Probably Thomas for me. Robinson out, Hurns out, Lee banged up. He's the #1 red zone option now best I can tell? And yeah I guess drop Williams.

Yea Mercedes >>> everyone on that list (if he's available, grab him). Basically all of my teams suck at TE every year (unless I get Gronk), so I've got him going in a few spots.

edit: I mean Mercedes Lewis. On JAX. Not sure how well known he is (besides that London game)

would appreciate some feedback on this trade i just made in a ppr league.

im 8-3 n big leader in points so decent chance at a 1st round bye.

my roster pre trade:

r. wilson
green
cooks
t hill
ingram
mixon
cook
davante
fuller
yeldon
cj fiedo
doctson
latvius

i sent doctson n latvius to a team in desperate need of a win this week for zeke.

at best he comes back for my championship week @ seattle n there is always chance he gets shut down for season if dallas isn't still alive for playoffs but seemed like a good gamble as doubtful i ever start doctson or murray anyways.

thoughts?

thanks guys thought so just wanted to get some other opinions.

edit: not to brag but its a 12 team league and my starting roster is pretty much entirely the same as it was week 1.
only addition is cook at TE.

Anyone sitting Prescott vs PHI if Tyron Smith is out early Sunday for Stafford @ CHI? Not a great matchup for Stafford, but if Prescott is taking 8 sacks again, I want none of the DAL O

Coming into week 11's prop bet with Ash, 2 of my 3 named kickers are #1 and #2 league-wide for scoring at their position. The 3rd is 8th. Zuerlein and Butker are netting you 3.5 to 4.5 more pts per week than the average kicker. For perspective, Goatonio and Hopkins are 5 pts better than the average WR1, so it does add up.

Most of my teams are fairly average rosters carried by the sweet legs of their kickers. Only team out of the playoffs is my rebuilding dynasty.

EMBRACE THE KICKERS!

I may have to create a three kicker league where I can just go 16-0 and shower myself in 72 Dolphins glory. Anyone ever go 16-0 btw?

I freely admit you were bang on with Greg the Leg and I have reaped the rewards since snagging him in 3/4 leagues when he was on his bye in week 7 or 8 or whenever it was.

But kicker is so much more dependent on both coach and the rest of the team more so than any other position.

The best kicker in the league isn't guaranteed to be a worthwhile starting kicker in fantasy.

you can say the same thing about any position.
Just look at Exhibit A: Antonio whenever Ben is out.
and B: Jordy Nelson without Rodgers

So if Fournette ends up not playing do you guys have more faith in plugging in Yeldon, or James White vs Oakland?

Do we think it is Yeldon over Ivory?

I'd probably roll White out rather than guessing which Jax RB has the good game.

Oakland can't cover receivers out of the backfield at all, but are you worried about Burkhead at all? Last week James White played a season low # of snaps and Burkhead seemed to eat into his targets and redzone usage

The Raiders are going to get totally blown out. You're going to have to hope White scores one of the early TD's. After that it's a crap shoot who hoodie is going to give the ball to to close the game out.
It's really a coin flip between those 2 but I guess go with white as Cleveland is the number 3 run D and teams will always want to force Bortles to beat them.

I forgot about the weather in Pitt , tuned in like 90 seconds before KO, and was frantically trying to get Boswell out of my lineup when they mentioned the wind conditions in an already bad kicking stadium - but wasn't fast enough and was "stuck" with him.

By some miracle I still have outs on my undefeated season against the number 2 team. One time!

Legatron busting pretty good here. limp.

Those windy games really putting up some dud stat lines at most positions, crazy. Engram not doing me any favors.
