Should I try to trade Chris Thompson while he's hot? If so, what would be a viable trade option for him? I'm in need of a WR.

 

Who should I go after on the waiver wire, Chris Carson or Derrick Henry ?

 

I'd put claims for both but I'd probably want Henry first

 

That's what I'd figured.

 

Yeah definitely try to get both. I'm kind of surprised both are available to be honest.

 

just want to make sure people know this because one guy in one of my leagues didn't:

you can put in claims for 2 different players dropping the same player. Obviously if you get the first one, you won't get the 2nd one because you can't drop the same player twice.

Just thought I'd make sure everyone knows that.

 

Yeah I always make sure I put in a few claims adding/dropping the same player. It gets a bit confusing after you've added a few though haha.

 

Yup. Not everyone knows this. Another thing people don't know is you can order your targets in who you want the most

 

Some people smh

 

I'm a dunce and dropped Javorius Allen going into week 2 thinking it was going to be a split workload in the Ravens' backfield so now I can't put a claim in for him. I'm putting one in for Chris Thompson and crossing my fingers because my RBs are Hunt, Murray (hurt, losing carries to Henry), Martin (suspended until week 5), and Woodhead (IR).

If it doesn't work out, I may try to swing a trade with this guy who had both Ajayi and Gordon at RB. His top 3 WRs are Pryor, Marvin Jones, and Agholor, so I was thinking that maybe I trade him OBJ for Ajayi straight up? I have Allen and Benjamin as my other two starting WRs. Thoughts? Should I just stay put and keep guessing at RB2 until Murray is healthy or until Martin comes back (assuming he's even good this year)?

 

OBJ for Ajayi straight up? Whew. I wouldn't do it. If you feel like you have to make a move, offer OBJ + a decent bench player for Ajayi and Marvin Jones or Agholor (depending on who you like more).

 

I would definitely not trade OBJ for Ajayi straight up, Allen is good but Benjamin isn't that great especially with Cam playing the way he is.

 

I'm in the early stages of figuring out what it is exactly that I want to do. Here's my team compared to his (his is hot garbage):

Mine:
QB: Newton, Wilson
WR: OBJ, Allen, Benjamin, Brown, Moncrief, Golladay, Shepard
RB: Hunt, Murray, Martin, Woodhead
TE: Rudolph
DEF: Carolina
K: Lutz

His:
QB: Prescott, Smith
WR: Pryor, M. Jones, Agholor, Amendola
RB: Ajayi, Gordon, Cohen, Lewis
TE: Ertz
DEF: Denver, LA Rams
K: Tucker, Gano

 

What do we think of Jordan Howard? Can I even start him? Fuck my life

 

I'm certainly trying to keep OBJ because I feel like I have a strong advantage at WR over a lot of other people in my league right now with him and Allen, plus Benjamin if/when Cam and the Panthers offense get it together.

But there's nobody good out on the waivers unless I get Thompson with my waiver pick or unless someone leave J. Allen out there. As far as trading other teams, I'm not sure I have anything to offer that anybody would want. Others are either struggling at RB or QB.

 

How about something like Benjamin and Martin for Ajayi? Hunt and Ajayi is pretty much all you would need at RB. Then you'll have Murray for flex and/or bye weeks (depending on his health)

 

I feel like either this guy wouldn't do that or the commissioner wouldn't allow it. The way my one league works is the commission needs to approve the trade before it goes through.

 

I would never play in a league where the league's trades are confirmed or denied by the commish

thats bogus

 

And he wonders why nobody ever does trades, especially with him

 

Update: He said he'd trade me Gordon. I'm thinking I could trade him Benjamin and either Murray or Martin?

 

Considering I just traded for Ajayi, I think I'm gonna try to net a TE using McCaffrey as trade bait.

 

I'm looking to trade away Terrelle Pryor. I know its only 2 games, but I feel like I dont want any part of that Redskins offense. Who are some realistic targets I could go after? Either RB or WR.

 

I'm sticking with Pryor. I think they'll get their passing game flowing soon. And Cousins doesn't really have anyone else to throw to besides Reed who is hardly ever healthy.

 

I got offered Kyle Rudolph for McCaffrey.
Another guy offered me my choice of Evan Ingram or Jimmy Graham for McCaffrey.

I traded my TE for Ajayi. So I have no need for McCaffrey and he hasn't performed well. What should I do?

 

It's gonna be McCaffrey for either Rudolph or Evan Ingram. Not sure what one
