in my deep leagues and the decimated by injuries leagues, I'm getting a feeling about Devontae Booker. I think I am going to make him a priority stash and see if that might be a lottery ticket down the line.

Obviously depends on all other options, but I've liked Booker. I tried jumping on him as a sneaky get his rookie year...at the time, sneaky? yes, a get? No. He just needs an opportunity. Or CJ to open the door a little wider.

12. Shallow bench with 3 starting WR so most reams carry only 1 QB. Less than an hour after my post, Ryan gone, Wilson gone, Mariota gone. The Wilson pick up dropped Cousins. That's my target pending (DMC)

Dropped Mixon in lieu of Henry (whom I dropped a couple weeks back).

Offered up Hyde/(Graham or Brate) for Ajayi/(Fuller or Benjamin).

Doubt he bites but maybe it starts the convo. Gonna have to get a WR3 somewhere when byes come in.

You should pick up Mixon again. Henry's line was an aberration. Much of his production came on a broken play on the last play on Monday while they were trying to run the clock out. That's still a split backfield imo. Mixon is the workhorse, Henry isn't. Given the limited number of guys in this league that are "the guy," Mixon isn't droppable. Poor move imo.

Think the trade offer is garbage too. Ajayi flat out hasn't produced. As long as Hyde is healthy, he is a flat out PRODUCER. In all caps. Fuller's production looks better than it actually is because of his unsustainable touchdown catches versus limited receptions. Benjamin, to me, is a flyer guy. He'll have good weeks, he'll have bad weeks, and is worth starting, but doesn't make up the gap between Hyde and Ajayi. I'd cancel that deal before it's accepted.

Word is is that Henry is getting the call in the 4th and the split is going to lean heavily in Henry's favor. I'm betting no one is keeping an eye on Mixon and if I wanted to pick him back up next week, that will be an option. I haven't started him once...maybe once with the byes.

Re the trade. Wasn't a formal proposal, I just shot him a msg and negotiate that way. I'm looking at it more along the lines of Hyde for Benny/Fuller and the other parts are throw ins. I'm in need of a stable 4th WR. If it's a slight overpay eh...I'm okay with that.

Definitely appreciate the response. You've made valid points, I'm just sketched out on my WR depth as the FA pool is shallow at best and if I can consolidate a couple assets to get that solidified I'd be fine with it.

Martavis Bryant is apparently getting a "full role" going forward which will hurt JJSS. Collins doesn't get red zone work which hurts his upside.

In a ppr I kind of like Smallwood and Kupp this week.

Homer in me would probably pick Jones or Ty though. Might be a lot of dump offs in this game.

Its a ppr and I'm going the homer route with a packer. Leaning Montgomery because I could see a ton of little dump off passes today.

That's what I would pick too. I guess we will see if we are smart or not

Jones is legitimately our running back now. That's a great development going forward

Kamara v. Hyde. Non PPR.

I'm facing a similar decision with Hyde vs. Smallwood/Blount. They play the 49ers so one of the two or both should have a huge day, or do I just go with Hyde and hope it isn't a Brieda day at the office.

I'd probably roll with Hyde, but I feel like it would be more fun to go Kamara, because I am beginning to hate owning Hyde.

Hyde was a total 'value' pick as I went so heavy on WR. I hated picking him but he's proved valuable. Luckily I staved off his 'off' weeks...but yeah it's totally Jekyll/Hyde
...and I'm a sucker for the potential candidate...but being non PPR without the TDs Kamara is a hard sell, but if Hyde don't get the TDs it's down to yards...and that's where Kam gets the edge.

You have both PHI RBs? Double ??? Whammy.

I think PHI get up quick on SF which might mean the ride the Blount hammer.

Take it with a salt block.

Just made a trade. I need a WR 2 desperately. My WR are Crabtree, Amendola, Marqise Lee, Marquise Goodwin. I am pretty set at RB with Fournette, McCoy, Kamara and Marlon Mack.

Traded away Kamara, Amendola and Lee for Dez, Doctson and Thomas Rawls. Pretty sideways move but I really need a WR that can put up 10-15 points consistently and also have the potential for breakout games.

I wanted plenty of other guys but most the teams I send offers to either dont acknowledge them and let them expire or they turn them down but never counter, I hate that.

7-1, good for 2nd place and I play my friend next week who is 8-0. Should be a hell of a matchup

IrishRainbow · Post #537 » by **IrishRainbow** » Tue Oct 31, 2017 7:46 pm

So. Who's the back to have in MIA now? Drake or Williams? Are either worth the own at this point? Short bench so there's not a whole lot of room for 'fliers', but I'm gonna have to replace Zeke and have no faith in DMC (but that could be buyers remorse from years ago)

BUCKnation · Post #538 » by **BUCKnation** » Wed Nov 1, 2017 3:50 am

I think Drake is. They invested a 3rd for him and he has been backup, so he will get the job to start.

Gianstoppable · Post #539 » by **Gianstoppable** » Wed Nov 1, 2017 4:17 am

Put 36 waiver claims in. Even if I win 1st place if I divide up the time spent it's probably like $2 an hour lol. Week 9 and I am already at 56 roster moves

IrishRainbow · Post #540 » by **IrishRainbow** » Fri Nov 3, 2017 3:58 pm

I knew I didn't want any part of Zekegate. But I figured 4th round was worth the flier. He's been available and anchoring so there's that
But I've been having to burn waiver priorities to pickup another back. Then the 6 week finally drops. Okay. Weather the storm and he'll be available for the finals....starting to get salty...can you tell? At 7-1 I shouldn't, but damn OBJ, now Watson...and at some point Zeke to leave th cupboards fairly dry come PO time.

Now that he's back to being a go, Kamara or Collins?
