Garbage take of the day: Chris Hogan May Be The Next Great Patriots’ Receiver. "Patriots clearly have such a talented supporting cast that it almost makes it difficult for Garoppolo to lose," writes FantasyPros correspondent Tony S. More facts follow. "One of the members of that cast is newly acquired wide receiver, Chris Hogan". He continues, panting heavily now. "Hogan caught three receptions for 60 yards and scored a touchdown. He clearly has the makings of a potentially great player". The excitement increases. "Patriots’ head coach Bill Belichick immediately recognized his talent and snatched him off the free agent market without hesitation." Immediately, snatched, and without hesitation: his words are breathless with anticipation. He culminates, spilling his hot, hot takes all over the keyboard. "Hogan could easily become the next Julian Edelman." The comment section is empty.

Silly Burrito posted:Thanks. Hurns and Henry are on my waiver wire and I'm flipping between who to try to pick up when they clear on Sunday. Thought Hurns but might lean towards Henry for the long term gain. Hurns should be owned in most leagues, and I like him quite a bit better than Henry. Even when he has his inevitable regression from strong WR2 last year, he should still be a solid WR3 at worst.

Are the Pats required to update an injury report on Gronk by any time today? I need to put in a waiver bid before tomorrow if I'm going to get a backup, but because he's currently Q and not OUT I can't move him to IR in order to grab a replacement. It's looking like I can either drop Funchess to grab a replacement TE now or wait and see if Gronk sits out and be stuck with someone from Monday night's game, either Celek or Miller.

Dump Funchess, you are not losing anything by doing so. If you wind up not needing another TE, you can dump your just-grabbed TE for whoever this thread is drooling over on Tuesday.

Who actually makes the play calls, the OC or the head coach? I always see the head coach holding the playbook and poo poo on the sidelines so I thought the OC just sort of assisted or recommended plays? Or is it different for every team?

With the Bills, Rex has ALWAYS been a defense-first type, so I would bet heavily that Greg Roman was the biggest factor in their offensive planning before his scapegoating. Rex Ryan literally knows nothing about the offensive side of football. Remember when he would tinker with wildcat bullshit with the Jets and it was laughable every time? If he's making offensive playcalls, that might be even worse than the new guy!

How can you possibly hire a head coach that doesn't understand both sides of the game of football? (Or, ok, all three, if you count special teams as separate.) I guess the answer is "this is a big part of why the Bills suck."

They can still be a good head coach running one side of the game. Rex is overrated as a defense guy and a terrible offense guy that had a good OC that he sacrificed to keep his position as GM and HC. Zimmer in Minnesota is a solid coach that runs his defense, Chip Kelley loves to run an offense just don't let him GM, Kubiak runs his offense and leaves his defense to the coordinator. Basically it all depends on the coach not being a moron and having decent assistants. edit: I'm like 90% sure this is how these coaches operate. Please don't burn me like a steak.

Rex replaced Doug Marrone, who was a disaster himself, and the GM Doug Whaley, who took EJ Manuel in the first round, is still there making decisions and will likely get canned this year too.

Need some input on a trade offer. 12 team PPR league, I offered Gio and DeVante Parker for Snead and Crowell and have been countered with Gio/Sanders for Snead/Crowell. Thoughts? Current roster: Palmer OBJ Landry Ingram Woodhead Dwayne Allen Cobb Bench is Gio, Blount, CMike, Sanders, Parker. Basically it comes down to whether this talk about feeding Crowell is legit. It feels a little early to dump Gio so I'm not sure which direction to go. If I accept this then I'll probably look to trade Cobb for an RB2.

Standard ESPN (0 PPR) If it helps, my lineup is: RB Todd Gurley Latavius Murray Spencer Ware Jamaal Charles Matt Jones Isiah Crowell WR Allen Robinson Jordan Matthews TY Hilton Torrey Smith Willie Snead

I'm in a 0.5 PPR league with only 5 bench spots. Starting RBs are David Johnson and Spencer Ware and my bench is Jonathan Stewart, Arian Foster, Jordan Matthews, Frank Gore, and Corey Coleman. Would you drop any of them for Charles Sims? I'd rather have Sims than Coleman but with 3/5 bench spots being RBs makes me lean towards standing pat

Ware will just tie up another spot on your bench ones Charles is back. Hopefully Charles will be out week 3 as well and the Charles owner will be more inclined to give you good value.

I like the idea of moving Cobb for an RB2 if you make this trade though. Cobb's reputation could net you a solid return if you can find the right match with another owner. You can probably find another WR3 off the wire mid-season so bolstering your RB depth using Cobb could work out well. I like the thinking behind your moves but given the players involved, I can't offer a definitive opinion as to which will wind up benefiting you the most considering the chaotic nature of this game. But from your write-up, I'd say you have a good feel for your team, what your needs are, and how to extract value from outside of your roster. I guess the best advice is just to trust your instincts.

Tiptoes posted:Honestly this situation is like a brain teaser I can't quite figure out. I like making a play for Snead/Crowell as Snead is the best player in the deal even if it's Gio/Sanders you're giving up. Not that you're hurting at WR right now, but he honestly could be a high-end WR2 going forward potentially on par with any of your options after OBJ. Crowell I'm less excited about. Your RB depth after your starters then becomes C-Mike (who is largely a hold until Rawls hurts his ankle again), and two game script/TD-dependent backs in Blount and Crowell. I don't believe Hue is lying when he says he wants to feed Crowell as I do believe he is the basis for their run game currently but I don't think that will lead to 20 touch games for him. The Browns are still going to have a lot of negative game scripts that don't favor using Crowell. Could be rough to predict his good games even if he's solid depth on the bench. Thanks - this is pretty much where I'm at too. Maybe I'll explore a Cobb deal first before committing to anything, because my RB depth would really have me concerned.

Hopefully Charles will be out week 3 as well and the Charles owner will be more inclined to give you good value. This is essentially what I've been planning to do for a WR upgrade, as the Charles owner is playing me this week. Am I right in thinking that I should essentially be looking to package Ware with one of my WR for an upgrade? The assumption being that with Charles back / soon to be back, Ware will have significantly reduced value. My biggest issue is I don't really know enough about WRs to figure out the right value for the trade -- it's a 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 flex league, and when they're not on byes, an RB would be taking the flex. I've got: Maclin, Sanu, Lockett, Wallace, and Williams. He's got Marshall, Landry, Diggs, Garcon, and Boldin. If the player I'm trading for doesn't upgrade one of my T2 WRs, it's not really worth doing, as I'd just be playing 2 per week. I'd been thinking about trying to package him with Lockett or Wallace for Landry, but it's a 0 PPR league so I'm not even sure if that would be worth it. Thoughts? My other option (in addition?) would be to target Dez, assuming he underperforms again this weekend. I'm assuming I'll win and the Dez owner will lose; if the theory is that Dez will suck until Romo comes back because Dak doesn't have the arm, I can (probably) wait for a quality WR improvement until then, and his team is really bad if Dez is not performing. My WR core is not very good or deep. I guess my last option would be to try to trade one of Elliott/CJA/Bell, but that seems like it might not be worth it, as I'd need back a decent RB2 and a significant WR upgrade. Not even sure who I'd target. Thoughts? I feel like actively trying to trade is probably the right thing, especially after losing Allen, but I'm not sure what to target, and what to be willing to part with. (I've also got Rivers for QB which could be upgraded -- I could push for a swap with Ben to try to offset AB when I play the team with him..; running Panthers D, walker as TE, and McManus as my K. Guy with Snead has him benched -- I could try to trade one of my top RBs for Snead + one of Langford / Rashad?
