VietCampo posted: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. I am the Morris owner, which is why I'm offering the trade. Matthews is that guys fourth receiver, I think. Maybe third. I figure since he lacks RB depth, it could work for both of us. I just didn't want to seem like I was lowballing him too much.

For whatever reason everybody in my league except for me is carrying two defenses so pickings are slim. I've got Green Bay right now but I'm not a big fan of their match up against Chicago. My options right now are Cincinnati, Indy, San Francisco, Minnesota, and Cleveland. I'm leaning toward Cincinnati right now because of the Raiders. Thoughts?

Cleveland with Jets, Titans, and Raiders the first three weeks is even better, except the Browns D will be on the field a ton because Browns O is awful. Not sure which I'd prefer, but either of them is better than GB. Minnesota has the Niners week 1 which is great, but then they're droppable. And for what it's worth, those pickings are not slim at all. Miami and Carolina are a little nicer, but otherwise Cleveland, Indy, and Minnesota are great to start the year with.

Their preseason defense has been 'meh' because both Clay Matthews and Peppers have been out for it, and that's a major part of the scheme. The Bears have a new offensive scheme they'll be putting in, and will be without one of their key receivers, and possibly Alshon as well if some of the rumors are true. Their o-line is still sub-par. The Raiders actually look like they have their offense coming together, somehow.

The Colts have a super easy schedule the first 5 weeks with Bills, Jets, Titans, Jags, and Texans so they could be worth picking up for that stretch. Bengals would only be good for Game 1.

After an auction draft in .5 PPR (2RB, 3WR, 1 Flex) my RBs are currently Joique, TJ Yeldon, Crowell, Duke Johnson, Denard and Roy Helu. My WRs are Dez, JJ, Cooks, Davante Adams, Larry Fitz and John Brown. I'm thinking of offering a trade for either Gore or Foster but I'm not sure what to give up. Alternately I might just wait to see how Week 1 shakes out - maybe I'm not in the worst shape.

Maybe package Fitz and Brown + 1RB for a top RB, if you can, to a WR-starved team. Joique should be fine, Yeldon I'm worried about, Crowell might time share, and the rest probably won't do much early.

wattershed posted: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. Yeah its wonky like that. I think it's because if the ESPN code treated IR like a bench spot, leagues would be forced into drafting an additional round to fill up the faux bench spot.

People are hyperventilating that he's "already injured" etc. when he elected to clean up his knee in time to be ready by week 1. It's unfathomable to me how people can be so high on Spiller in one second and then let him fall so far in the next for such a dumb reason. There are mocks where I can grab him in the 6th round. Though I think I may have underestimated Coleman. Dude has looked great this preseason. Doesn't change Spiller's prospects as much as it does Colston's, but the Saints passing game should be fine (even Snead came up with some nice catches).

I'm with you. I don't know why but I have this love affair with the Saints where they always have my fantasy focus. My first year in fantasy I luck-drafted Jimmy Graham prior to his breakout, last year drafted Cooks/Khiry in the teen rounds in a keeper, and this year drafted Spiller across all three of my leagues and Coleman in two (incl. final round of keeper). Where I drafted Spiller, he's on my bench not because I moved him down there but because he was drafted after my starting spots were filled. That's crazy value for a guy who is clearly talented and if used properly can produce efficiently. Spiller doesn't work as a bellcow, but he sure as hell could produce as the Sproles of old. I'm sure Colston is a nice man and gets his mother flowers every year, but if he can just get the hell out of the way that'd be great thanks

Trying to get a trade together for his Greg Olsen. My current TE is Ertz, he has Olsen, Daniels, and Gresham. His RB and WR are fairly terrible. I offered Brandon Marshall, straight up (my WR: Julio, Cooks, BMarsh, Allen Robinson, Charles Johnson, Markus Wheaton. My RB: Jamaal, Miller, Yeldon, Crowell, McFadden, Knile Davis). I think Ertz to Olsen is a big upgrade worth giving up Marshall, but now he says he wants a 2 for 1 and I should offer another player. Is there anyone on my team worth packaging or do I just tell this guy to go screw?

Offer him Marshall + Kniles and push how Kniles is an instant RB1 if Charles goes down. If he balks, offer DMC and provide links (I've posted these before) from Roto that say "DAL thinks DMC is the most talented back" or some such drivel. The last back I would offer for Olsen would then be Crowell.

There is a subtle difference between DMC and Mathews. DMC had a lot of repetitive injuries to the same soft-tissue areas (I call it Miles Austin Syndrome) whereas Mathews' documented injuries were not related to each other. His broken collarbone on like the first play of the season some years ago was followed by the most knee-jerky "INJURY PRONE" reaction from fantasy fans when that part of the body has never been a problem for him in the past. One of the reasons why I am making this argument is because my favorite joke in all of fantasy is predicting that DMC gets injured during the coin toss.

Someone just traded Jeremy Hill for Greg Olsen in a ppr keeper league (keep four, they are your first four picks) I'm in and I'm on tilt about it someone talk me down. The only thing I can do to help me justify it is remember that we start 3 wr 2 rb with no flex and he's already keeping lynch and lacy but even then it only brought me down to where I'm at now.

Do you guys think I can get anything for brees in an 8 man 6PPTD standard league? I already have Wilson so he's just taking up a spot on my bench, so I'd like to try to work out a trade if possible. This is the team that seems like it could use an upgrade at QB and has a surplus of WR's which I could use at WR2/Flex (currently at WR I have OBJ, Jordan Mathews, Brandon Marshall, Cruz, and charles Johnson and allen Robinson. Not terrible options but there's definitely room for improvement, a couple I just snagged off the waiver wire after hearing some buzz) He has: QB- Matt Ryan WR- Cobb, A. Jeffery, K. Allen, B. Cooks, Wallace. I was gonna try and get him to trade me Cooks for Brees; but I think I'm overestimating Brees value, especially in an 8 man league. I doubt he'll agree to it so I'm guessing I'll probably end up either sitting on Brees for a bit and see how it all pans out or just drop him but I figured I'd ask. Also, which of these WR/RB would you guys play for game 1? I can't decide on my flex, 0PPR. Brandon Marshall, Victor Cruz, Charles Johnson, Allen Robinson, Jonathan Stewart. Marshall seems like the obvious choice to me but I just want to double check with the experts. I haven't heard anything about Stewart as of late but last I checked he was still the panthers only decent back. (I'm new to this so if I'm terribly wrong that's why!!)

If your list of "injury risks in the NFL" isn't "literally everybody" then you're doing it wrong. Unless a dude is already injured you probably shouldn't be letting injury concerns modify your valuations*, and simply extrapolating future injuries from past injuries is real dumb. *At this point I'm probably willing to cede slot receivers and TEs with concussion histories (I have zero shares of Cameron this year despite the big production I think he'll get when he's healthy), undersized running backs forced by their coaches to bang between the tackles, and skill players with frequent and recurring soft-tissue injuries to the same muscle groups (DMC). But notice that these are specific past injuries or present circumstances that have specific predictive utility for specific future injuries.

The rumors of Joseph Randle's demise have been greatly exaggerated. I'm pulling for the guy not only because he's on my team but because every time he rushes for 3 yards all the fantasy pundits scoff and say "Murray would've had 5, this Randle guy is a scrub."
