Yeah hilton is currently a receiving target machine. 7th in the league with 59 targets (basically 10 per game). I don't see that changing as Wayne has lost a step and Hicks is also a shell of himself. He'll continue being their #1. Once megaton is right you'll have one of the best flex players in your league. But Ty is a small player and not much of a redzone target so his non-ppr value is lower.
I'd object to that. Without Calvin Johnson, Golden Tate should no doubt get the bulk of the receiving work. Not to mention it'll be against a under-performing New Orleans defense. I know Torrey scored twice last week, but he still had some drops and only got 5 targets on the game. I don't think he'll have a terrible game necessarily, but unless they force him some red zone throws, I just don't know if he's going to be viable, as opposed to Golden Tate who'll get a ton of targets all over the field.
For those of us streaming Defenses would you start Washington's D/ST against the Titans at home or the Cowboys D/ST at home against the Giants? Those are the two best options out there.
I think I'd go Kelce. Looks like Jimmy Graham may play, but not start. Should I put him in over Dwayne Allen even if he has just a limited roll?
I'd play Washington, Titans are starting Whitehurst. Pick one WR and a Flex: Keenan, Davante Adams, Sammy Watkins, Steven Jackson, Storm Johnson?
I'm in the same predicament I traded for Jordan Reed this week thinking Graham was going to be out for a couple of weeks. I have Graham on my bench and plan on leaving him there.
Another game, another TD for Kelvin Benjamin. He's leading all rookies in receiving yards and TDs. 5 TDs in 7 games, not bad for a rookie. Where's Wecko?
With AP and Montee Ball both going down for me, I'm somehow now plentiful at the RB position. I have Ball, Forte, Hillman, Sankey, McKinnon, and Bryce Brown going forward. Which ones are for real ROS and which ones should I look to move? I'm afraid Ball coming back will just make both Ball and Hillman unstartable, as it will turn Denver into a full-out RBBC.
With the way Hillman has been performing I think he takes Ball's starting job and gets a majority of the touches. I'm up by 12.1 in one league but my opponent still has Antonio Brown playing tonight. Hoping the Texans run the hell out of the ball and control the clock.
Wilson put up 37.1 and Cam put up 14.3 yesterday. Oliver didn't produce as well but Hillman went off and should be the starting back for the rest of the year. Just saying.
Since you're still upset that your trade was spoken of poorly, I'll say this for the 3rd and final time. The players you got were decent, but the reason the trade was viewed poorly by others (including myself), was because you didn't get what you probably could've gotten for Cam. If Hillman goes on to be a beast and Cam goes on to play like crap, that still won't change this fact. At the time of the trade, you didn't get full value. Now, if you wanna say that you looked into the future, and this is why you gave up what you gave up, then fine. But in the grand scheme of fantasy sports and selling high vs selling low; you sold low on Cam Newton after his season high. That's all I'm saying.
Alright I'll agree with you that I probably could have got more for Cam but there wasn't a huge market out there for him to begin with. I also just wanted to get rid of him and didn't feel like being a tough negotiator and drawing out the trade process another week (because I had a feeling Cam probably just had his highest scoring week of the season). I also traded Fred Jackson for Andre Johnson and Jordan Reed last week. Probably could have gotten more for him too.
I understand why you did what you did, and don't blame you one bit for doing it, I just thought I would kindly offer my opinion on the trade when you asked. As for the other trade, in my personal opinion, I felt that was a very good trade. Depending on your roster, You got a solid TE1 (when healthy) and an above average receiver (plus he's a Texan...that's worth extra points).
Thanks man. Yeah it helps that Jackson got hurt too this week. I have Jimmy Graham as my TE1 but he's been hurt recently so I needed a reserve TE (which worked out decently yesterday). Just worried about that QB situation in Washington now.
I was definitely wrong there. Brees was able to carve out a nice game despite matchup. Kaepernick was bull**** against Denver, but luckily my result was academic by then.
