No way does anyone sane give up Mixon for Tate. But, worth a shot I suppose.

Was my thinking. I understand the value.

I hope OBJ can have another 13+ point game next week. I wouldn't mind trying to unload him for a RB. I ended up trading the Chicago D and Shady for Michael Thomas. At this point in time I wont hesitate to play MT over OBJ the next few weeks based on his usage and how bad the Giants are.

Thomas' volume is just so crazy. It seems like the Giants have mostly been using OBJ as a short-yardage, screen-pass option when they need 2-4 yards for a first down.

I think that's a pretty good trade you made. I originally wanted Odell or Julio, but ended up with Michael Thomas and I couldn't be happier.

Would you drop Alex Collins or Greg Zuerlein if you needed a kicker for week 6? Zuerlein, right?

Yeah, Zuerlein.

I was projected for the 4th most points this week in one of my dynasty leagues (12 teams). I had nobody play yesterday. I only have a 25% chance of winning according to Yahoo. Feels bad.

Made an interesting deal:

Full PPR

I gave Mike Thomas and Chris Thompson for McCaffrey and Landry.

I was weak at RB, especially after losing Ajayi and not having Clement or Smallwood. I think Thomas is a fantastic player but with Ingram back and how much the Saints spread the ball, I'm not sure he's going to keep this pace up. Thompson is great but he's always one hit away from his season being over, and can be gamescripted right out of games. McCaffrey plays something like 95% of snaps and gets lots of touches (though his lack of goal line work is a concern), and Landry is always good for 10 or so PPR point floor.

That trade looks great to me.

I like it. I don't have any McCaffrey shares. It's probably really fun to now own him.

He had Barkley, didn't he? I'm basically the opposite of you, I'm going against the top guy, and Barkley just make it a 50/50 tossup.

Yup.

I'm most likely going to finish this week with the third most points (after Week 6 since I currently have a decent sized lead over the team with the 4th most points), but be 3-3.

Re: The league I'm talking about above.

I'm stumped. I feel like my team is pretty good, but I don't think it's good enough to win. Should I look to deal Gronk if I lose this week (which would drop me to 3-3)? I honestly think he's going to retire soon, and I don't want to lose him for nothing.

QB- Rivers
RB- Elliott, Kamara
WR- Evans, Fuller, G. Tate
TE- Gronkowski
Flex- Cooper
K- Fairbairn
DEF- Chicago
BN- Stafford, Rosen, Drake, L. Miller, Hogan, Westbrook, D.J. Moore, Gallup, Goedert, Hurst
IR- Lee, Burkhead

Edit: I traded my 1st for next year already, so maybe I should just stand pat.

 

[HoseEmDown]

You shouldn't have been comparing Fournette vs Ingram, McCoy, or Hyde though... those guys were all rated much lower. Gordon, Hunt, Cook, McCaffrey, Mixon, etc was more his tier.

It was an 8 team PPR league. I had the 8th and 9th pick I took Fournette at 8 and McCaffrey at 9. Cook I wasn't taking as I as don't like guys coming off significant injuries. I had Hunt last year and he faded a bit down the stretch and with Mahomes taking over didn't think he'd get the work like he did last year. Mixon wasn't as good as Fournette so ranked him lower so the only one I was considering was Gordon. I live in Orlando and like the Jags so I would get to see him play more and would be cheering for them anyway. I wasn't expecting him to miss this much time, he's played through some injuries before so I didn't think he'd miss this much time.

I missed the playoffs in a league last year despite finishing with the most points. Not even close to the playoffs either - I think 4-9 or 5-8. Fantasy football is frustrating sometimes.

 

[The Alien]

Trade:

I have AB

Need RBs
(Had McKinnon and Ajayi, and Cook is stashed)

Do I accept DJ and Aaron Jones?

My WRs are playable without AB. TY, Edelman, Davis, Martavis and Jones Jr.

I wish there was a way to edit the playoff tree on Yahoo. I heard some idea on the fantasy channel on Sirius XM that I really liked.

The top four by record make it, and then the two teams with the most points from the remaining teams get the 5 and 6 seeds respectively. I know Fantrax allows it.

i wouldn't put too much stock into the projections. if it helps, i personally think you have a 75% chance of winning

Yeah, Yahoo's projections do suck.

Daaang, the first placd dude in my .5 ppr league just traded Gurley and Hyde for Cooks and Kamara..

I mean you dont trade Gurley right?? Kamara is unreal but Ingram back that has to lower him a bit.

What yall think?

Gurley is definitely off limits especially with how well that offense is running. I have him and someone wanted to do a similar swap where I got Kamara + for him but flat out said he wasn't available and ended up doing a Kamara+ for McCaffrey+ deal instead.

 

[The Alien]

Who would you cut?

Morris or Olsen. I did it.

Yuck. I would have never traded Gurley for that.

I'm starting Ito Smith and Karpi Bibbs as my two RBs in a league this week.

I need another RB with Kamara on bye and Frreman out, you think Smith is a decent play?

If you're desperate, sure. Tampa is actually 4th in the league in rush yards per game against (the good 4th, not the bad 4th). It's their pass defense that is brutal.
