Vargo posted:Currently holding onto two RB lotto tickets: Tyjae Spears and Elijah Mitchell. (Three if you count Zack Moss) With the way Mitchell has been used, I'm not even sure he's a handcuff anymore. If something happened to McCaffrey, it might be a split between him and Jordan Mason. Mitchell looked slow in the limited action he saw during the Steelers game. It's a very small sample size, but maybe all these injuries have added up.

As a Seahawks fan I think JSN will be great IRL but I don't see him being fantasy relevant/reliable this season unless DK or Lockett get injured. I actually avoided Seahawks receivers this year because there are too many mouths to feed.

Gonna copy this over from the sit/start thread (which is up btw check it out) since this one seems more active: I chose Garrett Wilson as a keeper, expecting him to have a HUGE year with even semi competent quarterback play. Honestly believe he is one of the best WRs in the league period, but motherfucking Zach Wilson is back. Last week he was semi-okaywith 16.3 points (full PPR), but almost all of that was a single miraculous 60 something yard touchdown catch. Without that he would've had like 4 points since he only had two catches on the day. It was kind of the same week 1, absent an absolutely insane touchdown catch he would've been a bad start. I've moved him to flex, and here are my three options in full PPR: Miles Sanders at Seahawks (theoretically a decent matchup, although it may be raining) Hunter Henry at Jets (he's slightly outscored Wilson both weeks with touchdown grabs in each and seemingly pretty steady usage, he has a low projection though and likely this won't keep up forever) Tutu Atwell at Cincinnati (has scored similarly to Wilson, although with much higher usage overall and no touchdowns to pad the numbers). Plus, as a couple side questions: I have to decide if I should put in Miles Sanders in this sputtering Carolina run game for either Joe Mixon or Brian Robinson. Also, Hunter Henry vs Jets in for Darren Waller vs SF where Henry has gotten more points and more overall targets than Waller but Waller has significantly higher projection for some reason. I think I'm currently leaning Atwell at Flex, Mixon and Robinson at RB, and Hunter Henry at TE but man Yahoo projections throw me off sometimes and I hate lowering my 'chance to win' even though I believe I'm increasing it lol.

Fast Luck posted:Kickers are so so so replaceable. It's super rare to me that it's worth riding with a kicker through a bye for example. Most defenses it's the same deal, outside of the top few in a given year they're pretty much interchangeable and it's totally fine to me to cycle them through on free agency. yea, kickers are generally whatever. i just like having tucker because he has seemed immune to the ebbs and flows of baltimore's offense. there's comfort in that. and like you said with def, 'outside of the top few'. point is, i want one of those top few, so i do what i can to get it, which usually only requires drafting one a round early. not that big of a deal where they go imo.

Gobias Ind. posted:I mean, he almost certainly just had his best game of the year Yeah but his usage is extremely good where before the season there were questions about how he and Gibson would share. Instead it looks like Brian Robinson pretty much is their guy on the ground, he's had 19 and 18 attempts the first two weeks where Gibson has had all of five total. Plus Washington will likely remain a run-heavy team with Howell in his first year at QB.

I normally stream DST and have no regrets about it. But this year it seemed like EVERYONE got the memo and waited and waited and waited to take defense, and it created an inefficiency. When I am looking at the likes of Darnell Mooney or Dallas/Eagles defense in the 12th round, I'll take the defense. Normally some psychopath takes the top D when starting position players are still being drafted. This year, they were in freefall. I disagree on kicker though. Literally who cares, it's totally random. Through 2 weeks, Justin Tucker is the #19 kicker in my league's scoring. That's horrendous if you took him before the last couple rounds. abelwingnut posted:uhh, i would take brian robinson off your hands! yeah that's a weird one. I would be happy to just hold Brian Robinson all year, he's a solid player I was targeting in all drafts. I guess if you can sucker someone into paying you like he's an every week elite RB1 and not a perfectly fine RB2 you take that deal. But is anyone seriously going to agree to BRob for AJ Brown or something

Sell high doesn't mean that he's bad. It just means that he's at his peak value, which I agree with. If you can move him for a more established/higher ceiling RB off to a slow start then that's something you should definitely explore. But it's not like they're telling you to cut bait on him.

Fair enough, just not sure his high is really enough to replace the value he has. And I honestly would not be surprised if he has another two touchdown game this year given the way they are using him. Also, it's fun to have a guy that got shot in the rear end on your fantasy team. Anyways, I'll simplify my question please help since I have to decide by tomorrow. Waller vs SF or Hunter Henry vs Jets.

i'm stingy with it because let's say you spend $1 each week on a def in a $100 fab league. that's potentially $17 total, $14 for the regular season. i'd rather draft a def who's expected to be top 3 a round early and put that, let's say $15, into a potential gamechanger at a skill position. and tbh, i'm probably going to spend more than $15, especially if i need a late push. there are always going to be some super juicy matchups where you want to go $2 or $3. i don't know, would just rather not deal with the headache and save the money and waiver position.

I grabbed Hunt after the Chubb injury instinctively so I just needed a gut check. FWIW in my other league where lost Chubb I didn't grab Hunt (nor has anyone else, and there are several FF hawks in that league). Spears has been added.

I get that, I don’t want to spend every week on a defense, but if there’s one I really want, that’s what FAAB is for. You have to play a defense (well, in most leagues), and while you can start any one that’s left in free agency, why not use your money to get a good one?

Also even if you’re streaming, ideally you can grab a defense that will be usable for 2-3 weeks. Like going back to the Chiefs, they have the Bears this week and the Jets next week. So you’re set for a little bit off one claim. Churning your defense 17 times is worst case scenario which you should be able to avoid if you look ahead

If he was any good, any of the other teams out there would have signed him by now. They even made him tryout again. I think anyone putting in bids for Ford, expecting him to be pretty much the only RB on the roster, would be fooling themselves. Personally, I viewed my bid as a bid on the situation, and that hasn't changed with the signing of Hunt.

I usually set and forget my K the entire year unless they end up with the yips - feel like I've shot my own foot off trying to stream that spot more than not. DST I'll yolo off of FA a few hours before TNF if I don't like my current matchup (honestly same for IDP too, I just have the most time to think about this on Thurs afternoons).Silly Burrito posted:Here’s a question for you Ford owners. If you knew Hunt was signing today, would you have still spent what you did in FAAB? Im not in any FAAB league this year but I feel like the Hunt signing doesn't change much about the thought process for Ford. It's still a rare chance to grab a starting RB in a run heavy offense who looked decent in his MNF showing. We knew the Browns would go out and make a depth signing no matter what and if Hunt was good enough to split touches 50/50 he probably would've still been on the team as RB2. Maybe there's some risk of Hunt taking all goal line carries and Ford not having the speed to reach the end zone on big plays resulting in that being commonplace but I think you still gotta go for it here.

I haven't played for a while and I didn't realize that using waivers each week pushed you down the list for the following week. I thought it was always based on your record, so worst team always has top priority. I realize now that I've been wasting some waiver claims on Defense and I'm dead last on the waiver list. I've also been making a bunch of moves trying to snag up and coming guys. So hopefully I don't need to pick anyone important up for a couple of weeks while I try to get in better position. I feel like I have decent depth on my bench, so I hope I didn't screw myself.

Resetting weekly devalues the draft and I don't care for it, but I kind of get it for 14 teams.
