I had a mediocre draft, then traded my second best RB a day before the AP news came out. So after week 1 had weak RBs and decent WRs. So i traded a WR to get some RB depth.

Ran into Hilton in one league. Uphill battle. Will need somebody to go nuts to get close to washing that out. We have bonuses at 100 and 150 so he scored 43.

Started Bradshaw in my other league. Another solid game from him.

Yeah, I went up against Luck in one league, and I was already projected to lose by a narrow margin. I had Bradshaw playing, so I'm hopeful that I can have someone go off and narrow the gap now.

I have Hilton in 2 of my leagues. I wanted to trade him for Frank Gore, but the other guy wanted E. Sanders. Hoping last night sways him...

If I can make the trade:
RBs - Gore, Charles (Stacy)
WRs - Sanders, Jeffery, Patterson, (Hawkins, Gordon)

I'm 1-4, so need to do something. We starts 2 RBs and 3 WRs and a FLEX. My WRs would be weakened, but if I can survive till Gordon comes back, I'll have a great team.

WRs wouldn't even be that bad. I'm in the same boat, I just need to make the playoffs so I can use Gordon.

Nice!

Yeah, hopefully he ends up buying high on Hilton now, though Hilton does have a big upside with Luck under center.

Jeffery has good potential, and allegedly, Patterson is a focal point of the offensive coaching, so he could see a bump in production, too. You might be better off after that trade than you think, even without Gordon.

Same here,although I do have the added benefit of being able to keep Gordon for at worst an 8th round pick next year.

I should have added I have decent fill ins at RB (TRich, Hillman, Oliver), the latter 2 will be pretty useless when the starters get healthy, but Gore solidifies my situation week in week out.

And he just accepted, after initially rejecting Hilton saying he would consider if no one else offered anything. Lol, 12 hours later...

Glad Hilton went beast mode last night. I don't like giving up someone who is regularly getting 10 looks a game with a top 5 QB throwing to him, but Luck just doesn't utilize him in the RedZone.

Yeah, it was a good call based on your needs. I don't think you lose THAT much upside with Jeffery, and if the Vikes finally get CPatt instituted as a cornerstone of the offense, you might not end up missing Hilton much. Naturally, that's still an "if," but it's better than having someone with no upside.

I have Luck as my QB, which was good for 32 points, too bad my opponent had Hilton (34 points)

I'm fucked and it's only Friday

I'd definitely play DJax over Vereen...I never trust a Pats RB. I'm just hoping Jax can hit a homer against Zona otherwise I can see him getting shut down.

So, I encouraged a coworker to start Bridgewater over Flacco.

I put the over/under for things he puts in my coffee this week at 3.5.

Same here. Only way I go 3-0 is if Odell Beckham goes absolutely insane, but Maclin and Cruz don't do much.

I could go 3-0, 0-3, 1-2, or 2-1 lol. All scenarios are just as likely (unlikely) as the others. Kind of odd.

Projected to win by 40 in 2 and lose by 40
in one.

I've won in my big money league this week. Huge win for me to move to 3-3. Forte and Murray continue to just dominate for me.

So, my first 3 picks in this year's draft were Peterson, AJ Green, Murray, and Kyle Rudolph (TEs big in our league).

2 of those 4 are out indefinitely, and AJ Green has literally played in 3 out of 6 games (2 out for injury, 1 bye) and probably won't play next week either.

I am losing (2-4) but managing to stay up in total points (currently tied for 2nd). My WRs are in shambles but my QB/RB/K/Defense have been good (I picked up Oliver from SD and he had a huge game yesterday).

My lineup right now...

Starters
QB-Ryan
RB-Murray
RB-Oliver (until Mathews comes back)
WR-Michael Floyd
WR-DeAndre Hopkins
TE-Kelce
K-Bailey
D-Eagles

Bench
QB-Cutler
RB-Ellington
RB-Peterson (holding on for hopes he might play come playoffs)
WR-Green (until he is back)
WR-K. Allen
WR-K. Wright
TE-Donnell
K-Bryant
D-Patriots

Yes, we are required to keep a backup K and backup D on our bench.


I have been thinking of trading Murray to get a good WR and a good RB, maybe something like Murray/Hopkins for B. Marshall/J. Charles? Do you think the owner would take that since Charles has been dealing with an ankle injury all year and Marshall has been subpar for himself this year?
