It is extremely probable that the "problem" with the Dallas line stats is a lack of Romo, and even then they still look good on film. Since you like FO, they hosted a "word of Muth" a few weeks ago that broke down the Dallas line and concluded "yeah they're still good".

Keeping in mind that I'm terrible at evaluating trades. My RBs now are Chris Ivory, LeSean McCoy, Charcandrick West and...Christine Michael. Yeah, I'm likely dropping Michael for the wire, but we only need to start one RB (we also have 2 flexes). My QB woes have been severe this year, trying to grab some upgrade off the wire and failing at it. People in this league hold 2 QBs all year, so it's not a great situation. I currently have Jay Cutler and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Someone mentioned they'd be willing to trade me Carson Palmer (his backup behind Tom Brady) for a RB, and that he'd be open to discuss McCoy or West. Good trade for me? Not worth considering? I don't need both of them. QBs on the wire are Alex Smith, Kaep, Carr (was leaning towards just grabbing Carr before this talk started) and Winston.

Stats can be construed many different ways which is why ultimately they aren't that good for a small sample size with a homogeneous population like 32 different football teams fielding 22 different players. Preconceived bias like "the Cowboys O-line was good in past years so this year must be an outlier" is accepting a null hypothesis without looking for a significance measurement. I watched every Cowboys game so far this year and it seems like their o-line just isn't playing top tier alongside their garbage fire at QB/RB. Sure you can blame it all on the skill position players but at the end of the day part of it's on the o-line too. They've played tough pass defense matchups in the Eagles and Patriots, but considering the Giant's run defense collapse last game and the underwhelming to bad defenses in Atlanta and New Orleans, I don't think their o-line should be entirely excused.

I was offered OBJ for my Amari Cooper... Am I stupid for hesitating? They are averaging the same (.5PPR), Cooper has had his bye and has an easier schedule (IMO), OBJ may or may not be dealing with a lingering hamstring issue, and Cooper has been good to me. But, on the other hand: OBJ. Tell me what to do! (Other receivers are Fitz, Allen, and Dez)

Dandy Kaiser posted:I mean, I probably wouldn't do it, but I don't necessarily think it's laughable. A low-end WR1 for a guy who could end up as QB1 isn't necessarily a deal-breaker if you're hurting for QB and otherwise set at WR. Keep in mind that Marshall was drafted at WR3 prices, so it's not unheard of that a Marshall owner could have like Jones, Allen/Fitz, Marshall or something but could be streaming QB after losing Romo, or could've waited on QB and be riding the Tannehill/Bradford disappointment train. Trading away a DEF is literally nothing. If someone wanted to trade for my D, I would always at least listen to what they're looking for and what I could get from them. Unless I had Denver, don't trade Denver. His starting QB is Kaep, his backup is Mariota. He's pissed off at both of them obviously. His backup WRs are T.Y. Hilton and Brandin Cooks. His backup defense that he always uses is the cards. He doesn't have INSANELY good backup WRs, but he is going to keep losing games with the crap available in our (16-team) league for QB options, so Rivers is enticing. He's 4-3, so barely missing playoffs at this point.

I had Foster so I am looking to replace him. McFadden and Blue are both on waivers. I am thinking McFadden has the best upside there. This is an FAAB league and I have $65 left. I also have to cover for Clay and Eagles D too, targeting Witten and Minny D. I am dropping Stafford, Clay, and Foster. I figure Eagles D than what is out there positionally, and Clay is about the same as Witten. So I will probably spend $3-5 there since I am 2-5 and really cannot afford another loss. Witten is the only top 12 TE on waivers. Giants D is out there too I am a little less worried there and I don't have to drop the Eagles D It's 3wr, 2rb, flex My RBs are currently Gore, Bernard, Duke, and Blount. WRS: Cobb, ODB, R. Matthews, Diggs, Tate I would think at the very least McFadden gives me a more reliable flex option than Duke and Blount. Just don't know what to spend.

Trade chat: non-PPR, 3WR league. People that matter on my team: RB: Peterson, Freeman, Duke Johnson, DeMarco Murray, Matt Jones WR: Decker, Boldin, Cobb, Garcon 2nd place team approached my 1st place team and says he would do Sanders for Murray. I'd also enjoy going after Hopkins from the 6th place team who has god awful starting RBs and no bench to speak of. But I'd probably have to give up Peterson or Freeman for that.

