    I believe the coach came out this week and basically said they are going to pretend like he never left. If that is the case, then Deangelo is a bench stash in case Bell gets hurt.

    you're looking at a multiple weeks absence with Dez. Don't count on him playing for a few weeks. probably won't have a chance at returning til after their bye week at the earliest

    OK, the owner with Larry Fitzgerald has come to me with a new trade offer. The weird thing is the initial Yahoo offer that showed on my phone looks different from the one that showed up on my laptop:

    One that showed up on phone: To me: Larry Fitzgerald and Phillip Dorsett. To him: LaGarrette Blount and Sterling Shepard
    One that then showed up on computer: To me: Fitzgerald To him: Blount and Shepard. And Yahoo says the other team would need to drop Dorsett

    So questions...
    1. Do I go back to other owner and ask if Dorsett is part of this trade or not?
    2. Do I require Dorsett as part of a counter offer response to the trade? Is Dorsett desired value?
    3. Do I go back and counter with Tyrell Williams instead of Shepard?
    4. Do I decline altogether?

    All advice really appreciated!

    Dorsett would have to be in it for me to consider it. Even then, I am not sure. I do think Dorsett has some big games ahead with moncrief hurt.

    So
    1. Absolutely
    2. Yes. Yes
    3. Yes
    4. Maybe

    Cincinnati a good stream option for this week? Had them in week 1 and they weren't all that.

    ESPN ranks them 4th this week. UPI has them 5th. Seems like a good choice if you still can choose them. I chose BAL this week.

    Found this:

    Hope he gets his life straightened out. But as someone that just added Tyrrelle Pryor Wednesday, I get a bit more value this year.

    So I am rejecting the my Blount and Shepard trade for his Fitzgerald. I will use Blount this weekend, and approach the Doug Baldwin owner next Monday for a Blount for Baldwin trade.

    Your advice only took a day to backfire.

    Of course it should when your argument deals with Josh Gordon actually playing in a real NFL game.

    Blount and Shep for Baldwin would be a good trade.

    You've got to be kidding here. Ok if it only takes less than a day to think you're somehow going to be correct When nothing has happened. I'll play it your way and repost every single week about freeman and Pryor. When I clearly said we'll see how they perform at seasons end. Just sit back and try to keep your mouth shut. My bet proposal was all I needed to figure out how serious you are trying to talk about fantasy football

    Thanks. Was going to start with Blount alone, then up it to include Tyrrell Williams if needed.

    I picked up Pryor and also own Corey Coleman so the Gordon news is favorable for me. But I still think Pryor is a bit overhyped based off what happened in one game.

    Did you see what AJ Green did to that shitshow Dolphins CB corps tonight? They are starting a guy who mostly played receiver in college.

    The flip side is the Browns are bad and so gameflow favors more passing volume when playing from behind.

    I still think Pryor plays second fiddle again when Coleman returns, but his arrow is definitely pointing up.

    I agree there is too much hype but I bought in and will start him this weekend. With the possibility of runs and passes it would seem hard to not get at least mid teens with the targets he gets. That said it won't be a surprise and defenses will scheme for him.

    I also bought into the Kenneth Dixon hype. Dropped Ivory for him.

    Could y'all rank for rest of season the following WRs: Larry Fitzgerald, Doug Baldwin, Emmannuel Sanders, Demaryius Thomas, Jarvis Landry for standard league format?
