lol...

my te was kyle Rudolph and I needed someone to play. I saw the NYG te Donnell had been doing well and was available. I picked him up and threw him in the lineup over Clay. He has 3 TDs as a TE tonight...that is huge in our league. He has 45 PTs tonight.

The fantasy gods were obviously smiling on me this season, as I am catching the team with Peyton Manning on his bye this week. At least, I thought that's what the fantasy gods were smiling at, until I realized tonight that they were really just laughing at me since the guy played Eli Manning as a bye-week fill-in... :RpS_angry:

Fuck yeah I would make that trade, although that can't be a 12 team league right?

When proposing trade options, make sure you say how many owners in the league. It makes a major difference.

It has to be some type of keeper league or an 8 team league lol. Unless he did some type of trade earlier I just don't know how someone would get Graham, Murray, Ball, and Jeffery from drafting unless there are a bunch of idiots in the league.

As for the trade I'd do it just for the fact that you have someone good to replace Foles at QB.

I'd probably go with your last option. Randle and then plan on Marshall, keeping Wright in line if Marshall doesn't go for some reason.
Went with Randle. It's PPR so he got almost 17. Could have been a huge night. The almost TD that turned an INT and another play where we was tackled at the 2.

Back to back games for Randle with 10 targets. He could be emerging...

Good call. Just not high on Kendall Wright right now with that hot mess of a QB situation in TEN.

O-Trap;1657589 wrote:Okay, I've got a TE question for this week.

Cameron is on a bye, and I have him in one league. The TE pool is pretty slim on the waiver wire (I've got Austin Seferian-Jenkins right now as a backup), and Seferian-Jenkins has a Questionable tag. Plus, he's a dark horse anyway, and he's coming off missing two weeks.

Here's what is sitting on the waiver wire:
Anthony Fasano (KC) - Kelce seems to be getting the passing looks this year, and Fasano is mostly blocking.
Levine Toilolo (ATL) - His targets have declined since week 1, and he got zero red zone targets despite the obscene amount of scoring Atlanta did.
Eric Ebron (DET) - Only got one target last year. The upside, however, is that Fauria is listed as 'Out', and Pettigrew has only gotten one target in each of the first three games.
Brandon Pettigrew (DET) - 3 targets in 3 games. WTF?
Andrew Quarless (GB) - He WAS targeted 5 times last week and snagged a TD, but he hasn't eclipsed 4 catches or 50 yards yet this season.
Scott Chandler (BUF) - He did have a decent day last week, with 5 catches for 74 yards on 5 targets. However, prior to that, he only had 3 targets on the season.
Brandon Meyers (TB) - He has had 5+ looks in two of their three games, but the yardage is disproportionately low ... hilariously so. Still, this is a PPR league.


I know that's a lot of options, but the TE waiver wire is one big factory of sadness. I'm leaning toward Meyers, Chandler, Quarless, or Ebron. What do you think?
Anyone care to shed some light on the steaming pile of this?

It's ugly. I was in a similar spot with Reed injured and my backup Rudolph getting hurt. Went with Fleener. Doesn't sound like an option for you.

I think Quarless has the best shot for a TD. Myers and Chandler for the most targets. I don't think Ebron is a good option.

Flip a 3 headed coin. Gun to my head...I go Chandler.

How's everyone doing?

I'm in a weird game. I could win with only one player above 10 points.

I'm currently down 5 with witten tonight and vereen tomorrow. My opponent has Ridley.

It's basically up to Bill billechek lol

I'm likely to lose two of the three games this week. I have Peyton Manning, Emmanuel Sanders, and Michael Floyd on those teams. I put Teddy Bridgewater in to pinch-hit for Manning, and he did respectably (but how did he manage 300 yards passing with 0 TDs? WTF, Teddy?).

If Brandin Cooks goes bonkers, I could still win in one of the leagues I'm planning on losing in.

As for the league in which I'm going to win, I did have Nick Foles (yikes!), but I had Randall Cobb, Forte, Alfred Morris, Eric Ebron (the TE I went with), Bradshaw, and Lavonte David (IDP). So even with Foles laying an egg, I'm probably going to get the high score of the week in that league.

I've already won my big league this week.

Due to the weird setup of the league I have a friend who is going to lose this week even though his WRs went off and got a ton of points. He going to lose since he didn't give himself a chance to sub out a WR for a RB for the Sunday night game. We start 1 WR, 1 RB, and 3 Flex. He's got Dez playing in his WR spot lol. I always make sure to have my WR and RB playing as early as possible just in case I need to sub a WR or RB in the flex. He was so pissed when he realized he was going to lose late in the 4th quarter of the 4pm games. Even worse the dude he is going to lose to is going to be 4-0 now and the guy is a complete donk who doesn't pay attention to his team and autodrafted his team.
