His answer in the post game interview pretty much sums it up. Paraphrasing but basically it was "I believe in the system. I don't do anything outside the system, and I just look for my opportunities inside the system." CJ Anderson is going to be good for the same reasons that Foster was in Kubiak's offense. What I'm saying is CJ Anderson is basically Arian Foster, for better or for worse. Mikey Purp fucked around with this message at 05:41 on Sep 9, 2016 |

I lost Keenan last week, and while I generally feel like I'm still in decent shape, I am considering making some moves. 2QB, 0.5PPR, 12 team league, start 2qb, 2wr, 2rb, 1 flex: QBs: Derek Carr, Matt Ryan, Andy Dalton RBs: Todd Gurley, Spencer Ware, Frank Gore, Ameer Abdullah, Tevin Coleman WRs: Julio Jones, Julian Edelman, Tajae Sharpe, Kennan Allen (IR  )Now, Ware obviously has an expiration date on him, but I'm also feeling fairly confident that at least one of Abdullah or Coleman will shake out as an RB2 with upside for the rest of the season. If Todd Gurley busts this year then I may be in trouble, but in general, my RB situation seems solid. My WRs on the other hand, are obviously super shallow right now. Julio and Edelman should play out as a solid as hell WR1 and WR2 duo, but until we see more truth from Tajae, I'm not feeling super confident with him as my WR3. So I've got waiver wire bids in for Williams, Michael Thomas, and Mike Wallace in that order. Other options are Steve Smith, Eli Rogers (but I think he fades once Wheaton is back), Pryor, Cruz, Dorsett or Kerley. I just have no idea how to sort out these guys and who to prioritize. I'm also thinking about moving Ware to the Charles owner for some WR depth, but his WRs aren't great - OBJ, Diggs, Torrey Smith, Will Fuller and Mo Sanu. Would my Ware for his Fuller and Diggs/Sanu be a stupid move? Mikey Purp fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Sep 13, 2016 |

Swarmin Swedes posted:How does this look as a waiver wire bid process for a .5 PPR league where I really need a WR How crucial is it that you land one of Williams or Riddick? I think your bids on those guys seem low, so if you want/need one of them at all costs I recommend upping the bid by at least 50%. Most sites are recommending $15-20 bids for both of them FWIW.

Rorobb posted:Doing FAAB for the first time this year in one of my leagues - it's a 12 team redraft with $100 budget. We had someone bid $30 on Tyrell Williams and someone else bid $12 on Eli Rogers and $6 on Larry Donnell. All three of those bids are pretty high right, especially Tyrell Williams? I'm not positive because I've never done FAAB before but these bids seem fairly aggressive.... $30 for an undrafted, unproven player with a total of 2 quarters of game tape definitely seems high, but on the other hand if the owner is hurting for WRs and Williams takes over even 70% of Keenan's role in that offense then it's more than worth the investment. In general though, your FAAB dollars are better spent early in the season on a player that hits and returns value all season long, and bids tend to be inflated earlier in the season and then start to drop as most owners deplete their rolls.

If I can offload Gurley on another owner in exchange for Jamaal Charles, should I do it? Right now I'm feeling like I'd do it straight up if he was into it, and anything else I could get would just be a bonus. I currently own Ware.

I appreciate being told to stand down, but did you watch the game? It wasn't just one game, it was one historically terrible game. I mean Gurley was great, he performed like a first round pick. But the rest of that team looked absolutely dogshit. Case Keenum looked like a JV high school kid pulled off the street and thrown into the huddle and it doesn't seem like there's anyone better waiting in the wings. I guess I'm just worried that this trend is going to continue and Gurley will be forced to grind out a hard 50 or 60 net yards with 70 to 80 yards after contact until he inevitably breaks down. Spiros posted:Gurley will be a god as soon as someone in LA figures out how to throw a football. This is what I'm afraid of, though. I don't see anyone on that team figuring out how to throw a ball any time soon. Or at least, I feel like they'd rather tank than let Goff get skewered this year. E: But alright, I am trusting in the goonsensus and refraining from making any brash moves yet. Mikey Purp fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Sep 14, 2016 |

BigFactory posted:I wouldn't be starting either of them this week. Both of my starting RBs are on bye the same week and I'm trying to sure up backups. Counterpoint to Papes, Gore is a serviceable RB2 with a decent floor, whereas DJax is going to be a dart throw WR1 to WR3 every week who leans more towards the WR3 end of the spectrum if Cousins continues to regress. I think that's an even trade in a vacuum, and it's mostly up to you to decide if the makeup of your team would be better off with Gore than DJax. I agree with Papes that if the sole reason you're going to make this trade is for bye week considerations, that's a bad reason.

I'd shoot for Snead, I think he's the real deal and still being undervalued.

