Would my T. Coleman and Snead be too low of an offer for J. Howard? He has Freeman. Otherwise I can replace Snead with A. Rob (currently my flex).

yahoo draft grading thing heavily leans on their projected points, so if i just drafted the highest projected points left every pick, i'd probably still get an A even if my team was subpar at best.


If you don't draft a K or Def, you're defo gonna be like a C.

So 2 bench players, one of whom is suspended, for a projected top 10 RB?

should i be starting Rawls or Charmander instead of Mixon as my RB2 until Mixon's role becomes clear or does he still have the better outlook with Hill starting?

Rawls is stated as the starter (and Lacy is pathetic) but its unclear if he'll play and Charmander is likely to split with Hunt, but who knows.

Why would someone trade their RB2 for a package that includes a WR that is suspended for 3 games?

There's a start/sit thread. But the answer is Rawls. He's listed as the starter and will play.

Edit: well poo poo I didn't know he had a hurt ankle.

Rawls has a hurt ankle and we're not sure if he plays. Might need to wait until Saturday to decide.

Meh, I probably wouldn't, but they'll both be infuriating, inconsistent options. I think Ginn theoretically has more upside, but he's going to have bad weeks for sure, and could play himself out of getting much volume.

Generally, if I were going to move Howard, it'd only be if I'm otherwise strong at RB and for a premier player at another position. If I were terribly weak at WR and had acceptable RB options, I might do it for 2 guys of about ARob quality. If the Bears are awful and Howard suffers, that'd change here in a week or so, but for now, that's what I'd be looking for.

In general, if I'm going to trade away a starter, it's going to need to be for someone who is going to be starting for me as well.

Drop west. It's a 10 man league so unless you have 15 person benches you should either be able to get him back or find someone else.

I snagged him in one league to prevent the Winston owner from using him against me. And I have him in another league just for this matchup against the Saints.

Yahoo lets you drop a player after their game, and pick up a player who hasn't played yet?

Who do I drop for my Defense and Kicker?

Stefon Diggs
Frank Gore
Hunter Henry
Corey Coleman
Derek Carr
John Brown
Matt Forte

My gut is telling me Forte and Carr, because I think Brown and Coleman are both primed for big seasons, but I worry that if I drop Carr I wouldn't be able to get as good a QB for when my Bye Week (week 6, so early) comes.

There's always a QB to scoop up on the waiver wire for a bye week. Use the roster spot in other ways.

Are you sure about this? I've always played Yahoo and I'm pretty sure it locks any player on your roster once their team starts the game.

Edit: Google seems to say you're right. That's a huge oversight on Yahoo's part. That being said, I wish I knew about this before I dropped Burkhead a few hours ago for a kicker.

I think you can do this on NFL.com too. That's what I'm planning to do, evaluate Burkhead on Thurs and then decide who to drop for a kicker. If not, it looks like I'm going kicker-free for Week 1!

It's 0.5 PPR. Rotoviz is all over Kenny Britt's air yard penis this season, so I gotta see that out. My recievers are AJ Green, DT, Keenan Allen, Stefon Diggs, Eric Decker, Kenny Britt, and Pierre Garcon. So, I didn't want to get rid of Hogan, but ya do what you gotta do.

I didn't have any backup IDP's. But, I absolutely can not drop Kwon Alexander to the waiver wire. Last year's #1 LB in my scoring system. Dude is a beast. If it were any other LB, I would have dropped them. But, you don't drop guys like Alexander or Kuechly.

He had an ADP of ~270 last year, WR#70 something, per MFL, and finished as WR#30ish. In 2015, he was ADP ~120ish, WR#40ish, and finished as WR#35ish. I don't know when you drafted him or what you expected, but he's been better than ADP the last couple years and is primed for an even bigger year. Someone repost that list of career receptions for 49ers players!

Terrance West is a starting NFL RB who was competent last year, and whose competition is suspended 4 games to start this year and didn't do particularly well last year anyway. What are you doing??
