October 9, 2024Oct 9 I've traded Mahomes for Pollard in one league. I'll shop him in my other league as well
October 10, 2024Oct 10 The Love owner wanted him in the other league. He was happy to give me Love for Mahomes and Likely
October 11, 2024Oct 11 If Devin Singletary is out, got my weekly DFS question: Josh Jacobs, Trey Sermon, Colts D or Tracy, Tank Dell, Steelers D
October 11, 2024Oct 11 Jacobs and Sermon are both slated to start. But I am riding high on Tank Dell with Nico Collins on IR. Tracy is the handcuff to Singletary. He's only good if Singletary is out. So if Singletary is out I choose: Tracy, Dell, Steelers D.
October 11, 2024Oct 11 3 hours ago, Mat said: Who is worth more price wise out of Tracy and Sermon? Tracy is $200 cheaper. So I could swap him one for one in option A This is what my current lineup looks like QB: Cousins RB: Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard WRs: Zay Flowers, Terry McLaurin, Drake London TE: McBride Flex: Trey Sermon Def: Colts I really like Dell this week and was toying with trying to fit him in where I have the weakest link, thus my thought of trying to move him into the flex and take out Sermon. To your point, maybe Tracy for Sermon would be better and swap Dell in for one of the other WRs. Dell 6,700 is wile McLaurin is 6,800 and Flowers is 7,200 (I don't want to touch London, I like having a pass catcher to pair with my QB). So maybe QB: Cousins RB: Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard WRs: Zay Flowers, Tank Dell, Drake London TE: McBride Flex: Tracy Def: Colts Would be better? Also McLauren -> Dell and Sermon -> Tracy frees up $300 so I could swap Flowers for either Godwin or Higgins.

October 12, 2024Oct 12 A couple of thoughts If Dell is matched up with Gonzalez that is a bad fantasy matchup. The expectation is he will run with Diggs, but from what I read Gonzalez has destroyed guys this year. It's a risk, but with no Collins it may be worth taking for the upside. I like Tracy over Sermon. Tracy had a pretty great game last week and showed that he had burst that Sermon doesn't, plus if Richardson is back I would expect he limits his ceiling. Flowers against Washington is a decent matchup, although I feel like this will be a Henry heavy game with the Ravens in front. Rookie QB vs the Ravens may not end well and I don't know if McLaurin has a big game. The secondary was killed by Burrow/Chase last week but I don't see it happening again. Lattimore will run with Evans and normally destroys him, I think that means a big game for Godwin. I'd probably go with the Godwin, Dell and Tracy line-up as that has the biggest boom potential.
October 12, 2024Oct 12 9 hours ago, paco said: That's exactly where I was. What do you think about Pollard this week? I'm starting Pollard but that is out of necessity with Williams out. He should be an okay RB2/Flex play this week with Colts giving up some good rushing totals in 3 out of 5 games. They did a pretty good job against the Bears and Steelers, but they also allowed Bigsby to gash them last week.
October 12, 2024Oct 12 I have some Flex/RB questions I need to start 1 of Shaheed, Moss, Dowdle, McCloud and Hopkins at the Flex. Dowdle looks to have the volume but has the awful matchup vs Detroit. Shaheed doesn't have a QB and is big play dependant. Moss is losing carries to Brown and was banged up late last week although he is listed as healthy. McCloud has around 5 to 7 targets a game, he isn't a high volume guy and hasn't gotten in the endzone yet. Hopkins is another boom or bust option and has been more bust. I also need to start one of Dowdle, Moss or Ford at RB 2 in a standard league. Moss has the best TD potential, Ford the most yards and Dowdle the highest volume. I think I take the risk with Ford considering how bad the Philly D has been at stopping the run.

The secondary was killed by Burrow/Chase last week but I don't see it happening again. I disagree. I have seen no reason to believe the Baltimore secondary is any good. And Daniels is slinging it lately. I would not hesitate to deploy McLaurin, Ekeler (subbing for an injured Brian Johnson), and even Ertz at TE this week.

