FYI - Moreno just went on season ending IR for ACL injury. It's Miller Time!

What do you guys think of giving up Benjamin+Roddy for Shady? KB is #13 in scoring and my starting WR2. My RBs are Demarco/P.Thomas/Hill and WRs are Jordy/Benjamin/Keenan/Roddy/Randle. TEs are Cameron/Kelce.

Shady was impressive vs NYG and Sproles isn't 100%; it'd be nice to beef up at RB even though I'm solid. Then I'd have Keenan or Randle into WR2 role and Flex Kelce. However, I'd be losing a week of production since Shady is off and KB has a tasty matchup against Pitt.

My kicker is on a bye this week (Parkey). I'm thinking of picking up Hauschka or Cundiff but I'm having a hard time deciding who to drop. Potential drop candidates are: Jordan Matthews, Davante Adams, Lorenzo Taliaferro, or Owen Daniels. Who should I drop?

Drop Parkey and it's not even close.

 

[glenn1]

Drop Parkey and it's not even close.

Yeah, no reason whatsoever to hold two kickers. Unless you're one of "those guys" who try to roster guys you don't need just to keep them away from another owner who needs to fill a bye.

That's like an instant-accept IMO. Shady is guaranteed to have a better 2nd half of the year, and Rivers is lighting it up so I'm thinking Allen has to get in on that action at some point. Having Shady/Murray as your starting RBs is just insane.

Agreed. Having Shady and Murray is just not fair for the rest of the league.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

Holy crap. I need a Moreno replacement. Had him since the draft and now I need to dump him.

I need to save up my waiver picks for when a must have RB or WR comes up.

I have Patterson also and he's been sucking each and every week.

Kinda screwed with trades as I have no leverage at this point.

 

[T2urtle]

Shorts III, Lafell, SD's Floyd

PPR LEAGUE

Any of them worth spending #1 Wavier Wire on? I'm not hurting for a player but I hate having #1 because now i can use it speculations picks like Jarvis Landry.

3WR slots = andre Johnson, Cooks (NO), maclin, Crabtree. Greg Jennings. Lost Cruz.
1 FLEX slot is normally Peirre Thomas, Owen Daniels or the 4th WR if not on BYE

Really? Parkey is the #3 kicker this season. Hauschka is the #13. I'm not going to make a #3 kicker available for free agency pickup (not waiver wire league). I am one of those guys and it works for me because my bench is deep.

 

[T2urtle]

I'm hoping the guy in my league drops parkey, he has philly, parkey and josh Gordon. He has to drop one and I'll grade him later Sunday morning for next week. I got spots.

I tend to roster only one QB, TE, K and DEF. I would drop Daniels if he is a backup. Parkey is worth retaining.

I will grab a second QB if one is worth grabbibg , but I prefer to have a bunch of RBs and WRs in case one pays off. Also, if I hit in more than one, there is trade bait to upgrade a slot.

Who did you drop for the K?

 

[pete6032]

Well, Victor Cruz is out for the season, who're you guys picking up on waivers?

 

[ChAoTiCpInOy]

I dropped Jordan Matthews.

 

[Away]

Well, Victor Cruz is out for the season, who're you guys picking up on waivers?

I'm not sure who is available in your league, but I took a quick look at mine and saw Mohamed Sanu, Malcolm Floyd, and James Jones. Andre Holmes would be a nice sleeper pick as well.

I wouldn't mind taking a pro bowl kicker that calls this home:

Any other week, I'd say to grab Brian Quick if he is available in your league. If available, see if you can grab him as a free agent after waiver wire. This guy has been a solid WR3 for me. PS: Quick is up against Seattle this week.

[Away]

Thoughts...

Shorts if he can stay healthy. He got 10 touches on 16 targets last week and it looks like Jacksonville finally found a decent QB in Bortles.

 

[Kelvrick]

Thoughts...

Who would you be dropping? Assuming you're dropping someone not that interesting, I'd personally go with floyd or lafell. Both have the downside of being with QB's who target a lot of people, but also like someone who isn't them. I think I'd take Floyd over lafell.

Sometimes it is hard being at the top. DeMarco Murray, Le'Veon Bell, Jamaal Charles, Julius Thomas, and Rob Gronkowski. One of those guys has to go to the bench. My mind says Gronk is going to the bench, but he is getting more targets than Orange Julius and is going up against the Jets. The Jets are much friendlier to tight ends.

EDIT: Just noticed PPR. Rough choice since shorts will get more looks than the other two, but they have better qbs...

I just got a trade offer: I give up Andre Johnson and Antonio Gates for Kendall Wright and Rueben Randle. Should I take it?

Droppibg Greg Jennings

 

[Kelvrick]

I wouldn't do it. Johnson seems to be feeling better and he gets a lot of attention from fitzpatrick. Gates also gets a lot of love from Rivers and that offense is on a roll. Kendall is getting looks from a sub par QB and I want to say Randle is the same.

 

[Kev]

I dropped Jordan Matthews.

Sorry but running with 2 kickers is just a mistake. There's a reason why you always take a kicker with your very last pick in the draft. Now if Jordan Matthews blows up next week, you've lost him.
