I did. Last second flip. I should have trusted my gut.

Akers got 3 rushes for zero yards. Great.

Tankss all. I think you saved me from a big mistake.

I suppose the one fear is if he goes all Arian Foster in his debut. But that can't be counted on.

That's actually a very good point. I hadn't considered that.

That's kind of how I've been leaning. I'm just having serious FOMO and second thoughts.

Akers at RB or at Flex with Piece at RB?

My gut really wants to play Piece aside he's probably starting in Houston. But Lovie is being all cryptic.

Two rbs and a flex. PPR. RBs chubb (obv start), Akers, Pierce, Dillon, Pollard, walker III Another possible flex option is Drake London. Or Julio Jones. Who would you play?

I guess that's a good point. I hadn't thought of it that way. All I was thinking was if the draft were today, I'd probably take someone like Taylor or Harris over Jefferson. But he is still super young though isn't he? Dang. Yeah, I guess I dodged a bullet on this one. Thanks all. You make a lot of sense.

I guess I'm still a little old fashioned with running backs. I know they're undervalued in the NFL because of committes but workhorse backs like Taylor and Najee are all the more rare making them more valuable in fantasy. They're a coveted commodity if you don't have one. I have Chubb but I like to have more than one if I can.

Dynasty League in its 12th year. PPR. Relatively standard scoring. I'm strong at QB and WR. But I could use some help at RB. QB: Murray, Burrows, drafted Kenny Pickett RBs: Chubb, AJ Dillon, drafted Kenny Walker, Gainwell, J. Wilson Jr. WRs: Tyreek Hill, Justin Jefferson, Marquise Brown, Amari Cooper, DeAndre Hopkins (SUSP) The offer on the table is I give Kyler Murray and Justin Jefferson and receive Najee Harris and Cordarelle Patterson. And Allgeier is still on waivers. I have no problem losing Murray for obvious reasons but hate to lose Jefferson. Still, I'm seriously considering this. Thoughts?

I think a lot of people figured Deebo was going to be first on the depth chart. I think it's very possible they're going to move packages around a lot and it's really going to come down to who gets open more. For example, Wes Welker was considered a slot guy and not, technically, the #1 option. But he still lead the team multiple years in receptions. Kind of the same idea for Gronk, or Jimmy Graham. In other words, first on the depth chart doesn't always mean 1st in receptions or even targets.

True. I don't know how it escaped me this was exclusive to rookies but, well, I'm human. I have my moments where I'm not that observant. And other times where I could have identified Deep Throat if given the opportunity. Forgive me?

Plus it sounds like Philadelphia might have DeShaun Watson on lockdown once his legal troubles are over...assuming he doesn't go to jail. It sounds to me like the primary reason Fields fell is because of Dan Orlovsky, who, by the way, in an interview, just recently called him the next Patrick Mahomes. I don't know if he ever apologized for what he said about Fields, but I think his statement was the only thing that caused the FUD that dropped his stock. And he was still drafted with the 10th pick. Yes, my Bears are notoriously bad about QBs. But so were the Saints until they finally got Drew Brees. And they didn't even draft him. So were the Seahawks until they finally got Matt Hasselbeck. It just takes one good decision to turn things around. But having been burned before, I'm still not holding my breath with Fields until he shows us something magical. Plus, he's playing with some reckless abandon. His running touchdown in the preseason game was risky and dangerous, especially for a game that doesn't matter. Those kinds of plays may take him from being the next Mahomes into the next RGIII.
