Overture posted:I'm one of those people who ended up starting Hunt (not knowing what to expect) because of Ajayi's forced bye-week one. While I'm very glad to have lucked out big time with Hunt as well as some other RB's who were much lower rated during our draft (Cook, CJA), if Ajayi doesn't produce this week I'm not sure what I'm going to do with him. Maybe trade to someone who really needs a RB, but because I was pick #3 I ended up going WR/WR for AB and M. Thomas, so I am fine at WR. #firstworldfantasyproblems Week 1: Hurricane. Week 2: 122 Rush Yards - 16 pts. Sometimes TD's don't happen. Week 3: Really loving weird game where the Jets beat down the Dolphins somehow. The Jets have also had a mean front 4 the past 3-4 years despite their current tanking situation. It's not that crazy.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Hard to say. Probably Doctson for the following reasons: I lean the other way: 1) Fuller is guaranteed target volume from the time he steps foot on the field -- last season he averaged around 7 targets per game he played. Doctson has never had more than 2. 2) While you're right that Crowder and Pryor have not been good, the bulk of the targets have been going to Thompson and Reed -- and I doubt that Doctson is going to threaten their target share. Crowder and Pryor have been averaging 12 targets per game between the two of them. RB/TE crew have been pulling in about 14. Ryan grant has 12 targets over 3 weeks; his ~4 per game might be available to Doctson, but he's been performing better as well. 3) Fuller is likely to start at a full or near full snap count, while Doctson is still restricted. Fuller's role on the team is such that he would be expected to play all snaps, while Doctson is still trying to grow into that role. 4) Fuller has had several good games, showing that he has the skills to be a fulltime starter. His 7/81/2 (1 punt return TD, 1 passing) certainly showed his ceiling. We haven't seen anything close from Doctson. I don't think Doctson is *bad*, but as a In my league, in spite of the rookie QB, hopkins is currently WR12 and his target share has been declining while other WRs have been getting additional volume -- volume that is likely to belong to Fuller on his return. 7 targets per game and not getting the top coverage is a pretty solid place to exploit matchups looking at ceiling (and floor I suppose), versus unclear snap count / target share. e: last thought. Skins play KC this week, so I definitely don't expect much if anything out of the passing game. So it's probably safer to wager that Doctson would still be there after this week if you wanted to grab fuller, see how he does, and decide.

Zauper posted:I lean the other way: Sup fellow DC fan. Glad to see I'm not alone. gently caress the name. I agree that Fuller could be a stud, and your post convinced me to drop John Brown for him. I'd like to go over your numbers a bit more: 1. It's impossible to really establish a historical precedent for Fuller given that this is a new year with a new quarterback. Doctson has only been in 5 games and has been slow to come about. In this case I look at scenario and talent. Both are first round talents, but Doctson's scenario with no clear WR and a superior QB and offensive line is better. 2. Thompson getting all those targets is a very new thing and there's no guarantee it's sustainable. Reed is constantly hurt, and he can easily threaten that target share by being what he was drafted to be. Gruden also emphasized that he has no plans to change Thompson's role. 3. No argument here. That said I wouldn't be surprised to see Doctson's snap count steadily increase, or even jump significantly now that he's proven he can do some good things on the field. 4. Both are first round picks and Fuller has absolutely demonstrated that talent while Doctson has barely been on the field. TBH I think this is the week to grab Doctson, because if he does well you'll get a stash and if he does poorly you can just dump him and know he'll be on the WW next week because it's a bye and he hasn't done poo poo. Tiptoes posted:I think you make good points about Fuller but as for this, now is definitely the time to stash Doctson if you're inclined to. A lot of people are curious about whether Washington is going to make some changes to their offense soon. Maybe not this week but they've got their bye afterwards where they could conceivably shake things up. Given the lack of strong waiver wire options, Doctson has been mentioned a lot on podcasts and in articles this week and I've seen him get picked up in multiple leagues. Exactly.

3 DONG HORSE posted:Redskins experts, what are your thoughts on Crowder? I have him in 3 leagues because I'm an idiot. He suffers from the same problem any player not named Reed has; Cousins will spread the wealth around and there's no guarantee that any particular player will stand out. He sees his targets and catches most of them, but he isn't terribly reliable. I wouldn't trust him as anything beyond a flex. I am in four leagues and didn't draft a single player from Washington.

3 DONG HORSE posted:Redskins experts, what are your thoughts on Crowder? I have him in 3 leagues because I'm an idiot. I like but don't trust him, largely for the same reasons as beer. Last season he did well, and averaged about 6 targets per game - same as he's doing currently - but also was a primary red zone target, especially when reed was out. However, he inexplicably had 4(?) Ish games with 3 or fewer targets, and put up under 5 points for weeks 14-17. Some of his bad receiving weeks were bailed out by the return role he doesn't have anymore. Offense was moving again last week and he saw 6 targets, but fumbled again. He's going to have weeks he's startable. I just don't have any thoughts on how to predict them. He's also going to be fighting with Ryan Grant and doctson for targets, as the two of them approve. He's had more targets than Pryor for the last two weeks. But does he have the skills to beat the top CB if he emerges as the number one? Last year he was the number three, and fantasy performance was based on his efficiency in catching targets.

I think the Washington offense has the potential to be strong, but a huge part of that strength is because Cousins has so many weapons. He has shown a willingness to spread the ball around, which means outside of Cousins himself any start is a potential landmine. What I didn't expect was for the defense to make such a strong showing. I shouldn't be surprised given that they finally don't have any injuries and booted out their loser DC (WE COULD HAVE HAD loving WADE PHILLIPS WHAT THE gently caress GRUDEN), but the defense could also help the offense get more plays.

True. The strength of the running game has also been a bit of a surprise to me, and hurts cousins fantasy value. When fat Kelley returns and is 100% he's a safe start I think. I had expected cousins to come out stronger, honestly.

In 0.5 PPR, if you had one of these guys: -Gurley (7th Rd next year) -McCoy (3rd Rd next year) -Freeman (1st Rd next year) Who would you trade for one of these: -Julio (1st round next year) -Demaryius (5th round next year) -OBJ (Can't be kept) -Alshon (3rd round next year) I'm stacked with backup/lottery bench RBs (Cohen, Foreman, Abdullah, Henry) so I've got decent options if I ship one of these RBs out.
