I would have done the same. Worth the gamble since Connor could turn out to be a lottery ticket if the hold out lasts a long time. I know Miller got a lot of sleeper talk in the preseason, but its possible no one even picks him up until they see what he does for a few weeks.
For Hyde, I would wait it out this week and see what his role looks like. I don't like Barber's matchup this week but the volume will be there at least. So, I will rank them: Conner > Barber > Hyde. Bell looks like he isn't going to turn up and Conner has done a pretty good job covering for him last year on a limited basis.
I'm still having trouble picking out my Flex for the week. Currently, Jamaal Williams is in my lineup. My other options are: D.Henry, M.Goodwin, K.Cole, C.Carson, and T.Eifert Any suggestions? 10 Team Standard. Brieda is still in the FA pool and I'm tempted to snag him. I feel like most of my players aren't really droppable...yet. What to do?
Do you have two TEs? If so, drop Eifert and grab Breida. And you are in great shape if your Flex decisions are among Williams, Breida, Henry, Cole, Carson...
I do have two TEs. The two most injury prone TEs in the world in Reed and Eifert. I'm a bit concerned about letting Eifert go because I know Reed isn't going to last the season. Most of everyone in my league rostered a backup TE so I feel like I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel if I don't have a backup. Yeah, the Flex is hard to pick. Decisions decisions! Hell, I was thinking about moving Ajayi out of my RB2 to the bench and rolling Williams at RB2 and Henry in the Flex! Dunno what to do!
So I'm in a ppr league which records 5pts to both thrown and received TDs and 6pts for rushing TDs. Need some advice on QB. Currently my only QB is Derek Carr and I'm contemplating picking up a 2nd for my bench, I usually keep just one all year. Current free agent QB options are Dalton Mariota Prescott Smith Keenum Bortles Manning Tannehill Trubisky Bradford Tyrod Flacco Fitzpatrick I'm currently leaning dak or Bortles. Who would you guys pick up? Also need advice on who to drop out of the following bench players Corey Davis Jamison crowder Peyton barber Jonathan Wilkins Dj moore Michael Gallup Leaning Moore followed by Gallup. Also, @moestavern19 your the local Oakland expert. How does Carr look and hows the offense look? I'm some reason high on carr under Gruden and dont believe in marshawn being effective this year. Am I high or on to something? Thanks in advance guys. Will rep.
Well, Reed has a clean bill of heath, and wish I had thought more seriously (ended up with Burton and Walker in my two leagues). And you have a really deep team so another RB may not be playable anyway. But I'd still have to think that there are a number of playable TEs to stream (ASJ, Clay, Watson, Howard, Cooks, RSJ) and possible rookies like Giesicki and Goebert. My standard team has a short bench (5 player) so I can't think of rostering a backup TE.
I just grabbed Dalton to backup Ryan and to start this weekend since his matchup is so good. Bortles was another thought and his first few matchups are really good. Tyrod can run so he would be an option. Maybe stream until Winston is able to play?
Eifert is definitely droppable. hes nothing more than a bye week streamer. he wont even be playing complete full game snaps even if he plays per coach and couple that he'll get hurt eventually. not every week fantasy relevant
The Raiders are the last team you should be asking me about, I don't have enough objectivity to judge them properly. That is was 25 years of disappointment will do to you. After that Mack trade I am fully expecting them to be a complete shitshow 3-13 type season. I did think having Martavis Bryant would allow Amari Cooper to move to the slot where he is much better, but that didn't work out and the whole team is old as balls. I wouldn't be surprised if Gruden was setting Carr up to fail so he can unload him too. Personally, I don't think he's that great either.
Would you listen to trade offers on Bell? I was thinking about propositioning the guy in my league who has Bell for a trade here at some point (probably after a couple weeks) ..... would you consider two of the following four: Hyde, Mack, Barber and Conners? (If Conners ends up being a stud I might not even offer it and just roll with Conners)
Would any of you consider dropping John Ross for; Tyler Lockett, Kenny Golladay, Keelan Cole, or Josh Doctson? PPR. I know it's just my WR depth but I could use the help with my starting WR2 being Goodwin. I'm planning on packaging some of my RBs in the middle of the season for another good WR1.
yea, i'd take lockett. i think he's going to have a good year. also he's a good handcuff to baldwin since baldwin is going to have a nagging knee injury.
I know Cole has a lot of buzz being the new #1 WR at JAX. I drafted Lockett at the end of my draft because I thought he would have to have a big year this year and with Richardson leaving he is now now the WR2 at SEA. If Baldwin is has lingering issues then Locket is the WR. So it seems that Lockett may even have more upside since JAX isn't a passing team. Plus... Lockett is KR and PR, so the possibility of TDs that way.
Bell owner but got Conner - Full PPR league So 2 RBs and a Flex out of these 4: Ajayi Conner Burkhead Hogan JuJu Currently I have Burkhead and JuJu sitting
