I'm being offered Steve Smith Sr. in exchange of Jeremy Maclin. Does this sound like a good idea? I have enough depth to go a few weeks without using Steve.
Absolutely not. Maclin is 7th in the NFL in WR yardage. More TDs will come. And we don't really know the full extent of Smith's injury yet.

I'm taking some risks. Dropping Matt Jones for Duke Johnson, Jr. (after I spent like 400/1000 bucks on him. gently caress.) and dropping Carr (against Denver then a bye) for Blake Bortles (who will shine in what I like to call the Tampa Bay Tee Off). I also dropped Ebron now that Clay is going bananas. I'm almost off the Tevin Coleman train as well.

I really hope this doesn't backfire.

I like it. You're getting the best player and while Woodhead is a nice player, he's not week to week reliable and would rarely, if ever, start for your team.

e: I just swapped CJA/Eifert for Lamar Miller/Stevie as a Kelce owner. I've also got Hillman. I prefer the Miller side of the supremely disappointing RB swap and Eifert was wasted on my bench behind Kelce and with no W/R/T flex. Thoughts?

Randle doesn't have any real competition despite what some sperglords on here say. Take it and don't look back. Ellington has a talented rookie and formerly talented veteran to spread the work around to as production traps.

He desperately needs a WR this week due to injuries and byes, and the only decent guys available on the waiver wire are Hurns and Austin

My receivers in a .5 PPR league right now are out (Dez, SSS) possibly hurt (Stevie Johnson) and unreliable (Mike Evans, Donte Moncrief). Maybe I'm selling Moncrief short, but I definitely don't trust him this week since he's playing TNF.

My top(I think) WW options are Hankerson, Allen Hurns, Doug Baldwin, and Tavon Austin. Do I grab any of those? I'm leaning Hankerson but I don't know.

Team getting Foster wins for sure. Who knows how the Dolphins will look with the new HC. Ellington is in a 3-way timeshare, the Texans aren't going to get blown out every game by halftime and foster is still one of the best RBs in the league.

Jarvis side in PPR by a lot. Only 3 players in the NFL have more targets than him: Julio, DeAndre & Demaryius.

Non-PPR it probably just depends on what you think of Arian Foster's chances to put up decent points for the lolTexans, and whether you have good enough RBs to play there. Ellington looks like he'll be in a 3-way RBBC for the time being, so I wouldn't trust him to do anything to justify a starter spot.

Without knowing league size or PPR vs standard, how you listed them is how I'd order them. Hankerson and Hurns are definitely worth rostering in most leagues, and should be useful for you. Both of them are quality options against teams that do a good job covering the WR1, and both should give you decent consistent points weekly (especially in PPR) to wait out your other receivers getting their poo poo together.

0.5PPR. It seems to come down to how much I like Landry.

Which isn't a ton, but I'm STACKED at RB.

One thing that scares me about Landry is that while he has been a target machine, the Dolphins offense has been ridiculously unbalanced (4:1 pass to run ratio last game). This is pure speculation but if I had to wager a guess, I would expect them to be a tad more balanced going forward. Asking Ryan Tannehill to throw the ball 44 times a game isn't really working out so well so I don't see Landry sustaining that number of targets. Please take this with a grain of salt because I have no evidence to support that they will be more balanced and try to run more but its one of the most noticeable deficiencies in their offense.

That being said, if you are stacked at RB, you could do a LOT worse than picking up Landry as a WR2. I don't like the Ellington part of that deal because in my opinion, he has little to no value and is just there so you are getting 2 players in the deal which IN THEORY means its more balanced. Its not.

Question on who I should be prioritizing for waivers.

12-team, .5 PPR

QB - Brees
WR - A. Brown, Randall Cobb, Odell
TE - Gronk
RB - Freeman, Woodhead
Flex - Nelson Agholor (WR)
Bench - Chris Johnson (RB)
Bench - Tevin Coleman (Handcuff RB)
Bench - Michael Floyd (WR)
Bench - Derek Carr (QB)
2 empty roster spots due to recent trade + Kickah/DST

My team is obv dominant at WR, but I need to upgrade my FLEX spot and Woodhead is a little hit or miss in the second RB spot. Chris Johnson gonna probably become worthless real quickly.

