I was just reading Kyle's Week 5 summary on Rotoworld. I saw that Matthew Berry covered the Mark Andrews situation; here's the video: Should Baltimore Ravens’ Mark Andrews be dropped by fantasy managers? - NBC Sports He said he posted a poll to his X / Twitter account, and 42% of peeps are out-right dropping him. Pretty much the rest are keeping him on their bench (still). He also had a good quote / comment: if you took Mark Andrews' stats, and assigned them to ANY other player, it wouldn't even be a question about dropping him.

Like most peeps, I took BAL TE1 M. Andrews relatively early in my draft. I wanted a TE who was a top-2 receiving option for their team. He was the only one in my Top-6 who didn't have a favorable match-up in the FF playoff weeks. Because I figured he was “solid” EVERY week.. After week 1, I spent 1/3 (!) of my FAAB on I. Likely – and he has done NOTHING outside of that one game. So, I'm burning TWO roster spots on BAL TEs who are not catching passes, but instead are blocking for the run game. I figured I'd give it a month, as FF is a marathon, and not a sprint. But, nothing's changed. I figure my options are: Dropping a bench player for a THIRD TE, because one of these weeks, putting up a doughnut / 0 at my TE spot is going to cost me a week / win; Research others' rosters, and pairing Andrews with a bench RB in a trade with another Team Owner who has a decent / better TE, and he can pair a lesser RB on his bench in the trade; or Outright drop Andrews for a TE off the WW. Of the two, I'll keep I. Likely, as he does have position flexibility, as seen in his explosion in week 1. What are other Andrews owners doing?

No .. love / confirmation, from other B-Rob Team Owners?

I've been taking a look at various statistics. I switched-up my FLEX to B-Rob. ARI DEF plays a 3-4, so I think he'll have an easier time than Conner, especially against WAS's good two DTs.

I saw that SF WR1 D. Samuel practiced in a Limited capacity Thursday and Friday. An ESPN Reporter reported Saturday night that Deebo “plans on playing.” His game has a 4:05PNM kick-off, which complicates matters somewhat. Team 1: He was my WR1 in the draft. This week I picked up NE WR1 D. Douglas. Currently I have Douglas as my WR2. After I post this – with the new ESPN report, I'll change it from Douglas to Deebo. BUT – I'll make a mental note to check the late game Inactives around 3:00PM just in case. (I can switch back to Douglas if need be – they play against each other, same game / time.) Team 2: I picked up SF WR3 J. Jennings on waivers this past week, and I currently have him as my FLEX. My .. alternate, JAX WR2 B. Thomas, plays at 1:00. With the Deebo news, again, after I post this, I'll change my FLEX from Jennings to Thomas. (WR1 is Harrison Jr., and WR2 is M. Nabers.) How are other peeps handling this?? Oh, my league is full-point PPR.

Full-point PPR. RB1 = D. Henry; RB2 = J. Mason. I'm currently FLEXING ARI RB J. Conner, home vs. WAS. BUT - I also have WAS RB B. Rob @ ARI. And, CIN RB1 Z. Moss @ CAR. B-Rob has no competition, with Ekeler out. And, ARI DEF was the worst vs. RBs in 2023. Conner has been subbing out quite a bit this year.. Seems like Demercado is the 3rd down RB.. I thought of sitting Conner last week, and it almost cost me the week.. WAS DEF is I think a bottom-10 vs. RBs this year. Then, i also have Z. Moss, who has taken the reigns of Cincy's backfield so far this year. Similar to WAS DEF, CAR DEF is bottom-5 vs. RBs this year. With Ekeler out, I'm REALLY leaning towards switching my FLEX to B-Rob from Conner. Conner also had not played well vs. WAS, historically. Thoughts?

Saw Matthew Berry's Love / Hate article. SF is WORST vs. slot WRs. Picked up Demario Douglas. If MIN WR2 J. Addison is back, I'll likely play Douglas over Nailor.

F&%$ ..; Shaheed was picked up on traditional waivers..

Full-point PPR league. I bid for ATL WR2 D. Mooney, but I was out-bid.. Other WW options include: 1) NO WR2 R. Shaheed @ ATL; 2) NE WR1 D. Douglas @ SF (7th worst vs,. WRs!); 3) LAR WR? T. Atwell @ CHI (5th best vs. WRs..); or 4) DAL WR3 J. Tolbert @ NYG. I would drop IND WR? A. Pierce to get another WR. (My other WRs are BUF WR K. Shakir, ARI WR3 G. Dortch, and MIN WR3 J. Nailor). Shaheed has a better QB than Pierce, so I'm debating doing that WW transaction. Thoughts?

Switched from Dortch to Nailor. Dortch was gimpy after practice on Fri..

Uh .. Cooper wasn't an option? Cooper KUPP has an INJ ankle...

CIN WR A. Iosivas ATL WR D. Mooney LAR WR T. Johnson DAL WR J. Tolbert that's about it..

Full-point PPR league. What a year for fantasy, eh? Soooooo many studs already OUT for multiple weeks.. I'm sporting a bunch of WR3s (or worse), and need to start two. Currently rolling with BUF WR K. Shakir who is home against JAX. He has a safe floor. Also, ARI WR G. Dortch against a soft DET pass defense .. who I'm worried the TE might steal his looks.. I also have: IND WR A. Pierce against CHI who had had a good season so far - but I read that Josh Downs is playing in Week 3. One FF guy said Pierce is now a zero-floor WR5. I also grabbed MIN WR J. Nailor, who like Pierce has scored in each of the first two weeks. I'm concerned HOU's HC will force MIN QB S. Darnold back to reality.. Thoughts??

Mason and Nabers.

Gus' bus' engine has too many miles on it! B-Rob!
