What I really need is a receiver to replace Nabors. I started out thinking I was in great shape at WR with Nabors and AJ Brown as my starters. They have helped with my 1 and 3 record. I have Egbuka replacing Brown because Im just done with Brown until something changes with the Eagles offense. Going to start Pittman as my other WR this week. I have Evans on IR and DK on the bye. Not much out their in terms of WR on the waiver wire. Dobbs is probably the best of what's there.

I'm not sure if I should blow my waiver position on him. I already have Saquan, Hampton, Javonte Williams, and Jaylen Warren at RB. I don't know if he'd be much better than what I have. That Texans offense is brutal and their line stinks. They won't play the Titans every week.

I guess it depends on if you think you'll find something better along the way. Yeah it's not the ideal team/offense to go all in on, but I do think he's going to settle into a 65ish% snap share which is what most lead backs give you nowadays, with his only competition an older guy coming off major injury. He's also looked really good running and catching.

So if you're in a shallow league where people drop good players dumbly, or you wanna bank on a premium backup taking a 80%+ snap share following and injury (Brian Robinson for SF, Corum for LA for example) I get it. I'm just worried that could be a lot of waiting for no payoff.

My claim for Woody Marks went through!

Week #5: D'Andre Swift is on Bye. I need a replacement RB #2: Kenny Walker III vs. Bucs or Woody Marks vs. Ravens?

Walker has been pretty good despite splitting work with Charbonnet. He is going against a good Bucs team that just held Saquon Barkley in check. Or do I go with the popular Woody Marks? Splitting work with Chubb, going against a reeling Ravens team?

If that's the case, save FAAB to bolster WR depth.

Darius Slayton is usually available. He is going to get a bunch of looks with Nabers gone for the season. You might also keep an eye on Malik Washington and Westbrook-Ikhine in Miami after Tyreek Hill's injury.

Not sure how good that offense is going to be. What about Diggs? Washed or ramping up after the injury?

Stefon Diggs isn't available in my league. He is the best WR the Pats got. But there isn't a lot of volume in the offense. He's ok I guess. Flex option.

i kind of want rashee rice. would you trade pollard & waddle for rashee & rj harvey?

I'd do that

Sorry about that! I didn't think the Cowboys were going to keep pace with the Packers! I said it was close.

It’s all good! Still won my matchup. Question, currently have Trey Benson and Omarion Hampton who have landed on IR. I still have CMC and Javonte I can start but only have Chase Brown and Brian Robinson Jr. on the bench. Looking to slightly improve my depth. Out of these 3 players how would you rank them? Kendre Miller, Kareem Hunt, Blake Corum. I also have 3 QBs, so if I snag one of those guys I would have to drop one. Which of these 3 would you drop out of Nix, Daniel Jones, and Jordan Love. I’m leaning Nix

I'd go Miller first for the potential. He is the next man up after Kamara. Hunt #2. He will show flashes, but the Chiefs play RBBC with Pacheco so I don't trust him. And I have no idea what the Rams plan to do with Corum. So I can't trust him either.

Any former Love owner will tell you he's only mediocre. Sell high after the Cowboys performance. I like the potential of Nix better.

Matt Stafford is out there and I have Puka. Out of these four, which two would you keep? Daniel Jones, Matt Stafford, Jordan Love, and Bo Nix

All 4 are in that QB2 tier... The two I'd go are Stafford and Jones. Stafford should be a popular streamer this week.

Start Sutton or Worthy this week? Now is your chance to redeem yourself from the Trey Benson pick lol

Also, part two… I’m a Chase Brown owner. Flacco trade has created a little buzz around him. Would you trade Brown for Jordan Mason and Woody Marks or wait and see if Flacco saves the day?

First none of these guys are a fantasy winner. Chase Brown is at best a flex option or the guy you play during your RB bye weeks. So if you can get any value for him in a trade, take it. But know what you are getting. Jordan Mason is a replacement for Aaron Jones on IR. Vikings have the bye this week. So you get nothing this week. Then Mason gets one more guaranteed start against the Eagles before Jones can be available Week 8. As for Woody Marks, the Texans haven't figured him out yet. He's good one week, then bad the next.... Also on bye this week.

I still think Chase Brown is the better value out of the three. But I don't think Flacco makes him any better; the OLine still stinks! So I can understand making a move if Brown is on your bench this week earning nothing, and you are looking for a better stash. Take Mason if you got James Cook or Derrick Mason on Bye Week 7. Take Woody Marks if you are looking for a lottery ticket in the playoffs later this season.

My RBs are CMC, Omarion Hampton, Javonte Williams, Trey Benson, Brian Robinson Jr., Kendre Miller and Chase Brown. I benched Brown early in the season because I was still in good shape without him. But now that Benson and Hampton are on IR, I was looking for some added insurance pieces that I could at least feel decent about if I had to start in a pinch. It's half PPR league, and the points you made were all valid and things I had already considered. Aaron Jones is a walking injury though, and I believe if they would give Marks the full time job he could provide some good value. Still on the fence about it though. I also don't know who I would drop to acquire both RBs. Would you take Mason for Brown straight up?

Sure. I think you are losing a little value. But Brown is just wasting away on the bench. So not a big loss.

Rico Dowdle, AJ Brown, or Pittman at the flex? I went into the season thinking I was solid with Brown and Nabors as my starting wideouts. I lucked out with Egbuka as a Brown replacement. Now he has to be a Nabors replacement, and I'm using Diggs who seems ot be back at the WR2. I think Brown could go off on the Giants tonight but after a rough start Ive been undefeated since benching Brown. Leaning Dowdle for this week.

What do people think of Olave? I wasn't a fan heading into the season, but he seems to have really solid numbers. Two TD's last week has given him a nice boost, but there is really good volume there. The has had 13, 10, 14, 6, 11, 10 and 7 targets. In the two games he has had under 10 targets he caught his TD's. I'm trying to find someone for my salary cap league and he is one that looks to be going under the radar with a high floor

I think everyone is afraid of Olave because Spencer Rattler doesn't look ready for prime-time yet, and the uncertainty at QB. But Olave is still putting up steady decent numbers. He won't win your week but he won't lose it for you either. Put him in there and take your 10 points per week.
