Is anyone avoiding Wilson this weekend? With the way they struggled against GB, I have to think the Jags (?!) are going to just tee off on them.

Seattle is playing the 9ers. I don't own any shares of Wilson, but I'd be starting him if I did.

Oh cool, I'm facing Le'Veon in 3 of 5 leagues this week. Can't wait for the Steelers to force feed him the ball to make up for Week 1.

Alternatively, if he has another dud I've hit the lottery.

Vikings front four is very good, if he does any damage I'd expect it to come in the passing game.

Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Jimmy T.
If it makes you feel better I dropped Ebron for Clay but decided to stand pat with Eifert.

I dropped Marvin Jones for Clay because I got paranoid about Erzurum getting hurt. Now I have TE depth but my WR situation is even shakier.

If I could get Cooper for dropping Zach Ertz....

I was wondering how this could happen, but then I saw Cooper isn't on the can't-cut list on ESPN nor NFL.com. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

NFL.com's list is hilarious. You can drop McCoy or Melvin Gordon if you want!

I've never really understood the concept of an "undroppable" list. Anyone dropping a premiere player is tanking and should be thrown out of the league, and otherwise, why second-guess owners' decisions?

Yeah, he's expected back after their Week 10 bye.

I'm so desperate for RBs that I'm actually considering offering some junk for him just to stash him on IR.

For the same reason that we have motorcycle helmet laws and warnings on cat food that say "not for human consumption." People are dumb and will drop players after one bad game, no matter how good they are or how high they drafted them.

Wilson owner also has Brady and starting Maclin, Jordan Matthews, and Crowder. Other owner starts Stafford.

Wasn't Peyton Manning considered undroppable when he was hurt and it remained that way for a long while? I seem to remember people being pissed about that.

You would think. Then again Sproles is from KC and playing the Chiefs for the last time most likely and also may be a problem for that defense.

Should I drop Burkhead for D'Onta Foreman? Or is all the talk out of Houston just talk? I do have Lamar Miller in that league so it would be handcuff as well. Other RB are: Dalvin Cook, Abdullah, Jaamal Williams.

It is a salary cap dynasty league, if I pick up Foreman now would have no claim on him for next year, if I wait until next week and bid on him (we have a strange system, one round of blind bids then FCFS) and win then I would have him under contract for next year but risk losing the bid.

They may just run him out there as a decoy. Something to think about. If he plays you pretty much have to start him I'd imagine.

I wouldn't. I am not super high on Burkhead but he did nearly have a TD.

He hasn't really shown much to suggest he would do anything with the role. I agree neither are particularly appealing.

One of my leaguemates was discussing trades and suggested my Mike Evans for his DeMarco Murray and Alshon Jeffrey. My RBs are McCoy, Mixon, Powell, and Riddick, and my WRs are Evans, Hilton, Pryor, DeVante Parker, Ginn, and Kupp. Is this a no brainer? Jeffrey will most likely come around, but what's the backfield look like in Tennessee? I know Henry has a decent chance to steal carries. Thanks!

He plays Monday night, I'm probably going to sit him this week. I can't afford a zero. I think there's a much higher chance he scores under 5 points than over.

I agree. With that in mind what would you do if you had Rawls, Luck, Prosise, and Burkhead on your bench and these players were on the WW:

Alvin Kamara (Sunday)
Buck Allen (Sunday)
Bilal Powell (Saturday)
Paul Perkins (Saturday)
Charles Sims
Marlon Mack (Saturday)
Chris Carson

The days in parenthesis are when they come off waivers, and I have the top pick among people likely to make a claim. That means if I want Kamara or Allen I would need to skip Powell.

Thoughts?

Doltos

I picked up Buck Allen even though he seems like an underwhelming talent. I'm in a PPR league though.

The most lottery seems to be Kamara because of the offense he's in and that they're giving him passing duty nods over Ingram. He can easily be replaced at any minute through rookie foibles and established guys like Ingram. Marlon Mack seems to be in the same deal but on a worse team.

This is my hope. Sadly I won't hold my breath though as the Jets are going to suck and I wouldn't be surprised if at some point they at least test the waters with their Rookie RB.
