Ok, that was a disaster of a week for me.
I lost Mixon, I lost K's in two leagues and I went 0 - 3.
So the question is FAAB.
How big do I go in on Gio Bernard?
I lost McKinnon and Mixon and Gio a FA.
Right now my RB 1 is Adrian Peterson.
I am also considering trading Beckham for a RB1 because I have decent WR depth.
So it's just:
I send:
Beckham
I get:
James Conner
Lamar Miller
Robert Woods
I would add some garbage from my roster because I'd have to drop players otherwise but would you do this?
it's basically Beckham for Miller and Conner as long as Conner is still the guy.
seems light for Beckham.
Agreed. Everyone should spend the majority of their budget in the first few weeks when the real difference makers become available.
Most leagues I agree, keeper leagues not so much.
I didn't buy high on anyone, Beckham was a 4th round keeper, Miller was drafted in the 3rd.
Sure, Beckham would have likely gone in the 2nd round of this draft if he wasn't kept, but he was a keeper and next year while he has some keeper value, I have other players with more.

a guy you pick up after week 1 that you use for 15 weeks or a guy you pick up in week 10 when you might not even make the playoffs?

Why is a keeper league different? A dynasty league maybe, but a league where you're keeping 1 or 2 players? Unless you're team just sucks, you likely have your keepers already on your roster and aren't likely to find the next Alvin Kamara on waivers.
If you're 0-2 and you have to win now and you just lost Mixon, then you should be easily dropping 20+% on him.

Kamara was waived in the BBI league last year (not a keeper league but he was waived).
I already gave you Tyreek Hill and DeShaun Watson.
In 2014 I got Beckham off waivers week 4 and he became an 8th round keeper for me in 2015 and 4th round keeper in 2016.
I got David Johnson off waivers a few years ago.
Jordan Howard off waivers a couple years ago.
Every year, around week 4 or 5 a rookie RB or WR (sometimes a 2nd/3rd year guy, but usually a rookie) establishes themselves as a legit roster-able player and in many cases a keeper candidate.
In my league anyone you get off waivers is an 8th round keeper, and if you look every year 8th round is where almost half the keepers come from. Not all those guys are rookies, some are injured players who get waived, but in either case history shows there will be a handful of rookies not on rosters week 2 who go off this year.

1'm 1 - 1, and week 1 I set the record for points in a week ever in this league.

So then identify who those guys are and grab them BEFORE they go off and cost you an arm and a leg.
I drafted Courtland Sutton, Michael Gallup, I even had Keke Coutee on my roster.
I think Kenny Golladay could be it this year and I traded for him.
Ronald Jones is available.
Calvin Ridley and DJ Moore are on roster, but could be dropped.
Anthony Miller has been dropped, Nick Chubb has been dropped.
Nyheim Hines is available, Christian Kirk is available, Dante Pettis is available.
I'm referring to trading OBJ. derp

well, then you are right on!
Depends on the player. I see a lot of pts get wasted early because people are trying to find that guy. Either way, I like when guys spend $40 on a 2 week fill in.
Strongly disagree. FIrst off, 0-2 means nothing. If you throw 40 pts on Gio because you are 0-2, then you just panicked. 0-2 means nothing in FF. I love when guys splurge on pts early because they think they have to.
That's the beauty of the FAAB with free agents, anyone can get any player.....unless you don't have the budget.

it depends on your situation. If that fill-in buys you 2 wins, than it's worth it. If he's just going to ride your bench, then not so much.

