My one league that plays regular season through WW13 and has 3 player keeper has its trade deadline next Wed.

I unfortunately matched that date for the league I run without thinking, and we only have 4 teams of 12 making the playoffs, and the playoffs are WW 13/14 and 15/16, with absolutely no reason/prize for teams not in the playoffs to play for. So I am really crossing my fingers hoping that nothing shady happens. I don't think it will, but I am keeping my eyes open.

Got sniped on Winston

Gonna hopefully roll with Lamar

.5PPR - out of the playoffs

diggs in the 6th
mckinnon in the 16th

We prefer diggs,correct? Neither is keepable after this year.
Likely keeping thielen & aaron jones w/ a 9th & 10th if it matters.

I like Diggs, although having your top two WRs from the same team isn't ideal. Granted, Cousins is all about Diggs and Thielen. I think last week Cousins threw it 45 times with 30 targets going to those two.

McKinnon in the 16th could be worth it, but who knows how he will come back from the injury, if he really will be the top back, if he can sustain top back production for a full season, etc.?

Lame. But the rushing yards along should give you a nice floor with Lamar. i ended up getting Wilson in my spot, thankfully.

In my biggest priority league I'm one of three teams with an 8-3 record. Below that there are two teams with a 7-4 record including the guy with by far the most points in the league. Top 3 teams get a playoff spot and 4th goes to total points. After 7-4 guy I'm next with most points so if he doesn't get a playoff spot and I drop out of top 3 I'm screwed. If he gets 3rd or better I should be in good shape either way. Otherwise it's essential to stay in that top 3 (and keep putting up points) which is obv the goal anyway.

It's a deep 12-team league with 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 2FLX, 1D/ST and 8 bench spots so pretty much all the relevant players are taken. I'm a Jimmy Graham owner, who has been awful and now I obviously don't trust with a broken thumb. I picked up Huerman off waivers this week. I've been trying to float out Valdez-Scantling for mid-tier TE's and haven't had anyone bite. Would you trade someone like Allen Robinson, who has some great playoff matchups but that receiving core has a lot of mouths to feed, for mid-tier TE's like Jared Cook, Jordan Reed etc.? Go for the home run and trade someone like OBJ for Kelce, Ertz, or Kittle? Or sit tight with Huerman and stream TE through the playoffs and see if Graham can be mildly effective with the broken thumb?

I'm fairly deep at WR with OBJ, Hopkins, Sanders, ARob, MVS, DJ Moore and Christian Kirk. Since I only have 2 legit RBs now with Collins being supplanted, I have to start 4 of those guys though.

It's Diggs in 6th not close imho. Diggs is what, the WR8 by avg per week and trending up? So you're keeping a 2nd round quality player for a 6th. Big win.


LFC your scoring system and redraft vs other format is probably needed here. But you're worrying too much regardless. It's a snap trade of Arob+ for help, and you should have done it the week Arob went off. Logic being that one of your guys in Kirk, Moore or MVS will always have a matchup good enough to start in your #4 slot.

Also your trade deadline hasn't passed? Btw it's your scoring system I need to let you know for a bigger trade. Just not possible without it given your wild 2Flex. That changes a lot. Like you could do OBJ and get an elite TE AND a WR to back fill the ranks.

Of course. My bad. Redraft with 1 keeper at the round you kept him, only from guys you actually drafted regardless of if they're on your roster at the end of the season or not. Can't acquire other teams players and keep them either (I'm for sure keeping Chubb in the 9th if that's relevant).

0.5 ppr. Small bonuses for 100+ yard games and touchdowns over 40+ 50+ etc...but nothing crazy. 2 points for 100+ yard 1 extra point for 40+ yard rushing/receiving TD and 2 extra points for 50+ yard rushing/receiving td.

