Thanks. He's making a play for Amari Cooper from another owner, but it sounds like he's down for this deal if he can't get Cooper.

I have Stewart, Rawls, BMarshall, Booker, and Lewis on my bench, so my situation could be a lot worse admittedly. Just not sure who I like more. Leaning Marshall actually. Or Rawls...

I have Dez, Forte, Jennings, and Tyrell starting so far.


Beer4TheBeerGod posted:

Kelce hasn't been exactly consistent, but Reed has a tough couple games ahead. But judging from which way those teams are trending, I'd take Reed over Kelce. Especially if it meant you got Dak-what a stud.

Why would you considering dropping TY for Diggs? Is Luck supposed to be out for an extended period of time, or is this more for streamings sake?

This is a good point. He may not find the end zone but could see a lot of volume.

I'm not telling you what to do one way or the other with Matt Ryan this week (DSYS) but 3 QBs have multiple TDs against the Cards this season and only one of them threw for them and those 3 were Keenum, Gabbert and Kaepernick. Niners QBs are the only ones with over 20 FP against them.

So.

Ya know.

Im still unsure about playing Hilton. I mean, my WR corps is pretty garbage as it is. I'd be rolling out Jarvis Landry and Corey Coleman otherwise. WW is pretty thin... I have a claim on Tajae Sharp since he had been targeted pretty heavily the last few games... but I don't know. I feel like Hilton is good for at least 10, even with a garbage QB (.5 PPR)

Trade Jeremy Hill (possibly with a plus) for Gates and Rishard Matthews?

Rolling with Hunter/Cook at TE, and Evans/Nuk/M. Jones/T. Hill at WR, so could use some help after losing AJG.

Leaves me with Gordon, Gore and Kelly at RB.

Do not trade a starting running back who is the only game in town unless it's for an upgrade. He will be bad this week but fine ROS.

A backend TE1 and Rishard Matthews does not qualify.

Do not roster Jared Cook.

Why not roster Cook? He comes back into a 100+ yard game with a touch down and... he's not worth rostering?

TE sucks this year so he seems just as good as anybody else to me at this moment.

I get that he's a bad player which is what they're talking about, but he did have 11 targets last week and adds a vertical element to Green Bay's offense, so I'm with you in thinking he's worth a stash.

Should I pick up any of these guys to play over him this week?

Bortles @ BUF

Ehhh, pretty strongly disagree. Palmer @Atl is the easy choice. Pretty sure Atlanta gives up like top 3 points to QBs, and Palmer is better on the year than Tannehill and Wentz anyway, despite generally disappointing. Bortles @Buf would be my next choice, though I'm scared as hell to always rely on Bortles garbage time so he's a bit behind Palmer for me.

Agree with this. The Dolphins have transitioned to more of a ground focused attack and Tannehill just hasn't been very good all year.

I am getting the feeling that I'm more down - or at least less up - than most on Watkins, but some of the drops I've seen to pick him up in my leagues (Booker, L. Murray, Ingram) are definitely above where I would be at this point, even if those guys aren't superstars or anything. Am I off base here?

Ingram I could see if they have good starting RBs already, but the other two definitely seem like reaches.

To sign them is my real test

With full no movement clause
With how bad the Packers are at running the ball causing them to rely on quick close-to-the-line passes, and how badly they need someone to attack the seam, a healthy Cook has a non-zero chance to be a contributor. He's just as worthy of a stash as anyone else who's probably currently on your WW. I don't think I could trust him enough to start until the usage happens two weeks in a row, but I'd easily rather have him on my bench than Bibbs or the Washingtons or LaFell or some poo poo. If he can get like 5/50 a week with TD potential, that's easily better than like 90% of TEs at this stage in the game. He's certainly a better add for a TE-needy team than whatever Will Tye/Lance Kendricks-level crap that's out there. Richard Rodgers was a top-15 TE last year basically because he caught a handful of TDs in the waning weeks of the season when there was literally no one else on the team who would step up. For all of Jared Cook's faults, he's way loving better than Richard Rodgers.

Nah, those guys are all way better holds than Watkins. It isn't like he was on fire to start the year, or that he only missed 4-5 weeks. Dude's been out forever.

Tough. Rest of season I'd stick with Stafford, but none of those other guys are easily droppable. Maybe Boyd, but you'll be kicking yourself if Green is gone for the rest of the year. Honestly not sure what I'd do. Probably dump Boyd if this is a do or die week, and otherwise roll with Stafford if you should be safely into playoffs regardless of this week's outcome.

Watkins is in a worse offense and squarely in "show me" territory whereas Boyd has looked good in limited usage already, in a decent offense, with a mediocre defense that should lead to some shootouts, and Eifert can't do it by himself. Burkhead is a nobody and LaFell sucks.

A second TE to maybe start in week 13 (after seeing it two weeks in a row)?
Against Houston, who allows the fourth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends?
Or week 14, against Seattle, who allows the eighth-fewest?
Or week 15, against Chicago, who allows the ninth-fewest?
And then are you going to trust him in the finals?

I mean.

Sure.

Yeah for sure, Jared Cook the complete shoo-in for 5-50 each week, just like he's managed to hit in 0 previous seasons or in his first three games this year when he went a combined 7-53-0.

Nevermind his schedule to close out the year, as Spoeank says.
