Ajayi is my flex. I could possibly package him with TY to get Jordy or Gronk (my current TE is Graham).

But, now TY is a hold with Luck possibly coming back in 2 weeks?

KICKER TALK - I hate myself for even asking:

Should I drop Mariota for Watson?

Hm one RB with a questionable future + one WR with a questionable future I won't want to use for two weeks or one of two of the top-ten pass catchers in the NFL, both of which are the apple of a top three QB's eye

Legatron and no. He' might be out a couple weeks at worst I don't see that being worth dropping him.

What do we realllly think about Latavius Murray?

Blount hit the waivers but will be on them for an extra couple of days. I've got #5 waiver. But, I'd have to pass on Latavius Murray, Ellington, Funchess, Green Bay Jones, Green Bay Allison, Lacy, Gallman, Rawls, Collins, and most importantly Jake Elliott.....to be in a position to get Blount (his waiver is Friday). Which, if the dudes in front of me don't make any moves, then I can't get him anyways. I'm just counting on them biting on the hot waiver pickups this week.

Well. Latavius Murray cleared waivers somehow even though there was 9 waiver moves 🤷🏻‍♂️

Puts me in waiver #3 for Blount...but waiver #1 & #2 are also Eagles fans, but negligent fantasy football owners.... tune in for next weeks episode!

Dropped my kicker to grab Alfred Morris this morning just in case. Anyone that is RB needy and has a free bench spot/kicker to drop might want to do the same. I doubt Zeke ends up serving that suspension this year, but you never know.

Anyone think Murray will right the ship this season?

Thinking of trying to package a deal together with Ajayi and a WR for Murray to the guy who is 0-4 and desperate but not sure if it's worth it in the long term

Legatron got picked up in waivers in both my leagues. I don't think I've ever seen anyone use a waiver claim on a kicker before...

Demarco? No. I'd keep Ajayi. I think he breaks out soon. The Dolphins have flown to LA, London, and NY. This is their first home game and I hope they'll be a little bit better.

I'd hold him for at least another week, personally. Who is your next best drop candidate? (The real answer is drop Bryant)

People are actually rostering backup kickers for some reason so I don't want to be left with like Robbie Gould or something for the rest of the season if I drop him.

Also I just realized Eric Decker is still on my roster so that was an easy decision.

This is stupid. Drop your kicker.

Edit: I mean yea Decker is certainly droppable, but keeping a backup kicker is absolutely ridiculous.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

I'm in a 14 team league and I have Crowder who is done worse than bad since he has had two weeks of negative points. I'm thinking of dropping him, but the waiver wire is atrocious, I hate playing in a league this big.

The only guys I see worth picking up are Bryce Butler, Robby Anderson, or Smith-Schuster. Does Crowder have any upside at all this season? He's sitting on my bench until he finally has a decent game, but I'm debating just outright swapping him out for one of these guys.

Having 2 kickers on your team at any point is bad. It is the opposite of being smart.

Dealing in absolutes and being completely unwilling to adjust your strategy based on what other teams are doing is a really fast way to lose leagues. I'll be ok without having my sixth receiver for a week.

I'm doing the same thing to get by Lutz's bye week. Dropped Decker for a temporary kicker. Don't want to drop Lutz since he's #2 kicker in the league right now.

I'm going to pass on throwing Martin out there in his first game back. Doesn't seem right.

Having said that, I seemed to have covered my RB options too well. Fuller is out there on FA and I'd rather drop one of Ingram, Smallwood or Aaron Jones for him.

12-team standard.

Is he worth it or should I sit tight?

You've got it reversed. Just like in a draft, if there's a run on QB's, you don't follow suit and grab a QB early, you take advantage and grab whatever good RB/WR that is still available because everyone is taking QB's.

If everyone is rostering two kickers (or defenses, or tight ends, or quarterbacks), that means there are a bunch of actually useful players available that you can use to win your league.

All of a sudden Ty Montgomery AND Jamaal Williams might play this week. Aaron Jones is probably droppable.

Definitely don't drop Ingram.

I went FAAB bargain bin shopping and got Gallman and Breida (I own Hyde). Murray went for 206$ out of 500. I didn't even need to pull my bid of 165. I'm still top 3 in leftover budget.

Next up I need to get rid of Britt and Beasley.

There's a pretty good break down on Crowder about 3-4 pages ago (look for whoever quoted me). I'm still holding onto him but I'm really close to cutting him. I am waiting until at least after their bye.

I dropped Crowder this week. No reason having a worthless WR on bye sitting on my bench this week. I doubt anyone claims him and I'll just grab him if needed later this week or put in a low waiver claim for him next if news comes out saying he isn't going to suck after a week off.

Yep. The problem is we have no FA period, its straight up bidding, twice a week (Wed and Sunday). this is our first year doing FAAB and after I proposed it, the league Napoleon took over and got in the commish's ear about how we need to get rid of FA so THERE'S GUYS ON THE WIRE and WELP there's like, nothing on the wire.
