Getting the ball rolling on this!

I just received a trade offer, and I need some thoughts. 10-man, two flex, .5 PPR league.

My team:
QB: Herbert
RB1: Breece
RB2: Achane
WR1: Jjettas
WR2: Keenan
TE: Kelce
FLEX: Aiyuk
FLEX: Gus Edwards
Bench: Jordan Addison, Jerome Ford, Drake London, Najee Harris, Jerry Jeudy, Christian Watson

I just got offered CMC and Michael Pittman for Hall, Aiyuk, and Keenan...feels like an overpay, but is it worth it to have the firepower of CMC on my roster?

I don't think you can do that trade until you know for sure JJ is back. You don't have enough startable guys.

Another piece, I am 6-3, and six teams make the playoffs. JJ is definitely coming back this season; just not sure about this week.

Big bye week as several good offenses are on bye in week 10: Dolphins, Chiefs, Eagles, Rams

Also, not sure about ya'll's leagues, but assuming this is Yahoo default - 11/18 might be your FF trade deadline- coming up!!

Are we targeting Keaton Mitchell on the waivers? Was his game a fluke, or could he take over the Baltimore backfield?

if you're all past all your byes and injuries and have a spot available, he's a good stash, although there are other good stashes out there. Gus bus isn't going anywhere, IMO, especially at goal line. I think they rested him with a good lead. Justice Hill vs Keaton Mitchell? Not sure what we see ROS. ..and Lamar is still the biggest threat for carries.

Have #1 priority. Someone dropped mattison last week. Is he worth burning #1?

Other RBs are hall, Stevenson, and Jones. Had to recently drop some rb stashes for bye weeks

Yes.

Hall and Jones are past bye weeks; Rhamondre is not. You don't have depth to absorb any injuries down the stretch, the vikings just lost Cam Akers who was eating into mattison's work. Use the priority and take him.

He's a legit talent, speed/agility simlar to Achane. He posted a 4.37 40-yard dash at the NFL combine and had the fastest 10-yard split (1.48 seconds), too. I had him stashed in my IR spot for a while, but dropped when his hamstring issue came up. The question is does he get the carries during meaningful playing time, and is that now a three person committee in BAL. I have no idea what he's like in pass protection, I'm guessing not great. I don't see much value next week against CLE. I fear the Jaleel McL (Den) change up role. If he can surpass J. Hill as the main pass catching back could be an every week starter. Usually not good to read to much in garbage time points, but he is friggin quick and the closest thing to another Achane based on speed.

I'm trying to decide putting in top priority for him or CJ Stroud (dropped before he played). My QBs are Dak and Kyler (currently in IR). I'm thinking Stroud since my RBs are solid and Mitchell is a speculation add.

yes, I would grab him

Vikings have a soft playoff schedule

I would take CMC

CMC, Achane, Kelce, Gus, and JJ can win the league

probably not a bad idea to break up the Herbert-Keenan stack -- it's only hit 4 times in 8 games

will have to pick your spots to start Ford and Najee

new QB in Atlanta should boost Drake London

RB's that I drafted:

40: Miles Sanders
41: Alexander Mattison
80: Khalil Herbert
81: Javonte Williams
101: Zach Charbonnet

RB's on my roster now (only one drafted left):

D'Andre Swift (via trade)
Aaron Jones (via trade)
Kyren Williams (via waiver)
Javonte Williams
Chuba Hubbard (via waiver)

If the Herbert-Keenan stack isn't good, then should he be looking for Dobbs as his QB? I don't see Herbert scoring 17+ fantasy points without Keenan having solid games. With his finger injury I just think he is off at the moment as well.

Man another clunker from Waddle has me ready to give up on him for ROS. That crazy?

What an absolute dud he's been considering his ADP and expectations coming into this season.

What does give up mean? Trade him for what? Bench him for who?

Weird roster NFL rules question, if Foreman isn't declared for the 53 man roster does that mean he is on the practice squad and another team can add him?

Well I don't wanna trade him when his value is low. Should've tried to move him after his 25 point performance in week 8.

But yeah I'm about to move him to the bench for either one of Addison, Pittman, or Aiyuk.

