Cervixalot posted:Sorry, missed the first part of that convo. Alex Smith has a great floor, and with Peyton's status being a big question mark this year, probably smart to pick him up as insurance while we wait a few weeks to see if Manning returns to form, especially if you think he'll get snagged by another league mate, given his solid performance in Week 1. I don't know if I like Smith as a play in Week 2 though, as the Chiefs face Denver on Thurs after a short week, with a super legit Denver Defense. Dalton has been a super sub for me for years (not this one unfortunately), love that ginger.

He made it to our champ game. He couldn't provide a reason this year, and even with 3 qbs, his roster is stacked. He's our league's idiot savant, seriously.

the_american_dream posted:Is there any reason outside of "its only been one week you loving knee jerking idiot calm the hell down" that I shouldnt windmill slam Peyton/Anderson for Lacy/Fitzpatrick? I have Tannehill too (2qb) Honore_De_Balzac posted:I would. I also wouldn't have draft Peyton or Anderson, but it's too late for that. As a counterpoint, Peyton's corpse is a better play this season than Fitzpatrick. Fitz played 12 games last year, and if you take out his 358-6-0 game, he put up 2100-11-8, and not against a very imposing set of opponents. I don't think it's crazy to think he does better than last year, but Peyton could have his worst year since his rookie year and still come out ahead of Fitzpatrick. E: If you have two other QBs better than Fitzpatrick, so that trading Peyton means you're starting your QB2 and QB3 and Fitz becomes your new QB3, then that's a fantastic trade. If you'd be starting Fitzpatrick every week, I think I'd pass. sourdough fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Sep 14, 2015 |

Hold on, I can just swing Gurley into my IR spot and add Smith. Also someone else int he league has Rodgers and Cam and needs RB help, maybe I'll see what he wants.

Should I trade Romo/Hopkins for Rodgers/Hilton I like Hopkins a lot but I also like Hilton, and the Hilton owner has basically no healthy WR I have plenty of WR depth to get me through the next week or two, and Romo will probably be iffy without Dez

Yeah, I'd be wary too. 2014 stats: Romo 17 PPG average Rodgers 22 PPG average 5 points a week upgrade at QB, and you substitute your WR1 for another WR1 who is now injured and may not play next week

I mean, 5 points a week is pretty big! I would take it if I had acceptable WR cover but I wouldn't call you crazy if you turned it down.

Ok... So, I took Indy DEF because of their "easy" schedule but it blew up in my face. Jets DEF is available on the waiver wire, and I was considering dropping Indy for NYJ but I'm struggling to pull the plug for a few reasons: a) They play each other next week b) Can Luck really be that horrible two weeks in a row c) Can NYJ really play that good two weeks in a row d) Indy seems to have a much easier schedule after next week (the trap that got me into this mess to begin with) So, what do you say Also, drop Kaepernick for Palmer, or keep Kaepernick in hope of a trade?

How are we feeling about Christine Michael as a stash after Week 1? I still think there's a not unreasonable chance he gets a shot at significant carries in the Cowboys backfield at some point this season as neither Randle nor McFadden wowed yesterday, but that chance may not come until mid-to-late season. I'm wondering whether trying to trade CMike for Ronnie Hillman is the smart move for my team right now to hedge some risk, or if Hillman's price will be too high at the moment. Thoughts? My Roster (.5 PPR): QB: Big Ben RB: CJA, JStew, Spiller, Yeldon, CMike WR: Cobb, Evans, ARob, Stevie, Martavis, Charles Johnson, Agholor TE: Olsen

Yeah, I think it depends on who your WR2 and WR3 are. I'm not sure I like it in a vacuum, but if your next two guys up both have top-25 upside, I feel like it'd be a risk I'd be willing to take. e: Elotana posted:I did RB-Zero so I have more than acceptable WR cover, Hopkins is actually my WR3 (and perma-FLEX unless I trade him).

Just to elaborate, I go to the Arodge/Cam owner who's starting L. Murray and M. Gordon at RB with zero depth on his bench. I flat out admit im worried about Peyton and ask what he wants for Cam outside of J. Hill and J. Jones. The reply I get is "make me an offer" I jokingly offer Dion Lewis and Stevie Johnson for a loving backup QB he's never going to use. Lowball offer? Sure, but I'm not going to bid against myself. I made the offer with every intention of getting a counter and all I get is "you came to me, make a better offer" so my reply was just "enjoy Gordon and Murray as your RBs for the rest of the year with a QB you can't do anything with". For fucks sake how much more do you have to give to people to make them listen.

I bitch at my league every year to make counter trades to me on my offers. I always start the offer low, duh that's pretty much negotiating 101, and almost just get "lol ya right" and a denied email. If you don't want to make a trade that's fine and dandy, don't tell me to send you an offer than cut off talks at the first attempt.

Early season trading is drat near impossible sometimes because people still have their pre-season impressions and overvaluations of their owns players in mind. "Yeah he had a bad game in weeks 1 and 2, but this backup RB who's third in a messy RBBC on a bad team is totally going to win me the league so I'll need at least a WR1 in return for him."

I've got a guy in two of my leagues who says he is open to trade offers, but never does anything besides decline or say 'I'll take a look at your team.' I've been sending him texts and trade offers with well-explained rationale for some dynasty trades, and get nothing outside of a reject, no counter offers, no explanations, nothing. A frustrating waste of time.

Dear Fantasy Football, Thank you for reminding me that most of the choices I make in life are the wrong one. My team does not give me confidence after week 1. Luckily for me, I'll probably be lowest score and get first pick at waivers due to our reverse standing setting. What are some recommended moves? My team: QB: Peyton, Romo RB: Lynch, Gore, Abdullah, Randle WR: OBJ, A. Johnson, S. Johnson, Boldin, Perriman TE: Olsen, Daniels I figure I can target Beasley or Moncrief, and can drop Owen Daniels for it, but don't know what the best move is. I feel like I need the WR help because Abdullah/Randle can be bumped up and I will need a new flex. I am more confident in them than I am of AJ80 who I am not sure what to do with at the moment, and a real WR2 would be a big help.

Whelp with the update on Dez's injury Bremel is saying the average return for the injury is 8-9 weeks. Most aggressive return being 6 weeks. Probably going to see what I can get in trade at this point. Maybe target Evans/Hilton/Calvin in a packaged deal.

Williams TE: Rodgers, Hill And I sent him a low-ball of VJax, Yeldon, David Johnson, and Christine Michael for Ingram and Spiller. He told me to gently caress myself.

It really takes a couple of weeks of bad play for people to panic, and winless teams make great trade targets. That's how I swapped Cutler for Rodgers last year. Of course separating someone's potential from their likely production is never a sure thing early on.

Yeah week 3 is my absolute favorite time to trade. 2 bad/mediocre games from a player with upside is usually enough to convince his owner that ok maybe he made a mistake drafting him, and can get you some really nice results. Assuming said player, you know, actually bounces back and doesn't just suck all year.

Hillman should cost a lot more than CMike. DMC didn't impress, but I thought Randle was solid, and Dunbar was a fantastic 3rd down back. I don't think CMike sniffs the field anytime soon.
