Need trade advice 1PPR:
Miles Sanders vs Conner and Kupp

The WR would be replacing christian Kirk/Sterling Shepard.

Mistakes were made in my auction draft.

Could ride it out with the bottom tier WRs I have and hope Renfrow, Reagor, or Shenault breaks out or even that Kirk and Shepard have good enough years.

Eagles fan with different spin - Boston Scott showed us too much last season to be a non-contributor.

Scott will probably get 5-8 touches a game a la Sproles. I agree that he showed some juice last year and earned some plays this year. You should still be able to safely pencil Sanders in for a floor of 20 touches each week.

My QB is also named Bort

I'm a clown that drafted Mike Gesicki and Jonnu Smith in both my leagues, thinking it was smart to have both so if one gets hurt or falls off a cliff I have another respectable TE on the roster, but I was iffy on it. I also happen to have Preston Williams on both rosters thus meaning I have two receiving threats from... the lowly Dolphins. Now I've seen the wisdom in this thread so I'm thinking of dropping Gesicki for a RB or WR. Doing so means I start Jonnu vs the Broncos and i have to hope the hype I have for him is for real.

In my 12 team 17 round draft league the pickings are currently slim across the board unless I want to gamble on a Jaguars WR thats not Chark or something else along those lines; the only exception that I see is Derrick Henry's backup (and possible successor, I guess?) Darrynton Evans is available. Is dropping Gesicki for Evans worth it?

In the 10 team 16 round draft there are a ton of WRs available but pickings are slim at RB and I already have Gibson (drafted pretty late compared to how he's gone in like the 4th in some drafts), James Robinson (last pick), AJ Dillon (late pick hoping to be a good keeper option), Jordan Howard, and David Montgomery on my bench.
Darrynton Evans is available here too, along with Anthony McFarland Jr., Gio Bernard, Bryce Love.
Justin Jefferson, Van Jefferson, Laviska Shenault Jr., Michael Pittman Jr, Brandon Aiyuk, Tee Higgins, and Parris Campbell headline WRs available.

I wouldn't drop Gesicki at this point for someone like Evans. Evans likely won't be used too much early on in the season. If shenault is available then I'd maybe go for him. Don't hesitate to drop whoever looks like they're getting less usage after week 1 to pick up someone on the waiver wire though.

In that second league Parris Campbell probably has the most likely amount of usage early on in the season and I'd probably think about grabbing him.

I've got the #2 waiver spot and Sammy Watkins is available. Though i'm already full of high upside bench WR's with injury concerns already.

Bench: Sutton, AJ Green, Brandin Cooks, Jalen Raegor, Boston Scott, Darrel Williams.

I should definitely drop Darrel to put in a claim yea? Darrel does look like he has a stranglehold on 3rd/passing down RB atm, but CEH looked just too good and i don't expect the Chefs to be playing from behind much this year.

Yeah, as the resident booster for going for OLBs if the settings say you should, your scoring is super favorable for tackle machines.

Best five bucks I've ever spend.
For .5 PPR, I'm trying to figure out which of my lovely RBs I should start this week. I need to pick two of Melvin Gordon, Raheem Mostert, and Cam Aker.

I'm leaning towards sitting Aker this week. I think he has a ton of potential this year, but nothing the Rams have said have given me any confidence that he is safe to start week 1. Mostert finished the year on a tear last season and got pretty consistent touches. Melvin Gordon has a tough matchup but is a better pass-catcher than Lindsay if and when they start playing catch-up.

You don't start Cam until that backfield clears up a bit honestly.

That’s the majority of the fun of fantasy anyway, making GBS threads on owners in bad situations through no fault of their own, feeling superior for having “randomly” selected a player currently not injured or suspended, knowing full well fate could easily look unfavorably upon us at any moment as well. Cause it could be any of us. And it will be. But not me.

Since there is no Sit/Start thread, who would you play between Nyheim Hines @ JAX and Jalen Reagor @ WSH, 0.5PPR and punt/return yards (0.8/0.4 per 10 yards respectively). I was not anticipating so many WR being secretly injured before the season started. No idea how many series/sets Reagor will be in, but not sure how much work Hines will get with Taylor and Mack outside of returns.

I think I have to roll Reagor out, especially if Montgomery or Miles Sanders can't go. I actually don't feel too bad about it. He'll get his first shot against a lovely team.

What rules? I'd play Odell unless and until Mack or Taylor establish themselves as lead back. Plus Indy's O line is banged up.

Stefanski is a run first guy but he's at least competent, unlike Kitchens. I think Odell will bounce back big if Mayfield hasn't been totally ruined.

Yeah, and without looking because who cares about actual facts, I wanna say Beckham was a low end WR2/high end WR3 and Landry was a mid WR2, so we've already seen Beckham be fantasy relevant with Baker and that Baker is good enough for his WRs in fantasy.

I’m thinking of dropping a bench player to pick up Roethlisberger (at NYG) to start this week. Have Kyler Murray but Cards are at SF and that spooks me. Anthony Miller is the dude I’d drop I think

1 QB 1 RB 2 WR 2 FLX

QB Murray
WR Michael Thomas
RB Conner
TE Kelce
FLX Gallup
FLX Chark

Bench:

Jordan Howard
Diontae Johnson
Boston Scott
Zack Moss
Anthony Miller

Miller is better than anyone else available on waivers according to Fantasy Pros

Start Murray, don’t second guess yourself in week 1

It’s entirely possible ben has a better game than Murray this week but don’t sacrifice a lottery ticket on miller for that delta.

Every position but WR and RB (and ideally only WR) should be about maximizing points while minimizing decision making.
