On the Pryor train

PPR. Need one of these 3: Christine Michael @ NYJ, Latavius Murray @ Baltimore, and Tevin Coleman vs Carolina.

[M-C-G]

My running backs are J. Charles, L. Blount, L. Murry and S. Ware. Do I take a risk and drop Ware with Charles coming back soon and grab Kenneth Dixon on the Ravens while he's available? or am I better off dropping a WR like Fuller, cobb, E. Sanders or T. Williams. Its a PPR Leauge.

I think Ware has a role all year, so I would be pretty cautious. I like Dixon though and personally would want him on my roster more than Randall Cobb right now, which is a depressing thought. Maybe move a WR and your TE to upgrade in a 2 for 1 type deal? Then pick up Dixon

Would you guys start Luck or Tannehill this week? Thanks!

I have a long history of hating Tannehill....every time I start him in what should be a good fantasy day he has **** the bed. So naturally I am going Luck.

[M-C-G]

I don't need either of these, but it seems like a good week to burn Waiver Priority #1 :

Howard or Pryor

I'm leaning Howard, but Pryor's triple threat last week is super enticing.

I'd go Howard...I am assuming Pryor loses that spot with Coleman and Gordon coming back.

That is a hard call...given Car and Jets D, I might lean Latavius...I'd probably go CM second and TC third.

I'd go Michael.

I'd go Michael.

I could see a scenario where he ends up the top points of the group, but by my recall, that Jets front 7 is really tough against the run...Not sure if that is perception or reality though.

I currently have Coleman in my lineup, but part of that is me trying to make him look better while I try to trade him for a stud WR. Currently in discussions with the TY Hilton owner. He also has Cooper. My WRs have been injured (Sammy, who I cut, Dez, and Willie Snead).

[RiotPunch]

My reasoning for Michael is strictly volume. He's going to get lots of opportunities, whereas Latavius is losing touches and I think his TD streak ends this week. I think Coleman is a solid start though as well in PPR leagues.

This is smart. Sell basically all Falcons at all costs. Julio should be fine, but while Coleman is a pretty good player, he's splitting carries, has had slightly lucky 3 TD game to boost his ranking, and most importantly: the Falcons have by far the toughest fantasy defense schedule remaining in the NFL...especially for the next 3 weeks.

[M-C-G]

Embarrassed, well sort of but not really, to admit this....I saw Cameron Payne fracture in foot on WT and immediately was excited about putting Fozzy Whitaker in the starting fantasy football line up this week....sigh

Anybody master the art of D/ST? I usually stream defenses based on match-ups, but haven't been finding a ton of success this year, on the flip side lost last week because Kansas City racked up 35 fantasy points. Thinking about streaming Washington this week against Cody Kessler and that Browns offense.

[mlloyd10]

Was offered Luck/Hopkins for Ryan/Latavius Murray/Fuller - I have Bell/Forte/Jordan Howard as my RB. Should i do that trade?

Ryan as in Matt Ryan? Do that trade and don't look back. Luck/Hopkins are two of the best buy low candidates right now. Ryan, historically, is inconsistent as a fantasy producer, Latavius is losing more carries with each week that goes by, and Fuller is a boom/bust guy with one great week under his belt.

That trade would like like an absolute steal come playoff time, IMO.

Yeah. Take that trade before whoever proposed it realizes what he's doing

I feel like one of these games Michael is going to have just a colossal game. This week is probably a bad bet to be that game, but I'm scared to miss it.

PFF Week 4 DST Streamers

New York Giants (at Minnesota Vikings)
It was a shock to see the Giants just 18 percent owned, but numbers don’t lie. They have played extremely well this year despite the tough start to their schedule, having played two divisional opponents (Cowboys and Redskins) and the high-powered Saints offense. In that time, they’ve allowed just three passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown.


Their matchup in Week 4 doesn’t strike most as a “must play,” but they are much more appealing than you’d think. Sam Bradford didn’t have to do much against the Panthers last week, because Cam Newton essentially gave the Vikings the game, turning the ball over three times (or the Vikings defense stole the game). The week prior to that, Bradford had his second-highest PFF grade in a single week, though it was against a Packers team that has allowed six passing scores through three games. Bradford has now gone two straight games without an interception; he’s only gone three straight such games twice in his career, and one of those times was back in 2010. He’s been sacked six times in his two starts thanks to the No. 31-ranked offensive line on pass-blocking, and the Giants should be able generate pressure up front with a rejuvenated Jason Pierre-Paul and Olivier Vernon.

