I still think Gronk plays on Thursday. He doesn't need to practice to play. But at least I have Ebron just in case.

Okay, I need some input. As of now my team is 4-0, 100 points ahead of the 2nd place team, and absolutey stacked. Half PPR, 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/1FLX/1DST

QB: Kirk Cousins
RB: Todd Gurley, Carlos Hyde, Adrian Peterson, Jay Ajayi
WR: AJ Green, Stefon Diggs, Emmanuel Sanders, Alshon Jeffery, Cooper Kupp, John Brown, Josh Gordon
TE: David Njoku
DST: Chicago Bears

Unfortunately the Bears on bye this week, but given their schedule and talent I'm not particularly inclined to give them up. That means I have to either drop someone or make a 2 for 1 trade. If I dropped anyone it would be Gordon, but I'm really hesitant to do that given his upside. I could stand pat and take the 0 on the DST, but that just delays the problem since in the future I'll have to deal with bye weeks for my QB and TE. So with that in mind what players do you think I should target, and how much should I be willing to give up?

I think some sort of Hyde /Kupp combination to upgrade a running back.

I'm thinking about an upgrade at WR in my 12-team, 0.5 PPR league. Besides Michael Thomas it's been a carousel of WR3 / FLEX tier guys, and waiting / hoping for Josh Gordon to do something. My roster:

QB: Deshaun Watson
WR: Michael Thomas
WR: John Brown
RB: Alvin Kamara
RB: Kareem Hunt
TE: Rob Gronkowski
FLEX: James White
K: Harrison Butker
D/ST: Cleveland

Bench: Chris Thompson, Ronald Jones (LOL), Kenny Stills, Josh Gordon, Vance McDonald

I dropped Nelson Agholor for Vance McDonald after Gronk left the game on Sunday. Jones is just a cheap lottery ticket. Through four weeks, I'm 3-1, in second place overall, with the highest total score. Do I even need to make any moves for now? One person offered me Alshon Jeffrey for Chris Thompson straight up. He also has Robert Woods, whom I kind of like. Would Thompson for either of those guys be reasonable, or leave me too thin at RB? Other options I'm not seeing?

My guys:

WR: M. Thomas, Diggs, Ridley, Cooper
TE: Burton

His guys:
RB: Elliott, Lindsay, Miller, A. Jones, Henry
WR: Adams, Edelman, Boyd, Gordan, Cole

This would be a good deal if you needed a TE, but you don't really. I'd probably pass.

Dalvin Cook is the better talent, but needs to get worked back in. Jordan Howard is kind of a mess so far this season TBH. I'd take Cook over Howard over the balance of the season, but Howard over Cook the next few weeks.

:rip:

Missed two weeks, played 24 snaps, and was out again with the same injury. The Jaguars are playing the long game on the season, especially given that Yeldon and Grant did fine with Fournette gone. Two weeks and a reinjury so bad he was ruled out midgame tells me the Jags should be more cautious the second time around. That means at least three weeks. The fourth week is a London game, which they will probably leave him home for just to play it safe. Then it's their bye. I doubt we see 4nets until week 10.

You could try for Mixon, since you don't need an RB right this second.

Ok all this trade talk got me thinking, with this team:



I'm planning on dropping Powell for a defense while Chicago is off, but would I be better off trying to make a 2-for-1 trade to clear up a roster spot? I feel like I would end up just kind of averaging one of my good starters and whoever off the bench I dealt, and I doubt anybody would be too interested in Gio since it's not really news his share is about to drop.

I would need to see some rosters, but someone in your league who is strong at running back and weak at receiver. Probably a running back who is slumping, but you feel could turn it around. I think Howard and David Johnson are decent buy-low candidates, but it is a matter of your preference. I just put out some feelers to the Fournette owner in my league because he's been vocal about dropping him.

EDIT: Spoeank nailed it with Cook. He was never going to be good the first half of the season, but I like him in the second half. Mixon is another guy worth targeting.

Bortles is better this week but I think Dalton will be better long term. It's not too far from the spider-man image above though. I just trust Dalton's weapons more.

You mean top ten fantasy quarterback Andy Dalton? Bortles is a hard pass for me. While Bortles might seem to have the better matchup, Miami's defensive prowess came from beating up the Tennessee Titans, New York Jets and Oakland Raiders. New England smoked them. The Dolphins have issues some defensive issues.

Meanwhile, the Bengals have been a top five passing offense on the year. Tied for third most passing touchdowns. The red rocket is for real, yo. (Maybe not, but I trust him more than Bortles atm.)

I'm inclined to agree with this, but I kinda think Carr is a sneaky good play. I think they are going to be playing from behind a lot and Carr has thrown for a lot of yards through four weeks.

I have Mixon sitting on the IR right now and Gio starting, if Mixon is good to go this week, do I drop Gio, or keep him around and drop one of my other end of bench guys (currently Keke, Dede, and Nyheim)?

I’d keep Gio in case things don’t go as planned on the field for Mixon, at least for a week or two. Also matters how big your roster is, amount of teams in the league, scoring, format (dynasty or redraft), etc.

If that dude drafted that team in a 14-team league, basically the rest of your league is literally fantasy-braindead and hes the only one you have to worry about competing with. The other 12 teams would have had to literally pick in like, reverse ADP order for him to get that lineup. My point being - trade with another team owner, they should trade away any studs they managed to accidentally draft for any FA player you can grab.

12 team league, .5 ppr

I'm ready to get rid of Shady, but I'm not sure what to fill him with. My team at the moment:

QB: A. Rodgers, A. Luck
WR: D. Hopkins, C. Ridley, R. Woods, A. Robinson
RB: M. Lynch, A. Ekeler, T. Coleman, T. Cohen, L. McCoy
TE: R. Gronkowski, D. Goedert
K: R. Gould
DEF: Philly

I really hosed up, dropping Yeldon when Fournette was ready to play in week 5 not expecting Fournette to get hurt again. I picked up Goedert because I'm really worried Gronk won't play this week. I feel like my RBs aren't really performing, should I try to trade up two RBs (McCoy + Coleman) for a better one somewhere in my league?
