That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

T Bowl posted:

Yeah, true, thanks.


I've only seen it happen once and it was for less points, but yeah RB fumbles a goal line touch or something and is -2 and then he is not given the ball the rest of the game.

You're still at +2 in that instance :)

Big Ben is a FA in one of my leagues, and I'm tempted to pick him up. I'm currently starting Carson Palmer, and have Ryan Tannehill on the bench(whom I would drop).

My concern is that Palmer's BYE is week 9, Roethlisberger is jogging now, but any setback and I'll have to dump the whole affair and stream that backup for a week.

So in a PPR league with no flex spot, I've got some good RB depth, and I was thinking about moving a guy to shore up my WR corps.

What's the caliber of WR I could target in exchange for a Forsett + Brandin Cooks package?

Would I be crazy to give up Jeffrey for Luck if I have Jordan Matthews, Keenan Allen, Kendall Wright, Vincent Jackson, and Terrence Williams? I'm thinking so.

I would definitely not do this. Robinson to Hopkins is nice, but Eifert >>> Miller, and Hill and Hyde are probably close to a wash, though I'd slightly prefer Hyde probably (Bengals have so many passing weapons and Gio is right there to take over Hill's work when Bengals are trailing or Hill is just disappointing).

Thanks. I've been trying so hard to shake up my team in this league and have had nobody even express interest in trading until now, so I was probably blinded a little bit just out of excitement over receiving an offer.

In an unrelated deal in the same league I have just been offered Brandin Cooks for my CJ Anderson. I still don't love Cooks despite the good day he had, but I feel like that's a mash. Anderson still hasn't shown anything all that encourages me.

The upside (having two qb1s to choose from) is better than the off chance that pittsburgh's star qb, under the best care the team can afford, suffers a setback. I say do it ( I also own Palmer and Big Ben).

First week of the year where the guy I'm playing against doesn't have one of the top 3 scores in the league.

So naturally I score my season-low in points and lose by 2 because the Giants D couldn't contain the shitshow of a 49ers offense at home. Fantasy football is literally the worst.

I made it to 4-1 despite losing Dez and JC. I ended up trading Dez for Jhill, so no help there either. Gurley broke out at exactly the right time. My studs from here on out: TT, Lewis, Gurley, Broncos D. Fantasy is weird as hell.

I'd do it but I'm not sure if there's a clear winner. Depends on a lot of things. Escaping the Broncos backfield to get into the Saints passing game isn't the most stellar of moves

Though, I'm down 6 with Keenan Allen to go, against his Melvin Gordon. So, feeling hopeful.

You'd be buying high on Martin obviously, but that's not necessarily a bad thing if you think he can even come close to matching his performances the past 2 games for the rest of the season. Landry is also pretty good. I'd do it.

In my main league the annual whining about us not having waivers has resumed, caused by me picking up Charmander the second I heard about Charles going down. We all knew the rules going in.

I'm not one to wish for long absences of great players, but I really do kind of need this guy to save me from the hellish RB situation I've got (Hill/Gordon with a very deep bench consisting of Christine Michael).

Shut up DUMMY
Glad about my trade of Jordan Matthews and Melvin Gordon for Brandin Cooks and DeMarco Murray so far... Murray 25 points (doubt Gordon gets that tonight) and Cooks with 21. Both their bests of the season, while Matthews got a lackluster 9 points.

I think I traded for both low and they will end with much higher points between the two.

Forever_Peace's Week 6 Trade Targets

QB
Matt Ryan and Aaron Rodgers. With the likes of Carr, Bort, McCown, Tyrod, and Mariota on nearly every waiver wire, streaming QBs is a fine proposition. You don't want to ever trade for a QB that's not a stud. These two are the only QBs with clear top-5 potential that had a few disappointing games, and should probably be good for a bounceback. If you can get them for cheap, I might consider it.

