It's cool, he's being replaced by Antonio Brown next week I just acquired.

So you were able to trade for Kelvin Benjamin and Antonio Brown in the span of a week?

Are you out 89ing yourself?

Would offering a Jacquizz or Ingram for Crabtree trade be insulting? They're definitely the low men on my "Notes say RB1!" totem pole/logjam right now.

My current WR situation is Cooks/Meredith/Britt.

EDIT: Non-PPR.

Chris Thompson is awesome, but more likely to be the Gio to Kelley's Hill than a three down workhorse.

Yah this is true, I am in 0.5PPR though so a Gio-level player would actually be a welcome addition to my crap-tier RB corps that currently consists of LMurray, JStew, Jerrick McKinnon, and Eddie Lacy RIP.

Is offering Larry Fitzgerald + Michael Crabtree for David Johnson reasonable?

Both Fitz and Crabtree are currently top 9 WR in the league. What if he wants a RB and I throw in Jstew, is that even crazier?

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
Thompson had 19 touches last week when he was conceivably the third down back to Matt Jones. That was mostly the fumble but he was gonna get 12-15 touches with Matt Jones (who is decent) and he is going to get less with Kelley (who is less good)?

No.

Gio touches: 7, 14, 10, 13, 15, 19, 18

Hill touches: 9, 14, 17, 21, 4, 14, 11

And yeah, I like Thompson a lot, calling him Gio isn't an insult. Gio outscores Hill frequently. I just don't think he's a three down back.

If he can't drop Henry, has no one else that's easily droppable (though Coates is probably fine to drop), and is playing a weak team, it might make sense to go without a kicker. Lets him get another week of news about Charles, which might make him more or less droppable, as well as about Ben and Murray, which will impact Coates and Henry.

My WRs are really weak by the way: Robinson Maclin Moncrief Crowder Coates.

My take on Charles: At best a backup getting 10 touches or so and thats it. Hes just having too many problems to overcome and I dont remember many players having come off major knee surgery, having a setback and moving on to having a successful run. There just isnt a past precedent that can support keeping him. We are holding onto him because of his pedigree and talent.

Guys like Gio, Tevin, CThomp, etc are just perfectly suited to the role of a satellite back and they are all very startable. None of them except Tevin would do well as the main between the tackles runner. Being out in space is the best use of their skills.

Injuries forced Riddick to change roles and guess what? He wasnt as good.

The point with looking at the Cinci backfield touches is VietCampo said "hasn't Gio out touched Hill in every game" and the answer is no, it wasn't to say that Gio sucked.

Sorry wasn't trying to say Gio was the between the tackles back or every down back. Just that Gio fits the Bengals game plan more, and as such is on the field more often giving him more opportunities to produce that J Hill even if he touches it less.

Also, does that touch count include catches?

I realized it's gotten out of control. I realize I'm out of control.
So in 0.5 PPR which guy is the better to own between Kelley and Thompson? Right now I have Thompson but Kelley is available. My take is that even if Matt Jones comes back, Thompson will keep his role while Kelley will not.

Yep, just carries + receptions, though, not factoring in targets (which would favor Gio more and be more in line with the snap differential)

Cool, good to know as well! I had assumed based purely on snap count Gio would lead in touches with receptions included.

I love Gio, even if he isn't the greatest fantasy RB, he's a cool dude and good footballer.

He's been starting Allen Robinson and Diggs/Shepard and is currently on a 3 game losing streak, which is why I targeted him.

I play in a 10 man positional ppr league, QB/RB/WR/TE/3 (WR/TE/RB) Flex spots, .5 ppr WR, .75 RBs, 1 TEs and it works really well for our league. One team is riding 3 TEs this week and might actually win their game.

So I'm the commissioner in my work league and came across this amazing trade that was proposed and accepted.

Team A gives: Eli Manning, Travis Benjamin, Corey Coleman (7-0)

Team B gives: Ezekiel Elliot (1-6) Tanking the season, never sets their roster.

I'm all for letting trades go through, but that is so borderline collusion I should reject it right ?

Sounds fair. Three flex spots is a little zany though. Id imagine a guy like Doyle didnt stay a FA for long.

Two piles of garbage + big upside unproven guy does not equal a superstar RB. So my math tells me that the trade sucks and should be rejected.

Got a trade proposal in 12 team standard that I think is right on the borderline.

Give: Brees, Hunter Henry
Get: Cam, Witten (who i would drop for Brate/Ebron/Gates whatever)

I think I like Cam's ROS schedule better, and I don't think there's a significant drop-off from Henry to these streaming TE (unless Gates dies again) Probably gonna accept

I usually never suggest vetoing trades but this is bullshit, especially if the guy who is 1-6 hasn't even been participating (setting his lineup).

To sign them is my real test

With full no movement clause
Yeah that's the key to me. It's a work league with a vacant owner? The undefeated team clearly cornered that guy IRL was like "Hey give me Elliot since I know you don't care I'll just trade you some scraps." Might even be one of those "Hey I'll buy you lunch" situations.


That's pretty clearly collusion to me



e: If the 1-6 guy were setting his lineup every week and were actuary trying, then it would just be a bad trade. I'm willing to bet that Benjamin and Coleman are like that guy's WR5 and 6 and Eli is his backup to an every week starter and he's just trading bench fodder for a RB1
