The waiver wire sucks rear end this year. I'm in 8,10,and 12 team leagues. And the RB disrespect this year is really funny as they're the most valuable commodity. Zero RB has really backfired for people who did it. The top WRs have mostly underpreformed. Random weeks of ridiculous scores and bad QB play has dominated. Nothing on the wire for RBs is rosterable.

Yeah RB has mostly been pretty dire. Week 1 was pretty good (my top 3 recommendations were Coleman, Riddick, and McKinnon if you didn't need a spot start), but after that, the WR pickups have been significantly better imo. I will say that this is a bit abnormal, though. Historically, RB WW guys perform better than WR WW guys - most of the WR production on teams comes from the draft. Early RB could backfire too this year. In one redraft league I took Peterson (2), JCharles (4), Ameer (7), Foster (8), Coleman (11), Ware (12), and Lewis for the IR Spot (13). Seven drafted running backs should be fine, right? Thanks to the injury bug, I'm starting DeAndre and TWest this week. Speaking of DeAndre, I'd probably only bump him up in value for spot starts this week. Long-term a 3-headed committee still seems likely. Upside plays still stay mostly the same in my WW rankings from earlier.

Zero RB backfired? Melvin Gordon, Isaiah Crowell, Tevin Coleman, Christine Michael, Frank Gore, Spencer Ware, Jerick McKinnon, LeGarette Blount, DeAngelo Williams, Theo Riddick, and now DeAndre Washington were all zero RB target players this year, and have been pretty successful. Gordon, Crowell, Coleman and Blount are currently top 12 in points scored to date. Hell, you could even make an argument that Murray was a fringe zero RB target, as he was a mid-late round guy, and he's the RB #1.

Does anyone that knows IDP know if I should dump Sean Lee (Dal)? He's always projected at 13+ but is underperforming (10.8) which makes him 24th on player rank, and I can grab Will Compton (ranked 7 38% owned, 14.4 average) or Jerrell Freeman (ranked 16 74% owned 12.1 average).

Thinking of dumping Houston DST for Philadelphia DST, thoughts? I kinda want to give Houston one more week, but if not for a random TD return against the Titans they would have put up 3 points against a weak offense.

Watt is out for the year in the office is garbage so the defense has to keep taking the field. I'd go Philly. I'm not sure that the defense is actually quite as good as they're playing right now but the special teams unit is great and you might end up with a return touchdown here or there.

This week should certainly prove whether they're an every week option or not. Road game against a QB that can put up points and be exposed for turnovers. They're three point favorites and the line has moved in their favor, so I'd expect positive game script and turnover opportunity.

Week 1 was pretty good (my top 3 recommendations were Coleman, Riddick, and McKinnon if you didn't need a spot start), but after that, the WR pickups have been significantly better imo. this is exactly why zero RB works. There is always a group of late or undrafted RBs that become relevant while the list is way smaller for WRs so its better to draft the WRs early. Look at the list of the top backs from last year (DJ, Gurley, Freeman)..all of them were drafted in rounds 6 or later and were more relevant the back half of the season than those drafted in the first 2 rounds.

I've actually quantified it down to if a player is playing against me he will score a million points. Put all your money on the following players this week: Tyrod Taylor, Josh Brown, Vincent Jackson, Matt Forte, Chris Thompson, Rob Gronkowski, Michael Crabtree, Graham Gano, Baltimore defense. Yes that lineup looks like it'll poo poo out a lame 90 point finish in PPR but I guarantee you it'll go over 160 points this week.

My team has been beset by injuries (RIP Keenan Allen). I'm in talks with a guy who loves Doug Martin to do some kind of deal where he gets Martin and I get Mike Evans. He has a very RB-needy team. So far I've made my initial lowball offer: Doug Martin, Arian Foster, and Allen Hurns for Mike Evans and Randall Cobb He offered: Mike Evans and Randall Cobb for Alshon Jeffrey and Doug Martin (which isn't that bad of a deal really) Non-PPR, ESPN Standard except we start an extra WR. Should I take the Evans+Cobb for Alshon+Doug Martin deal? My team: Kirk Cousins Isaiah Crowell, C.J. Anderson, Charles Sims, Jeremy Langford, Jerick McKinnon, Ameer Abdullah*, Doug Martin, Arian Foster Julio Jones, Alshon Jeffery, Jamison Crowder, Allen Hurns, Tajae Sharpe His team: Matt Ryan Jamaal Charles, Spencer Ware, Latavius Murray, Giovani Bernard, DeAndre Washington Antonio Brown, Michael Crabtree, Mike Evans, Steve Smith Sr., Phillip Dorsett, Randall Cobb mega dy fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Oct 6, 2016 |

Neither Tyrell nor Washington are standouts in their respective crowded depth chart areas. Meanwhile Wentz actually looks good and Matthews has been decent so far too.

How much are people valuing Foster? He was dropped in my league, FAAB. 100pts on the season, .5 PPR league. My current RBs are DeMarco, Rawls, L Murray, and Riddick (I went 0 RB) IF he stays healthy he'd fit nicely next to DeMarco, since the latter 3 have been up in the air most of the season. I currently have a 25 pt bid in (out of my 87 remaining). I really can't decide if that's appropriate or not.

Taking great RBs in the first and/or second round because everyone else in goon drafts was doing "0 RB" worked out well. I mean, I'm 0-4, it didn't work out that well, but it's not the fault of my RBs or WRs, it's because I did badly everywhere else and for example what the hell has happened to Carson Palmer? Plus running into high scores every week. This past week I lost by 0.3 points

Seriously though, Carson Palmer what the gently caress dude. I started Eli Manning over him in week 2 because it was against New Orleans and should have been a massively high scoring game, I guess that's not Palmer's fault. But week 3 was awful and I don't think week 4 is entirely up to the concussion.
