Melvin Gordon vs. Raiders
Damian Harris vs. Jets
Gus Edwards vs. Panthers (if he plays)
(leaning Gordon)

non-PPR pick 1 (different league than above):

Pat Friermuth vs. Bengals

Gus is out. I'll go Melvin

I'm a little late son this but I would have gone Higbee with Kupp now out. Would not be surprised if he becomes more of a weapon for them. Coming from someone who owns and is playing Friermuth.

Went Gordon and Frier... would have had .8 more points going with Harris, but won both leagues pretty handily!

Have my only undecided matchups relying on Hopkins to play and score 9 half ppr and 18 ppr points.

Think we're at the point that Swift may have overtaken Najee as the biggest bust. At least Najee still is the RB1.

[Murph0408]

had a tough game with a slim lead and sent mike williams out there. other guy had kadarius toney. and just like that, game over.

waitin' all day for sunday night and then both these schmucks get hurt lol

Swifts usage is infuriating. That and Breece going down are killing me this year. Thankfully I have Henry and Jones but my bench is incredibly thin now. I’m 1 injury away from being screwed for playoffs.

Well dang, Melvin Gordon just waived by the Broncos!

[WHChampion]

Well dang, Melvin Gordon just waived by the Broncos!

3 months ago he was one of the premium backups in a hyped up offense. Imagine telling a Gordon drafter then that Javonte would tear his ACL week 4 but he'd be droppable before fantasy playoffs.

You could be me. I had a team down 40 going in to last night playing BOTH Williams and Toney to try to catch up. Didn't work out well, LOL.

hindsight but it did feel like williams was coming back faster than anyone ever has from a supposed high ankle sprain. but then again he's a beast and maybe it wasn't so bad to start with. idk.

Injurius Toney on the other hand, i don't know how to explain that dude

Williams said he was fine, and I certainly don't have anyone better to play in case he was lying about that. With Toney, when he came to the Chiefs, he said the hammies weren't a problem, which led me to believe that was all Giants disfunction, but apparently not. Now, I'm stuck for a WR (I had them in WR2 and Flex spots, but I can flex Rachaad, so that's not an issue). I have claims in for Skyy Moore, Drake London, and Treylon Burks, although I'm not super thrilled with having to actually start any of them.

[SoutheastBeast1]

Kyren Williams time on the field doubled last week. As the Rams fall out of it entirely I'm hoping they just go full Kyren mode by playoff time. I can honestly see him as the thing that carries me all the way this year.

[sfgiants13]

I just used half of my faab to try to grab Murray. Haven’t used much this year and shouldn’t have any use the remainder of the year barring injuries.

Is Slayton still available in your league? I think he's on the way up and with Wan'Dale done for it's only going to increase his targets.

[Jayarbie]

I just traded Slayton with Fields in that league for Conner and Geno. LOL.

Slayton actually stinks, though, IRL. I get that he's going to be playable in fantasy because they have no one else, but he runs bad routes and drops way too many balls. Richie James might actually be a thing again.

[Jayarbie]

Kyren is a wild card. He's going to be playing for a massively disappointing veteran team mailing it in for the rest of the year and, since it's likely Stafford is going to be shut down, he'll be playing with John Wofford or Bryce Perkins at QB with an O-line in tatters. On the other hand, they are likely to be passing a lot and he is primarily a passing down back, and the backup QBs are likely to look for check downs, so who knows? I definitely would not start him until I see that he has a startable work load, but the potential is there.

[Jayarbie]

I just used half of my faab to try to grab Murray. Haven’t used much this year and shouldn’t have any use the remainder of the year barring injuries.

Murray is as good of an RB that is going to come around on waivers at this point, so it's not a bad move. Adding Mike Boone for cheap in anticipation of coming off IR soon might be a sneaky play, too, if you have a spot.

[Jayarbie]

First Gordon, now Henderson. Wow, Rams pulling the plug? This will certainly increase Kyren's value.

I’d have to drop Gallup or Julio to make that work. Tempting though since both ride my bench.

[sfgiants13]

At what point do you consider benching Swift? His replacement would be kittle as a flex or maybe Julio. With his usage he’s going to get like 3 points unless he scores.

Das it mane!

I picked up Amon Ra last year mid season and basically rode him to a championship as he straight blew up down the stretch. I'm hoping Kyren is my Amon Ra this year lol

Gordon was never a premium anything. The handful of people that follow the Chargers already knew why. He has never been able to hold on to a football to save his life which makes him completely useless as he can't be trusted to touch the ball especially in critical situations.

Talk about tough games, I was winning the week by 1.5 points, 30 seconds left in the Sunday night game, no one yet to play on both sides, then Herbert throws an interception. I lose the week by .5 pts and 1st place.

[Cartiac]

Who would you start, Allen Lazard or Parris Campbell?

[sandcar3]

Who would you start, Allen Lazard or Parris Campbell?

IMO Lazard, first option for Rodgers > 3rd option (at best) for Ryan.

Non-PPR I need to fill 2 flex spots with the following options:

Pacheco vs. Rams
Gabe Davis @ Detroit (note I'm already starting Diggs in this league and am going up against Josh Allen)
Brian Robinson or Antonio Gibson vs. Falcons (1 of them will have a good game but which)
D.K. Metcalf vs. Raiders
Gus Edwards @ Jaguars (is he healthy and playing)

Current leanings are Pacheco and Metcalf.

[tripod29]

I drafted my team this year with a zero RB type approach. Slowly over the year my team has evolved heavily leaning RB so I am thinking I need to move a RB to get back to a more WR focused team.

12 team league. Full ppr. Currently in first place but have dropped some games recently so things have tightened up. I'm in the playoffs for sure.

Should I trade a A. Jones for someone like D. Hopkins (look at his playoff schedule,worries me), Lamb, Cooper, etc.

Current lineup

Herbert
Barkely
A. Jones
Diggs
Pittman
Andrews
J. Wilson
D
K

Bench
K. Williams
L. Murray
D. Peoples-Jones
Njoku
Mostert
E. Mitchel

For a lot of leagues the trade deadline has already passed, but I'll assume that isn't the case for your league. Of the WR's you listed Cooper is who I would want, he's quietly putting up a great year, and it could get even bigger once Watson is the one throwing him the ball. If you could get Cooper for Wilson, Mostert, or Murray though I would do that, if not I'd rather keep Jones and role with Diggs and Pittman at WR.

[SoutheastBeast1]

IMO Lazard, first option for Rodgers > 3rd option (at best) for Ryan.

.

I'm not disagreeing with this BUT Lazard is getting harder and harder to trust. And now it looks like Rodgers has decided to stop relying on him in the redone and throw (almost exclusively) to Christian Watson for some reason. Maybe it's just an anomaly, but it's troublesome. Lazard's success all year has really been propped up on his ability to score touchdowns because he's not lighting it up with yardage because GB's offense sucks.

It's probably my fault. Everyone I touch is on a dogsh*t offense so my apologies lol.

[WHChampion]

He put up 1.1k yards and 10 TDs last year despite sharing the backfield though. Just fumbled more than usual this year.

Could you try selling Mitchell to the CMC owner? Like Mitchell + a WR for a better WR?

Metcalf and Gibson for me.

Cobb is the man for this week in GB if you absolutely have to play a GB WR (I would avoid at all costs). Philly has two shut down corners on the outside, so anything you get in the passing game against them is going to come from the slot. It's probably more like a Jones/Dillon game since Philly is a little vulnerable to the run.
