I started Hunt, Gordon, and Darkwa at Flex. They totaled about 20 standard points. Mixon had 25.5. Lost by 60 plus. He had Goff, Kamara, Gronk, Ertz, Kupp, Matt Bryant, oh... Antonio Brown too. Somehow I crushed him week 1. Seems so long ago.
Damn, you ran into a buzzsaw. My teams are coming together at the right time. Although Coleman will prob take a backseat soon again. I drafted Gronk in the second or third round on about 5 teams so I hope he stays hot. If deshaun wouldn't have gotten hurt a few of my teams would be unstoppable.
Should I trade Tom Brady for LeSean McCoy? My current RBs suck after Ezekiel Elliott got suspended. I have Derrick Henry, Rod Smith, Jerrick McKinnon, and Doug Martin. My backup QB right now is Jared Goff. He's been playing better as the season goes on and I figure he could get me at least 18-22 points most weeks. That's all I need if McCoy could get me 10-15+ with the potential for way more.
Out of my options only Walker did anything really. I now have a 9.5 point lead in 1/2ppr. He has Tucker and Andre Ellington. There is a chance Ellington doesn’t play or do much. I picked up Woodhead just in case he would try to himself. Plus my RB’s Blow and he may be worth starting over Ajayi anyways.
Came so close to dropping Mixon a few times and almost traded him in a package deal for Bilal Powell. Still somehow managed to win by 10 this week with him and Marvin Jones benched who combined for 56 in PPR. Would anyone recommend starting Mixon vs Steelers on MNF? I’ve got arguably the strongest RB corp in my league with Gurley/ARI, Mcoy/NE, Mixon/PIT, Ingram/CAR, and Lewis/BUF. I’m leaning on benching Ingram after Kamara ran roughshod all over the Rams. I’m now tied for #1 in my division so it’s do or die.
I play fantasy through the NFL Fantasy app. In my league they allow 1 qb, 2 rbs, 2 wrs, 1 TE, and 2 flex(wr/rb), kicker and def. So I’ll usually play 4 of 5 of my backs since my receivers are my weak spot.
OK, so you can and should lay Ingram, McCoy, Gurley for sure. The only question really is Mixon or Lewis. I'd be tempted to go Lewis... better matchup, and less risk.
Anyone planning on taking a flyer on Aaron Rodgers for weeks 15-16? Or on Josh Gordon (assuming both still on waivers)?
you need to get there first. and if you're desperate thats really the only logic for josh gordon who hasnt played football in 2 years
He looked good in the pre-season. Yeah it's preseason but Cleveland already says they will use him heavily on Sunday. If you're already in the playoffs then I'd take a flyer on him this week and play him at flex to see how he does.
OK, a couple of more immediate questions (waivers tonight): Keep Orleans Darkwa, or drop for Isaiah Crowell or Mike Davis? Drop Devante Parker for Paul Richardson, Zay Jones, Marquis Goodwin, or Dede Westbrook?
I’m dropping Devante Parker for Josh Gordon but my waiver priority is 11/12 so I’m hopeful. Yes, you drop Parker for all those guys, he’s without a doubt been bust of the year, along with Jordan Reed.
Well, I have another WR to add to my drop list... along with dropping Orleans Darkwa, I can now drop Sterling Shepard. The Giants are a complete joke now...
