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

If you're deep at WR and don't have a backup RB then I think the easy drop is Anderson, not McFadden.

Imagine this level of hype for Branden Bolden. Did you know he had over 100 carries in his first two years with NE, at a 4.9 ypc, and 5 touchdowns? He showed proficiency in the passing game, recording 21 catches in just 12 games in 2013. Did you know Burkhead has just 87 career carries, a sub 4.3 career ypc, and has never caught more than 17 passes in a season? That he has 4 career touchdowns, or just half of Bolden's total?

Rex Burkhead, a bit of a downgrade from Brandon Bolden.

With our points system, he's probably the second best in the league. Johnny Hekker is the best by a pretty good margin though, and I happen to have him.

Don't drop McFadden. Someone is going to grab him and use him against you when Zeke finally gets suspended. Drop Anderson.

Punts Inside the 20 (PT20) - 1
Punt Average 44.0+ (PTA44) - 3
Punt Average 42.0-43.9 (PTA42) - 2
Punt Average 40.0-41.9 (PTA40) - 1

I think every league with punters has their own way of scoring though. You'll very rarely get more than 8 points in a game, but we all love weird stuff like that, so it's pretty fun.

In my PPR league, the commish set the timer to 30 seconds and ended up auto picking Kelce and Reed back to back. His RBs are DJ, Abdullah, and Lacy. Thats it.

I've got Zeke, Crowell, K. Hunt, Mixon, Kamara, and J. Conner. My TE however is Witten, no backup because this dude has +20 durability and will never miss a game.

Should I throw any of those guys out there to try and get Reed or Kelce? Or just roll with old man Witten in 1 PPR and try and work the waiver wire later?

Quoting this because I talked to the guy at work today. He didnt want to do Hunt for either TE straight up. He said he was worried about Mixon because of the "third string on the depth chart" thing. He said for both Hunt and Mixon he'd do either TE, but thats being a little greedy on his part I think.

Could we work out a deal? My WRs are sorta weak, I dont have much to offer him there. Evans, Watkins, Cobb and DJax are my only WRs, it might be better for me to keep an eye out for a WR I could trade for instead of a TE.

Truth. It's just so easy to generate a convincing narrative about how the future might unfold despite (because of?) such limited evidence to work from.

I believe it's just how far the ball travels. I've thought about suggesting coaches, just because it sounds fun, but I don't know if the rest of the league would go for it.

In all seriousness the only reason the famous fantasy predictors get as high as like 50% is because we're including all the hot takes like "start Bell."

Is that a pie in your pocket?
I just received a pretty interesting trade offer I'm leaning heavily towards doing, just wondering if anyone wants to give me some thoughts or feedback please?

I give up:

Carson Palmer
Lamar Miller
Tevin Coleman

FOR

Matt Stafford
LeSean McCoy
Taylor Gabriel

These are our two teams below; I feel like it's a pretty decent trade for me picking up Stafford and Shady at the expense of Palmer (which is my backup QB to Prescott for match up play) and an upgrade for Miller to Shady.

The only part I'm a bit concerned with is getting rid of Coleman for Gabriel, but I was hoping to pickup some help with my WR corps since losing Cameron Meridith in the preseason (no longer pictured on my roster)

This is a good deal for me yes? (my team on the left)

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.
So there's a guy in one of my 14 team leagues that is starting Torrey Smith, Rishard Matthews, and Mohamed Sanu. So he's pretty desperate for WRs. The only valuable players on his team are Cam, LVB, Beast Mode, and Gronk. I really don't think I can pry anyone other than Beast Mode off of him.

My RB/WR roster: DJ, Montgomery, Hunt, Blount, Riddick, Duke, Alshon, Tyreek, Crowder, Parker, Moncrief.

I was thinking of offering him Blount, Riddick, and Crowder for Beast Mode (and some junk to even out the trade). Too much? Not enough?

I could also try to pry LVB off of him by doing Montgomery, Riddick, and Tyreek but I don't think he'd bite at first and I don't want to scare him off.

Well, yeah! Rex is a special teams stud, Lewis an explosive kick returner, Dorsett could potentially be on punts and Malcolm Mitchell went to IR so they need another field stretcher, White is an awesome pass-catching back and Gilly is a monster between the tackles. Do your job everybody!
