Once again, injuries have broken fantasy football.

Week 7 Byes: Bills, Jags, Chargers, Commanders

Drop your waiver and streaming questions.

oh you beat me to it. i'll remove my other post.

Four teams on bye: Bills, Chargers, Jaguars, Redskins

Significant injuries in week 6: Hurts, Davante Adams, Terry McLauren, Mike Evans, who else?

Returning in week 7? Breece Hall? Charbonnet? Saquon? Baker Mayfield? Judkins? Josh Jacobs? who else?



for me, I need to stream a QB for Josh Allen's bye. Who to target on my waiver claim? the Trevor Lawrence owner has higher priority than me, so I might be getting second choice this week. Might just let it ride, wake up early and grab whoever is left of these.

Kyler vs IND
Brissett vs DEN
Deshaun Watson @ TEN
Geno Smith vs MIA

...and who to drop?

• Emanuel Wilson, assuming Charbonnet is back, Price will be back soon too so he'll be dropped soon regardless.
• Braelon Allen, assuming Breece Hall is back. He's the better ROS stash to keep and not sure if Breece will be back or not yet - need an RB2 to start this week too- either of these two might be a better bet than my only other option until Etienne is off IR- TreVeyon Henderson.
• I can easily drop BTJ, can't play him now, obviously, but was thinking of trying to hold in stash as trade rumors for him keep heating up.
• I was going to hold Mark Andrews a couple more weeks to get through Kittle's week 8 bye, but could drop him now and just stream a different TE in two weeks.

There are some interesting options that are nearing a return from IR and this may be the week to make a move for them.

1. Terrance Ferguson - Eligible to return week 8. This is a speculation but he could be primed for a massive increase in targets with Adams out.

2. Christian Kirk - 49ers WRs are decimated with injuries and he could wind up as a primary target for a top 5 offense. They do have a week 8 bye but he is a candidate to be activated for week 7.

3. Tank Dell - I'd fade this one. Jaylin Noel looks for real and the addition of Marv makes targets murky.

Only QB that is waiver worthy is Kyler. Allen seems like a hold to me, he's played well enough to possibly earn more snaps once Breece comes back. I'd probably drop Wilson or Andrews.

Guess I'll be looking for some WRs after both D Adams and Evans are out for awhile.

Edit: Seems Evan's might still play with an Achilles injury? Not sure I believe that after missing time last weekend

glad to have the Lions and Reichard returning to action this week

it's time for an uncomfortable conversation about Aubrey...

currently K22 in total scoring...yikes

is it time to move on? Cowboys offense is wildly inconsistent

the likes of Boswell, Bates, Gay, et al...are on the waiver wire

yeah; i'm still starting Aubrey every week waiting for the cowboys to do stuff.


I'm about to be done-zo with Odunze, too.

Looking for a couple of flex options at WR and debating between:

Kendrick Bourne (Likely Cardinals W2 with Marvin Harrison gone)
Omar Cooper Jr. (Jets needing a WR2)
Jahan Dotson (Likely Falcons WR2)
Demario Douglas (Hot hand)
Jaylin Noel (Hot hand but Marvin Harrison added to roster)

am i crazy for canceling my waiver claim for Kyler- let the Trevor Lawrence owner claim him. If i wake up and he didn't, I can grab Kyler as a FA. ..because I also see the possibility of the Burrow owner dropping his second QB, Tyler Shough, since Burrow is past his bye now, though Shough has a tough matchup with PIT.. and there's a team out there with 3 QBs rostered - he's getting Lamar back and now getting Bryce Young past his bye- he might drop his third QB, Cousins.. so my FA options might be just fine without blowing my waiver priority this week for Kyler. if none of those things happen, I just have to grab Brissett, Watson, or Geno or maybe even JJ McCarthy @HOU if he's declared the starter.

i obviously can't just replace Josh Allen's points this week, but luckily my opponent is in a world of hurt. He's got Trever Lawrence and Parker Washington and his kicker on bye, and lost Devante Adams and his RB2 is Skattebo.

