I'm currently starting Barnidge while stashing Eifert. I'm just curious if Bennett is going to continue to perform. NE seems to like it's TEs.

There's just not enough of a sample size to say for sure. You may have more upside with Bennett like last week but Barnidge's place in the offense is more secure.

Step 1: Start fight
Step 2: Attack straw man
Step 3: REPEAT

Do not engage with me



10 man, 1ppr league. I am thinking of putting out these trades.

My Coates/Powell for his Diggs. He owns Forte and Powell actually has more points on the season. Good/bad?

His L. Miller for my Coates/Bernard. He is hurting at receiver, (So am I, RIP Decker), but Miller just seems like an amazing buy low candidate. The opportunity is there. I figure, if my hurt RBs finally put it together, I can flip one for s receiver.

Thoughts?

Not enough of a sample size of these specific players performing together, or NE/McDaniels having 2 productive tight ends? I don't think it's crazy to think they both wind up top 10 TEs if healthy.

I expect Bennett will finish the season well, his TDs to date are good enough to pretty much ensure a top half finish, but I bet you're playing whack-a-mole the whole year hoping to avoid the 2 point games and hit on the 20.

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.
I'm a bit bored here at work and have the trade itch. Here's my current roster

QB - Matty Ice, Carr
RB - DJ, Forte, CMike, Foster, Ware
WR - Jordy, Evans, JMatt, Cameron Meredith, Terrance Williams
TE - Kelce
D/ST - Steelers, Vikings (Steelers will be dropped after this week)
K - Bailey

I've got 3 potential targets.

#1: The guy I got JMatt off of for DeAndre Washington and Tyrell Williams. He's the Decker owner. Only player I'd want are probably Brady and maybe Gurley. Does offering Carr/Meredith/Ware for Brady/L. Murray really hurt or help my team?

#2: Dude is rolling with Kirk Cousins and has Dez. Offered Carr/JMatt/Ware for ARob/Eifert. Haven't heard back. I'm thinking he may be a Taco and doesn't pay attention.

3: Last guy is rolling with Wentz and Eli and no real depth at RB behind his two started. I'm thinking of shooting over Carr/JMatt/Ware for Wentz (or Eli)/Emmanuel Sanders.

So thoughts? Any of these trades help my team? Or should I just stand pat with what I have?

Worried about them having a single-digit game is a better modifier. And Olsen is in a Gronkian class of his own right now.

You need to be more realistic. You aren't getting Sanders for ASJ.

It's also week 5. Last year in standard scoring Olsen had 1, 7, 25, 2, 19, 6, 13, 12, 8, 11, 7, 12, 5, 12, 4, 1

Kelce was 22, 5, 8, 4, 3, 8, 7, 10, 3, 4, 12, 4, 1, 7, 10, 1

pretty trick or treat. Maybe this year will be way better, maybe not?

I mean you can always try. I always low-ball as a starting point. If the guy takes it, then great. If not, well then you have a floor to start on and you can work your way up.

However, that trade is insulting and I'd not want to do business with you if I was him. If he's an idiot though, well go for it.

Welp. I traded for Reed, got a few good games out of him, and now he's likely not going to play. Already dropped Carson Wentz for Tyler Eifert, but I'm wondering if I should grab someone else. Half PPR:

Best available are:

Antonio Gates
Zach MIller
Charles Clay
Dwayne Allen
Julius Thomas
Gary Barnidge
Richard Rodgers

Should I grab any of them or stick with Eifert and hope he comes back in stride?

I guess he was just showing symptoms today in practice because I haven't heard anything about this on the radio until literally just now.

Sucks. He's so talented but his brains are basically mashed potatoes at this point.

I kinda want to grab Lewis in my half PPR league to stash but I'd have to drop either Shepard or Ware for him. Or I could try to wait it out for one more week so I can drop the defense I'm using to cover Minnesota's bye week.

Hope people dont start talking about him too much.

Someone with Jimmy Graham dropped him for Eddie Royal.

Also someone just dropped Doug Martin. gently caress me my team can't handle this. Half PPR, 3WR, ten teams.

QB: Cam Newton
RB: Melvin Gordon, David Johnson, Matt Forte, Bilal Powell
WR: Marvin Jones, TY Hilton, Jordan Matthews, John Brown, Tyrell Williams, Stefon Diggs, Dez Bryant
TE: Jordan Reed, Tyler Eifert
DST: Bills
K: Hauschka

I'm 4th in waiver claims but I'm ahead of most of the active people. Here's my tentative order of operations:

Claim 1: Grab Martin, Drop Eifert
Claim 2: Grab Miller, Drop Eifert
Claim 3: Grab Miller, Drop Hauschka

Sound good?

I think with Bennett you're looking at a player with virtually no floor. Olsen may have a bum week from time to time, but it's rarely a 0.
