So they say Fournette is playing this weekend. Should I start him? How much action will he get?
Pick 2:
Fournette vs NE (injured???
Yeldon vs NE
Morris vs DET
Drake vs NYJ
If you're really that nervous about Fournette's role, I could see going Yeldon (who will get touches/catches either way). But I'd rather go Fournette if he's starting.
that's a tough one, but Yeldon might be a safer bet than Fournette. I was lucky to survive last week when Baldwin started but came out in first Q and scored a goose egg.
It was a different injury than what he started with, but I could see Fournette starting but not finishing.
atleast once last year and it worked well. I wouldn’t do it for the Jets but I wouldn’t say it’s always a bad idea. Plenty of great WR combos - Fitz/Boldin for example.
I seem to be the only one that thinks Enunwa is the one to start. I know it's just one game, but Darnold targeted him 10 times last week vs. once for Anderson.
Cobb has a tough matchup and has never done well against MN.
thanks, you and I are in the minority picking Enunwa.
Cobb - A gimpy or no Rodgers vs Minny? No thanks
Anderson - don't see Darnold pushing the ball downfield a ton. He'll take a shot or two, but if he doesn't connect then Anderson might not do much at all.
is going to be a must start soon. Darnold looked to him early and often. Huge get in PPR leagues.
I just picked he and Cobb up on waivers last night, partly in response to losing Baldwin for extended time. After some research, I think Cobb might end up having a pretty good season, but not this week.
If things continue like week 1, I'll be dropping Anderson down the road.
The Jets were definitely scheming to use Enunwa as an easy look for Darnold and it worked. I suspect they will stick with that until teams make them stop. Have to think Enunwa gets double digit targets this week too
Randall Cobb vs. MN
Quincy Enunwa vs. MIA
Robby Anderson vs. MIA
Thanks for input!
I would recommend Enunwa. I am benching Cobb this week because of matchup. I like the early chemistry between Darnold and Enunwa. Enunwa was the target leader for the Jets, (double digit targets), and moreover, here are your WR red zone target leaders for week 1, with 3 red zone targets apiece: Antonio Brown, Corey Davis, T.Y. Hilton, Julio Jones, Michael Thomas, Cooper Kupp...and Quincy Enunwa.
It's too late for me now but curious as to what the community's thoughts are. I still like Goodwin when he is back to full health (deep thigh bruise), still think he is Jimmy G's preferred target and I still am a believer in the 49er passing game.
But would any you have dumped Goodwin to grab Golladay or Enunwa on waivers? I just have this nagging feeling I missed the boat there.

I do not think I would. Last year, Goodwin played really well once Jimmy G showed up. I really like him this year. I think holding onto him is the wise thing to do. When healthy, he is the #1 WR. Golladay and Enunwa are tempting, I have to admit.

I have Goodwin on 11 teams and Golladay and none. Depending on my situation, I would likely have dropped Goodwin for Golladay assuming I need at least a flex option. Didn't have that option as Golladay was not available in any of my leagues.
I wouldn't drop Goodwin for Enunwa though, unless I was super desparate. I don't think Enunwa has much of a ceiling compared to Goodwin. And I do like Enunwa, I picked him up/put in claims for him and I had him on my radar as a late round draft pick in deep leagues - wish I had taken him over Albert Wilson/Mike Wallace/Antonio Callaway at this point.

