anyone in here has Jordan Matthews and playing on ESPN. ESPN is not generating his points. Edit: nvm, I'm r****ded. Was looking at week 3 stats for some reason
Gosh, and now Pryor is playing QB. And my opponent is beating me with two players (David Johnson and his backup QB Matt Stafford). He didn't even play a defense. Kill me now.
Need advice: How do you win a matchup? I'm winless this season and will lose today. The year from hell.
What's your roster and league type? I had a mediocre draft, then lost my WR1 to injury in the first game but picked up some decent players via free agency and one through a trade.
With all my stressing about Miller and Pryor, looks like I should have started Tyrell Williams. TY Hilton and Adam Vinatieri (23 points each) are keeping me close but everyone else (Lamar Miller, Blount, Reed, PITT) were disappointments. Next week I get Larry Fitzgerald (for Blount) and SEA defense joining the team which hopefully adds consistency. More and more worried about Miller.
Should I trade away David Johnson, Melvin Gordon, and Kelvin Benjamin/Larry Fitzgerald FOR Leveon Bell and Deandre Hopkins?? It's a 10 team league (2 WR, 2 RB, 1 Flex) and 0.5 ppr. Here's the RBs and WRs currently on my team: RB: David Johnson, Melvin Gordon, Jordan Howard, T. Rawls WR: Larry Fitz, Kelvin Benjamin, Alshon Jeffrey, Steve Smith, John Brown Thanks for the help in advance!
All I needed was 15 combined points from Jordy Nelson and Odell Beckham and they can't even give me that.
I'm 1.3 points ahead with everyone done in my matchup except Cameron Brate tomorrow. I know it's extremely paranoid but should I bench him in case of an unlikely negative outing by a TE? It's a half PPR so it's even more unlikely that he does anything negative.
After yesterday's game, you would want to trade consistent scorers like Benjamin or Fitzgerald for Hopkins (considering the DJ for Bell as more or less a wash)? And while Gordon is expected to have smaller numbers through the season, he got you 12.7 pts yesterday (standard). I am probably overreacting to yesterday's poor Texan performance and before yesterday I probably would be all in favor to do a Gordon + WR for Hopkins type trade, but the combination of poor offensive playcalling, poor OL performance, poor QBing, and the emergence of Fuller has sure cut down on Hopkins targets and production.
General questions that don't necessarily apply to me. Ty Williams or Coates long-term? Is it time to sell Alshon?
I have and like Tyrell Williams (though dummy me, I sat him). The challenge with SD receivers is that there are three and Rivers seems to go with the hot hand, last week Inman, this week Williams, while Benjamin is seen as the #1 receiver. Still, lots of passes to go around, and Williams is big and fast so he will get his share. Lots of targets. Coates is very fast, and had his best game this past week. He also is like Fuller in that he drops passes. Since defenses have to focus on Brown and Bell. All in all, I'd go with Williams. I am not a big jeffreys fan. He is big and fast, and when he is on the field he is an impact WR. Seems to get hurt. And this season hasn't had a TD, and only one 100 yard game. Seems Hoyer doesn't look for him as much as Cutler.
I'm glad I didn't pick Lamar Miller this year. I would have traded him after game 1 seeing how he's played. Guy is on par with Ed Reed in regards to Rick Smith signings right now. He may have a decent number of yards, but has no vision and this offensive line is not one to write home about.
Made a trade offer this AM: my Tyrell Williams and Spencer Ware for his Doug Martin (he also owns Charles). Does this seem like a good offer, or will I need to improve it (Shepard, Pryor)? With the extra roster space I'd grab Kerley, Coates or maybe take another flyer on a RB like Booker. Trying to avoid DEN this week... put in waiver request for Cameron Artis Payne (vs NO). I have been watching him the last two weeks, but last night's game probably caught owner attention. I am #8 on waiver list so likely someone higher puts in a claim, if not spares me from waking up at 1:50 am to add him as FA. He would lilkely be a one game play as Stewart returns, but gets me away from Gordon vs DEN. Also starting Alex Smith (vs OAK) instead of Rivers and Pryor (vs TEN) instead of Williams.
It's a good offer but if anyone is looking down the road on TB's schedule, Martin is an absolute must hold. Well unless the guy you're trading with is rock bottom in the standings. I'm in Waiver position 9 out of 10. I want to get Coates/Kerley/CAP but I'm not feeling too optimistic about my chances. Screw being on 2nd in the league right now! Best of luck!
Thanks The Stig. The Martin owner is 1-4 and has all sorts of holes. Though that doesn't mean much... a number in the league seem to have checked out. I am waiver #8, and changed my claim to Coates. I can play him this week as flex then re-look at my WRs next week. Maybe pick up Booker as a potential RB play down the road (maybe drop Dixon as my RB stash).
Well its come to this: traded Will Fuller for Arian Foster in PPR. Have now lost Langford and Sims as my RB2s.
Crazy year for RBs. Who would have thought the buzz would be Jordan Howard, Cameron Artis Payne and Jaquizz Rogers. I replaced my waiver request for CAP with a waiver request for Sammie Coates. Last week that would have been a simple FA signing. This week? I probably have no chance to land him. Questions: should I be patient with holding Ware and Dixon, or look for players that could play now, or add Booker while still available?
Surprisingly, I now own Sammie Coates, as my #8 position waiver claim was successful. I was so sure I wouldn't get him with all the hype I was contemplating next choices (Kerley, Meredith, Hogan). I will immediately plug him in at Flex versus MIA. And all at the cost of dropping PIT (I picked SEA last week, and actually thought of sitting SEA to take advantage of MIA-PIT matchup, but would have dropped PIT anyway). He also now joins a really deep WR supply: Hilton, Fitzgerald, Pryor, Shepard,Tyrell Williams, Coates. And I need to start focusing on how I can improve my very shallow and weak RB supply: Miller, Gordon, Ware, Dixon, since realistically I only have two and a half payable RBs (and Ware's playing time falls to nothing soon unless Charles reinjures). So packaging two WRs other than Hilton and Fitzgerald makes sense. Any suggestions on realistic trade targets (CMike? Charles?). If these are shooting too high, just need one RB to fill in during byes, but it would be great to get someone to also replace RB1 or RB2 during bad matchups (ala Gordon vs DEN).
