Who are the good adds after week 1?

Redskins backfield is a mess, not sure what they're seeing in Matt Jones. I picked up Rob Kelley in our draft, hoping to see him be active next week.

Who else added Marshawn Lynch?

Bar-Down · 09-13-2016, 12:20 PM

I also added Rob Kelley. He didn't see the field at all in week 1 though.

Not a whole lot to pick up after the first week. Any thoughts on Jamaal Charles? is he gonna play this year?

TheScorpion · 09-13-2016, 12:27 PM

I just added Jeremy Kerley.

I dropped Ware about a week ago. Doh!

I'm thinking of adding Will Fuller to battle Tate for my flex behind Brown and Cooks.

Also love the Lynch idea!

I'm trying to pickup Lynch, but I think I'm 5th out of 12 on waiver priority, so not sure if he'll still be available.

Annoying because it's dynasty, and I just dropped him in the off-season when he announced retirement. Between him retiring, Dion Lewis out to injury, and Le'Veon Bell suspended, I have/had some pretty potent RBs inactive.

Charles will play eventually. With guys like Ware and West in the backfield there's no need to rush him back. I think he will see a somewhat reduced role, but one thing about the West coast offences, is that the running backs still get a lot of touches in the passing game. So I think he'd be worth stashing on a bench.

Add Barnidge if looking for TE help. Got 0 points with RG3 under center, but with McCown back he should do well again

Definitely add Fuller if you can. That's a helluva receiving core. Did no one else show up to the draft?

I hopped off the lynch idea. Apparently ex-teammates say he's not coming back even if he does not sure where he's gong to play and if he'll even be in game shape.

Seconded. McCown will go to Barnridge all day now.

Powerplay Quarterback

What do you guys think of this deal?
This is for Yahoo Fantasy.

Todd Gurley RB
Stefon Diggs WR
Phillips Rivers QB
For
Jordy Nelson WR
Cam Newton QB

I would have to drop another player. My other QB is big Ben.I have Johnson from Ari.

Da_Chief · 09-14-2016, 05:17 PM

I like Gurley but Rams are some kind of awful. This is a receivers league now, Nelson is an elite receiver with an elite QB. Diggs is decent with no QB.

Newton has multiple receivers while Rivers just lost his top weapon.

Gurley/Diggs/Rivers are good players but all are in awful offences right now. Wheres Nelson and Newton are elite players in top offences.

I'm on Nelson/Newton side.

rubecube · 09-14-2016, 05:25 PM

I think there's a very real possibility that Diggs outscores Nelson by the end of the season but that's just me. I'd also argue that running a Big Ben/Rivers plug and play schedule probably doesn't lose you a tonne of points in comparison to Newton. I guess the big question is, who are your other WRs?

Da_Chief · 09-14-2016, 05:32 PM

I just can't see Diggs outscoring Nelson with Bradford/Hill at the helm.

You don't need 2 elite QBs, I'd try to trade one of them for a QB starved team for another position though.

Well I'm also thinking there's a reasonable chance that Nelson gets hurt again. I don't know.It really depends on the rest of his team. If he's deep at WR and thin at RB, then this trade makes sense.

Looking for opinions on starting QBs. Who would you start this week?

Newton against SF or Brees against the Giants?

Newton is my #1, but Brees had a huge game last week against the Raiders, and he had a huge game last time he played the Giants.

Start Brees.

Da_Chief · 09-14-2016, 08:39 PM

Basically start Brees every week, with that defence they'll need to air it out to keep up. He's the best when it comes to gun slinging duel.

CofR · 09-14-2016, 08:42 PM

Ya, I'd start Brees for sure.. That 49ers D is bad, but I would still trust Brees more

Hockey · 09-15-2016, 12:05 AM

How did you get Brees and Newton on your team in the first place?

Picked up Newton in the middle of the first run on QBs and then Brees later. Guys were giving me the gears for picking Brees but I thought he'd be a good insurance policy or allow me to trade a QB later. I did the same thing last year with Brady and rode him to the final!