holy shit, is that a typo? You are in 11 (or more) fantasy football leagues?
I hate being in 3 because, for example, last week I had Brees in one league and played against him in 2 others. I had Jordan Reed in one and played against him in another.
I hate that.
Was that a typo or you just don't care, build the best team in each league that you can and run with it?
I don't like managing lineups and waivers of 3 teams, I couldn't do 11.
I admire and am sickened by you (meant as a compliment...mostly - unless that was a typo).
is Goodwin was around a 5th/6th round pick. for anyone who drafted Golladay he was very late and in many cases was a FA.
I liked Goodwin a lot coming in to the season, but didn't have a chance to draft him.
I got Golladay in a trade (along with Drew Brees for Davante Parker and Courtland Sutton - which I've written about on here - my league blew up with that one).
At this point Golladay is a "must own" IMO in most leagues, but not saying I'd drop Goodwin for him, but he's not likely still a FA in most leagues if he was one.
Juju is a lock for one spot. Need to pick 2 others:
Hilton vs. Washington
Golladay vs. SF
Godwin vs. Phi.
I think Golladay is a definite for one other spot, but I am actually contemplating putting Godwin in over Hilton based on matchup. Colts will throw a lot however, and I know he will get his targets. Am I overthinking this? Just feel that with Jackson likely out, Godwin may have a monster game.
I have him in .5 ppr and obv he has interest to the Bell owner.
He has AJ Green, Demarious and Chris Thompson - would it be crazy to ask for AJ & Thompson and then throw in a low level WR to him?

I'm up to 25 this year actually, which is probably the max I can handle. Will likely need to cut back by a couple next year.
I try to build the best team in each league, couldn't care less about who I'm playing against. I literally don't pay attention to my opponents until Monday when I look to see what games are still undecided.
Lineups/waivers are a bit of a pain. Most of my teams are either on Yahoo or NFFC by design. Makes it easier to keep it to just a couple of sites. I track my rosters in an excel spreadsheet and set my lineups up there - then I just have to go to the site to set it the way I did offline. Much more manageable.
The first couple of weeks of the season are the worst, as there's a lot more waiver activity to work through and just getting used to the whole process takes time. By week 3, it takes a lot less time as I have my routine down.
I have him in .5 ppr and obv he has interest to the Bell owner.
He has AJ Green, Demarious and Chris Thompson - would it be crazy to ask for AJ & Thompson and then throw in a low level WR to him?
I would suspect that the value of Conner to a Bell owner will widely vary. Some will be willilng to to ride it out until Bell returns and won't give you a lot, and some will be willing to give up a pretty decent return.
I would suggest sending the Bell owner an e-mail to try to get him to send you the first offer to see where he's at.

It’s not crazy to ask but I wouldn’t accept it. His value is high but hindered by the uncertainty of when Bell comes back. One thing is for sure though, his value won’t be any higher than it is today, every week that goes by is 1 week closer to him being a backup again.

Agree that the value to the other person will vary. What would you say the value of Conner would be if he was on your team, with the assumption he won't be playing after week 10, whether you have Bell or not
the Bell owner rejected Corey Davis (before last week's games). Which made some sense, he doesn't have any other WR's on his bench he could safely plug in and he thought he had a passable replacement in Rex Burkhead.
now Conner went off week 1, Burkhead is questionable with a concussion, and his options now are Tarik Cohen or TJ Yeldon 9and this is not PPR) - if Burkhead doesn't play.
I'd still offer him Conner only now I may ask for Thielen instead. Though I still like Corey Davis, especially without Delanie Walker in TEN.
once told me he was in that many leagues, and he wins a lot of them. I can't do it. that's a significant investment. With little ones I wonder if T-Bone cut back.
I'd likely want to keep Conner and ride him until Bell returns.
It's a balance. Keeping Conner will give you a much better chance of making the playoffs, but most likely won't help you come playoff time. Trading Conner may hurt you a little in the short term, but may ultimately help you in the playoffs if you get the right player(s) in return.
If you think you're a playoff team easily without Conner then it makes sense to trade him. If not, you should probably keep him unless someone blows you away with an offer.

He's also unlikely to put up another 100+ 2 TD game!

