NFT: FFB 9/14

as for your question Shep and Carson are fine, but I just have a feeling about Godwin this week for some reason.

and I'd probably lean Cole over Shepard. I actually like Godwin a little more than both, but wouldn't want to play 2 Bucs.

Out of curiousity, why FFB and not just FF? Afraid people will think it's a Fantasy Field Hockey thread? I think you and superspy are the only people I've ever seen use FFB and not FF.

Kenyon Drake vs Jets or Royce Freeman vs Oak?

which 2nd wr?
Jones Jr vs SF or Funchess vs ATL?

I'll go Freeman barely over Drake and Starvin Marvin by a wide margin over Bunches o Funchess

.

I had the Raven's D, and my opponent had A.J. Green. Off the bat, 3 receptions, 3 TDs. What?! That was crazy bad.

I guess this is what I get for having a crazy good result last weekend. A correction to the mean. yea

Haha, i think i just saw the last thread posted and used the same title. No reason in particular.

I'd go Freeman here. WR is a toss up honestly.

And you guys got me overthinking this now, thanks :)

one of the guys in my league named his team the Saquad Squad.

I can't seem to think of anything good myself.

show me the money!

Jordan Howard
Chris Thompson
Tevin Coleman

Right now I'm going Howard and Thompson but if Devonta Freeman ends up missing Sunday, should I swap Coleman and Thompson?

so I’d start him over Thompson.

Fantasy name - Saquontum Leap

Helps me out after scoring the least amount of points last week.

I chose to stay away from ATL players though as I hate their OC, he frustrated the shit out of me last year, and continues to do so this year.

I have Saquon but he's a tough one to create a fantasy name around. I came up with one that I like and haven't seen used. Sip'n on Ginn and JuJu (could use Guice too if if he is on your IR), makes me chuckle.

Full PPR, would anyone consider playing Godwin if Jackson is out over Hilton this week?

Need to stash one in a standard league. Don't need either now, thinking down the road. KC could be a high-scoring team, and they paid Watkins a lot. Will Watkins see enough targets is a concern.

Godwin vs Phi over Hilton? Hilton all day.

Jeffery

God Save the Quon

Your two should be Godwin and Carson, IMO

Yes, if no Freeman, play Coleman. Otherwise Howard and Thompson.

I like Freeman as well, until they stop with this ridiculous usage of More. Jones Jr also.

Fixed it.

was offered the following trade.

Royce Freeman and Jonnu Smith

for

D Funchess and J Doyle

Freeman will only crack my lineup on injuries and byes. This trade would help me now, but I kinda feel like I might be selling low on him. Thoughts? Good enough value for Freeman?

BTW Jonnu Smith is going to be a good option for you, it's possible he outpoints Doyle this year. And I do like Doyle, but there shouldn't be much of a drop-off if any from Walker to Smith.

officially out.

Tevin Coleman elevates to a low end RB1 IMO.

And in one league I can't play him. I would have considered benching Mixon if I knew Coleman was going to start. But I have Zeke in my other RB spot and Conner in the flex, so there is no way I can bench either of those guys for Coleman. Another reason I hate TNF.

I do love Coleman, especially at home, but against Carolina it's not the ideal matchup anyway. I'd still play him in the flex if it's between him and guys like Crowell, Burkhead (assuming he plays), Drake, Wilkins, Jamaal Williams, or even Marshawn Lynch. He's an ideal flex this week, with RB1 numbers upside.

I think Lockett has a little more upside with Baldwin out. What do you guys think?

Lockett @CHI Monday night
Watkins @PIT

Drop Calvin Ridley for Geronimo Allison??? Just trying to beef up my depth, I don't need to make this move and can hang on to Ridley to wee what happens with him throughout the season.

I’ve got Mahomes, Eli, and Matt Ryan.

Obviously start Mahomes.

Eli or Ryan??

Absolutely play Lockett. I would also pick up Allison over Ridley but you might wait one additional week to see if Ridley gets more looks. I wouldn't get rid of Ridley in Dynasty or leagues with a lot of keepers.

Ryan at home, even though Eli plays well at Dallas usually. Got to go Ryan.

Cant count on our offense to be reliable enough put up big points with the talent we have quite yet....

That was my initial lean, but I’m bitter about how tremendously frustrating Ryan has been (I had him last year, too). Freeman being out should hopefully tilt the run/pass mix a little more in my favor, too.

Thanks Jim, standard redraft PPR league here.... I do hesitate to drop Ridley because years ago, rookies Calvin Johnson and OBJ didn't put up numbers until the later in the season. Like you said, I think I will wait one week just to see if things change with Ridley. Then go from there.

The #Bengals fear RB Joe Mixon will need arthroscopic surgery to clean up the knee he injured in last night’s win over the #Ravens and miss some time, sources tell @MikeGarafolo and me. He’ll get a second opinion first.

I believe these kind of cleanups typically have 2-4 week timetables. Definitely a bummer, especially since I dropped Bernard for Conner before the season started. Fingers crossed for the second opinion.

Quote:

Bengals’ RB Joe Mixon has a small particle in his knee that was dislodged Thursday night and is scheduled to be removed with a procedure Saturday, per source. The procedure is expected to sideline Mixon two weeks, per source.

Still stinks but could've been worse I guess.

I lost Mixon and McKinnon.

My 1st and 2nd round picks in my keeper league (Mixon just for a couple weeks, but Fuck).

In a different league the Mixon owner lost Olsen and someone else already, he's hurting.

I have a surplus at RB.

Would this be a laughable trade for me to propose (non-PPR).

I send James Conner and Jarvis Landry for Julio Jones and Enunwa.

0% chance the guy says yes, imo.

McCaffrey and Landry for Jones and Mixon?

Closer?

If it's PPR, that's closer but I still think I'd decline. To me McCaffrey and Mixon are pretty close in value once Mixon gets back, and the two-week (hopefully) injury to Mixon doesn't really make up for the gap between Jones and Landry. Much closer than the Conner offer though. If he's really hurting to replace Mixon he might bite.

The only player that I remember getting back in 2 weeks from a cartilage removal was Marshall Faulk and I believe it was later in the season in must win games. Most guys miss 3-4. I don't know why the Bengals would rush a young RB back in 2 weeks, but hey, it's the Bengals.
