Interesting decision to make this week with waivers.

we have (4) teams tied at 5-2. One of the other teams just lost Kerryon Johnson.

I’m sitting 4th in waiver position and wondering if it’s worth a claim for Ty Johnson to possibly block the Kerryon owner from getting him. Ty Johnson doesn’t crack my starting lineup, but certainly don’t want him falling to the other owner.

Kenny Stills is also sitting on waivers, and Houston’s next three opponents give up a lot of fantasy points to WR

if I pass on one of those guys, I probably end up 2nd in waiver position heading in to the playoffs. But we have a deeper bench league, so I’m not sure the true season changing waiver pickup is there this year. Almost all of the high value handcuff guys are already owned

[sandcar3]

If Kerryon is in fact out multiple weeks, who is the back to own there? McKissic or Johnson?

If you’re in Standard, McKissic is a non-factor. More difficult decision in PPR

My fear is that we’re gonna see some sort of 60/40 split

I agree it will be a split, but IMO Johnson will get the majority of the split, will get the goal line carries, and will get the first crack at being the "featured" back.

Agree. Thanks!

hearing Johnson is going to get "most" of the work and would be the pick up in standard...

McKissic could see decent work in ppr

offer sent my way.
I send Waller and Golden Tate
I receive Devante Adams

i know how great Adams is and I know he's probably back this week. I also think i'm giving up a little too much.

my 4-3 roster:
Josh Allen QB
Zeke Elliott RB1
Freeman RB2
Tyreek Hill WR1
Robert Woods WR2
Waller TE
James White FLX

bench:
Golden
Fuller
Pollard
Jameis

help wanted guys thanks

So who is your TE if you send off Waller? You didn't mention another on your bench.

Does he have a TE he could include for you, too? Waller is past his bye, so he shouldn't need another TE. The biggest problem for this is that replacing Waller with a FA TE is going to be a serious loss for you.

[Murph0408]

^^his current TE is Greg Olsen. He is willing to include him. so let's paint it as
Olsen and Devante
Waller and Golden

sadly the dropoff to olsen is significant. the dropoff from waller to almost anybody at the position that is available is significant

Olsen is at least significantly better than an FA, but yeah, I'd hesitate at that because of both how good Waller has been and how poor the rest of the TE position has been.

Also, not for sure knowing when Adams will be back. He hasn't gotten a single second of practice in for 3 straight weeks.

oh absolutely. yet that is why the deal is available. if devante was healthy i probably wouldn't get him for my TE (albeit a great one) and my 3/4th receiver

Yeah, that's a tough call.

Is the team that lost Kerryon thin at RB? Ty Johnson is tricky because I could see Detroit signing Ajayi. They'll also use JD McKissic on passing downs. But Ty runs 4.30s and is strong af, watched him at Maryland and he was a monster especially early in his career.

With Fuller out, Stills looks really appealing. I'd probably use the claim on Stills unless the guy with Kerryon is super thin at RB and grabbing Ty would completely cuck him. Also someone with a higher waiver will possibly take one or both of these guys.

I have Sanu in one of my leagues, I wonder if he'll have actual production on the Patriots.

See if he will include an RB as well as Adams.

I don't see how he'll have fantasy worthy production. His value will be real life only.

[thefullmonte]

I think we are at a point where the New England wide receivers are somewhat like the way we used to view their running backs… Somebody is going to have a great game… But any given week you don’t know which guy that is going to be

Sanu Will probably annoyingly finish as a top 30 wide receiver… But the week to week productions going to be pretty inconsistent

[weightsb4dates]

in this crew. I actually think they over paid. im not sure what they saw in him but it been said that they have wanted to sign him since march.

The only WR that is a sure thing is Edelman. He'll always produce. I'm not sure where Sanu will fit in the depth chart, probably #3, so I don't really see him hurting Edelman or Gordon's production too much.

Kareem Hunt practiced with the Browns Monday and set to return week 10. It'll be interesting to see how they utilize him. Browns Owner loves him. With Chubb being the most consistent piece in that offense, it'll be interesting if they start splitting carries. Kareem Hunt is a great talent himself.

Sanu is a very underrated WR. Dependable, consistent and very talented. Sanu isn't going to be Randy Moss 2.0. He'll be a reliable, veteran out there to help the offense.

I think he is a little pricey for the cap space we have, but I heard they're trying to re-work his contract and turned some of his contract into a bonus or something. Next year his cost is $6.5m with is pricey.

I do agree that a 2nd round pick seemed steep, but I'll defer that price to the Patriots who didn't seem to mind.

I think this trade was good for both sides. The only side that I believe this trade was bad for are the teams that are trying to trade for AJ Green. With Sanu going for a 2nd, interested teams are now going to have to offer a 1st and some additional early picks (3rd-4th) to get AJ.

Easy accept for me if you get Olsen with Adams.

i think i'm going for it. adams playing right away would make me feel better but we'll see. the core of reek-zeke-adams is too nice to pass up.

[bullybreed]

Emmanuel Sanders traded to San Fran.

[thefullmonte]

Last week I was trying to clear a roster spot and offered Chase Edmonds to the David Johnson owner for almost anything just so I could pick up a WR to cover a bye week.

He wouldn’t bite. And Edmonds rode my bench last week.

Pull up team this morning...guess which team I play this week?

2 man, .5 PPR, waiver resets the next week in order of claims. 2 adds per week.

FA's I'm considering:

Matthew Stafford, Curtis Samuels, Kenny Stills, Ty Johnson

What should I do? I'm 3-4 and need the win.

I'd definitely try to upgrade your QB position, is Stafford the best available?

Beyond that I'd go for Ty Johnson, RB's with value are harder to come by than receivers so if you could get him, even if you don't play him, he could get a TD and then be used as trade bait.

Stafford is the best QB available and he has the easiest schedule. I'm somewhat confident in Darnold moving forward. Looking at my team, which of the two should I aim for? I also have Gurley, Jones, and Cooks on bye next week. I know I'd start Stafford over Daniel Jones, but would I even start Ty?

Wasn't looking at your bye weeks but yeah week 9 is rough for you. First I would pick up Stafford, then roll with Stafford or Darnold every week based on match ups (I'm with you Darnold is better than he showed last night and does have a good schedule coming up). Next you need (at least) a WR for week 9. I'd probably try to trade for 1 rather than picking up and banking on Samuels or Stills. Maybe you could trade Gurley and get back a lesser RB+WR. Or even Julio for a lesser WR+RB. I'd also pick up Ty and depending on how things shake up maybe he would be start-able or trade-able for week 9. I'd look at the teams in your league and see who has 3 or more solid WR's then figure out how to trade for 1 of them.

Kerryon is going on IR.

Ty Johnson time.

[thefullmonte]

Kerryon Johnson had knee “procedure” done today. Headed to IR with hopes to return.

Watch the trade market for Lions