I figure Waddle can be a matchup play who can slide in when it's favorable.

I think you start Waddle over Addison when JJ is back and what have you seen from Aiyuk that says he is a lock in start over Waddle. Now Pittman i get. He has the highest floor and good ceiling.

Should I look to replace Browns defense to avoid the Baltimore offense.

Ravens have scored >30 points in 3 straight games. 2 blow out wins at home in a row.

IMO Aiyuk and Waddle are about the same with Aiyuk showing a bit more consistency. That and Waddle has left now I think in 3 games with injuries.

I drafted Waddle as a WR1 with the expectation he'd be a top 10 WR. That's certainly not the case as it stands now.

Only if you can get them back/keep them in your bench. They are the best defense in football right now.

WR borderline 1s that busted from the draft: Waddle, Olave, Wilson (injury to Rodgers, probably a good pick otherwise), Ridley, Devonta Smith, Deebo, Metcalf.

The steals of the draft: Keenan Allen, Mike Evans, DJ Moore, Thielen, Nico, Puka, & Dell.

I'd say AJ Brown was a steal for where he went in most drafts. Guy is a stud.

CD Lamb, Jordan Addison, Brandon Aiyuk, Michael Pittman, Jakobi Meyers, and Christian Kirk have all been great values too.

Davante Adams was a tough pick, obviously bad luck for JJ and Kupp with injuries to them and their QBs.

I was trying to look at guys who were picked to be that 8-15 guy and guys who ended up being that 8-15 guy.

Yes AJ Brown has been great. I think Chase, CD, Amon Ra, Diggs were all good picks. Chase may be the worst int that bunch because you could have gotten CMC instead but other than that guy is consistent.

in my 6-point passing TD leagues...total scoring

Herbert is QB9
Dobbs is QB10

only 5 points separate them thru week 9

the Chargers play indoor games in weeks 14, 15, and 16 vs. the Broncos, Raiders, and Bills

good playoff schedule

speaking of Waddle and playoff schedules...

not a great setup for those of us that have been riding the Dolphins' offense to wins:

week 14 vs. Titans
week 15 vs. Jets
week 16 vs. Cowboys
week 17 at Ravens

looking at streaming a kicker for Jake Elliott this week... just drop Jake Elliott, right? He's been a high-scoring kicker, but Dustin Hopkins and McManus are there.

Just flipped Najee for Sam LaPorta.

I would have said that is nearly criminal, but the last two weeks TEs have been TD machines.
6 TEs > 20 points, 13 TEs > 12 points. Week 9
5 TEs > 20 points, 13 TEs > 12 points. Week 8

4 TEs > 20 points, 8 TEs > 12 points. Week 7
1 TEs > 20 points, 6 TEs > 12 points. Week 6
6 TEs > 20 points, 11 TEs > 12 points. Week 5
2 TEs > 20 points, 7 TEs > 12 points. Week 4
2 TEs> 20 points, 8 TEs > 12 points. Week 3
1 TEs> 20 points, 5 TEs > 12 points. Week 2

What will be interesting is does TE go back to the few haves and many have nots or has a flip been switched?

Tank Dell is available in one of my leagues.

Who do i drop for this waiver claim?

JSN
Rashee

other WRs are Olave, Flowers, DHop, Jefferson(IR)

i was able to pick up Kincaid on waivers two weeks ago in both of my leagues ahead of LaPorta and Engram's byes. ...now in each league, I think I have two top 5 TEs for ROS.. (insert I know what I got.gif...) ..but not sure what I can deal Kincaid for- he's not past his bye and TEs are popping off every week now. Taysom is available on waivers in one league. I suppose I hold both TEs in case of injuries ahead of playoffs.

Drop Rashee in my opinon.

JSN is behind Metcalf and Lockett who are talented players and get targets. Losing out to target share to 2 injury prone but very talented guys makes sense. And the rookie has been growing into the role.
Rashee is being out targeted by Justin Watson, MVS, etc. Basically Rashee isn't a guy Mahomes is looking to feed. I think because he isn't a route winner (but is a better athlete than the other WRs). The fact he hasn't differentiated himself from a weak crowd is telling to me.

streaming defense options look especially weak this week.
