I have Eli currently, but Stafford, Mariota, Prescott, Taylor, Smith, Cousins, etc are all on waivers. Should I grab one of them, or stick with Eli?

I like Prescott the most because all the other qbs are unpredictable and all capable of making GBS threads the bed. Only con with Prescott is the offense is run oriented and you can say the same for Smith but the Raiders is a great matchup.

What's everybody's opinion on Latavius Murray going forward? I can trade either Pryor or Jimmy Graham for Latavius. Guy is already on board. My current starting RBs (can only start 2) are Jamaal/Ware, Forte, and Gore.

Would you guys rather have AB or Shady+Emmanuel Sanders in 14 team standard?

My wr/rb corps is currently

RB: Lesean, CMike, Gore, Bilial, Dwayne Washington, Jacquizz
WR: Julio, DT, Emmanuel, Desean Jackson, Steve Smith

If I trade for AB I just worry about my RB depth if Rawls takes the starting job back from CMike if/when he comes back. I'm currently 5-0 so I'm looking more towards the playoffs than any short term gain, although it would also be nice not to have the majority of my WR points not so heavily invested in how well the Broncos offense is going.

Rashad Jennings was straight dropped and I am wondering if I should spent FAAB dollars on him. My RB's are pretty thin with Lacy, McKinnon, and then LMurray and Deandre Washington. The only other RB's worth anything on waivers would be Sproles, Gillislee, Booker, and JStew (injured still but likely coming back after BYE).

Repost since I didn't get a response. Is Jennings worth picking up or should I grab one of the others on Waivers (JStew, SProles, Gillislee, Booker).

Is Michael Floyd droppable at this point? 10 team league, 2WR and one FLEX position for starters - 1PPR

I have Marshall, Hopkins, Cooks, Decker and Woods (for now at least) on my team so he'd only be starting as a bye week replacement anyway.

What else is on the wire? In a 10-team, yeah. Although I kinda want to see what happens with him this MNF. (I say this as a guy who just jettisoned him and Terrance West to another team for Mike Evans.)

Might want to see what you can get for Decker on name value to some WR needy team. I don't like having two wideouts from the same team.

Kerley, Sammie Coates and Michael Thomas are probably the most interesting guys available at WR. I'm going to put a claim for Coates while dropping Woods in all likelyhood.

Matt Asiata is probably the most interesting RB available. Yahoo is really pushing Devontae Booker as a pickup as well but Yahoo experts are stupid so I'm not sure about him. Whittaker, Jalen Richard, Bilal Powell, Sproles and Chris Thompson are the top scoring RBs available.
My RBs are McKinnon, Gio Bernard, Riddick and Jordan Howard so I wouldn't mind a little help there.

I mean, Griffin has scored more points up to now than Mack, at least in my IDP league.

So he's not even an upgrade at this point, i'd pick up Graham possibly instead.

What are your running backs? Woods and Floyd for Bilal (or Booker depending on your needs) and Coates seems like something I'd do if I liked my starters. Crowder isn't available? Check my recent threat history for waiver wire suggestions.

Seems like a fair trade if you like the guys you're getting. You lose the best player but gain the three best after that (and Green is really good).

Murray is a bad target. Oakland was using an RBBC with all three backs before Murray's turf toe injury and turf toe is one of these injuries that can linger for a while for an RB.

Another IDP question. My too good to be true Wilhoite pickup obviously busted. I've got Kwon on bye, so I need a replacement. (I'm playing Burfict this week).

SF - Nick Bellore (the actual Bowman replacement)
HOU - McKinney
BUF - Preston Brown
SEA - TJ Wright
BAL - Zack Orr
NO - Craig Robertson
SD - Jatavus Brown
DEN - Shane Ray
BUF - Lorenzo Alexander
CLE - Christian Kirksey

What 2 LBs look the best? My scoring points are more of an emphasis on big plays (tackles are 0.75 pts). I need 1 LB, but just in case I can't get him I need a backup plan. Leaning Orr or Bellore.

Also, notably Deon Bucannon (S, LB) and Clowney (DE, LB) are on waivers. I figured I'd target Graham over Clooney and I have Reggie Nelson so I don't know if Bucannon is exactly an upgrade.

Don't know much about IDP in general, but i do know that Reggie is like the #2 DB currently, so yea, i'd doubt Bucannon is an upgrade.

So far? Snead played one fully-healthy game and had 172 yards and a touchdown. He hurt his toe before halftime of the Giants game and hasn't been fully healthy yet. I dropped him like a dumbass and I've been kicking myself since.

I also dropped him 3 days before that insane game to pick up a TE because i didn't draft one. Then i had Keenan Allen die on me.

Luckily someone just dropped him a few days ago for Sammie Coates and i used my waiver on him and got him.

In addition. I am in a bit of a bind this week at RB which doesn't bode well for the JStew pickup. I have Lacy who is questionable, McKinnon on BYE, and then Latavius Murray and Deandre Washington. Yikes. Should I also try to pick up Sproles or Gillislee to cover my BYE? I'm thinking I would have to drop Deandre Washington or Murray and no idea who it should be.

It has to do with the new NFL rule on injury reports where players that would be listed as probable now get listed as questionable.

I think you're talking about players being officially ruled out. They shouldn't have an "out" designation for the week until they're made official, ya know? Fleaflicker does the same.

Edit: If anything, "out" players shouldn't be allowed in the IR spot for this reason imo. IR spot should be for long term injuries, hence the name. Allowing "out" players just lets you do this game time decision juggle.

Trying to figure out wtf to do with Ware.

I snapped him up late in one draft, and do not own Charles. The only guy the Charles owner has that interests me is Gronk. Would Ware + Marvin Jones + Dwayne Allen for Gronk be a decent offer? 12 teams, 0.5 PPR.

I'm stacked at WR, and would still be starting Antonio Brown / Amari Cooper / Larry Fitz every week in a 2WR / 1 Flex format.

I could go the other way and offer something like Jones for Charles? My RB's aren't great. Gordon / Bernard / JStew / Ware. Charles kinda terrifies me this year, though. I could see him dying again quickly, or getting 10 touches a game to protect him.

Or I do nothing, sit on A+ WR depth and hope Charles does die so I can start Ware again.

Hi guy that literally has my team (except I have Ingram and J. Landry instead of Gordon and Fitz).

I don't think that's a good trade, unfortunately. Dwayne Allen is useless, and Ware might end up being useless, so you're basically trying to trade a WR2 and a handcuff for a first round pick/best TE in fantasy.

He's not going to trade Charles away for Jones either. Maybe try to throw Gordon in? He has a very low YPC and fumbles a lot, but he's been getting so many touchdowns that his value is inflated.
