Sorry, it's not PPR.

Mainly my question is do we not know if DMC or Morris would be the starter? I suppose I can just wait until 10/30 given the lack of strong waiver picks plus I'm 8th in line.

It is a mystery

Okay couple things i need some help with. I'm shuffling around my bench, would you use a waiver claim(currently 5th) on any of these guys? and also who else would you grab once waivers clears?




WR: AB84, Fat Kelvin, Thielan
RB: Zeke, Fournette, Marlon Mack, Smallwood
TE: Gronk, Olsen (IR)


Thinking Golladay, Maclin, and Corey Davis?

I have Zeke and still have DMC and Morris. Should I drop one of them? Not sure if there's anyone worth picking up right now anyway. Here's the top available WRs (non-PPR) based on rank (don't think I need any RBs):


I mean, how are you doing in that league? Playoff position, don't need any emergency adds to survive this week's byenado? Why not wait it out one more week and see how it all shakes out. I mean, you've held on to all three for this long, if you're solid then finish strong.

If you need to fill in a flex or something, Schuster. I couldn't tell you which Dallas backup to drop, though.

Hi fantasy idiot here: Is DeAndre Hopkins likely to get shut down by Seattle? I feel like that's a spot where I'm going to end up with less than a point and would be better off starting a lesser player this week. I'd start my other good receivers, except they both seem to be stuck on putrid offenses at the moment. So I'm leaning toward two TEs, something I don't think I've ever done before. If Sanders is good to go I'll probably swap him for Cohen

Roster (Active/Relevant Players)
Current Starters:
Mike Evans
Nelson Agholor
Devonta Freeman
Alvin Kamara
Jason Witten
Tarik Cohen
DeAndre Hopkins

A little cross-country, gentlemen?

1 PPR league. I'm looking to upgrade my RB2 spot from Duke Johnson (RB11). I'm strong at WR (Antonio Brown, Mike Evans, Larry Fitzgerald, Jarvis Landry, Corey Davis) and I'm considering packaging Duke plus one of my WRs to try to trade to a team that has a good RB and not much else. I'm willing to overpay a bit but would it be too much of an overpay to do something like Duke + Fitz for Chris Thompson (RB7)? Palmer's injury has me a little pessimistic about Fitz's prospects ROS. Other possible trade targets include Hyde, Fournette, Gordon, possibly Freeman (is Freeman even an upgrade right now?).

Dont sit your studs. I get that Seattle is a great defense, but the Texana currently have the best offense in football, are getting their best lineman back, and had an extra week to plan for this game.

Speaking of hopkins I was offered a trade today in .5ppr.

My Watson and Kelvin Benjamin for
His Hopkins and Mixon

My other qb is Cousins. My current rbs are Howard, Peterson, Gore, Henry. My Wrs are Jeffery, Fitz, Benjamin. I feel like I take this, use Mixon as my rb2 the wr/qb tradeoff seems like a wash if not slightly in my favor.

Honestly, I kind of agree that there is a marginal benefit to evaluating kickers. The problem is I get a greater benefit from my burgeoning alcoholism. One day, I hope to combine the two. It probably won't be this season though.

Yep, I am, and actually don't have a super easy drop (but it's a shallow, small league). Bengals and Eagles were available, went with Eagles.

A little cross-country, gentlemen?

My Jags D/ST, kicker, and single IDP are all on bye and I only have one easy drop on my bench. I'm thinking of using my drop to pick up Goff to cover Brady's bye next week (my opponent next week is exactly the type to cock block me on that if I don't do it ahead of time). I'll probably just go without a D/ST in my lineup this week.

It would be like 6 or 7 points in what is a cupcake matchup this week. I'd rather set myself up with a decent QB for next week as I'm playing possibly the best or second best team in the league, a guy I always relish beating but who has a great team every year. Outside of the playoffs that's the one game I circle on the calendar.

They are probably going to go back to the norm on takeaways and tds, but their schedule from here on out is pretty fantastic.

I don't know what you want. There is nothing besides common sense and random for kickers.
Heres the order of kickers to choose:
Tucker, Pats Kicker, Saints Kicker, any team that scores a lot kicker, teams that score a decent amount kicker, teams that dont score much kicker, browns kicker

More power to you then and best of luck, but unless the other guy is literally not setting his lineup this week, I'd win the matchup in front of me first. I'm sure there's another bench player you could drop, or do a twofer to clear a roster spot.

I mean poo poo its not that big a deal Ive taken out kickers and put in a flex spot in the league I commish but dont treat me like an idiot for asking especially when "random, flip a coin, sort by highest projected" can apply to literally every position in this stupid game. I know a lot of goons had Legatron and if one chimed in about "hey im going with this guy during the bye because,( reason)" was all I was looking for or my post just ignored
