12 team, redraft, 0.5 PPR My lineup, starters bold : QB - Drew Brees, Derek Carr, Alex Smith RB - Matt Forte Flex (RB/WR) - Charcandrick West WR - Antonio Brown WR - Amari Cooper Flex (RB/WR/TE) - Jonathan Stewart, Stefon Diggs TE - Julius Thomas, Eric Ebron, Richard Rodgers I'm considering a trade sending Carr and Cooper for Latavius Murray and Gary Barnidge. Lost Forte this weekend obviously, our trade deadline is Wednesday, so we probably won't have a definitive timetable for Forte by then, so I have to plan as if he's done for at least most of the rest of the season. I could slot Diggs right into Cooper's spot, replace Forte with Murray, upgrade my TE big time, but then I depend on Brees to be my guy rest of the way. He's @TB, vs DET, vs JAX in the playoffs, two home games, that's nice, 2 Top 5 matchups and a top 15 matchup. Don't want to get too excited about the 7 TD game when he's been a 1-2 TD per game guy outside of this past week. Carr is @DEN, vs GB, vs SD, not a great matchup in the bunch, but he's been a 2-3 TD per week guy pretty consistently. RBs doing much better against all 3 of those teams than QBs though, so it might be better to have Murray than the Carr/Cooper combo. We've got 2 loaded teams just crushing people up in the league, gotta swing for the fences against them. Looking for some opinions, thanks for reading and responding.

Having a lot of heartburn over how to evaluate rookie WRs this year. We were so overwhelmed by last year's WR class that I feel like have to be extra careful not to expect the same for this year's class. I'm sure a lot of them have talent and/or are in good situations, but when I actually do a mock, I can't seem to pull the trigger and draft them. Am I missing something? Curious how you guys see, for example: - Agholor: Rookie coming into a seemingly complicated system, certainly not #1 in targets, team will be run heavy, not convinced QB situation is stable (Bradford's knees, Sanchez's arm). On the other hand, it's a Kelly offense, they run a lot of plays, if Matthews is in the slot Agholor gets high-quality, high-ADOT targets and scores, and Evan Silva like many predicts he "Will hit big time if he wins every-down WR job." ADP soon after Allen Robinson and Decker, well before Charles Johnson (who I like a lot). - Cooper: Not the fastest times, terrible overall offense, bad QB play, faces good pass defenses in the division and outside the division (Bengals, Jets, Browns, Lions). But he's clearly the WR1 and will be a target hog. ADP above Davante Adams, Brandon Marshall, Andre Johnson, Landry (esp in PPR this doesn't make a lot of sense to me). - Perriman: Injured. Raw. Drop issues. Flacco's second option at best. Won't have time to absorb playbook/get reps. ADP right after John Brown and before Kendall Wright and Steve Smith, which I find insane. - Funchess: Thrown into the role, doesn't seem to be Kelvin-capable replacement (and even Kelvin, who I drafted in every league last year, had his issues), has had injury issues this preseason, Cam's inaccurate, Carolina seems to be imploding offensively. But, like Cooper, probably a target hog since they have nobody else to pass to. ADP right next to the oft-ignored Anquan Boldin, who's a decent PPR WR2/3 bet (Kaepernick won't connect with Torrey Smith, that's for sure). - Devante Parker: I know nothing about this guy except that 1) he's injured and 2) every analyst and high-stakes FF player seems to love him. Fortunately, he's cheap right now. And then I see that some veteran WRs seem to be completely off the radar. Brian Quick's WR 57! Guy was a stud last year before injury and Foles has to be better than the QB carousel the Rams had last year. Eddie Royal's reuniting with Cutler, White's injured, they have no clear #2 behind Alshon, and Alshon himself is injured, yet Royal's ADP is WR 49, right before Harvin and after Cruz. Stevie Johnson's ADP on ESPN is something like 224, and he's got to be decent PPR value.
