Ok, somebody sell me on this trade...in a 3 wr ppr, I have Eddleman, Cooper, Baldwin, Dez as my top 4 wr. Got an offer for Davante Adams and could get Crowell or Ajayi. This would upgrade my RB from Matt Jones, James White, Duke and Knile Davis now.

I've been using White and then best matchup and after a rough start, it is starting to work. After researching Ajayi and Crowell I'm absolutely torn on who is the more useful player, the guy I can start more, and more consistently get results?

With Crowell, I am thinking McCown coming back might be the thing that gets him back on track. But can't ignore Duke getting more of the snaps. For Ajayi, it seems the coaching staff doesn't like him and it wasn't all that long ago he was a did not travel to a game where he was healthy.

I could maybe try to use Adams and another RB piece to go after CJ Anderson, but I have never been sold on that dude. But would love to hear some thoughts.

Why the fu&& does Jeremy Hill wait until I bench him to go off? I have only benched him twice this year and both times he has exploded.

Hate that backfield. There is no winning with that backfield. I straight up DROPPED Gio so I wouldn't have to play the weekly guessing game anymore.

What irritates me more is all of my other backs are on bye next week so I will have to play both Bengal backs....watch them do absolutely nothing.

I would probably go after Anderson with that package. Adams will likely see alot of throws considering the Packers will be throwing the ball around 40 tines a game from here on out but he's just such a boom or bust guy as the #3 WR.

If you need a RB it's best to sell high on him but on but that could change quickly if say Cobb or Jordy goes down

Yep. That's how it works.

An another note, am a terrible human for hoping Crabtree gets hurt? His rapport with Carr in the red zone is really starting to tick off this Cooper owner.

Thank you, Ajayi! Doing great as my Ezekiel fill-in this week.

I had Hill and dropped him. I hate him and that backfield. Let someone else worry about when one or the other will go off.

Well of course Hill is hurt

Profound23 · Post #510 » by **Profound23** » Sun Oct 23, 2016 7:31 pm

Had Ajayi playing....had I also played Hill I would have the two best backs this week.

Ty now listed as WR/RB on ESPN.

Would you trade Bell for GurleyAjayi? PPR League....My other RB's are West and Ivory

I'd hold onto Le'Veon.

I had an all-time terrible day. Five starters had less than two points. Another had 4.9. That seems hard to pull off intentionally.

I hear ya. I had Amari Cooper, Jordan Howard, Cameron Meredith and Hunter Henry combine for 10.9 points, with Buffalo's D accumulating a goose egg. All the while, my opponent was "that guy" who hasn't updated his roster in weeks. Had been starting Adrian Peterson, as well as playing players on BYE, but decided that this was the week to finally play his eligible guys. That entailed going against LeGarrette Blount and Mike Wallace, in addition to Aaron Rodgers.

Granted, had I started Cobb over Meredith, I would've won (thanks in large part to Ajayi), but damn it all to hell that this guy chose this week to update his f*cking lineup. Ugh. Here's to getting Zeke and Dez back next week.

Next year no trades for me. I was so happy to steal Hopkins and Gurley.

So glad I got Ajayi in both leagues, he might end up starting over Gurley after the bye week.

RiotPunch · Post #517 » by **RiotPunch** » Wed Oct 26, 2016 4:12 pm

Okay, I need to pick 3. PPR.

Dez Bryant
Amari Cooper
Randall Cobb
Marvin Jones Jr.
Ty Montgomery
Willie Snead

Really tough call this week. Leaning Cooper, Cobb, Monty but I have a real hard time benching Dez and Jones.

Yeah I'm on board with you...not touching Jones recently even though I own him everywhere given some of his matchups (Stafford will throw to Tate if a good corner is on Marvin) and Dez is a complete unknown.

Picked up Jordan Howard before he blew up, picked up Ajayi two weeks ago, and got Devontae Booker last week.

Picked up Asiata this week because nobody touched him and someone just straight up dropped McKinnon. I may just use my waiver priority to pick him up.

In one league:

Winston
ODB/Hopkins/Mike Evans
Gurley/Ajayi/Devontae Booker/Hill/Gio/Asiata/McKinnon/Derrick Henry
Hunter Henry/Doyle

Other league:
Blake Bortles
Hopkins/Amari Cooper/Ty Montgomery
Leveon/DeAngelo/Demarco/Ajayi/Devontae/Jordan Howard/Tevin Coleman
Hunter Henry/Doyle

My biggest weakness is QB but I waited until almost the last round to draft them so I expected that. I have the players I need to make it through the next couple of bye weeks and potential injuries. If Gurley and/or Hopkins ever get their sh** together I have to win at least one of these leagues.

My drafted players have under-performed, my waiver claims have been carrying me.

Gotten lucky in my 15 team ppr league. top 2 picks, Allen Robinson and Charles have busted. Luckily took spencer ware. been using riddick/hill as my 2nd RB until i can now use Ty Montgomery there and am luckily 5-2. My other leagues where I thought Id be dominate have been the guy who faces the top scorer each week and am struggling. I lead the league in scoring in the other 2 leagues but am 3-4 in each... Not sure if I should panic and trade or let it ride out and hopefully these teams stop scoring 150 on me
