In all 4 of my leagues, Peyton never dropped past 30. All it took was Luck and Rodgers being taken in the 2nd round and people panic and grab Peyton.

Yeah, of course. He's a great bet to finish in the top 5, if not the top 3. His dip in production last year seems fair to attribute to his injury, not old age.

I thought as much as well. He just fell so far that I actually started to question it.

Huh, someone just dropped Fred Jackson in my league to grab Jerick McKinnon and I'm currently #2 in the waiver order

I kind of want to grab him, given my questionable RB depth, but I don't really know who to drop to do so. Or whether or not I even should even be dropping anyone, as Jackson's situation is definitely in flux and I like my guys (though I'm currently trying to trade Ertz for J.Stew or TJ Yates to address the same issue).

I'd hold off on FJax until we see what team signs him. If he goes to Seattle it's almost purely as a pass blocker since Pete doesn't really do RBBC and he'd just burn a hole on your bench, but if he lands on a team where he can consistently get 8-10 touches that's more ideal for a RB3/flex.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
I would hang onto them both for now considering Sam Bradford has two exploded knees and the replacement level QB in a 14-team league is probably, like, Jay Cutler?

Guy has been trash every year besides that 1 year.

Besides that one year (71-1162-15), he put up ~1000+ yards three more times between 2007 and 2011 (70-995-5, 86-1022-7, 81-1159-5). No way in hell I'm drafting him this year, but he was a quality WR for awhile there.

Yeah I actually looked up his PFR files and saw he put up those 3 seasons. Its the reason I edited my post.

I just only ever heard about the season he had 15 tds and then all the griping that KC fans have made about how he never lived up to potential after he got payed.

To be fair, I was surprised he had so many decent seasons too. I only looked him up because I didn't remember him having any big year, haha.

Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Jimmy T.
In general, I would say its never worth having 2 Tight Ends. I think JT's ceiling this year is his production last year so I don't think that is worth a roster spot, depending on what else is available on the WW. Are you weak at RB/WR?

Crowell could still be worth a stash. Who are your other RB's? Are you weak at WR depth? I can't see LaFell doing more than he did last year but maybe thats ok.

I feel like I have 6 pretty good WRs already so I don't really want to pick up anyone else at that position. I'd like to shore up RB a little bit, but I don't really see any good RBs on waivers. Probably the best of the lot are Dan Herron, Eddie Starks, Branden Oliver or Zach Zenner.

I don't like LaFell more than any of your WRs, and many of your RBs are pretty high risk, so I'd definitely keep Crowell so you have some cover when several of your RBs inevitably bust.

So I dropped LaFell for Stevie Johnson in one of my autodraft leagues, because I don't really like LaFell. However, I'm thinking I acted rashly. I've got Ty Montgomery sitting on my bench, and I think he is dropable. Who would you rather have? Boldin or LaFell?

Getting start/sit opinions early. For my last WR spot in a PPR:

John Brown vNO
Golden Tate @SD
Cole Beasley vNYG
Markus Wheaton @NE

I really really really want to start Brown but I feel like Tate is the safe option.

LaFell has value in the IR spot if you've got one but I would rather have Montgomery over either of those guys.

I have a feeling that Wheaton might get some targets with Bryant and Bell being out (that Antonio Brown doesn't already get). Add the fact that Brady's going to be slinging the ball in a hate fest, Pittsburgh will have the offense on the field quite a bit.

I would drop Crabtree but I'm lower on him than a lot of people. I think that offer is fair considering your need, but it could never hurt to shop him around a little more.

As long as you have the bench space or an IR slot, I would drop either one of Floyd of Perriman, depending on how much risk you are comfortable with. While both have not-insignificant injuries, both are expected to play this season. I don't anticipate that Floyd's production will deviate much from what we've already seen and he shouldn't be more than a flex or bye option, whereas Perriman has a better shot of emerging as a top target for Flacco and is in a better position to provide a better return over the season. I would lean on dropping Floyd since you have 3 decent starting options anyway with your first three wideouts.

Thank you, appreciate the response. I dropped Floyd, then remembered that ESPN's wonky and doesn't let you pick up players to throw them straight in an IR spot, but lets you drop a guy > pick up a guy on IR > move him to an IR slot > reacquire the guy you dropped. Why they basically have a workaround available for something like that is beyond me. Thinking I might just leave that roster spot open and it'll give me the flexibility to nab a possible breakout player after week 1's Sunday action.

Funny story from my auction draft last night...

CJ Anderson is up for nomination. To skip all the dink & dunk bids in the $1-20 range, a guy goes to enter '22' in the manual bid box on espn's draft app. He didn't see that he failed to clear the leading '1' in the text box, and accidentally attempted to bid $122. Given that he didn't have that money to spend on a single player, ESPN (in its infinite wisdom) auto-corrected his bid to the highest possible bid he *could* make at the time, $84. He didn't see that in time, however, and simply re-clicked the 'bid' button assuming that for whatever reason it just failed to accept his first mouse click. So, he bids $84 on CJ Anderson. He was screwed.

That is, *was* screwed, as at the same time he was trying to make his accidental $122 bid that was meant to be $22 but ended up as $84, another guy at our table was trying to make a normal bid on Anderson (the big red button) and it placed a bid for him at $85. Poor bastard.

In PPR league i'd take Matthews over Morris, especially since you already have Charles and Miller. Morris usually suffers a bit whenever RG3lol isn't in the starting lineup and Matthews has the potential to hog a lot of targets as long as Ertz is banged up.