I think I take the risk with Ford considering how bad the Philly D has been at stopping the run. Assuming PPR, I'd stick with Shaheed at Flex. I still think he has a big role in the offense, even if it is catching garbage time throws from backup QB Rattler. I am shading the RBs stuck in a timeshare: Moss and Dowdle. McCloud is unfortunately buried on the depth chart. Hopkins doesn't have a QB either. At RB, I like Moss over Dowdle and Ford for the TD potential. Even if Ford has the matchup he has given me no reason to think he's any good. I feel like they are all TD dependent.
October 14, 2024Oct 14 @Mat @toolg Thanks for letting me bounce those questions off you. I ended up going with two lineups QB: Cousins RB: Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard WRs: Zay Flowers, Terry McLaurin, Drake London TE: McBride Flex: Bucky Irving Def: Colts Score: 131 QB: Cousins RB: Gibbs, Bucky Irving WRs: Diggs, Jameson Williams, Drake London TE: McBride Flex: Tracy Jr Def: Steelers Score 136 Cashed in both. I almost had Godwin in a few times and I'm kicking myself for not taking Bucs defense. I should have been all over them going against LMN Mahomes.

Feels like he is slowly taking over the job over Zeke.
October 15, 2024Oct 15 I'm not going to be asking any questions in here now, it appears. I'm 1-4, and about to be 1-5. My team is snakebitten. I have two of the biggest underperformers in the league in Mahomes and LaPorta. Too many other guys I started Marvin Harrison and Dallas Goedert over Michael Pittman and LaPorta, so I got a total of 0 points from two spots. Some of these good players have too many inconsistent weeks, where they get 6 points or 8 points.

Some of these good players have too many inconsistent weeks, where they get 6 points or 8 points. Just keep grinding. All that matters is grabbing a playoff seed. 3 years ago I had a S*** start but kept working the waiver wire got just enough wins to make the playoffs. Beat the 3rd seed and then the 2nd seed to make it to the finals. However I lost to the top seed. But that was fine by me because it was to schmoopie meaning we took 11/12ths of the prize pool I believe this. I really do. Because I have to cuz dear god do my teams suck this year
October 17, 2024Oct 17 DFS drives me nuts. One week (like last week) I'm super confident and go in heavy. The next week, like this week, I feel like I'm just throwing some S*** against the wall. So I won't ask a "pick one of these two combo" questions this week. Rather, am I f'n nuts for going this route with my Defense? At first I had Steelers, but with the Adams trade, I don't know what NYJs offense is going to look like. (Hall was great last week, as was Wilson, Lazard caught his weekly TD, maybe that one extra weapon puts them over the top?) So I switched to Rams. But then I put my lineup together and thought "man, a little extra $$$ and I could really raise the floor", so I looked at the cheapest defenses available. And that led me to the Giants who are at home and have been sack heavy as of late. Throw in no Maliata and perhaps that trend continues. If anyone is curious and want to laugh at me Monday, here is where I'm currently at: Spoiler QB: Kirk Cousins RB: Kyren Williams, Tony Pollard WR: Dionte Johnson, Darnell Mooney, Jameson Williams TE: Brock Bowers Flex: Tank Dell Defense: Giants Yeah, a few "run it back" names from last week, I know. But I really think that if I can hit on TE and Defense with that lineup it has potential.
October 20, 2024Oct 20 I need some advice for my salary cap team. I have made a couple of trades so far. I have turned Mason into Tracy Jr to sit on my bench and bank a little bit of cash. I then traded Harrison Jr. to Godwin since he has a great matchup. I think jumping off Mason now with the AC injury is probably a good idea and Tracy Jr has been great. Godwin is one of the best WR's I don't own so he makes the most sense to bring in. I am thinking of using a third trade for my D/ST. I have the 49ers and Seahawks as my two at the moment and was going to play the 49ers vs the Chiefs. I thought of turning the 49ers into the Broncos but didn't pull the trigger (huge mistake). I am now thinking I turn the Seahawks into one of the Bills (vs Titans), Steelers or Jets who play each other. The Steelers have been matchup proof for most of the season but have the same bye as the 49ers, the Bills have a couple of soft kills in that stretch and the Jets have been meh while playing some bad teams and have the Texans in the 49ers bye week. I could also grab the Bengals, but they have been rubbish for most of the season although the play the Browns this week and Raiders in the 49'ers bye week. I could just hold and bank the trade and boost to use later. Any thoughts?
October 20, 2024Oct 20 @Mat is the goal long term or just a week to week adjustment? if you are going long term Steelers and Jets you really can’t go wrong with that trade imo
October 20, 2024Oct 20 F it. I need last minute DFS advise. I’m going heavy this week @Mat @toolg I was cool with diontae johnson’s ankle injury going into the week. But it sounds like during practice he picked up both a rib and hamstring injury. One article I read speculated that his coach wasn’t confident that he would play Today I’m reading he’s expected to play. If he does, is he basically a decoy or can we expect him to play a normal snap count? Because of this I’m debating: diontae johnson and Tony Pollard or Devon achane and terry mclaurin To complicate things, my RBs both go at 1 while my WRs go at 4. So in theory I could do Achane and Johnson and switch to Mclaurin if Johnson is rule out. But that’s only if we think Achane > over Pollard. (Which I’m considering since he’s relatively healthy, a better talent, and the game script would suggest a LOT of running by Miami.

