would not do that trade. CMC is worth more than diggs and hines just doesn't have much value. Your team isn't that bad, bell should be back soon. I would try to add koutee if you can.

Definite no. I think people are overvaluing Hines quite a bit. Once Mack returns, he's likely going to go back to being a 3rd down back. His rushing numbers have been pretty bad.

Even his receiving numbers haven't been that great - he's getting lots of catches, but only 5.4 yards per catch. Finally, last weeks 9 catches is also inflated - Luck threw 62 times and Hines got 11 targets. Assuming you regress that to a normal 30-40 throws a game, it would be closer to 5 catches/6 targets.

Non-PPR, start 1qb, 2rb, 2wr, 2 flex, 1te
I am 1-3 (9th in pts), but 6 of 10 make playoffs.

brees
fournette, freeman, aaron jones, dion lewis, powell, chubb
diggs, baldwin, watkins, demaryius, cobb, keenan cole
kelce, rudoplh

Cut one for a defense (leaving chubb)

bears Def

Cut bears to pick up Def not on bye?

I probably cut or try to trade rudolph in group 1.
Maybe rudolph + a RB for a better RB?

I would be okay with cutting bears D, but since you only keep 11, not sure what good Tyrell Williams is doing you.

Of course you know better than I do what is on the wire.

So this is a little weird situation.

Colts D got cut last night as part of waivers. They get the Jets and Bills in weeks 6 and 7 so I have put a waiver claim on them. Waivers will clear on Friday, after the Colts game Thursday night.

Normally, they would be on waivers until Wed morning after their game, like everyone else.

Will Yahoo allow the waiver claim to go through on Friday?

Cobb and Cole seem like your best options in the first one. I would prob drop Cole. I would not drop Rudolph. Given the state of TE this year he has to have a decent amount of trade value. Certainly more than Cole or Cobb at this point. Alternatively he gives you the option to trade Kelce. It shouldn't be too tough to get great value for him.

Seems like you have a bunch of solid drop options in the 2nd one so it shouldn't be too tough to hold Bears D if you want.

No, I don't think so. They will be locked till Tuesday night

anyone high on corey davis roy? can trade him and funchess for diggs/throwin in std to a guy who really needs startable players. would set my lineup at

qb
julio
cooks
hunt
conner
rudolph
diggs
a. jones

with boyd/drake/d. henry types on bench to replace conner

don't think im getting rid of davis, he seems like the clear cut #1. If mariotta can grip the ball he should end up in a similar spot as diggs imo (I'm also a diggs truther fwiw)

Maybe hes overvalued or maybe he becomes Kamara light.

Hines first 4 weeks of NFL career:

18 rush 54 yards 1 rush TD

22 rec 26 targets 119 yards 2 recTD



Kamara first 4 weeks of NFL career:

15 rush 83 yards 1 rush TD

20 rec 28 targets 147 yards 1 recTD

hines wouldn't have been playing if mack or, god forbid, turbin were active

I snap this all day. I'm pretty neutral on Davis, to me Diggs is a clear upgrade and I've never been a Funchess guy, I like Boyd more than him (and more than Jones in your starting lineup at this point if it's ppr btw).

But he is playing, and often opportunity begets opportunity. I don't know about Kamara-light, but I think the potential usage is there for him to be Chris Thompson-like even when those guys return. Dude is super fast and can clearly catch the ball, in an offense that is all about throwing a ton with quick/short drops/reads.

I think he loses those opportunities as turbin and mack come back, unlike the Kamara example where he lost a back in front of him

You are deep enough at WR that getting rid of Funchess doesn't hurt you and while Davis should be pretty good due to target volume he isn't going to catch too many touchdowns because the Titans offense isn't that good and up to this point has shown an ability to be very effective with the targets he receives. His last game against Phily was great, but it was also a sneaky good matchup for him.

Diggs is an elite player on a team with a narrow usage tree. They will also be passing a ton all season because the Vikings defense is worse than expected and their run blocking is terrible.

It's possible Davis performs similarly to Diggs over the rest of the season given his athletic ability and volume, but giving up Funchess to guarantee that level of production is a good trade for you given your current roster.

Certainly possible, but their skill sets don't really overlap with Hines' so he still has a window for opportunity regardless imo.

I think you're right about being more like Thompson than Kamara. Kamara size wise is more similar to larger between the tackles backs than smaller receiving backs. He is also on a team that has always thrown a ton to receivers and will score a lot of touchdowns. The red zone usage for Hines should be pretty limited, similar to Thompson, as well.

this was basically my thought as well, thanks

Baker Mayfield so close to 330+ yards and 4 TDs in this last game. He might end up being better than Mahomes.

Where's PFF got Goff now?

Turbin?
Lol come on man

NM i found it.

Mack is the RB to own on that backfield imo. If he can get heathly he should get plenty of touches.

It won't be a ton, but on a guy who seems to need volume to be worth starting, losing 1-2 touches to turbin at the goal line and even just a couple to mack over the course of a game kills his value

they didnt draft hines in the 4th rd to give carries to turbin. agreed that mack is more talented, but its not like anyone in that backfield is actually that much better than anyone else. if any become more of a feature/3rd down pass catching favorite of luck's thats the only way id see one being relevant