I have 2 little ones, I just have plan my time so that I am doing things when they are asleep or make sure I get things set early so I'm not screwed if they need me when a waiver deadline is about to hit.
really only want to be in 1 but couldn’t turn down the BBI league. My work league fucking sucks. 10 teams and only starts 1 flex which means I have a bench full of players I want to use. Don’t care about that league at all.
I picked him up in my league that gives a point for every ten return yards because he returns both kickoffs and punts for the Bills and is #2 behind Lesean McCoy on the depth chart. I could see him leapfrogging McCoy before the season is over (especially if/when the shit hits the fan re: the woman living in his house who got robbed).

I think YAJ's advice is great...to try to get the Bell owner to offer first. However, as a guy who owns Conner in multiple leagues, I am riding this out. I have not lost in any league I own Conner. While I know there is an expiration date on Conner as a valuable fantasy asset, I am rolling with him until Bell comes back. If that's just this week, I expect to be 2-0 and I will gladly take that. If that's 4 weeks, or 6 weeks or 9 weeks...it's difficult to imagine not making the playoffs with the wins I expect to pile up having Conner in the lineup every week. I'll worry about replacing his production later, obviously I had a pretty good lineup before adding Conner and so I expect to be fine. But either way, I don't see how I could get full value for Conner in a trade for the advantage he gives me weekly right now. Every week he plays I'm punching my playoff ticket. This is a gift that you have him on your roster...I know everything is relative to return but who is going to give you A.J. Green plus when Conner is destined to go back to a backup role at some point this year?

I'm also in 3, and the BBI league is one, and that's just 25 friendship points, so it's less on the line and my goal there is not to pull an Arc (an 0 - 13 season). I just can't pay as much attention to it as my other leagues.
Is he worth keeping on a roster that already includes OBJ, Tate, Golladay, Lockett, and Allison? I'm not reading anything good about him in KC. They spent a lot of money on him but he only got 5 targets last week and I'm thinking he's going to go down as a costly mistake on Reid's part. They will try to do a better job of getting him the ball, but he'll never be a guy you can trust in fantasy football.
At least that's what I'm telling myself after I dropped him for Marcus Murphy!
but I also don’t like him either. That’s the worst kind of fantasy player to have, unfortunately. I’d give it another couple weeks then drop him if he’s not really going to be utilized enough. And we all know as the season goes on the chances of him getting hurt increase exponentially.
Ajayi and AP. Collins is going to have some tough sledding in Cincinatti, I think. AP has such a choice matchup against the Colts, and Ajayi got more work then I thought he would. If Ajayi is getting 15 plus carries every game, I'm playing him. He's a great talent and really should be looked at as a high end RB2 similar to Jordan Howard as long as he's getting volume...he's definitely their goal line hammer and he's running great, I expect he gets another score this week.
RE: What are your expectations for Sammy Watkins? Â

