Hey man, im famous for trades. I literally trade like 20x a year each league. Im always open to offers!

Is that because you’re a bad drafter????

I inquired about Cousins & he countered with an offer that included Justin Jefferson for Dj Chark amid other things...I'm starting to think he'll do a deal but only if it's completely lopsided in his favor.

Wooow Wooow wooow. This is a superflex league boys. QBs are the premium. I knew JJ was high and you wouldn't accept, I was only trying to soften you into moving Cooper/Lockett lol.

I hate pizza guy. That is all.

Take a look at most roster and tell me who you like for Lance. And Brady and Lamar are unavailable unless you blow me away with your offer.

Its going to be really tough for me to trade Lance with the only 2 qbs on your roster id want off limits.

More so, I have no real desire to move him. Id definitely hear out offers, but i feel I WOULD need to be blown away to move on from him! Hes gonna be a top 10 qb when in action.

Im also way down on Big Ben. So the trade you proposed me (while maybe fair in a vacuum) significantly weakens my starting lineup, for a handcuff? If i'm trading my starting QB, id want someone id feel comfortable starting in my lineup. Dillons is not that guy pal! lolol

[azcatz11]

I would like to know if there is a process to uphold / veto trades. I assume we need at least 4 votes to uphold a trade?

Holy crap, almost forgot about our fantasy draft today bdubbs…send a message to people in the league cause it looks like a lot of people aren’t in it

Hey guys or anyone else, what are your thoughts on this team? I had the 10th pick out of 12 teams, standard scoring. Biggest decision I had to make was go for Kelce over Harris in Round 2. Participants with 11th (Taylor and Ekeler) 12th pick (Barkley and Gibson) went double RBs. I went Diggs first. Not sure if I made the right decision..time will tell.

QB-Lamar Jackson
WR-Diggs
WR-Beckham Jr
WR-Golladay
RB-Carson
RB-Jacobs
TE-Kelce
Flex-Ronald Jones II
K-Blankenship
DEF-CLE

Bench
RB-Fournette
WR-Callaway
WR-T Williams-DET
WR-Marvin Jones Jr
QB-Trey Lance

Not a huge fan of your team tbh. There is just so little depth at RB. I have a hard time not taking a RB (in any circumstance) in a non super flex league.

The whole Jacobs thing is going to be interesting this year. Let's see what work Drake gets week 1...if he's not effective or part of the passing game it's a different story

I just had my first 1 QB league draft and took 3 RBs with my first 3 picks...and there were 14 teams. I then stacked up on WRs and got Herbert in the 5th (he wasn't the top QB on the board but I am a Chargers fan..needed him in at least one league).

So I ended up with Herbert, Ekeler, Mixon, Carson and then at WR, Woods, Sutton, Marvin Jones Jr, Curtis Samuel, Will Fuller.

I also got the best backup QB in Tannehill and was the last to get TEs (Hunter Henry and Jared Cook).

From what I've read about the Chargers training camp, Cook is the guy the Athletic beat writer is most surprised about. I remember him writing (upon signing him) that he would mainly be a blocking back but watching training camp he said he is the guy he expects to surprise most people on offense.

I also think the Patriots will throw a ton to both TEs. I will probably usually start Cook though unless I am convinced it's the wrong move and Henry (who I think is really good) stays healthy and starts really performing big. Mainly because I think Cook is the main guy for the Chargers but Parham was really good in certain situations last year.

But ultimately, the point of my post is I always stack up on RBs early...it's pretty rare I take a WR very high..certainly not with one of my first 2 picks unless maybe I am in an 8 team league or something, but I still usually go for the RBs. Too big of drop off at RB after about the top 15 or 20 whereas there are like 40-50 decent receivers...if not more...some usually come out of nowhere too and can be picked up.

Yeah - the WR receiver depth is just crazy this year. I took Ekeler with my first pick also (in a 14 team league) @ pick 7. Full PPR and I'm super high on him. I actually think he has a decent shot at being RB1 in PPR this year. RB8 last year (missing 6 games) and only 3 TD's...

Yeah, I got him at pick 11. He will be used a lot as a RB and receiver. I got insurance too with Justin Jackson. Another super under the radar pick is Larry Rountree. He is a rookie and they also have Joshua Kelly but Jackson is a little injury prone and Kelley has not impressed me.

Thanks guys for your advice. Yeah, I typically go RBs early too, but idk for some reason I wasn’t feeling any of the RBs available as a sure thing compared to Diggs and Kelce. I’ll likely need to trade some WRs to get a better running back down the line. I think Carson will be solid for me, but Jacobs/Jones are definitely going to make or break my team. They are definitely X factors here. It’s good that I have the most mobile quarterback in Jackson which could help with rushing if I look at it that way.

For what it’s worth, Yahoo gave my team the best draft, most points, and best record in the league. Although not I’m not sure how accurate that is.

Just make sure you get another starting caliber RB. Carson is bound to miss some time at some point. He always has an injury or two due to his physical nature. If you have room on your bench, you might want to pickup Alex Collins as his handcuff. I wouldn't put too much stock into Rashaad Penny. Collins has outperformed him this preseason. Penny has his own injury issues.

I got a B grade in one yahoo draft and a D in another (though that was a dumb deep keeper league with 20 teams and 4 keepers so you can't really pick any good players.

Anyway, the B grade said I'd still miss the playoffs but I think I may have the best team. I think they grade purely on THEIR rankings, and people win by not following rankings but by being smart enough to go against the grain and end up being right.

It said I made a mistake not filling a position of need and getting a 3rd RB to fill flex position before any receivers or other positions of need. But I will also probably easily win that flex position, by a larger amount than I lose at other spots. It's just all strategy. I have been doing this long enough to know (I'd rather not say how long).

The average fantasy player has no idea who Marquez Callaway is.

I had him in my top 100 players a month ago.

[bluejerseyjinx]

For now the plan is to start Fitz & stream Ben week to week. Wish me luck!

If Ben is a streamer what does that say about the WR room there? No shot Claypool, Johnson + Schuster can be 100 players (that's where they're being drafted)

Fitz was a top 12 QB last year as a starter. Ben was 14th with that supporting cast. I figure as long as my team stays relatively healthy (Cook, Jefferson & crew), then I have a decent chance riding with Fitzmagic!

For a fair deal I could part with Winston.

[bluejerseyjinx]

I hate pizza guy. That is all.

So when does Lance become the starter?

As soon as Jimmy-G. trips off his g-string and once again becomes injured.

[bwgood77]

Hey bw did you set up a pick 'em league again this year? Sorry if I didn't see it posted somewhere but if you did I'm interested in joining in again.

Oh, I didn't see this before, but it is set up....see the thread here or in global announcements.

[LightTheBeam]

Fellas is it me or does it feel like X-Mas morning?

Here's to hoping for a good game tonight ending in a tie hahahah! (can't wait for Thursday night theme music)

[bluejerseyjinx]

Not if your a Cowboy fan.
