Received a trade offer a bit ago.
I get Austin Ekler for Jahmir Gibbs and Zay Flowers
My team
Qb: Joe Burrow Trevor Lawrence
RBs: Swift Hall and Jones
WR: Justin Jefferson( on IR) ARSB DJ Moore Josh Palmer Romeo Doubbs Rashee Rice
TE: LaPorta
Thoughts?
ok he wants me to throw Trevor Lawrence in the deal is that still a take seems steep

Look at your schedule, what week are you playing Lawrence over Burrow. Lawrence hasn't scored more than 20 points in 4 pt TD leagues once. We are nearing the point where you don't keep 2 qbs. Roster a Bigsby or Dowdle (2nd RB for a lotto chance). So that isn't much in my opinion.

Anotherwords I'm saying you would be best off dropping Lawrence anyways.

Yeah after looking at it I can't because I can't enough out of LaPorta or Andrews to justify loosing Achane.

Pretty certain I could get Zack Moss for Andrews but turning Achane into Moss doesn't seem worth it.
Andrews can get you more than Moss (Mixon at worst maybe a Pollard or Swift). If you want to play big, you may be able to trade Hall for a top 5 WR if he has a blow up week this week (or next week as well) in a plus matchup then replace Hall with Achane.

I agree with you on that just feeling like I should be able to get a extra piece for the three but I think I'm gonna accept it

You are getting a tremendous steal. In a trade like that I think you should have to give up a RB 15 + WR 15-20 for a top 5 RB. You are only giving up a RB 15 + WR 30-36 or so + QB 10-14. That is how you build a team that wins in the playoffs.

I have Olave and Zay Flowers starting at WR in one league while JJ is on IR... at PPR flex, I need to choose between:

DHop @PIT tonight
Rashee Rice v MIA (frankfurt germany)


DHop was on my bench last week when he erupted. I finally benched him after the 1 catch game the previous week, thinking Rice was ready to light it up vs Denver defense. Oof. Now, I'm afraid to chase DHop's points - Thursday night, Will Levis on the road can't repeat that performance vs a much better defense, can he? ...and despite the 3TDs and 128 yds, it was still ONLY 4 receptions and ONLY 6 targets last week. ...about the same # of targets and catches that Rice has been getting consistently and KC v MIA figures to be a shoot out, right? Then again, Levis and the Titans may fully rely on DHop and throw it to him 15 times tonight...
texagbeliever

I think Hopkins has a reasonable floor.

If the Titans can run the ball, eventually the safties for Pit will creep up and DHop will have some deep catches.
If the Titans can't run the ball, then Levis is going to throw the ball to his most talented WR even if he has double coverage because he isn't going to be making his progression.

So under scenario A probably 5-7 targets for DHop. Scenario B 7-12 targets for DHop. Not saying they will all be good but he will have looks.

Lets do some "blind" stats to pick. One of these is the most overrated WR for FF in my opinion, and then a sell high and buy low targets. Stats are average per game. Who would you take?

Player__Targets___Receptions__TDs___Yards
A-----------7.4---------------5------------0.3-------89
B-----------7.6--------------4.5----------0.3--------67
C-----------7.8--------------4.7----------0.7--------72
D-----------7.1--------------5.5----------0.5--------86

Jerome Ford v ARI
Najee v TEN tonight
texagbeliever
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I'd go with Ford as long as he has at least a limited practice today. TEN will want a rib injured Pickett to beat them. I would bet on this being a more Jaylen Warren game because inside running likely won't be an option.

I'm in the EXACT same boat.
Clearly Ford...if he is back to pre-injury carries. Najee has been very below average.

That's the questions though, will they restrict him or turn him loose?
Zachary Klement

That's what I'm leaning.

Would suck to stare at the 4.2 I'd get from Najee today when I can get 5.1 from Ford on Sunday!

Option C looks best.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
The four guys are Aiyuk, Metcalf, Evans & Moore. Generally people rank them as Aiyuk, Moore, Metcalf, & Evans.

Aiyuk is my most overrated FF WR. Everyone thinks he is this great top 10ish WR but he never gets top 10 targets and his TD equity is not good. Aiyuk is 30th in targets per game and that is with Deebo missing a couple of games. Ranks Tied for 49th in targets in the redzone with 4.

Have both Kittle and Engram who are on byes. WW is ridiculous. Who do I pick up for the week:
Mayer
Henry
Okonkwo
Otton
oh no
How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
ooof.. someone already picked up McBride?