I am in a good position where I have most of the top guys already with a good mix of cash earning potential on my bench. If I make this trade I will have 11 more for the rest of the season. This is my current team with the guys on field in field and bench in italics. Hurts, Daniels - Darnold Henry, Barkley, Kamara, Cook - Tracy Jr., Bigsby Chase, Jefferson, AJ Brown, Godwin, St. Brown, Nabers - Lamb, Thomas Jr. McBride, Bowers - Kincaid Seibert - Random Kicker not on a team because it's kickers 49'ers - Seahawks I'm probably missing Kyren Williams at RB, Kittle at TE and Lamar instead of Hurts at QB. Otherwise my team is pretty stacked. I can play matchups each week with the D/ST for the rest of the season, so I do need to look at byes unless I burn another trade in a few weeks when the 49'ers hit their bye. I'm tempted to grab the Bills with the Titans matchup this week and then I think they have the Dolphins in the 49e'rs bye. Otherwise Rodgers hasn't set the world on fire and the Steelers play the Browns twice later in the season but face a bunch of tougher offenses down the stretch.

(Which I’m considering since he’s relatively healthy, a better talent, and the game script would suggest a LOT of running by Miami. I saw this on ESPN Quote Johnson (ankle) is expected to play Sunday against the Commanders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Spin: On top of the ankle issue, Johnson also has been dealing with hamstring and rib injuries, which caused him to miss practice Wednesday and Thursday before getting in a limited session Friday. It's unclear how close to 100 percent Johnson is, but he's trending toward being active Sunday. Johnson has drawn a team-leading 43 targets across four starts with Andy Dalton under center, cementing himself as a locked-in fantasy starter. I currently have him sitting in the flex of one of my leagues, but the hamstring now worries me and has at least a couple games out as a high probability. Especially after the AJ situation earlier in the year where he was a game time decision and then missed 3 weeks. Achane has the ridiculous ceiling but hasn't really produced since the first couple of games. I think the Dolphins skill position guys are a wait and see until Tua comes back. Spears is out so Pollard should see carries and some catches out of the backfield. I don't like the game script but he will have a decent floor. Do you have any other options at RB to pair with McLaurin?
October 20, 2024Oct 20 @paco could you go with Bigsby against the Pats now that Ettiene is out? I assume he is cheaper than Pollard and Achane and he gives you more cash to play with at WR?
