I'm glad I followed my gut and started Wentz. And also that I was basically forced to start Jeffrey.

How soon should I be making a play for Fournette? He's gonna be back somewhat soon, right? I'm thinking that I can burn a spot for him now and hold onto him until he's back to play. He's FA in my league, and my current RBs are:
McCoy
Lynch
Ekeler
Coleman
Cohen

Very tempted to jettison McCoy for Fournette.

Coleman is the better runner, Freeman the better pass-catching back. Haven't seen anything in the past two years (since the effortpost about it) to change my mind. And they aren't exactly lacking in pass-catchers in Atlanta now that Hooper is a top-5 TE like I said he would be.

It was Good. Hopefully this is more the norm, rather than last week.

Anyway, any streaming defenses to target this week? I hit a bullseye with the CIN defense last week but don't think @PIT is a very wise choice. Currently thinking LAC @CLE but could be persuaded otherwise.

Last week Jeffery was smothered by Xavier Rhodes. I expected NY to use Jenkins in a similar role but clearly it's not the same.

I’m streaming Seattle across all 3 of my leagues. They’re toward the top of the list in takeaways and Oakland’s near the top in giveaways. I’m a little worried Carr’s getting his footing, but we’ll see.

LAC @CLE doesn’t seem like a bad choice, though.

Coleman can catch really well too. He's a complete back.

You have it literally backwards lol

Freeman is the better all around rb. He has better vision, better agility, can make guys miss and can play the power card too and run through people. Tevin is a one cut north and south runner with top end speed and awful balance. Freeman makes his own space, Tevin does not. Tevin has top end speed, Freeman does not. They both can catch but Tevin is the better receiver. They both suck in pass pro. Hth

Try reaching out to the other owner first to see how much they value Dalvin Cook. Offering an injured back for an injured back is probably not going to work. You should be offering someone who can help them right now.

Cook isn't even carrying a Q right now, he is practicing fully. Offering an injured back for Cook right before Cook faces literally the worst defense against RBs in the league is going to be insulting to the person who put up with ostensibly their top guy being injured the entire season.

There is a lot of projection on my part here as I've been carrying Cook all season - if somebody offered me Freeman for him NOW I'd be pissed.

As someone whos been sitting on Freeman in one league and Cook in another, I wouldn't make this trade as the Cook owner. As others have mentioned - after sitting on Cook all season people are ready to reap the rewards. Also honestly I'm a little concerned about Freeman's future in ATL.

They have eight turnovers over the last three weeks. They held the Vikings and Packers to 28 points combined. They have a top CB who can travel with Hopkins. The Texans' o-line is terrible and their run game sucks. Watson has thrown a pick in every game so far. Also he's banged up and that "punctured lung" theory may not have been too far off so there's a slim chance Brandon Weeden could make an appearance.

Too many variables I like!

I need some running back help here. Currently very frustrated owner of Cook, Miller and Royce.

Ekeler is a free agent and I want to pick him up but don't know which one to drop. Between Miller or Royce really.






Also someone dropped Jordan Howard. I'm 8th in waiver priority. :(

Not sure your format, but in mine Ekeler has outperformed both. Ekeler has been solid, so I would probably look to drop Miller for him. Swap Howard for Royce too if you can.

Whoops, it's .5 PPR. And yeah Ekeler has outperformed both of them. I'm just hesitant to drop them for some stupid reason, needed validation it was the right move. Thanks.

I doubt Howard makes it to me.

Yeah I would drop Miller, but keep in mind that Ekeler has been doing what he's doing on 10 touches a game, so there's always a chance that he lays a turd if he doesn't score in a given week.



Based on that off the wall analysis RE: Bills D/ST I'm now rethinking my plan to pick up the Cowboys for this week. I currently have the Titans, so what do you guys think? Bills v HOU, Cowboys v JAC or stay put with the Titans?

The Cowboys defense could have a big game. Bortles has been throwing like poo poo, threw multiple interceptions to KC last week and 2nd most on the year. Also they are having trouble with their O line so you'd think the Cowboys could get some sacks. Tennessee defending against Baltimore might be okay although Flacco has only thrown three interceptions and hasn't taken many sacks. The Bills I'm still not sure about, they have been better recently but the Texans are also 4th in yards per game so far.

I would rate it as Cowboys best choice, Bills second best and Titans third. They're not all that far away from each other though.

OK, yeah that is pretty in line with my thoughts and the Cowboys-Jags game has the lowest over/under of the week, so I'll ride with the desert people's choice. Thanks for the sanity check.
