So McKinnon getting hurt has really ****ed me, as I've had to pick up and start Bilal Powell.. I'm deep at WR (Evans, Landry, Cooks, Funchess, Hurns, Anthony Miller) and may look to trade one. Any input on which particular guy I should look to trade and who to target?

I would cut Hurns and trade Cooks. I don't like Cooks this year.

What do I make of Conner? Does he catch and will Pitt use him plenty? Don't know anything about the guys talent

He can catch, yes. He'll be a top 15ish option if Bell is out.

 

[Beauner]

Hurns is an easy drop to add a RB with some upside. From there, moving Cooks for a RB2 is probably what I would do.

Unfortunately this is a 12 team league with a massive bench so there really isn't many available RBs besides handcuffs. Powell was literally the best back available.

Edit: thoughts on a Cooks for Mixon swap? Mixon owner is fairly deep at RB with Cook and McCaffrey as well

I would do Cooks for Mixon in a second, though I doubt the other guy does.

And I would take my chances with a handcuff (Rod Smith, Chase Edmonds) or someone like that who would be a starter if there was an injury over Hurns.

Cool, thanks. Didn't realize Mixon was that valuable but I'll throw it out there

 

[rangerssharks414]

Yeah, if you could get Mixon for Cooks, well done. I don't think the other guy would go for it though.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

I'm a Bell owner and took Conner with my last non-K/DST pick just in case this happened. Boy am I glad I did.

Gents, I got offered a trade of Andrew Luck for Philip Rivers. Do I take that? I feel abit concerned that it was offered. I also have Kurt Cousins

Depends on how you like to play the game. Rivers is as consistent as they come from a QB perspective. You'er gonna get production every week. But Luck has elite upside.

I would do it, but it's fair.

Yup, I agree with this. I don't like Indy's pass catchers outside of Hilton, though.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Yesterday sure sucked for me

 

[sa cyred]

Gotcha thanks guys. I guess I am abit higher on Luck, but Philip Rivers is pretty Fantasy underrated in general.

 

[HockeyThoughts]

Gotcha thanks guys. I guess I am abit higher on Luck, but Philip Rivers is pretty Fantasy underrated in general.

I would take the trade.

Luck has top 5 potential and a top 12ish floor. Philips likely to finish around 10th-14th in FP at years end.

I have Bell in a Standard 10 team Yahoo Default league. My other RBs are Royce Freeman, Rex Burkhead, and Karryon Johnson. My WRs are Theilen, Hogan, Woods, and Golladay. Should I think about trading Bell or hold off and see what happens in the next week.

you knew this could happen when you drafted him. i think you have to hold onto him and hope for the best. unfortunately i think thats the reality - whatever you get back likely isnt going to be good enough to justify it, unless someone offers something close to value

Yeah. The thing is Bell is that kind of player where If he's available, you grab him because he won't be available when you pick again, unless you are in one of the end spots.

You have to hang onto him. As mentioned, you won't get fair value in return, and if he does come back, then you're screwed if you decided to trade him.

James Conner owners rejoice (for this week anyway)

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

DeSean Jackson and Ted Ginn are available in my league. Have there been any updates on DJ’s health yet? And which one of (if any) Garçon, Goodwin, or Fuller would you drop for either one. Or should I just stand pat? My other receivers are Brown, Thielen, and Woods, start 2 and 1 flex spot

 

[sa cyred]

So looking like taking Cobb wasn’t a bad choice in my one league

I would probably drop Garcon anyway (or Goodwin if he's hurt) and just pickup a depth RB. No need to have 6 WR's on a roster where you start 2.

Thanks for the input. I put in a waiver claim for TJ Yeldon with Fournette going out. James White was the only other decent back available. Would I be better off going after him? I have Michel already.

 

[Terry Yake]

looks like olsen will be out a while again

which TE should i pick up off waivers? there's james, ASJ, and ebron. eifert is my other TE

I wouldn't bother with White - limited upside.

Jonnu Smith.
