So I traded Tom Brady for a WR and opted to bank on Watson.

This could very well blow up in my face. But I hope I'm wrong.

what WR?
i would've done the same thing, i think watson is for real

 

[Trap Jesus]

Dontrelle Inman just got traded to the Bears. He was okay with the Chargers last year, and the Bears are desperate for WRs.

What do you think the realistic expectations are? I picked him up as a "why not" but that passing offense is so completely neutered that I don't expect anything. Even a receiver like Wright (albeit a completely different type of receiver compared to Inman) who is at least decently talented was able to do nothing when he was the #1 and essentially only WR option.

 

[Zorf]

I'm not trusting Inman at all. He's new to the team. Doesn't know a single play. Has zero chemistry with the QB.

As a general rule, the whole "new faces in new places" applies to players struggling the first year they join a team before camp. A guy joining a team mid-season is usually a recipe for disaster.

**AP's first game with Arizona is a big exception to the rule

Also, just a heads up to everyone, the Steelers have made Martavis Bryant inactive as a punishment for his antics this week.

Oh, there's no way I'd trust him, but it is a unique situation. He was what, a #4/5 receiver on the Chargers that no one would have owned that now has a very good chance to be a #1 WR very quickly on his new team. Upside is obviously severely limited based on Chicago's abysmal passing attack and Inman's overall talent, but opportunity does always creates upside.

AJ Green.

The owner in question was in a really bad spot and my WR's have disappointed. I'm not expecting Watson to continue at the pace he has been on. But I don't think it's unreasonable to put up about 17.00-20.00 points each week with that offense.

Brady is more consistent. But he also hasn't put together an above-average Brady game in over a month.

I think he's an okay deep league option (14+ teams), but that's about it. He's better than what the Bears were trotting out there even without knowing much (any?) of the offense.

39 points for the Ravens' defense tonight for one of my leagues

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Needed a TE this week with Walker on bye and took a shot with Ben Watson. Never been so happy over 8 points. That's how shallow the TE position is.

Brady for Green in a no brainer, especially with you still having Watson in the fold.

Worth picking up Gore?

I could drop -

Snead, Doyle, Kearse or Doctson Bills/Texans DEF

With the RB situation being as it is, I would pick up as many RBs as possible.

I'd drop Doyle or one of your defences. I don't usually carry 2 defences (just my own rule) and TEs are a gong show.

39 points for the Ravens' defense tonight for one of my leagues

The Ravens D accounted for 33.5 in my main league.

Best part of that is, there's a new guy in our league this year who complains whenever anything bad happens to him. Like a few weeks ago he went off about how many points a QB loses for a pick 6, but that was only after his QB threw a pick 6. He didn't care about it up until then. I think he also complained about TD scoring and QB passing points. He's complained about players who are dropped having to go back on waivers and not immediately be free agents. It's never ending.

This week, now that his opponent had the Baltimore D, he's complaining about that.

I changed his name to "Old Man Yells at Cloud" in our league group chat.

I need Doyle for when the Pats go on bye week (I have Gronk), but I don't know who to choose between BUF & HOU.

Is Texans D still worth hanging on to with all their injuries?

That was my thought. I don't think they are.

I expect Watson to struggle soon (maybe even this week against Seattle), but you can't pass up A.J. Green. Good job.

Cut Houston's D

 

[Evincar]

Brady for Green in a no brainer, especially with you still having Watson in the fold.

I agree but an elite QB should never fetch an elite WR. If that happened in my league I would be vetoing it.

what? that's brutal

 

[Maitz]

Would you guys drop Perine to pick up Robby Anderson? I need a flex badly this week, let alone a WR2... I have Agholor and Ginn as my 2 WR

Even with the Bills trading Dareus?

What other defenses are out there?

Yeah.

 

[Remington 700]

Jordy and Jeffery for Baldwin and Agholor. Who wins?

You should not be vetoing anything unless you have proof of collusion. Stupid trades and collusion are two different things. I’d be finding a new league if my legit trades got veto’d

 

[rangerssharks414]

Jordy and Jeffery for Baldwin and Agholor. Who wins?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Baldwin and Agholor for me. Jordy is a WR3/flex for me with Hundley starting, and Jeffery has been a disappointment in Philly.