I like Bourne for possible ROS usability. I like Omar Cooper Jr the best for right now, but I don't know what happens there when Addonai Mitchell returns.

Is our league the only one where Germie Bernard is available? Wife is putting in a claim for him. She also has Josh Allen on bye, but thinking about not claiming Kyler and just seeing what it looks like in the morning.

Bernard is not available in my league

I was going to post the same thing. Not only has the offense regressed from last year, Aubrey has already missed a XP and 3 FGs (all from 50+). Aubrey is currently on track to miss more FGs than last year on fewer attempts.

I am not going to use waivers to make a change, but after waivers have passed this week, I'm seriously considering making a swap, especially since I am in a 10 team league so there are plenty of kickers available. It will still be hard to pull the plug given that we all know what he is capable of when things are going well for the Cowboys.

Starting to wonder the same. I actually targeted him as a volume kicker on a high scoring team with a week 14 bye. Perfect scenario right?

I'm putting in a FAAB bid for Omar Cooper but Jordan Addison is sitting out there on the wire unclaimed. Would any of y'all prioritize Addison over Cooper? I just don't think Kyler uses him as a priority target

Should I drop Travis Etienne and put Davonte Adams in the IR slot? Adam's expected to be out 6-8 wks. New at the stuff. Or keep Etienne in the IR slot since he could play 11/8. Or just drop Adams altogether and hope to maybe pick him up later?

Dp

I wouldn't drop Etienne, he's eligible to return from IR week 9 and I think he'll be a mid-range RB2 once he gets back. What does your roster look like?

I'd probably drop Adams at this point if its a 6-8 week injury. That will basically be fantasy football playoffs and he hasn't been good when Nacua is on the field

I'm keeping Adams. There is always a high possibility that Nacua will get hurt, which boosts Adam's targets

In an 8 or 10 team league, I can see maybe dropping Etienne if you're stacked at RB. I can't see a world in any 12 team league that Etienne gets dropped. If anything, try to make a trade and get something for him.

People able to keep Adams in IR slot should do so. He could come back before FF playoffs and be a league winner.

Dropped the ball on subbing Saquon out in time last week which meant I didn't play RJ Harvey in time, who scored 11.6 points which meant I lost by 8.22 points. A win would have moved me into 2nd place in a highly competitive 12 team league. Now I am in 3-3 cohort with 6 other teams going against the only undefeated team in our league.

I drafted both Herbret and McConkey so anchored my performances early. I am being aggressive on the waiver wire this week - picked up Kyler to play over Cousins, swapped Boswell in for Meyers, streaming Titans D/ST

***Sharing session over***

Non-PPR. Pick 3 - need 1 RB, 1 TE, 1 Flex

Saquon vs DAL (Monday night)
Ollie Gordon II @ NYJ (Sun 12 PM)
RJ Harvey @ ARI (Sun 3:05 PM)

Likely @ HOU
Loveland vs NE (Thursday night)

I hate to break it to you, but "highly competitive 12 team leagues" don't have people forgetting to sub out injured running backs.


Start Ollie G.

Fair. I missed subbing him out for RJ, who was playing Thursday - not completely. I was left with thin waiver options at that point - played Spears from Tenn who was near zero points lol

I have Ollie in the flex currently. I am thinking Saquon will be out again and not very effective if he does play. So will move Ollie to RB2.

For the flex - Loveland, Harvey, Saquon, Downs, Dowdle?

Loveland

Trade opportunity:

Who would do this trade

Team 1
Gibbs
Michael Wilson

Team 2
Ceedee
Jeanty

Full point PPR, standard roster

I've got my 2 QBS - Drake Maye and Caleb Williams matched up against each other Thursday night. Maye has thrown 10 TDs in the past 3 weeks and is on a great heater. Williams looked great throwing the ball in his first game back but barely ran.

In a non PPR it's Gordon IF Saquon doesn't go. Then Likely and Loveland
