Jones was outsnapped by Thompson by something like 40-19 or something ridiculous like that.
Maybe Thompson is the one to keep an eye on or maybe they're worried about Jones' shoulder...?

yeah, I didn't realize this was how things worked with FAs until a few days ago, I think a lot of people don't know it.

didnt know how bad Jones sucked, according to ya'll

thompson is a FA in my league and i have Ajayi on my bench. devonte parker, stefon diggs, and Torrey smith on bench as well. do i pick up thompson? his ROS projections arent bad, Jones' ROS predictions are pretty terrible for a starter.

dropped Devante Parker for Thompson. Here's to Matt Jones breaking a leg this week, sorry Matt

Would've dropped Smith instead, but try not to be so tied to rankings and projections (seen you mention them, seemingly as gospel, a couple times recently)...a lot of them are terrible (especially the in-season ones), and range of outcomes as well as likelihood of those ranges are quite important imo vs. just some static, flat projection numbers.

Think it's hilarious when someone spouts rankings to try to make you make a trade

I just get him in a YPL with WW #4.

I think Pitta will be the most unowned player that teams will be fighting to acquire this week given the 9 for 100+ on 12 targets and he was very useful before all these injuries

Not sure what the injury status is on Ameer Abdullah but Dwayne Washington might be someone to keep an eye on......

Streaming QBS in 2 of my leagues.

1st league: I have mccown and Prescott right now. Got offered trade of Fitz for Bernard (I have Williams, Ryan Matthews, Riddick also). Do I pick up Fitz with this trade or drop mccown for Tannehill?

2nd league: I have osweiler and Brady. Do I drop osweiler for Bradford or hold with osweiler until Brady comes back?

DeAngelo Williams? He has one week left of relevance. If you don't have Bell coming back or something, you can't afford to part with a RB to do this small upgrade at QB. It's a three sided coin flip between the 3Qbs you mention, but I might hold onto McCown. Gordon + Coleman + Barnidge + not great on Defense might mean a decent fantasy year.

Hold but close. Osweiler and Bradford close, but I lean Osweiler sionce better targets, IMO.

So my RBs go as followed in a non-ppr league...

Blount
Freeman
Ajayi
Foster
Woodhead

It is auction style with $200 to spend on free agents, have $180 left. Is Whittaker or Asiata worth picking up? and how much should I spend? Also am looking at trying to grab Drake (MIAMI) for cheap, to go along with Ajayi, if Foster is F'd for longer than expected.

Why is a weekly WW thread better than this?

there was never enough volume to warrant a weekly waiver thread

mostly still waiting for information at this stage. in one league i lost goathead, abdullah and rawls seem banged up, fortunately i own riddick

i dunno gents. my team is not looking good. got the 4th waiver in a 12 man that resets weekly by ranking. waivers in order of importance to me:

whittaker (he plays for carolina and hes at home this week. he should get plenty of touches, their third back is coming off injury as well)
asiata (he will pry start leaching all of those tds again)
c beasley
dorsett

maybe i could be higher on dorsett, thoughts?? sounds like Moncrief should miss some time and Dorsett was a weakish WR3 but could see an increased role in the Indy passing game. good upcoming schedule to. liked that NYJ receiver Chuwa to, he looked good, obviously far from starting material as of now unless u have a piss poor team

TE have ebron (eifert also, looks like he could play) but think im switching to Pitta for Ebron hopefully. dwayne allen (unavailable in my league) seems to be a viable option this week to, i guess McDonals is available and picked me up a td week one but im not overly high on him with me having Eifert soon

I have no idea why people keep wanting to drop Ebron. Continues to be targeted in a passing offense. Scored week 1, caught a TD week 2 that was nullified because he moved so much faster than the DB the official assumed he must've pushed off.

Tannehill =/> Fitz and you don't give anything up. Absolutely can't give up an rb if you're counting deangelo Williams as a viable rb going forward

Bradford @ Panthers then NYGiants @ Bradford are two brutal matchups next two weeks. Even more so if no AP. I would look elsewhere for QB help.

In a deep 14-teamer. Has anyone watched Kenneth Farrow play at all? Is he worth a roster spot? Pretty much all backup RBs are already on teams.

pitta had 12 targets last week, ebron has 12 all year, pitta at 17. ya, he played the browns last week. looking ahead i think there are 4 games where pitta can fair ok. @jax, home vs oak and WAS and then at NYG. ebrons looked a little shakier. i dunno, think i still might go for pitta. wasnt aware of ebrons play last week nor have i saw it(penalty)

have read some good things about Ebron though, may stand pat now redzone targets.

STICKING WITH lEBRON

Yeah, should have been a TD. Ebron got robbed.

So who's a better pick up? Whittaker or Asiata?
