I think Kittle may be a TE1 going forward. 8 targets yesterday, his college QB now the starter.

I know this is gonna sound insane but is there any chance rodgers injury will help bennet?
obv one would think losing the GOAT QB would be a bad thing but I feel like often back up QBs lean on TEs as a safety valve.

I have zero data to back this up and guess I'm just looking for some reason not to bail on bennet for one more week.

have him in 2 leagues and he's killing me.

I was happy to drop Fat Bennet a week ago and don't think it will matter in the slightest. Cobb is the one more likely to be able to survive the drop off.

Dynasty League. .5 PPR

I'm about to be 6-0 in my league. I just got offered this trade:
Tevin Coleman for Martavis Bryant.

Our lineups consist of:
1 QB
1 RB
2 WR
1 TE
3 FLEX (w/r, w/t, w/t/r)
2 IDPS

my wr depth:
Evans, Tate, Crabtree, Bryant, Ginn, JJ Nelson, R. Lewis, R. Louis, Humphries

my rb depth:
Gurley, Doug Martin, Smallwood, McKissic, Conner.

Depth wise I think it's a no-brainer. But I'm wondering if Bryant's long term upside surpasses Coleman's enough for me to hold off.

in my home/friends league - and granted, its really mostly for fun, $25, and bragging rights - the first place team gets to name the last place's team name for the next season. and the last place team has to buy an additional bottle of champagne for the winner, which is then traditionally chugged

Not sure about your RB depth, so this may affect thinking.

Looks like he's gonna be featured... as a Shepard owner I'm all for it.

Given the state of TE, the rookie wall and/or bracket coverage can be addressed when they come up.

Need to find a replacement for Rodgers. Cousins owner also has Watson so think he could be had. He needs a WR - would either Landry or Funchess be a fair offer (they are my WR 3/4).

Other option is to try and grab Luck (he was just dropped) and play the waiver wire till he gets healthy. Top available QBs are Taylor/Semien/Cutler/McCown/Bortles/Kenum (although likely Palmer will be dropped as he was a bye week pick-up).

Somebody just offered me D. Murray and A. Cooper for Julio. No go?

I have Julio, D. Adams, Sanders, Wallace, and John Brown at WR and Gurley, White, T. Coleman, and Cohen at RB. Julio's bye week has already passed and Murray and Cooper still have a bye week.

Lord no. Do not take that. I'd ask for a way more serviceable WR than Cooper, somebody in the Dez Baldwin ish range. Maaaaybe someone like Allen.

I would do it for Allen. Not for the other 2, IMO. I am pretty skeptical about Hill making it through the season, IMO.

Is it PPR?

you just lost sanders, i wouldnt be dealing julio right now. and if its PPR, then your RBs are pretty deep already, so if you deal julio id say get 2 WRs

Was offered Jordy and Pryor for my A. Cooper and Fuller. Std scoring. Thoughts? Obviously Jordy will be quite the drop off rest of the year, but cooper has been a dumpster fire.

Rest of my team is K. Allen, Dez, Garcon for WR and Bell, CJ Anderson, Abudllah and Mixon for RB.

I'm bullish on both Jordy and Fuller right now. I don't think the Jordy drop-off will be as severe as you (and others) might seem to be implying. Someone on Twitter posted this info: here are Jordy's stats from the 9 games he played without Godgers (7 games are from 2013), extrapolated to a 16-game pace:

116 targets
75 catches
1093 yds
7 TDs

Those are nice WR12-WR18 numbers.

Easy to understand if you're not high on Fuller (unless you got him from waivers recently?). Cooper is a mystery this year (and to think I considered taking him at 1.05 in the new 2+2 dynasty league instead of GOATonio). Pryor sucks ass.

Non ppr league

I had graham as my TE. I picked up ASJ (jets) on the bye and wondering if I should just start him moving forward. Seems to have a higher floor and more consistent week to week.

I have some good RBs for my flex spots so don't really anticipate playing then both unless I run into some bye week issues.
