I'm also starting Taylor tomorrow at QB due to Brady being on a bye...so if Benjamin is out/has low targets, it could be a major nightmare if I have 2 duds right off the bat.

 

My other league: Should I start Alfred Morris or Sterling Shepard in the Flex (I have Melvin Gordon on a bye). .5 PPR.

I'm actually leaning Shepard because I don't know how Dallas is going to do their backfield yet.

 

Is Richardson the better play in ppr over Locket ?

 

For sure. Lockett’s touches are way too inconsistent.

 

I think so.

 

Chiefs defense a sit this week?

 

I wouldn’t think so. Especially with Zeke not playing.

Also isn’t Tamba Hali supposed to be back this week?

 

Yeah, he might be worthy of rolling the dice on a bye week this week. But i would definitely consider other options until we see how that backfield pans out.

 

Yeah with the mid-week trade and playing against Denver I’d really prefer not to play Ajayi if I had the choice. Should be all systems go after the bye I think though, he has RB1 potential

 

6-2 in both my work and friends league, pretty stoked on my teams also. But if anyone has any suggestions how to tweak via trade input is welcome!

Work league (1 QB, 1 PPR)

QB - Winston, wentz
RB - Gurley, Ajayi, Dougernaut, Mack
WR - Julio, Jeffrey, Fuller, Shepard, juju
TE - Engram, Doyle
D - Vikings, cardinals (Just for the week for the Vikings bye)

Friends league (2 QB, .5 PPR)

QB - Watson, Wilson, Mariota
RB - Bell, fournette, dougernaut, McKinnon, gore, Mack
WR - cooks, Crabtree, Fuller, juju
TE - Engram
D - Vikings, Texans

I think I can continue winning with my rosters as is, but any suggestions are great.

 

Had been grasping my #1 waiver pick for around 4-5 weeks, decided to burn it on Collins and drop Buck Allen. His YPC, for those that qualify, is only lower than Kareem Hunt. Really hoping he's a second-half lottery ticket, and that the Ravens offense starts...offense-ing.

 

I have Jordy in one league and Adams in another and I don’t feel great about starting either of them

 

As someone who went full Jordy and scooped him at the 5 pick (!!!), I agree that it's tough. Buttttt...I mean you gotta start him haha.

 

Pretty similar teams!

QB: Watson, Carr
WR: Hopkins, K. Benjamin, Crabtree, Watkins, Agahlor
RB: Bell, Fournette, Kamara, Foreman, Yeldon
TE: Rudolph, Cook
D: Seattle

 

Is Randall Cobb even remotely worth picking up off of the waivers as a FA? Would I be dumb to drop Robert Woods off my bench for him?

 

I would say stay far away from Cobb, as a former Cobb owner myself who held onto him for too long

 

That's what I thought. I held onto him too long in a league where I had DeAndre Hopkins and Julio Jones and I finally dropped him, but in this league I am paper thin at receiver. Baldwin, Funchess, Anderson, and Woods. I did pick up Corey Davis and I'm hoping that pans out.

 

I think I'm finally done with Jameis Winston. I'm 2-6 in a league where I have the third most points (also had the third most points scored against me). But, the week where he got hurt and last week I literally lost by like 3 points. It's crazy that a team where I have DeAndre Hopkins, Julio Jones, Todd Gurley, and Jordan Howard I am 2-6. It doesn't help that 4 out of my 6 losses have come on a week where I played against the person in the league who scored the most points that week and I scored the 2nd most points.

Even at 2-6 I still feel like I can make the playoffs if I win out. I may even be able to sneak in at 6-7 because we always have like one person sneak into the playoffs with a losing record. I'm trying to dig myself out of the hole and it seems like every week I'm going to win and then the other team has a kicker or a defense just go nuts out of nowhere and I lose. I think the solution is to let Jameis Winston go and just start streaming the QB position.

Honestly, does this look like a team that should be 2-6 (I really don't think it does, but maybe someone sees something that I don't and I can try to do something to make it better), I'm okay with any suggestions for maybe possible players to trade away to get better players. This is my league and the first year I made the playoffs and did okay, but last year I came in dead last in points and win/loss and I've tried to hard this year to do better and it seems like I just can't catch a break. I know it's just fantasy, but the insults from friends has gotten to be too much (not really).

1PPR

QB: Jameis Winston
QB: Tyrod Taylor (just picked him up because winston has the Q tag)
RB: Jordan Howard
RB: Todd Gurley
RB: Buck Allen
RB: Bilal Powell
RB: Damien Williams (picked him up with low expectations, but hoping something might happen)
RB: Dion Lewis
WR: DeAndre Hopkins
WR: Julio Jones
WR: Jeremy Maclin
WR: Corey Davis
TE: Cameron Brate
TE: Vernon Davis
K: Ryan Succop
DEF: Bengals (this was my leftover streamer from last week, there really isn't anyone worth picking up on the waivers this week)

Edit: The waivers are a wasteland. People have been working it like crazy this year. So, there really isn't anyone worth picking up.

 

I would see no reason sitting Watson the rest of the year so maybe try packaging Wilson (cuz I don't think you'd get any takers on Mariota) and one of your RBs like McKinnon for another WR or TE, just to get a little more depth there. But like you said, your roster is pretty solid as is, so if there aren't any good trades out there, not the end of the world.

 

First person to tell me how to set this lineup I will set it and not touch it (I’m just over thinking way too much this season).

1PPR

QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, Flex

Jameis Winston
Tyrod Taylor
Julio Jones
Jermey Maclin
DeAndre Hopkins
Corey Davis
Todd Gurley
Buck Allen
Bilal Powell
Damien Williams
Dion Lewis
Jordan Howard
Cameron Brate
Vernon Davis

This is how I currently have it set

QB: Tyrod Taylor
WR: Julio Jones
WR: DeAndre Hopkins
WR: Jeremy Maclin
RB: Todd Gurley
RB: Buck Allen
TE: Cameron Brate
Flex: Vernon Davis
K: Ryan Succop
Def: Bengals

 

i like it the way you have set up, maybe just rotate out vernon davis for bilal powell if reed does play.

 

Thanks, I think that was just what I needed to hear. It’s sad how much I overthink a game I really don’t have that much control over.

 

Guys. I need help, who should I start at flex Paul Richardson, Tyler Locket or Robert Woods ? It's ppr.

 

I would say Richardson has highest ceiling.

 

Now, who should I replace Devante Adams with, Woods or Locket ? Or should I leave Adams as is ?
