Picked up McKinon for the long play. I hope the Vikings do not become a RB by committee team with AP out.


Anyone else think this is a decent trade?

ForcilloAlright, flex question here: Asiata or Foster? Should I ride the Asiata wave and keep foster in reserve for another week while he heals? Or will he be back on track this week? Asiata does have the better matchup.

On a team 0-4 and struggling ( players listed at the end of the last page in this thread) is AJ Green for donald brown and frank gore a good deal right now?

Brown is absolute garbage this year so youre basically looking at green for gore since youd probably be dropping brown. Gore has been up and down and not like his old consistent self whereas green is one of the best wr in the league. I would turn down that trade in a heartbeat

I still see Asiata getting more touches, at least this week. If McKinon has a good week again, it may change though.

Yes I would make that trade. Giovani is a beast and consistent. Gore is up and down, I don't know what the hell to make of Martin. Do you have excess wr?

Sankey has the better matchup and is getting early down touches over Greene now. I would do that trade personally. Jackson has huge upside but is inconsistent and Jennings will get his. Especially this weekend.

So, someone dropped Ryan Matthews in my league. Given that he will be back in 2-3 Weeks, and is the #1 back on his team when he returns, is is worth dropping Mckinnon or Talifareo to pick him up?

What's your RB situation looking like? When Matthews is healthy he's a steady 8-12 points most weeks, which is serviceable. McKinnon and Taliafero are stash guys that you wouldn't want to play yet, but hope that they get the starting role and explode at some point in the season.

If you're weak at RB and need a steady performer than yes drop one of those guys and add him, if you have a couple solid backs right now, hold the other 2, and hope one of them turns out to be a homerun.

I've got Matt Forte and Arian Foster. I'm concerned about Arian's health down the stretch.

Being a Foster owner I would say pick up Alfred Blue, that should be your priority here.

As far as Matthews goes, wait and see how Baltimore uses Taliafero with having all 3 RBs healthy this week. I doubt anyone is going to pick up Matthews since he's still a couple weeks out.

Kolb? I assume you mean Foles.

That's close, I'm leaning towards Eli though. Played last Thursday, so more time time to prepare, coming off a huge game, at home against the Falcons nonexistent defense.

Who's your current backup? I would pick up Flacco and trade Newton for a RB or Receiver. The Ravens are looking a lot better than Carolina right now and Flacco is decent enough IMO. No idea about spiller vs robinson though.

backup is/was rg3. sitting in IR slot right now. so no backup.

the level newton's playing wouldn't get me any rb/wr that would upgrade my team. as it is he's as good as anyone on waivers so there would be no point of someone trading for him.
