In a position where I want to hold onto Carolina's Defense over their bye week, but I also don't have anyone else on my team that seems worth dropping (don't want to give a freebee to the competition).

Q: Ryan, Palmer
W: Cooper, Evans, Maclin, SSS, Wright
R: AP, Foster, Forsett, Freeman
T: Eifert, JT
K: Tucker
D: Carolina

My matchup will be played out before SNF this week, so I'm thinking about rolling w/ no D through the late games, and then picking up either NYG (though someone will likely pick them up tonight to stream), SD, PIT or SF (SNF/MNF teams) if I'm behind at that point. Is that crazy? I'd lose out on the opportunity to get one of the better D's currently available (Cincinnati and NYG are the best, then it's pretty barren), but that would keep Carolina (or whoever else I'd drop) locked until waivers clear next week.


In another league I'm pretty thin at WR. Are any of these potential drops worth holding onto?
Drop (any of): Golden Tate, Terrance Williams, Marvin Jones
Add (any of): Hankerson, Aiken, Crabtree, Tavon Austin, Snead, Ginn?

If JT is Julius Thomas then I would say he's droppable.

Am I crazy for starting Ronnie Hillman against Oak this week? I'm screwed on RB (though we only need to start one), with McCoy and Ivory out for various reasons, and only Alfred Morris left besides Hillman, and Kubiak saying Hillman has the "hot hand" after last week is making me say, "Oh gently caress it, why not?"

Need help. Need to pick a streaming defense for this week, and pick up a TE who can play (since Julius Thomas and Ebron are both hurt now).

Defense options:



TE options:



I'm thinking Chiefs or Bucs for defense, but I dunno for TE. Maybe Mercedes Lewis? Help please.

So my league is screwy and LeSean McCoy is sitting out there for free pick up this morning. I'm about to drop Tyrod Taylor for him (I've got Brady as my main QB, who's back from his bye), that is smart, right? I know he's out right now but he should be back next week. I also have Karlos Williams right now but I want to hang on to him in case he plays this week.

Managed to nab Barnidge this morning. With Jordan Reed out and my only other option being Witten, I'm hoping this will help me out. I lost my winning streak and I'm playing the only guy in our league that's 4-0, so I need a win.

I cant decide.. I have Bell/K Williams/Randle/Gio on my roster so I should grab someone. Randle's making a fool of himself with the coaches (both other Cowboy backs are FAs as well) and K Williams might be concussed. Thoughts?

Hillman has the highest upside, followed by CJ then Blount.

I'm nervous about this as well, have a choice between Taylor and Mariota and I'm thinking Taylor is probably the better option.

Also someone has dropped Roethlisburger, he worth stashing on a bench or is he gonna be gone too long? I have Antonio Brown, and my RB and WR corps are pretty good so I'm thinking he would be a good grab. Waiver wire is thin and this league is pretty trade averse.

I think he's worth a stash, it all depends on who's being dropped for him.

Not at all. He's got a lot more burst than CJA right now and showed it last week. In the only league where I own them, I'm starting both. Last week they combined for 30 ppg in 1ppr. If I can average 15 out of two RBs (where WRs are my strength), I'm fine with that.

Boy am I glad that I saved my #1 waiver priority, guy in my league just dropped Ellington so I'm gonna scoop him up for sure. How can I pass that up?

My RB corp should be amazing in a week or two once they come off injury fully and lacy gets back to his old ways. Lacy, Foster and Ellington. Also have luck now who I think will start doing better. Get in :banjo:

Mentioned it earlier, but:

Giants, Chiefs, Bucs in that order.

Your TE situation is a shitshow. I'd go with highest projected and hold my nose. Ever better, try to swing a trade, there is plenty of time to get one done. Look for the Gronk owner (who has a spare TE2 that he used last week) or any owner with two startable TEs.

I've got a trade out to a guy who's pretty much given up on the season already (he traded me Rivers for my Falcons DST and then didn't start them last week, lol). I'm sending Stevie Johnson and Ebron for Gates. We'll see.

Gonna be dropping Coby Fleener for him since it looks like Allen is coming back. Fleener was a bye week cover for Delanie Walker. This means I'd be have 3 qbs (Mariota, Taylor and Ben.) Love to trade one but the league is real stingy.

Does anyone think starting Mariota is a good idea against Buffalo? This has to be Buffalo's bounce back game where they get 10 sacks and just murder the rookie right? And mariota has played against 3 very poor defenses so far.

The Browns d is not poor and Mariota will probably do similar production against the bills if he doesn't die

Things to note:
-Titans have no run d so buffalo will do that all game
-Jason McCourty is back so the Titans will have 2 good cbs

Looking for a TE to use on Witten's bye week

I currently have Heath Miller in that role, I picked him when Witten might have been injured.

I don't like Miller as an option anymore

I can pick up Gary Barnidge or Richard Rodgers as Free Agents right now. Eric Ebron is on the wire and might be injured. Ladarius Green is available but I don't think he'll be an option anymore

What to do?

Barnidge plays Denver week 6 and Rodgers plays San Diego

I'm happy to play Witten the rest of the season

Negotiating this deal. I'm the Brees/Randle owner currently. I'm about to offer his choice of either Palmer/Randle for the same two or Brees/Randle for just Ivory. Still think both trades end up helping my team. I'd like to get away from the Dallas backfield regardless of what I think of C-Mike hype and I hate having back up quarterbacks that are too good to drop. Do you guys still like those offers?

My other receivers are Julio and Maclin, my other RBs are ADP and Arian. Or do we think Freeman will continue producing at high enough level that selling him is a bad idea?

Both of those offers are robbing your opponent blind. You should not think twice about selling Freeman if you can get anywhere close to that kind of return.
