Pick a flex:

Jamaal Williams
Kennan Allen
Kelvin Benjamin
Jordy Nelson
Latavius Murray
Rex Burkhead

I'm leaning on Jamaal Williams, especially if Ty is out. I have Diggs and Woods starting at WR1 and WR2 and Lamar Miller and Kenyan Drake at RB 1 and 2 (Davonte Freeman out this week). Allen, Benjamin and Nelson all seem kind of useless right now. Murray and Burkhead have great match-ups but who knows how many snaps they'll play.

 

This is tough, Bortles has the far more favorable matchup but he is who he is, go Keenum and hope it's a shootout?

 

Trade proposed to me, I give Carr and Hyde and receive Michael Thomas and Alex Collins.

My team:

QB: Wentz, Carr, Roethlisberger (Ben was bye week cover for the others)
RB: McCaffrey, Hyde, Ingram, Tevin, Cohen
WR: Jordy, Amari, Agholor, Hurns

His team:

QB: Cutler
RB: Hunt, Devonte Freeman, Jamal Williams, Alex Collins, Darkwa
WR: Thomas, JuJu, Landry, Demaryius, Hogan, Gordon

I take this, right? I'm in the playoff hunt but not in control of my own destiny

 

yes, thats a fair deal for you. You could certainly use the WR help and you have decent RB depth. Carr is whatever since you have Wentz.

 

As a Michael Thomas owner, his floor is about as good as it gets in fantasy. He has not had a week-winning game, but he consistently puts up great numbers in PPR and is a target machine. Only thing that scares me on Thomas is that the Saints are going for the power run game with Ingram-Kamara and their blowout games have let them lean on the run to kill time even more...

 

Forgot to add earlier but it is PPR. Gonna take the deal, thanks to both.

 

I have had the worst luck with QB's in one of my leagues this year. Lost a lot of my games because of the position. Started off drafting Jameis Winston and Andy Dalton as my QB's. Winston couldn't go week 1 because of hurricane, so I got a solid 1 point from Andy Dalton and still only lost by 1.8 points week 1. Week 6, Winston goes out and I get a solid 2.44 points from him, and lost by 0.44 points. Week 8, Winston said he's good to go, my dumbass trusts him, he goes out halfway through the game, gets me a solid 5.7 points, and I lose by 5.6 points. Week 10 I roll with Tyrod Taylor because he has a pretty decent matchup and is the best available QB, get a solid 3.94 points from him, and lose by a good amount of points that game, but would have had much more of chance that week had my QB just put up a good game.

So, for 4 weeks this season I got a combined 13.08 points from the QB position. I am now officially 3-7 in my own league. Like I said in a previous post. Need a miracle to make the playoffs and I have the 3rd most points in the league.

Needless to say, it's time to get crazy and I'm rolling with Bortles this week. If I win out and a few of the 5-5 teams lose out and some of the 4-6 teams lose out for the rest of the season I'll be the one person with the losing record to make it to the playoffs. We've had a team with a losing record make it every year this league has been going so that gives me a little hope.

However, I almost hope my wife beats me this week so there is absolutely no chance of me making it anymore. She's 1-9 so it'll probably happen this week with the luck I've been having.

 

Yo, I've got DeAndre Hopkins, Michaal Thomas, Tyreek Hill, and Alshon Jeffery as my WR group. I've got 2 WR spots and a flex, standard PPR. Which do you bench? Thinking of leaving Jeffery out.

 

would you guys trade (my) Mckinnon for Diggs? 0.5 PPR

RBs: Gurley, Kamara, A. Morris, Perine
WRs: Tyreek, Jordy, Parker, Kupp, C. Davis, Agholor

need an upgrade at WR badly.

 

thats tough but I think I might agree.

 

Yes

 

1000%. I guess the health has become the big "if" for Diggs but in terms of pure upside you are making out like a bandit on this!

 

ya, I was leaning towards doing it too. Mind you, I am the one proposing it so who knows if the other guy will accept, but all he has at RB is Dion Lewis and Jamaal Williams and he is loaded with WRs. In this league, NO ONE trades. I made it McKinnon and Jordy for Diggs and Aaron Jones (who I know is hurt but whatever)

 

Jordy...

Took a "risk" and jumped to take him fifth overall which was panning out to be good value prior to the AR injury. Terrible. Him and Rodgers have a brain link...he can catch it deep, he can catch it one yard out for a TD. And now he's basically droppable!

 

yup, its so frustrating.

so far on this team, I have lost:

Spencer Ware
Dalvin Cook
Allen Robinson
Tyler Eifert
Jordy Nelson becoming shitty without Rodgers

and I am still 8-2 and headed for the bye. my lineup right now COULD BE:

Dak Prescott
Todd Gurley
Dalvin Cook
Tyreek Hill
Jordy Nelson or Allen Robinson
Tyler Eifert
Alvin Kamara

I'd never lose lol

 

My lineup in one league is

Brees
Fournette
Bell
Michael Thomas
Tyreek Hill
Graham
Jax D

and I am only 5-5

 

Who’s on your bench? I’ve learned this year it is very very important to have depth for bye weeks and injuries.

 

Need a #2 RB for PPR...pick one:

Dion Lewis @ OAK
Rex Burkhead @ OAK
Latavius Murray v. LAR
Ameer Abdullah @ CHI
Jamaal Willaims vs BAL

I'm leaning towards one of the top two....I have the Rams D so I don't want to play Murray, but he's getting a ton of volume and the rams D isnt great against the run fantasywise. But he's less valuable in a PPR

HALP ME

 

Demarco Murray....cmon man! Ugh.

 

Last night was the first time this season I’ve had double digits from my kicker. Boswell had 19 to make up for JuJu’s 6 points.

 

I grabbed Jamaal Williams. Hopefully he has a solid outing.

 

Sheesh Antonio Brown.

 

Alfred Morris or Jamaal Williams for flex?

 

Williams. Eagles will wreck Morris.

 

Still need help...I have Tom Brady so if Burkhead does score it’ll most likely be a double dip
