I Give: Denard Robinson, Greg Olsen, Vincent Jackson

Recieve: Eddie Lacy, Charles Clay, Adam V(Kicker)

PS, the person i offered this to is 0-8 in our league and overvalues Lacy.

If he accepts my team main players will be

Brees

Lacy, Forsett, Bush, T-Rich

Nelson, Sanders, Gordon (stashed)

Jimmy Graham

Seahawks D

Thoughts and thanks!

 

I'm not seeing the upside to this trade.  Lacy hasn't been playing up to snuff and I think Denard R. just had 2 100 yard games in a row.

 

Greg Olsen is seeing plenty of targets thanks to the fact that it's only him and Kelvin Benjamin for the Panthers.

 

And VJax for a kicker?  

 

I don't see one spot where you are improving.  Maybe with Lacy but I'm not sure after Denard R. just had 2 100 yard games that I'd be eager to give him away for Lacy who I don't think has had a 100 yard game yet.  

[Narcosys]

Andrew hawkins vs TB

Or

M. Sanu vs Jax

Both good matchups. Sanu had 19 points vs. Baltimore last week and Hawkins had 21 vs oak.

Have Dez Bryant for WR1 and bradshaw in my flex.

I agree with Valpo...no way I make that trade...

[21isSuperman]

Should I trade Gio Bernard and another piece for a top QB, like Luck?  I could then pick up Charles Sims or Ryan Mathews to replace him for my RBs, giving me Sims/Mathews, Lamar Miller, and Jerick McKinnon

I can't give you an answer for that one....too many variables, esp with Matthews still injured and injury prone...

Is AJ Green due back against Jax?  I think if Green is still out then I'd play Sanu.  With Green back in the game I think I would play Hawkins.

Who's your current QB?  I mean if you have a mid level QB right now as a starter then maybe not but if you've got a low level QB you might consider doing that.

I have Carson Palmer, who has been playing decently well, and Nick Foles, who I expect to play better when Kelce and Mathis return from injuries

Those two, especially Nick Foles strike me as mid level starters.  I wouldn't be giving up too much to try and upgrade to a top level QB.

Sounds good.  I'll stick with Gio.  Thanks!

Need 2 WRs from these (leaning towards the bolded)

 

League 1: Emmanuel Sanders at Pats, Doug Baldwin vs Raiders, Odell Beckham Jr. vs Colts, Michael Crabtree vs Rams

 

League 2: Steve Smith Sr. at Pitt, Doug Baldwin vs Raiders, Odell Beckham Jr. vs Colts

I can't argue with those.  There could be some argument for Baldwin based on matchup but he's never a big fantasy producer and the Seahawks like to run the ball anyways.  Same thing with Crabtree.

I agree with you both as I would be "losing" the trade but like I said this guy severely overvalued Lacy. One of our other owners offered him Maclin and some cash this past week. He said no and Maclin scored 30pts. He's 0-8 and still thinks he can make the playoffs. Blames the losses on bad team management. Funny thing is, I looked at his game logs and none of his games were even close, not even with a move here or there. Personally I think his team name should be Blowout City.

Anyway, this clown accepted the trade (which I wanted him to do) then when I got to work ( it's a work league) my boss told me the guy wants to back out of the deal because his phone "accidentally" accepted the trade. I even went as far as offering Emmanuel Sanders/Greg Olsen/Denard Robinson for Lacy/Benjamin/Doug Martin and he said no. Oh well no sweat off my back. Sorry or rambling.

[Luck_Is_Skilled]

My current rbs are Forsett, D. Robinson, T-Rich, Bush and Ryan Mathews.

I have a potential trade in the works where I send Mathews and receive Rashad Jennings.

My question is, who do I drop, Bush or T-Rich?

Bush..I just dropped him this week...even when he comes back, Joique Bell is getting all the reps and the short yardage /goal line carries...I just picked up cause i have a ton of people on byes next week..Talifiero from Balt...he's getting some reps behind Forsett and is getting the TD's from him as well...not saying to replace Forsett, but he's producing better than Bush...and T-Rich was doing decently before he got dinged up..he'll still be sharing the load with Bradshaw when he comes back.

 

I'd make that Matthews trade as well..will he be able to beat out Brandon Oliver when he does come back, and he gets hurt way too often..

[Luck_Is_Skilled]

I need a starter and a flex;

D. Hopkins vs PHI

K. Allen @MIA

Greg Olsen vs NO

Thanks.

I'd go with Keenan Allen and Greg Olsen.

Here is my roster at my church league (10 team, you will notice they have been a little tardy on the waiver moves for me to snag a few good ones ):

 

QB: Tom Brady, Matt Ryan

 

WR: Dez Bryant, Odell Beckham Jr., Roddy White, Cordarelle Patterson

 

RB: Eddie Lacy, Arian Foster, Ronnie Hillman, Brandon Oliver, Reggie Bush, Rashad Jennings

 

TE: Zach Ertz

 

D/ST: Bengals

 

K: Cody Parkey

 

As you can notice, my TE spot is weak and 2 RBs are hobbling (Bush and Jennings). My D/ST and K, I play matchups, primarily.

 

Martavis Bryant is available on the waiver wire. The question is, do I need him, given my roster? If yes, who do I drop?

You dont "need'" Bryant but he would be an excellent pick up for the low, low price of Reggie Bush.

I listened to you and dropped Reggie Bush and picked up Martavis Bryant. Let me see how it goes.

Ugg I have Greg Olsen, didn't work out too well so sorry for that.  Cam doesn't seem to be playing as well as he usually does and his receivers are suffering.

