Latavius Murray is probably worth grabbing just in case he gets signed by the Ravens right?

This aged well, i'm glad i didn't listen and still grabbed him in case. RIP to the Gus bus

Added Murray in a few leagues. Probably trying to galaxy brain it too hard and he’ll end up on the raiders again.

Didn't Bell and Murray both work out for the ravens and they signed Bell...? Doesn't mean it's impossible they sign him, but they already kinda made their decision on who they wanted of the two

As a Kamara owner, should I risk dropping Tony Jones (my only handcuff (other RBs are Darrell Henderson, Javonte, and Moss) for a gamble on Latavius?

Yeah I'm not sure its worth it to drop him in my case because I have guys I'll be starting ahead of Murray even if he ends up the bellcow, because I dont trust the Baltimore Covidiots Ravens.

Literally not an uncooked free agent on the market. Even Murray is like 31. Just take your pick of FAs and make a bet on health and volume if they're a Raven.

I read more about football at work than home, where I have better things to do.

So.... who has more value between Bell and Freeman?

I think he was making 3 million with the Saints when they cut him after refusing a pay cut.

Does FAAB just affect waivers? After waivers clear players still become free agents, no?

Yeah I kinda mixed messages there: I like FAAB better than just a waiver priority based on w/l record (or rotating or whatever); and, I also prefer no free agency. In our dynasty league we have a waiver auction handled by MFL every wednesday, saturday, and sunday morning. Dropped players can't be added for 24 hours, and added players can't be dropped for 24 hours, so no shenanigans are possible really. Everyone in the league has a reasonable shot at any suddenly-valuable player, provided they have cap space and have FAAB dollars left.

Not everyone in the league, historically, has loved this; some folks really like being able to act within seconds of their twitter feeds telling them to pick up Gus Edward's replacement or whatever. But this is one point I'm never gonna budge on. I've played that way and I tended to be one of the ones camping the news and I hated it. It's no way to live. I need to have breaks from fantasy football.

That's why we have a waiver run at 11AM EST on Sunday.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:

I drafted Travis Etienne at 3rd overall in our annual dynasty rookie draft and he got hurt like 2 hours later; but it was OK, see, because I had Gus Edwards rostered already, so I still had a starter. Now, I have one starting RB (CEH) on my roster. And it's Dynasty so you can guess how many RBs are on waivers.

That's... not the only game day lol

So everyone needs to roster multiple QBs and TEs, in case their guy gets ruled out during pregame warm ups? Like, Dak pulls a hammy tonight and whoever has him is just hosed this week? You can't really think that's better

I mean it's dynasty you should have multiple QBs and TEs anyway. I'm in the league and it's never bothered me doing it this way. If it was redraft sure, but this is dynasty with 25 man rosters.

Your guy isn't getting ruled out during pregame warmups unless he's already Questionable and you had opportunities to roster a replacement. If you choose to have no backup at a position, that's a team manager decision to prioritize your roster spots otherwise, and that decision could backfire, yes.

And yeah this is dynasty. But I think it can work even in redraft. It has implications for how you manager your roster, but having implications doesn't automatically make it worse, just different. And the benefit is that you're not hovering over your twitter feed all fall and winter when you're at the grocery store, on a date, spending time with your kids, etc.

So I drafted Dobbins as my RB2 the morning of the day he got injured, panic grabbed Ty’son that evening, and now it looks like I maybe have my RB2 back?

All before the first kickoff. This season is going to be wild.
