Bacon Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Need 13.8 points out of Mahomes and Demariyus Thomas to get my third win in a row. I think I've got this. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMadisonSkins Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 So my Sony Michel and Demaryius Thomas for Dalvin Cook trade looks bad after 1 game of the new roster. But I'm hopeful Cook rebounds. I was never going to start Demaryius again, so I could care less about him. But Sony ... I was all-in on him all off-season and stuck with him early but got excited to trade him for what I consider a sure-fire RB1 the rest of the eason. Too bad Sony looks like he'll be that too. i might have the best (on paper) 0-4 team ever. I am getting (hopefully) a healthy Mixon, Cook, Baldwin and Ingram back this week. QB: Cam Newton RB: David Johnson, Joe Mixon, Mark Ingram, Dalvin Cook, Kerryon Johnson, Ronald Jones WR: Davante Adams, Doug Baldwin, Amari Cooper, Calvin Ridley TE: Jordan Reed I plan to start (aside from BYEs) Newton, DJ, Mixon, Cook, Ingram, Adams and then one of Baldwin/Cooper/Ridley rest of the way. Also have a big FAAB in on Yeldon this week, as Im playing the Fournette owner and want to snipe him and stash/trade Yeldon since it looks like Fournette will miss some time. Please tell me I'll be okay, guys! Fantasy Pros is telling me I'm by far the best team in my league for the rest of the season and have the #1 starting lineup and #1 bench. But I gotta start winning fast with these guys coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a big fan of theirs but maybe it’s their ranking idk. For the ROS they’ve got me with the RB8 (Mixon), RB9 (Ingram), RB10 (DJ), RB16 (Cook) and RB27 (KJ) ... WR7 (Adams), WR16 (Cooper), WR18 (Baldwin), WR24 (Ridley) and TE4 (Reed) and QB3 (Newton) No one else is remotely close to that many Top 20 players. So using that I get it. I do think I’m 0-4 because I’ve been outscored 625-475. I’m also getting Mixon and baldwin back to join Ingram this week. I also had Michel riding the pine Weeks 1-3 and traded him for Cook before Week 4. So I haven’t benefited from The projected value that Cook (and now Michel) presents as that hasn’t been a present staple to my team. I’ll be curious to see how I perform now that I’ve got my full squad back for the 1st time this year. FWIW I’m not sure whether to start Ingram this week against our defense or go with Kerryon. I feel like Ingram is good for 1-2 TDs this week. But I hate playing against Skins in fantasy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSkin Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I haven't used it in a while, but maybe filter the experts on Fantasy Pros. Find some that you trust their rankings over others and just use them. Not sure if you can do that for seasonal or not. I used to do it for the daily stuff and had a little more success when I did.

nonniey Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 So I offered Peterson and Lynch for Kelce (Watson is my only TE)? I have McCaffrey and Elliot as my top 2 and only need to start 1RB anyway, He has Fournette, Ivory and Ekeler. Is this a reasonable offer? Is it a good decision to make this offer?

justice98 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 James Conner was the difference in my Draft Kings not making money this week. It was a tough matchup, but I thought he'd get more than 12 touches. smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way he's back week 7. Probably worth the gamble to try to trade for Bell right now. Back to my yearly complaint, why are QB kneeldowns to end the half/game treated as negative player running yards? Seems the NFL would recognize that as a team negative rushing play or something.

Chew Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yahoo just sent me an update.

The Evil Genius Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 There's a trade in my money league going down. Gurley and 2 scrubs (Antonio Callaway and Chris Godwin) for Phillip Lindsay, Cousins, and John Brown. ? Gurley is going from the last place team to the 2nd place team (who has Leveon Bell also). **** that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 My team absolutely smashed it this week. 170.3 points. Goff, Hunt, Bernard, Diggs, Woods, Landry, Burton, Tucker, Titans D. Lowest scoring was Landry at 11.4 points (other than Tenn). After a slow 0-2 start my team is now even. Same in my other league. I traded Thielen, Derrick Henry, and Crowder for David Johnson and Funchess. Hoping that can light my team on fire, although I'm a bit skeptical of Johnson.

PleaseBlitz Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 http://www.espn.com/fantasy/football/ffl/story?page=tmr101021 The 10 Fantasy Commandments Quote 1. Thou shalt not veto. If there is obvious collusion between two owners, then the commissioner (or league via veto) should not allow it. But other than that? Let it go. People should be allowed to coach their team and trade whoever they want, even if you think it's a really stupid rip-off trade. Negotiating a steal of a deal is part of fantasy skill and as long as both parties want to do the deal, you're a punk if you block it. Especially the people who block a trade just because it doesn't involve them or because it's part of their "strategy" to block other teams from improving. That's the coward's way out and you're a scummy, spineless punk if you do that. Win on the virtual field, not in the bureaucracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMadisonSkins Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Someone just dropped Josh Gordon in my main league. I'm tempted ... if nothing other than for having as trade-bait if he breaks out this week. I got TJ Yeldon for $42 last night too. I dropped big $$ on him to keep him away from the Fournette owner who I play this week in a must-win at for me at 0-4 but he's actually projected over Cook and Kerryon so he's worked his way into my Flex in a good matchup this week. My team is now: QB: Cam Newton RB: David Johnson, Joe Mixon, Mark Ingram, Dalvin Cook, TJ Yeldon, Kerryon Johnson, Nick Chubb, Ronald Jones WR: Davante Adams, Amari Cooper, Doug Baldwin, Calvin Ridley TE: Jordan Reed, OJ Howard (IR) I think in a must-win this week I'm going to roll out Ingram and Yeldon over Cook, Kerryon, Ridley and Baldwin at Flex. I'm torn on Ridley. Would love to roll him out in the matchup against Pittsburgh but can't bench Adams and think Cooper will get peppered against LAC. FWIW, I have a $2 claim in on Josh Gordon for Ronald Jones for Friday. This is the best 0-4 team I've ever seen. If my WRs can start being consistent other than Adams and all these RBs hit like they should, I can make some juicy trades in the coming weeks. The Bell owner just offered him straight up for Ingram. I said no ... if I was 2-2 I would probably do it for the playoff push, but I need to win now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain James Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Sooo, are we just riding things out with the Minnesota defense? I know there's a LOT of football left to be played. Has anyone impulsively dropped them yet? I played Seattle over them this past weekend. I'm afraid to play them this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
