Damnit, damnit, damnit. I just had a 4 team trade figured out in my dynasty salary cap league. Was going to be a masterpiece yet.

Was gonna start with:

quote:

QB: Phillip Rivers
RB: Melvin Gordon
RB: Jordan Howard
WR: Mike Evans
WR: TY Hilton
WR: Rishard Matthews
TE: Zach Ertz
FLEX: Peyton Barber
FLEX: Phillip Lindsay
SFLEX: Derek Carr or Carson Wentz (when he gets back)

$12 salary cap free

- Trade Zach Ertz ($122) to Team A for Cam Newton ($133)
- Trade Cam Newton to Team B for Julio Jones ($156)
- Trade Derek Carr ($48) to Team C for Jordan Reed ($24)

End with:

quote:

QB: Phillip Rivers
RB: Melvin Gordon
RB: Jordan Howard
WR: Julio Jones
WR: Mike Evans
WR: TY Hilton
TE: Jordan Reed
FLEX: Peyton Barber
FLEX: Phillip Lindsay
SFLEX: Carson Wentz (when he gets back)

$11 salary cap free

But the dude with Julio traded for Matt freakin' Stafford while I was in class and even sent a 2nd round pick with Julio wtf.

Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Jimmy T.
Welp, I bid $45/$200 for Yeldon as the Fournette owner and thought I was definitely overpaying. I lost the bid because someone bid $80/$200 on him which seems absurd (he isn't my opponent which I could kinda understand). I don't think I should have spent over 40% of my FAAB in the first week to get Yeldon, but it leaves my RB situation a bit iffy.

Current RB's include:
Leonard Fournette
Alex Collins
Kerryon Johnson
James White
Austin Ekeler

Would you drop any of them for Lindsey? I feel like I am probably panicking too early on Collins and Kerryon Johnson looks like he will be the feature back with involvement in the passing game. I am mostly thinking about my lineup for Week 2 and not sure who to play.

What're the chances Lindsay maintains a 10-15 touch rate the rest of the season? Barring injury to him or Freeman of course.

Thanks everyone! Dropped Ekeler for Lindsey for the now, I didn't really have another player to drop to try and keep both of them. Not gonna drop Edelman or Enunwa at this point.

I'm thinking of starting Enunwa over Crabtree for my flex this week since Enunwa was seeing like 40%+ of the targets or something crazy.

Really hurting now that Baldwin is joining Bell in the land of unplayables. This is a 10 person, ppr league.

Cam Newton, Alex Smith

LeVeon Bell, Christian McCaffery, Carlos Hyde

Doyle, Njoku

M.Thomas, Fitzgerald, Baldwin

Tate, Crabtree

Denver, Atlanta


But I still feel pretty good about my team. I'm going to try and get Chris Thompson or Cobb for some added depth while I wait out the holdout and injury. Not sure who I'd drop though. I have to roster two TEs so that's not an option.

I think I can weather the storm until Baldwin gets back. Not sure what to do about Bell..

True, lots of talent to be had. Leaning heading the suggestion and just dropping Baldwin for Thompson if I can't find a trade for Baldwin.

pubic works project posted:

Yeah, must roster two defenses and two kickers. Must have at least two WRs and two RBs and 3 flex spots rostered, as well. Now you know some of the roster rules in my BML. It's an enormous league with 40 players. 4 divisions each with their own player list so in the playoffs you could be facing your own player, cancelling each other out.

Feeling good with a current PPR double FLEX (12 team) roster of

Stafford, Keenum
Kamara, Ajayi, Coleman, Crowell, Ekeler
K Allen, Fitz, Landry, E Sanders, Cobb
Ebron
Legatron
Denver

Would it be worth packaging Sanders or Cobb with Crowell to grab a high targets TE like Doyle or Kittle?

Is Kelvin Benjamin completely jettisonable in dynasty at this point? There was a brief moment there where it looked like he might be ok, but with the new Bills and his apparent further descent into apathy is it too late to hope he'll pull his head out of his rear end?

I'm tempted to hang on to him for the week regardless just in case Allen turns out to be some sort of wunderkind

I cut him in my dynasty league, but it was because he cost $10 out of a $250 salary cap. If I had him for $1 or $2 I might have hung onto him on the chance of him being useful.

No one is going to trade you anything for a guy who is out 2-6 weeks. At least, nothing that you would want in a 10 team league.

Edit: I see it is PPR. If Thompson is a FA add him immediately

Since I have Kittle I just dropped Eifert for the Bears, even though I already have Denver. The schedules seem to synergize well.

Denver: OAK, BAL, KC, NYJ, LAR, ARI, KC, HOU, BYE, LAC, PIT, CIN, SF, CLE, OAK

Chicago: SEA, ARI, TB, BYE, MIA, NE, NYJ, BUF, DET, MIN, DET, NYG, LAR, GB, SF

So combining them:

Week 2: Denver (OAK)
Week 3: Chicago (ARI)
Week 4: Chicago (TB)
Week 5: Denver (NYJ)
Week 6: Chicago (MIA)
Week 7: Denver (ARI)
Week 8: Chicago (NYJ)
Week 9: Chicago (BUF)
Week 10: Chicago (DET)
Week 11: Denver (LAC)
Week 12: Chicago (DET)
Week 13: Chicago (NYG)
Week 14: Denver (SF)
Week 15: Denver (CLE)
Week 16: Denver (OAK)

Week 11 is the worst and obviously projecting to the end of the season is a bad idea, but at least for the start of the season having two really solid defenses with good schedules should be useful.

Good stuff. I already have the Vikings but picked up the Bears for similar offsetting.

Although they had the worst showing last week, the Chargers are paper-good and also have juicy matchups:

Week 2: @BUF
Week 3: @LAR (no)
Week 4: SF
Week 5: OAK
Week 6: @CLE
Week 7: TEN
Week 8: bye
Week 9: @SEA
Week 10: OAK
Week 11: DEN
Week 12: ARI
Week 13: @PIT (nah)
Week 14: CIN
Week 15: @KC (no thanks)
Week 16: BAL (I’ll pass)

I have way too many RBs because I'm just throwing a lot of poo poo at the wall to see what sticks at RB2, but my WR depth is really thin. Would you drop any of these

James White
Duke Johnson
Derrick Henry
Latavius Murray
Chris Carson
Matt Breida
Jalen Richard

For either Will Fuller or Bruce Ellington? WW is pretty bare otherwise. I'm thinking of just letting it ride another week and seeing what shakes out and my starters are Keenan Allen and Larry Fitz, so it's not like I'm hurting.
