Someone dropped Chase Brown in my league (12 team PPR) so curious if yall think he'll be an upgrade to my RB2/Flex over Etienne (who I'm having to start this week since JT is on bye)

Also, what's the word on the Davante Adams injury? Would he still be stable over Tee Higgins with Burrow coming back?

yes, pick up Brown

he's come back to life in the past 2 weeks

speaking of Brown...

A.J. Brown to the bench -- right?

DeVonta is clearly the #1 now. He has 48 catches for 657 yards

Brown with 31 catches for 408 yards

I think so, 310 of those 408 yards came in 3 games. That offense is just too spastic this year to trust anyone in the passing game.

So with Bucky still no coming back I'm still rolling with Rashaard White but Sean Tucker scares me.

Is it worth dropping White for Tucker or Tyjae Spears?

Bucky is back practicing. Perfect timing because I just accepted a trade that moves him away

Maye on TNF with a stronger running game doesn't bode well for many points.... But my alternative is risking Dart comes back from concussion....
Or do I try to pick up someone like McCarthy or Brissett?

Also just a heads up if anyone is needing QB help coming down the stretch Joe Burrow has returned to practice and opened his 21-day window.

If you need QB help now would be a good time to scoop and stash him before anyone else.

I snatched him up as a FA for free.

I also have dart and I'm looking at brisset
Likes he's a starter if dart doesn't go

Chase Brown or Dowdle this week as RB2?

Can you not play both? I'd move Brown to flex unless you don't have that spot/better players there.

Dowdle is basically an RB1 at this point with his productivity. Chase is getting hotter again so good problem to have.

No…my RB1 is Jacobs and we don't play a flex. Definitely a good problem now that Brown is heating up. But 6 weeks ago it was a bad problem before picking up Dowdle and Brown was doing nothing. Esoecially since Montgomery and JCM havent done much.

I've been continuing to play Brown when healthy over Flowers and Olave, not sure how much longer I can afford to keep catching the falling knife

wtf?

I've only got two O and three Q on my roster today. Last Wednesday, it was about 9 Qs. #progress

both of my Thursday players, Garrett W and Rhamondre, are OUT.

I'm going to have a PPR Flex decision to make this week:

Charbonnet @LAR
Croskey-Merritt @MIA
Kyle Pitts vs CAR
Pearsall @ARI (he's finally back practicing; not sure if he'll play yet)

Bill at Pitts have the best matchups.
Charbo seems to get TD every other week.
Pearsall could get PPR points if he and Purdy are both back.

Half PPR, who wins this trade?

Chase Brown and George Pickens FOR Ja'mar Chase

ideally both teams win in every trade.

Not sure how dire someone is at RB and TE to give up JaMarr, or what other WRs they're left with. And vice versa for the other team- maybe Brown was on their bench, but who they got at TE now?

Was offered Nico Collins and Shaheed from a RB-needy team for Dowdle.

He's starting Ken Walker and Jordan Mason at RB and only has Pacheco on roster. His other WRs are Puka, Waddle, and Nailer.

My squad:
R: Saquon, Dowdle, Bill, Charbo, Rhamondre, BRJ
W: Odunze, Tetairoa, Pearsall, Garrett W


I'll need to drop someone to accept- probably Kyle Pitts, then probably turn around and propose some other deals for another RB so I'm not starting Charbo or Bill for ROS.

Or maybe I counter to give up other rbs for waddle instead?

The team giving up Jamar has Jonathan Taylor on bye and their only other RB is Deandre Swift who is not practicing. Their WRs are Chase, Jennings, Deebo, AJ Brown, Juedy, Marquise Brown. This team is in 3rd place.

Rhamondre out thurs so prob firing up Henderson over Dowdle @ATL at flex

starting Jacobs and Achane so have some room for error here


other league rolling out Buckeye rookie tandem Henderson + Judkins alongside Gibbs over Harvey(Dobbins IR candidate), Flowers, and Bucky(limited but prob doubtful)

leaning towards rejecting this offer and standing pat. I'm in 5th place of 12 - in a group of 3 teams tied at 6-4 with 3 teams above us tied at 7-3.

