  1. He may also get traded, so maybe that helps him

     

    NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Seahawks have "had talks" about moving Jimmy Graham before Tuesday's trade deadline.

    Graham is in the last year of a four-year, $40 million contract and the Seahawks would be wise to get something for him before he inevitably leaves in free agency. More specifically, Seattle is looking to upgrade its offensive line. The Seahawks are known to be interested in Texans LT Duane Brown, who will make his season debut at Seattle on Sunday. Graham has averaged just 38.3 yards per game this season, his lowest since his 2010. Perhaps he'd benefit from a change of scenery.

  2. I usually don't pick a kicker until it gets close to game time, and therefore I pick another position. So now I need to drop someone and I can't make up my mind on who.

     

    Neither guy is terrific and one is just a hope that he may become a starter soon. .5 ppr

     

    Shane Vereen------I know he's good in PPR but not sure if he is that great. Leaning towards dropping him.

     

    Ronnie Hillman-----Would make a nice starting RB if CJ ever goes down, and he has played well in pre season.

     

    So, who would you drop?


  3. I hope he does get involved. I did see this:

     

    The Eagles want to get RB Darren Sproles more involved in the offense.

    "We'd like to get him the ball steadily and consistently, and he certainly is a unique, outstanding player," Eagles OC Pat Shurmur said before the preseason. "We just need to make sure we get him the ball, and we have a plan to do that." That plan could involve Sproles lining up more as a receiver, something the Eagles worked on in camp. Sproles averaged just six offensive touches a game over the second half of 2014. Even if he sees a slight bump in usage, he is unlikely to be a consistent fantasy option in standard formats.

  4. Making his 2014 debut, Josh Gordon caught 8-of-16 targets for 120 yards in Cleveland's Week 12 win over the Falcons.



    Despite much pre-game speculation to the contrary, Gordon wasn't on any sort of a pitch count, playing essentially every down. He was targeted on a whopping 40 percent of the Browns' pass plays. His 16 looks were twice as many as No. 2 Miles Austin's eight. It was music to fantasy owners' ears, but Brian Hoyer often appeared to be forcing the ball to his returning No. 1 weapon, making a number of disastrous decisions on plays where they perhaps weren't on the same page. Hoyer also flat missed Gordon on at least 3-4 occasions. Gordon could have had a much-bigger game. Either way, he's established without a doubt that he'll be an elite WR1 down the stretch as the Browns try to clinch their first playoff berth since 2002.


  5. Montee Ball re-injured his groin in Week 11 against the Rams.



    Ball limped off the field after his first play back from a five-game absence. He tried to re-enter, but popped the groin again trying to make a catch out of the backfield. Ball's season may be over. And with Ronnie Hillman (foot) also staring at an extended absence, it's all C.J. Anderson and Juwan Thompson.

  6. Updating a previous item, Terrance West took the first rep with the Browns' starting offense during Sunday's pre-game warmups.

    Despite multiple reports the Browns will start Isaiah Crowell against the Texans, the team announced no lineup changes, and still lists Ben Tate atop the depth chart, with West handling first-team reps before the game. This situation is as unpredictable as it gets from a fantasy standpoint. The Browns' coaching staff likely doesn't even know who will get the bulk of the workload.


  7. Giovani Bernard (hip, shoulder) is inactive for Week 11 against the Saints.



    Jeremy Hill will start and play all three downs against the Saints. Game flow is a worry, but Hill is a legitimate RB1 for Week 11. If there's good news for Bernard owners, it's that he reportedly looked good in pre-game warmups Sunday. There's a good chance he's finally back for Week 12.


  8. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Ronnie Hillman's foot injury could cost him up to six weeks.



    Schefter says the timetable on Hillman is 2-6 weeks, as the foot injury has proved more severe than initially believed. Per ESPN's Chris Mortensen, the Broncos will continue to "ride the hot hand," with C.J. Anderson starting against the Rams, but Montee Ball and Juwan Thompson both mixing into the backfield.





  9. I'm not sure why they would not play him the entire game, Oliver has not been great lately. Also, I think that if he was not ready to play, they would not play him. As you can tell, I have him and will start him...lol, so I hope I'm right.



  10. Speaking Thursday, Texans coach Bill O'Brien said Arian Foster (groin) will "definitely" be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Browns.



    Foster remained sidelined Thursday. There was early-week optimism that Foster would be ready to rock coming off the Texans' bye, but all current signs suggest he's no better than 50-50 to suit up. It's a nightmare for fantasy owners, and a shame since the Browns have one of the league's very-worst run defenses. Alfred Blue will be a plug-and-play RB2 if Foster sits. Foster's status will be updated no later than Friday afternoon.

  11. Arian Foster (groin) said the "plan" is to play in Sunday's game against the Browns, but added that "we shall see."



    When going over his team's injuries, coach Bob O'Brien seemed optimistic on Brian Cushing (knee) and Jadeveon Clowney (knee). O'Brien was more guarded on Foster, calling his running back "definitely day to day." We'll know more as the week moves along. For now, Alfred Blue should not be on any waiver wires as the Texans get set to face a Browns defense that gets shredded by the run.

  12. If you really need someone for the short term, take him, otherwise it may be a wasted pick. However, that being said, there are not a bunch of players to pick up this week, well not in my league, and I'm guessing in most. I have the 1st pick this week, but I'm thinking of not making a waiver claim.
