Really depends how Cleveland approaches their draft. I'd cash out as I think next year they'll be more of a committee approach but really it's a crap shoot

Proposed trade for Kittle, who can be kept for one year at 80% of ESPN.

Time to cash in on Ford or is he a long-term guy?

Cash in if you can, he's pedestrian. Outside of that one long run he ripped off against Pittsburgh, dude has taken his other 49 carries for 117 yards at 2.38 YPC. Pierre Strong is going to take that backfield eventually IMO.

That is kind of where I'm at and why I made the trade.

I do think that pass-catching backs have some value, but yeah, he can't keep a rushing baseline. He's going to struggle against SF with PJ Walker and his stock may drop even lower. I have a claim in for Strong already, which would be sweet.

I really **** hate being an Ekeler owner.

Escaped by that final extra point Vicker hit to win 125.16-124.78. What a dumpster fire of a week, scores down across the board.

Man... who do I flex between Zach Evans / Michael Pittman / Kareem Hunt / Jaylen Warren? I haven't been this torn in a while. Evans is terrifying with a high ceiling, Pittman is scary despite likely double-digit targets. Hunt and Warren, do they get enough work? HALP!

Every single Thursday I face at least one player who has been underperforming all year that goes off.

Week 2 -Swift
Week 3-Deebo
Week 4-David Montgomery
Week 5-Justin Fields/DJ Moore
Week 6-ok, finally one week without it
Week 7-Etienne

Eh, Swift, Monty, and Etienne are killing on the year so I dont find them to be underperforming at all. I mean Etienne is 3rd overall in PPR.

And this is from someone who flipped for Swift before week 2 and turned him into Jacobs on what equates to a Flowers, Kirk swap for Jacobs. That looks yike right meow knowing Swift is the guy who looks like the better option moving forward.

Luckily, Kamara went off for me and Olave was solid enough. Think I'll just play it safe and go with Pitty's reasonably high floor.

Etienne 3 weeks in a row with 2 tds

So many dart throw RBs out there on the waiver wire this week. Kareem Hunt, Latavious Murrray, Myles Gaskin, Zach Evans, Keontay Ingram, Darrell Henderson.

Currently agonizing over Michael Mayer or Jonnu Smith at TE and Rashee Rice or Wan'Dale Robinson in my flex.

I reluctantly drafted D Watson as my 1st Qb and then picked up Love late in the draft.

Thankfully, I scooped up Minshew a week ago. This is my 2nd worst fantasy team in 25 yrs.

Enough is enough. Ekeler was a big reason why I won my league last year, but this season has been ridiculous. I know his schedule gets really juicy next week, but he is not being utilized properly or might even be dealing with his injury lingering. I struck a deal-- Ekeler+Pittman for Diggs+Waddle.

Don't blame you at all. Every year I have avoided him because I believed he was overrated.....this year I was at the end of the first round and he was still there so I took him. I definitely regret it so far.

Ekler has more lows then any other tier 1 player in FF. Can be an amazing player but for where u got to take him just a lil too much of feast or famine it seems.

For him it has always been the *kinds* of touches he gets. Last year with Allen out he was getting run-game touches AND an insane volume of checkdowns in the passing game, where he is truly elite-- with the ball in space. IDK what the **** Staley and that staff is doing, they are giving him poor quality touches, putting him in bad spots. Relieved to be able to abort. Now I have the Allen to Diggs connection and hope to flip Waddle or Olave for another Top-20ish RB.

All I know is every week I am facing at least 1-3 guys who are having their best game of the season on that exact date.

I am actually lucky to be 4-3 after this week.

I encounter this phenomenon every single season. 0-5? Come face me for your first win of the season.

Ironically I am the only team to beat the top two guys who are both about to be 6-1, but I lost to the two bottom teams who are about to be 2-5 and 1-6. Dude drafted DJ Moore/Justin Fields and literally has been getting his butt kicked every week then faces me and they score three TDs on TNF.

Basically, if you have a guy on TNF against me then play him.
