METAL DISCHARGE
I have Carr currently with Big Ben dead, and I don't like his match up against the Broncos. Cutler, Foles, Bradford, Tannehill (on a bye this week) and BORT are the best looking waiver QBs, worth it to drop Carr for one of them? Leaning Cutler (ugh), especially when Jeffrey coming back.

Someone dropped CJ Anderson in my big money league. My current RB stable is:

Freeman, Bernard, Forsett, Melvin Gordon, CJ Spiller, Andre Ellington

Are any of those guys worth dropping to pick him up?

I would keep the Panthers unless I'm giving up something significant. Seattle, Philadelphia, and Indianapolis all have pretty bad offensive lines that look primed to give up a healthy number of sacks.

Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Jimmy T.
I need a better WR2 since Golden Tate is really not cutting it and the Lions look terrible. I also have Stevie Johnson, but he is injured now and who knows how long he will be out. I would like to try and sell high on Doug Martin, packaging him with Tate for a better WR but am wondering who to target. Do you think Moncrief continues his production the rest of the year? He looks like the only bright spot in the Indy offense and they should be passing a lot. Who else might I be able to target with that package? This is Half PPR.

Guy wants my Rashad Jennings. who is worth trading for him out of these, and what's reasonable to ask?

Him: Jarvis Landry, Jordan Matthews, Zach Ertz, Randall Cobb, Nelson Agholor, Terrance Williams, and a bunch of other useless crap.

My current guys in these spots are Steve Smith Sr (hurt), Larry Fitzgerald, Ebron (hurt), Martavis Bryant, Stevie Johnson (hurt), Dez (hurt), and Julius Thomas (hurt).

To sign them is my real test

With full no movement clause
I picked them up. Someone dropped Baltimore and I thought about it for a minute, but the Giants D has actually looked *gasp* passable the last few games and the 49ers are a trainwreck. I know that means that Hyde is going to run for 200 yards, but hopefully there's a few Kaep INTs to even it out. If they got me 10 points, I'd be happy.

Apparently Ahmad Bradshaw was visiting the Colts on Monday. Even if he gets picked up, I'm having trouble seeing him being a startable RB though - splitting carries behind Gore, maybe a small passing role. Can anyone give me reason to believe he's worth an add in front of Tavon Austin or the like?

He's not. He only gains relevance if Gore gets hurt. They're thinking he could be the 3rd down passing back.

Anyone who is chomping at the bit to acquire Rashad Jennings after that freak outing must be at least slightly unhinged, so start with Cobb, Jordan Matthews and stop with Landry. You definitely need to make a move for another WR, though, as Bryant could be a shitshow this week.

TE's have been feasting against OAK's defense in a pattern that goes back to last season. Protip: when you have a tough choice between two players, compare the opponent by (in ESPN) clicking the name of the opposing defense (the OPP column) to the right of their name. It will give you a number which tells you how that position scores against that defense, above or below the league average. OAK last week was like +8 and is now at +12. (Total)TE's have scored against OAK: 26.9, 24.6, 19.5, 19.8 points in .5ppr. KC is a tougher defense against TEs, below average at -2.8. Graham is not much better at -2.4, so I would go with the #1 target on the more passing-oriented offense.

Alternatively, it's Owen Daniels Burgertime.

I've been offered Lamar Miller and Heath Miller for my CJ Anderson and Tyler Eifert after I expressed interest in acquiring Lamar. Standard scoring in a 12 team league that is notoriously difficult to trade in.

I think on a pure talent basis I lose this deal. But I've got Kelce at TE and I can't flex a TE so Eifert has been wasting away on my bench (he went undrafted and I scooped off the waiver wire after Week 1 in the hopes of trading him to a TE needy team). I also need to grab a QB to cover Cam's bye and I don't have an obvious drop right now (it'd be Matt Jones or Stevie I guess), so I'd just drop Heath Miller right away.

I also own Ronnie Hillman and am currently planning on starting him this week over CJA. Is this a decent use of Eifert as a trade chip? I feel like I should be able to do better but that it's quite possible I never actually find a trade, because most of the league is trade/risk averse. I think I definitely prefer Miller's situation to Anderson's.

Current roster:

QB: Cam
RB: CJA, Latavius, Yeldon, Hillman, Matt Jones
WR: OBJ, Cooks, Kendall Wright, Stevie, Martavis
TE: Kelce, Eifert

looking to trade with this guy, he's dead at WR and is asking for one from somebody. this is standard scoring, no ppr

given his situation I'm thinking of proposing Landry for Ivory or Forte straight up, I just don't want to kill my own WR depth.. but on the other hand gently caress the dolphins

To be fair, Bradshaw was a top 15 back with Trent Richardson getting like a dozen touches a game. Not worth picking up unless you can drop complete trash for him, but worth keeping an eye on if he shows flashes of getting some serious work despite Gore.

You're not going to get Forte but it's worth the shot. You can drop Blue and Dunbar and pick up more WR depth if releasing Landry makes you uneasy, but I think Landry for Ivory is a suitable offer if not a lowball coming from you.

He's averaging ~13pts (half PPR) per game. His floor has been somewhere around five points. He averages five targets per game. St. Louis aren't great. So he's sort of exactly what you'd think, a middling guy capable of catching fire on a good day.

You've got to ask yourself what your other options are and if you'd ever feel comfortable starting him over them. I've got Mike Evans chilling on my bench because he can catch fire eventually and gets loads of targets but I don't trust him (or Tampa Bay/Winston) yet so I don't play him. That's what it comes down to at the end of the day.

It seems like every year for the past few, Austin has always been one of those "will he keep it up for the whole season?" and so far I don't think he has proven to be anything reliable. He'll have a few good games but at least in my opinion he is one of the most prominent examples of a "boom or bust" player.

Normally I would agree, but he just lost Dunbar and is sitting on LeSean too, so he's really hurting. He turned down Cobb and Matthews, and I don't really want Landry. He offered T. Williams, but we'll see.

DOES NOT RESPECT THE RUN

BUT THEY WILL
Thinking about proposing the following trade:

Give: Yeldon, Alfred Morris
Get: Maclin

My RB/WR situation: Latavius Murray, Devonta Freeman, TJ Yeldon, Alfred Morris, CJ Spiller, Thomas Rawls, Golden Tate, Allen Hurns, Jarvis Landry, Dez
His RB/WRs: Adrian Peterson, Ellington, D.Johnson, Knile Davis, AJ Green, Jeremy Maclin, Julian Edelman, Charles Johnson, Doug Baldwin

So He definitely needs help at RB and I really need to beef up my WRs. Would I be losing too much depth? Thinking I could rotate Tate/Hurns/Spiller at Flex, but I'd really have to hope and pray that Murray and Freeman continue to be healthy and productive.

I don't think it's a good idea. Steve will do nothing for you while he's injured, and he's old so who knows how fast he bounces back. Remember he has a habit of being a shooting star during the season and then he explodes but in a bad way. I think I would prefer holding onto Maclin for injury and bye depth. This trade is equitable but it helps him much more than it does you in the short term.
