Need to drop one of Peyton Manning and Ryan Tannehill...

Who do I keep for the rest of the seasons? (6 pt. throwing TD)

A tough choice, but I would vote to keep Tanny. They're both in situations now where they're relying more on rushing TDs. Manning will throw fewer interceptions most likely, but his arm may get more tired towards the end of the season the way it did last year.

So since it's a pretty close thing, I'd look at the remaining seasons.

Dolphins:
9 @Buf - - - - -
10 @Phi - - - - -
11 Dal - - - - -
12 @NYJ - - - - -
13 Bal - - - - -
14 NYG - - - - -
15 @SD - - - - -
16 Ind - - - - -
17 NE

Broncos:
9 @Ind - - - - -
10 KC - - - - -
11 @Chi - - - - -
12 NE - - - - -
13 @SD - - - - -
14 Oak - - - - -
15 @Pit - - - - -
16 Cin - - - - -
17 SD - - - - -

I think the dolphins have a few tough weeks in 11, 12, and 17, while the broncos have tough weeks in 12, 15, and 16? If your playoffs end in week 16 I'd lean Dolphins.

I just tried to add Ben Tate in a 12 team league, but was unable because to since Yahoo still lists him on the Steelers and not as a Free Agent. That's my most pathetic fantasy football moment in several years, if not ever.

In Yahoo you can dump bench players after their game has played and snag someone who hasn't played yet. Just dumped Reggie Bush for Ahmad Bradshaw just in case Halloween Week 8 Blood Bath isn't over yet. I'll drop Bradshaw for a normal waiver claim if his role isn't expanded tonight. If Bradshaw was taken I'd probably still pick up CAP or Tolbert just for the hell of it.

Ouch, Keenan Allen out with a "Kidney" issue.

Probably at least 2-3 weeks. Could be longer (or the whole season) depending on what specifically is wrong. Organ injuries are no joke.

Except when the Chargers want to give 20 touches to Melvin Gordon and he plods his way for a sub 3 yard average and 5 catches for about 1.4 yards a catch and the Chargers choke away the 4th quarter.

How do I recover from losing both Bell and Steve Smith in one day?

My schedule is insane, I avoid all the bad teams somehow

The only decent WR that I have is D. Thomas now, everyone else is pure garbage on my team

At RB I can hopefully make due, I have Peterson, D. Lewis and Gore, and I'm hoping to pick up D. Williams off the waiver wire (I'm third, so hopefully I get him but it's far from a done deal)

The worst is that someone in my league smells blood and offered me Ameer Abdullah and Jordan Matthews for D. Thomas, but there's no way I can accept that because Abdullah is garbage and Thomas is all I've got

My Jason Witten (I still have charles clay and delanie walker)

For his

Karlos Williams (Charmander has a bye I don't have anyone to fill in for)
Stevie Johnson (Keenan Allen has a kidney injury is going to be out for multi weeks, plus steve smith is done for the year for me)

This is what my team looks like now.

I had no idea Hightower was still trying to play. Holy crap. I got one or two really good starts out of him a few years back.

DOES NOT RESPECT THE RUN

BUT THEY WILL
Would you guys do any of these? What if they were packaged together? I know some of you hate these big trades but here's what I'm looking at:

Give: Kelce
Get: Eifert

Give: Latavius
Get: Ivory

Give: Brandon Marshall
Get: Martavis Bryant

The other owner wants a package deal 3 for 3 but I feel like it's kind of a wash until I give up Marshall. I know people are pretty high on Ivory around here and looking at his schedule I think he has a much easier time so that seems tempting. I'm not sure what this owner is trying to accomplish here since he has a pretty decent receiving corps already and I don't even know if he would start Marshall.

My relevant players:
RB: Freeman, Latavius, Yeldon
WR: Marshall, Landry, Dez, TY

His:
RB: Ivory, McFadden, Hill
WR: AB84, Cooks, Snead, Martavis, Diggs

Eh, I feel like there's still guys out there. Aside from the short-term vets that teams probably aren't going to want to turn to (Rice, SJax, Snowshoes, PT Cruiser), there's still a couple of younger folks that still could use a good look: Mike James, Kerwynn Williams etc.

Both of the questions below are for ROS upside, not bye-week fill-ins or anything:

Is Draughn worth dropping CMike? Both seem pretty worthless to me, but I could use some long-shot RB upside...

Is Vernon Davis worth dropping either Charles Clay or Heath Miller (who was a by week fill-in, but outplayed anything Clay has done for the last month)?

e; gently caress it, with keenan's injury, I think I'll just re-add ol' reliable Stevie for Cmike and forget the upside plays

There is no Draughn hype. It's SF. There is only sadness.
