I'd like to thank Satan for everything he's done for this organization

I'd also suggest Kupp as another WR to target. I drafted him in ppr and he'll be good depth if you can get him.

I'm among the many people with a broken DJ, and I'm tired of sucking rear end in my league so I'll ask for advice. I'm in an 8 man ppr league with bonus points for big plays and this is my current roster:
QB Tom Brady, Marcus Mariota,
RB Jay Ajayi, Ty Montgomery, David Johnson, Joe mixon, Ameer abdulla
WR Michael Crabtree, DeVante Parker, Randall Cobb, Alshon Jeffery, Donte Moncrief, Marvin Jones Jr.
TE Gronk
KR matt prater
D steelers

I put in a waiver to drop Mixon for Cohen or jaquizz rogers, and drop moncrief for Golladay. I'm third in the waiver wire so least one of those will pass but is there someone else I should be targeting? Here's the top 5 available in each category:
RB Cohen, Steward, Thompson, Vareen, Tolbert
WR Thielen, Golladay, Agholor, Kupp, Fowler III

I'm in a 1qb 2rb 2wr 1te 1flex league if that helps.

Drop or trade Mariota you don't need a backup QB this is an 8 team league. You're fine at RB, but I would drop Prater to pick him up and then see if anyone wants a 2 for 1 trade.

Don't drop Mixon, your drop order should be Mariota with Moncreif as your 2nd drop. Odds are you can probably pick him back up in a couple weeks in a 8 man league, unless Brisset blows up.

Ok so I have a waiver put in to drop Mariota for cohen or thielen and then moncrief for thielen or golladay. Am I doing this right? Or was the advice beer gave me to drop my kicker, pick up one of these guys and try to trade?

Honestly in an eight teamer the easiest way is to drop both and put in waiver bids for

Cohen (drop nobody)
Thielen (drop nobody)
Golladay (drop nobody)

Should I stay with Rex Burkhead on the bench. Should I cut him lose and get best flash-pan of the week, knowing Burkhead will score like 3 TD and get 80% of the snaps the min I do? I hate Bill Belichick.
As the official Rex Burkhead booster, I still think he has value. But if you need the reinforcements, he's droppable.

KC's defense really hosed with the Pats passing options but I was still encouraged by Burkhead's usage. He had two near misses in that game, including an end zone target, that would've made his line respectable. Tough catches to make, but he was drat close to making those plays. The biggest issue with that game that hurt Burkhead was that the passing game was off its rhythm. Gronk was taken away by Eric Berry, the DBs clamped down on Hogan/Cooks pretty well, and the LBs were matching up well against White/Burkhead when they were used. Even White only had one catch until late in the 4th quarter. The receiving backs benefit when the passing game is more effective and it looks like Burkhead is playing the Dion Lewis role. White is the guy for the hurry-up offense but I believe his week 1 usage will turn out to be higher than normal. His 10 carries were a career high in a single game for him. The offense leaned on Brady's trusted guys in week 1 and White is one of them, but his runs felt more like they were trying to catch the defense off guard since he's normally restricted to passing downs. Gillislee is obviously the back for the power offense although he still failed on two fourth downs so maybe that doesn't last forever. Lewis was largely limited to special teams and was the fourth RB through the rotation; can't fully explain why but doesn't surprise me. Something felt fishy about his situation to me all preseason. So now Burkhead is out there as the creative receiving back for the offense; taking snaps in the backfield and also splitting out wide or running that halfback wheel route play they love so much. In PPR leagues, I want Brady's receiving back; previously that was Lewis so if Burkhead is imitating Lewis now, I'm still on board. Everyone else can do whatever they want with him given other available options.

Is it worth adding Kamara or Chris Carson in a 10 team league? My RB are pretty weak, have Rawls so I would probably be guaranteed to get Seattle's starter, but if it is a committee it does not matter. I was surprised how many plays Kamara was in, but might just be situational since they were down all game.

Tiptoes
Apr 30, 2006

You are my underwater, underwater friends!
Carson is a deep bench stash but is still going to need another Rawls injury to have value so it depends on the roster. Seattle's system can really rack up some nice running numbers though so I think if Carson gets the chance, he could turn into something real. I have him stashed in most of my 12 team leagues. Kamara is a borderline flex play in PPR formats already but won't pop so much in a 10 team league. He has his own role to play in the Saints passing game though so that part is nice and reliable.

I am deeply concerned that Cohen will be bent into a pretzel by week 5. He's 10lb smaller than Sproles was and only logged half the bench reps Sproles did. So weaker and even smaller and oh god :psyduck:

Sixteen-team standard league, three-man benches.

My main RBs are Ajayi and Ingram, WRs are Dez and Ty Williams. Cohen will probably be my flex this week, and I also have Derrick Henry benched.

Who is the drop for a kicker:

Snead
Kamara
Marquise Lee

I was kind of leaning Snead because it's hard to carry a suspended guy with such short benches, but maybe I'm underestimating his value when he gets back. Or maybe since it's standard the drop is Kamara....or maybe it's Lee since Jacksonville will basically never throw?? You see my issue.

What's the platform (Yahoo, espn, etc)? People are going to want to make sure that you still had the money in your bank (if another transaction went through first putting you below $65 you obviously can't bid 65.) Showing them the FAAB bids report would prove you had it.

Is it bad form to play 3 members (or more) of the same team? I can see if they all have a bad game then I'm completely hosed, as one is a QB. Specifically talking about Drew Brees, Fleener, and Kamara. I have Sproles in my flex and am thinking about replacing him with Kamara on a week-to-week basis.

Fournette is talented enough to at least put up 25/80 when he gets all those touches. Or a nice Todd Gurley stat line of 25/50 with a TD. Crowell blows and Hopkins is as unreliable as TPS.

The only problem I noted watching him Sunday was that he really doesn't give a poo poo about his body. He could easily be one of those perennially injured RBs.
