Someone just dropped Alshon in my big money league and I am ready to pounce...with only 4 bench slots though it creates a bit of a dilemma on who to drop. Thoughts?

My bench right now is Dion Lewis, Edelman, Ekeler and Ingram. Not dropping Lewis and Edelmen obvi, and I JUST added Ingram as a stash for his upcoming release from suspension...

Would you drop Ekeler for Alshon?

My starting RBs are Zeke and Thompson this week (RIP McKinnon) and my WRs are Allen, Cooks and Tate.

This is tough but I think if you're not starting Ekeler, and don't need him, pounce.

Yes. Yes you do.

Yeah I would drop Ekeler in that case.

Ekeler cause the Seattle run game is a total mess and Ekeler has a lot more upside.

In a 1ppr league, I have to start Crowell over Clement, right?

If Ajayi doesn't play I'd start Clement.

UGH that's tough. Kamara might be the best player to own in fantasy so far but I think Barkley + Allen have more points at the end of the year.

Fitz is on a dying offense and Mixon should be back in 2 weeks

I�m not liking that trade either. My first response was more of a �hold up, we talking two WR1s (on their respective teams) for an old-balls WR in the worst offense in the league and a satellite back whose long-term value production depends on a catastrophic injury to the bellcow? Ehhhh

Kind of how I feel, and I'm going to choose to interpret the general lack of responses to mean that people don't really have strong feelings one way or the other.

I'm the Kamara/Cooks owner and the Barkley/Allen owner has expressed concerns about both of them, so if it's viewed as a pretty even trade then I feel like I'm giving up too much. I could potentially offer Watkins or Edelman instead of Cooks.

Or maybe I just sit tight, because it's fun as heck to own Alvin Kamara.

I think you sit tight. Cooks vs Allen has a chance of being really close end of year, look what Cooks has done so far. Then Kamara vs Barkley is less close, even with Ingram back, the Saints offense is just so much more attractive and Kamara has shown he can be a top 5 RB already.

2019 is a very WR heavy draft class with one or two high end RB's coming out. If you are trying to build for a stacked draft class, 2020 should be your goal.

Thanks, good to know. Maybe I'll try to move some draft capital to get better RBs (or Kelce). My WRs aren't super stellar, but I think good enough between Hilton and Robinson to try and improve elsewhere.

Well Freeman isn't playing and Ajayi isn't playing so I would at least wait until after this week so you have a starting RB who isn't part of NE or a backup to your other starter.

Overall I wouldn't.

My thoughts with it, I figure I could easily roll by with Ekheler and Gordon for a week, as ridiculous as it sounds. Maybe get lucky with a Burkhead for Clement trade cause the Clement owner is pretty dumb.

But, a bad Eagles game would hurt 3 of my starting players. Although I do feel Wentz finishes a good chunk higher than Luck in this QB bonus league

Don't do that. 1.) You're losing that trade and 2.) You're putting all your eggs in one basket.

Anti-Hero: Feb 26, 2004

Should I consider benching Rivers in favor of Dalton this week? The Rams D hasn�t given up a passing touchdown yet, so strike against Rivers. Dalton has looked good so far...but it�s Andy Dalton, so that�s not a sure thing.

12 man ppr league.

Wentz is coming off an ACL tear. What makes you think he's going to be better than 40 attempt Luck? See DeShaun Watson. Also, I think Jay Ajayi blows.

DeadMansSuspenders: Jan 10, 2012; I wanna be your left hand man

Just got Smith-Schuster in a trade for Fitzgerald because I haven't played him yet. Have Big Ben for QB, with Wentz still in my IR spot. Likely going to swap Juju in for T.Y Hilton for my WR2 spot or maybe put him in the flex this week.
That brings my current lineup to

code:

QB Ben Roethlisberger
WR DeAndre Hopkins 
WR T.Y. Hilton 
RB Alvin Kamara 
RB Tevin Coleman
TE Kyle Rudolph
FLX Sammy Watkins 

K Matt Bryant
DST Chicago

BN Sammy Watkins 
BN Joe Mixon 
BN Kerryon Johnson 
BN Randall Cobb 
BN Ted Ginn Jr.
BN JuJu Smith-Schuster
IR Carson Wentz

I haven't played Johnson, Cobb or Ginn yet. Season is good so far!

God drat that's a fleece.

Fitzgerald has shown absolutely nothing so far so getting Juju who has had 2 good weeks is a huge get. I've been trying to unload Fitzgerald with no luck for the last few days.

Should I trade Phillip Lindsay for Golden Tate?

I have Hogan, Crabtree, Ridley, and Dede right now, along with Cook, McCaffrey, Henry, Lindsay, and Latavius. 0 PPR.

My gut is that this is a mash just given that Lindsay is still fairly unknown and Tate is a true WR1.

# ? Sep 20, 2018 20:51

Personally I would especially with those running backs but then again I'm under the assumption that 5'7 185 pound running backs get injured eventually.

I'm not a huge Tate fan but numbers are numbers and it looks like they're going to be attempting a lot of comebacks.
