I really like Dion Lewis because I can already tell someone in my league is going to blow their waiver spot on picking him up this week and I get to move up and be in better position to grab someone actually useful in the next couple of weeks. :dance:

Where'd you hear that? I'm trying to decide who to play for WR2 and flex right now. It's between Alshon Jeffery, Jeremy Matthews, and Carlos Hyde. Unfortunately I won't be around during gametime so I pretty much have to set my lineup now

Here's hoping Mike Evans plays. Got John Brown as backup just in case.

I used a combination of my football addiction and trusting my customized beersheet.

Ended up with Julio Jones, Deandre Hopkins, Golden Tate, Stevie Johnson, and tyler Lockett (return yards count league).

That should be decent for the season, but if Deanthony thomas is returning punts as a wr and getting some dump offs he might be a good backup in my W/T flex, right?

Foster apparently "cutting hard".

Looking good for a week 3 return. I'm pretty stoked. Got him in the 8th round in a half-ppr league, where he was a late 1st-rounder for me prior to the injury. I'll take 2 missing weeks for a first rounder in the 8th any time.

Didn't they have to reattach his groin muscle to the bone?

I think I've read about four different place now, "if Mike Evans doesn't play, Vincent Jackson is a must start!" But like every other player I have for my flex spot plays at noon (cst) so I'm likely rolling with Allen Robinson or Crowell instead. Which sucks because of course VJax will put up 20 pts if this plays out.

I draft under the assumption that literally every starter on my roster will get injured. I have a backup plan for all of them, Foster included.

Drafted the Rams as my DEF but considering picking up the Panthers as they're playing the Jaguars in Week 1 (whereas Rams are up against the Seahawks).

Don't think I want to drop the Rams though. I'm leaning toward dropping Tyler Eifert (as I'm starting Jason Witten). Additional bench options include:

RB - Bishop Sankey
RB - Tevin Coleman
RB - Todd Gurley
WR - Eric Decker

Any thoughts?

I'd drop sankey TBH. TEN clearly doesn't have faith in him and their OLine sucks anyway.


My own question:

What kind of value does Alfred Blue have right now? If you own him, what do you do? Sit and wait, or see what you can still get in trade? What kind of trade value does he actually have in PPR? RB3, WR3, WR4, ...? Anyone care to name names?

Starting Josh Brown in one of my flexes so I can swap him for Evans if he is going to play. I have Morris in the other and Yeldon, Duke and Gio on the bench, any of those a better option at flex in a full PPR?

Also, in another league I have Owen Daniels at TE, nothing out there but Vernon Davis, just hold course for at least today, right? Thanks!

Amari Cooper, McFadden, Stevie Johnson

Trade value is probably pretty small for a RB who's potentially only starting for 2-4 weeks, and not a very good RB at that. In IDP league's, i wouldn't even be surprised if JJ Watt outscored him in fantasy.

I'm also currently starting him in my league while i wait for Le'veon Bell and Arian Foster to come back. so not really liking it.

The Irish can't drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish I've known gets mean when he drinks.
I've gotta decide between Blue and Melvin Gordon in half PPR. I think I've got to go with Gordon, as I think he's got way more upside, but I'm not really happy about it.

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reported Arian Foster (groin surgery) has told teammates a return in Week 2 is "quite possible."
La Canfora said the "worst case scenario" would be Week 3 as long as Foster does not suffer any setbacks. Foster said he was "ahead of schedule" this week and was reportedly "moving quickly and decisively" on a side field at practice. Owners who took the risk on Foster this August should reap the benefits sometime in the very near future.

Last year I believe FantasyPros had a live fantasy score tracker that let you know who was making plays and how they ranked in real time. It doesn't look like that's on their site this year, but is anyone else running something similar?

E: ScoreCenter still works. Just couldn't find a link to it through the Fantasypros site for some reason. http://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/scorecenter.php
