I didn't see one for today, so I'll start...
I just got offered a trade - Jimmy Graham for Tevin Coleman. .5 PPR 10 team league.
Here is the rest of my team:
QB - Eli & Carr
RB - Forte, Freeman, Coleman, Blount, McKinnon & Dwayne Washington
WR - AJ Green, Jeffery, Diggs, E. Sanders,
TE - Julius Thomas and Cameron Brate (TB starter)
Thomas might not play, so Graham will be an upgrade. I'm currently 0-3 despite having the 3rd most points.
Thoughts?
Good thing those Dolphins sold out to stop the run all night while allowing AJG to get single coverage on the outside and consistent 15 yard cushion! I've never seen so much easy pitch & catch - great strategy!
Will definitely decline but may counter offer. Would you do:
1- Evans and Charles for Brown
OR
2- Hopkins and Charles for Brown?
My Current Team:
QB: Stafford, Brady
RB: Lacy, Deangelo Williams, RYan Mathews, Sproles, Darkwa
WR: Brown, Cooks, Marvin Jones, Moncrief
TE: Rudolph
K: Tucker
DEF: By Committee
Thanks man. I have a RB/WR flex spot too. Jeffery or Diggs? or roll with one of the ATL backs?
In other news, Josh Gordon made my decision pretty easy, so I pulled the trigger up Doug Martin.
Now I just need a QB!

If you really want to do the trade, I'd do Evans and Charles for Brown (If its PPR I like Edelman, too esp since you have Brady). However, Charles has burned me so much in the past I just can't ever have him on my team. If he stays healthy you'll be in great shape though.
say Brown and Matthews for Charles and Hopkins.
Ryan has a history of injury and might miss more time as the season goes on.

Thanks - yea completely fair re: Charles. Even when he comes back, he will split carries.
Wentz or Siemian I think. Maybe Wentz
ahead...Wentz @ Det, Flacco v Wash, or Siemian v ATL?
Wentz
Graham had 100 yards and a TD last week.
I would not do that trade though.
1- David Johnson
2- Travis Benjamin
3- Victor Cruz
For
1- Antonio Brown
2- Ryan Mathews
3- Orleans Darkwa
Ugh owner just cancelled it though lol. Was about to do it

You should be glad he did. I like David Johnson a lot, but if he goes down, you lose that trade enormously. RB is too volatile a position to give up the premier fantasy asset for in Antonio Brown.
Maybe you don't like his season long outlook, but he's hardly doing nothing. He's 2nd on the team in receiving yards and that's after missing half of game 1, and some of game 2 as they were managing his reps.
I also wouldn't do the trade right now, but if he has another couple weeks like week 3, he's an every week TE1.

Just keep Brown. Don't get too cute with these trades. You have something the entire league wants. Be patient, protect your waivers, and strike on a RB if you want to improve that position. If you have room, go ahead and add Kenneth Dixon now if he's still available. Not only are RB points likely available on your waiver wire right now, they will assuredly be as the weeks go on. If you are set at RB, there is no reason to trade Brown. Smile as he racks up huge fantasy points for you, and not your competition.

Coleman could be the starter by the end of the season and Graham is doing nothing in Seattle.
Graham had 100 yards and a TD last week.
I would not do that trade though.
is that the first time since he went to Seattle over a year ago? Forget it... he is toast in that offense
I don't feel like going back to do the numbers again but Graham before his injury last year was on pace for 50/800/3 or something to that effect. TE production has been abysmal this year so Graham could have a lot of value.
If you don't like him, that's perfectly fine. But he isn't "toast" until he gets injured.
It's 1RB 2RB/WR 3WR 1TE 0.5 PPR

Thanks. This is frustrating news for me as in one league I have him, Rawls, and Doug Martin. If I hadn't drafted as well as I did I might be in trouble. And this is the part where I show off my team. Note - I did a trade of Le'Veon Bell, Mariota, and Amari Cooper for Russell Wilson, Martin (pre-injury), and OBJ:
Lineup:
Eli
Blount
DeMarco Murray
Julio Jones
OBJ
Kelce
Bench
Tevin Coleman
Russell Wilson
Doug Martin
Rawls
Decker
Jordan Matthews
Zach Miller
K - Justin Tucker
DEF - NY Giants (I believe)
His best weapon is Baldwin. But Graham is a solid #2 option and red zone target. The guy who loses this year with Graham healthy is Lockett - so much for a breakout candidate... not even targeted last week.

