Tough call.. Oakland D is decent against TEs.. But I'd probably still go Henry because Denver being Denver

Coates. Jets secondary is giving up a lot of yards and a lot of big plays and they are on the road. Ben is going deep, and he's going deep often.

Unbelievable. The WR I picked up (Royal) to fill in for my injured WR (Decker) and bye week replacements (Snead and Hurns) is now injured and questionable for Sunday. And there's no one left on the waiver wire that even gets enough playing time to make it worth picking them up.

Hopefully not too much. They have a game at 8pm.

Should I try and pick up Tyrell Williams and drop Allen Hurns off the waiver?

To be honest, some of the fantasy magic went away for me a few years ago when I was top 3 in points scored but couldn't even manage to make the playoffs. Or when the champion with the best record in the league is middle of the road in points scored but gets the benefit of playing against opponents with awful weeks again and again.
Truth is, a vast majority of fantasy football is just stupid luck. ¯\_(ツ

Royal is always injured. In fact, that Chicago WR core is always injured.
that's a tough one for me. I feel like flacco is safer but the bucs pass so damn much and mike evans is a beast plus carolina's defense doesn't look nearly as potent as it has in seasons past. plus the bucs just got done playing denver. however the panthers just got fucking embarrassed so they could potentially come out swinging. all of that is to say I'd probably go with flacco this week. I love jameis on the season though. his schedule is great and his playoff schedule is as ideal as you could hope for. the saints twice and the cowboys.

Injuries are by far the least fun thing about fantasy football. It's generally the team with the most high round pick players still playing by the end of the season that wins.

Trying to decide between Melvin Gordon and Deandre Washington. Decisions...decisions.

Gonna assume that's a joke
Don't know who I want to start at receiver this week. Decker is out again and Baldwin is on bye.
Deciding between Hogan against my Brownies shitty D plus Tommy is back, Enunwa against Pittsburgh or Sammie Coates against the Jets.
Oh, also debating if I'm going to ride with Hunter one more week or start Walker again.

Got a trade offer in my league
Doug Martin and Charles Sims for Will Fuller.
I definitely need Running Backs and since he is offering the backup that's pretty good. Fuller has been killing it though.
My WR's:
Mike Evans
Amari Cooper
Jeremy Maclin
Will Fuller
Allen Hurns
Eddie Royal
RB's
Todd Gurley
Jeremy Hill
Giovani Bernard
Chris Ivory
Guess it seems pretty obvious but what do you guys think?

I'd take it as he's giving you Martin and his handcuff.. it's more than fair

Yeah I know just wanted more opinions haha thanks. I'm going to do it.

Won't go into specifics, but different type of league.
Right now starting Duke Johnson as my RB over Sims.
I could get DeAndre Washington. Would drop Jamison Crowder and start Washington over Duke. Here's the rub, would cost $50 to do. Normal FA cost is $5 with potential to bid higher if two or more people want the same guy.
Would start Duke or pay the $50 for Deandre?

I don't know much about FAAB.. but that seems expensive to do. Duke is reliable for probably 5 points or so still even with Crow taking most of the carries.
Are you that desperate for RBs? If so, then yeah because Washington should get most of the carries reportedly.
No problem

Seems like a lot of dough to commit up front for an RB situation that's in flux. Washington has yet to log his first start and has a talented guy in Jalen Richard right behind him.
And I say that as a DeAndre owner in multiple leagues. (FAAB leagues where I paid a lot less for him off the wire... like $0 before Latavius Murray got himself hobbled with turf toe.)
I think I'd stick with Duke and Crowder.
UberTag

Yes.
RedNalgene

Eli@GB Or Winston@Carolina? Either of them would be my backup long term (Bree's is my starter) so they're sorta a 1 week rental.
Hazelhurst
Member
Nope. Serious. Deandre Washington could have a huge game.
PackerinMN
Member
Eli. Packers secondary has been abysmal. Shields is still out and Damarius Randall is questionable. Pack is also #1 in run D. Giants will need to pass.
natjjohn
Member
I think Eli goes off this week. Gut feeling along with the info shared by teh poster above me.
RedNalgene
Member
Thanks guys. Just pulled the trigger. Let's go Eli! I'll be at the game too, so it will give me something to cheer about.
Who are your other RBs? Also, ppr? But yes, leaning towards def take that trade.

Cam out guys. Pick up a backup if you own him.
natjjohn

What I thought to.
Zero dollars not an option in this league. Have to do at least $5 and if more than one wants same person. Blind bid
BronsonLee

Crowell or Fozzy Whittaker for my RB slot? PPR league
Also Delanie Walker or Zach Miller for TE
Also Delanie Walker or Zach Miller for TE
Alright, I got a real crisis on my hand. It's Drew Brees' bye, so I have to burn a roster spot on a QB this week. However, due to bye weeks and massive injurys/uncertanty, I need to drop 1 player because I don't have a kicker currently, and also set a lineup
My Roster
RB:
Issaih Crowell
Terrance West
Charles Sims
Jacquizz Rodgers
WR:
Terrelle Pryor
Steve Smith
TE:
Delanie Walker
INJURED/BYE
Mark Ingram
Latavius Murray
Stefon Diggs
Eric Decker
I don't think Sims is going to play, and even if he is, it's not till monday night so it's not like I can use him unless I also have Rodgers on my team.
I guess this boils down to- am I starting Delanie Walker at flex and dropping Rodgers, or am I dropping Walker and starting Rodgers?

I'd start Miller and Crowell. Hoyer has keyed in on Miller recently and has actually been playing well at QB the past few weeks.
Whittaker may split with Artis-Payne and get shut down with Cam out. But, it's your team so don't hold me to this.

If I lose tomorrow I'm comin' for joo
Just wanted to note that I've added a half PPR option to my trade evaluator tool.

Halp!
Quincy Enuwa (who?) or DeAndre Hopkins this week?
Normally that would seem like a no brainer.. But Hopkins caught one pass for 4 yards last week and is playing the Vikings this week.. Is it crazy to bench him?
My other WR are Crabtree and Emmanuel Sanders.

Hopkins, go with your stud and don't forget who is throwing to Enunwa.

Hopkins.. don't overthink it. Play your best players
