Buffalo beat writers saying Rex might triple-cover Gronk part of the time and now I have an overwhelming urge to drop Miller in order to start Chandler again. :negative:

Please god somebody talk me out of it, because it seems like every other person on the planet is convinced that Chandler shouldn't even be on the radar and I'm starting to feel like I'm actually delusional.

So how are we feeling about Sammy Watkins's donut in Week 1? I'm sure it will get better, but I'm wondering if it'd be worth dropping him for the likes of Tavon Auston or Percy Harvin.

I'm also sitting on Victor Cruz and Devin Funchess (waiting to see if his role will be expanded which I think it might) so I'm either starting Watkins or someone from the waivers. ...Or maybe I'm being fooling by stashing Cruz?

Thoughts on Tannehill and Bradford? Tannehill I think will bounce back, Washington has a surprisingly stout defense this year.

Didn't see the Miami game, so I can't comment on Tannehill, but don't worry about Bradford. He looked great in the second half once he got his feet under him. Remember he hasn't played a regular season game in a very long time, so he needs to shake some rust off. Look for him to really start shining in week 3 or 4 once he gets back up to speed. Also keep in mind that he had an extra touchdown that was incorrectly spotted at the one (Chip didn't challenge because he just wanted to keep momentum and punch it in apparently), plus his 4th quarter interception was pretty much entirely Jordan Matthews' fault. If you can buy him from someone who didn't see the game, I would -- my only hesitation would be a possible light ankle sprain that I haven't heard much news on.

I'm 1-0 with highest total points scored in my league, looking for some WW advice after Dez went down. Here's my team, 10 players, no PPR, standard scoring, short 4 player bench with 1 IR slot:

QB: Roethlisberger
RB: Lacy
RB: Hyde
RB: Ivory
WR: Megatron
WR: Brandon Marshall
TE: Martellus Bennett
D/ST: Panthers
K: Justin Tucker

BE: Isiah Crowell
BE: Melvin Gordon
BE: Latavius Murray
BE: (Open)
IR: Dez

Since I'm thin at WR, here's some available players on the WW:

WRs: Stevie Johnson, Golden Tate, Travis Benjamin, Percy Harvin, Donte Moncrief, Nate Washington, Tyler Lockett, Harry Douglas
RBs: Bishop Sankey, Danny Woodhead, Marcel Reece, DeAngelo Williams, Dion Lewis
QBs: Mariota, Alex Smith, Phillip Rivers, Nick Foles, Andy Dalton
TEs: Ladarius Green, Darren Fells, Jordan Reed, Eric Ebron

I feel like a good pickup would be Stevie to supplement my bench but I'm tempted to scoop another starting RB or maybe Mariota for later trade bait. Anyone?

I would absolutely grab Golden Tate or Stevie. Tate definitely has the higher upside of the two in my opinion and it remains to be seen how consistent Stevie will be all year. I would also consider dropping Crowell for Sankey but that's just my preference after getting burned by Crowell repeatedly last year.

Last two days he's made the following trades:

I can't with these loving people. He's playing me this week too and I just know that he's going to win and I'm never going to hear the end of it.

Honestly? I think Adams/Green is a way (e: Maybe not WAY better. But I'd prefer it) better return for Ingram than anything you offered him.

Johnson for Baldwin is poo poo for poo poo. Who cares? Even with an increase in workload, Chris Johnson is not an exciting player.

He's got 4 TEs now and his WRs still suck. if he wanted to trade Ingram I would've given him more than what I offered, but I'm not going to bid against myself. If I knew he was going to sell a low-end RB1 for an at best mid-WR2 and a 4th TE that's going to lose his job, I would've offered more, but that's besides the point now.

Can anyone with MyFantasyLeague commish experience tell me how to enable FAAB bidding on locked players? We had a snafu with waivers last night, and James Jones got picked up as a FA before Waivers cleared when he should not have been. He's since been dropped (by my direction) and is locked - i want people to be able to FAAB bid on him tonight, but he doesn't appear on the 'add player/free agent' lists.

MFL's configuration is loving byzantine.

There is a good chance Dez is not going to be fantasy relevant until the playoffs this year. It is a gamble to go for him and stash him (see also: Josh Gordon) and you run the risk of him being a decoy when he comes back.

I think the early "6-8 week" estimates are a bit off, we're probably looking at 12 weeks or so, which makes him back for one or two games and then the playoffs.

Again, best case scenario.

The depressing part of this is that at least while I was stashing Josh Gordon for all of last year I had Dez putting up 3-TD games and helping me win the championship.

Now I have a stashed, broken Dez and am rolling out the likes of E. Sanders and Edelman and hoping I can strike gold with Brian Quick off waivers.

Missed out on Sankey, picked up Coleman and Woodhead (dropping Melvin Gordon and Isiah Crowell), have a waiver claim in to pick up Tate tomorrow and drop Latavius Murray.

Good lord, no. AP is one of those players that you absolutely shouldn't trade away, ever, and giving up 2 RBs for 1 WR is probably going to leave you a bit lacking in both departments.

Pretty crazy, if Boldin is your worst WR.

Everyone's saying it's just a matter of time before Abdullah becomes the big man in Detroit (his week one performance seems to reinforce that). Barring an injury, that's a no-brainer.

Do you have anyone else you can give up? Second defense/TE maybe?
