That's tough.

I currently have jordy and he is by far the most consistent player on my team, he's good for at least 1 TD and 50-60 years every game, normally he'll get more.

I also have Gates and he's been hot and cold, i've played him basically every week and some weeks im stoked and some weeks i wanna drop him.

I don't know a ton about the other two guys, but im guessing since he offered you three players, these other two aren't any better than Gates.


If it was me, I'd keep jordy.

I am in a pickle right now as well, I really need a TE for week 10 (gronk and gates both have byes) and basically every "good" TE is owned (12 teams) so im having a hard fucking time finding a good replacement.

Keep Jordy. If you are in a PPR league he is as valuable as a decent RB IMO. Especially with Lacy struggling to get going on the ground on a consistent basis.


This week do I play Gore vs. Denver? or Moreno vs. Chicago?

I have just been, yes I'll say it, raped by injuries this week.

Lost:

V. Cruz
K. Moreno
D. Sproles

All three of these fuckers went out with knee injuries too. Looks like my 4th string RB just became my number 2 (Fred Jackson...)

If anyone is seriously hurting at RB, I would pick up McKinnon. You're guaranteed ~10 points in a PPR every week. After this week is looks like the Vikings offense is more inept than I thought. This means a lot of touches for McKinnon

my RB situation is grim. andre williams, zac stacy starting, with mckinnon at flex. thinking of trading josh gordon for ahmad bradshaw (I'm 1-5, my buddy is 5-1, I need something now, can't bank on 3 weeks down the line..) and dropping zac stacy for andre ellington. any thoughts?

and at WR I have percy harvin, decker, and golden tate. my only saving grace is julius thomas who's beasting this season.

and fuck AP, again.

I have the most scored in my league by over 60, but I am also second in points against, hence my 4-2 record.

I have had over 100 points averaged against so far.

Not sure. I'm counting on him getting a lot of screen pass type receptions. My first thought based on how MN has been playing is that he's not going to get a lot of YAC. But McKinnon is pretty good at making guys miss so the big play opportunity is there.

Yeah I have by far the most points against, which is super shitty. I feel like I have a pretty good team too but I'll probably get the ruxin if I don't start lucking out. My lineup for this week is Newton, Foster, Murray, Forte, Julio Jones, Kelvin Benjamin, Antonio Gates, Nick Novak, and the Chargers D. My bench is Foles, Sanu, Oliver, Hilton, Matt Bryant. Any changes I should make? Also, should I drop the chargers for the panthers?

How do you lose with that lineup??!

Jesus.

I would put Sanu in over Kelvin.

Maybe try to get a better TE if possible. Try to trade TY or Oliver

Miller no doubt, he's been super consistent and when tannahill cant pass for shit in the red zone (most games) they just give it to miller at the 2 yard line.

Our league switched to Yahoo this year because the leagues are way more customizable. For instance, we have keepers, but you keep the player in the round they were drafted in. So people keep players based on their value vs everyone keeping all the best, first round players. ESPN doesn't allow you to do that.

I like ESPN's fantasy coverage more, but the layout of the website is better on Yahoo in my opinion. And the waivers cleared shortly after I posted that, so it was NBD.

snobunnyI'm planning on starting Rueben Randle over Brian Quick at WR2 and Sanu over Wayne at Flex. Any reason I shouldn't?


I'd go with Sanu and Wayne personally. Cincy has not been very good against the pass. No team in the NFL has thrown the ball more than the colts. And Vegas has the Cincy/Indy game O/U set at 50 points, highest of the week. Plus, they played last Thursday, so they will have 10 days to prepare. And TY is coming off a HUGE game and will be the Bengals top priority to stop on Defense. That's going to leave Wayne in a lot of single coverage which = lots of targets to move the sticks.

Dallas, on the other hand, has allowed the 2nd fewest fantasy points to opposing WRs. The Giants offense has been a mess way more than it's looked good, and Eli spreads the ball around a lot. Cruz going down looks good for Randle on paper, but Beckham Jr is emerging there, and Donnell has had a few quiet weeks and is due for another good game.

Randle is a great WR to have on the roster going forward, but I want to see how the Giants go forward without Cruz.

Neither have a great matchup, but I'd go with Vareen. There's no way he's going to see less work than he did when Ridley was still in the mix, but how much more he sees vs Bolden and White, no one will know until later tonight. The Jets are vulnerable to the pass though, which is Vareen's forte.

McKinnon had a lot more touches than Asiata last week, but he was dreadful in pass pro (I think Bridgewater got sacked 8 times) and the Vikes said they are going to get Asiata more involved again this week. And Buffalo's front 7 is pretty nasty.

I'm torn between Witten and Kelce at TE. Witten has been fairly tame points-wise, but Kelce has to go against the Charger's D, which has been good against TEs.
