gotta give it up to Derrick Henry. came into the season with a lot of questions about his health. lots of folks saying he'd never be the same again especially without AJ Brown around.

since then Tannehill got hurt, LT Lewan got hurt and they've gotten zero out of Robert Woods or Treylon Burks (also hurt). Everyone in the arena knows Derrick is running the ball yet he keeps trucking and dominating. What a star.

Yeah, I avoided him in all drafts at the spot where he was being taken because of the question marks (although also partially because my leagues are PPR) and I keep expecting him to slow down, but he keeps getting better.

[WHChampion]

The only league I have Henry in I didn't even want him but got caught price enforcing in the auction.

Even this season people were super down on him after the first couple weeks. Him, Ekeler, and Kamara. Funny how quick things change.

McCaffrey, Henry, and Ekeler were guys I was not willing to invest in at their ADP at all, mostly due to health and overuse concerns. I was actually seeking Kamara in the drafts that happened after it was clear his legal hearing wouldn't be until after the season, but I didn't get him anywhere. Most of my teams are struggling at RB but stocked at WR as a result. The team where my RB situation is best is the one where I hit big time on all of my mid round RB picks (Etienne, Stevenson, Pierce).

I thought Kamara wasn't going to get enough volume or scoring opportunities with Olave, Landry, MT, and Taysom around. Did end up with him in that Henry league though because I got him so cheap too.

Stevenson was my biggest mid round target this year. Getting him in the 7th-8th or for $6-8 in auction felt good. I wanted Pierce too but his hype was insane by the time my drafts started with him often going in the 4th-5th or for like $20 in auctions. Obviously was worth it now but back then it was hard spending that much on a 4th round rookie.

[Murph0408]

so far my biggest miss was Justin Herbert. made sure to get him on both my teams. hasn't hurt one squad and has absolutely hurt the other.

not much you can do. not his fault either. injuries suck and that's life sometimes. can't sit the guy although vs. the 9ers off a bye week it'll be tempting to.

[SoutheastBeast1]

I whiffed on every RB choice I made this year. Took Lazard mid-draft though and have been relatively happy with that choice.

Also got Hurts later than I think he should have gone. No one seemed to want QBs in my draft. I'm usually one of the last to grab my QB but it eventually got to a point where the value seemed too good to wait.

I got Pierce in the 6th. I wasn't really targeting him because this was when the hype train was out of control (my draft the next day, he went in the 3rd!), but at 6, I was more than fine with it. This is how it went. My whole starting lineup now is original draft picks except Brandon Aiyuk and my kicker. I traded Zeke for Aiyuk:

Round Player
1 Jefferson, Justin
2 Kelce, Travis
3 Etienne, Travis
4 Elliott, Ezekiel
5 Mooney, Darnell
6 Pierce, Dameon
7 Bateman, Rashod
8 Stevenson, Rhamondre
9 Pickens, George
10 Lance, Trey
11 Bills
12 Dotson, Jahan
13 Tagovailoa, Tua
14 Chark, DJ
15 Collins, Nico
16 Hopkins, Dustin

This team is 8-1 now. Obviously, QBs went way too fast, so I did QB0 and thought Lance was a good value at 10 and Tua at 13. Obviously, Lance didn't work out, but Tua is a legit QB1 (as long as he's not mush brained), and I got Fields a couple weeks ago before he broke out on waivers, so I'm looking pretty good there. I overdrafted Mooney, who's been a monumental disappointment, but getting Aiyuk for Zeke solved that issue. The only people not still on my roster right now are Zeke (traded), Bateman (out), Lance (out), Dotson (hurt), Chark (sucks), Collins (sucks), and Hopkins (kicker, who cares).

Fields has been a season saver for those of us who drafted Russ, Brady, Rodgers, Stafford etc.

Really should reevaluate my draft strategy next year and grab a QB early to avoid this mess though. Hammering WR in rounds 4-7 is an overrated strategy even though that's what every analyst suggests you do.

I evaluate every draft in real time. I'm in three redraft leagues. In my money league, Allen was still available in the third, so I jumped on that. In my friends league, Allen, Mahomes, Herbert, and Lamar were drafted early, but Hurts was still there in the 5th (and I wanted to invest in the Eagles), so I thought that was a good spot for him. This league is my neighborhood league. Herbert and Mahomes were first round picks, and the QB ranks were depleted very early, so I just passed on it until the late rounds. I took Lance, who was touted as a possible breakout candidate at the time, three rounds after the previous QB taken because everyone else had a starter and wasn't drafting backups yet. It allowed me to get Zeke in the 4th with a 3rd round ADP, Pierce in the 6th when he was typically going in the 4th, and Stevenson in the 8th, which are looking like potential league-winning picks. I hit on one of my late round flyers and got lucky that someone had to drop Fields for bye weeks when he was struggling, so it worked itself out.

i came into this season feeling this way and spent fairly big on justin herbert. it doesn't always work the way you think it will.