Henry is the highest ranked of those four on fpros wk 9 ppr rankings at TE#16 . ... and WAS just traded two of their best defensive players this week at the trade deadline.

that being said, Mayer is 17, Okonk is 19, Otton is 21, so might as well flip a coin on any of them. Okonk plays tonight if you want to give yourself something to cheer for.

Josh Downs was added to the injury report today with a knee injury.

Debating whether I should just go ahead and start Najee tonight and figure out who to flex between Jerome Ford/Josh Downs/Christian Watson later.
oh no
How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
I think Ford is a safe bet to play; no need to start Najee in a RB spot today. Just flex Downs if he plays and Watson if Downs is out. ..although Watson is noon and Downs is afternoon. Hopefully you get a better update on Downs on Friday or Saturday.

I definitely think he plays, I am just concerned he is limited, similar to the way he was last week.

I'll need to stream a QB in one league for Trevor Lawrence's bye

Carr v CHI
Minshew @CAR
Levis @PIT (thurs)
Kyler @CLE (unclear if Tune or Kyler will start)
I've been trying to propose some 2 for 1 deals so i can open up a spot to grab a QB for this week, but I'm afraid I'm just going to have to drop someone. My team:

QB: T.Lawrence
RB: Swift, Javonte, Mattison, Chuba, Kyren(IR)
WR: Olave, G.Wilson, Jakobi, Rashee, J.Downs, Jefferson(IR)
TE: LaPorta, Kincaid


What's JJ worth now after Cousins' injury?
i've had two 2 for 1 deals rejected with no counters and still have two 2 for 1 deals just sitting there with no response. Looks like I will have to drop someone to grab a QB (Carr ?) for this week. will probably just wait until Sunday. ... was debating on dropping Lawrence since he's yet to really put up FF points despite playing pretty well with a pretty consistent floor >15, but most likely dropping Mattison or Chuba (must start one of them this week).. Now, I think i should drop Downs since he popped as Questionable (knee) on Thursday despite no designation on Wednesday. Agree?

limited Ford = healthy Najee at the very least

True lmao I don't know why, but I just have a gut feeling Najee has a decent game tonight.

1/2 PPR. Sit two of the following. All projected within a point of each other.

Hopkins vs PIT (Thursday)
Dionte Johnson vs TEN (Thursday)
Zach Moss vs Carolina
Metcalf vs Baltimore
White (TB) vs Houston


Going to bump this. Didn't see someone answer and would be appreciated. Right now, I'm benching White and Metcalf as the other 3 have juicier matchups in theory.

well, maybe you shouldn't listen to me. i was burned so badly by drafting Najee in round 2 last year after his strong rookie year that I have sworn to myself to never have him on any of my fantasy teams ever again.

I'd sit D-Hop and Johnson. Last week was likely a fluke for Hopkins and Johnson is banged up and plays in a terrible offense. Tough call, though.

Exactly how "questionable" is Lockett? Might change your decision on benching Metcalf.

Sit: White and Moss.
My rank: Metcalf, Johnson, Hopkins, White, Moss. I'm thinking JT gets the bulk of the work in positive run game scripts and Moss is more of the negative script guy. Based on HC comments on monday.

End of day I think the coach is thinking, 94 first half yards, 1 in 2nd half is something wrong.

I swapped Drake London and Javonte Williams for him and Christian Watson after the Packers won the first two games, and their offense looked competent. I regret that!

just received a counter offer: Rhamondre for Kyren straight up.
won't help me with my QB situation for this week -would still need to drop Downs (?probably?) and pick up Carr (?probably?) for this week, but thoughts? if processed in time, would start Rhamondre at RB2 instead of Chuba or Mattison this week. ROS though, when Kyren returns, it's a downgrade for me, right?
texagbeliever
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Why do you want any bit of Rhamondre? I'd start Chuba over Rhamondre this week anyways.

I'd keep Kyren.

rejecting that one.; actually countered with Breece for Kyren straight up and he rejected the counter-counter.

but now have a verbal yes on a new one; not accepted in the system yet:

Give: Mattison + Downs
Get: Aaron Jones

what do we think of Aaron Jones for ROS?

good trade. It is basically Downs for Aaron Jones. You are never going to play Mattison.

Downs is at his peak value. Aaron Jones can recover. You don't play him until he has a really solid week but he at least can hit a high ceiling. Downs is a guy you won't play at all once JJ returns.
Jason Ag

Dionte Johnson a good start tonight?

Currently have D. Adams, N. Collins, and D. Johnson plugged in. Usually start Puka, but with Stafford likely to miss, also at GB, currently questionable with a knee issue of his own.
