So glad I picked up Ajayi and Booker before they blew up. Ironically one guy picked up Booker then dropped him....he cleared waivers and I got him. That guy owns CJ Anderson....

I'm going to end up torturing myself over starting Diggs or Jeffery tonight. Down 22 with Minnesota's defense as well. Knowing I need a TD, think Diggs has a better shot of getting in the endzone.

I'd go diggs... Read a tweat indicating MIN will probably double jeffrey especially if cutler starts. However, if you have Minn's defense, they probably have a better shot at scoring than Diggs or Jeffrey LOL!

That's what I'm leaning towards. Diggs DID get into the endzone 3 times last year vs the Bears and I feel like he's due after a few duds.

I realize fantasy football rarely plays out the way it should, but you have Alshon against a team that has shut down #1 WRs all year or Diggs against the team that has given up the most points statistically to opposing WR's.

Just based off of that I would go Diggs.

I really need to stop being so trigger happy in the waiver wire. Dropped Bortles/Howard for A. Smith/Asiata this week. Leaving A LOT of would-be points off the board.

I essentially try to keep 2 roster spots as "churners"....take fliers on guys or one week fill ins. If you hit on a churner, then you basically need to look at moving someone down from your core line up to churner status. Guys like Prosise, Robert Kelly, Don Jackson, Eli Rogers, Sammy Watkins (tried to stash him but needed to drop with the byes), Ben Hogan, etc...And just hope that a guy hits. This has been a bit harder this year because I drafted and stashed Dion Lewis in my money leagues, which has been a tough guy to hold on to with how good White has been.

If a guy that is or was a churner blows up, can't sweat it, that just goes with the territory especially if he is a guy that I know I wouldn't have started (see Hogan).

Yeah, I have a similar strategy with turning guys over trying to hit the jackpot. It's just hilarious that I held onto Bortles for so long then he went apesh*t, the guy I picked up got concussed, picked up Asiata in a favorable matchup/big workload and was forced to drop Howard for Davante late Sunday when I found out Monty couldn't go, then of course Howard explodes against the best defense in football.

You're right though, can't sweat it. Put in a claim for Dion Lewis myself this week--hope he can come back and be a big part of that offense.

Yeah, I have had Hogan and Kendall Wright twice each on my rosters, but have to be honest, I was never starting them over Cooper, Dez and Eddleman. So oh well.

I'm liking Prosise big play production. Hoping he finds a meaningful role as my last "churner".

Would you guys trade Randolph for luck? My remaining te would then be gates. Right now I've been playing Stafford at the qb position.

PPR.. Got: Cobb@indy, DAdams@indy, Hurns@kc, Sanu@TB... I could grab Britt or Austin.

I don't usually like to run 2 wrs from the same team but im leaning cobb and adams.

Thoughts?

James1980 · Post #552 » by **James1980** » Wed Nov 2, 2016 8:04 pm

PPR Start 2: Donte Moncrief, Emmanuael Sanders, Mohamed Sanu, or Sterling Shepard. Thanks!

I'd go Adams and Hurns with Sanu a close 3rd and wait to see how Cobb comes back after injury.

Hey what sites do you guys use for up to the second news? KFFL used to be great, but then it got bought out by the USA today and they removed the endless news feed that they had going on with it. Now I find I have to bounce around to different sites to get all the info I am looking for.

Not sure about the rest of you, but I scooped up Dion Lewis yesterday. He could be a RB to help bring home a ship.

He's back on the field for week 10, it's a flyer. He was awesome in ppr last season when healthy.

I grabbed him as well.

Ajayi or Charcandrick this week?

Who on Earth do I choose to start between Cobb, Monty, Davante? PPR.

Leaning Ajayi and Monty.

I like Booker and Gorden. Better match ups.