I'm not even sure there is interest in ARob just putting it out there for now. What type of TE would you look to get back? Brate, Cook shooting too high? Do we think Alex Collins is completely done to package him to sweeten a deal? Then if Chubb or AP go down I'm in big trouble (probably am anyway) as my other RB are Ronald Jones, Jamaal Williams and Malcom Brown. DJ Moore has a great playoff matchup so between him and MVS I could stream a WR to fill ARob. Moore I just picked up today though and Kirk has let me down the 2 times I played him with legit 9 completions for less yards than the team RB rushed for Josh Rosen throwing to him. You're probably right

I think OBJ would draw a lot of attention. Do we think he falls off as the Giants become more irrelevant? Chance Eli is benched for fantasy playoffs? I wouldn't really want/need a WR unless they are a clear starter as MVS, Moore and lol Kirk could always fill in. Actually just looked and Kelce owner has AJ Green and is in last place. OBJ + something for Kelce and Green? Could be interesting. He is in 9th place and league is tiered (top 4 playoffs for main prize, 5-8 playoff for like $150 and $75 (buy in is $150) and 9-12 for draft pick and right to not let the champ name your team the following season.

Both L. Murray and J. Richard were dropped. I just put in Thompson in my IR slot, so I’m going to pick up one of these two when waivers clear on Friday. Who do we like more ROS in PPR?

My top 4 backs are DJ, Mixon, Chubb and Michel, so these guys are just deep insurance, which makes me lean Murray. I can hold him hoping for a Cook injury. But Jalen’s floor is attractive. And Jalen actually got his most carries of the season last last week.


And it’s re-draft.

@LFC, I’d try to get Reed for a mid-tier player like. Aron. I think agreed gets a bump with McCoy.

If you want to ship OBJ, Kelce and Ertz are fair straight up. You’d need something plus a Kittle for OBJ, imo.

how many options can you really have? it's not like someone will trade kelce for obj and leave themselves with no TE. there are probably like 3 teams with a second TE they could move

I would. Then I’d work to acquire a TE in a separate deal.

Kelce owner also has Kyle Rudolph. Every single team has 2 TEs rostered except me (until now)

The guy with Reed is weak at WR. My software says Valdez-Scatling and Jimmy Graham for Reed is a positive trade for both teams. Worth offering I guess. We're writing Jimmy Graham off for the rest of the fantasy season right? Reed health history makes me nervous.

Also starting to think just waiting this week out with Huerman might be the smartest play if no one bites on any of these offers.

Heuerman could be trending up, but he also only has one double digit scoring game all season.

If you can trade MVS and Graham for Reed, I’d do it. If you like heuerman enough, then keep OBJ and ride it out.

I wouldn’t be too worried about injuries. I know the stigma with Reed, but he has played every game this season.

From Berry’s love/hate this week:

Jordan Reed at Cowboys (10.0 projected points): Super-small sample size, but in three full games in 2014 with Colt McCoy under center, Reed averaged 8.3 targets, 6.3 catches and 62.7 yards per game. Having been on the Redskins for a number of years, McCoy obviously has a connection with Reed and that was on full display once he came in last Sunday (Reed's career catch rate with McCoy is 80.6 percent). The Cowboys are pretty good against tight ends, but I expect Reed to dink and dunk his way beyond the projection. Here's a weird stat that means absolutely nothing but is fun to write anyway: Reed is averaging 24.7 PPG in his two career Week 12 games. Both were divisional games, too. Crazy that he has played in only two Week 12 games, right?

Anyone relying on Gronk this week?
I think I should probably start Jordan Reed on Thurs vs Dallas, but leaving Gronk on my bench feels awful

kyle rudolph is the same as no-TE imo

Yeah I like getting a TE and a WR for OBJ myself if you think Arob has no market value in your league. Surprising though considering you can start 4WR.

I'm starting Cook over him. Not particularly enthused. Really hoping Brady and Gronk get their **** together by week 15.

Trade deadline is next Wednesday.

Offer this week with kelce on bye and more likely he accepts? But that seriously hurts my matchup this week and remember total points are a very real thing I need to maintain. Or wait til next week with less likelihood of him accepting. I'm also playing the kelce owner this week (who is 4-7)

Starting Gronk over Engram. No other realistic options for me, invested too much in Gronk to turn back now.

The fantasy football version of “I was pot committed”?

What? Rafiki's superstar TE busted?

Whatever happened to Ladarius The Gazelle Green?

You know that's a great question. He got hurt. That's how most if my plays miss brother. Go back and look at his numbers in Pittsburgh and pro-rate them......

Hint hint........That's not my big miss.

lol

Wolves I don't own Rudolph on a single team, never drafted him and had ample chances to. But man your TE rankings were the WORST