Available on the waiver wires (which is done via AUCTION) are...Hurns, Snead, Aiken, Duke Johnson, Chris Thompson.

Right now I am thinking of picking up 1 each of a WR & RB, and prioritizing my WR bidding as Hurns, Snead, Aiken, and the RB bidding as Duke Johnson and then Thompson. With Bilal Powell as a back-up option (he'll pass through waivers I am guessing). Thoughts on that gameplan? Should I drop Carr and go for a third player? Brees has been shaky and I like Carr the best of any of the waiver QBs.

This all sounds reasonable to me too. Main thing is since op doesn't need Ellington, target a better WR straight up for Foster. Lots of teams should be hurting for startable RBs, and Foster should land at the very least a solid WR1 if you wait a week and he has a good or great game. If you trade him now, I'd still wager you could grab a WR putting up better numbers than Landry that doesn't have the same concern with passing game inefficiency and targets inevitably going down at least a bit.

I need an upgrade at WR2 with Stevie out and Golden Tate not doing much. I am trying to package something like Doug Martin/Tate or Lamar Miller/Tate ( I think I could sell higher on Dmart now than Miller). What could I realistically shoot for in terms of a WR2? I was thinking of targeting the following WR's but let me know if I am crazy for thinking I could get them or crazy for wanting them.

Donte Moncrief - The only bright spot on the Colts offense has looked good so far and is PRK#13 in 0.5PPR
Alshon Jefferey - His owner might be willing to sell low on him since he has been out for 3 games now. I realize this might be a stretch but the owner is also 1-3.

Anyone else I should target?

I’ve watched most of the Skins games this year and predicting when they’re going to feature Morris or Jones is going to be tough. Could be match ups, or how guys look on a particular day. A Post article this week mentioned that the RB coach (Randy Jordan) determines which back goes in on a series based on each guy looks that day. John Keim on ESPN just wrote that they expect Morris to get 65% of the carries…it’s all guessing to me.

I’m not sure Thompson is that big of a threat to make it a true 3-way RBBC — he had a 40+ yard run on a draw play that might make his Philly stats a little misleading, and he seems to be limited to 3rd downs rather than staying in for an entire series. Then again, Gruden & Co. seem to shift preferences on the fly so who knows what’ll happen next.

Anyway, I’d stash Jones away if I could — he’s as explosive as folks say — but I’m in a league that allows a lot of bench/IR spots so people hoard RBs like crazy. Someone drafted Jones late and he’s never hit the waiver wire.

Having said that, I don’t know much about Duke Johnson other than him taking more and more snaps away from Crowell, who I have and can’t figure out (except that he kinda sucks, I guess). So Johnson could very well be the better bet over Jones.

edit -- I realized I didn't answer your question directly re: Jones vs. Philly. None of the RBs looked that great until Morris woke up during the last drive, TBH. Wasn't Jones' day but he might tear up Atlanta.

How do I win with this team (0-4 in a 1-ppr league):

QB: Mariota (Had Romo)
RBs: E. Lacy, L. Murray
WRs: M. Evans, A. Boldin
TE: K. Rudolph
Flex: G. Bernard
D: Had the Panthers, which wasn't great until last week.
K: Streaming, been fine
Bench: A. Jeffery, VJax, D. McFadden, D. Baldwin, R. Matthews. A. Andrews

Last week I lost 'cause I started Evans instead of Jackson (lost by 10, Vjax put up 30, Evans put up 6). There's not a lot of guys available on the wire, and some of the folks are pretty active, so picking guys up weekly can be tough.

Edit: I have a history of sucking in this league, I went 3-10 in the regular season last year, but won out in the loser's playoff bracket.
