Robert Kelley, Peyton Barber, Paul Perkins, Steve Smith, John Brown, Desean Jackson, Enunwa are all available in my league. (Standard non-ppr)

Who do I drop for one of them? (I know I shouldn't be carrying 3 qb's, but I don't know who to drop)

QB- Wilson, Mariota, Palmer
RB- Bell, Elliot, Coleman, Deangelo WIlliams, Dion Lewis(IR)
WR- Jordy, Sanders, Coleman, Marvin Jones, Shepard, Crowder,
TE- Fleener

Thoughts?

Drop Palmer and do nothing else. None of those guys are worth a spot and you really don't need 3 QBs.

If your girlfriend says hey to me that's our girlfriend now idc
Hmm yes, just run with an empty roster slot. Great advice.

I agree that you should drop Palmer. I'd probably lean Kelley, since that job seems up for grabs.

Fantasypros has Palmer ahead of Mariota and Wilson this week. I should drop him now, rather than playing him vs San Fran and then dropping him? Mariota plays GB and Wilson plays NE.

Everything is in my control

I've mentioned it a couple times in these threads throughout the years, but I'm very annoyed with my College Buddy ESPN League having a limit on RBs and WRs. We can only have 5 of each. And last year, it was 5 WRs and 4 RBs. So I'm trying to drop Austin Hooper, Atl's TE, now that Gronk's back from his bye, but there's literally nobody I can really grab. I ended up stashing the Packers D because the QB free agency is a rolling tumbleweed and there are no RBs or WRs better than the ones on my current roster, though there are some good ones I'd consider stashing if I could.

Is this an ESPN default? Doesn't seem like the kind of thing our commish would come up with on his own, but unfortunately it's not going to change anytime soon in our league because last time we talked about it, the consensus was that it's a good thing because it helps us value our skill players more. It's still lame though.

Diving right into Fantasy this morning as a welcome distraction.

That's not at all default. FantasyPlus extension highlights any setting that isn't default so it's easy to see where your league has been changed. The only difference in my league is the addition of an IR spot, so in your case you're missing out on like half of potential RB/WR spots.

I just found it this season, it's been pretty great.

For anyone curious:


This is a screenshot of my roster with the extension. It adds in a depth chart, FantasyPros projections, a scoring trend chart, and the iAVG column which removes injury/suspension games and shows average score per game actually played. Refer to Gronk or J Stew in my example to see how nice it can be to see their true average score at a glance. Depth chart has been pretty invaluable for the IDP league I'm in as well.

I'm trying to think ahead for next week and pick up a RB. Half PPR, 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/1FLX. Here's my team:

QB: Newton
RB: Forte, David Johnson, Melvin Gordon, Bilal Powell, CJ Prosise
WR: Dez Bryant, Stefon Diggs, Jordan Matthews, TY Hilton, Amari Cooper
TE: Jordan Reed, Tyler Eifert, Travis Kelce

Eifert and Kelce were WW pickups that I hope to move for something. Couple questions:

1. Would you drop CJ Prosise for Paul Perkins or James Starks?
2. What kind of value do you think I could get for trading away 1/2 of my TEs?

Prosise looks like he will have the most opportunities going forward, with Rawls still a question mark and CMike regressing.

And you absolutely should be able to get value. You own three of the five best TEs

Someone in my league just couldn't handle carrying him anymore so he was dropped before the weekend. I added him off waivers this morning, so this is just the news I needed because my Ingram/Crowell/McKinnon rushing attack leaves something to be desired.

Has Cam gotten any better? If not, maybe you package him and a TE for a QB upgrade.

Man, if you had traded him instead of Brady, your team would be terrifying.

That is the type of roster where I tend to move all my depth to get the scariest starting lineup that I can. Something like Diggs, Kelce, Gordon to the Bell owner kind of move. Then I pray nobody gets hurt.

Note, just did this and dropped two straight, so I might not be the best person to ask. (Was actually in bye week hell)

Cam remains disappointing, and yeah I might be able to swing a trade there. Who would be an upgrade? Maybe Rodgers? OTOH his playoff schedule is amazing.

I am offering the Jeffery owner Jordan Matthews and Travis Kelce for him.

My philosophy is a bunch of 2 for 1s followed by WW speculation.

Derek Carr, Drew Brees and Philip Rivers all have nice playoff schedules I would target.

That's the type of move I would make. I always like asking people which of my players they like. Get a feel for that. I was able to get Hyde for Hill and Wentz, because the guy showed a lot of interest in Hill and I realized that he had him rated way higher than I did.

Crowder is the #19 wideout averaging 14.4 points per game in 1ppr. Sammie Coates is the #56 WR averaging 8.9 points per game in 1ppr.

Also week 16 Crowder faces the Bears.

e. Coates is a lottery ticket in any given week with the potential for long bombs and big TDs. Crowder is a start-every-week solid WR2 with decent upside and a very nice floor. I would do it if Crowder would be startable on your team.
