I still fondly remember that one game that Taysom played QB and I got all the points in my TE slot.

It happened, I was there. I saw it.

He was limited at practice today due to ankle issues. It's probably nothing. I hope it's nothing.

Thursday and Friday practices are the ones that matter. Unless he's limited or out for those 2 don't worry too much

you should worry even less given he's a long-term veteran as well. they take breaks all the time.

Whose the best option for a backup roster spot, Joshua Kelley or Roschon Johnson?

I have Kyren and Gibbs as my starters, and just dropped Mattison for Spears. I currently have Kelley rostered, but a goon posted yesterday that it’s always better to favour upside with your backup RB’s and I really like that thinking. Roschon looks good and may well take over that backfield. Kelley has got Ekeler to deal with and although it was against the Titans D, didn’t exactly make the most of his chance at owning his starting slot.

Johnson. Youre exactlyright. The starting RB job will be his soon. Ekeler will come back and make Kelley irrelevant again.

Kinda wanna make an offer for Jonathan Taylor, he’s sitting on a guy’s team that loves making trades to make things more fun. Or do we think Taylor is just gonna phone it in when he starts or not get many snaps because Irsay hates him? He’s got pretty weak depth at RB so I’m thinking trading an RB2 and a Flex RB for him, so I can also free up a spot for Spears in that league as well, tell me I’m dumb

I’ve got:
ETN
Stevenson
Monty
Hall
Ford
Gainwell

E: He just put Bijan up on the trade block lol

I've also been thinking about making a move for Taylor but because I heard a rumor (and by "rumor" I mean "speculative headline that said 'wouldn't it be cool if'") that maybe the Browns are gonna pay a bunch of money for him.

Ruh roh...
Should I drop any of these to pick up Roschon Johnson? Probably Hunter Henry if anyone, I'm guessing? I picked him up because Mac Jones seems to favor him as a receiving option and the teams in this league are really silly about rostering multiple TEs so the waiver wire is pretty consistently slim pickings.

(This league is a bonkers 2PPR.)

QB: Prescott, Love
WR: Allen, Godwin, Pittman Jr, M.Thomas
RB: Jacobs, K.Williams, R.White, Javonte Williams, A.Jones
TE: Kelce, Henry

Our negotiations snowballed into basically trading each other a third of our rosters lol. This is either gonna sink me or help me out in the long run, but I honestly don’t hate it and I’m fine with whatever happens because I needed a little upside gamble with Taylor to be competitive with the top teams right now down the line.

I sent:
AJ Brown
ETN

Stafford (Who I just picked up for $0 on waivers this week to cover Richardson just in case lol)

it is usually a very bad sign when there's 'no timetable for their return'. i can't imagine he's back for at least a few weeks.

relatedly, i've got dotson where i can. he looked great in preseason, got a decent amount of use in his limited snaps last week, and kelley is just sort of alright. worth the gamble if you have room.

\/ what other backup qb are currently on waivers?

That is a good trade for you imo

Edit: Ended up getting JSN off waivers, though I spent 24% of remaining faab to get him and no one else bid so a bit of a waste of money but I think he's got good upside for the rest of the season

jesus, that's awful. if you have to keep one, pierce. he has way less competition behind him and should have more playing time security, which maybe allows him to trip into a few td here and there. on the other side, warren looks like he could take over for harris very, very soon.

but...yea, that's bleak.

Yeah I’m pretty happy with it, and both parties came away with our current needs. I know I’ll probably miss Brown on my roster as the season goes on, but I still have Tyreek Hill. I may miss ETN, but I still have Breece Hall and Bijan will more than make up for it. I think Monty is pretty much at his ceiling, which is solid, and lol Stafford was just a one week freebie I was going to drop once Richardson was cleared to play. Most of all I’m excited to see if a gamble for Taylor pays off or fucks me lol.


Also sheesh, we haven’t had a single trade across my two leagues yet and we had five go through between both of them within a couple of hours this morning lol.

I traded for him, I think they’ll be as feisty as last year once the o-line starts getting back this week. May not be an RB1 but he’s the clear #1 back as opposed to Najee who’s getting styled on by Warren
