It's shady to circumvent league procedures with no communication to the league. I think that's the main point. The trade itself is whatever, it's more that the commish didn't do it above board.

I don't think this is one of those "quit your league" "get a new commish" situations, but I think he's in the right for calling out the commish and bringing it to his leagues' attention to prevent further, and possibly worse, abuses.

Yeah I'm not going to quit this league. I'm defending champ and I want to win again. He pulled a really bad trade last year and I still beat him. I want to do that again. I just wanted to see if this stunt was as bad as I thought it was. I will be bringing it to everyone's attention though.

Tearing my hair out about who to start this week -- it's my league's rivalry week and I'm up against my husband. Can't lose. Feel like I have some good options but having trouble seeing clearly which players have the best upsides:

WR:
Dez Bryant
Tajae Sharpe
Jeremy Maclin
Nelson Agholor
Jamison Crowder
Brandon Marshall

Definitely starting Dez, but not sure about the other 2 (or 3, not sure if I wanna use a RB in my flex position). Crowder I just snagged this morning and he's going against the garbage Giants DEF. Agholor I picked up with Wentz last week, and he COULD be amazing but so far he's missed a lot of passes. Sharpe hasn't been great to me so far but is slated to do well against Oakland this week. Maclin -- idk. And Marshall may not know if he's playing til right before the game.

RB:
Latavius Murray
Frank Gore
CMike
Dwayne Washington

Murray is my only sure bet. Gore has been meh, and CMike is still getting his feet wet. I dropped Abdullah this morning and luckily had drafted Washington in the last round as a "just in case", so I've got him but not sure how great the potential is.

And... just for fun, what are everyone's thoughts on Manning vs Wentz for my starting qb? Seems like the consensus is Manning but Wentz has been so exciting thus far. Feels like a wildcard though and I'm not sure I wanna risk it, especially this week.

Treadwell

Keep 3, but the keeper cost is really high, like 3 rounds above where you took them last year. So it's all about stashing lottery tickets and hoping they're worth keeping. Which is why I haven't already dropped those chumps.

That's brutally tough but I feel like he's gotta be a hold. The waiver wire must be pretty barren, no?

I realized it's gotten out of control. I realize I'm out of control.
Help me prioritize these players for waiver action. I am pretty RB needy right now, but some of these WR pickups are too juicy to pass up.

Jerrick McKinnon
DeVante Parker
Dwayne Washington
Quincy Enunwa
Mike Wallace
Victor Cruz

Matt Asiata

E: dude who offered me Zeke + Marvin for my Gurley is now backing down and backpedaling to Demarco Murray + Michael Floyd. I still kinda feel like accepting, but trying to see if I can get him to do Zeke + Floyd or Murray + Jones. Other option is Murray + Jennings or Blount, since I don't think Floyd would actually be an upgrade over my current WRs. Thoughts?

This guy is wanting to shuffle up his team after starting 0-2 and is open to moving Julio.

He wants Jordy + good RB, but i've told him there's nothing wrong with his RB's currently and he's weaker at WR.

I'm thinking Jordy + Golden Tate, but i'm not sure he's gonna take that. If i do throw in a RB, i'm not even sure what combination i can do atm.

I dunno, a tackling dummy would have been more effective than Kalil last year, maybe this will force someone else to step up

Kalil is terrible, that's probably an upgrade. TJ Clemmings is probably going to be the LT (this is still probably bad but I think less bad than Kalil).

Also Zimmer just said that McKinnon is going to start.

12 team, 1PPR, IDP
1xRB, 2xWR, 2xFlex

I'm currently 2-0 and top scorer, but wondering if I should be thinking about trying to shore up some weak spots with one or two of my receivers (maybe trying to sell high on them?). Mostly hurting at TE I guess. Maybe could try and get a stud IDP?

First week I ran 2 RB and 3 WR but last week I benched Gurley and ran 4 WR.

Anyway here's what I got and their current position rank using our scoring.

QB
Carr 3
Big Ben 6

WR
Cooks 1
Diggs 2
Coleman 18
Nelson 21
DeSean 37
Cruz 37
TY 50

RB
Forte 2
Bernard 11
Gurley 46

TE
Cameron 17
Miller 28
Graham 33

Other
Texans D
Bailey K
Sean Lee LB
Linval DT
Vaccaro S

Just looking for any advice along the lines of "maybe you could get this or this TE for this or this WR" or "you should try and sell this WR high right now because he's not likely to pan out"

FYI it's a bad matchup this week for the Vikes against Carolina, so temper early expectations for McKinnon.

MarquisDeCarabas
Jun 16, 2012
I know Kalil was turrible but I like to think that, if they kept trotting him out as the starter, that means the Vikes other options were more terrible. And PFF confirms that Clemmings, too, is indeed pretty bad. I just think the combo of new QB, a shaken up OL, and a muddled RB situation makes that a situation I want to avoid. I recognize the potential upside if you have McKinnon and it works out, but...yeesh. FF gives me enough headaches already.

Who is going in the 10th that has that upside? That's 2/3 of the way through most standard drafts. Do you really not think that Josh Gordon has the potential to be the 109-120th ranked fantasy player? He was going for like WR5 prices, how is that risky?
