I have lost a couple players due to injury.

I won a game this week where the IDP correction put me over where I had originally lost. I am now 11-0 in that league.

9-2 in some random league I joined

7-4 in a league where I had the Steelers against Antonio Brown. Thank you for running out the clock. I had Sanders, Bradshaw and Allen leave early this week.

I get to look forward to next year. The last league is a keeper league (three players and 0.5 PPR) and looking at what I have right now, there will be some tough decisions:

McCoy (I know he has had a down year but there just aren't enough RBs that are getting a bulk of the work)
Ellington
Emmanuel Sanders
AJ Green
Mike Evans
Josh Gordan

And down low on the list:

DeSean Jackson (will only look at him if RG3 is not playing)
Jordan Matthews

Right now, I am lokoing at:

McCoy
Green

That leaves Ellington, Sanders, Evans and Gordan looking at the last spot.
I'd go with Josh Gordon. Sanders and Ellington too injury prone, Evans not enough data on him yet although he looks promising but doubtful he could match Gordon's dominance.

They countered Gronk and Bryce Brown for Ingram and Andre Johnson.

Eh, it depends who else you have at WR. AJ garnered 5-6 targets in the 1st quarter last game with Mallet, so they may have a connection. On the flip side, he's only scored 1 TD so... yeah. And it seems like Houston is running the ball a lot.

Bryce Brown is really just a poor man's sproles who fumbles and you'll probably drop sooner than later. So you have to treat the trade as a top 3 Tight End for a low end RB1 and middling WR2. If you can absorb the hit with other players then you should go for it. I did something similar but on the other end of the deal, used AJ + M.Bryant to pull a WR1 in Josh Gordon. I think both sides can benefit from such 2 for 1 deals if there is a need and the value is fair (which I think it is in your case).

That's a reasonable counter, TE is pretty shallow this year and you're getting one of the top ones. You might have to pay a bit of a premium to get Gronk right now since Orange Julius might be hurt and out during fantasy playoffs.

I have Edelman, Davante Adams, Antonio Gates, Malcom Floyd, and Owen Daniels.

I'll probably finish 7th again, but I'm a glutton for punishment. Otherwise, I would have quit my fantasy league halfway through this season. :biggrin:

I'm in again too. We are at 3 of 8 so far.

I managed to hang on to 3rd last week. I've had a lot of weeks where I was dead last though and just kept pushing on even though I barely know what I am doing.

I'll join again. Fighting a horrible cold with a nasty fever so I don't want to make stupid picks right now and forget about it until Sunday. Flagged it in my calendar to join tomorrow or Saturday morning.

AJ is better than any of your current receivers but the difference between he and your WR3's is less than the difference between Gronk and Gates. Throwing in Ingram probably tilts the trade in their favor slightly but it's not outside the realm of reason, Pierre Thomas will be back any day now and he will take slightly more work from Ingram than Cadet did for the simple fact that he's way better than Cadet. AJ, there is no guarantees with a rookie QB for a receiver who has 1 TD. And like others have said, you will pay a premium for a top 3 TE right now since few are performing. Risky trade but I would do it.

We're all just playing for second place. As we all know, sp33demon wins first place every week

Heh, if I had the time I'd play with you guys but getting engaged + powerlifting + 2 regular leagues + taking care of a new pet doesn't leave a lot time for other stuff. Assembling a team in daily leagues is a whole other animal when trying to assemble the best team per dollar with a budget cap.

#5.

Any desire from the regular participants (you know who you are) and/or past winners to have a late season contest with higher stakes, kinda a "ATOT daily league superbowl"? We could raise buy-in from $5 to something like $25 or even $50, with prizes scaled up accordingly and really worth playing for.

I'd be up for something like that. I'd suggest $25, I think 50 is a bit much and will disinterest a lot of people. We should definitely get a hard head count

Week 15?

I'm in obviously. $25 and Week 15 is fine with me as we're done with byes and should have the full slate of players to choose from.
