The Conner and Bell owners in my leagues have been working out trades, or keeping him. No one has just dropped him.

I think Barkley is going to be a bust for where people are drafting him. He has had 1 good run in the pre-season, then 1yd/run after that run. He averaged 2.5yds a carry vs Rutgers and under 3yds a carry over a 5 game stretch. Not saying he can't be a ok player, but people have been taking him top 5-10. Hes had more injuries than good runs in the NFL so far. I get the CJ Spiller feeling all over again (and no I didn't bite for that either). People took him top 5, for his big breakout year.

As a side note for my horrible Browns, the pick from Houston is looking better.

Sucks for him and Houston. Sucks for my fantasy too, had him on all of my teams, but I have KC QB/Smith as my backup on most, but he was scoring crazy points. Been a bad season for injury, most my good WRs have had their QB hurt (both GB WRs, Fitzgerald) and now my top QB. Gonna be a ugly fantasy year.

Elliot seems to have jumped up in ADP, once the hearings started, and it came out the woman that talked to the accuser suggested no actions be taken, and that she was not credible. Could be shortened to 2-4, or could have an injunction. I would take a flier on him early 2nd. He has gone early second in all my 12 team ppr drafts (2.1 - 2.4).

Bell here, I have A Brown as my #1 WR, but I think the competition for #1 WR is a lot closer this year, and I would be fine with 3-4 people as my #1 WR, but Johnson/Bell are the top tier of RB, for me. I had pick #3 in my last draft and I wasn't thrilled, as I would of been happier with 4-6, as I would of picked earlier in the second and didn't feel like Brown was going to outscore the other top WR by much.

I was picking 3rd (12 team ppr), got A Brown in the first, and I grabbed him coming back. I was a disgruntled owner last year, but the way the picks worked out, it was the best pick for me. Not thrilled, but it is what it is....

Well this sucks, Riddick and him out, that's 2 starters down for playoffs. Put Garcon in for him, barring a change to his status, not the worst situation to be in, but Julio has far more upside for a big game than Garcon.

Yeah, this is killing me, had a ton of injuries at RB. I have to start 2 and he was one of my starts. I have burkhead, white, Vareen as options. Burkhead is against my Browns, so that's a plus, White keeps losing snaps to Lewis and Vareen is just back. Washington/Zenner, Forsett, Montgomery on Waiver. Think Burkhead might be safest on my roster now, and maybe Montgomery safest waiver add..Still deciding, sucks for 1st week of playoffs.

I am starting Brady vs the Browns, over Ryan vs Denver myself.

Fan of both teams, but the people that said OSU could beat the Browns are delusional. People ask these things all the time for various teams not doing well, and people about always think one of the top college teams could beat a bottom level NFL team. A college team wouldn't be able to stop a NFL team from ramming the ball down their throat imo.

Even if he did, it would be probably week 7-8 before he was ready to play. I am not gonna touch it. Most of my leagues have really shortened bench spots, only 1 has enough room to carry a guy now, and I am carrying Bell in that league.

In 4 leagues, got him in 3. I am doing Hogan, Fuller and Foster to replace him. It being a 4:25pm game really has put me in a bind to where I can't sit back and watch. I think Foster may be a 4pm game, but I am just probably going to not roll the dice on him this week.

I like Woodhead more in a full point PPR myself, he was top 10 in every one of my leagues last year, and in mine that has distance scoring, he was #3. Yeah, he is getting older, but it is not like they are ramming him inbetween the tackles every play either to kill him. I will take his, he is older and may produce less production, over a guy that has a pass catcher that will 100% take points/opportunities from him. 0.5 PPR is probably a toss up, but full PPR, not close for me.

My buddy took a offensive lineman (well tried, messed a name up), took Steve/Chris Everett, something like that a long time ago, we still give it to him about that, and then later in the same draft, he took Ben Coates I think was his name, the TE for NE a long time ago, and proclaimed he was a bad white man (he's black!). Oddest thing this year, two things come to mind, that same guy took Eifert way too early (like round 6 in a 10 team league, usually a 12, hate 10 teams), then grabbed his backup. Someone also took V. Cruz in like the 9th round (seems crazy to me, that is like last round if you somehow think he is going to make it back).

