One or the other is fine - definitely not both!

What are your league settings? PPR/Std? Start 2 or 3 WRs / flexes? etc. That matters! I agree with the earlier poster who said you don't need to trade for another RB if it's PPR.

Than I should be I just feel like I'm drawing pretty thin to win it as is.

In a keeper league with leveon and Antonio (neither of which are keepable at their prices) do we try to trade them if we are 4-6? 6 of 12 make playoffs and the standings look like:

8-2
8-2
7-3
6-4
6-4
6-4
5-5
4-6 me
4-6

The trade deadline is next week and I assume I can get damn good keepers from those 2 - or do I wait and see if I win next week. Everyone ahead of me has more points scored except one of the 6-4 teams. I also have Ingram, Jordy, Dez, lynch, Powell & Dion Lewis & it is .5 ppr.

Someone just dropped Zeke in one of my yearly leagues - is he worth a stash with a short bench (6 players) and no Flex at this point, in case his appeal goes through early, or at worst, just playing him in Week 16? Other RBs are Gordon/Hunt/Drake/Ekeler

Depends on your spot in the standings. I wouldn't unless I had a pretty clear shot at a bye. Also depends on your waiver priority. If you have a bad one, sure, burn it.

Can we talk Julio Jones for a bit? Been riding his ass to some back to back loses on a team I thought was a lock for a bye. This week seriously thinking of benching him. I know we don't draft him to do that, but godamn.

I can start someone like Fitzgerald in his place. Madness?

Does Peterman starting hurt or help Clay? Have ASJ, he's on a bye and Clay looks like the best option on the waiver wire.

ah nice. Didn't know the Seahawks had all those injuries. They're a disgraceful franchise and I watch them as rarely as possible.

Remember that time Dez assaulted his mom?

And yea, I hate it, but I'm firing up Julio this week in a "must win now" spot. Ugh

Has to hurt imo. Banged up, unknown qb, going against #6 ranked pass defense dvoa on the road.

I don't know much about Peterman, so take this with a grain of salt:

I like Clay more with the coach choosing to go to the other QB. If it was an injury, I would be more worried that the next guy isn't ready, but the coaches obviously think this guy is. Tyrod can run and he is still being benched so I think the new guy can probably pass better.

Also being new, he won't want to make the big mistake so the shorter dump passes to TE might be appealing.

You are talking about AMERICA'S TEAM. There is a big difference between that, and a city of people so soaked by rain that it pushes them to become miscreants and pedophiles.

Full PPR:

AB vs TEN
Hill @ NYG

Flex

Woods @ MIN
JuJu vs TEN
Woodhead?? @ GB

Thoughts on if it's still possible to bench JuJu here?
(Current leans Woods > Woodhead if active > JuJu

(I'm #1 team playing #2 and fighting for playoff positioning)

He's certainly gotta be better than anyone who has Blaine Gabbert at qb...I hope.

QB: Cousins, McCown

WR: D. Bryant, K. Allen, Cooks, C. Davis, Kupp
TE: Doyle, Olsen