Well, I'm glad I splurged my $10 on Kamara in week 2 last season while you saved your $ so you could get Matt Ryan for $50 (outbidding the next bid by $40 mind you) in December.
You gonna sponsor me?
Probably not Washington but James is a solid add either way. Without targets going to Bell his value increases.
Peyton Barber isn't exactly killing it, does anyone think in the next few weeks Rojo cracks the lineup?
never said he will, nor did I pick up Kamara knowing he would become Kamara. 2 completely different types of moves. Bidding on Gio is buying time until something better comes along. Bidding on Kamara was a speculation on getting something bigger down the road. I bring Kamara up because it shows the kind of move you need to make so you don't have big $ to spend later in the year.
Aside from your pickup of Ryan, the highest bid all season on a player last year was $26 on Lat Murray after Cook went down. Second highest was $25 on Samaje Perine.
My current WR's are Michael Thomas, Corey Davis, Tyler Lockett, Nelson Agholor, Michael Gallup and Crabtee. The only reason I'm considering keeping Gallup over Crabtree is because he is keepable. Although, that one plus in Gallup's favor is diminishing with his lack of targets.
What do you think? Thanks

Cut loose the Ravens, that Chicago D is an every week start.
If you really want to keep both, then I'd say cut Gallup unless you're sure that Gallup is someone you are keeping.
QB: Stafford, Luck
RB: Barkley, McCaffrey Conner, Collins, Ingram
WR: Hilton, Evans, Landry, M. Williams
TE: Njoku, Cook
I'd like to put in a claim (no FAAB in this league) for Gio or Cole but really don't see who to drop unless I cut bait on Njoku and roll with Cook at TE (lost Delanie Walker).
Or would you roll with this team as is and not bother with Gio or Cole.
This exercise is probably moot anyway. I am number 10 out of 12 on the waiver wire list. Someone else in my league will probably snag the Bears before me. But you never know.
Thanks again

that team doesn't need Gio at all. Cole would be a nice get, but I don't see anyone you'd want to cut. I think you need to have both Njoku and Cook until Njoku breaks out finally. I suppose you could dump Cook for Cole, and then see if you can trade for a better TE.
I don't think that Mixon timetable is that aggressive. Seen other examples of guys coming back in 2 weeks from that procedure. With his RB depth, he will never need Gio even if Mixon extends out to 4 weeks.
I am a little flummoxed. I have Saquon, Dalvin, Jordan Howard, Joe Mixon, Sony Michel, and Aaron Jones on roster right now. I am going to have to take Jones out of the IR spot soon with nowhere to put him, or just drop him.
I do not want to lose any of the other RBs in favor of Jones.
I am thinking of offering Howard and Jones (the guy is also a Packers fan) for Bell, and crossing fingers. I can also throw in a draft pick, but we'll see what he says first.
I don't trust Bell, though. Although, late season with fresh legs he could carry me to a title.
Right now I'm pretty pissed off with Nagy's use (or lack thereof) of Jordan Howard, particularly how he gets cute down by the goal line (but so far it's working for him, sigh).
I think I'm going to make the offer. On the bad side, if this trade is accepted, I will only have Saquon and Dalvin as playable options at RB, with Michel as the emergency back in a standard scoring league, while Mixon gets healthy and I wait for Bell to report.
Anyone think this trade is a terrible idea?
Quote:
this Mixon timetable is already fairly aggressive. Once he returns he has to then prove he can handle a full load. It could linger all season.

It’s still aggressive despite other case studies, especially 2 weeks. My point is that he doesn’t need either player but I’d rather my opponent have Njoku than Bernard over the next month.
Sometimes the best moves made in fantasy are those that keep good players away from other teams. Njoku is boom/bust for me until proven otherwise.
I told him he was high...Bell's value has taken a significant hit so he said he'll consider it more. I doubt we'll get a deal done if that's where he's at.
Other RB's are Fournette, Lamar Miller and MarShawn Lynch.

You keep him on the team until he comes back or until you can get a good return for him via trade. Why didn't you handcuff with Conner knowing he was holding out?

That would have been the smart move, but my WR's were pretty weak (picked up Jeffery, and knew he would be out) . I wanted to concentrate on that position on the backend, since I went RB RB with the first two picks.
I'm not sure he's even worth holding a roster spot for 7 weeks!
