For this week (W5), if JWarren is out: Gainwell, Carter, BSmith, BTuten. ROS: As bench-stashes in case of injury Warren/Etienne/Pacheco/Demercado&Benson - the #1 would fall between Gainwell & Tuten…probably Gainwell 1a & Tuten 1b…but it’s close. BSmith 3rd. Carter 4th.

Tyjae Spears, a decent stash.

Opinions on % of faab to go-in on for Demercado? Same question: MCarter? IE: thoughts about the ability of either or both to get consistent RB2 points (ppr or .5ppr) over the next 4-6 weeks? Or, are they more like RB3/flex?

“I want pieces of the Bengals high-powered offense for my ff roster,” said no one in 2025. In other news: Cincy is 2-2. Hope they hang in there.

Christian Watson. Dunno about W5, but his return is worth monitoring @ decent bench-stash.

Don’t forget Darren Waller….mmmmm, good.

Maybe Woody Marks. RJHarvey with at least a taste of groove tonight. Dunno if you can call him a break-out, but Waddle, if he can stay healthy - could impress with Tyreek done for the season. Also: Darren Waller…I just threw up in my mouth…but again, a maybe.

Forgot about Ollie Gordon…got him on the roster too! Don’t really want to drop anyone, but maybe should (Ollie or Ayomanor) if Diggs might be consistently good-as-he-was this past week. Can’t claim to be excited about him, but Drake is ‘rising’ according to the fantasy community. Plus, kicking myself for not scooping QJ after w1…don’t want to repeat -a mistake. Ayomanor looks the part, but whew…is had to see much FF relevance on that team. Talking myself into it…. Not good…

PPR; qb, 2rb, 2wr, 2flex @ wr/te/rb (no mandatory te). Hurts, Henry, Dobbins, THenderson, RJHarvey, Marks, Tuten, StBrown, London, JMeyers, Pearsall, Waddle, Ayomanor. tx Paws. You = the Man.

In a league that does not use faab, I have pick#1. Someone dropped Stefon Diggs after W1; he is available (w/a nice W4 statline). Woody Marks is already rostered. All other players being commonly considered after W4 are on waivers (Gainwell, JHill, zScott, KMiller, AMitchell, EAyomanor, etc). Pick up Diggs? Or someone else? Or, stand pat with the #1 pick & wait for next week?

Besides Benson this week, not a whole bunch of hot pick-ups on the *season* so far, imo. Quentin Johnston a pleasant surprise, at least so far. HFannin has some intrigue. RB’s this week: maybe WMarks, OGordon, Monangai…Will Shipley might be worth a stash now if healthy. WRs: Ayomanor, LBurden, it may be good to consider Aiyuk or even Christian Watson, depending on health-status. TE Hunter Henry is out there in one of mine…he’s worth a look. Kinda boring…hope someone else has a hot take on an interesting player.

In a vacuum, regardless of roster-builds, which pair is best, ros? (Players below were swapped today in a 2-for-2 trade.) a) Bucky Irving & JSN b) Nabers & Trey McBride

Thanks weepaws. WR core is good. Tillman is tempting…and…QJ would be too if there is any way on earth he’d stay consistent. <—-his w1 stat line is probably fools-gold. will stand-pat for now. Cheers!

In a 10-team ppr league, my lowest-level bench players are Tank Bigsby (now traded to the Eagles) and Ollie Gordon. Waivers this week has players…best seem to be: WRs: Hollywood, QJohnson, Boutte, CAustinIII, Tillman, and RB: DSampson. Which of Bigsby and Gordon is the most droppable? And: of those those Waiver players, is there one or two standing out above the others?

The site isn’t the spot for on-the-second breaking news. It is a premiere place for analysis & opinion from non-paid people who like the FF game. For example, Tank Bigsby was just-now traded…you can get that news anywhere, pumped to you in a dozen push notifications. Flip side of that coin is that there are few places where *actual* FF players (and not just pundits or podcasters) will talk about this trade for no reason than it’s own sake.
