    I would wait a week after thinking about it.
    Deandre Hopkins is set to have a bad week against the Vikings.
    He may be someone to target with a buy low strategy after having 3 poor games in a row.

    Baldwin owner rejected both trade offers (Blount and Wallace for Baldwin and West, then Baldwin and Washington). No counter or other response. That guys team is in shambles while the guy with Fitzgerald has a really strong team.

    Net net is I am agreeing to Blount and Fitzgerald. I drafted Blount in the 9th round, and Fitz was drafted in the 6th, so I am getting some value as long as Fitz doesn't get hurt or tires as the season goes on.

    You have to give to get sometimes.

    There are many trades that you pull off that you can use the name more than the value.

    Hence Aaron Rodgers this year.

    Alright fellas, I am running my sister-in-law's squad as she is in a league with some guys from her work. I just had her counter an offer and it got accepted. She receives Jerrick McKinnon and Phillip Rivers and trades away Carlos Hyde. She has Andrew Luck as her only QB. Rivers has some tasty matchups in the playoffs. She is 4-0 right now. I feel like Hyde and the San Fran offense is going to get exposed more and more as the season goes on and won't be any better with Kap under center. I like Hyde but feel like asking for consistent production the rest of the season is too much.

    This is a PPR league and I really like McKinnon to get 15-20 touches in a pretty solid offense. They are using him properly although he will have his dud games, his floor is a little higher even if he doesn't score as many touchdowns since it is Full PPR. I view Hyde and McKinnon as equals in PPR so Rivers and his tasty matchups are just icing on the cake IMO.

    Her other running backs are Lacy, Stewart, Foster, Dixon I believe. She only needs to start 2 every week. I personally think it is a solid trade since 49ers defense is about to be in a world of hurt without Bowman now too. All teams need to do against 49ers is stop the run and they win.

    So what do you think? Did she win the trade? Only respond if you have actually seen McKinnon and Hyde play this season.

    I'd take that using Brown in a heartbeat if it's 4pt passing TDs.

    Raiders insider fantasy alert: Latavius Murray will not play vs San Diego this week. The sexy plug-in RB will be DeAndre Washington. Jalen Richard will alternate snaps. I would expect probably something like a 60/40 split in favor of Washington.

    Both backs are capable of some explosive plays either running or receiving. Unfortunately for standard league players, goalline carries will probably go to FB Jamize Olawale, but if you're in a pinch in a PPR league this week and the waiver wire is destitute, then Jalen Richard could prove valuable.

    San Diego's defense was dealt another body-blow as their stud CB Jason Verrett is now gone for the season.

    That's some WILD stuff, bruh. You like a Raiders back or West or Dixon in PPR?

    In a PPR I'd rank them

    1.) Washington
    2.) West
    3.) Richard
    4.) Dixon

    Still seeing some people doubting that Dixon will get a chunk of usage right off the bat.

    I don't like that trade at all. Carlos Hyde was a heavy load back and scored TD's. You were 4-0 with probably a top 3 overall scoring team.

    Should not have mixed it up like that.

    You didn't win the trade for her. Hyde has the most value in this scenario. Cake schedule down the stretch

    Unfortunately the trade won't be approved until Saturday, so the previous owner gets both Fitz and Blount points this weekend. Add to that, the team I am playing has David Johnson.

    Should have made the trade last week. Oh well, hopefully good things to come.

    Btw have I said I hate Thursday night football. Down 30+ already

    that's a bummer. in my league if the trade doesn't get vetoed our commissioner will push the trade through.
