Fearsome

For some reason he's on the wire in my non-PPR league. My drop candidates are Jaylen Warren and Jerry Jeudy. Thoughts...

What are your plans this week if Kupp returns from IR and starts? Are you benching Nacua? Are you keeping Kupp on the bench to see how the offense works with both in there? Or, are you rolling with it and starting both guys? Regardless of format.

Overall, I think Kupp is the superior player. But with the IR stint with the hamstring injury, I think it could linger most of the season. I just think for the entire 17 week fantasy season Brown could be better this year. Thoughts…

I have been playing fantasy football for 27 years and have won 6 championships. My home league is in year 23 and has always been standard/non-PPR. I also played in TD only leagues back in the 1990's and early 2000's. This will be my first venture into PPR as a number of guys from the home league (all olds) have decided to try it. In doing mock drafts I seem to be focused on receivers and getting a top TE early (because of the extra point) which leaves me devoid at RB. What is the best path, in your opinion, to go on draft day? When do you jump in for the QB? When do you draft your first RB? Thanks in advance. Trying to get into the fantasy 21st Century (though still moving forward with the standard home league).

Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 1 D, 1 K. 10 teams, full PPR. I have always been either RB/WR or RB/RB depending on where I was in the draft order. I was also always a QB late guy, like round 8-9 or later. Also, in the home league, there is no TE position. WR/TE is a combined spot (as I think it should be. TE is the most unfair position in FF). This year with the high end QB it could change things but that's for another thread.

And if so, what is it? Our league has a variety of trophies. The main two are the championship and the Toilet Bowl playoff winner. We also have trophies for two side pot games from throughout the season. One for a NFL Survivor pool and another for a pick ems game where we pick the winners each week of our fantasy leagues games. Both are fun and add another way to win money. Our league has been going now for 21 seasons and we've never had a trophy (funny, shaming or serious) for the team that finishes 2nd. I took the time to compile all 21 2nd place finishers and am looking to do a trophy. Just seeing what others do and for some ideas.

Toilet Bowl trophy (wooden toilet seat with placards listing all the winners and regular season records), $50 and #1 overall pick the following season. Money is not money back as entry fee for our league is $230. This team is not the actual worst team, its the team that won two consolation games from the four teams that did not make the regular playoffs. So in essence they are the 7th place team. The worst team went 0-2 in consolation and has the 4th pick in the next years draft.

Thanks fellas. Great insight.

After review, my top replacement choices are Lawrence, Minshew and Rodgers. The Miami pass D is dreadful (31st) which is a positive for Rodgers, plus the weather is acceptable with light rain and upper 50's which is great considering what many games are expected to have this week. With Lawrence questionable with the toe on a short week, do you all still see him shredding? The Minshew with a tough matchup on the road. This is such a massive decision. For the title! If I choose wrong I likely lose after an 11-2 regular season. Brutal.

Awful. Championship week and my show pony probably will not play. Now what? Jared Goff or Trevor Lawrence Close to $1,000 on the line and those are my two choices? I'm sick.

From that group I only roster DJ Moore and Meyers. So by your ranking starting Meyers is a no brainer over DJ Moore? Also, that said, all those guys are on my wire. This is a 10 team standard league so many of those RB4/5 and WR4/5 guys are available. Do any of you think I should snag any of those guys vs. Meyers, DJ Moore, K. Herbert or AJ Dillon?

Is Allen Robinson really the best bet to replace Kupp in lineups? He's on my wire. Who would you start at Flex from this grouping? Standard scoring. Robinson DJ Moore J. Myers I. Pacheco G. Wilson R. White G. Pickens

10 team non-PPR. Dionte Johnson, DJ Moore, Kyle Pitts (no TE required) and George Pickens were all just dropped. Have Rashod Bateman, Jakobi Myers and Drake London. Any moves to be made? How effective will Bateman be? Thinking Bateman for Johnson. Thoughts on Moore?

