Monday night worries me a little bit with them. I was able to get Denver this morning to stream against the raiders. Denver is #2 fantasy defense this year so far and a pretty good matchup.

hoping for injury report / clarity from coaches or beat writers on some dudes today:

Nabers concussion- back this week?
McBride concussion- back this week?
JT ankle? - how long?
Rashee knee- timeline- if he's out for ROS, I got some moves to make asap.

I think this is pretty much a given.

Should've started making moves Monday.
oh no

Yeah; probably. My IR spot is already full, and i dropped someone else who was also expendable in waivers last night (calvin ridley). Was hoping for a once and for all declaration that rashee is out ROS before dropping his ass. No one else picked up Wan'Dale Robinson or Josh Downs in 10 team league, so I think I'll be able to drop Rashee and grab one of those WRs as a FA later today.

You dropped ridley and you might have a Rice problem?! Whyyy.

Ridley is talented. He can turn it around a be that 6-8 catches kind of guy. Likely no one outside of Legette was available that could have similar upside

I don't think you're gonna get a once and for all declaration just like we haven't gotten that for Pacheco.

It's just kinda assumed he's done for the year.
oh no

don't think i'm ever playing Ridley even after losing Rashee. he's getting 3 targets / 1 catch per game with Will Levis running that offense right now. this is my 10 team league, so there are decent options out there.

I think I like Wan'Dale, Downs, Legette, and even Mooney better than Ridley for ROS right now just based on target volume for PPR points. Have Garrett Wilson and Jameson Williams as well.

Legette i get.
Downs i wouldn't trust with Richardson as QB.
Robinson is the #2 WR with Danile Jones throwing the ball.

If you wanted to start someone this week sure those guys over Ridley. If you want someone who could flip a switch and potentially be a league winner Legette, Ridley, and Downs in that order for me. But it is entirely possible Ridley duds out so I get it.

yeah; Downs would be more if Flacco is QB. Would count on Flacco unlocking Pittman and Downs the way Daulton + Theilen injury unlocked Dionte and Legette.

in PPR scoring, i expect that Daniel Jones' #2 and slot WR is going to continue to get 8-10 targets, even if Nabers gets 10-12 targets. Last week, WanDale still got 14 targets even though Nabers got 15. That's crazy. vs I feel like Ridley is going to be boom /bust on 3-5 targets/game for ROS.

Input on this trade in PPR format?

Give: Diggs and Amari Cooper
Get: CeeDee

Remaining WRs would be Deebo, Terry Mc, JSN, Odunze

Still not buying Diggs can sustain this production and trying to sell high to the CeeDee owner who needs some depth at WR.

They are saying that it is not as bad as initially feared.

Apparently, they have not confirmed an ACL tear...doctors on Twitter are saying that normally if you cannot confirm an ACL tear the following day, it likely is not torn. But people are saying that it could be a bone bruise or PCL sprain and could still be 4+ weeks.

I own him and am NOT cutting him until I know more, but I also have 3 IR slots in my league (currently full smh).

Like it. Cowboys defense just got worse. Mixon will take away targets for Diggs.

Trade Thoughts:

Team is 1-3. Standard Scoring. No fractional points.

QB: Daniels
RB: Achane, Javonte, Bucky, Sermon
WR: McLaurin, AJB, Legette, Jayden Reed, JJennings, Tankless Dell
TE: Freirmuth (had Andrews up until this week)

The offer is AJB for Brian Robinson or Bijan Robinson.

Anyone taking that deal and, if so, which RB? Leaning Brian Robinson even though it gives me 3 playmakers from the same O.

My #2 WR is in bad shape as Rice is out and have Puka on IR...

Pick 1
C Kirk v Indy
WanDale @ SEA
TuTu v GB

I'm leaning WanDale if Nabers is out, if not then Kirk
oh no

I'd do it.