New York Jets (vs. Seattle Seahawks)
A week after Ryan Fitzpatrick threw away the game for the Jets, they have to play the Seahawks? Not quite the consolation prize. Well, it actually might be. Not only is Thomas Rawls going to be out, but there’s a possibility that they rest Russell Wilson’s sprained MCL because they have their bye coming in Week 5. Even with Wilson on the field, the Seahawks haven’t presented the threat they did toward the end of 2015. They allowed both the Dolphins and the Rams defense to have solid fantasy days against them, and the 49ers are… well, they’re the 49ers.

As far as the threat of Christine Michael goes, he is playing extremely well, but this is a Jets defense that has picked up right where they left off last year. They have now allowed just three rushing touchdowns in their last 19 games, and it took two of those running backs to rack up 24 or more carries in order to get a touchdown. The Jets have also put a lot of pressure on the quarterback, totaling nine sacks through three games, and this is a Seahawks offensive line that has graded No. 30 in pass-blocking and No. 32 in run-blocking. The Jets should move up to No. 1 in your streamer selection if Wilson misses the game, but they’re still worth a play even if he does suit up.

Jacksonville Jaguars (vs. Indianapolis Colts)
It’s hard to recommend a Jaguars defense that has not lived up to their expectations. As a matter of fact, they’ve been one to target in matchups up to this point. But the same can be said for their Week 4 opponent, the Colts. Before Week 1, I stated that it would take time for the Jaguars defense to mesh, considering all of the moving parts in it via free agency, the draft, as well as players returning from injury. You saw them allow six touchdown passes to Aaron Rodgers and Philip Rivers, but they improved in Week 3, holding Joe Flacco to zero touchdowns, and just 5.4 yards per attempt.

The Colts have been a matchup to target, despite the fact that they score 27 points per game. The reason is because they have one of the worst offensive lines in football, and Andrew Luck isn’t afraid to throw an interception or two. As a matter of fact, he has thrown multiple interceptions in 10 of his last 26 games. The Colts offensive line is PFF’s No. 28-ranked pass defense, while the Jaguars pass rush has been graded higher every single week. As a whole, their defense actually played extremely well in Week 3 and considering the Colts will be missing Donte Moncrief, it’s not out of the realm of possibilities that the Jaguars win this game at home.

Washington Redskins (vs. Cleveland Browns)
The Dolphins were the most popular streaming option last week against the Browns, and for good reason. They were at home, and the Browns were going to be sending out their third-round pick Cody Kessler to start on limited practice time with the 1’s. While the Dolphins didn’t blow the doors off, they still finished the game with four sacks and a fumble recovery. Meanwhile, the Redskins secondary was able to hold Eli Manning to just one touchdown pass.

The Redskins should be able to do even better than the Dolphins did because there is now tape on Kessler and how the Browns were rotating him and Terrelle Pryor behind center. Outside of getting lit up by the Steelers entire offense, the Redskins secondary has been solid. The lone area that the Browns can exploit is the run defense, but even so, that is not going to kill your streaming defense. The Redskins are early nine-point favorites in this game, which is what you want to see from your defense.

Josh Gordon gone done it again....I was so hoping he was going to bail me out of my Watkins / Keenan Allen picks....Damn

Josh Gordon entering rehab, NFL return on hold

Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon announced Thursday that he’ll enter an in-patient treatment facility and that his NFL return is on hold.

Gordon was conditionally reinstated by the NFL in July and would have been eligible to fully return to the Browns on Monday, Oct. 3 and play in the team’s Oct. 9 game. He was suspended for the first four games of 2016 as part of the terms of reinstatement from his previous suspension.

“After careful thought and deep consideration I’ve decided that I need to step away from pursuing my return to the Browns and my football career to enter an in-patient rehabilitation facility,” Gordon said in a statement. “This is the right decision for me and one that I hope will enable me to gain full control of my life and continue on a path to reach my full potential as a person. I appreciate the support of the NFL, NFLPA, the Browns, my teammates, my agent and the community through this extremely challenging process.”

Gordon led the NFL in receiving with 1,646 yards in 2013. He’s played in just five games since due to two different NFL suspensions and a one-game team suspension at the end of 2014. Gordon participated in training camp when healthy in August and played in two preseason games.

“We support Josh in taking this step to seek additional help and treatment,” Browns executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown said. “His singular focus must be on his own health. We want nothing more than for Josh to be successful personally and professionally and will not comment on his status with the organization at this time.”
