Cretins

Word this evening is that Murray is more likely to miss tomorrow than he is to play. Even if he does play, how much is he going to be able to run? Murray really isn't a QB you can use if he's restricted to throwing. With Burrow on bye I'm holding my nose as I scrape the barrel for a viable plug in. I'm looking at Carr out there with a late game as well and may have to let this go down to the wire. Other options would be Wilson, Dalton, Brissett, etc. What's most annoying is the prospect of having to drop someone else to make room for a one week QB play.

I was coming in to post about Sutton as well. Only in this league there are 40 keeper picks off the board to start the draft, so I took him in the 3rd. Ouch!

That's correct. Non PPR. And I'll repeat for the elf as he seems a little slow... Hines hasn't run for 60 yards in a game nor crossed the goal line before week 8. His combined score for the entire season up to their week 7 bye was under 20 points in our league. Add to that the fact that he's clearly not even the second string RB on a piss poor offence, why the heck would you carry him? Weekly scores for our league before the bye .. 5.76, 3.7, 3.4, 1.1, 0.8. Sorry, there were much better stash options than Hines before that trade. But if you think that's value, I'll let you know next time we have an opening. You can save everyone else from the garbage.

Snarky snark snark. No, Mr Elfman, not 8 team. Long standing deep and aggressive keeper league, and given that he has yet to surpass 60 combined yards once this season with no TDs before 2 days ago, he was dropped a while back. But thanks for the completely useless post.

What does this do to Singletary's value? Will he continue to be fed 75% of their snaps, or is Hines going to eat into that more than Cook has been? They wouldn't have made this move if they didn't have some thoughts on how they could use him. As a Singletary owner I feel like I have to put the waiver claim in on Hines now.

I hear ya! After regretting sitting Singletary for Dobbins last week, they both rode the pine this week.

Debating what to do with Singletary with this. The weather should call for a lot of running, but could also mean a lost fumble here and there. After playing him weeks 1 and 2, then sitting him for his lone TD last week, which ever choice I make will be the wrong one.

I felt pretty good going into last night down 4 points with Dalvin Cook and Singletary left, against only AJ Brown for my opponent.

18 round keeper league. Picked Jared Bernhardt as my long shot last pick. Last year it was Pat Freiermuth. I got a lot of "Who?" responses for Freiermuth at the time, but nothing like Bernhardt this year. He's not even in the nfl.com list of eligible players yet!

Thanks for the input guys. There was one other wrinkle to the equation that I wasn't thinking about with my initial post. Keeping Brown would also have push another keeper from 9 to 8 due to the way the mechanics of our league work, so really the choice was... - Higgins + 8th round pick - Brown + 4th round pick Given that there will be 40 players off the board already and I'm missing my 1st round pick to start (Cook), I figure the WR picking could be pretty slim by the time I get my 2nd round pick (2.02). I ended up keeping Higgins in the 4th.

Stafford all day. Here's mine: https://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/topic/509931-wr-keeper-higgins-4-or-m-brown-9/

Deebo hands down. Here's mine: https://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/topic/509931-wr-keeper-higgins-4-or-m-brown-9/

Mooney given PPR, thought I'm not super sold on him. I'd go Dobbins in non-PPR. Here's mine: https://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/topic/509931-wr-keeper-higgins-4-or-m-brown-9/

That's a hard one to predict without seeing everyone's keepers yet. I do know one manager who's pretty high on him, so it wouldn't surprise me if he reached for him. I love Brown's early season potential, but I'll be annoyed later in the season if he crashes down to earth and Higgins explodes. I'm also a Bengals fan, so trying to not to look at this through Homer glasses!

A. Super solid start, plus a lot of potential in Akers. While Deebo in the 6th is tempting, the value of Akers in the 17th will likely be much higher. Then again my Achilles heel has always been rolling out a potent RB corp with middling WRs. Season success depends on catching those breakout WRs which tend to appear more often than breakout RBs.
