I was just offered Michael Floyd and Kirk Cousins for Lamar Miller. I countered with L. Green and Gillisee for le'veon Bell. At least when I try to trade for star players I offer people I'm starting not low end bench filler

That was one of the better offers I received from that guy.

He's just hoping you accidentally hit the accept button.

Be hilarious if he accidentally accepted.

 

[rangerssharks414]

He's just hoping you accidentally hit the accept button.

That's how I feel about almost every trade offer that I get.

 

[Habsolument]

Alright, so my friend just offered me Le'Veon Bell and Mike Davis for Freeman and CMike. I also have David Johnson and Crowell on my team. I should 100% do this trade right?

 

[Little Bo Pete]

Nelson looking slow and disinterested, not even trying out there. Frustrating as hell because you know you cant bench him.

 

[Terry Yake]

really don't know why i even bother starting guys on TNF.

1 pt from thomas last week. 1 point from meredith so far tonight

Same, but its stronger than me. Lol, i know i'll be watching so i feel i have to start them. Although so far i'm happy with my last second decision to bench Howard

Yeah, do it.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Ugh. I started Meredith and Jordy in the same league. And in that league, I'm facing the worst team in the league, and I already lost to that person earlier in the year.

He had Green Bay's defense and Ty Montgomery, so I basically lost already. Ugh...

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

WR's on TNF have been bad all year, obviously Montgomery had a good game

 

[Pharrell Williams]

this is the lineup i am starting this week:

eli manning
legarrette blount
james white
kenny britt
mike wallace
hunter henry
isaiah crowell
gostkowski
cardinals d



... i am number one in my league.

I like the Broncos upcoming schedule after Houston. (SD , OAK, NO). Would be nice if you could make the trade after this week.

One thing about Ware that hurts him imo is if he fumbles he's done and Charles is in full time. Ware doesn't really have a problem with fumbles but he had a couple bad ones this year Chiefs don't score a ton of pts so i doubt Andy Reid's tolerance for mistakes like that will be low when you have Charles on the sidelines.

I like Martin better than Anderson, but I read that Martin suffered a setback.

I'd hold out and see if he ups his offer. You're OK with Ware even if he doesn't. It's a tough call.

I think that I'd keep Ware to be honest. I think even with Charles coming back, they're going to split carries. And Ware has proven that he can be productive with 10-15 carries, which is probably what Charles will get too. Plus, CJ's touches have been seriously trending downwards. From roughly 20 the first couple weeks, down to 11 and 10 the last two. Plus, Booker is supposed to have earned more carries according to the coach.



Martin I would do

Update on this item.

Ended up trading Ware for Christine Michaels. I thought this was a pretty good move, gonna take a hit this week probably but he'll border on RB1 status for 4 weeks till Rawls gets back, and then we'll see, but I think CMike's got this job locked up.

 

[Zorf]

I started Jordy Nelson and Jordan Howard last night. They combined for 4.6 points.

Suuuper.


and I started Merideth in my other league.

Damnit!

Need to pick up a defense this week in one league. Dallas is on a bye. I'm kinda leaning towards Oakland. I know the Raiders defense blows but i'm simply looking at this from a turnover perspective. Is Bortles going to do well against them or is going to continue to suck and throw a bunch of interceptions. I don't watch much of the Jags so any help would be appreciated. Oakland is 8th in total takeaways.

I also read this article that had alot of positive things to say about the defense.

When in doubt. Thursday is out.

 

[Zorf]

When in doubt. Thursday is out.

I shall now live by this mantra.


Also, the guy who was going to trade me Brown for OBJ got cold feet when OBJ got a "questionable" tag this week. That wiener.

Nice. I would have done that - not that what I would do is the be-all...

As for WRs last night I sat Cobb and played Jeffrey in a modified PPR. 19.3 points vs. 0. Cool.

Bortles is a turnover machine from what I've watched, but they could also score a lot if they are on their game. Plus, it's a west coast team traveling to play at 1pm eastern... I don't like Oakland's defense this week.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Dumb question:

I added Vinatieri when Bailey was questionable with a back injury. Both are really really good fantasy kickers. I have both rostered at the moment, but obviously, having two kickers on a team is not ideal. Who should I keep?

Yeah, I hate starting players on Thursdays. It's rough since you have a few extra days to think about it.

I wonder if Montgomery will get RB eligibility for leagues (I play on Yahoo and Fantrax).

Depends on how much roster space you have. I think Vinatieri is the better option, but with a bye coming up you will need another kicker anyway and need to roster two for another week. If you don't have the room, plug Bailey back in next week, move Vinatieri, and move on.

There are 10 bench spots. I have the roster space, but I'd obviously rather not carry two kickers.

Bailey.

Hmmmm. I was leaning Vinatieri.

... i am number one in my league.

Mine is better and I am in a much worse position.

Eli
Jones
D-Jax/Michael Thomas
Melvin Gordon
Duke Johnson
Julius Thomas
Allen Hurns
Dan Bailey
BUF DEF / SEA DEF

My team was so promising at the start but everything went downhill (7th place, 2-4-0). Coleman broke his hand, Gordon went back to rehab, Decker is out for the year, Martin is injured AGAIN, Dez is hurt and just hasn't been good at all. Then Jones/Manning/SEA have all bene underwhelming, I so wish this was a keeper league so i could sell off whoever has value and build for next year.

 

[Voight]

So relatable. I thought after last week (25 points) he'd get going now that OBJ is coming around. Had like 8 points today.
