I see Kelvin Benjamin and AJ Green have been rage dropped should I think about getting them? I have OBJ, Adams, Fitz, Baldwin, Britt, and Inman.

Leaning towards no because Benjamin is on my hate list and I'm not sure if AJ will play.

Benjamin for this week maybe because of Washingtons dumpster fire secondary (except Norman who may or may not cover him), whereas I cannot see a good reason for the Bengals to even play AJ again this year.

Edit: oops I guess I was wrong and they're saying Green might practice today so..if he's out there still he's probably worth the add over Kenny Britt.

This happened three weeks ago but I didn't notice it until Sunday, but the #1 seed traded Andy Dalton and Tedd Ginn Jr for Devonta Freeman and Hurns. Hurns is worthless but this was also before Ginn balled out against Oakland and Seattle so in exchange for Freeman (like the RB6 in our league) this guy got QB17 and WR32 or something. He needed the QB (was starting Palmer) but...

How bullshit is this trade?

I don't think this was collusion but at some point should the commish (which is not me) step in and prevent sharks from taking advantage of lovely players that probably aren't making the playoffs?

Actually it's a bit worse than I thought, the guy has Palmer but I didn't realize he also has Flacco. Traded away Freeman when his other RBs are Ryan Mathews and Terrance West.

How do we feel about JJ Nelson in the Superdome this week if Michael Floyd gets suspended for being a dumbass? Seems like some serious blowup potential.

Alternatively, Carson Palmer is poo poo and Nelson fooled a lot of people earlier in the year when he was the supposed #2.

Can't argue with the matchup. I am doing it in one league, but it is a pure desperation play.

To sign them is my real test

With full no movement clause
The ghost of KVO still hovers around Carson's knees, taunting him, prompting him to stutter, clutch, and sail pass after pass. The anomaly of 2015 Carson Palmer is dead and buried. Move on.

I should probably drop AP to start Texas over NE, shouldn't I? Otherwise it's NE vs Denver.

Given the injuries to Gordon and Forte I almost feel like AP would be a good desperation play if my other RBs (Johnson and Powell) get hurt.

I deleted Sleeperbot when I had to move to an interim phone and I didn't miss it. Too much info, and too much of it was vague or unrelated to my teams.

If you can get over the use of the term sleeper, those weekly reports actually have some pretty useful info. In particular I like the missed air yards stat for WRs. Going back to AB84 as top sleeper pick though, are you sure you weren't looking at target leaders or something? The sleeper report lists sleeper criteria as "Players who ranked below the top 120 and vastly outperformed projections" so I can't see AB84 ever actually fitting there unless it was a mistake.

Anyway, I like seeing the alerts from sleeperbot but I pretty much never open the app itself. The community is super annoying and every new alert post gets drowned in 1500 people simultaneously commenting with "lulz" or "noooooo" before it devolves into completely unrelated sit or start questions. That being said, sleeperbot has opened my eyes to how delayed FBG's email alerts are and I am pretty over FBG's content this year as it is. I'll probably pass on paying for FBG next year and just rely on Rotoworld and maybe a 4for4 sub.

I'm down by 5 in a two week game. I'm hoping to win, since it would make the final between myself (#8 seed) and the #7 seed (he's up by 70 or so). Neither of us had a winning record in the regular season. :mmmhmm:

Playing my first game in another league after a first round bye.

Was eliminated last week in my 3rd league.

It was target leaders, because that's the first part of their e-mail

I got an e-mail from yahoo to advertise sleeper bot and the guy at the top of their sleeper report is Antonio Brown.

Uh...thanks for that hot tip guys. :geno:

But I feel that if you're advertising a service called SLEEPER bot then leading off the whole thing with Antonio Brown is not the best strategy

Yeah, I missed 4 playoffs. In my dynasty money league, I was top seed into the consolation tournament, though, so I had a bye last week and now play the lowest-seeded survivor from the other three consolation games. If I win this week, I'll be playing for the consolation championship and a token payout!

So... I'm still trying to win games in one league.

But really, being projected to blow out my opponent has typically been the kiss of death for my team so you've got a good chance. Just happy to make it to the playoffs this time around.
