Tell them you can't change the method this year since it affects a bunch of teams that already had bye weeks but you're open to changing the rule for next year. Changing how you handle bye week teams mid-season is more unfair than continuing to do so.

So I just made this trade in a 0ppr yahoo league

Give:

Olsen

Get:
AP

Which will make my lineup look as such:
QB: Cam
RB: Freeman, AP
WR: 2 of Robinson/cooper/landry
TE: Eifert
Flx: L. Miller
Bnch: Maclin, Charmander, John Brown, Travis benjamin

I gave up a lot. But I'm thinking if I can turn a mix of my rb's/wr's into AB84 I can be amazing. Too late to ask if I hosed up, but did I gently caress up?

This. And also, the way you're doing it is the fairest way. If you just let bye weeks sit empty, some opponents would get free wins, and others would not, at random. The people randomly getting free wins have an unfair advantage for getting to the playoffs. I'd think any of those people would be opposed vs. the people who are playing the absentee on weeks where his best players are on bye. The fact the whole league is united against you proves at least some of them are idiots.

Who wins either of these deals?

Both of these are really good for you and smart to get out from under Steve Smith, who did this same thing last year. I'd take the second just because it's a good sell high on Barnidge.

Ehhhh you really undersold Brady and trading all that for a RB is a huge risk, he's already banged up and I really don't trust Min in general. Brady's consistency is a god send in fantasy.

I'd also keep Olsen over Eifert but TEs are always a toss up this year. Really Cam and Macklin are the ones you should've tried to get rid of and be fine with Freeman the points God and Charmander. You had two of the top players. :(

I think I would stay where you are for that trade. Roethlisberger should be back soon to improve Brown's value.

Also, looking for some feedback for this trade proposal. I simplified an earlier post, bolding the players I think I would want to trade. I can trade one of:
Doug Martin or TJ Yeldon
for
Demaryious Thomas or Amari Cooper

Does anyone think I am making the wrong choice, and that either Yeldon is more valuable than Martin or that DT is more valuable than Cooper? I would be trading my 4th RB for a new WR3 (we start 3WR and a flex, standard scoring).

I would absolutely trade Yeldon for Cooper, unless that cripples you at RB which it apparently does not. I wouldn't accept if I was the receiver of that trade, but that would be great for you.

After having too many RBs in the last couple weeks I turned CJ2K into Allen Robinson and Mark Ingram into Odell Beckham. Now I just got an offer of Antonio Brown for my Chris Ivory. I really don't need another WR and it would leave me very thin on my starting RBs bye weeks, but it's loving Antonio Brown.

My current team, no ppr.

WR: Randall Cobb, Allen Robinson, Odell Beckham Jr, Tavon Austin, Marvin Jones, Stevie Johnson (would have to drop one because ESPN won't let me have too many WRs)

RB: Chris Ivory, Le'Veon Bell, Devonta Freeman, Charlie Sims, Duke Johnson.

I'm looking at Sammy Watkins on the wire in my 10 team .5 ppr league. Should he be owned? Should he be owned by me?

my team:

qb: Carson Palmer
rb: Matt Forte, Todd Gurley, Frank Gore, Antonio Andrews, CJ Spiller
wr: Julio Jones, Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Jordan Matthews, Rishard Matthews, Brandon LaFell
te: Jordan Reed, Eric Ebron

I'll probably drop Ebron for him after this week if he's still there but rostering 7 WR's seems kinda dumb too and I kinda like that I can get him right now as a FA worry free.

Mariota @ Houston
Hoyer vs. Tennessee
Fitzmagic @ Oakland (I've got a waiver in for him.)
Winston @ Atlanta
McCown vs. Arizona
Foles vs. San Francisco

Well, in Whoville they say - that his tiny hands grew three sizes that day.

Possible trade in a 12 team 0.5 ppr league with 6 pt tds:

I give: Jarvis Landry & Giovani Bernard
I get: Lamar Miller & Martavis Bryant

I countered with Abdullah I place of Bernard but he seemed lukewarm to that. I have good WR depth but not much RB depth with only Ingram, Bernard and Abdullah (why I'd rather not give up Bernard). I'm leading the league and I'm in win now mode so I don't need to make a deal but I do like Millers upside with the new coaching staff and I think Bryant can be a viable flex option which is all I really need.

Thoughts?

Edit: ^ I'm in the same boat as you QB wise and I'm starting Fitzpatrick against a soft Oakland pass defence, but the Chicago defence is pretty terrible so Teddy might not be a terrible play either

I would have accepted that deal right away. Miami's bye week is over and Miller is probably going to outproduce Bernard ROS. Big Ben is back soon as well. IMO you are getting a big upgrade at RB for a minor downgrade at WR.

Would people agree that now is a good time to sell high on John Brown? His schedule gets much tougher for WRs after his bye next week.

I'm thinking of trading him for Yeldon due to his juicy playoff schedule and the rumblings he'll get more goal line work. With Foster out I have Ivory, L Murray, Mathews and that's about it but am set at WR so it'd fill a need.

Even though it would leave you with only two starting rbs for standard, you would have 3 #1s in ODB, Cobb, and Brown. You could easily turn around and trade Robinson for a rb that's as good as Ivory and be up Brown

Is Austin Sefarian Jenkins worth picking up at this point? Ive been rolling with Ladarius Green who looks likes hes going to start this week over a still injured Gates.

After this week Im thinking of trading Green for Jordan Reed (owner has expressed interest) and picking up Jenkins as insurance. Is Jenkins realistically a TE1 outside of his week 1 performance?

I just dont believe in Reed staying healthy and Green will be really limited when Gates comes back.

Week 9 I've got Graham & Hauschka on bye. Now, I'm in a position where I may be able to wait until Monday night (SD vs CHI) to see if I need to pick up a kicker and TE (Lambo & Bennett are still available.) Ebron is also available right now, so I'm wondering if I should just hedge my bets and drop Graham now for one of them? Nobody in my league seems to want Graham, been trying to trade him all season, and everyone else is pretty set on TEs (it's only an 8-team league.)

Anybody have any input on this? Dropping Graham for Bennett or another FA?

If everyone is set on TE, then you can wait as long as you need to pick up either one of Bennett or Ebron (Bennett being the preferred choice). As far as ROS goes, you probably want Graham rostered. It sounds like a matter of "which is the greater value, Kendall Wright as a bench WR or Graham as a bench TE/possibly starting TE".

Although apparently he might sit out the next game in order to get 2 weeks of rest in (bye next week) :argh:

The Arizona Republic's Kent Somers said "there are indications" the Cardinals will hold out John Brown (hamstrings) this week.
"We’re trying to get him well instead of aggravating him," coach Bruce Arians said. Brown has played through the injuries the last two weeks, but the Cardinals have a bye following their game against Cleveland and could take advantage of the opportunity to get him two weeks of rest. Brown's status will be updated following Thursday's practice. Oct 29 - 8:59 AM

Hopefully not since that's not really what I need with half my team on bye.

Thanks. I'm just worried Bennett will go off this weekend coming off the bye, and that one of these other dudes will snatch him up to handcuff me. Everyone knows I'm fed up with Jimmy, and a few of the guys are pretty savvy like that. And yeah, to answer the question of value: I have no idea haha.

Even though dropping Lacy is probably fine in an 8-teamer like hell am I carrying 3 TEs. Gates is the guy I would drop, so I guess the real question is do you think Reed is better than Gates for the rest of the season.
