Streaming is a legitimate strategy and there's nothing wrong with it. It encourages owners to actively manage their team. And limiting total waiver moves has the side-effect of loving over anyone whose drafted players randomly experience more injuries than the average.

I think fantasy football is most competitive when all positions matter equally. That's why PPR and 6 point TD passing was introduced, both rules give WR's and QB's equal importance compared to RB's. The more equal each position is the more strategy there is involved, at least in theory. Sataere posted:This pretty much sums it up for me. Kicker

I'm in a league that boosts D scoring some and it really makes streaming Ds harder, because people start to keep them for matchup plays. Fishbowl's standard of an extra bonus for TE first downs makes them less streamable as well.

I follow it. They're so unpredictable it's almost not worth bothering to stream. You pick a good matchup and the offense rolls them 5 unanswered touchdowns and your kicker has 5 points. Or the good defense keeps the team from scoring so you rack up 3 field goals and double up on the better matchup's kicker. Mostly I just grab a kicker who's kicking in a dome on an offense better than Jets and roll with it till he gets the yips or someone clearly better is available. It's just not worth worrying about.

Earlier this week I accepted this trade: Their T. Gurley K. Wright for my J. Mixon T. Pryor After this huge week from Gurley, I'm tempted to ship him back out, especially with his increasing SOS. What're your thoughts on his outlook? His workload is incredibly safe and probably going to be top 5 in the league this season, but I'm not sure if he'll continue to produce against stronger opposition.

As a Gurley owner in 2 leagues, I'm not worried about the schedule at all. He has Seattle and Arizona in the division, so that's a concern but otherwise, it looks like no one too scary. Maybe MIN in week 11, but I'm not concerning myself about 2 months in advance. Especially when it got NO right after that. I'm going to ride him until the Rams stop. And even saying that Seattle through 2 weeks has been slightly below average. Against bad offenses, you could see the Rams riding Gurley to kill clock, and he busted off a 20 yard run late last night doing just that.

I used a waiver on: - LB Suggs. For emergency for whoever of Kwon, Jarrad Davis, and Goodson couldnt go. They all couldn't go. - K Gano to replace Blair Walsh. Streaming kickers lolz - Alex Smith cause Winston is facing Minnesota - Jared Cook cause Eifert died Kwon - supposed to suit up as of this morning. Later in the day, out Goodson - mysterious injury Jarrad Davis - supposed to be cleared of concussion, out.

Yeah so the thing there 89 is not using up 50% of your weekly moves on streaming kickers and QBs. Your league format doesn't give you that luxury. (And why are you playing in this league, given your own propensity for... well, let's call it "very active management"?)

Move limits are dumb, but you're really really dumb to stream kickers when you're only allowed 4 moves and you have like 10 or 11 total starters. Efb twice, lol. Glad we're all on the same page though.

So far my RBs (minus Gurley, who i just acquired) haven't performed terribly well. Crowell in particular has been frustrating. Hopefully he'll start to get more touches in the passing game so he's a better option in games the browns are supposed to lose all of them

There are a lot of hot takes going around that Gurley has peaked with his easy beginning of season schedule and it's downhill from here. Own him in one league, not sure whether I buy the idea.

But I keep a diplomatic approach. 4 move limit was imposed after everybody was annoyed at how many moves I made. I suggested 5 moves this year, but the majority voted no 🤷🏻♂️

Kwon was listed as suiting up on Yahoo and on the internet. Then it took a 180 degree turn a few hours later. You can look it up on Yahoo!'s fantasy app. Traded Cohen for McKinney Watch McKinney be a gametime decision over explosive diaherrea.
