Well if you start Cooks I think you could get 20 yards on 1 catch or 180 yards and 2 tds.

If you start Benjamin the floor is higher but the ceiling is lower. Looking for that huge risk/reward then go with Cooks who all year last year got me either 2 points or 35 points. If you want that steady 15 to 20 then go with Benjamin.

I don't think you could go wrong with either Cooks or Benjamin. They both probably have similar ceilings.

Steady 15 to 20 points? We're talking about Travis Benjamin, right?

Cooks is tied for 18th in targets, 7th in receptions, 4th in yards, 2nd in TDs. From what I'm seeing in my PPR league, 4th in points.

Both have favorable matchups, but Cooks is at home.

I love Benjamin, but I'm just failing to see how this is a discussion (for week 3). Maybe we need to talk about your other starting receivers.

For me, I have Hilton, Landry, Robinson and Benjamin - he's been sitting for me. I hope Robinson turns it around, but still have a tough time putting in Benjamin yet. I will have to play the matchups more now week to week.

So the idiots who dropped Jarvis Landry and Sammy Watkins have me confused. I go with Landry right?

Dropping Ameer Abdullah either way, not going through this will he or won't he play for the rest of the year.

Watkins I think is bye filler until he proves healthy I think. That leaves Cooks(v.ATL) or Benny(v.INDY). Ride out with Benny right?

I don't see any scenario where you'd sit Cooks, none. Benjamin is good and all (I have him as well), but it's Cooks man. I'd be looking at trading for a positional upgrade if you're that WR heavy.

I've been looking at dealing WR to help my RB situation as I'm sitting with Ingram/D'Angelo/Bell/Duke/Michael/D.Lewis (IR). But, I'm not gonna get anything for Watkins at this point, surely nothing that betters my RB core...and I like the idea of being covered throughout the byes with a capable stable of WR instead of just swapping bye issues from RB to WR. I did put out a feeler for Gurley based with Ingram/Benjamin. He's just in need of players in general. No response.

Yes. Landry. Watkins sounds like he'll be playing through pain most of the year if not all year. For what it's worth I'd trade Watkins for Landry in a nano at this point, especially in PPR.

Someone talk me off the ledge. I've been offered Will Fuller for TY Hilton and I'm tempted to pull the trigger. I have never been impressed with TY...picking him was solely because he was the best value at that point.

I think stick with Ty...he's still #1. Will is clear#2 unless injury to D. Will has boom/bust potential whereas Ty as a clear higher floor if only a marginal ceiling disparity.

My problem with TY is that he is boom or bust...By then end of the year he will have more points than Fuller, but Fuller looks like he is going to get 4 targets at 20+ yards downfield every game and is the ONLY other guy to catch passes in that offense. TY is going to have 180 and 2TD but he is going to give you 3 games of 3 for 38 in between.

All that said, I think from draft position and name recognition TY should get you more than just Fuller coming back. Also, Indy had a tough match up last week and TY is a bit banged up, so might be too soon to draw any definitive conclusions.

Who would you rather have, Kelce or Graham? Kelce is steady but never wows you. Graham seems more boom or bust. I also have Julius Thomas who I feel is pretty good and going to have a bounce back year in that offense.

Waiver wire bananza this week, how are you guys ranking the following;

Fozzy, Artis-Payne, Dwayne Washington (det), McCluster, Asiata ( I am assuming guys like Michael, McKinnon, etc. have been picked up in most leagues by now)

This year, Kelce. Graham is playing hurt and it is evident. Feels like a decoy out there more than anything.

I guess Foz, CAP, but the others are really meh.

Personally Id take a flyer on Jordan Howard or Keyan Drake. Both will get some pt this week, but I'd keep them stashed for a week or two if you got depth.

I flipped Jalen Richard for C2kJ to handcuff David Johnson.

In a ppr league my full roster is as such
2qb, 4 wr, 5rb, 2 Te K, D. One of the really good owners is only carrying 3 wrs.

Sky Bucks · Post #276 » by **Sky Bucks** » Wed Sep 21, 2016 4:19 pm

Lost 90.1 to 90 last week... Literaraly needed 1 yard.

vegaspacker · Post #277 » by **vegaspacker** » Wed Sep 21, 2016 4:24 pm

In my super non competitive free league, which I swear is just like Profounds, all sorts of nonsense going down.

Someone dropped Lacy for McKinnon. I picked up Crowell off waivers.

I put in for Lacy tonight, if I get him... I basically have a ridiculous backfield to work and make deals with.

D. Johnson, Forte, L Murray, L. Bell, Crowell, n Lacy.

Wrs...
A. Cooper, T Benjamin, J Landry, Randall Cobb and Josh Gordon.

Non PPR? and you have a gluttony of ppr studs at RB. I'd honestly shop DJ and get a stud WR1+. BUT...but...you have to win that trade. Not selling quarters for dimes. You can always (maybe) flex a WR.

Picked up the red hot Matt Ryan and Dennis Pitta this week. Set on Dez, Cooper, M. Jones, Gurley as starters as well, just struggling with my 2nd RB. PPR. Here are my options:

Latavius Murray - Not psyched about his decrease in workload, but he's still been producing.
Charles Sims - Should get a healthy workload and lots of targets in the pass game. Rams D is tough though,
Tevin Coleman - I like him a lot this week, but he's still a risky play while he's splitting with Freeman.
Gio Bernard - Had a monster game last week but now faces Denver. Looks like he's won the RB1 job though.
Jeremy Langford - He's not good and could lose touches to Howard, but Dallas is a favorable match-up.
