Brownhat: Jan 25, 2012; One cannot be a good person and enforce unjust laws.

Liquid Banjo posted:

I give:
Cousins, McKinnon

I get:
Brees

Is that fair? Is Brees worth it? Here's the rest of my team.

QB: Cousins
WR: Hilton, Diggs, Cooper, R. Matthews, Fuller
RB: Bell, Martin, Ingram, Stewart, McKinnon, Smallwood
TE: ASJ

That's selling kinda low on McKinnon, depending on your scoring.

What's your record and scoring? PPR?

Standard, 4pt QB TD, 0PPR. I'm sitting pretty at 5-1.

I like Brees schedule for fantasy playoffs but now that I think of it, McKinnon's value might be too high.

Cousins will be just as valuable as Brees, and giving up McKinnon means you are on the losing side of this trade.

IcePhoenix: Sep 18, 2005; Take me to your Shida

Starting to overthink stuff regarding OBJ in a keeper again

10 team keep 3 PPR with bonuses at yardage milestones. Players cost one round higher between years, first rounders can be kept in the first round. I have OBJ (1), Gurley (4), and DJ (5) and am still 5-1 with my lone loss being by less than a point this week. I drafted Thielen in the 13th round this year, am I crazy for trying to sell OBJ to someone who's out of it to try and get an RB or WR2? My current roster:

QB: Wentz
WR: Dez, Hopkins, Thielen, D. Adams, OBJ
RB: Gurley, Riddick, Smalwood, Mack, DJ
TE: Ertz
K and D don't matter

We start 3 WR 2 RB and 1 W/R/T flex

You're right, no reason to abandon Cousins here. Thanks.

Need to shift some RB depth to WR using McKinnon I think. Is Demaryius shooting too low? Alternatively, the guy with Baldwin needs some help at RB.

Our league never trades and I'm really bad at this poo poo of course.

Demaryius is good trade up. He's got a great schedule and should get more looks with Emmanuel Sanders out.

You might be able to get someone like that for Doug Martin straight up, i'd start with something like that

thrawn527: Mar 27, 2004; Thrawn/Pellaeon
Studying the art of terrorists
To keep you safe

McKinnon and Engram finally have me breathing easy at my two biggest trouble spots, at least for now. I picked Cousins up as a FA last week to cover Russell Wilson's bye week. And now I'm wondering who to hold for rest of season.

I lean Cousins ROS, though this week I may want to hold onto Wilson for just one more week for his game against the Giants. Philly proved effective against Cousins in week 1.

Epi Lepi: Oct 29, 2009; You can hear the voice

Rip Rodgers and my team maybe? In .5 PPR I have

QB: Aaron Rodgers
RB: Kareem Hunt, DeMarco Murray, Derrick Henry, Alex Collins, Thomas Rawls, Buck Allen
WR: Jordy Nelson, Jeremy Maclin, Emmanuel Sanders, Will Fuller, Kenny Golladay
TE: Cameron Brate, Austin Seferian-Jenkins

I actually squeaked out a win this past week which is cool but I now have the 11th waiver priority.

The best Waiver QBs seem to be Carson Palmer, Jared Goff, Josh McCown, Tyrod Taylor and Trevor Siemian. What order do I go after them or do I try to trade for a QB?

There's an owner with both Marcus Mariota and Dak Prescott and another owner with Alex Smith and Russell Wilson. Both are 3-3 and have okay teams. Or I can probably trade ASJ to the Jets homer for Jacoby Brisset maybe. His regular starter is Kirk Cousins.

This is a rough week beyond QB for me as my only WRs who might play are Nelson and Maclin and there's a chance Maclin is still hurt.

I am just not sure at all what to do.

Goff -> Tyrod -> Palmer.

Mariota guy won't trade. Mariota has Cleveland(easy matchup) this week and a bye next week. He needs Dak. Don't trade for Brisset with Luck coming back.

Even if he doesn't, trading for Brissett just isn't a good idea when there are better options on the wire.

I have Deshaun (bye), Jameis (hurt, bad matchup) and am targeting the Mariota/Cousins) owner.

Don�t trade ASJ for a waiver QB.

I need to make a waiver move. I need a WR way worse than a potential RB2.

Would you grab Darkwa or Agholor? My hesitation is that I think Darkwa might be the real deal now.

This is my thinking too, thanks. I offered Garcon for Matt Ryan in a league where I'm QB needy (and have AJ Green, Demaryius, Landry, Garcon, Martavis at WR) and he countered with Landry. I think they're pretty close, but the combination of Landry already having had his bye, and us not knowing how Beathard will affect Garcon has me leaning Jarvis.

Thinking of playing hardball and saying Garcon or bust.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I own Landry and he's my WR1 right now with Manny hurt. Trying to get Baldwin or Gar�on off the Zeke owner.

WR: Dez Bryant, Doug Baldin, Demaryius Thomas, Willie Snead, John Brown

Not sure you can afford that. Behind Gordon, you've got too many question marks. You're better off keeping your shot at AP being for real again, and getting a solidified RB2.

Hmm, I guess if you need a WR, you grab Agholor. If ASJ is not your best TE, I'd take Darkwa over him too, but then every time he scores a touchdown, spoeank's av will haunt you.
