Wonderful response, very insightful.

I think the hunt/hyde/allen side got a better deal. He basically got carlos hyde for free.

Hunt/allen for Bell/landry would have been better.

[JUGGERNAUT1333]

Waiting for this trade to go through. I was 4-0 and have dropped 4 straight now in this league. Full 1PPR 10 team. Thought I had a strong as hell team and then I lost Rodgers. Felt I needed to do something. Team I traded with is 3-5.

Sending Hunt/Allen/Hyde
Receiving Bell/Landry/Seahawks dst

My team after trade:

Cousins/Rodgers
Bell/Freeman/Martin/Mixon/Woodhead
Nelson/DT/Landry/C. Davis
Ertz
Lutz
Seahawks

His Team after trade:

Taylor
Hunt/Hyde/Collins/Blount
Allen/Richardson/Sanders/Sanu/Hogan
Kelce
Tucker/Gostkowski
Philly/Arizona


What do you think about this? Did I give up too much for Bell? I had so much depth at RB and still do I think I could afford to give it up....Hunt/Hyde/Collins all have week 10 byes so he is a little screwed next week. I'm playing the weakest team in the league this week, figured I could get a win without Hunt running Freeman/Martin for now.

Personally I value Bell over Hunt. Kenaan = Landry, they are basically the same player. Seattle D/ST isn't anything to be excited about because they' taken steps back but they do have some good matchups going forward.

EDIT: Forgot Hyde.....this could bite you in the ass if he starts playing well with Jimmy G behind center after their bye. But thats speculative. He has been underwhelming so far, and you most likely wouldnt' start him over Freeman or Dougy.

Don't hate the trade, but I wouldn't say its a massive improvement but rather your preference of Bell or Hunt.

Hyde has been so up and down he has never even made it into my lineup. After this week it will be Bell/Freeman the rest of the way without worrying about byes. Hyde has a nasty schedule after his bye. Hawks were a filler for me, because he was reluctant to give up Bell earlier in the season. I value Bell higher than Hunt as well and the Hawks have a good schedule going forward. Allen has been trending down the last 3 weeks as well.

[BeastinFitness]

Pick 2 to start

Mohamed Sanu vs CAR
DeVante Parker vs OAK
Paul Richardson vs WAS
Robby Anderson vs BUF

Also,

HOU D/ST vs IND or BUF D/ST vs NYJ (im thinking HOU due to matchup)

Personally, I feel if you get the player you want despite giving up "too much" but don't hurt your starting lineup, then you can call the trade successful.

[pl_powr]

Powell or D. Henry at flex?

Standard scoring.

Bump

Powell plays on TNF and doesn’t have a great matchup. He put up 4 pts first time around vs Buffalo

Henry has a plus matchup with Baltimore but Murray... wish he would just go away.

Agreed, and honestly unless Hyde starts to go off every week because of Jimmy being the QB, he wouldn't have made it into my lineup after Hunt's bye.

I can't believe were in week 9 and Tennessee still hasn't given the reigns to Henry. Murray has been injured/ineffective all year. They are clearly only starting him due to financial commitment. I'd go with Powell due to more volume.

Because Murray can block and catch better

Last two games it's been almost perfectly split carries between the two

Ravens give up almost as many rushing YPG as they do passing YPG lmao. It should be safe to assume that Titans should be more efficient running the ball, especially going up against a team with a back up QB and weak WR core like the Ravens

Lettuce hope TEN contains Collins so they can have more time of possession

I suppose, but there is no denying Henry is a superior runner at this point. He should be getting the bulk of the carries.

He is also superior in facial aesthetics, and we all know it's all about the face

But srsly, you're right, but with Mariota's recent injury, he needed someone more that can just run the ball, short passes that he doesn't need to step into, extra protection

[The_Standard]

AB's next three games: IND, TEN, GB.

hhnnggg.

Oh, I don't regret drafting AB in the slightest; LeVeon owner too, so I'm looking forward to extending my lead as my league's high scorer during that stretch of games.

lol @ facial aesthetic comparison, but this point above makes sense. We will see how it goes going forward. I have Henry stashed in the event he takes over.

And I'm a Murray owner which is why I'm trying to cope

Classic Murray owner vs Henry owner discussion

[pl_powr]

Saw previous page. Good discussion, thanks.

Hoping for more news on Murray’s “injury” before the TNF game tomorrow.

With how poorly Powell did against Buffalo earlier this year km leaning towards Henry.

[bustermac]

Brock Osweiler starting QB for the Broncos this week.

So strange.

[YoungMetro24]

Is it worth it to even put up a fight this week?

I have Brady/Keenan/Hogan/Gost/Vikings D/AB all on bye this week.

Plugged in these players to attempt to put up a fight:

Tyrod
Paul Richardson
Sanu
Tucker
Cardinals D
Martellus bennett or ty Montgomery (in the flex)

[kingofturtles]

cousins or tyrod ROS?

[wow strong misc]

Vernon or delanie this week

[Jayarbie]

Vernon or delanie this week

I have the same dilemma. Because the reports right now are that Reed is not playing and Delanie might not, I'm going with Davis. If those reports become more optimistic for either or both, I may change my mind.

[kids.got.soul]

cousins or tyrod ROS?

Cousins definitely has the higher ceiling but Tyrod has a nice schedule for the rest of the season.

Kirk has a rough next two weeks...

I think Hyde + Allen could've gotten u back better than Landry+Seattle

HOU D/ST vs IND or BUF D/ST vs NYJ (im thinking HOU due to matchup)

Robby/Sanu

Houston. Indy gives up the most points to DSTs

Richardson has been hot but runs into a tough matchup vs Norman/Breeland

Devante has a great matchup but hasn't played in a few weeks

[SlappinPitches]

Anyone else struggling with what to do with Cam Newton? Every week I expect him to break out, but the lack of consistency is killing me to say the least. Although he isn't flashy, I picked up McCown. Thoughts on starting him this week or should I stick with Cam?

[RomBrah]

Pick 1: 0.5 PPR

Seferian-Jenkins vs BUF (9th most to TEs)
Funchess vs ATL (11th fewest to WRs)
Corey Davis vs Bal (2nd fewest to WRs)
Morris vs KC (11th fewest to RBS)

Bills have been rough on opposing QBs but any normal week I'd probably take McCown over Cam

doubly so now that Cam is minus 1 big dude to overthrow balls to

Thats what I was leaning towards now that Benjamin is gone. Appreciate it

[Upshall18]

Josh Gordon is bake?

[pl_powr]

QB is killing me...

Just traded for Cousins the other week and he stunk it up week 8.
Now Winston is available on waivers and I should be able to get him with my #4 waiver.

Cousins @ Sea

Or

Winston @ NO

???

[Iceman1800]

Josh Gordon is bake?

ESPN is reporting he's been reinstated
