There are leagues where Cooks went undrafted? Jelly. People were reaching for him like 30+ spots ahead of his ADP in every league I'm in, even 10 teamers.

Cooks usage was really encouraging, they had him in all kinds of formations. Definitely real WR3 value there, with WR2 upside.

I like both. Cooks has more value. I actually picked Hurns up last week in one of the SA dynasty leagues, mostly because of Preseason reports and rumblings from the franchise, so his performance this week isn't totally out of nowhere. Redraft he's probably limited to wr3 this year, but keep an eye on him.

I was sitting in my office on that drizzly afternoon listening to the monotonous staccato of rain on my desk and reading my name on the glass of my office door: regnaD kciN

Don't know who I should replace with Cooks assuming I can get him off the waivers this week: Joique Bell, Bernard Pierce, Jeremy Hill, Mike Wallace, Kelvin Benjamin, Golden Tate, Josh Gordon

Edit: I mean, obviously Pierce played like crap, but I'm kind of willing to give him one more week since he's now the starter
Edit2: Or maybe I should replaced Pierce with James Starks?

Worse than I did before Week 1, but not ready to panic yet. I'm currently seeing if I can swing a trade to an RB needy team, but if I do I'm going to ask for 90% of what he was worth on draft day. Even then I'm less worried about Cunningham than I am the entire state of that team.

Miller and Walker are the consistent options, of the two of them I still like Miller best. Kelce is a long shot high upside option, given his usage in the first game. If you find yourself wanting to drop Reed at any point, I'd grab both Miller and Kelce.

I picked up Marquise Lee last week and still expect him to do big things, though Hurns does look very good.

To sign them is my real test

With full no movement clause
So who's everyone targeting for defense next week? Seems the obvious choices are:


Tampa Bay vs. St. Louis
Green Bay vs. NY Jets
New Orleans @ Cleveland



Hard to make up my mind on those three :ohdear:



Personnel-wise, I'm sure the Saints have to have the edge, but after getting embarrassed on national TV, I have to assume that Green Bay vs. the Jets at home has all the makings of a bounce-back slaughter. St. Louis just looks like a mess, but I'm not sure if I have too much confidence in a team that just got beaten by Derek Anderson.

Easily. Cooks is a smaller Percy Harvin, and in that offense he'll be like a Sproles on steroids. PPR god plus a ton of chances at TDs and big break out runs.

I'm not that big on Hurns though. That offense still has a ton of question marks.

Mortensen was on the MNF halftime just now and spoke about the drug policy. He said the player reps are voting on an agreement tomorrow, and sounded awful optimistic about Gordon and Welker being "reinstated".

Highest upside. Pierce kinda sucked and forsetts been on and off like five teams. Mostly talking about a dynasty stash. Wouldn't really want any part of Baltimore run game in a redraft if I can help it

Don't know much about football:

Considering the following drops. I'll likely be #2 on the waiver so I will likely get one of the two:
1: Drop Brian Hartline in favor of Justin Forsett
2: Drop Jared Cook in favor of Travis Kelce

Other considerations: Allen Hurns.

My line-up can be found here: http://i.imgur.com/CTX6Q0N.png

I was up 90 points going into the games tonight. My opponent was the laughingstock of the draft: autodrafted Stafford in the second, drafted Bush in the 3rd, finished the rest on autodraft. His team has 3 QBs (we start 1) and 5 TEs - we have a WR/TE flex so you don't have to start TEs. Stafford2Johnson and now I'm only up by 7 with 4:30 to go. Fantasy football why do you do this to me.

I've still scored over 30 points more than the next closest teams so I can't be too mad if I lose but drat. Losing the first game is such a downer.

I like Kelce going forward. Hurns had a good game because Philly blew coverage on him twice. He disappeared in the second half.

I need 10 points in a PPR league to win. I have available Dwyer, Ellington, or Woodhead. I have Woodhead in right now because he was RB12 in our scoring system last year. Brown might really eat up his production though. Stick with Woody?

I'm not sure who is available but receivers more than RBs. Cooks? Kelvin Benjamin?
