Currently, two players over the roster limit. My team is:
QB: Herbert, Anthony Richardson
RB: Javonte, Jerome Ford, Justice Hill, Kenneth Gainwell, De'Von Achane, JT (on IR)
WR: Jjettas, Keenan, Aiyuk, Drake London, Jordan Addison, Jahan Dotson, Tank Dell
TE: Mandrews
K: Jake Moody
D/ST: Chiefs and Browns
Need to make two cuts potentially...I am hoping to wait it out and see if Aiyuk and/or Hill are declared out, and I can just IR them.
If not, cut Dell and Gainwell/Hill?
I also have an offer of $50 FAAB for Anthony Richardson...would anyone consider that? I have $71 right now, and that would give me more than anyone in the league, but I'd rather hold onto Richardson and flip him to a QB needy team in the future or just start him on Herbie's bye and if he ever struggles.
how many IR spots do you have? Assuming JT is already occupying one, then you can possibly use one later today on Aiyuk. ???
I don't like carrying two defenses until mid/late FF season so that i can try to nab two good ones for FF playoffs matchups at the end. Cleveland has a tough match-up next week, then a bye and some tough matchups mid-season, but an outstanding FF playoff schedule. Assuming you want to just hold them all season so no one else gets them before playoffs- is that your strat with two defenses already? IMO, CLE looks good on defense IRL, but it hasn't translated to being that valuable of a defense in FF yet vs a gimby Burrow and a bad PIT offense. Unless you have Dallas, I'm not sure it's vital to hold many other defenses all season if you're not playing them every week. You could probably get them back midseason before their great playoff schedule hits. KC has great matchups for the next two weeks. If you want, get CLE back after their bye because no one else is picking them up during their bye and no one is picking them up week 6 when they play @SF.
Still need to drop some players other than putting Aiyuk in IR later and maybe dropping a defense? How often do you ever think you'll need Dotson or Dell or Achane or even London to start? Probably never. How scared are you that someone else will grab them off waivers and beat you with them or win the league with them? Probably not at all.
Three, so the hope is I can throw Richardson and Aiyuk in there if they are both declared out.
Generally feel the same way about defenses. I want to hold Cleveland the whole year because they have a phenomenal playoff schedule and should be good down the road..I like a lot of their regular season matchups too. I figured I'd be able to hold both for a week or two with how many guys I've been able to slot into the IR, but all of that has been slow played this week. Richardson hasn't met the practice threshold to clear concussion protocol, and I highly doubt Aiyuk plays in a matchup that he doesn't need to play in...if he does, I'll probably bench him anyway since it seems serious.
My league is very weird about defenses, there are a lot of guys that will hold two, sometimes even three and once it gets to the end of the year, it can be really tough to grab them. I have suggested removing defenses like three times, and no one ever wants to. I hate rostering them and hate that sometimes it feels necessary to have two of them.
