figured I would start one. Maybe it is best to simply have one continuous thread than a new one each week but a mod or you guys can decide that

was happy to see someone drop Sterling Shepard in my league

, i got him with the 12th waiver. My league is pretty active

10 man YPL man team is pretty stacked (Julio, Evans, Dez, Ingram) - I have Cousins and Bortles at QB, which I am fine with. Going to start Cousins this week. Someone just dropped Carson Palmer and I can pick him up without giving up the #1 waiver. My RB2 is Jennings and bench is Diggs, D Washington, Sims, Mckinnon, Fuller.

Do you drop a QB or one of the bench guys to pick up Palmer?

Treadwell is the 4th or 5th option on a running team.

Tyrell but I don't trust Rivers. He ignores guys sometimes. The real winner here imo is Gates but I like Tyrell if Rivers will throw it to him. SD is a terribly run organization so who knows. They might try to ride the mediocre Melvin Gordon when they have a 6'2 stud that runs a 4.3 ish 40......

I'm thinking as Keenan replacements:

Hogan
Tyrel
Sanu

and I'm leaning Hogan.

Curious how Vance McDonald does tomorrow. Otherwise I'm not sure. In two leagues I'm holding onto Eifert and hoping for like 8pts/game in the meantime from the waiver wire level guys.

I don't think so. Lots of shootouts. Bortles is legit terrible and he did well in FF getting behind a lot. Rivers will be fine.

How much should I bid on Ebron and Rudolph in a 12 team league. $100 faab. I have Fleener and no one else decent is on the wire (bunch of people have 2 te)

Is Fleener officially garbage after 1 game?

I'd give Fleener until at least week 4 before I'd consider dropping him

The news out of camp was never good but maybe when teams start paying attention to Snead it will open things up for Fleener. Cooks, Snead, Fleener and the Thomas kid looked good yesterday.
That team is loaded.

Why? Brees threw 42 times and Fleener caught 1/4. TEs getting 4 targets are available.

1. Tyrell Williams - SD was ahead so he didn't get a lot of targets after Keenan Allen went down but I think he's the play here.

2. Tevin Coleman- He's been producing better than Freeman for about 10 games now going back to last season.

3. Virgil Green - love him as a talent but don't like Denver offense this year. Might not be able to support more than one receiving option........