Watson's available in 2/3 leagues. Should I hope he goes undrafted or should I waste the #2 waiver? I have bad QBs. Cousins/A-rod in one and Daniel Jones/Streaming in another.

[SoutheastBeast1]

Had someone recently try to acquire Diontae Johnson from. I didn’t like what they were offering but was considering a counter offer of Johnson and Singletary for Fournette.

What’s the thought of Fournette at this point? Is he headed for a true split with White?

Bucs OLine hasn’t been good either so as bad as Diontae has been and mediocre as Singletary has been… is Fournette even worth it?

Half PPR league

White has looked like the better of the two backs, although the line issue limits any RB from Tampa. That's a tough call. None of those guys are really inspiring, TBH.

i would. i don't mind cousins but at this point it's worth finding out what happens w/ Watson.

i don't think Fournette will ever have a problem getting touches as long as Brady is in Tampa. I'd try that deal and get Lenny now while the Rachaad rumors hurt his value.

Currently have Dak but I'm not sold on him. I tried to pick up Fields but someone bid 20% of their FAAB to grab him so I'm stuck. I stashed Watson on my bench. Current pickup options are Brady, Mariota, Jimmy, Goff, and Cousins. Any of those worth playing this week over Dak?

if you can't trust Dak off a bye week why even roster him? he just blew up vs CHI. fully healthy at this point. gallup working his way back from a big injury.

rumors of them getting Odell too. I'd roll with him.

Forgot about OBJ. Yeah maybe I will roll with him. I've had him sporadically for a few random years and every time outside of a few big games he leaves me disappointed. Then again my RBs do the same.

I'm actually very curious what Watson looks like when he comes back. I've even considered throwing out trades where I offer up Hurts to someone hurting at QB to see what I could get where I would roll the dice that Watson is effective for myself.

I won't be shocked at all if he's a top 5 QB. I know it's been over a year but I refuse to believe he's just forgotten how to play. Even Vick came back after being in prison and was semi effective and that was with longer time away, more controversy, and coming back much older.

no one waivered watson. coulda got him as an FA. feels bad.

can someone rank moonshot RBs?

- Jaylen Warren
- Rachaad White
- Isiah Pacheco
- Kyren Williams

I have so many garbage RBs trying to find a somewhat competent RB2. I think I'm giving up on Pacheco. Kyren is a fun add for a week until he flops.

I think Pacheco is the safest drop out of those since he's not really getting much work despite being declared the starter like 3 weeks ago. White has the highest upside if Lenny gets injured.

If you have space I'd grab Kyren. If nothing else he's the great unknown of that group. I know Pacheco does nothing with his role, I know Rachaad is completely dependent on a Fournette injury. I don't know what happens once Kyren gets moving with the Rams. he could take the job. they are not in love with Darrell or Akers.

Agreed. Godwin would be just a backup for you. Trading Tua isn't a terrible idea, but you need more.

Thanks brahs, thought the same. Dude told me Godwin is worth more than Tua and it should be as is so I 180d out of that trade

I'd take it. Godwin is averaging 10 targets per game. Just hasn't scored yet. I'd play him over everyone that's not Barkley, Henry, or AJB so you're trading a bench QB for a weekly starter.

[velociREPtor]

Made a trade:

Sent: Dak Prescott, David Montgomery, Courtland Sutton
Received: Lamar Jackson, Robert Woods

.5 PPR, .2 points per carry

My team before trade:

QB: Dak Prescott
RB: Joe Mixon
RB: Kenneth Walker III
RB/WR: Dameon Pierce
WR: Justin Jefferson
WR: Mike Evans
TE: Tyler Higbee
D/ST: Titans this week, been streaming
K:Justin Tucker

Bench:
David Montgomery
James Robinson
Melvin Gordon
Khalil Herbert
Alexander Mattison
Courtland Sutton

He needed WR/RB help - Monty and Sutton aren't starters for me and I upgrade from Dak to Lamar Jackson at QB.

With Mixon and Jackson on BYE this week plan is to start K. Herbert and pick up Trevor Lawrence I think.

Will probably just drops Woods for Palmer/Claypool/Hardman. Who would you pick up tonstash in my empty spot, Elijah Mitchell or Kyren Williams?

Thoughts?