With Pearsall coming back this week (I hope), maybe I'm not as dire for WRs even though Garrett is now out for 3-4 weeks. Saquon has great matchups for ROS starting in week 12 onwards and in FF playoffs. Dowdle has been the man since taking over for Chubs. I've got Josh Allen at Q and Bowers at TE. I think my team is fairly solid; just hoped to give up some bench RBs for a real WR1.. not worth dowdle though.

Thoughts?

Need a flex, .5 PPR

WRs are JaMarr, Adams, Q Johnston, Diggs, Watson

JaMarr and Adams are WR starters, even though Adams is Q with an oblique

QJohnston is also Q with a shin

Diggs plays tonight so I need to make a decision

I just acquired Watson, but he's just now coming back from injury as well, so not really a consideration this week

One projection says QJ, the other says Diggs. QJ is on the field a lot but targets are streaky. I like Diggs, but it's Thursday night, so......

What say ye experts?

Id reject the offer. You would be in need of a running back.

So Diggs vs. NYJ or Q. Johnson @ Jax. Both are in the same ranking level. I would probably go Diggs since QJ is questionable, doesn't seem serious, but next week is their bye week. Diggs is also at home. The chargers Oline does not give good feelings either.

Who is more droppable if I don't need either?

Romeo Doubs or Kyle Pitts?

Picked up Joe Burrow on waivers this week.

I think Pitts if he's your third TE. Doubs if he's your 5th WR. If Pitts is your second TE, drop Doubs.

Assuming you've got at least three as good or better WRs rostered and can manage through remaining bye weeks and possibly an injury down the stretch without Doubs. Plus, a streaming spot-start WR if necessary in the next few weeks that's about as good as Doubs could likely be available as a waiver or FA

..even if Doubs is projected for more points than Pitts for ROS, Pitts is ranked as a top 10 or so TE for ROS. Dropping him in a 12 team league could help a league opponent improve/upgrade. Further, if your staring TE gets hurt, he'd be nice to have

I have Chase, London, Rice, and Deebo ahead of Doubs. Kittle is my TE (Pitts TE2)

When I first saw it, my reaction was "is there another C Brown"? Then it became, is he hurt? Has he been ****ting the bed still? The guy who dropped him is in 2nd place at 8-2 so he's doing something right, but his team is cowboys heavy, incl Ferguson, Lamb, Pickens and Aubrey. All on bye last week. So he had limited options, but for some reason he held on to Devin Singletary, who he didn't even start last week anyway. Whatever. . Probably will replace Etienne as my full strength Flex (with JT and Gibbs at RBs)

That being said, could use a little TE and Flex help(again, 12 team PPR)

RB1 Gibbs
RB2 C Brown

WR1 Egbuka
WR2 D Adams

TE- Gadsden or Pitts (OGs injury last week makes me think Pitts bc he has a good matchup against Carolina, but OG has Jax)


Flex- pick 1 of: Harvey, Etienne, Higgins


Clearly need to monitor the injury if Adams, bc Higgins becomes WR2 if Adams doesn't go. I'm thinking starting Higgins if Adams is healthy, and Harvey if he's out or limited . Thoughts??

Breece Hall tonight?

I hate TNF and the Jets stink and the Pats are good. But my bench options would be Charbonnet or T Spears

Anybody heard anything or listened to any news about 49ers QB starter this week?

Purdy practiced yesterday but it's been vague and nothing new reported

I think you have to start Breece.

both my TNF players are out - Garrett Wilson and Rhamondre.

Hopefully it's one of those games where they throw 20 screen passes to the RB

Garrett Wilson to IR

I'm now down three WRs for the next four weeks, one of whom I'm not sure is back yet or not (Pearsall) and two of whom share a bye week when Garrett won't be off IR yet (Pearsall and Tetairoa).

I need to make some deals or drop dudes to free up some space.
