The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
I've been offered Mostert for my Nacua and I'm thinking that's a good deal, right? Full PPR.

QB: Mahomes
RB: Barkley, Etienne, Swift, Warren, Charbonnet
WR: A.J. Brown, Aiyuk, Nacua, Thomas, Hopkins, Dell
TE: Engram

accept that 100 times out of 100.

are people forgetting kupp is likely coming back or something? why are they trading for these receivers who are about to lose a lot of their targets? should be selling high on him, atwell, and kyren.

the only reason i wouldn’t do that is because of how stacked your rb are. like, are you playing mostert over those top 3 beyond bye weeks? probably not. but you can way more easily move mostert in two weeks than you can nacua. or hell, even now. package mostert with another rb for an upgrade maybe? mostert plus engram for hockenson? i don’t know, you’ve got options.

Good move! I lost it in my league because the winning bid was $883 out of $1000, which was more money than I had in my budget alltogether. And I'm not sure if there was a way to overpay here, but if there is, this is it.

This being my first time doing this, are there any general guidelines for preserving FAAB through the season? Should I be :homebrew:ing right now, or should I save any money for later in the season for injuries, etc.? Is that questions even possible to answer without more info?

Buy now. Waiver wire breakouts diminish greatly with each passing week and it's much more important to stay competitive early than to have the most $ for that one or two guys who break out late when your team has started 3-7

if you're middling to low, you absolutely want to spend more now than later.

however, if it's obvious your team is a top team in your league right now, and i mean it is healthily and unquestionably a top team in your league, and it is actually performing, then it's preferable to spend less now. play waivers now, sure, but only pick up rb2/backups as they come and go. wait for injuries to break your way. then, because of how well you've done now, you're safely in the playoffs. more often than not, one of those rb2 you picked up now has actually panned out. on top of that, you'll have a warchest you can use to shut out other teams on waivers in those later weeks. and if there's a really hot add in those later weeks, you've safely got it.

i'm not saying spend only $10 in the first 10 weeks if you have a top team, but don't go whole hog by any stretch.

at the same time, if you're in trouble, you should not feel any hesitation spending all of your budget in the first 6 weeks.

it's all relative! obviously there are exceptions (someone drops a top 15wr who just hasn't been doing well so far or whatever), but this is generally how i approach my spending weekly.

Agreed and mashed.

I have zero FAB after turning it into Nacua->Mostert, Swift and Dell and I'm very happy with that value even if it means sitting out the rest of free agency.

What I really need now is a 2 for 1 to free up a roster slot for the bye weeks. I've sent out Warren/Hopkins to a dude starting Najee for his benched Pittman and I'm hoping real hard to get out of the Pittsburgh/Tennessee markets.

also, guy you might want to add now if you have room: keaton mitchell.

he's apparently 'electric' with the ball in his hands. more importantly, though, is he'll be a healthy baltimore raven rb in week 5. melvin gordon is a nonentity, so mitchell'll basically be oft-injured edwards's backup very soon.

purely speculative obviously, and only for deep leagues. but it's easy to see a path here. and god knows baltimore needs some sort of running option.

Is it too galaxy-brained to grab Roschon Johnson off waivers (dropping Allgeier) to flex over one of Olave, Pickens, Atwell?

I feel like it's a boom-or-bust play, don't really trust Chicago's OL, and Herbert is getting more touches. At the same time though, if Denver allows rushing like it did last week...

OK, FAAB is one thing, but what do we think the trade value is for Achane at the minute? (to acquire him)

I guess there's probably no worse time than now to try and grab him off another roster, right? Unless he turns into a ROS stud..

Managed to snag Josh Palmer everywhere I was targeting him. I know he's not some superstar but I'm kinda surprised how muted the interest has been. He averaged 9 targets/game when Williams was out last year and even managed one 30-point game in PPR.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

I would not trust a single Bear until they can prove they have an actual functional offense. I mean they have two total rushing TD's after 3 games and one of those belongs to Justin Fields. Even facing a bad defense I wouldn't trust them, but that's me.

That last reception Pucua caught brought me from 4th place to 2nd place just based on the points, which is normally good but I need a better waiver spot to replace Mike Williams.

Lost out on Palmer because of this :argh:, not that it really matters much. Both AJ Dillon and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are completely droppable now, right? Dillon's whole selling point was that if Aaron Jones went down, he would be a #1 RB and he ... wasn't, and JSN is just not involved in the offense much.

Someone is trying to grab my CeeDee Lamb for their Garrett Wilson and Alvin Kamara. He's just coming off suspension, but I feel like trading an S-tier WR for two A-tier players (RB and WR) is a question when you have a bench full of a-tiers. I'm just gonna say no, but I was curious what people think about that kind of situation. I lost this week due to really bad performances from Allgeier and the Cowboys D/ST, but to me, CeeDee is untradeable. I also really have no idea how good Kamara is. I tried to look up his stats and they weren't outstanding. And Zach Wilson is still the Jets QB.

Ok, for my lineup this week this is what I have

JJ and Nacua for WR
Monty and Kamara for RB
J Jacobs for w/r/t

Should I put Zay Flowers or Waddle in for J Jacobs? I know it’s early in the season, but Jacob’s seems to be underperforming projections but is playing the chargers, while I’m worried Zay won’t get many targets against Pittsburgh

Jacobs is projected for 11.18 while Zay is at 9.91.

Or maybe I need to put Jacobs in for Kamara and see how Kamara does this week?

A dude I play disc golf with has bought in entirely on the offseason chatter that Kamara had lost explosiveness because one of his legs was bigger than the other and that has since been fixed This sounds like woo woo quackery but if you're looking to buy or sell him that's certainly a thing you can find online.

Had this in one league with Christian Watson last year. The resident Packer homer drafted him and patiently sat on him for half the season. Finally dropped him for a bye week crunch, and to be fair he had done loving nothing to that point. Nobody picks him up. Next week, Watson goes for 107 and 3 TDs. The guy who dropped him spends like $90/100 to get him back :lol:

I dropped JSN for Achane. I think JSN is still a decent stash since rookies sometimes take a while to spin up (see Christian Watson above heh), and if either Lockett or Metcalf gets hurt he's going to get more involved. But yeah if you need space today he's not a must hold

Dillon sucks and didn't do anything even when Jones was out, dump his rear end
