Hey guys! I'm having a good time, what about you?

KingKapalone posted:

How often do people switch out kickers? Should I always try to switch into the highest ranked one available according to Fantasy Pros? I have Dan Bailey and could go for Mason Crosby.

Generally every week, except for the weeks I don't. gently caress kickers.

e for actual advice: I look at Vegas o/u lines and try to grab a kicker from the highest scoring games. Further narrowing it down is mostly a gut feeling based off of an imagined game script, weather/dome, or whatever I ate that day.

My league is FAAB so I'll queue up 2-3 $0 bids in order of preference and if any go through then I'm cool with it.

Greg Olsen to IR.

Are people holding onto Olsen without an IR spot?

12 team standard league and the WW is pretty barren for TEs, so I'm considering holding him but could use another bench spot.

^ drop him and set an alarm to pick him up 2 weeks ahead of his return

***

In .5 ppr, who is droppable for Buck Allen? I'm 1-1, 6th waiver position, max 7 RBs per team.

RBs (rank):

Freeman (7)
Tarik Cohen (10)
James White (16)
Ingram (22)
JStew (22)
Crowell (37)
Fat Rob (46)

How I see them RoS:
T1: Freeman
T2: Cohen/Crow/Rob/White
T3: Ingram/Jstew

I can make cases (or just hopeful excuses) for keeping everyone below Freeman but I know Buck will be more productive than any number of them. I need external opinions on this - I have a crippling inability to look at my RBs objectively.

I wouldn't hold him without an IR spot. Jones fractures are no joke; there is no guarantee that he even plays again this year, let alone plays well..

I have an IR spot, but David Johnson is in it, so same situation, and I'm not holding him.

Okay I pulled the trigger. Gave away Riddick and Parker and got Landry. 1 PPR 14 team league.

Leaves my optimum lineup as:

QB - Mariota
RB - Ty Monty
RB - Hunt
WR - Alshon
WR - Tyreek
TE - Gronk
Flex - Landry
D/ST - who cares
K - who cares

Bench - DJ, Buck Allen, Rivers, Crowder, Moncrief, Blount.

And I'll be trying to get Carson and Perine on waivers (dropping Blount).

Did I gently caress up?

1 PPR you should be fine. Especially if Landry keeps getting targetted like he did last year. I probably would of tried Parker straight up, buy if Carson and Perine are both available the roster spot should be good.

Ninja: Also how are those guys available in your league? In my 14 team they have been on rosters for at least a week+ now.

Riddick is the perfect plug in bench flex play though. His floor in PPR is like 8 points. I'm probably higher on Riddick than most though.

I have no idea how they're still available. I think like 4 people don't pay any attention and another 4 are just bad at fantasy football.

Only Carson is available in my other 14 team league.

How deep is your bench? If you can keep Hilton until Luck returns without eating like WR 40 lottery plays I would do that.

The thing is...as a Colts fan, I don't think Luck is coming back this year. They're probably not putting him on IR so they can still sell tickets, but I'd be shocked if they brought him back this year.

So I wouldn't be trying to buy any shares of Indianapolis aside from Jack Doyle...and even then I wouldn't trade for him, just pick him up off FA.

Full roster:

QB: Carr
RB: Jordan Howard, Tarik Cohen, Darren Sproles, Jamaal Charles
WR: AJ Green, Keenan Allen, Demaryius Thomas, Jarvis Landry, Pierre Garcon, Tyrell Williams
TE: Gronk

So I'm stacked at WR and could certainly hold TY while starting Green/Allen/Landry every week. I'm just thinking I should try to find a better deal for Demaryius, because I'm not convinced Luck is going to be back any time soon.

It's not like Cooper is on Brown, Evans, OBJ or Julio's level. Last year I had him in two leagues and it was maddening watching the Raiders throw it to 11 different people throughout the game and their penchant for throwing TDs to people not named Amari Cooper.

Never again for me with Amari.

I was arguing about Amari with my buddy on Saturday night. Told him Amari is over-hyped every year and that Crabtree is always better for a cheaper ADP. He didn't believe me. Lo and behold come Sunday...

So everyone here is down in Powell right?

I just got an offer of my S. Watkins for his B. Powell.

Im not sold on it but I'm thinking of countering with Chris Hogan.

RB: Gurley, Ingram, Chris Carson, Burkhead, Woodhead
WR: Crabtree, K. Allen, Diggs, Watkins, Hogan

Is this even a player I should be touching?

Just traded away Maclin for Wentz. Even with small benches, everyone is holding on to multiple QBs leaving practically nothing on the waiver. I'm also scared Cousins is gonna be trash this year, I need a QB for week 5, and I'm all in on Philly.

12 team .5ppr leaves me with:

QB: Wentz, Cousins
RB: Howard, Anderson, Gore, Quizz, Henry
WR: Jeffery, Fitz, Watkins, Snead
TE: Gronk, Ertz
DST: Broncos
K: Whatever

I'm pretty thin at WR, but I'm committed to running double TE as long as I can, and trading one of them if I get a good enough offer.