At least that's what I'm telling myself after I dropped him for Marcus Murphy!
Watkins was the third best receiver last year after Robert Woods and the rookie Cooper Kupp. He's a fantastic talent, I think he's going to have some good games and he's going to have some stinkers. I don't trust him, and I avoid him. I'd rather have Golladay and guys that are going to give me more consistency than a guy who is uber-talented but with no consistency. I think it's fine to drop him but I wouldn't have done it for Murphy at this point.
Nick Chubb for Marquise Goodwin? Someone just dropped him for Tyrod Taylor. I will likely need to put in a claim.
I have at WR: Davante Adams, Diggs, Cobb, Kupp, and Mike Williams.
At RB: 'Zeke, Mixon, Conner, Tevin Coleman, Aaron Jones, and Chubb.
My hesitation is that Hyde is injury prone and I expect at some point this season, one way or another, Chubb is going to be the lead dog in that backfield and I think he's an absolute stud.
I can also drop my backup TE in Jonnu Smith but I really should have him as insurance to injury as TE is thin on free agency in this league, or in case Trey Burton (my starter) is an absolute bust (unlikely, but there's a chance).
Ravens at Bengals tonight. Let me start by saying this: I am a Joe Mixon guy. I think he has every bit of talent as the elite group of RBs, like Gurley and 'Zeke. At minimum he is close to them. I can see him winning a rushing title, or multiple rushing titles. I like him in the pass game, too. REALLY nice game week 1 against the Colts with 97 yards on 17 carries and a score, while adding 54 yards on 5 catches (people haven't caught on that he's going to be a big factor in the pass game this year yet). Mixon also saw some third down work, on the rare occasions the Colts defense got the Bengals to third down. Snap counts went 42 to Mixon, 14 to Gio Bernard.
All that said, I am really cautious about Mixon tonight vs the Ravens. It might be unfair because it was his very first pro game and a small sample, but Mixon went 9 yards on 8 carries against the Ravens at home. In Baltimore, in week 17, he was much better, rumbling for 96 yards on 18 carries, over a 5 yard average. And even though Buffalo is an absolute dumpster fire, the Ravens held LeSean McCoy to just 22 yards on 7 totes in week 1.
I would still play him given all that, except this is a short week. Does Marvin Lewis limit him at all? My natural inclination at this early juncture in the season is they will treat the work load as normal.
I could move Mixon to my bench and move James Conner from my flex to the RB2 spot...and then moving Cooper Kupp (love him this week) to my flex or Tevin Coleman IF Freeman is out.
But somehow, that all seems like over-managing. If you are a Mixon owner, tonight will be a great game to watch as a bellweather for Mixon's value and usage this season. I think it's already a done deal that Mixon will get an elite number of touches this season, in that 320-360 range in terms of carries plus receptions. If you grabbed him in your draft, I virtually high-five you, I think this is going to be a BIG year for him.
Gio might get a few more touches to try to reduce the workload on a short week, but I think Mixon gets more than enough touches to be worth being in your lineup.
If you're really that nervous about Fournette's role, I could see going Yeldon (who will get touches/catches either way). But I'd rather go Fournette if he's starting.

On the plus side with Bell, he should be fresh come playoff time which with his upside is when I really want him. Just have to get there first.

Lineups/waivers are a bit of a pain. Most of my teams are either on Yahoo or NFFC by design. Makes it easier to keep it to just a couple of sites. I track my rosters in an excel spreadsheet and set my lineups up there - then I just have to go to the site to set it the way I did offline. Much more manageable.
The first couple of weeks of the season are the worst, as there's a lot more waiver activity to work through and just getting used to the whole process takes time. By week 3, it takes a lot less time as I have my routine down.
He has AJ Green, Demarious and Chris Thompson - would it be crazy to ask for AJ & Thompson and then throw in a low level WR to him?
I would suspect that the value of Conner to a Bell owner will widely vary. Some will be willilng to to ride it out until Bell returns and won't give you a lot, and some will be willing to give up a pretty decent return.
I would suggest sending the Bell owner an e-mail to try to get him to send you the first offer to see where he's at.

It’s not crazy to ask but I wouldn’t accept it. His value is high but hindered by the uncertainty of when Bell comes back. One thing is for sure though, his value won’t be any higher than it is today, every week that goes by is 1 week closer to him being a backup again.

Agree that the value to the other person will vary. What would you say the value of Conner would be if he was on your team, with the assumption he won't be playing after week 10, whether you have Bell or not
now Conner went off week 1, Burkhead is questionable with a concussion, and his options now are Tarik Cohen or TJ Yeldon 9and this is not PPR) - if Burkhead doesn't play.
I'd still offer him Conner only now I may ask for Thielen instead. Though I still like Corey Davis, especially without Delanie Walker in TEN.
It's a balance. Keeping Conner will give you a much better chance of making the playoffs, but most likely won't help you come playoff time. Trading Conner may hurt you a little in the short term, but may ultimately help you in the playoffs if you get the right player(s) in return.
If you think you're a playoff team easily without Conner then it makes sense to trade him. If not, you should probably keep him unless someone blows you away with an offer.