The details are kind of fuzzy, but I remember from the preseason when Stevie Johnson tore his meniscus that it sounded like it is possible to rehab without surgery, and that's actually the better option from the player's actual health point of view, but it has a longer recovery time. Surgery can result in a quicker overall recover but there were two types of surgery that they could do, one with a recovery time of, I want to say, 3-6 weeks and the other a season-ender. Trying to actually dig up the source from when this happened to Johnson. E: I can't find the specifics, but here's a good run-down from the doc himself. Dr. Jene Bramel posted:Meniscal tears can be repaired (usually when the injury is to the thicker part of the meniscus at the outside of the joint) or the torn fragment can be removed or trimmed. To prevent damage to the articular cartilage and its associated high risk of arthritis, standard of care is to repair or preserve as much of the meniscus as possible. Players who have meniscal fragments removed can return to play much more quickly (one to two weeks) than those who have their meniscus repaired (six weeks and often longer). So if it really is a meniscus tear, sounds like Peterson will be taking a minimum of 1-2 weeks off. Mikey Purp fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Sep 19, 2016 |

Davante Parker is on waivers in my league (It's me, I'm the guy that dropped him), seems like he would be worth throwing down 30% of your bank roll if you are WR-needy, yes or no? E: Realistically, there are so many other Top Waiver Priorities that will be flying around this week that I could probably grab Parker for less, but based on the last few weeks of last season and what we saw yesterday, he seems worth spending extra on to make sure I get him.

Yes I would mash that. What we've seen from Gurley the last two weeks is his absolute floor, and the schedule will ease up for the Rams going forward. Meanwhile Freeman is definitely losing ground in Atlanta and is figuring to finish the season as an RB2, and I don't think that Kuechly to Bowman is too much of a downgrade unless your scoring gives huge bonuses for interceptions or something.

commish posted:I have some concerns about Gurley. The offense just looks so weak. It's only 2 weeks and all, sure, but I would expect teams to play the run each game. Well I'm the guy who was posting in this thread asking if I should trade Gurley for Charles straight up, so I definitely understand where you're coming from. But that being said, the offense showed some signs of life yesterday (not that it was hard to improve on week 1), and the defense was actually resembling their 2015 form, which is key. Gurley will be at a minimum a volume RB2 as long as the D is decent, and his value will rise if the passing game starts to click in any way. Bottom line: I'm not saying that Gurley is going to return on his draft position, but now is not the time to cut bait on him. With regard to the specific trade that we were discussing, I would much rather have him on my team than Freeman because at least Gurley has the a lock on his position and the big play talent to continue to trend upward. Bottom line, I'm holding Gurley and planning to test the market once he has his first breakout game.

Doltos posted:First one by a lot. Bell vs Johnson is going to be a wash and Evans could legit finish in the top 5 of WRs this year since Jameis throws at him 16 times a game. Not saying you are wrong, but just FYI Landry has only one fewer target than Evans this year, and he actually finished with more targets than Evans last year (167 to 148). Landry is also #2 behind only Stefon Diggs in average receptions per game, and percentage of their team's total receptions. The big reason that Evans has more upside is red zone usage, but I'm getting pretty nervous for the Bucs offense given the schedule and how Jameis looked against a legit defense last week.

Jerrick McKinnon DeVante Parker Dwayne Washington Quincy Enunwa Mike Wallace Victor Cruz Christine Michael Matt Asiata E: dude who offered me Zeke + Marvin for my Gurley is now backing down and backpedaling to Demarco Murray + Michael Floyd. I still kinda feel like accepting, but trying to see if I can get him to do Zeke + Floyd or Murray + Jones. Other option is Murray + Jennings or Blount, since I don't think Floyd would actually be an upgrade over my current WRs. Thoughts?

I'm coming around to Floyd potentially being a buy low candidate right now, but I'm concerned about Demarco losing more carries to Zangief as the season goes on. If it helps, my RBs are Gurley, Gore, Coleman and Ware (just lost Abdullah) and my WRs are Julio, Edelman, Tyrell and Tajae. Fake Edit: he is intent on moving a WR, so Murray + Jennings is off the table, but I could try for the longshot Arob + Jennings or Blount.

MrSargent posted:What are everyone's thoughts on Fat Eddie? His YPC is actually decent through 2 games. 26/111 is 4.3 YPC, he just hasn't gotten enough attempts or a TD to push him into acceptable scores. My take is that he's running well and we're not seeing Starks stealing carries, but the offense as a whole is just slumping, which limits his opportunities and upside. I haven't looked at his yards after contact, but I think that would be a good indicator of whether or not he's back to 2014 form. My guess would be that he's pretty close to it, but the bigger difference is that Rodgers isnt breaking the game like he used to and creating as much running room.
