NFT: FF Waiver Night

who cares about the picks for fantasy. He's going to force throws to Thomas and dump anything off to Kamara which can be TD's at any moment. Plus they play Atlanta so that'a a great matchup.

Play your studs. There has been a lot of talk about Brees losing arm strength. Winston should be able to throw downfield better than Brees. And he is more careless with the turnovers, so I expect closer games

Man...I went winless (0-4) this weekend for the first time in years. R.Wilson getting 10 points in two leagues and Mahomes being on bye in two leagues (had C.Wentz and R.Tannehill in my other two leagues) totally screwed me over. Then of course all of my players underperformed to the point that I set season low points in three of my four leagues.

It's going to be another rough week with W.Gallman being on bye and J.Taylor looking like a #3 RB on the Colts in both of those leagues.

Winston at QB. He loves to go to his best WR come hell or high water. Brees looks pretty shot at this point. The offense is just stacked and he’s a great decision maker so they are generating some things, but his all time accuracy has taken a dip.

for being interested in Taysom Hill as a Tight End? Kittle is hurt so I'm playing Jonnu Smith.

He only has QB eligibility in my Yahoo leagues, are you using a different provider than has him eligible at TE? I'd be hesitant to see how he's used with Winston but TE is such a shallow position it probably wouldn't hurt.

watching the Saints game Sunday, it seemed like Thomas wasn't himself. He didn't compete for balls that it seemed like he could have at least made an attempt at. Not sure if he's got lingering effects from the ankle injury or he's pissed he was suspended or I'm reading too much into it, but if you had a solid other option I'd think about sitting him. I'm not sitting him for a lottery ticket, but I'd definitely think about it if I had a better option.

If you need upside, it's definitely a good choice. I would expect Hill to get additional reps (he already has the past few weeks). If Winston gets injured/benched/mop-up duty, Hill is starting QB

If this is a 12 team, I'd rather be playing Smith.

Went wrong for me this week. Lost by .6 points due to the Foles sucking, never thought I’d be looking forward to Trubisky getting the job back, but ARob is so underutilized for being the only legit option in that offense.

AJones with another stinker, and Parker also getting the TD called back. Now there is news that AB is in some sort of trouble with his former homeowners association, sheesh. Need to hope Robinson, Julio and A Jones all step up and start playing to their draft status.

Yeah on ESPN he's a QB/TE.

12 team league PPR.

the team that lost these were my decisions that led to the loss. I lost by 10 points.

1. out of my hands, Brees is my backup while Mahomes is on bye - he sucked and missed the 2nd half

2. Evan Engram over Mark Andrews (difference - 10 points). I should be fired for this.

3. Will Fuller over DJ Moore (11 point difference) and Chase Claypool (13 point difference)

Any of those 3 decisions (not #1, I'll live with that), and I win.

Sometimes you lose because of luck, other times it's your own fault. This week it was the latter.

is close to a must start moving forward. They're force feeding him the ball near the red zone and he gets a healthy amount of targets regardless.

do you start and which flex (ppr)?

RBs: Cook, Jacobs, Sanders, Taylor, Ekeler, Moss
WRs: Allen, Fuller, Moore, Claypool

Right now I have:

Cook vs DAL
Jacobs vs KC
Sanders @CLE (flex)
Allen vs NYJ
Moore vs DET

So, I guess basically it comes down to WR2 of
Moore vs DET
Claypool @JAX
Fuller vs NE

Any suggestions?

I have 8 out of 12 Waiver priority. You think it would be wise to drop Corey Davis for Taysom Hill? I also have Michael Thomas, Tyreek Hill, DeVante Parker, D.J. Chark, and Allen Lazard at WR and with Conner, Swift, Edmonds, and Ronald Jones II at RB I doubt Davis is ever going to justify being the Flex role whereas if Hill is ever made the starting QB I potentially have 2 QB's in my Flex spots because Hill is TE eligible.

As far as league scoring, Joe Burrow is my current Superflex QB and he has the 2nd most points of any player on my roster despite being the 14th ranked QB (by 34 points over Tyreek Hill who his the 2nd ranked WR) so there is a definite QB bias.

I took a shot on him as my TE in ESPN league...got me a whopping 1.5 points. But he was only a stop gap while Kelce was on a bye and because I was supposed to win by 20+ points. Ended up losing by 10+ points...lol

Worth burning a high priority on? PPR, could use more depth as Green is droppable

he isn't in Yahoo nor should he be anywhere.

Pittman is IMO, he'll be the #1 in IND (and my league is a keeper league)

Beasley seems random (random good game more than consistently good)

No clue. It was enticing to use him since he has so many ways to get points, but he's definitely not consistently used. However, imagine if you have him as your TE, and then Winston goes down and he's called to play QB. That's a boon for high return from the TE position the way he's been used to run.

I'm 7-3 but the situation is dicey. I'm in 3rd place with 4 to make the playoffs. There are two 6-4 teams behind me and to be honest, I think both have better teams than me at the moment. I have the #1 waiver priority which I was saving for an impact RB to add due to major injury, i.e. Brian Hill if Gurley is out for the season.

I like to protect my waiver priority but have a sinking feeling that the time might be now to improve my tenuous RB depth. So please, I'm asking for opinions here.

My RBs: Melvin Gordon, Darrell Henderson, Gio Bernard, Jerick McKinnon, J.K. Dobbins, Zack Moss

This is a keeper league, and I will want to retain one of these RBs for next year, likely out of the Gordon, Dobbins, and Moss group, depending on how that's looking going into next year.

So I need to make a drop or two to make room and need advice on who I should blow my priority on if any. I'm thinking of dropping McKinnon, what say you guys? 49ers have a week 11 bye, and Mostert very likely returns week 12. JaMychal Hasty is out for the season. I am 50-50 on this one because it seems like McKinnon could be valuable in the playoffs if Mostert is re-injured.

I can't find anything on Mixon, but think Bernard is a decent drop. Any news on Mixon? Gio is @ Washington FT this week before a week 12 matchup vs our Giants. Not in love with either matchup though teams have been able to run on the Football Team with some mediocre success.

Thoughts on Moss? I only really like him as a speculative keep for next season, would rather hold him and see what happens in August of next year, but if required, I could also drop him.

Here is what is available on the wire:

Salvon Ahmed
Nyheim Hines (this is a standard scoring league)
Kalen Ballage

I'm not sure any of these guys are worth burning the #1 waiver priority on, but I'd feel good about Ahmed if he is going to be the guy still when Gaskins is healthy.

Any thoughts here?

It appears Damien Harris is available in another league, any thoughts on him? I'm concerned about usage and lack of goal line opportunities going forward but boy was he impressive vs Baltimore in the rain, and the expected return of Michel next week also further complicates the matter.

On ESPN, you'r can plug Hill in at TE. Unless you have Kelce or Waller, that's huge in a year where the average TE is terrible.

It is because ESPN sucks.. they are horrible with their fantasy software/system and just as bad in their fake sports news reporting.

I have to drop Goedert for Hill, but he's a high ceiling play for a "TE" in my ESPN league. I"m burning some mulla for this one me thinks. See how it pans out. GOedert and the eagles aint gonna do shit from here on out : )