I think I lean Wan'Dale even if Nabers is back. Wan'Dale has had 12, 4, 8, 14 targets even WITH Nabers playing.
oh no

ROS, if you're going to do it, I'd take Bijan over BRJ

With Rice out and AJB on bye...I am struggling at WR2 and FLEX...who to start?
Dontayvion Wicks @LAR
Tank Dell v. BUF
Khalil Shakir @HOU
Rome Odunze v. CAR
Javonte Williams v. LV

At TE, I think I am benching Mark Andrews for Pat Friermuth, so other MAndrews owners, this is the week he gets right!

Anybody trading for McCaffrey? And if so what level are we giving up?

if it's ppr, two WRs. if standard scoring, you might want to start javonte at flex with that matchup.

i think i'd lean Dell and Shakir, assuming both are playing. if one is out, Wicks.

with Wicks, i liked him down the stretch last year, and now he reenters the picture with Watson's injury, but starting him this week would feel too much like chasing last week's points where Doubs, Reed, Kraft, etc. could be the ones getting the love this week and Wicks won't get 13 targets again. Dell and Shakir have the higher floor of knowing they'll get their 4-7 catches.

It's .5 PPR...I was kind of leaning Javonte at flex like you mentioned. The volume has been nice and the Raiders suck.

Yeah I am super torn at WR...I feel decent about Wicks because he has the full time role now with Watson out, but like you said, there are a lot of mouths to feed there, but the same goes for Houston. The best play will probably end up just being whoever is on the team that has to throw the most.

JT is not practicing today. Trey Sermon add looking promising for those who got him.

Fantasy Pros week 5 half point ppr flex rankings have Shakir, Wicks, and Javonte all ranked about the exact same and Dell quite lower.

I was just thinking that Stroud should be throwing over 30 passes even with Mixon back and vs any matchup, so even if Diggs and Nico get theirs, there's still a reliable floor for Tank Dell. I think Love threw over 40 passes in his only two starts, which are both of the Packers' losses, but I just don't feel like that is a reliable offensive plan for them and he's not throwing the ball over 30 times vs LAR.

I think a lot of rankers on FP are dinging him because they think he may not play, I assume that he will rise if he practices the next few days.

Yeah I think Dell and Shakir are likely better plays this week...Dell in a more prolific passing offense or Shakir as the clear best WR on his team.

I am torn! Will probably debate it all week and determine what I do based on how Drake London does on Thursday.

Jakobi Meyers could be interesting with Davante Adams leaving LV.

Chris Olave or Garrett Wilson owners prepare to be disappointed if Davante goes to New Orleans or New York.

I'm a Garrett Wilson owner and I'm already disappointed regardless of whether Adams gets there. Thank goodness Nabers has broken out

You got lucky for sure. Wilson sure has delivered little value as a keeper for you these past 2 years.

I have a trade offer out in my 12 team half PPR

I give: QB: Murray, RB: Brian Robinson Jr, RB: Etienne
I get: QB: Daniels, RB: James Cook, WR: Josh Downs

I consider Daniels a significant upgrade over Murray and Cook a significant upgrade over Robinson.

My team would be:

QB: Daniels
WR: Lamb
WR: Pickens
TE: Kelce
RB: Cook
RB: Mixon
Flex: Dobbins
Flex: Kupp/Jordan Addison/Javonte/Bigsby/Downs

Random prediction, i think Pitts has a really good stat line this week. I think TB will come out ahead. And I think Cousins will throw the ball enough and Pitts will make some plays. I know he got goosed last week, but the week before he was robbed of a TD (missed PI) that would have given him 3 catches 70+ yds and a TD.

So I was able to pick up Leagette off waivers and surprisingly Wicks cleared waivers thinking about picking him up but struggling to find a drop on my bench I have Tank Dell Bucky Irving Javonte Williams also have two TEs in Kmet and Njoku so I could drop Kmet if Njoku is cleared to play this week. Thoughts?
