I wouldn't start NE, but there is probably better ww options

Thanks, I need every point I can find this week.

We have pretty high scoring DSTs, my options are MIN, PIT, ARI or TB

I like TB, fwiw.

This surprises me that I am finding more people supporting TB than Ari this week. Arizona seems MUCH more likely to get a defensive or special teams score and are generally a better pass rush than TB seems to be. Even if we make Glennon and Carson equals as far as turnovers go, I think the sacks and scores heavily favor Ari. Not to mention, who on TB is going to defend Floyd or Roberts?

Best 1 week .5 ppr fill in TE?
Clay @ NO (seems obv but he was just dropped and is on waivers until Monday so not guaranteed and would be ****ed if someone decided to use their waiver on him, which I won't.)
Zach Miller @ HOU
Eifert @ CLE
Gresham @ CLE
Clark @ BUF
Jordan Reed @ OAK (RG3 is my QB)
Walker v. NYJ

It surprises me too. After further review though, while Patrick Peterson makes the bolded true, TB leads ARI in sacks 12 to 5. They're at home and, as noted in the regular NFL thread, Josh lost the locker room a while ago. We know they have the talent, so if they're inspired, play them because DST is at least 50% want-to. Trusting that Glennon isn't going to bury the TB defense wrt field position is a tough sell though, and they're still playing for Greg Schiano.

For ARI Dan Williams is out again this week and they lost 3 OLBs for the year, 2 of whom were part of the regular rotation. They're also 25th in the league in QB rating, completion % and YDS/A.

At this point maybe I should just play PIT vs Cassell.

the last 2 guys are hurt. based on targets I'd go Gresham or Clark if you can't get Clay.

2QB 10t 6pt pass TD PPR league. QBs are currently Rodgers, Eli, Tannehill. Who, if anybody, do I drop for Flynn (v Wsh)?

Have Rodgers/Jordy on bye, and benching Ridley and Tony G, so my options are super limited.

Marlon (currently in the flex)
Hopkins
Pierce

I wouldn't chase a 1-week starter like Flynn in a 2 QB league with those 3 QBs. Unless you want to cut Marlon Brown -- can't cut Hopkins with Andre already dinged up -- just take your lumps with Eli. Maybe he'll bounce back to decent.

Yeah Marlon was the only guy I could come up with a good reason to cut since he will lose value when Jacoby gets back. Everybody else is too strong. Here's hoping Eli quits being AIDS

I can't think of anything more NYG-like than going into Arrowhead 0-3 and beating down a 3-0 Chiefs team

Probably a dumb question, but when you're in the middle of the season and people talk about % of FAAB budget to spend on a player, are they talking about the % of the ORIGINAL budget or of what you currently have left?

i.e., "I'd spend 15% of your budget to get player X." If you're original budget was $100 and you currently have $60, should you spend $15 or $9?

Original.

Are a lot more people playing FAAB this year? I feel like we've had this question a lot.

Not annoyed by the question being repeated. Just wondering if more are doing it and if there should be more discussion of FAAB usage.

Eli won his first Superbowl after starting 0-2. The facts are that Eli has always had offensive line issues. You can't drop Eli for some rookie just because of a bad start. Eli is one of the few qb's left who has that Brett Favre mentality. He never quits. All of his accolades at Ole Miss were amazing, come back from depths of dispair victories. Recently, he has been the comeback king.

You aren't happy, but you don't dump Eli for EJ or anybody really. You knew when you drafted him there would be some bad with the good. Would you rather he waffle come week 12 or start slow?

Serious question: Why is a team like the Rams not signing TO and Ocho? Seriously. Just have them run fly routes while Tavon plays the Welker role. Point being there are teams that need a ton of help. Imagine TO on the Lions. Go ahead and double Megatron

/endrant

Not sure how I implied I would drop Eli. Not a chance. Yeah, him playing ****ty isn't surprising me, but he's playing like crap AND has a crappy matchup. My logic is just that I don't see how Flynn vs Oak could be much worse if at all.

He's kinda comparable to Roddy right now. Will I drop Roddy? Absolutely not. Will I bench him given the chance until he proves himself? Yes.

not sure if you meant not serious question but...because Givens, Pettis and Cook are all way better than TO or Ocho at this point?

I'm embarrassed to say that this is my second year playing FAAB and this only just now occurred to me. Good to know that I had always assumed it was original though.

RE: FAAB
Pretty much has to be % of original budget just because common sense. Nobody whois not in the league knows how much any individual team has spent already.

serious question: do you know the effects of aging on the human body?

At least you haven't posted often in the 5 years you've been registered here.

Anyone think that Alshon Jeffries is already more valuable than Miles Austin? I'm tempted to drop Miles for his replacement, knowing that my waiver wire already contains players more useful than Miles. I think I'm rocking the whole Loss aversion thing here. I'm scared Miles will do well if I drop him, but really there's what, a 25% chance his hammy gets right and he somehow does somethign being Dez and Witten?

Looking for some WR help, no PPR, start 3 WR, no flex

current WR:
Calvin, Jordy, Stevie Johnson, Emmanual Sanders, Ryan Broyles
WW:
Nate Washington, Greg Jennings, Cotchery, Jeffries, Sydney Rice, Michael Floyd, Vincent Brown, Lance Moore
I also could probably drop Green-Ellis or Bradshaw to make room.

I'd dump Broyles for Jennings although those first four seem perfectly fine and as such I wouldn't use a high waiver or decent FAAB amount

Alshon Jeffery. Idk why so many people say Jefferies.
