Good points! So you'd drop West for Mccluster? Hopefully Jstew only misses a week or two. I was considering trying to offer Lockett or Sanu for someone like Gore or even Ivory since he'll be back soon

For what its worth Vikings picked up Ronnie Hillman.
EDIT: Aaand Josh Gordon has a warrant out for his arrest.

Worth taking a shot on Hillman or Mccluster for T.West?

Moncrief gone for 4-6 weeks with a fractured scapula. Might want to see if Phillip Dorsett is available if you have Donte.

post waiver update for my team:
picked up pitta as my swappable TE. Kelce will be on bye week 5, pitta plays WAS then, so should be set.
missed matt ryan by 1$ on waivers, nabbed dalton in FA though... hell be slow in the next few games, but his schedule eases up around my QB bye week...
rolling ravens D again this week...fingers crossed bortles doesnt throw up a ton of TDs
as of now though i'm playing pitta AND Flacco too... cantsay im too happy about playing 3 ravens this week...I could do kelce vs. Jets, but I really want to try pittas upside.
must win game for me though this week.

Picking up McKinnon/Asiata is a good stash but I not to start them against CAR.
I need some help deciding on my starters this week. I faceoff against my older brother, so I need to win those bragging rights!
QB - I'm thinking of starting Tyrod Taylor over Russel Wilson since Wilson/Seahwaks have looked so hot
3 WR/1 Flex - I currently have Jordy Nelson, Jarvis Landry, Marvin Jones Jr, and TY Hilton starting with Jeremy Maclin, Sterling Shepard and Victor Cruz on the Bench

Let's hope for the best! No one picked him up off waivers and I snagged him for free early this morning. Might need to start him if Charles is out again

People beat me to it, but I have no faith in either over the crew I have now

Plus the Hillman pickup further muddies the waters in MIN. I picked up McKinnon but I don't think any of them are worth a roster spot for the next couple of weeks.
Having a hard time deciding between Gore and Blount in a flex spot (PPR). Both are the workhorses and both have decent matchups....Leaning towards Blount just based on reading the rankings this morning.
Also, someone dropped Arian Foster in a league I'm in. Seemed a bit premature to me. Worth it to pick up the scraps?

Ronnie Hillman was signed by the Vikings. In a 14 team league, worth the pickup?

I wouldn't touch anybody on the Vikes for at least 4 weeks RB wise

No chance. Jerrick McKinnon and Matt Asiata are at the top of the pecking order there, I would only add Hillman in 16+ team leagues where there's nothing but the RB practice squad left.
Realistically Hillman has never been that good AND is on a new offense, so he would need injuries to have any future value.

i just dropped tyrod after keeping him for a rnd 16 in my league....hes too boom or bust right now and his team is a mess. i'd try for Matt ryan or flacco even over tyrod. dalton has more long term potential with his future schedule, and getting eiffert back.. esp if Hill continues to flounder

Due to all of these injuries and a bit of luck stashing players on my bench, I now have a hard decision to make. Who should I put in my FLEX (0.5 PPR):
Sims vs LA
Shepard vs WAS
Ware vs NYJ (if Charles is out)
Dorsett vs SD
Enumwa @ KC
I currently have Sims in, but all of them have a reason to be put in. I also have Dwayne Washington, but I feel like he can sit on the bench while I see how the DET situation works out

I would have it between either Hurns or Ebron. Maybe a slight edge to Ebron based on the matchups.

Need some advice on who to start this week, I have no idea what I'm doing here, lol.
WR: (pick three)
Amari Cooper @ Tenn.
Mohamed Sanu @ N.O.
Mike Wallace @ Jax
Jeremy Maclin vs NYJ
Michael Crabtree @ Tenn.
Tajae Sharpe vs OAK
I have Dennis Pitta and Martellus Bennett but I am thinking of going with Pitta because the QB situation for the patriots seems bad and they're facing a decent defense in Houston.

essentially...points stay the same... i've had antonio brown throw a td before on one play... at least i think it was AB. regardless of who though....the scoring stays the same.
He'll be in your WR position but I'm sure he'll give you points for passing stats as well. It's like past RBs/WRs who are also kick returners will give you points for kick return tds.

Cooper/Maclin should definitely be numbers 1 and 2, no question. After that, I'd say Wallace should be #3 due to his big play upside
Tom Nook
Member
Yup. He would basically become the most valuable receiver in fantasy, if that were to happen.
I remember, for some reason, Yahoo had Marques Colston as a TE one year, despite him being basically the Saints WR1. He was the best "TE" in the league that year.

That's what I'm hoping will happen to Enumwa. Fingers crossed

Joe Webb was another, WR/QB, and technically Terrele Pryor also (or last year, Denard Robinson was RB/WR, making him an interesting "flex" play)
Basically, the NFL sends a player eligibility list before the season and then prior to each week. Fantasy servers like ESPN/Yahoo can ask for clarification sometimes but they are generally locked in and won't see changes on the offensive end. You'll still sometimes see multi-position on a few guys but the NFL tends to lock it down to one position. Hard to say if ESPN/Yahoo asked for more restriction or the league did it itself, but multi-eligibility tends to be frowned upon.

I'm getting a trade request for Mccoy for Jordy and was wondering if I should do it.
My team so far is :
QB: Eli Manning
RB: Matt Jones
WR1: D.Hop
WR2: Jordy Nelson
WR/RB: Michael Flyod
TE: Greg Olson
I do need a stronger RB and I can probably slot Matt Jones in the flex. Bench wise I have Tyler Lockett, Pierre Garcon, and Terrance West.

I...feel better rostering Jordy. At least you're locked in at WR and Jordy's value is about as low as it can be. The Bills aren't going to become an offensive juggernaut.

I picked up McCluster off the waiver.. The question I have is should I put him in the Flex or the following..
Tamme
Adams
Bennett
Coates
I also have Jordan Howard and I am thinking he's going to be the number one soon for Chicago.. Should I plug him in the lineup or wait till more info comes out because I have Duke Johnson that I could put in the Flex as well.

without knowing anything else I'd take that and run. I hate situations like freeman and coleman and fuller has been really good through 2 games and is getting targets.

Worth streaming Miami DST over New England DST this week?
That 3rd string QB Browns matchup looks juicy.

I'm thinking it might make sense. Right now my two RBs are CJ Anderson and Melvin Gordon. Them and Coleman all have the same bye week so that would have been the week I would have been most likely to use him.
What's the situation with Freeman and Coleman? From looking online Coleman is potentially overtaking his teammate for a starting spot? Sorry, like I said I really don't know a lot about the NFL. This is my first season following it.
