I am up by 21 with nobody left, going up against his Diggs, which means:

Diggs will get 100 yards and 2 TD.

Carson Palmer owner in a 12 team PPR league where most teams carry a backup. Best replacement options were Tannehill/Wentz, so I just went ahead and traded Randall Cobb for Stafford. Good move or bad? Feels like I'm selling at the nadir of Cobb's value, but it's sure starting to feel like he'll never match his 2014 numbers. I've got OBJ/Landry/Sanders/Crabtree at WR, so he was my 5th best receiver.

Stafford is obviously not quite as reliable as we hoped but I still like him ROS and Palmer has looked atrocious and is now concussed.

Feeling good about this deal, but I like to have my opinions validated...

It was really dumb!

I still won by almost 15 this week, and I was up against Julio.

I kinda want to hold on to KC through their bye just because they have talent and streaming defense roulette gets boring in a big league, but it's going to be tough. Might ditch them for Tampa @ Carolina depending on Cam's health.

Ok, going to flesh this out some more.

I could pick up Philly's defense as a free agent right now. They play detroit next week which isn't a plus matchup, but they're fresh off the bye and talented. I can't drop my defense though because I played them. Or I could wait until waivers clear and try to pick up Philly, Tampa, or Miami.

So do I drop one of Langford or Agholor to grab Philly as a free agent, or just wait and risk missing out on one of those three?

poo poo, nevermind, put Decker in my IR slot, problem solved.

I like this deal. I overreacted during GB's bye this week and straight up dropped Cobb (picked up Stafford over waivers haha). So being able to flip him for value is definitely more than I got out of him.

I had Stafford and Hopkins, was leading by 40 still somehow, and am now down 13 due to Ben Roethlisberger.

There's hope that the Giants defense does well and ODB scores a goose egg, but I doubt it.

Same re: Cobb. I feel stupid because the guy with the Packers logo as his team avatar took about 5 minutes to snatch him up. I should've realized that at least that guy might've traded for him. :doh:

14 team league, nothing on waivers; worst people on the bench are McKinnon/Bolden in a league where they would be the default best waiver options if dropped.

Honestly it's not a bad trade. Personally I would have dropped Cobb for Wentz, but as a Redskins fan I've embraced that Philadelphia is going to murder us so I may be a little higher on Wentz than most. Let's take a look at Stafford and Wentz through Week 3:

Stafford: 985 Yards + 47 Yards Rushing, 7 TDs, 2 Ints for 68.1 Points (QB3). Scores of 26.1, 15.5, and 26.5 (plus 8.2 in Week 4).
Wentz: 769 Yards + 21 Yards Rushing, 5 TDs, 0 Ints for 52.9 Points (QB10). Scores of 19.2, 12.6, and 21 (plus 0 in Week 4).

So through Week 3 Stafford has outscored Wentz and averages a 5 PPG bonus. Football Outsiders has their techno-wizardy saying that Stafford and Wentz are roughly equal, but their stats don't take into account the difficulty of their opponent until after Week 4. In other words between the uncertainty of the small sample size and the uncertainty of their opponents it's hard to say who has a clear advantage. So let's look at schedule through Week 16.

Stafford: PHI, LAR, WAS, @HOU, @MIN, BYE, JAC, MIN, @NO, CHI, @NYG, @DAL
Wentz: @DET, @WAS, MIN, @DAL, @NYG, ATL, @SEA, GB, @CIN, @BAL, NYG

Teams that are in bold are considered top 10 pass defenses according to FO, underlined are bottom 10.

At least based on the preliminary data Stafford's schedule does appear to be easier, particularly near the end around playoff time. Naturally these numbers will shift around over time, but at least at this point it seems like Stafford is the better buy. That said I think Wentz has a higher floor, but Stafford has a higher ceiling. Getting either seems like a reasonable pickup.

I'm probably going 4-0 in ky money dynasty league. I'm leading the league in points for, so it's not just due to easy matchups, either. And I had to get through three weeks without my most expensive player, Bell.

My other three leagues are shitshows, though.

Brate at the top is fine, especially if you need a TE. I'd then put Chris Conley next. Legit WR1 physical profile, weak receiving corps. Then Royal is fine if you're a contender and need a WR4/5 for bye weeks, and hey, maybe he'll be more consistent this year and be a WR3. I think I might take Roberts over him, though, as Roberts is a nice red zone target for Carr, would jump into the WR2/3 conversation if either Cooper or Crabtree missed time, and is still young and relatively unexperienced so might develop more. Then probably Ferguson because Gore is old as hell, but he's simply a stash and pray, and would likely be behind Turbin if anything happens to Gore. Then Quick, who has 14 targets through 4 games and plays for the Rams. Just look at that 2015 gamelog, holy poo poo, 10 receptions for 102 yards on 32 (!) targets in a WR corps devoid of talent. He had a few good games to start 2014, but has shown absolutely nothing since. He's scoring flukey touchdowns and I would be shocked if he doesn't immediately dissolve into complete fantasy obscurity.

TLDR: Brate and Conley for sure, then Roberts or Royal depending on what you need, then Ferguson I guess, then a bunch of other names on the wire, then Quick.

Allen Robinson
Demetrius Thomas

I also have Moncrief and Keenan Allen on IR (4 keeper leauge, 2 IR spots)

I have two interesting trades on the table.

First trade: Melvin Gordon for his Stefon Diggs
Second trade: Isaiah Crowell for his Amari Cooper.

Should I 1) Make trade one, which is the current #6 RB for the #6 WR? 2) Make the second trade 3) Stand pat or 4) go crazy and make both trades?

I'd be tempted to do both since you basically start 4 WR and only 2 RB, but I'd probably hold Gordon. I'd do Crow for Cooper.

Oh, that changes things a bit (I wouldn't do both) but I'd still do Crowell for Cooper. Maybe I should be higher on Crowell, but I still don't buy it. He's had a fairly soft schedule and Cleveland is just so bad.

Whether it's that deal or another one, I'd definitely be looking to move an RB for a WR.

Thanks for talking me out of Quick. He has the physical talent, bur the low targets scare me. Conley has the targets, but not sure I like him long term. Seth Roberts is intriguing, because he could be a sneaky value play if Cooper / Crabtree go down.

Brate is just getting looks. I don't need tight ends, but he is something to trade later if he keeps his upward trajectory.
