Famous Jameis seems to love him some VJax and Louis Murphy, of course Evans was a decoy last week so, I don't know. You're right too much thinking. Injury prone being stupid in one thing, walking through life like Tom Hanks every time something blows up in Saving Private Ryan is something else entirely

After trusting my gut and starting Matt Jones it seems I'm on track to lose my third match in a row. At what point does it become impossible to make it to playoffs?

It is wildly unpopular with a few players but in the league I run I don't have playoffs, it's just your final record.

Honestly, it's less of carrying a backup TE and more of 'does Jordan Cameron have more value/trade value than Agholor?' I'll pick up Cameron if I can potentially trade him or package him in a deal to a TE-needy team, while depriving my opponents of him in the meantime.

Badly Jester posted:Reid, Witten, Gates and Ebron are available and I'm thinking of dropping Ertz for one of theme (my starting TE is currently Bennett). Who'd be my best option? Is that Jordan Reed or is Andy Reid somehow TE eligible in your league. Jordan Reed should not be on anyone's wire. He has proven to be a huge part of the Washington offense. 6 catches in each game so far, almost broke 100 yards, and was under thrown on a sure touchdown and ignored, wide open on a second. His floor is incredibly high and should be starting over every TE except Gronk, Kelce and maybe Graham/Olsen. Ride him until the wheels fall off. For your second question, it depends on your record going into that week but I generally wouldn't sweat collecting a bunch of mediocre wire pick ups and potentially dropping quality players in order to probably still lose.

So I have to choose between a maybe-nursing-an-injury Lamar Miller against a stout Buffalo front seven, or a back-from-an-injury and might-be-mixed-into-the-gameplan-more CJ Spiller against a stout Carolina front seven. How do I make lemonade out of these real lovely lemons? My running back depth is poor because I had to roster DeAngelo Williams while waiting for Le'Veon to come back (not complaining, DeAngelo loving killed it) so now I have both Le'Veon and DeAngelo rostered while I wait for someone more interesting/useful than the Williams handcuff to hit the waiver wire. The best FA pickup out there right now would be...Charles Sims? Khiry Robinson? So for this week I have to decide between Miller or Spiller and while that's a cool rhyme I have a feeling it's going to quickly become a weak spot on my team.

I personally think the idea of just going by final record for the title is pretty loving cool. I like all of the fantasy games feeling big. I'm in a 12 team league and we only have 4 make the playoffs, so that seems to do the trick. A buddy of mine is in a 10 teamer that used to have 8 make the loving playoffs and they just recently cut it down to 6.

I traded Matt Jones for Amari Cooper, who I then traded for Mike Evans. I'm feeling pretty good about that, so hopefully Evans isn't a decoy again this week vs. Houston.

Do you guys think it's worth picking up Michael Floyd (ARI). He's sitting on the FA roster and has likely been avoided due to his injury at the start of the season. I feel like he might be getting back into good form this weekend and I could probably pick him up for extra WR depth if he is going to be getting more play time?? Thx

He might see an uptick in snaps and routes, but he is firmly behind Fitz and John Brown for targets. If you have someone to drop for him or are hurting for WR depth, otherwise i wouldn't grab him. There's probably better options on the waiver. VietCampo fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Sep 25, 2015 |

Maybe Victor Cruz instead? - I have a few extra RBs I have been looking to replace with some more WR depth coming into my first Bye week for NE (Edelman). I don't really have anyone to fill in WR backup slots yet and supposedly Cruz should be returning next week? My current WR depth (std scoring) is: Edelman, Antonio Brown, E. Sanders, and on the bench just Devin Funchess who hasn't done much of anything yet.

I guess he's available because I'm in an 8-man league and no one wants to bet on a Washington player? As for the second part: that's what I thought as well, especially because the wire is pretty thin in terms of RB/WRs. I will in all likelihood go into week 5 with 3-1 (or even 4-0). Thanks for the advice!

For the people who say not to use turbo... do you not use it AT ALL? It seems like you absolutely have to use it or you will be burned every time by your opponent sprinting past you. Can anyone expand on when to turbo and when not to? Edit: Wrong thread

If you're down by more than 20 or winning I would just save it for next week.

I swear I seem to have the most horrible luck with streaming defenses. First Houston, then Philly, this week it's New England at Jacksonville. Watch this be the week where the Jags put up 40 points. YOU'RE WELCOME, Yeldon owners.

Would Cooks and Martavis Bryant be too much to give up for DeAndre Hopkins? Standard scoring. I'm worried about Cooks and I've probably got the deepest team in our league, so I'm trying to turn some depth into higher end talent. 12 teams. My current roster: QB: Cam Newton RB: CJA, Latavius Murray, TJ Yeldon, Matt Jones, Ronnie Hillman WR: OBJ, Cooks, Stevie, Martavis, Kendall Wright TE: Kelce, Eifert Trying to find a deal to move Eifert too. I could offer Cooks/Eifert instead? I kind of feel like the intrigue of Bryant's return gives him added value that people like. The Hopkins owner has Jordan Reed and lost Dez, so I suspect he would prefer a WR.

Cutler out, Alshon out, Royal questionable. I'm willing to wait through a few quarters of clownball in order to get a nice look at Langford for next year once the game is good as over. Good luck kid.

9.6 points out of Reed last night was somewhat disappointing, but I still feel it's a lot better than what we're going to see out of Martellus Bennett and that abomination of a Bears team that will be at Seattle this Sunday.

As terrible as Jimmy Clausen is he'll probably see a lot of looks because Clausen sucks at throwing deep. They'll still get shredded by Seattle's defense, though.

Just heard Brees is going to be out. Is it worth keeping him on bench? I picked up Dalton, and its a 12 team league so waiver isn't really stacked, but from what I saw Brees seems out of it and doesn't sound too confident in himself even if he does rehab it for a week or two... Second, are we still holding on to Dez because we are masochists or has the ship sailed? (I want to learn from Josh Gordon last year but it's a painful drop...)

I would be encouraged by Reed, he saw a TON of targets from Cousins and hopefully Cousins will get a little better on his throws but the volume is there. You can't really hope for much else in a late round TE.
