Are you in a 14+ team league where there aren't WW QBs to pick up? Post your team.

**rise21** · 10-08-2018, 07:50 AM

Mark Ingram for the win crew. I’m down by 11 with my Ingram Reed and K going tonight. Thank you Ari D/ST.

**weightsb4dates** · 10-08-2018, 08:08 AM

Goff so frustrating. Without Cooper Kupp to hold his hand he wasnt good. gurley saved that game for them. Of course i started Goff over Wilson after i traded chris thompson to get Goff. ruhhhh.

Also down by 6.72 points and ive got Will Lutz, hoping Washington Defense forces field goals.

Everything went better than expected. I am up 161.7 to 98.5 going into tonight. She only has Kamara playing. HNNNG! looking like we are 5-0 and the only undefeated team left now.

Thank you TB, Gurley, Connor, and Ebron for all going off!

need 23 from just Peterson in my league, it's ppr and he's gotten there 2/3 games this year, I'd say it's definitely a long shot, but I'm hoping he can do it again.

**IPoopStandingUp** · 10-08-2018, 09:51 AM

Need 27 from kamara tonight in .5 ppr. Please include me in your prayers

**Madvillainy** · 10-08-2018, 10:25 AM

is there any point in still hanging on to dez? i've had really good luck with injuries in the league i have him in and have still kept him all this time. waiver wire is completely picked over as it's a 16-team league.

There's no reason that you HAVE to keep him, but unless there is a good alternative, in a 16 team league, I wouldn't rush to drop him for some scrub that gets 3 touches per game.

**headinahole** · 10-08-2018, 10:27 AM

So benching the jags defense and playing mahomes..

that worked

I'd keep him in 16 team league.

Him and Keenan Allen, I'll never understand people who draft them in the first two rounds. Julio I would take a risk in the 3rd, Keenan in the 4th.

**Iceman1800** · 10-08-2018, 11:07 AM

Fournette already ruled out for week 6 per Fantasy pro's

Allan is a studd. Julio is too. They were both top 5 last year. They arent bad players its just everyone seems to expect them to get you 30 points a week. But I agree. I took keenan 4th round last year. Think i took Hopkins then Keenan.

I was aiming for Fournette in all my leagues. Missed him in every one. Looks like a blessing.

Josh Reynolds is the beneficiary IMO

Same here. I got him in one but am stacked at RB so it hasn't mattered for me.

i was all about him and been smh'ing ever since.

**kingofturtles** · 10-08-2018, 11:35 AM

^^^ I learned to stay away from hammy and groin injuries. Didnt want him after last years hammy. Those things never heal for athletes (or regular ppl)

Reynolds should be *A* beneficiary as well, but as a TE, it doesn't take nearly as much to get Higbee on the fantasy radar as it does for Reynolds at WR. WR is probably the deepest position in fantasy this year. TE has been ravaged by injuries and zero producers.

**weightsb4dates** · 10-08-2018, 11:36 AM

was aiming for Fournette is all leagues, only got him in one, but ent rb/rb so ended up with cmc as my rb2 who is now my rb1. still feeling the fournette burn tho

I'll look for Fournette next year as a 4th or 5th if this becomes a totally lost year. If people still want to believe in him as a 1st/2nd then no thanks, Jeff.

This. Every year I leave him off my draft sheet cause I don't want to deal with the headache.

Yeah, but LAR scheme doesn't heavily target the TE position. He got a couple more looks in game because they hadn't prepared to lose Cooks and Kupp. Higbee will be a desperation play at best. Reynolds will soak up most of the available targets if one of those guys misses time. I actually think they hold Cooks out unless he has a a miraculous recovery. He's had 3 concussions in a very short time span.
