That's a fine trade IMO. I'd much rather have Martin on my bench waiting to return than have a brain aneurysm every week trying to figure out if Hill will be useless or not.

risk Eifert today or go with Ertz? Eifert is active, but probably limited. Ertz has been a disappointment so far and has to play the Vikings D today ...

For those watching Vikings-Eagles and curious: The last time two starting quarterbacks going head-to-head both finished a game with negative fantasy points was Dec. 3, 2006, when the Vikings' Brad Johnson (minus-6) and Bears' Rex Grossman (minus-5) did so. In that game, so did Vikings backup Tarvaris Jackson (minus-1). At the half, Sam Bradford has minus-3 and Carson Wentz minus-2.

(wenzt has since moved into + territory...but still)

OBJ is just a killer. He's too good to bench because he could put up big points every week, but then he's just been so bad that you would be better without him! I should've taken Julio...

lol, are you playing alone in your league? pick up/drop players whenever you can?
After his last week's performance, no way he should've been available in any league.

It's a 12-team league. I don't understand why he was available.

Half of my roster is Cowboys, I needed a quick jam. Zeke Elliott and Jay Ajayi will be a killer RB tandem going forward.

201 would have been good for about $100 in the milly maker.

had to bench Montgomery last second yesterday, now need to decide between Cordarelle Patterson and Adam Thielen to flex tonight. If anyone would have better information than Yahoo I'd appreciate it

Horrible loss for me this week (unless I can get a stat adjustment in my favour.) I was 8th place playing the 9th place team, we were tied, and I was beat 168.22 to 166.88. It was so frustrating watching the Cowboys game last night and not seeing Beasley get the ball until the 4th quarter at which point it was too late to get big points.

I'm in a league where we get 3 waiver picks all season...and my RBs have been Jamaal Charles, Spencer Ware, Eddie Lacy, CJ Anderson, Doug Martin, Jaquizz Rogers and Latavious Murray (who I traded away)

I've been playing RB Russian roulette with just Gurley and Murray healthy for a while and it's starting to scare me. Even more so with Murray having a bit of a toe issue.

Wondering if its finally time to burn my #2 waiver I've been sitting on for any of the below RB. Would love to add a guy who I can hang onto for a while. Wouldn't mind adding two to be honest.

Tim Hightower - NO
Charcandrick West - KC
Rashad Jennings - NYG
Bilal Powell - NYJ
Antone Smith - TB
Peyton Barber - TB

I'm thinking West because it seems he's the best bet for this week and also because I think I can make a trade with the Charles/Ware owner. Thinking of putting a backup claim in for Hightower as well, but a little more apprehensive burning a waiver there since Ingram was just a benching instead of an injury.


My team (12 teamer, standard PPR)
QB(1): Brees ... Mariota
RB(2): Gurley, D. MurrayQ ... Ja. RogersQ, AbdullahIR
WR(2): BrownQ, Cooks ... Tate, ColemanQ, Crowder
TE(1): Pitta ... Doyle
W/R/T(1): been starting Tate
K(1): Catanzaro
Def(1): KC ... Philly

Lucky that some guys in my 12 team league have released injured quality players that I could pick up as FAs. Got Eifert and Ebron a couple of weeks ago, then got Corey Coleman today. As someone who's lost Sammy Watkins, Eric Decker ans Shane Vereen, suffered from injuries to Doug Martin and Jonathan Stewart, drafted a bust in Zach Ertz and wasted a 1st rounder on DeAndre Hopkins, this is obviously awesome.

QB: Derek Carr, Blake Bortles
RB: Jonathan Stewart, Isaiah Crowell, Doug Martin
WR: DeAndre Hopkins, Jeremy Maclin, Pierre Garcon, Michael Thomas, Mohamed Sanu, Cole Beasley, Corey Coleman
TE: Tyler Eifert, Eric Ebron
D/ST: Raiders
K: Dan Bailey

Sitting at 5-3 now. Lineup is very WR heavy since the available RBs are poo. Still hope to trade for one, but no luck so far.

Yeah, I basically came back from the dead three weeks ago. Was sitting at 1-4 and then swung a trade for Jonathan Stewart and Jordan Matthews, grabbed Ajayi off of waivers, had Gronk finally get healthy, and kept riding Ware in the face of all the impending "Jamaal Charles returning" headlines. Sitting at 4-4 now with a pretty solid lineup.

QB: Rodgers, Wentz
RB: Ware, Stewart, Ajayi, Charcandrick West, Dion Lewis (IR)
WR: Thomas, Cooks, Crabtree, Matthews, Crowder, Britt
TE: Gronk, Ebron
D/ST: San Diego
K: Lutz
