They did this morning. Espn is intentionally not doing it I guess

Ah the word this morning was he was wanting a second opinion I figured that was the hold up but maybe not

JJ is still listed as D, not O or IR, on yahoo as well... frustrating.. same with Khalil, same with Achane

I think a player keeps the same status as the end of the previous game (except if on a bye week) until after the wavier wire runs. That is why players that are Out from concussions are eligible for IR spot because they got ruled out in game.

Thanks oh no, pushed me over the edge on WR and will of course keep an eye out rest of week if anything unforeseen changes.

So with Achane out and A Jones on bye, at RB4(double flex) I'm left between Rhamondre @LV or JT @Jax - decent names that have yet to perform tho plus matchups
Also could consider Hopkins/Hollywood/Flowers who have yet to be started this season, even though it is PPR I've been gunnin with quad RBs (plus Tyreek Puka)

Need to pick 3 for 12 team PPR

Waddle v CAR - Favorable matchup
Jordan Addison @ CHI - Favorable matchup and with no JJ I expect and uptick in targets
Aiyuk @ CLE - Tough matchup
Pittman Jr @ JAX - Favorable matchup

I like all four of those options. Pittman's prospects should be looking up with Gardner throwing the ball instead of AR running the ball too.

this last place team is in a world of hurt. 1st round pick is out now, possibly for a long time. 2nd round pick lost his QB four snaps into the season. 3rd round pick started strong but targets have fizzled big time last few weeks. QB is now on IR-starting a backup that hasn't been good.

with Wilson and Olave being so hit/miss inconsistent, should I be thinking about starting Jakobi and Osborn? with the match-up this week, should Mattison be starting at flex?

Yeah so do I but I'm having a hard time deciding which 3 are gonna be the best option.

I really don't wanna bench either of these guys. Good problem to have I guess

ff pros wk 6 ppr rankings has Waddle, Aiyuk, and Pittman as the #10, 12, and 14 overall WRs for week 6. Addison is 27. Maybe give addison a week without JJ to see how it pans out. They're on the road vs a Bears team that looked pathetic for 3 weeks before seemingly having a get-right game vs Denver and destroying WAS last week. Not sure what to expect with the MIN passing game script vs that jeckel & hyde team in Chicago. KJ Osborn is going to be in JJ's x wr position, Bears give up a lot in the running game so far this year. Hockenson's targets are sure to increase as are addison's.

Thinking I need a solid WR to complete my team. 1 PPR, 1 QB / 3 WR / 1 FLEX league.

Thinking this as my initial offer:
I receive: AJ Brown
I lose: Breece Hall and LaPorta/Kittle

My roster:

QB: Allen/Geno Smith
RB: Pollard/Kyren/Breece/Charbonnet/Roschon
WR: Tyreek/Amari/Thielen/Burks/Atwell/Michael Wilson
TE: LaPorta/Kittle

His roster:

QB: Tua
RB: Henry/D Pierce/Cam Akers/Gibson/AJ Dillon
WR: Diggs/AJ Brown/Jakobi/Sutton/Higgins/Gabe Davis/Palmer
TE: Ferguson/Freiermuth

Not a fan of the trade. Kyren proved he is more mortal and I'd be worried he may wear down as the season goes on. Meanwhile Breece Hall is special.

I would go after Higgins if I were you. Maybe just Kyren or a Roschon + Kittle would get that done.*

*Edited because I think Zags is right on value.

Pitts was dropped before the wkd and I burned top waiver for him since slow ww week
so now deciding Waller @Buf and Pitts vsWas with both hopefully starting to finally break out

instinct to stick with Waller this wk due to likely gamescript while Atl-Was could be a slow fartfest

If Jones is out the option is easier. But still two unexciting prospects in my opinion.

at Higgins current value I'd think either Kyren or LaPorta straight up for him would be more than fair

Thoughts here? start/sit analyzers seem to suggest i bench garrett and start jakobi at WR and Mattison at flex. meanwhile, olave has easily the fewest targets the past two weeks.

I imagine once they finally update JJ to "IR" status, i'll move him to IR and drop AR and Khalil to create two open roster spots.