I play in a no kicker/defense 12 man ppr league. I don't mind it, kicker and defense is kind of a last round, weekly match up thing on my teams usually. They scrapped those and added 2 flex.

I am thinking he is done, but I can't afford to lose a RB, so I have him and James on one of my teams, and the roster spot is killing me. I had to drop a player I really hated to drop (Clay TE, I have Julius Thomas, but still) to do some roster moves. I am kind of kicking myself for it now....Even if he did come back, it would probably be a super RBBC, and he wouldn't be worth it ...

I pick up defenses and week 8 I was offered KC or SEA def (the #1 and 2 in our league), so I went back and added up my points, using my rotating defenses, and compared them to KC, which was the #1 def, and I was less than a point a week off of the KC pace. I also do not pick up defenses in my #1 waiver slot, if a good player is to be had, so the argument that people are missing out, is wrong, at least in my case. DEF/K are never my first picks in a refresh waiver, unless their is no one I want....In a rolling waiver, I generally wait for the waiver to pass if I can.... If I have a bench I don't mind using, I will also maybe snag a def for the following week...Just depends on the league/team. I just don't see many people passing up position players to grab their ideal kicker or defense for the week.

I dropped him in my 10 team league, not a lot of bench space, so needed it for someone I would consider playing. I actually traded for him earlier in the year, trade was pending approval when the Indy trade was announced. I admit I am a Browns fan, and I figured when Gordon got back, things would open up (and I didn't have him in any of my leagues). I gave up Cobb for Richardson/Hilton...So in the end I got Hilton for free I guess. I have RB depth though, so I can afford to get rid of him...If he turns it on now, just would be the way things happen, but tired of him taking up a spot on my bench. I am sure someone else will pick him up and pray...They can babysit him for me.

Cook was my #6 TE I think, but I used people sleeping on him to get him lower, got him in 2 of my 3 leagues, the only one I didn't get him in is the league with the Rams fan that was in a previous league and figured out he was a target for me. I also had Edelman in 2 of 3, but couldn't add him in my 3rd due to WR position limits( hate limits in leagues), but he was more of a add for when, Amendola breaks down, surprised to see him do well, even though he is #2 supposedly on the depth chart I saw. I am going to maybe structure some trades for players that underperformed, based on history, could backfire, but if I can get them for a player that would only play during a bye week, then it is worth the risk. I am not sold on MJD being this bad, I was drinking the kool aid I guess, didn't get him in any league, so everyone else must of also, he was my 15th ranked RB, even though I was wanting to believe, I guess I had him still ranked too low to draft. Since I tried something new, and I can play 3 RB in all my leagues with flex, I went RB, RB, RB this year, so my best bet would maybe to target some WRs that underperformed, unfortunately I doubt anyone would be willing to think Calvin has met his decline.

I may have to try to trade for him, if I can buy him with a bench player, if the owner is down on him to the extent everyone else is. I was thinking he would bounce back myself, but never had the opportunity to draft him, was always higher ranked backs on my list, so don't own him in my 3 leagues, may of got lucky, since I was drinking the kool aid, and not sold on him being a bust after 1 game though.

J Edelman in 2 of my leagues, figured with Amendolas fragile health he was going to replace him at some point, didn't figure he would do good while he was healthy though. Still won't be playing him though probably, will probably wait and see how things go.

Pettigrew and picked up F. Davis before the games started, he fustrated me last year, and think Davis had more upside. B Tate (not Foster owner) to get Bush's handcuff (already did it, screwy no waiver yahoo league). Sudfeld to get Vareen (guy dropped him Saturday for a defense or something). I tried to drop Alex Smith for J. Edelman Saturday, but stupid league has player limits and couldn't get another WR (I had lost Jacoby Jones and wanted more depth, and Smith isn't gonna see the field for me). Was a nice supprise he played good though atleast.

Yeah my keeper league where you can keep 1 player from the previous years 4th round or lower I had to pick from Amendola, Colston, and Ridley (would of probably been Hernandez, but he had to go on a killing spree, allegedly). I did not trust Belichek, or Amendolas health, so had to do Colston. I dropped Zac also to get the handcuff for R Bush, his looks don't figure to get better when Gronk is back.

I dropped him, but I had to get J. Bell, due to worries about R Bush. Yeah the Yahoo league I did it in is screwy, their is no waiver wire at all, you can pick up and drop people 24/7.
