Not worried enough to bench him unless I have like LeVeon and Kamara with no flex

Marvin Jones Jr. showed that Xavier Rhodes is beatable, AJ is a fine play.
While I agree it is probably best to rely on AJ Green, I still think the fear over this week's matchup is legitimate. The Bengals just no-showed against the Bears and their pass protection is terrible. And now they get one of the toughest teams in the league. I don't think Green owners can bank on WR1 production this week.

How about if you also had Kareem Hunt in addition to those two, sitting on the bench?

Kareem Hunt is an RB2 so of course not.

Hell, in his last six games he's only broken 11 points (in ppr) once. Gurley's ONLY game below that mark this entire season has been the one against Seattle.

If you started with Yahoo, you hate ESPN (because it's wildly different and you're lost trying to do anything). If you started with ESPN, you hate Yahoo (for exactly the same reasons). This is how people always react with obtuse, horrible user interfaces: it's the root of the ancient vi vs. emacs debate, for example.

All fantasy football websites have horrifyingly terrible user interface designs. I'd say that's a huge business opportunity, except I don't think hosting fantasy football leagues is a money-making proposition... even MFL which charges for leagues probably doesn't make much, and oh by the way, it's UI is mind-bogglingly bad, especially when setting up nonstandard leagues (which is the only reason to use MFL in the first place).

I don't mind ESPN or Yahoo. I used to think that NFL.com had the worst fantasy interface. Then I used MFL.

Holy hell MFL is the worst by far and it's not even close.

Sure the matchup against the 49ers is great, and I'd love to trust him in it, but that seems way too risky for the semi finals.

Do not listen to these people, they are feeding you bad data. The 49ers are a bad matchup for RBs now that they have their defense going in the same direction. They are the stingiest fantasy defense against RBs over the last 5 weeks. Jordan Howard and Lamar Miller combined for 9.3 fantasy points

Sorry for not replying earlier, I worked like 14 hours yesterday and today is looking equally lovely.

Here are the top free agents in my 12-man dynasty league. We have 24-man benches, plus two IR slots and three taxi squad slots (rookies only). And we are going into week 2 of the playoffs, with a lot of eliminated teams, so the contending teams are focused on winning now and the rest are likely looking hard at rosters for next year, rather than caring about waiver pickups for the next two weeks:

Thank you for this.

Looking at your league data, it's so weird how there are plug-and-play desperation RBs on the wire who might also have dyno value (Rod Smith), but its mostly poop at WR. Usually it feels like the opposite is true.

He does right now for deep benches for teams that are out of it that have flotsam and jetsam they don't need. He's very good, Alf is gone next year, and he's a handcuff you can dump if Zeke doesn't tear his ACL in camp. I didn't say he was an amazing stash, it's just not hard to see why someone would roster him.

I'd like to add he's also on a reserves/future contract iirc. Though can't remember how long.

He's shown enough that he may get a chance on a different team next season as a 3rd down back. Or like you said even brought back.

Agreed. I'm rostering both in BML and I have to go Murray. All year it's been a coin flip as to who gets more points, with Murray having the safer floor.

A little late, but my league has last place take the entire league to dinner. That's the only rule.

I think it needs actual quantities, like a min/ max spent. Otherwise, what's to stop someone from mailing out a pack of hot dogs and a lighter? On the other end, it's a 14 man league of big drinkers. Even at a low-priced restaurant, I'm sure we could drink $2k worth of alcohol.

Landon Collins may or may not play. I picked up Desmond King over Jalen Ramsey and Eric Weddle to possibly take that DB spot. Desmond King has been helped by playing safety and corner AND being the return man.

I just need to play King over a banged up Collins, right? He's got a bad matchup against KC. But, who knows.

Also, my trading ways have given me a 729 Gold rating :shrug:

You know what? They both suck. But if i put in murray, I can reap rewards from the nonzero chance he gets hurt in practice. I have Henry too, and that would be a monster start.