My team is very similar to yours (same first 2 picks) but actually even worse than yours and I'm 4-1. FF is crazy. My wife's team is stacked and has 42 more points than mine this year along with crazy bench stats and she's 2-3. Worry here is regression because my team is bad enough to literally lose out now without JJ. Luckily my wife's team is good enough to potentially win out, however she loses Achane but has good depth

I think your team is actually pretty good must've been pretty unlucky start decisions or unlucky matchups. To actually answer your question, I would try my hardest to get mattison in the lineup against the bears. He's due some progression for as much volume as he gets and potentially great game script matchup depending on bears offense. Not sure who to bench nobody elite nobody bad.

Edit: didn't see his lack of usage Sunday. Maybe keep him on the bench. But I think I'm gonna try and trade for him on the cheap because of the downturn in usage in a bad game script game

I think I'm gonna drop dalvin cook for rashee rice. Any hesitation with this?

naa. i'm holding rashee in one league. he's got potential to break out and start commanding more than 5 targets per game even though KC will continue to spread the targets around. meanwhile, dalvin is not going to start for you even on bye weeks and no one else in your league is going to pick him up and win the league with him. his value is a handcuff stash in case of injury, but he's still on a team without a good offense.

Thanks. ESPN finally put JJ on IR

i do think mattison deserves a start at chicago, but throwing darts if i move jakobi up to wr, and if so, which of garrett or olave do i bench? or none?


this team picked up kyren after week 1, but didnt' start him in week 2.. so in the three weeks with kyren, he's scored 8, 27, and 7 fantasy points. oof. ...this team also just traded for swift last week, so only started him last week, the same week that both AR and JJ went down and only scored 4 and 5 points respectively. this team also started Javonte in the juicy matchup with chicago, only for him to go down in Q1 with 3 points. original flex starter was DHop (traded along with Miles Sanders for Swift and Rashee) who was very inconsistent- of course his best game was the week i traded him away and JJ goes down. Olave had three solid outings and then fell off the map the past two weeks. ...but also, lost a close one in week 1 where the opponent got 37 points from Dallas defense and week 3 lost a close one where opponent got over 45 pts from Mostert

yahoo finally has JJ's designation as IR. Now i have JJ, AR, and possibly Khalil (upcoming) all with IR designations, but only one IR spot in my FF league.

Should I put JJ in IR, drop AR and Khilil and open two roster spots - can start looking for upcoming QB and TE bye fill-ins or add a rb handcuff like spears.. ...or should I hold AR and/or Khalil for a week or two and await updates?

Honestly no clue what I would do in your situation. Tough to continue with Lawrence every week no matter what but also tough to waste 3 roster spots with QBs. Maybe trade AR and/or Khalil for a dart throw that is slightly better than your waiver wire to a team with an open IR spot. As for the start/sit decision I'm out on that too as it is so close could go either way.

I would think you can put one on IR, drop one, and use a roster spot to stash one.

Personally I would drop AR. He's come out of every game he's played in so far.

He has serious durability issues on top of the fact he is going to get hit a lot based on his playing style and doesn't protect himself very well. That's not gonna change once he comes back.

Mattison owner in my league is stacked and hasn't played him since week 1. Only place he's slightly questionable is TE with Goedert. Should I try to trade cole kmet for mattison or mark andrews for mattison and maybe a lower end WR? Doesn't help my cause here that Goedert went off on Sunday

I think I agree with this. Is there anybody on your waiver wire that you would ever start in their current state even in bye weeks? Your depth isn't bad per se already.

Kyren AND Kittle for Higgins...lol. Do NOT even trade one on one for Higgins.

I would 100% trade either of those straight up for Higgins. Bengals offense is back and Kittle is someone that will win and lose you weeks which will get you a nice playoff bounce.

Here are Kittle's Target numbers: 6,3,9,1,4. It just so happened that last week on 4 targets he caught 3 TDs. Kittle is tied for 16th in targets. If this is a full ppr league that means really low floor.

PPR

Gabe Davis
KJ Osborn
Swift

pick 2

Osborn and swift I think but I could be swayed. I just feel like gabe is due a dud at some point as he always has booms or busts. Although he looks more consistent this year than past years. We will see if it sticks

was hoping to play matchups between Deshaun and Richardson, now Deshaun still Q for Sun, better ros pickup to pair with him- Goff or Stafford?

less interesting options - Russ, Geno, Love

Picked up Roschon off waivers this week and the Khalil Herbert owner dropped him so I have a chance to pick him up as well in a couple weeks before he comes off of IR

BUT also see Zack Moss on waivers. Does he have any value with JT back? Would y'all drop Roschon and take a chance on Moss? I don't really need either one for this week. But possible bye week fill ins for later
