Off the wire

[cmh6476 1,024]

Who are you targeting?  I'm giving up on Daniel Jones, and looking to find the most serviceable QB.

Howell, Purdy, Love, Mac Jones, Mayfield, Garoppolo, Pickett, Wilson, Young, Stroud, Tannehill, Ridder, Zach Wilson seem to be the options.  I think I may target:

1. Pickett, 2. Purdy, 3. Love, 4. Howell

Need a replacement for Dobbins...

Kyler Williams, Josh Kelley, Gainwell, Javonte Williams, Edwards, Justice Hill, Rochon Johnson, Chuba Hubbard, Allgeier, Deon Jackson, Zack Moss, Jerome Ford

1. Kyler, 2. Gainwell, 3. Edwards

Skyy Moore can fock off

Jakobi Meyers, Kendrick Bourne, Shaheed, Nacua, Atwell, Zay Jones, Mooney, Doubs, Atwell are some names I'm seeing

1. Nacua, 2. Shaheed, 3. Jones

How many teams?

10 and both non ppr

[GutterBoy 2,899]

I would go Purdy over Pickett,.

For RB, if you need a starter now, Gainwell, if you're looking for depth then Javonte.

For WR, Nacua and Dobbs are the top 2 choices.

[Pimpadeaux 2,406]

Nacua or Aiyuk?

How are you in a league where Aiyuk wasn't drafted?

[BeenHereBefore 1,517]

I think Pickett will be alright and he just faced a top D his first game and wasn't ready. He has a lot of weapons as well. Could be a early waver wire steal.

There has been talk that Pickett was concussed most of the game.

One guy in our league tagged Mahomes as his keeper and then drafted Justin Herbert in the first round.

There was a point last season where it seemed he went off the reservation and started doing his own thing. If he can find the balls to do it again, I think he can turn it around. I wish I could remember what game that was but it was a turning point in the season. It probably saved Tomlin’s winning streak.

Ohh haven't heard that, I think either way he turns it around.

Got ya and can't remember what game he got better but he had a fairly easy schedule the last 7 weeks of last season. I think he will be alright this season and hope too. I think he could be a early waver wire steal.

[GutterBoy 2,899]

Also I hate Kenny Pickett, ever since he came to our home town in 2015 and beat us on our turf.  We were defending champs and he ended our season in the playoffs.

[OldMaid 2,130]

Interesting… I figured it was a joke on last season when he was concussed twice early on. Especially with the last one being self reported. We joked while watching that he was playing so badly he self reported to get out of the game.

that sounds like the suitable level of competition for you to be competitive in.

[Hardcore troubadour 15,413]

If you have room maybe grab Kareem Hunt.  Probably get him for nothing. Decent stash. 

[GutterBoy 2,899]

Zach Moss if he plays will be the only health RB in Indy who doesn't suck.

Love, Purdy

Javonte (why is he available?), Gainwell, Allgeier, Moss     ..... of course if Ekeler misses time Kelley would be tops in the short term

Meyers, Doubs, Jones, .... although while its easy to say fock off to Sky Moore, most of these options give me that strange feeling they don't repeat week 1 and Moore ends up having a good game

I really like Jakobi,  Bourne and Nacua going forward. 
Atwell (even though I just picked him up in a dienasty league) will prolly get the fade when Cooper comes back, but the dood is worth a stash on the bench, right? 

Mooney I don't trust too much mainly because he as always seemed to be a semi boom but mostly bust option.  Plus, I'm not sold on Fields to get him the ball as much in the next few weeks.  I think it;'s gonna be the DJ show 

Zay Jones will prolly end up being 3d fiddle to Ridley and Kirk (great talent, tho)
Doubs looked pretty damn good, but thinking long term, Watson is obviously the man if healthy this week and Doubs is obviously injured of sorts

For the record, all of the above commentary is from a needle dik (myself) that lost his home league opener by massive points. (I got Tyreeked and Dallased)
So, my advice is by no means anything to listen to.   TIA

I already have Love and Doubs on my team because I drafted them.

I dunno about Bourne. He’s really never had any sustained production in his career. Doubt he starts now

Aiyuk wasn’t drafted in your four team league. That’s even worse.

I was answering for the O.P. who said they were available in his league and he's seeking advice. Looks like he meant Jamaal Williams (not Javonte). 

In that case I like Tyler Allgier and Justice Hill at RB.

Signed with Browns.

I grabbed Jerome Ford off waivers and think he will be the guy.

Agreed. Nobody’s been jumping to sign Hunt. Maybe he just wanted too much, but I dunno, I think it says something.

They let him walk to keep Ford as the primary backup. I think Hunt is a change of pace guy who maybe catches a few balls. I’m hopeful Ford takes on 12-15 carries per game and a few catches. Behind that OL he could be an RB2.

Hunt has been teasing ffootballers for years.

Possibility #2

Cleveland's next 3 opponents

Tennessee

Baltimore

San Francisco

Ford struggles to average 2 yd/carry. Enough time for Hunt to get in game shape and he becomes the lead back rest of the season.

It’s also possible that neither of them shines and it’s a muddled ineffective backfield for the rest of the season. But if I have to bet on one of them I’ll take Ford. He’s younger, has breakaway speed and the coach already said he’ll take over as lead back.