He's also unlikely to put up another 100+ 2 TD game!
I have 2 little ones, I just have plan my time so that I am doing things when they are asleep or make sure I get things set early so I'm not screwed if they need me when a waiver deadline is about to hit.

I think YAJ's advice is great...to try to get the Bell owner to offer first. However, as a guy who owns Conner in multiple leagues, I am riding this out. I have not lost in any league I own Conner. While I know there is an expiration date on Conner as a valuable fantasy asset, I am rolling with him until Bell comes back. If that's just this week, I expect to be 2-0 and I will gladly take that. If that's 4 weeks, or 6 weeks or 9 weeks...it's difficult to imagine not making the playoffs with the wins I expect to pile up having Conner in the lineup every week. I'll worry about replacing his production later, obviously I had a pretty good lineup before adding Conner and so I expect to be fine. But either way, I don't see how I could get full value for Conner in a trade for the advantage he gives me weekly right now. Every week he plays I'm punching my playoff ticket. This is a gift that you have him on your roster...I know everything is relative to return but who is going to give you A.J. Green plus when Conner is destined to go back to a backup role at some point this year?
I'm also in 3, and the BBI league is one, and that's just 25 friendship points, so it's less on the line and my goal there is not to pull an Arc (an 0 - 13 season). I just can't pay as much attention to it as my other leagues.
At least that's what I'm telling myself after I dropped him for Marcus Murphy!
I'd say Ajayi & AP - not a huge Collins fan
Ajayi and AP. Collins is going to have some tough sledding in Cincinatti, I think. AP has such a choice matchup against the Colts, and Ajayi got more work then I thought he would. If Ajayi is getting 15 plus carries every game, I'm playing him. He's a great talent and really should be looked at as a high end RB2 similar to Jordan Howard as long as he's getting volume...he's definitely their goal line hammer and he's running great, I expect he gets another score this week.
At least that's what I'm telling myself after I dropped him for Marcus Murphy!
Watkins was the third best receiver last year after Robert Woods and the rookie Cooper Kupp. He's a fantastic talent, I think he's going to have some good games and he's going to have some stinkers. I don't trust him, and I avoid him. I'd rather have Golladay and guys that are going to give me more consistency than a guy who is uber-talented but with no consistency. I think it's fine to drop him but I wouldn't have done it for Murphy at this point.
I have at WR: Davante Adams, Diggs, Cobb, Kupp, and Mike Williams.
At RB: 'Zeke, Mixon, Conner, Tevin Coleman, Aaron Jones, and Chubb.
My hesitation is that Hyde is injury prone and I expect at some point this season, one way or another, Chubb is going to be the lead dog in that backfield and I think he's an absolute stud.
I can also drop my backup TE in Jonnu Smith but I really should have him as insurance to injury as TE is thin on free agency in this league, or in case Trey Burton (my starter) is an absolute bust (unlikely, but there's a chance).
All that said, I am really cautious about Mixon tonight vs the Ravens. It might be unfair because it was his very first pro game and a small sample, but Mixon went 9 yards on 8 carries against the Ravens at home. In Baltimore, in week 17, he was much better, rumbling for 96 yards on 18 carries, over a 5 yard average. And even though Buffalo is an absolute dumpster fire, the Ravens held LeSean McCoy to just 22 yards on 7 totes in week 1.
I would still play him given all that, except this is a short week. Does Marvin Lewis limit him at all? My natural inclination at this early juncture in the season is they will treat the work load as normal.
I could move Mixon to my bench and move James Conner from my flex to the RB2 spot...and then moving Cooper Kupp (love him this week) to my flex or Tevin Coleman IF Freeman is out.
But somehow, that all seems like over-managing. If you are a Mixon owner, tonight will be a great game to watch as a bellweather for Mixon's value and usage this season. I think it's already a done deal that Mixon will get an elite number of touches this season, in that 320-360 range in terms of carries plus receptions. If you grabbed him in your draft, I virtually high-five you, I think this is going to be a BIG year for him.
