Even for a 10-team league this is an absurdly stacked team. I don't think you can go wrong with either side of the trade, just go with your gut. But I have to ask about what kind of people you're drafting with here. Is this a keeper league or something? How did you end up with 3 consensus first rounders on your team?

montgomery's ribs might be broken but green bay will not go into their next game with only two rbs, one of whom is a fullback., so i'd grab him if you have an empty slot but it's a decent chance he winds up splitting carries with a free agent.

Aaron Jones is pretty clearly a better RB than Jamaal Williams. Explosive, good measureables, dangerous in the passing game. I'd add him, but I fully expect stupid motherfucker, Mike McCarthy to go trade for Eddie Lacy or Knile Davis or some stupid poo poo like that. Assuming Ty Mont and J. Williams can't go.

There is potential for Jones to be a starting RB on an NFL team which makes him light years more valuable than Morris and Burkhead rn. I would pick him up. The cost is literally just the worst player on your roster.

I drafted with people who ended up with good teams. I just had some luck.

I was #5 out of 10 in the draft.

- I drafted LeSean McCoy in the 1st
- Aaron Rodgers & Brady went in the 1st round to the old timers. Baldwin went at the front of the 2nd, so AJ Green slipped to me in the 2nd.
- Demariyus Thomas & Keenan were my next picks. SOMEHOW Gurley was there in the 5th, so I took him.

I declined his offer and told him he could have Diggs or Martin, but not both. Also that I'd throw in Abdullah and KBenjamin too. He hasn't responded yet.

I win even if he doesn't take any trade from me. The only way I lose is if he trades one of them to someone else. But last I heard, he was firing off trade offers of Brady for everyone's first rounders, so yeah...

He ended up wanting to do Rodgers for Diggs/KBenjamin. Which is p good, but it would only leave me with two WR on my roster. If one of them got hurt (or both!) I would be in a really bad position WR-wise...

WW only has scrubs like Shepard, Hurns, and Sanu.

It's a pretty equitable trade, either way. This could possibly benefit both teams "equally" depending on how their rosters are built.

If you're in nonPPR sure. His value comes from higher than average volume targets, with some potential upside now that Ty is out (Rodgers has somehow managed to share the targets near equally across Ty, Bennett, Cobb, Jordy, and Davante). His red zone stats are also decent, it just happens that on those touchdown slant routes defenses are collapsing on him instead of Jordy.

Ah, you're playing with morons, got it.

I'd say you're pretty close to on cruise control to 1st. I'm sure some others have good teams as well but you've effectively got like 5 1st/2nd round picks which means there are some chumps out there with 0 or 1.

If you're not in a pretty deep league and you don't have Gronk, Kelce, Ertz, or maybe Kyle Rudolph or Jimmy Graham, then you're basically in streaming TE territory. I would absolutely not be afraid to cut Bennett for someone with a better matchup. The one exception here might be if you're in a league where weirdos all roster two TEs and the guys on the WW are total crap.

With Corey Davis out I think Matthews is absolutely the dude this week. I have him in my DFS lineups and like him to find the end zone this week.

Most 10 man leagues I've noticed always have a homer or two who always over reach leaving plenty of good stuff later on.

That's also pretty crazy especially because of how Hunt and Cook have worked out. Basically 1st rounder (Evans) 1st rounder (Julio), 3rd rounder (Hunt), 3rd rounder (Cook) but hunt and cook are looking more like 1st/2nd rounders.

But at this early stage I'm going to have to give the nod to the other guy with his 1st (lesean), 1st (Julio), 2nd (gurley), 2nd (AJ), 2nd (jordy).

Congrats to both of you though, that's pretty cool. I'm in a 10 man and a 12 man every year and there's pretty much zero homerism or doing silly poo poo.

I hate to say it but I think you have to go with Amari. Those other three are more bust than boom. I would say you could try Willie Snead but he was apparently limited in practice today with a hamstring injury.

Montgomery owner has no running backs. He's got Jock Jizz, and Fat Rob.

He's also an AB owner. So I'd like to trade for AB while giving him a RB or two.

My current roster:
RB: Howard, Mixon, Coleman, Buck Allen
WR: Thomas, Alshon, Thielen, Hogan, Marshall, Crowder

His current roster:
RB: Ty, Fat Rob, Jock Jizz
WR: AB, Cobb, Tate, Landry, Lee, C.Davis

I really like Mixon going forward which is why I'm more than willing to part with Howard. This is 1ppr, 14 team league I should mention.

I'm thinking of offering my Howard, and maybe Allen as well for his AB. Is that too little? The guy literally has nothing at

I'm sure there's a trade to be had there that benefits both parties, I'm just awful at this.

Amari Cooper is killing me. I had him as a 6th round keeper this year and thought I was going to run wild over the league and he's performed about like you would expect from a 6th-round WR (maybe even worse). I've been trying to trade him but he has no trade value right now. UNless something changes he's not even the WR1 in Oakland. I'd probably keep starting him for another week or two on the "start your studs" theory but I'd also be losing patience fast. You could be completely forgiven for starting Alshon or Matthews over him this week.
