Drop Kamara and how the crap did you end up with both Raiders WR's and both Jag's WR's? Package one of each together and go get another RB.

The Raiders receivers both just fell to me at the draft and I wasn't paying enough attention to who I already had. It was actually working out pretty well with one of them having a big game until this past week. Jax was just waiver pickups after Allen Robinson died.

Thanks for the advice, will drop Kamara.

I think Miller has some value left, will try to package him with Cooper.

So I think I caught my commissioner cheating. We're in a Yahoo league where waivers generally run early Wednesday morning. When they ran today I noticed something weird. Two transactions ran an hour before the others and picked up free agents rather than waiver claims. Both of these claims were by the commissioner, who happens to be 0-3. The two other teams that made moves are now 11 and 12 on waiver priority but the commissioner is still sitting at 3rd.
Here's a screenshot:



This seems sketchy as poo poo, but I wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything simple before I call him out.

Yahoo's waivers process at 3am eastern, but they aren't actually logged until an hour or so often. You can pick up the FAs as of 3:01, so as long as a guy didn't have a claim on him, he can be picked up before the Waivers actually go through and show up in the transaction log.

That's probably confusing to read, but he didn't cheat.

Don't feel bad, we had a huge argument in my league last year over the same thing. It definitely looks sketchy as hell before you realize how it all works.

Yeah it's pretty weird to see in a transaction log. My league had a similar issue a few years back when someone did something similar, they weren't commish though.


I do wish Yahoo let me put in waiver claims for people. Extremely hard to run a team for a person in jail when I can't make waiver claims for him, only FA moves. Their menu for that also sucks.

If you had thrown a temper tantrum, I hope you would have made the point that he cheated over a defense, which is barely better than doing it over a kicker.

Wanted to ask this again:

Non-ppr, ESPN. I have Gillislee to try and trade for a WR since I have Zeke, Ajayi, and Gordon as RBs. One guy is interested and has Antonio Brown and Keenan Allen.

To get Allen I feel like I'd need to offer Gillislee as well as Devante Parker, my WR2. I could also maybe try one of my top RBs plus maybe Parker for Brown? Any ideas?

If it takes Parker and Gillislee to make the trade work, you should definitely be seeking the better player or an extra piece in the trade.

I love Allen, but in Non-PPR I'm not sure his range of outcomes is vastly above Parker. Maybe target the Diggs owner with a similar offer. I doubt you snare Brown with that.

Honestly, I would see if I could sell Ajayi in a package deal for AB84. I trust him the least of your running backs going forward. See if Ajayi/Parker would do anything. Go big or go home!

Strongly disagree with the bolded, even in non PPR, but the difference between them is definitely much smaller than Gillislee.

Keenan Allen rules in PPR but has not brought the touchdowns this year or really the yards even. I think he would be a lateral move from Parker. In your place I might offer Ajayi and Parker for Brown, but I doubt the Brown owner goes for it. I would keep Gordon for sure, and wait another week or so for clarity on Zeke (not just legal stuff but because he seems to have regressed a bit from last year).

Howard AND Tarik, and also the packers defense for some reason.

I really hate the packers defense start, but the other options are Dallas, Tennessee, Tampa, and Detroit. Bleh.

I'm tempted, but everyone has them rated so lowly. They're playing on the road in that crazy MIN stadium, and Keenum tore up TB last week. But it seems a bit rich to expect Keenum to tear it up twice in a row.

No way. Their score lies about how good they are unless they can miraculously come up with a pick 6 every week.

Do people think Hilton can keep it going this week against Seattle? Or that he'll regress back to first two weeks production until Luck gets back? I need to start 3 out of Hilton, DT, Sanders, and Garcon, and I'm leaning towards Hilton being the odd man out.

And yes, I'm trying to shop DT for a RB, but no takers so far.

Dez Bryant saw zero targets in Patrick Peterson's coverage on MNF. Next WR in Peterson's shadow: Pierre Garcon.
