I need to know whether to use my waiver claim on DMC or Morris! I still feel like DMC is the guy to own.

Oh, 20 yards. Who did you drop him for?

He's top 10 in the league in targets per game - don't think he should be dropped anywhere with that kind of volume. Unless it's like a 10 teamer with short benches, maybe.

Buffalo defense right now, I'll probably end up picking him up again later this week once some injured statuses become more clear. I know all the guys in my league won't touch him except for one maybe? No one else looks at targets just whatever players have scored in their last three games.

Uhg, stupid Denver offense cost me this week and I needed this win because I'm pretty hosed this week, and that was BEFORE Zeke got re re re re suspended. I have DMC so there's that but I need another RB, is Gore a good one week pick up?

I'm hoping this pushes most of them out since he can do a combo of what Blount and Smallwood both did.

But who knows. At least I can stop thinking about trading him for one more week.

Happy Halloween, fellow goons. Has your fantasy football team been extra scary this year? Fear not! Football Absurdity has your waiver wire answers at Quarterback, Running Back, Wide Receiver, and Tight End.

What is even scarier is the parity in football this year, as reflected in Jeff Krisko’s Power Rankings. But nobody should be more scared this Halloween than Kirk Cousins. Where is he going to play next year? Jeff lays out his top five likely destinations next year now that Jimmy G is a 49er.

And it wouldn’t be Halloween without some scary stories. Football Absurdity delivers the scariest football story of all -- The Ragin’; The Tale of Colin Kaepernick

My season in one league has been meh (it's my team with basically zero RB due to injury (RIP Dalvin) and busts). Figured I'd roll the dice and try to trade another bust Cooper + Rishard Matthews for Ajayi, I have plenty of other WR to fill the gaps left and if it works it might save my season, if it doesn't, meh I'm already starting nonsense at RB (minus McKinnon who I grabbed when Dalvin died, he's been good 3 of the last 4 weeks).

Am I a moron?

If I don't pull off some sort of RB trade, due to Byes this week I'll be starting loving Jalen Richard (who is going to get pushed for beastmode being back) and Marlon Mack :(

I don't trust that offense and I don't trust that defense to overcome that offense.

The jags defense literally breaks games.

(Though the Vikes are a tad low you're right--power rankings are weird and hard because the nfl is drat rock paper scissors)

I mean, even trading Cooper straight up for Ajayi would have been a bad trade. You screwed up. Hopefully you can survive it.

I guess I don't understand what the Jags defense does that the Vikings doesn't, then. Admittedly I am a casual football fan and don't pay a whole lot of attention to other teams but ~the numbers~ seem to favor the Vikings D a little.

No defensive TDs for one. However, they have put up double digit scores in my league all but one week, so I wouldn't be mad having to roll with them. They're consistent.

Jags also have 6 more turnovers and 9 more sacks than Min. They lead the league in sacks by 6 more than the defense in second.

Hi, gang! I just dropped in to say that I FIND ALL THIS CHANGE TO BE SCARY AND WEIRD
I'm hoping it will be like Thriller.
"Hey what's wrong?" A hand shakes me from my state of nonstop shrieking.
"Oh, Jay Ajayi, I had the worst dream! I dreamt that you were an Eagle!"
[Points at Gore] "and you were a zombie"
[points at Garoppolo] "and you were shipped off to a torture camp."
[everyone laughs]
"Come on guys, let's go get some ice cream"
Everyone walks off together. Gore pauses, turns to the camera, and smiles. Brains drip out of his mouth

I realized it's gotten out of control. I realize I'm out of control.
As a Gore and Mack owner, I'd love to see Gore get dealt today.

So, just a head check here but if you had Deshaun Watson in a 2 QB 6 pt passing TD keeper league and he cost you basically nothing to keep next year, you wouldn't trade him away for anything short of AB84/Lev Bell plus a 2018 first rounder, right?

I can't even parse what you intended to mean. If, against odds, he steals some minor role, it will be a... minor role. Do you mean he'll be more valuable than whichever of DMC or Morris doesn't take the lead role? Do you mean Zeke won't actually stay suspended so DMC and Morris will be irrelevant and even Smith's minor role will be more valuable?
