Should I trade away Swift for Nico Collins, then drop a wr? Only asking because this ain't my year for fantasy. 0.5 ppr
My WR are Ridley, DK, Meyers, Flowers, c. Samuel
Other RBs are Pollard, R. White and Mostert, k Williams on ir

E: oh he has a calf injury. Of course.

You should be getting significantly more for Swift even if Collins wasn't injured.

The Bengals-Texans game has the 2nd highest over/under at 47, right behind Detroit-Chargers. It was the highest, but I think the Chase and Higiins injuries have lowered it.

Speaking of which, you may want to add Tyler Boyd to the end of your bench. Especially if you own Chase or Higgins, or are playing against them.

Looks like Montgomery is back this week. I have a Flex spot I’m looking at for him (have CMC and Pollard(lolsob)as RB1 & 2).

Obviously concerned with performance after injury. What’s the skinny on D-Mon?

How is everyone feeling about Stroud's chances vs CIN?

@CIN, and feeling less good, with Nico probably out and Pierce out as well.

That said CIN currently gives up the most points to TE in the league, and if Stroud can rush a few times to keep the defense honest they may still hit the over.

With confidence. I just dropped him to pick up the Dolphins D in anticipation of them playing the Jets twice, and instead of dropping Khalil Shakir.

So that means Shakir puts up a dud and Brown pops off for 20 again.

Uhhh well Swift isn't on the Lions anymore. He is the RB6 in half-PPR. He faces the Giants in the fantasy semi-finals and the Cardinals in the finals. You want him on your team.

Trading him for Nico Collins is kinda insane.

Make sure to have a backup plan - he played for Robert Woods who was injured and might return this week. I don't know if they keep Brown out after that game last week but there's a risk he doesn't play at all if Woods comes back.

Well as a Gibbs owner watching this situation all year, if Montgomery is 100% then I'm pretty sure the Lions are going to continue to run him into the ground to protect the future use of Gibbs.

Congrats big boy
In my weird no bench league, a guy that is 3-6 just went all in on buys on his main starter bye week. Had Mahomes and Kelce, and dropped everyone for better players that are on byes or IR and coming back next week. They picked up two players from the Rams, a Dolphin, and JJ. Just have no idea what they're trying here. They're playing the worst person in the league when they really need a win. They're 1percent to make the playoffs right now.

League is shaping out weird, because top teams are 7-2, I'm 6-3. And the rest or 4-5 or below, but they're still grabbing everyone they can.

Received trade offer:

I like it from the perspective of getting a known quantity for a crapshoot, and I'm a bit WR needy. Thoughts?

I have both Conner and Lockett and I think this is a bad trade. Lockett is way too inconsistent, though matchup this week looks good.

I'd rather have Connor than Lockett. Lockett is one of those frustrating guys you bench and he goes off, but every time you play him it's single digits.

I think you can get someone better for Conner.


Also got a very spicy trade offer this morning:

2QB, 0.5 PPR:

I give:
- CJ Stroud
- Sam Howell
- Tyjae Spears

I get:
- Lamar Jackson
- Gardner Minshew
- Cooper Kupp

Seems like an obvious mash? Am I missing something here? It is a keeper league and I drafted all of those guys, so there's definitely some solid keeper value on their end.

Lockett's had a bad hammy nearly the entire season. He's been nursing it along, but he may never be 100% the rest of the way.

Puka is getting a lot of Kupps workload and Stafford is out for long enough they brought Wentz on board. I’d hang onto Stroud because there’s a decent chance that game last week activated something in him and he starts popping off hard

Oh also Lamar is a fantastic QB and a super inconsistent fantasy QB

Yeah, all good points that are what made me think about it for a minute. They seem pretty eager to get some keeper value so I'll probably counter with something else.

I drafted Lamar, have ridden him the whole season. A couple weeks ago I picked up Howell off waivers for a buck on a lark. Rather than face the agony of deciding who to start, I just traded away Lamar for Terry McLaurin (who is now my best WR by a decent amount if not counting the rapidly fading Puka, next would be Christian Kirk) and Achane.

Now watch Lamar explode for 40 this week.

Trade is done, so no going back but am curious to know if this trade is graded A+, F-, or "meh" by the collective wisdom of Goons.

Late to this, but Lamar is the QB4 on the season. Every quarterback not named Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts have been frustrating. You just traded for an equally frustrating Terry McLaurin who will have similar issues, but a lot less points. You will have the benefit of the double dip with Howell though.

Yeah I'm not quite sure why everyone is saying Lamar hasn't been a good fantasy QB. Sure it's been a bit of a rollercoaster but way more highs than lows

Edit: As a follow up to my post a page or 2 back, I ended up not getting either Chase or Kupp. The Chase owner got a better offer and the Kupp owner wanted a 1st + 5th + Olave or a 2nd + 3rd + Olave and I wasn't ready to pay those prices.

Ended up trading for Davante Adams + 6th for 2nd + Olave. Probably a bit of an overpay but Adams has literally nowhere to go but up... right :ohdear:

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

My league switched to Team QB this year, due to how devastating an injury is, and how you could also be penalized for a team playing too well and pulling their starters, and that finally helped out a ton last week (Baltimore TQB got 20.8 points)

Yea, we all want Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes. But if you didn’t get them, what Lamar is doing is the best you can hope for.