Is it better to handcuff your own stud i.e. Cook with Mattison, Kamara with Ingram or grab the handcuff of another elite back that you may like better than the option you have on your roster or to keep that player away from the RB1 owner. So for example, one owner has Henderson or McCaffrey and you grab Michel or Hubbard? I've never thought it was vital that you handcuff your own stud, just get a high end handcuff from a top rushing offense. Thoughts...

I play in a 10 team standard league. I am an Edmonds owner and probably will replace him since he is out 3-4 weeks, possibly IR, and won't return until the fantasy playoffs. He's currently RB5 on my roster (Cook, Mixon, Hunt, Mitchell). Miles Sanders is available. So is Mattison, Michel and Ingram, all high end handcuffs. As a Cook and Mixon owner, I probably should grab Mattison (he was just released) or Perine, who's also available, but Sanders is tempting, even though he is having a horrific season. Stevenson is also available. Thoughts

5-3 now on the year. Lost one game by 9, one by .9 and one by .4. Awesome. So frustrating. Had Denver D and they give up two TD's in the final four minutes to crush a massive points effort. From mid-20's down to 6. Opponent had Dak who got both TD passes and a 2PT. Between that and he also had Jonathan Taylor who nailed me with 32. Just a crap week.

That roster is the epitome of chip and a chair. If you can get in to the playoffs...Watch out!

I'm a Brady owner and tried to fill with Taysom Hill earlier in the week after hearing from the top fantasy experts that he was #1 in New Orleans, top 10 play etc. I make the move and then Sean Payton announces he's not starting. Last night, after midnight, waiting to see if any news came out on Tua, which none did..."He was fine, has a hurt finger but he'll go and have a monster day because of the matchup". So I made the move, dumped Hill and got Tua. I wake up this morning and Tua is inactive. That said...I faced Taylor on Thursday so I'm down 32-0. My league puts a cap on add/drops and trades at 10 total which I have now reached. Extra ones, up to four total, now cost $10 each. Is it worth picking up Tannehill, Love, Jones or T. Taylor for this week, spend the money when I'm so far in the scoring hole to start or take a zero? Thanks. Just goes to show that fantasy experts and even Schefter and Rappaport know very little. This scenario is incredible. Can't believe it happened.

It's my big money, best friends league. This is our 21st year. Limit used to be a hard 10. Now we get 10 free, plus 4 for $10 each if needed. Also free swap of K and D/ST but if you want your original player back it costs you a move. Puts major emphasis on the draft, which I like. Also eliminates streaming for the most part which I feel is cheating. Going with the hot hand so to speak. Almost like the DH in the AL and pitchers hitting in the NL. Totally different way to run a team.

Not really. Just think its a tall hill to climb. But how well will Tannehill do? Can he score 20 tonight in LA?

I am a Tom Brady owner and a I picked up Taysom Hill to cover his bye. I like his ROS value and don’t want to release him. Do you think he has any Week 9 value even though the Saints aren’t starting him? Could he come in and score on a couple gadget plays etc. Thinking of just taking the chance. I faced Jonathan Taylor and am down 32-0. Nothing to lose. Thoughts…

Obviously there are more opportunities to make stupid decisions in Las Vegas, but its not like this couldn't happen in any league city, even Green Bay. 31 of the 32 cities are major metropolitan areas with lots of things to do and places to liquor up. No different from NYC, LA, Chicago or Miami. Just a bad decision that killed someone and ruined his own life forever at age 22.

What are everyone's thoughts about the production we can expect from Tannehill, AJ Brown and Julio Jones (one he comes back from injury) without Henry drawing maximum attention? I think that their numbers should actually go down. Tannehill is a game manager and now he won't have 8 stacking the box leaving wide open lanes for him to get the ball to Brown and Jones. Sucks for AJ, he was rounding into form and now he'll be doubled most of the time.

A team in my league chose not to replace his kicker and defense, took a zero at both spots, and won. Crazy gambles we take sometimes.