MarquisDeCarabas posted:I was offered OBJ for my Amari Cooper... Either of them is your WR3 with the way Fitz and Allen are playing and are likely to be relegated to flex if Dez comes back looking anything like his usual self. I don't think it's really worth making a trade just for what pretty much amounts to a lateral move. If you can get OBJ+ for Cooper and some bench fodder, that's something to consider. Tatsuta Age posted:His starting QB is Kaep, his backup is Mariota. He's pissed off at both of them obviously. Looking at his team and the size of the talent pool, I don't think it's something that he should necessarily say no to, but if I were him I'd want a better WR than LaFell. Who else do you have? If you're confident that he might actually engage in negotiations and counter an offer he didn't like, I would start with LaFell and Rivers and maybe he accepts it outright? Otherwise, I'd just hold LaFell yourself incase anything comes of him and I'd offer him a guy more firmly entrenched in the high-WR3 range.

ShaneB posted:Trade chat: Cobb/Sanders/Decker and Peterson/Freeman with a Garcon/DJD/Boldin flex platoon is pretty solid. I think you're probably better off like that than with Murray in your flex and having to start at least one of Boldin/Garcon every week. They're pretty even in points so far. If it's standard scoring, I'm not quite sure it's not anything more than a lateral move, but I'd probably like Sanders' floor more than Murray's. e: I'm assuming it's 3 WR and a flex?

So I have Charles Clay and Jordan Reed both on BYE next week. I am going to pick up Eric Ebron, but Darren McFadden and Alfred Blue are both on waivers. Should I get greedy and go after one of the running backs? I am relatively stacked at RB(Gurley, Martin, Lacy, Hill) and am projected to win by 20 points without an active TE.

Use the top waiver on one of the RBs (Probably McFadden?). Use a second waiver or wait for the TE to hit FA. I don't think it's super likely that people are waivering TE's at this point in the season especially if many of them carry 2 like you are.

Yeah I'd do that Sanders-Murray trade without thinking if I were you. Murray isn't as bad as he seems but the Eagles aren't good on offense and their focal point seems to change week to week. Sanders is going to get force fed the ball a lot in that offense, and you need WR help more than you do a backup RB

True, but I also don't imagine many waiver pickups being stronger than that at this point. At the very least, it denies a RB-starved rival of a legit flex option, and gives you some trade bait.

10 team 1PPR, deep benches and keepers. I have 2nd WW claim, should I pick up Blue/Polk/D Adams/Spiller? I am dropping the Steelers D (had them to cover the DEN bye), can drop my K for now to make room for another, then probably would be down to dropping A Morris. Also have Green and Gates, but looks like I am going to have to hold them both for this week, again. Leaning Blue and Adams, maybe Spiller if I can get all 3. Thanks!

If he wants to try to flip an RB for improvements elsewhere, he's already got plenty of ammo without having to waste a waiver add and a bench spot on some hot garbage re-tread. At this point, one of his RBs is riding pine ROS as is, having Blue or McFadden stapled to his bench instead/in addition doesn't help anything.

At 3-4, you're in a tough position. Personally, I still don't buy that Dez is going to be back and healthy for another few weeks at best. But your team does look pretty solid in general. I think I'd take the trade, based simply on the fact that I don't trust Dez's health and recovery with that type of injury. And being at the edge of playoff contention, on the outside looking in, a trade like this could be the difference between you making or missing the playoffs. Alshon is also fully capable of putting up the same huge games as a healthy Dez.

He's looked very good recently, his YPC is good, he's lost a few snaps to Bradshaw, but not many touches. His mediocre production over the last few weeks is mostly about game flow dictating passing. Its unlikely Ind will be way behind every week. I'd stream TEs or trade someone else. Don't sell low.

My team is 0-7. My league uses some dumb divisional structure, and has twelve regular season games with two rounds of two-week playoff matchups for the top four teams. All of this basically means that I am mathematically eliminated from playoffs this year already, but at least it's our first go at a keeper league so I can start planning for next season. What players do you guys like the most in 10 team .5 PPR standard when keeper value for next year is added in? Todd Gurley – 2nd round Amari Cooper – 3rd round Allen Robinson – 5th round Ameer Abdullah – 6th round Devonta Freeman – 7th round Jordy Nelson – 14th round e: I bolded the players I currently own. Others I would need to target in trades, but at this point I am happy to blow up my team and dangle players like OBJ and Lynch out there to secure a better position for next year.

Devonta Freeman and Jordy Nelson at those rounds are insane value, Allen Robinson in the 5th and great too. Todd might end up a top 5 pick for next year and i think Cooper is a late 2nd/early 3rd type player in PPR keepers.