It really depends on the trade. You obviously want RB help. Trying to understand your league settings... your RB is a flex? So you can start all WRs instead of RBs if you wanted? If so, stand pat. What's available at RB on waivers right now? I would definitely jettison Duke Johnson for Kenneth Dixon right now. I would rather have a high upside back up than Duke Johnson, like Devontae Booker or Mike Gillislee or even James Starks.
Somehow wound up with 3 mediocre TE's in a non-PPR league.
Who do I start and who do I drop:
Fleener @SD
Pitta vs OAK
Ebron @CHI
I'm leaning toward starting Fleener (Brees is my QB) and cutting Ebron.

It isn't Baldwin if Graham is 100%, just no chance. Baldwin is rarely a mismatch, although he is a good WR. Graham when 100% is always a mismatch, the quest is whether he's 100% and if he is, how long does that last.

Ebron @CHI

I don't like Ebron, but his targets are up I believe. I hate Fleener because he sucks, but he's in the perfect scenario which even mediocre players can thrive in. Pitta is very good when healthy, possibly the best of the 3.
I'd drop Ebron I guess and give Fleener 1 more chance to prove he's not a pussy.
With 24 and 23 respectively.
Olsen leads all TE's with 27 (for perspective).
Ebron has 20 targets.
Fleener only has 10 receptions on those 23 targets though the lowest of the three.
They're all just mediocre, TE's suck. Outside of a healthy Gronk which is about as rare as a leprechaun, and maybe Kelce and a healthy Eifert there aren't a lot of reliable TE's.
Just feel tempted to get Stafford (guy has Cam and thin at WR)
I would like to trade a bit of my RBs or last 2 WRs for either a nice TE or QB or additional WR or better RB

I think you play Fleener this week. And I'd hold on to the other two for now. On any outside road game (except this one), you bench Fleener. Play him at home and in road domes. I think Ebron's value is real, and he's the safest. If someone will bite on Pitta for Rudolph, do it. I think Rudolph is a big part of the offense going forward, and has double digit TD upside this season. I don't trust Pitta to stay healthy, his injuries have been of the very significant variety, and he doesn't exactly play in a juggernaut offense. When it's close, choose the guys in the more productive offense.

Yeah I think Pitta is the best overall of the 3, but they want to turn into a running team (and hopefully they will as a Dixon owner, no offense). Ebron is a physical freak but that hasn't clicked yet. And Fleener just isn't very good but has the best situation by a mile. So yeah, you'll be rolling the dice, haha.
I've got Olsen and Graham and hoping I can start using both each week.
Is Wentz available? I like him going forward. But don't do anything drastic. You have Rivers and he's good enough to give you a chance at winning most weeks. I would stream QB on really tough matchup weeks (like against the Broncos).
Good thing those Dolphins sold out to stop the run all night while allowing AJG to get single coverage on the outside and consistent 15 yard cushion! I've never seen so much easy pitch & catch - great strategy!
Hopefully the Vikings admired that strategy enough to deploy it against us on Monday night.

I have Dixon too, and I think BAL wants to be a running team, but so far with Forsett and West I wouldn't confuse them with the Earl Campbell Oilers.
So for now they have a good run/pass mix, and in fact they have more pass attempts than the Giants do and not nearly the depth or quality of receiver, so Pitta should be a safe bet going forward if he can stay healthy, I'm just not sure I like this weeks matchup for him vs OAK as much as Fleener @ SD.
I like him, but maybe they involved DHB more. He's still there, right? It seems there is a DHB sighting once every 4 or 5 weeks.
If you're in a 12 team or more league and desperate, Coates is a guy you can pick up and he's a lottery ticket.
I believe he has the talent and physical gifts to be a good #2 opposite Brown. But Tomlin hasn't come to that conclusion yet apparently, and until he does, and Wheaton, DHB, and Rogers continue to muddy the waters for the foreseeable future, there are probably better options in free agency. Steve Smith might be on your waiver wire... got 11 targets last game. On my waiver wire in a 10 team league is also Beasley, DeSean Jackson, Tavon Austin, and Phillip Dorsett. I would take any of those guys before Coates right now, but Coates might be the better option if both Wheaton and Rogers are out this week.
Yeah, none of those guys or even Coates are available in my league.
my best waiver options right now are:
Devin Funchess
Rishard Matthews
Tedd Ginn, Jr
Clive Walford
Jack Doyle
Vance McDonald
and it's a non-mandatory TE league.
Not that I need anyone on waivers, but it's basically a wasteland of scrap heap guys with a 12-team league, 2 flex spots, and 8 person benches.
