Possible trade in a 14 team 1 PPR league, 6pt passing TDs. Foster and Kaepernick for Brees. What say the goonmind? I have Kaepernick and Dalton currently for my QBs. RBs are Foster, Charles, Jeremy Hill, Woodhead, and Knile Davis.

His RBs are currently Alfred Morris, Sankey, Carlos Hyde, and Jonathan Stewart. Pretty terrible so I can see why he would want Foster. I feel like my team's primary weakness is quarterback if anything but I do give up some depth in this trade. It may be a situation where it's better for me to just stand pat and see how the first week or two pans out.

Then again he had a horrendous preseason, so I don't know whether you'll get better value for him now, or after he struggles for three or four weeks. Is your trade partner planning on starting Kaep, or is Brees his backup?

I actually think the trade is fair, but if I were you I'd try to squeeze out an extra extra, if you know what I mean. Ask for Brees + Sankey. If he balks, Brees + JStew. I think he would laugh if you asked for Morris so I'll let you decide that one.

PPR league where I sort of boned myself in that I drafted three WRs (we start two) and seven RBs (also two) because I was just looking at value and not need, a kind goon (who has the opposite problem) has offered me Mike Wallace for Jeremy Hill. Leaning accept but I just want to make sure I'm not being dumb about it. The main thing making me hesitate is that I'd be able to keep hill for I think a seventh or eighth next year if I hang on to him, which is a nice fallback.

I've currently got the Saints D and I have a conundrum. I'm pretty high on the Saints D but Week 1 it's Saints vs. ATL. The Jets' D is available and they play at home against the OAK. Am I crazy in dropping the Saints and attempting to pick them back up next week?

Trade advice posted late last night, reposting for the day crew. .5ppr My team: Qb: Brady, romo RB: Martin, L. bell, Stacy, gerhart, Greene Wr: Cobb, Cruz, Patterson, t. Williams, Britt Te: Jcam His team: Qb: Foles RB: vereen, fjax, pierce, Bradshaw, Blount Wr: dez, aj80, Floyd, j. Matthews Te: Graham, Gronk, green So he's obviously to a need at RB. I'm keeping Martin, and he's told me he likes bell more than Stacy. He likes Cobb and Brady. I like Dez, vereen, Foles, aj80, and Floyd. I offered Bell, Cobb, T Will for Dez and Fjax. He seemed to like that one. Giving too much for Dez? I tried other permutations to get gronk but I don't think he wants to give him up. Help me make an offer?

Cross-posting from the Week 1 Thread because I think this might get a better response here. Had my first draft yesterday and I think my starters ended up being really solid for the most part, but my bench is pretty terrible from what I can tell. It was really difficult for me to draft in the later rounds because I had no clue who was a good value pick (inexperience being the main reason). Would appreciate any feedback on my overall draft. This league is a 10 Team, 0.5PPR, otherwise standard scoring. QB: Tom Brady RB: Jamaal Charles RB: Ryan Matthews WR: Dez Bryant WR: Jordy Nelson TE: Rob Gronkowski FLX: DeSean Jackson DEF: Bengals BNCH: Eric Decker BNCH: Fred Jackson BNCH: Chris Ivory BNCH: Cecil Shorts BNCH: Brandin Cooks BNCH: Carson Palmer I am thinking I should put Decker in the FLX position instead of DeSean but other than that I think I go with my starters. Also, just how bad is my bench and what position do I really need to shore up? Thanks a lot.

MrSargent posted:Cross-posting from the Week 1 Thread because I think this might get a better response here. If you keep reposting there, it should get answered. Be patient, at this is the time where we are busy masturbating over our own rosters. You actually drafted very well. The problem I have with DJax right now is that his production is tied to the hip with RG3's confidence and playing ability. There is no doubt that RG3 is one of the better bomb-throwers in the league, which is right up DJax's alley, but I would be tons more comfortable playing Decker because Geno Smith has improved as a QB and is going to rely on Decker to bail him out quite often. I am high on Decker in the flex position and would prefer seeing a week out of RG3+DJax before entrusting the latter with production.

Is there a reason nobody seems to be interested in Rivers this year? Last year in my league settings (6pt passing td, 0.2 per completion) he was the #3 QB. Last night I picked him up in the 11th round and I don't know if I'm missing something

LmaoTheKid posted:People forgetting the new penalties that will help the passing game? Actually that's a good point - if a QB throws to a WR, no catch, but they get the defensive pass interference penalty... does it count as a caught pass for fantasy points? Because I think we'll see a lot of those in game 1, but I don't think it will impact the fantasy production that much until later in the season. e. also last year Seattle was the most penalized team, but they still went to the superbowl. Cheating pays.

He's a stud until proven otherwise. The only way he becomes a non-stud is if Cobb rips into his production, which didn't really happen before.

IcePhoenix posted:Could you go into this a little? I appreciate the advice but without the logic behind it it doesn't really tell me anything. Right now with the way things are shaping up in CIN, JHill is looking as high as an RB2 for the regular season. He is decisive, talented, and has been promised by the coaching staff to be the 1B to Gio Benard's 1A. He is going to be productive from the start and vaults into RB1 territory if Gio misses time for any reason. You are giving that up for Mike Wallace, a talented wideout who was criminally under-used last season. While Wallace is going to be used more under Bill Lazor's ChipKellian system, there are still two major issues to consider. 1) Wallace and Tannehill still do not have much in the way of proving that they have their chemistry down pat. 2) The o-line is still a huge mess. As last year's most-sacked QB, Tannehill's o-line has not proven to anyone that this situation has improved. Their best player, Mike Pouncey, is going to be out 4-6 weeks with a hip injury. The upside value of JHill is just too great in my opinion to give up for a potential value in Mike Wallace, especially where both are being drafted at their respective ADPs.