I personally wouldn't take the risk on Luck. Might as well send out feelers for Big Ben, but there isn't any news that would provide any sort of discount. If somebody has held him this long, they'll likely ask for too much.


WR
Julio Jones. I can't believe it's possible, but there's a chance some owners could be down on the #1 wideout right now after too down games. Their schedule is a cakewalk, I'm not overly convinced by the nagging injury (though it does make acquisition a risky proposition), and Julio is really loving good.

Randall Cobb. Great buy-low candidate.

Amari Cooper. If you're in a league where people don't actually watch a ton of the games, go back and check if the Cooper own has been playing him consistently. I think some people still aren't quite aware of just how amazing he looks on the field. If Cooper isn't starting for the owner, send in an offer.


Sell: VJax, Rishard Mathews, ARob. All have solid season scores that betray a very streaky boom-bust record. I personally think ARob will continue having a pretty good season (and VJax will have some good games), but I think it's possible that somebody hurting for bye-week WRs might overvalue them. Worth seeing what you can get.
Keep (it's for real): BMarsh, Hurns, Fitz, Edelman, Steve Smith


RB
Joseph Randle. The RB6 in Standard right now (mostly because of a huge week 3), but people treat him like a low RB2. He's getting consistent work behind a great line, has big touchdown upside, and has been running well, while everybody has nonetheless been jumping on the DMC/CMike hype trains. Might as well send in a buy-low.

Eddie Lacy. Posted a second dud yesterday, hasn't scored for 4 weeks, and is currently the RB30 in standard. But his rate and efficiency statstics are all awesome (3rd in success rate, 9th in DVOA etc.), and on film he still looks allergic to tackles. Now's the time to buy low.

Abdullah. Not because I think he'll suddenly break out, but because I think you could probably get him for a song right now. Offer a Travis Benjamin or something just to see if you can land him in ppr. I think the problem here is Stafford and the offensive line, which have the potential to get their poo poo together still.

Sell: David Johnson, Gore, Blount.
Keep (it's for real): Gurley, Ivory, Ingram, Lewis, Rawls.


TE
I guess you could send in a buy-low on Kelce, but I'd rather just nab Barnidge or Clay from the WW.

The guy who rejected my Joseph Randle Drew Brees for Chris Ivory trade is going to lose by 6 after Stafford and Andre Williams poo poo the bed. He probably still made the right call to reject but I gain satisfaction from this.

My Matthew Stafford, Randall Cobb, Ronnie Hillman, Kendall Wright, Alfred Morris, and Brandon McManus have combined for a total score of 39.12 points so far. Yes, my number one scorer so far this week is my kicker. He's the only player with a double digit score.

I still have Antonio Brown and Pittsburgh D/ST going tonight, but my opponent has 136.16 points. Holy poo poo what an awful week. I can't even be mad about it. I got trounced, nothing I could have done differently. I just have to laugh, say, "Holy poo poo", and move on.

Is it time to completely give up on CJ Spiller? The Saints fell behind huge and STILL didn't want to feature him. I had some hope after he had the 80 yard OT score the previous week, but are the Saints satisfied paying him as a free agent and then never giving him the ball?

I have a team in a startup dynasty IDP league starting Eli Manning, Gurley, Yeldon, Marcel fuckin' Reece, Knile Davis (yes, as a starter), Marquess Wilson, Chris Conley and Garrett Celek. The baddest of the Bad News Bears teams.

I'm 4-1 in this league being carried by Marcus Peters, Stephon Gilmore, Fletcher Cox, Ryan Shazier (get healthy please :() and Preston Brown, to name a few. God I love IDP.

Right now it looks like David Johnson will be the goal line back and act as a boom/bust 3/20/1 average week, Chris Johnson is the main back and Ellington will be a pass catcher and change-of-pace.

Personally I want no part of that backfield.

Chris Johnson seems pretty fine and safe right now, at least. I took a flier on him in a couple dynasty leagues and am quite pleased with the outcome so far :)
