Whatever I choose...he will lay an egg

And yet I'm still about to win because my opponent has Eddie Lacy, Keenan Allen, Mike Evans and Zach Ertz.

Why do you have a bye in a 10 team league?

[devo22]

no idea, honestly. Probably screwed up somehow when we created the league.

[InBurkeWeTrust]

Started 0-2 so I made some changes to my team:

Trade away: cooks, Hyde, moncrief for Newton, demaryius
Right after: Brady, dez for tannehill, Keenan and duke

Upgrade to my WR. I just don't think cooks has it

[DropIt]

yikes.

little early on that panic button. Cooks has been disappointing, but its because of the system and early struggles from Brees. Im sure he will come around

[Pagal4321]

You want to talk about panic button, someone dropped Mike Evans in my 16 team league. I'm just hoping and praying that no one saw that....

Wow, that's beyond idiotic.

Palmer...still lost though

Bradford is stapled to the bench until further notice

[Izzle]

Need to pick a QB.

Alex Smith @ GB
Sam Bradford @ NYJ

Choosing between a rock and a hard place :S

[shermanator]

Would anyone here do the following?

I get: Sam Bradford, Mike Evans, Danny Woodhead
I give: Carson Palmer, Eddie Royal, Justin Forsett


My team is as follows (12 team standard league):

QB: Matt Ryan
WR1: Calvin Johnson
WR2: Emmanuel Sanders
WR3: Donte Moncrief
RB1: Eddie Lacy / James Starks (depending on health)
RB2: Justin Forsett
TE: Ladarius Green
FLEX: Chris Johnson
K: Mason Crosby
DEF: Buffalo
BEN: Carson Palmer
BEN: Eddie Lacy / James Starks (depending on health)
BEN: Michael Floyd
BEN: Eddie Royal
BEN: Julius Thomas

I think the move makes me garbage at RB if Lacy is out long term, but if he's back this week, could be okay.

Jets shut down Luck so Bradford would be a cake walk. I'd go with Smith as that matchup is more likely to put up some decent number of points.

I wouldn't do it. You're bit weak at RB anyways with Lacy out so removing Forcett would hurt even more. Moncrief is a decent 3rd receiver.

Did you get Starks (handicap Lacy) by default or managed to get him through waivers?

I got Starks through Waivers.

I don't see any way that helps you. I think Moncrief is the real deal and I actually don't see Evans as a big upgrade.

[shermanator]

Haven't been a big fan of the Ravens running game this year to date, and I am not sure if Forsett breaks out.

My angle here is that Johnson won't be the #1 in Arizona much longer, so he would be dropped in a few weeks anyways, and Evans takes the Flex spot. Woodhead takes my RB2 as I like him in goal line opportunities. Lacy/Starks hold down the RB1.

Moncrief doesn't factor into this decision at all, and with Megatron, Sanders, Moncrief and Evans all in the lineup I think I can get over the loss of any additional points Forsett would have brought.

Lineup would look like this after:

QB: Matt Ryan
WR1: Calvin Johnson
WR2: Emmanuel Sanders
WR3: Donte Moncrief
RB1: Eddie Lacy / James Starks (depending on health)
RB2: Danny Woodhead
TE: Ladarius Green
FLEX: Mike Evans
K: Mason Crosby
DEF: Buffalo
BEN: Sam Bradford
BEN: Eddie Lacy / James Starks (depending on health)
BEN: Michael Floyd
BEN: Chris Johnson
BEN: Julius Thomas

Weak at RB but pretty good at WR I would argue.

At first I thought I wouldn't do it...but you do receive more upside...so I changed my mind.

Also, I do believe in Chip Kelley and bailing on Eddy Royal and Forsett is A-Ok

[Bar-Down]

What are your guys' thoughts on this trade?

I Get: Carlos Hyde, Sammy Watkins

I Trade away: AJ Green, Bishop Sankey

My roster right now (16 team league):
Luck
Sankey, Arian Foster, Ronnie Hillman, Tre Mason, Joique Bell
B Cooks, AJ Green, Stevie Johnson, Crabtree
Vernon Davis, Jordan Reed

I have to accept right? I need another legit RB that will get most of the touches in Hyde…

[Da_Chief]

Good trade for you. Hyde will out produce Sankey big time and the drop from AJ to Sammy shouldn't be that bad.

The question is how did you manage to draft that bad of a team? No offence.

Haha yeah I didn't have a good draft. I was banking on Foster being back early and Cooks having a breakout year, which he hasn't had yet… Now I am in trade mode to save my season lol.

Stevie Johnson has been a nice surprise so far though.

The drop from AJ to Sammy isn't that bad? You crazy.

Depending on the league scoring I'd say 30-40 point difference at the of the year?

Hyde and Sankey could be over a 100 point difference. At least in my opinion.
