Is it PPR or standard? I'd probably keep Kamara anyways. I believe Ingram is a UFA at the end of the year.

It's actually an auction league. After thinking on it I decided against it as Kamara is almost $50 cheaper.

Got another offer though and it's for sure for the future

Dalvin Cook($107)
Brandon LaFell($1)

For

DeMarco Murray($84)
Sterling Shepard($59)

You think Cook will be fine with his injury or should I be concerned

At first look my keepers next year would be

Mariota($18)
Corey Davis($144)
Cook($107)
Kamara($15)
Then probably Doctson($25) or Corey Coleman($50)

$500 budget gives me about $300 to spend at draft. If I don't take the deal I'd free up Cooks salary.

So as a Fuller owner I was freaked out by the Watson injury and the regression to the mean for his efficiency...so I traded for Fuller for Hogan...

Grade the trade guys...

[chemgear]

Eh? Chris Hogan, he's out for multiple weeks. Barely avoided season ending surgery?

Or do you mean Kevin Hogan?

[Fozzie_DeBear]

No Chris Hogan...he has the bye and I don't need him for a few weeks anyways.

OK trade. Floor is higher now. Hogan is a pretty consistent performer. Who knows with Fuller now. The injury cost you Fuller's upside. This manages the risk

Well I was sitting pretty in my keeper league, and looking like the favourite to run away with the championship but then another guy in the league, who was basically bubble team decided that this was his year and completely mortgaged the farm to get Gronk and Bell. So I turned around today and upped the ante by trading away Watson, Crabtree, a 4th and a 6th for Antonio Brown, a 9th, and a 12th.

Anyone have any thoughts on Dion Lewis/Doug Martin. Have to drop one wth an upcoming trade and j haven't watched much of either lately. Seems Lewis is starting to take over the starting role but with 4 back a cycling through its tough to trust him

[rubecube]

Martin has been a total bust the last two weeks but he's still the lead back in Tampa so it's hard to say.

[Skaloper]

Doug Martin's role is up the in air since Winston is now hurt. I'm not sure how much that changes the offence but based on last week it will mean less Doug Martin.

Running backs in New England I have learned to not trust but it appears that Dion Lewis is getting a bigger role in the offence going forward.

So, I just traded away Abdullah & Lockett for Emanual Sanders and Crowell. Thoughts?

[Hockey]

I can't decide if I take the risk and play Chris Godwin with Evans out or go with Crowder. Ultimately I'm 2-7 right now so playoffs are a long shot but it would be nice to win.

[Sylvanfan]

I was offered Melvin Gordon for Shady McCoy. League is 1 point PPR. I declined the offer but was really on the fence. Teams have similar remaining schedules. Shady's value is his pass catching. But I do wonder if the younger guy won't have a better second half. I expect McCoy to get less work as Buffalo craters in the second half.

[Hockey]

I wonder if that guy is worried about Ekeler cutting into Gordon's playing time.

Fantasy football kills me.
In a keeper league (took over team this year) with bad keepers and worse luck (injuries). Started the year 1-4, had Cook get hurt, so wrote off the season and traded Ingram for 2nd round pick. Had already beefed up keepers so now acquire picks for next year, right?
Ingram had 30 points for me in 4 games - he has 103 in the last 5 lol.
But I have now won 5 straight and have real shot at playoffs.
Have great receivers, but only have 2 healthy running backs on roster, Theo Riddick and Thomas Rawls. Ugh. I can't see how I might ride those 2 backs into the playoffs.
I hate NE backs, but Burkhead is available on waivers. Ekeler also there, and Williams. I have $37 left of the $100 FAAB started the year with

Any thoughts on how much I should waiver bid for any/all of the above?

[Hockey]

I just listened to the fantasy pros podcast today and they talked about those guys and how much you should bid. One guy said Burkhead is his #1 this week.

[brocoli]

So with Taylor being benched this week, is it worth it to ride Benjamin. New system with a new, inexperienced QB or better to go off with Emmanuel Sanders who is up against a tough CIN D this weekend?

[EldrickOnIce]

^ tough call. Bills have easy matchup ahead. I'm in a similar boat.
Picked up Burkhead and Perine, who will both start for me, but Taylor was supposed to be my go to guy with as easy a schedule as it gets coming up and only had one QB.
Can't imagine Peterman is the right call. On wire are Bortles, Keenum, Fitzpatrick, Dalton, and the other usual suspects.
I suppose Bortles is the right choice?

He is playing Cleveland so you can't go wrong with that
