What happens if I don't move Taysom Hill out of the TE slot in ESPN? It just won't let me make any other changes to my roster?

Yes. Your roster is locked until you move Taysom out of TE. I had to move him because I had Burrow in at QB, so I had to make lineup changes.

Rivers, Carr, and Tannehill are all fairly safe high floor pickups ROS (assuming Rivers is healthy, although I haven't heard that there is a danger he'll be out - he plays through a ton of injuries and doesn't rely on mobility, and the Colts are in the playoff race). For this week, I like Carr's matchup the best.

Thanks. Got a claim in for Carr and Tannehill both.

need a rb badly...keeper league

thoughts on Metcalf for Gibson and Woods?

What are the keeper rules? I have Metcalf in a dynasty league, and I wouldn't trade him for anything in dynasty. He's still got 10 years of WR1. If it's something like where you drafted him in the 4th and can keep him for a 2nd or something like that, then it might be worth it. In re-draft with no keeper value, if you're hurting for a RB, the deal is good, so the whole thing is how much the keeper rules add to his value.

Currently have Goff and Minshew when he comes back. Have the option of picking up Wentz, Tua, Stafford, bridgewater. Should I just leave it be with Goff for now? Looked good early last week but fizzled out at the end.

i've been killing wentz but i'd probably drop minshew for him. despite my hesitation on carson he's a safer bet to at least get you 20 vs minshew, who knows what we even get out of him.

eagles have a nice schedule going forward.

[sfgiants13]

Copy that thanks. Wentz over Goff? The matchup is there for Wentz but he’s sucked ass lately.

No. Just add Wentz as a backup over Minshew or roll with just Goff.

[Murph0408]

ditto here. grab wentz as a cheap flier on a guy who is "supposed" to be good rest of season, but don't actually have to count on him yet.

goff has cardinals, new england, jets and seattle going forward. he's your QB1.

[sfgiants13]

Alright works for me. Thanks all.

[MURedHawk235]

Alright I am 10-1 and a guarantee of a first round bye at this point

Full PPR

Would you trade away james conner for Austin Ekeler?

My RBs are: Dalvin cook, Conner, Gio Bernard, P. Lindsey, A. Mattison, L. Murray

The Ekeler owner has to win this week to make playoffs and could use the RB help

Agh...no I wouldn’t, it’s too late in the season for me to do a big move like that. I don’t know how good gio is now without burrow. Ekeler practiced today but you don’t know if they hold him out more or if he re-aggravates it

Look at Carson and mixon both were described as close to returning over and over again yet nobody’s seen them in a month

I’d leave it alone

I agree. Trading Conner for Ekeler would be the risky upside play if you think you need something big to get you over the top. If you're the one 10-1 in the driver's seat, I'd rather play it safer and not take the risk that you get nothing out of Ekeler.

Ya you definitely don't want to trade into these injuries. Especially playoffs where they could easily get reinjured, pulled, and shutdown for the season at that point.

fuark i was so close to picking up the texans d

[hardestgainer]

On a 5 wk losing streak, need some help

QB-Wentz
RB- Henry
RB- Hunt
WR- Fuller
WR- D Johnson
Flex- Monty
TE- Gronk

Bench:
Amari, juju, drake, Edmonds, Boyd, Bell

PPR. Any changes? Amaris game is about to start, I’m just nervous playing him since I lost Dak (huge part of why I’ve been losing), I can drop Wentz for Carr

[sfgiants13]

Looks like I’m in trouble yet again. Guy I’m playing has Fuller.

Well, Fuller put up a 40 burger for me in my neighborhood league, so I think you should be OK, right?

[WHChampion]

Half my RBs were already dead and then Gurley and Ahmed died today.

Pick 1 desperation RB:
Breida @ NYJ
Henderson vs SF
Justice Hill @ PIT
Murray @ DEN

Also Samaje Perine and Hyde available. If one of those ends up starting I'll pick them up.

I'd say Murray for floor, Breida for ceiling.

what do people think with the insane broncos QB situation? i have melvin gordon with jordan wilkins on the bench. feel like you can somewhat trust gordon and lindsay in this game to put up a decent floor, even though its against the best run D.

I think I'd avoid all Broncos this week lol.

[blinkers88]

Guys with steelers players wtf are you doing? I have Ben Diontae and their D/ST. I just cant bring myself to risk playing them if the game gets cancelled somehow

[sfgiants13]

Yeah not touching Denver players this week

[Jayarbie]

How deep do DFS rosters go? Kendall Hinton is a practice squad WR starting at QB for Denver who should be virtually free if he's available in DFS.

I dropped Boswell for another kicker (because who really cares about who your kicker is anyway) and lined up as many Monday night replacements as I could (e.g. Seattle DST, Fulgham, B. Scott) so that I can at least delay making the call until Monday and see both what the Covid situation is with the teams and what my game score is/would look like with zeros for my Tuesday players. The only one I have to pull the trigger on tomorrow is T. Hill vs Ben at QB in one league.

Certainly, they are not going to have more than 12-15 completions in the whole game, so all receivers are worthless this week including Jeudy and Fant. As for the RBs, they are riskier, but someone like Gordon could also end up with a big game as the focal point of a run-heavy read option offense.

The wild card is Kendall Hinton, a practice squad WR who is starting at QB (he was a QB in college). They will certainly try to play a read option run game and limit this throwing, but negative game script against the Saints may dictate throwing by necessity eventually. If he ends up with 50 or so yards running and 150 throwing with a TD one way or the other (and 2 or 3 turnovers), that's a disastrous spot start for a QB, but what does it add up to in fantasy if you can use him as a WR/flex?

[WHChampion]

Thank God it looks like Ekeler is going to play so I'm going to roll with him.

In my 2 flexes I currently have:
JuJu/Fulgham (depending on how it's looking for Tuesday)
Crowder

Wilkins and Breida on bench. Either of those guys worth starting over Crowder? JuJu is the only player from this group I actually want to start lol.

i see him as a massive gamble. no promises he finishes the game either. they could throw the ball maybe 12 times and just run all day and basically tap out at halftime.

my league has it where you can declare a guy on your bench as the "backup" so if the game gets killed, the commissioner goes in and retroactively puts the backup in the game for you. it's not easy but it's the best thing we could come up with. PITA especially with so many fantasy-relevant players involved in that one.