[coltfily]

I too got bit by Cam Newton being inaccurate because I had Benjamin. Now I have to scramble in a PPR league for a solid flex. Vereen,Gore,Randle,Oliver. Please pick one

[pacolts56]

I'd take Gore coming off the bye week at home...he may not be the best PPR play, but I think he'll get the most touches of all those choices.

[Valpo2004]

IDK, especially with PPR there is a good argument for Vereen.

 

Ugg I had both Olsen and Benjamin at the same time.  Cam killed me this week.

There is....Vereen is one of those feast or famine producers who can strike for a lot of targets and a TD or two. And the NE-Denver game should be a shootout so Vereen certainly isn't a bad choice.

 

I'd just be a little skittish as to whether he out-touches Gore, who gets the lion's share of carries for SF.

 

I guess I've been burnt once too often by Belichick and Sean Payton, who've driven me crazy almost every time I've relied on any of their RBs. They always seem to have a stable full and I gamble on the wrong guy.

[chad72]

Gore gets a lot of carries but not many catches. Vereen will get a lot of catches since there will not be much for Jonas Gray between the tackles, to be honest.

 

Philip Rivers LOVES to throw it to his RBs. Ryan Mathews won't be back till after the bye week 10 in week 11. With the weather the way it is, something tells me that a game like the Pats-Broncos ends up in the high 20s and low 30s and not the high 30s shootout everyone predicts. Vereen will be great for PPR, so will Oliver.

 

Vereen or Oliver is how I narrow it down first based on the above. Vereen has other NE RBs for competition for snaps, Oliver does not at a significant level. By process of elimination, going by how good the Dolphins have played pass D lately and how Matt Forte got 2 TDs a couple of weeks ago vs the Dolphins, I'm leaning towards Brandon Oliver vs the Dolphins.

[T Y Goodbye]

The weather is going to play big factors on the East Coast games Sunday. NE is forecasting rain/snow, temp in the 40's during the day, with 20mph winds...I'm benching my best WR E. Sanders for this game..I don't think the score is going to be high in that game for sure in conditions like that.. Thank goodness the storms will be gone by Mon Night, so the Colts/Giants game will be played in decent weather.

[ScissorMeTimbers]

First and foremost, I have no doubt that the Colts will come out on top this Monday against the Giants...I will be at the bar in my Mathis jersey cheering them on with a Yuengling in hand.

 

With that said...I have Rueben Randle and Odell Beckham Jr. on my fantasy roster (12-team standard scoring) and I'm having hard time deciding between the two. The rankings all over the internet say that Randle is the obvious start but I have my doubts knowing that Vontae is back and he is shutdown corner. Does Vontae shadow the WR1 or does he play to a single side? I'm leaning towards Beckham but I'd like to know everyones thoughts on which Giants WR to start against our Colts.

 

Thanks.

I put Beckham in my lineup for Emmanuel Sanders due to the weather...in 3 weeks playing Beckham has 3 TD's and Eli seems to have a rapport with him that he doesn't have with Randle...imo..I figure if the Colts win like 30-14 I want Beckham to get the 2 TD's..lol.

[jvan1973]

Hoyer or RG3 for this week only

[CR91]

if romo cant go should I bench bryant vs the cards for doug baldiwn vs the raiders

[Narcosys]

Ya same questiom. Bench Bryant for Sanu?

[Narcosys]

Hoyer or RG3 for this week only

Rg3 may have a higher ceiling but i don't see him reaching it. Hoyer faces a defense that is allowing the most passing yards in the league.

  You do know that it will be freezing at MetLife on Monday night with a chance of terrible wind don't you? I don't care if they play in total darkness, theres no way Sanders should be benched in ANY week. 

[T Y Goodbye]

Forecast for Giants Stadium tomorrow night. 49 degrees, no precipitation, winds WSW at 7 MPH...I'll take that over the weather in Foxboro tonight. Normally, I wouldn't take out Sanders...but I just have this feeling that its going to be very low scoring....I probably am wrong, but I'm going with my gut feeling.

You were right...I had a huge lead, but he had Brady, Brown and O Daniels going...while I had H Miller and the Balt D...I still have Beckham to go tomorrow and I'm losing

 

98,02 to 97.78....0.24 points....ugh..when he had 15.36.

 

I should have already won, had I gone the way I should have, instead of over-thinking and benching one of my very best players...And, can you believe I started Brandon Oliver in Flex, who got me hardly anything, and I also had on the bench Martavis Bryant, who had 47 yards and 2 TD's leaving 16.7 point on my bench...Between Sanders and Bryant, I had 33 points on my bench....so if I lose, its all on me...

 

This is the second time this year, i changed my mind and put a player that I know should have started, over one that shouldn't have and that one cost me a win, as i lost by 2 points...I learned my lesson...Start the best you have...and have faith in your team...

 

Thanks for trying to talk me out of it...I debated changing it all the way til game time..so if I lose I deserve it...

[nburgmei]

Ben Tate or Terrance West? Tate started out so well once he came back from injury, but the Browns in general have put up a few rushing duds recently. The Browns are a pretty frustrating rushing situation.

 

Speaking of that, Tre Mason...think he's worth stashing?

Neither. Ever since alex mack went out the Browns have averaged. 1.9 yards per attempt

[Narcosys]

So Brady is on bye. My option is Newton @Phi or pick up Cutler @GB.

Both bad matchups I think, but Cutler is outperforming Newton.

Yeah neither is doing well at the moment but Newton hasn't been that good recently and is a greater risk.
