Thinking of trading for Derrick Henry before him maybe getting traded. Smart?
oh no

Hindsight is going to tell you if it's smart or not. Should be able to sell high now and help your team. On the other hand, the right trade makes King Henry a league winner down the stretch, if it happens.

If Roschon clears concussion protocol, I don't see them making him the lead back this week, especially with Foreman doing just fine. I'd pass if you have other decent options.
I wouldn't want to start either because it isn't knowable. Foreman was a healthy scratch for multiple weeks. Carolina didn't bother resigning him after last season. I think the Bears likely want to see if Roschon is a viable RB option going forward.

Foreman played 46% of snaps. So maybe he just isn't a good pass blocker nor route runner.
He got injured and missed a chunk of the game, but I do think it is possible they ride RoJo

Is this trade worth making in a 12 team PPR? I'm trying to sell high on Hunt

Give - Pittman and Hunt
Get - Moore

Remaining WRs - Waddle, Addison, Aiyuk, Williams
Remaining RBs - CMC, Hall, R Johnson, Jeff Wilson, Achane (IR)

Not crazy about it, but it is a trade you can get done because of Fields question marks around his return. That said I think this is a trade you do because the upside is much better for you. If Moore doesn't work out, I don't think your team is hurt that bad.

What teams do you think he would go to?
Baltimore, TB and ??

I don't think Henry has been bad enough that you can pick him up on the low. He has had 3 weeks > 18 points in PPR and 1 week at 14 points. Henry has an amazing playoff schedule on the Titans.

If anything I'd look at maybe trying to get Spears. Maybe a guy like Tank Dell would get it done.

Pick 2, non-PPR

Pollard vs LAR
Swift vs Wash
Foreman vs LAC
Mixon vs 49ers

I'm going to go out on the limb here and recommend:
Pollard a projected top 5 RB ROS.
Swift a current top 5 RB.

I lean Kincaid given the match ups and higher upside.

That's what I was thinking but he didn't go for it.

Should I do Addison/Hunt for Moore?

That's about as high as I'm willing to pay for Moore

very good game for Gabe Davis

87 yards & TD

Opponent streaming a QB this week against me got 21.38 points from Baker Mayfield while I only got 8.3 from James Cook. Ugh. At least I subbed in Kincaid for Engram last minute and got a TD out of that.

Other league: opponent in last place who I have to beat got 23.7 from Gabe: of course his best output of the season. Ugh.

I'm with you, in my money league guy started Gabe, 23.7 pts.

Jerome Ford was back practicing today. So there goes my IR slot player. Hunt and Strong values just got hurt.

Hunt's workload has increased the last 2 weeks with Ford active and he scored 2 TDs last week with Ford active.

His value takes somewhat of a pop but not much.

Thoughts on my flex options for this week. My options are:
Jahmir Gibbs vs LV
Aaron Jones vs Min
Zay Flowers vs Ari
DJ Moore vs LAC
Josh Palmer vs Chi
Romeo Doubs vs Min
Rashee Rice vs Den
Leaning Gibbs with Monty out again this week likely or Moore in a pretty favorable matchup and a game script that will have the Bears airing it out a lot vs LA.

Interested to see what other Waddle owners are doing with him right now.

Is he still a lineup lock or benched until production increases or trade candidate?

Who would you start over Waddle? Guy has a nice floor and this week Tyreek could be out. If he has a big week I would look to trade him.

I have Pittman, Aiyuk, and Addison and I'm contemplating sitting Waddle going against a tough defense plus he was limited in practice with ack issues.

Yes he's a nice floor but I'm getting impatient waiting on the WR1 production that he was drafted for.
texagbeliever
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Addison yes.
Aiyuk's 4 of his last 5 games have been <12 points PPR. He now has Sam Darnold throwing the ball to him and that is with a very good Cincy defense.
Pittman was a dud before a 75 yard TD late in the fourth quarter on a busted play. Against a Saints defense that shuts down the wide WRs.

If you think you need a boom game, go with Aiyuk over Pittman and Waddle. If you are worried about Waddle's injury, bench him. Otherwise I think you bench Pittman over Waddle.

Jameson Williams droppable? I want to pickup Charbonnet because I have Ken Walker

Yes for Charbonet.

PPR flex:

Rashee Rice @DEN
DeAndre Hopkins vATL
Smith-Njigba vCLE
Mattison @GB
Chuba vHOU
oh no

I have had to drop Charbonnet in two leagues in the last few weeks. Looks like now he may start as SEA's RB1 if walker's calf injury keeps him out.

Might grab him back in one league- could start him over Javonte at RB2 this week- drop Chuba. Or is Chuba worth holding for ROS if he's going to keep eating into and eventually take over workload from Sanders ?

RBs are Swift, Javonte, Mattison, Chuba with Kyren on IR

oh no said:

have any JJ owners entertained trade offers? He could be back in two weeks. on the other hand, JJ drafters like me were likely not looking at great RB picks at #20 and/or 21 and with bad luck at 40/41 like me, have been struggling there.

someone offered me David Montgomery for JJ; thinking of countering: Montgomery + Mark Andrews for JJ + Kincaid.

My WRs are: JJ, Olave, Garrett Wilson, Jakobi, Downs, Rice
My RBs are: Swift, Kyren, Javonte, Mattison, Chuba
My TEs are: LaPorta, Kincaid (just grabbed off waiver)

with both JJ and Kyren on IR (and also having lost and dropped Khalil and Ant Richardson to IR already), team is really struggling.


edit; or what about JJ for JT straight up? i think i'd go from RB-weak to remaining WR-weak though... maybe just wait for both JJ and Kyren to return from IR and i'll be ok down the stretch.


A week ago I got JJ for Olave, Howell, and Mattison. He was in a bad spot with his 2 qbs going down and no rbs after going 0 rb draft strategy. He was also in last place and needed to make a move fast and couldn't wait for JJ to come back.

Gibbs is definitely the play with Montgomery likely out

Walker was removed from the Seahawks' injury report

he should play

I'm kinda itching to pick up Spears in both leagues ahead of all these Henry trade rumors, or maybe Sutton ahead of all the Jeudy/Sutton trade rumors. but will need to stream a QB next week in one league and the following week in the other. Chuba is probably my easiest drop guy in both.

strongly considering playing Michael Thomas over Hopkins without a QB..?
