    I don't suggest trading for a te. I streamed Jared cook this past week.

    Oh for sure, I just don't think it's going to be against KC this week

    I ended up withdrawing offers. The guy came back with a Rudolph for my Coleman trade and I rejected that too. After naming West as a RB he'd do the trade for, he then tries to say how Rudolph is more valuable. I wished him luck with 80 year old Johnson (committee replaced by Ellington anyway) and Shane Vereen. I may trade West to one of the teams this guy will play the next few weeks, or cut him and add Foreman.

    I am still planning on starting Cousins... though I may cut West Saturday night and add Dalton if he is there or Watson. 40 yards QB run is the same as a passing TD? Run Deshaun run. :)

    oh, btw, I dropped Fleener and added Charles Clay, but I have a hunch Cook and Brate will be there too. Clay seems the safer play, the other two may score a TD though.

    Standard League, Question in bold

    Would you start GB v CHI or DET @ MIN?

    I can't really decide who I want in FA. I picked up Griffin this morning and then realize I don't really need him so I dropped him for Foreman as one of my lotto tickets. Conner and Foreman are my two lotto tickets. I'm tempted to drop James White for a QB since Matt Ryan is off next week. Is White droppable?

    GB is a sneaky looking play this week, but DET has been the highest scoring DST so far (though not versus the toughest offenses in the first two games). I'd take DET.

    Don't like White. Drop him. I too want to add Foreman as a upside RB. Another RB that I hear people talking about is Elijah McGuire, Jets.

    OK, since my West/Rudolph trade collapsed... is it too early to drop West for D'onta Foreman? Hate dropping him with OAK and CHI coming up for West.

    Don't drop West. Last week just a bad performance by the entire Ravens team.

    Thanks for the response!

    is this ppr? west is a TD dependent back. he doesnt get alot of yards or carriers. and buck allen seems to be the more valuable rb in balt.

    i grabbed foreman in a couple of my ppr leagues. he has good value. hes played much better then miller thus far

    No, I am in a non-PPR (standard) league. Was hoping he'd get a few "fall into the end zone" TDs. Instead of going upside RBs I went for short yardage types I guess. I have Fat Rob who seems a better chance of getting those type of TDs so West may be less necessary.

    Made a trade.

    I recieved Odell.
    I gave up Lamar Miller, Chris Hogan, and Jimmy Graham to a team that was starting scrubs in his RB, TE, and flex positions.

    I will now have Antonio Brown, Odell, Gurley and some filler in this 14 team PPR league. It might work.

    Nice trade, that's a pretty solid set of receivers. Hopefully Gurley will continue to get in the end zone but I don't expect him to go off the way he did against the Niners consistently.

    Wow, nice trade and how. Three sorta shaky players for at worst the third best WR in football.

    Continuing my rant about trades. So I approach another owner about a trade. His RBs: Shady, Gore, Riddick, Hill. His WRs are his strength (Cooper, Adams, Watkins, Thielen (actually, his real strength is QB with Rogers and Wentz). So I contact him and say "You are strong at WR and weak at RB, I am strong at RB and could use a WR (Benjamin was questionable). We should talk." and I suggest he look at my lineup and we should figure out a trade. He comes back... "Say, could we do a trade, your Alshon Jeffery for my Watkins or Riddick?"

    First, Jeffery is better than Watkins (ranked higher, higher trade value). Second, I don't need a mediocre RB like Riddick (I have Hunt, Gordon, Coleman, Kelley, and West... and the idea is me moving him a RB and me getting a WR). But he is from Chicago, and "likes Jeffery").

    Heck, i don't even think I'd trade Jeffery for Cooper, but they are at least reasonably close. It seems just be a lateral move. OAK has a brutal schedule coming up (BAL, LAC, KC, BUF then DEN, NYG, KC again.). But again, he was offering Watkins.

    Or at I wrong... Cooper is an upgrade and I say Jeffery and West for Cooper?

    btw, I decided to start Cousins (at KC, groan) and get rid of Big Ben (at BAL) to go with one QB. Today Cousins wife (who was due Sep 18) had to rush from practice to the hospital today. Couldn't she hold on until after Monday? Next week WAS in on bye, so I will be grabbing anything off waivers (currently Dalton, Goff, and Watson are the best on the wire). I was thinking possibly Watson this week but next week he faces KC. So maybe Dalton (CLE, BUF).

    I don't think Watson would be a bad fantasy pickup.

    I picked Watson up in a few leagues. He is trending up for sure.

    I would offer west and Jeffery for cooper and cross your fingers. Of course, I am not a fan of West but I know some people are.

    Which def would you stream this week?
    Philly against chargers
    Bucs vs giants
    Falcs vs bills

    Would you sell high on gurley right now or ride or die with through his tough upcoming schedule?
