I drafted Blount for some dumb reason. Is there any other Philly RB that is worth stashing as a wait and see? I would be dropping Prosise and it is 1PPR.

My feeling is that Prosise is a better bet than any of them.

I'm actually kinda high on Goff this year, if only because he has, like, an actual offensive coach now. So, yeah, I don't know if the difference between Watkins and Hopkins is gonna be as big as people think. Hopkins would prolly get the edge just for injury reasons though.

I'd start Bradford over Dalton this week. Long-term, who knows. You can actually make an OK committee out of these low-owned QB2s for the first month::

Week 1: Bradford vs. NO
Week 2: Eli vs. Det
Week 3: Dalton @ GB
Week 4: Bradford vs. Det

That will be harder once byes start though.

Yeah, I was thinking of dropping someone for Bradford this week, but I dunno if I have anyone I'd feel comfortable dropping. If they're roughly the same long-term, I'm prolly gonna have to stick with him this week and hope for the best.

Don't think he'll be sniffing 192 targets. I think expecting 1100 and 7 is fair if not a little on the generous side and even that puts him below his ADP/price tag.

With Fuller out, it's not like the Texans have a credible receiving threat. He got a 150+ last year and it's hard to see that number decreasing.

100% Prosise is better than any Philly RB (beyond Sproles), especially in a PPR

I don't think he will get close to 192 targets either, but I picked him up at 4.1 in Full PPR and if he gets 1100/7, that is WELL worth that adp. That is basically Doug Baldwin's stat line from last year and he finished WR8.

Just hold onto Blount and Prosise. I really don't think Smallwood is going to take over the job and Sproles is too drat old to be anything other than a passing down back.

And Hopkins was still a high end WR3 last year. Looks like Fantasy Pros has him as a high end WR2 in rankings, ahead of guys like DT (still has Sanders and Siemian, a year older), Jeffery (no idea how he'll fit into new team, questions with missing time to little injuries, Wentz is a bit of a question mark), Crabtree (still has Cooper ready to take over), and Keenan Allen (will his volume change with Tyrell in the fold and the run game looking better?). Hopkins has so little competition for targets, has already shown his range with questionable QBs (top 5 WR) to absolute garbage QBs (high end WR3). If you get mid to low WR2 numbers from a guy you drafted at WR#13, but whose ceiling is already shown to be high end WR1, I don't think that's so bad, ya know?

Real question for me is which direction Allen Robinson goes. I'm much more worried about him bouncing back than I am Hopkins.

Got a league this year and our commissioner didn't notice we had an odd number of teams so instead of a draft last night, our league starts week two. :/

I dunno guys, we really can't forget that last year he was being thrown to by maybe the worst starting QB of the last decade. Hopkins put up crazy numbers the year he had Hoyer, Mallett, Yates, and Cassel throwing to him so there is every reason to believe that as long as loving Brock isn't throwing to him, he will be fine.

This - Osweiler is gone. I'm OK with Hopkins as my WR2 because he has the talent to be a WR1 and he now has a better system behind him.

Yeah. That's a real tricky one. His targets didn't change but each catch was 5 yards shorter. It was not good. I worry a lot about consistency on the team. I don't have any shares of ARob this year, and I feel fine.

No, Ginn wouldn't even sniff your starting lineup unless 3 of your WR's have the same bye or get injured.

Rawls is the better stash.

Prorate his weekly scoring from his increased usage later in the year, and add in a share of the targets Edelman would have gotten, and you're looking at a monster. My advice is dump plodding two down back Gurley and upgrade to White, before someone else snatches him up.

What do y'all think about Jordan Matthews? His ADP seems way too low to me. What is the big fear with a QB upgrade, offensive scheme upgrade, and a talented rookie running the other side?

I went with stashing Corey Davis, but I fear he is going to be like every other Titan rookie receiver ever.

That's hilarious. I was pretty much out of the loop on fantasy last year, but figured it was mainly the dumb offense that was holding him back.

Why the gently caress should we help you with anything when you disappeared as commissioner of the $50 league last year and they had go through some huge ordeal to get the money out of Leaguesafe? And you abandoned your team in the league I was in, which gave a free win to my Week 13 opponent and knocked me out of the playoffs.

Nevermind, I forgive you. Here's an article.

The Bills offense isn't a dumpster fire though. And Matthews has been targeted 350 times in the first 3 years of playing which ain't too shabby. I'm just worried that Tyrod Taylor isn't actually good.

I'm sure the rotoworld blurb about Burkhead (and White) getting a lot of work week 1 while Gillislee is still banged up means he's going to be a real fantasy difference maker. Or BB will make Dion Lewis a workhorse this week, or run the ball <10 times, or have been blowing smoke and Gillislee is fine and carries it 20+ times, or

Doug Martin

Probably just gonna drop McFadden. Only reason I haven't is because he's basically my only backup RB until Week 5 when Martin is back and even with only 5 man benches there isn't a lot of other options out there and I'm deep at WR with Michael Thomas, Mike Evans, Alshon jeffrey, Stefon Diggs
