Is there a reason why Jaylen Samuels has TE eligibility in yahoo? I’d pick him up in my dynasty league, but he doesn’t have TE eligibility there. Any chance that will change?

Edit: Also, who would you want as your only QB for the year? Big Ben or Stafford?

He's a versatile player and there's preseason rumors he'll be used as a TE. He's listed by the Steelers as an RB, but NFL.com doesn't even have him with RB eligibility.

I just sent out a bunch of offers to acquire Conner in a 12-team PPR, start 1 RB / 2 WR / 1 TE / 2 flex league (96 teams and complicated format, I'll simply say there are several copies of Conner out there). One guy sent a counter-offer:

my: Chris Hogan, Aaron Jones
his: James Conner

Thoughts? I am leaning towards mashing accept

Do you own Bell? That seems like an overpay to me.

If Greg Olsen doesn’t play and forces me to drop a bench stash for a 1 week TE replacement I’m gonna be pissed. Unless I pick up Jaylen Samuels as that player and he goes off. Then I won’t be pissed.

I have weak wr's:

Mike Williams - Chargers

Tyrell Williams - Chargers
Ginn Jr. - Saints

I see that:

Fuller - Texans
Hurns - Cowboys
Ridley - Falcons

Are available.

Worth it to drop Ginn and gamble on Fuller/ Hurns/Ridley?

Samuels is a cheat code at TE/RB. Yahoo doesn't take away designation, it only adds it. So, he will be TE eligible all year.

Thing is, it will only take about 5 carries a game to make him a TE1. Soooooo..

Is he rostered as a fullback on the Steelers official roster? That would probably explain it.

With Olsen possibly out for Sunday, should I look into renting a TE? Would have to drop one of

Pierre Garcon
Latavius Murray
Chris Carson
James White
Alex Smith
Matt Breida

Top WW options are

Charles Clay
Eric Ebron
Cameron Brate
Ryan Griffin
Mike Gesicki

This is .5 ppr. Pretty much anyone worth even half a poo poo are in 1:00 games. I'm leaning towards just risking the goose egg from TE this week. Murray is the most obvious drop IMO but I think he'll be valuable if Cook isn't ready to go, and I'd hate to drop him for a 1-week rental that may produce nothing.

Why do you own Smith? 2 QB league? I'd drop him for Ebron.

I believe Ebron can be streamed in week 1. I think he has 5/50/1 upside against the Bengals and you can drop Alex Smith unless you're really sold on him as a QB2.

Zauper

Lots of love for ebron - do we actually expect him to get volume over Doyle? Didn't Doyle get almost all the first team reps in preseason?

Experts seem to lean towards Doyle as well. 5/50/1 would be a ton of production for the TE2. I'd probably take anyone expected to be their teams TE1 over ebron.

I'd probably coinflip brate (floor) and gesicki (ceiling)

I expect the Colts to use an above-average amount of multiple-TE packages and for the receiving TE to get more valuable targets than the in-line TE. We saw it in the third preseason game where Luck threw a TD to Ebron.

I drafted Smith after already spending $2 on Matty Ice and I honestly couldn't tell you why. :downs:

Huh, and apparently I have a trade offer for Smith (and Chris Carson) for Trey Burton (and Rashaad Penny). I'm not really sold on Burton as a TE1 but trade bait might be a better use for Smith. I'm probably getting too clingy because Ryan just looked like poo poo.

That exact game is why I'm higher than most on Ebron. The Colts WRs are trash outside of TY, I think Ebron and Doyle will get more than enough work.

Burton wouldn't be a bad get but that dude is trying to steal a starting RB from you. Carson is Good At Football and I think there's a decent chance he will prove it tomorrow. If you're still inclined to sell, you could potentially get much more after the week 1 games.

I kind of figured. I'd expressed some interest in his Penny earlier in case the Seattle backfield shakes out differently, but not if it means giving up Carson. Like I don't expect the Seahawks run game to be spectacular but it can't be as bad as last year and one of those dudes has got to be at least a flex play, right?

I've been playing fantasy footbaw for 5 years and, prior to this year, I think I've received one trade offer in the entire time.

Eifert or Samuels for a Greg Olsen replacement?

Edit: I guess Olsen is gonna play now, but I have a free roster spot since I just traded Cohen away for a 10th rounder. I kinda wanna stash Samuels just in case he ends up having a decent sized roll. That RB/TE designation is alluring!

I'd rather roll on Eifert because IF he's finally healthy, he's potent. We don't know what this Samuels guy is going to do.