I edited my post to reflect the ones I already own, but it seems like I probably can't go wrong with any of them (except maybe Abdullah). Knowing my friends, some of them are less likely than others to be willing to trade. In order of likelihood that I can actually get them, I'd rank it Robinson, Gurley, Cooper, Freeman. I'll probably wait a week or two in hopes that Gurley doesn't produce, then make my move as his owner plans for a playoff run. Teeter fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Oct 27, 2015 |

How do keepers typically work? This is our first year as a keeper league and for this season if you wanted to keep anybody from last year's roster it cost you a first round pick. This essentially meant that a lot of really good players went to teams in the back half of the first round. For example I think the 11th pick was used to keep Leveon Bell and the 12th pick kept Dez. I didn't have anybody on last year's team that I wanted to keep which meant my 9th overall selection was essentially last since everybody behind me kept somebody. I think I took Demarius or Aaron Rodgers and it ended up working out alright since I got Freeman in the 8th and have made some trades to pad out my team pretty well, but man at the time I was pretty unhappy with the format. Now you all talk about keeping people based on their draft position. Keeping Freeman for an 8th next season would be awesome, and also might influence my trade priorities, but I can't find anything about our keeper settings in the league rules. I don't know if the first round pick for this year's draft was because it's our first year as a keeper league or if it'll stay that way each year in the future. I've bugged the commish about a lot of weird league rules over the last couple days so I don't really want to ask him about this. Is there a standard for ESPN keeper leagues? Comments from all of you make our league sound really terrible for keepers.

Inspector 34 posted:Comments from all of you make our league sound really terrible for keepers. Your league is terrible for keepers. Typically you keep the player at either the round you drafted, or that round + some penalty, like a two or three round penalty (so someone drafted in the 8th could be kept for a 5th or 6th). In auction leagues, usually the cost you drafted them at is bumped up by a set amount or fraction. Either way, you get a reward for successfully finding hidden gems. In your league, there's no benefit to having scooped up Gurley or Freeman or Eifert with later picks, as they'll cost you a first rounder to keep anyway.

Keeper rules are incredibly inconsistent from league to league. This is our first year doing it as well, and our rules were copied from some source that a friend dug up so who knows. It's basically 2 keepers allowed, at draft round minus two. 3 year max. Waiver adds are 14th round keeper. We haven't made it to the actual keeper stage yet so I'll see how it plays out but so far I like the sounds of it since 1-2 rounds are ineligible meaning LeVeon, ABrown, Dez, OBJ, and many others are still up for grabs next year to make for an interesting draft. One thing that came up was whether a player's value is locked in at draft time. i.e. Jamaal Charles drafted first round, then dropped due to injury. He should still be a 1st round keeper, rather than a waiver add if you ask me. One friend disagreed because we hadn't actually clarified that to begin with, but the league convinced him to drop JC and let it go til next year considering that we don't have an IR slot and he was only dropped in the first place due to that assumption. This will need to be clarified next year.

So I'm currently starting Russell Wilson in one league and the guy with Palmer and Eli Manning has offered Palmer out there for a good RB. Now i'm fine with Russell atm, but it wouldn't hurt to get Palmers huge upside. It's also an IDP league 1 PPR 6 pptd QB/WR/WR/RB/RB/TE/WRT I currently have QB: Russell Wilson WR: Antonio Brown, John Brown, Alshon Jeffrey, Allen Hurns, Brandin Cooks, Eric Decker RB: Chris Ivory, Danny Woodhead, Dion Lewis, Charcandrick West TE: ERic Ebron, Martellus Bennett K: Boswell DEF: Eagles D: Bobby Wagner D: Ryan Shazier LB: Rolando McClain (dropping) S: Kam Chancellor Now my depth at WR is ridiculous since i went real WR heavy since it's 1 PPR. I've been extremely lucky with my RB's Ivory and Woodhead being real good and picking up Dion Lewis and Charcandrick West. Also gonna drop Mcclain for DMC if he clears waivers so not to waste waiver slot. He's currently starting Melvin Gordon and Charles Sims with Andre Ellington on the bench. Do you think i could go like West and Cooks for Palmer? or is that insulting? Would Woodhead and Cooks be better/worse? VietCampo fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Oct 28, 2015 |

Unless you only start 1 RB, you'd be dumb IMO to trade away any of Ivory, Woodhead, or Lewis.
