Alternatively would you drop him to pick up someone like Ellington to start over Marlon Mack? Mike Wallace and Ryan Grant are also available. I probably would keep him. But then again, I wouldn't own both Crowder and Doctson. I just a report that Gruden wants Cousins to take more shots downfield, which might benefit Doctson. But who knows.

Sataere posted:One of my true joys in this bleak, desolate fantasy football season is when I get to tell people why I think Spoeank is wrong in his picks. Today, I think I have a better start option at Wide Receiver and Tight End. But I am also a known idiot. I like reading these articles just for the humor factor but I really have to wonder just how many owners you think have both Sammy Watkins and DT, or both Jared Cook and Jack Doyle? Like, deciding which guy to pick up off waivers, sure. But the number of owners who are sitting there thinking "Oh godddd, which of my garbage TEs do I play, Cook or Doyle" has to be a tiny fraction of the total fantasy football audience, right?

So whoever suggested Ryan Grant, i'm plugging him in over Moncreif, i'll be happy with like 1 catch for 2 yards and a TD. Or even 5 points in half ppr VietCampo fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Nov 5, 2017 |

I'm starting Grant at the recommendation of a goon, but i don't think anyone else besides someone like me starting Allen Hurns and Curtis Samuel should be rostering him at this point.

I see that mistake all over twitch and youtube, and hell all over most fantasy websites that get low traffic too. People don't want to read an article from a self-proclaimed miserable idiot. Be more confident and viewership will go up. Thanks. This is a really helpful note. One thing that worries me about showing my self confident side is that hubris broke up the Beatles. And we are nothing if not at least as good as the Beatles

Now that all of my WRs are officially orphaned (Hopkins, Dthomas, Fitzgerald) I need a miracle. Should bait on Devante Parker, or continue to hold and see? Other options on the wire are Marvin Jones, Desean Jackson, Josh Doctson, Sammy Watkins or Ryan Grant. E: Or this Samuel guy I guess

Tiptoes posted:Samuel is a 2nd round pick for the Panthers. Very productive hybrid player in college; speedy and a natural playmaker with the ball in his hands. Has been held back so far cause he's missed time with hamstring issues in camp and in the early part of the season. Panthers are making him the Z receiver now after trading away Benjamin and the GM specifically talked about getting more speed in the offense so it sounds like coaches are comfortable with him now. The offense could really use a guy like him, especially against Atlanta. I like him as a boom/bust play this week and think he's worth owning going forward. Huh, that's really cool. So very similar to Doctson in terms of pedigree and capability (and injury history). You think dropping Crowder for him is a worthwhile idea?

Welp, dropped Crowder before folks weighed in. Probably the wrong move, but he was already on the WW and more importantly with a hamstring injury I don't expect to see him get much movement this week. This week also serves as a pretty good test for Doctson; if he can't see a significant target share this week then he's an easy drop.

Well the offense isn't gelling because the offensive line is getting murdered. You cant' get in synch with people when they change every week.

Commissioner ethics question: Would it be alright if I pushed through a trade involving myself before the games start? It got accepted today after talking with the guy face to face, first time I've seen him in a week. I've done it for the other trades that have happen so far. When I say pushed through I mean just skipping the transaction and vote process and all. Some fucker voted veto on the trade. I overpaid but I'm going for it all this year, I think I have the depth to cover the heavy cost.

1-7 team traded his Aaron Jones to a 5-3 team for Jay Ajayi. Jay Ajayi has a bye next week, and sort of a bye this week. Aaron Jones has no byes remaining. I'm the commissioner, and this is a very anti-veto league (the trades go through automatically, and pretty much never undone), however, I think the circumstances merit consideration of undoing the trade here. If the 1-7 team is truly trying to make himself better and win every remaining game, I find it extremely hard to believe his team is better with a player that is definitely going to have a bye next week, and might be limited this week. And whose role is unclear in the grand scheme of things. Anyone have any opinions on this trade?

I would like to improve TE. Person wants Collins. He has Gronk. Initially came to me asking Collins for Abdullah and Lynch. That wouldn't help me, so I passed. But Gronk would, and I could probably flex someone else to maximize points in starting positions, no? I'd come out on top if I did something like Collins + Walker for Gronk + one of Lynch/Abdullah, yeah? I am thinking Collins is probably a legit RB2 the rest of the way, but the point increase from my TEs to Gronk + flexing one of my WRs would make it up. is the above counter realistic? We can also trade future draft picks if I need to make up the difference.

Was able to make a trade with a different team than who I was asking about in my last post. Gave Rivers, Jordy, Abdullah Got Smith, Howard New roster after this weekend will be QB: Smith, Manning RB: Gurley, Martin, Howard, Lynch WR: Hill, Hopkins, JuJu, Richardson, Gordon TE: Ertz Good trade? 14 team 0 PPR

Arkane posted:1-7 team traded his Aaron Jones to a 5-3 team for Jay Ajayi. Jay Ajayi has a bye next week, and sort of a bye this week. Aaron Jones has no byes remaining. Ajayi was fantastic last year and even with Miami's ineptitude is 13th in rushing yards, just missing the touchdowns to be a good fantasy RB. Change of scenery to a team with an actual offense could push him back into the RB1 conversation. Aaron Jones has played four games in his career, two of which he couldn't top 50 yards. Montgomery may have had lingering injury issues limiting him and is right there to get worked back in if Jones struggled. Obviously I'd take Jones, but if you can make a not insane argument for the other side, it's not near vetoable imo

If not that seems really suspicious. OTOH it's possible that the Jones player thinks that Ajayi is set to be the bellcow in a high octane offense while Jones is a sell high.
