Brutal. My killer WR duo of Golladay and Ridley never really had a chance to kill as a duo. Golladay is going to go though and exit the season just as he started it. Shame on us for drafting an injured player.Limited on Wednesday. DNP thursday and today.

First time that I drafted Golladay... it'll be the last too. So soft... reminds me of Ryan Mathews. Talented guy, but just lacks that heart. Some guys just don't have that toughness and grit that the great ones all have.

Drafted him. Ended up trading him and CMC when they were hurt. Was regretting it most of the year but what I feared would happen did. Both came back a bit early and reinjured themselves. Still lost most of my games because I got Sanders, Ertz and Kelley back but I wasn't wrong about what I thought would happen.

Has anyone seen any Golladay trades in PPR lately?
CMC didn't come back early, and he had an entirely different injury that was 100% unrelated to the other one.

Golladay's hip injury is also not the hamstring that kept him out at the beginning of the year.

Once injured, players tend to favor the injured spot leading to injury elsewhere. Or it could just be coincidence. Both guys though I feared would get injured again and both did.
Its possible/likely he had a setback 2 weeks ago. That said, he's basically a must-start whenever he plays, so he's still worth holding.

In redraft, is it time to drop? Not sure there is someone on the WW that I would add and start anyway. Others, like me may have to win this week to make playoffs. For example, I have Parker and Sterling but their QB situations are unpleasant. Maybe Jones from Detroit? Keke? This hobby is annoying.
If you have to win this week to extend your season then you should drop him if you have a player you are putting in your starting lineup and don't have any other drop options. Jones and Hall have been ok for Detroit and they are talking about increasing the pace on offense which will only help the entire offense. Keke is an interesting lotto ticket so that would kind of depend on if you are a big underdog or the favorite. I think his floor is really low but his ceiling should be pretty high.

What are offensive tendencies of the interim coach/coordinator?
They are talking about picking up the pace on offense. Patricia wanted to slow things down so that may be a benefit to all of the offensive guys moving forward. They have a lot of skill on that side of the ball. They should put up a lot of points and yards.
Probably because Patricia didn't want to expose his weak #$% defense. Back to Matt winning shootouts.

This guy, Michael Thomas, Mostert
Yeah...that trio are a big reason I missed the playoffs in one league.

Status updated from Out to Questionable. There is hope still.

Mans got 5 weeks until he make that money. He’s walking, right? Gotta be looking at 4-yr, $80M floor. Somebody will pony up and I doubt he wants to stick around for another rebuild.
It’s hard to figure out what that means fantasy wise. Consensus (which doesn’t often play out IRL) is a contract year guy is going to go hard to max out his market price. But what does Kenny G have to prove at this point? IDK, he’s a competitive guy but st some level he’s gotta be thinking about protecting himself, his body is his greatest asset.
Great playoff schedule, wish I would have traded for him. His manager in our league has gone from #1 (7-1) to #3 (7-5) over the last month. I gotta push for a later trade deadline for next season lol.
If you have space I would pick him up on speculation that he plays deep in the playoffs.
I can't imagine having the roster where there isn't somebody better to drop. Unless there are only 3 or fewer bench spots, and they have Bucs/Panthers on bye, it is likely a poor decision.
Agree I think it was a poor decision to drop.
I plan to make a respectable bid to pick him up and drop Antonio Brown but I need a decent RB much more than him.

All 3 of the Bucs WRs are relevant in good days
Unfortunately Tom looks pretty average of late, and can’t throw a deep ball
This time of year you don’t want to be the one giving somebody in a jam a free out
Last weekend somebody dropped Lev Bell Sunday morning bc of the COVID nonsense. I get it, he’s worthless ATM. But if CEH turns an ankle then somebody is gonna get a league winner for free.
Irks me. This is a newbie I let in unvetted right before the draft (friend of another manager.) He’s not getting an invite back next year.
I gambled and traded DJ Moore for him two weeks ago, right before Moore's return to fantasy relevancy.
Hoping Golladay is healthy and playing by next week...

This is really short-sighted. Why not let a bot manage the team if you're that way about it? You want to manage his roster for him? Get out of here with that nonsense. You're making somebody hold a freaking handcuff?
That's a terrible decision. I'd want no part of your league if that's the way you run it. Pisses me off just reading it.

I traded H Henry (also have Hock) and Buttkicker a month ago for Mostert, stashed him on IR. Gives me a solid Flex for the postseason but ngl I second guessed myself a few times.
The other dude cut the K and only starts Henry based on matchups. We’re playing this week in a meaningless finale; if I win I will have avenged every early season loss (back when CantGuardMike-Julio-Godwin all missed time.)
Kenny G is a special talent, if he lands in the right spot next year he could easily be a top 3-5 WR for years.

Cool, I wasn’t planning on sending you an invite but glad I was able to help you identify a trigger.
It’s a 26-year league of fraternity brothers. I didn’t arrive at my conclusion alone, but appreciate the input.
ETA: @rockaction - you actually made a great point, and my default as Commish is hands off, we’re all adults and RL gets in the way sometimes. The broader story is the guy is not a great fit. I got a couple texts from LT members who didn’t think that the drop was very savvy and we take pride in having a competitive league. For further context, dude chose Bell over Ahmed, Ballage, Breida, Wilkins - 4 timeshare guys with no path to bell cow status unless two guys get hurt. But, you’re still correct - that one drop alone isn’t enough to withhold an invite next year. There were other factors, it’s not worth getting into here.

Ah, okay. You know what? I re-read my post. Sorry to come so heavy-handed. That was indeed triggerish on my end. I sometimes stick up for guys that make poor moves because sometimes everything is relative, roster-wise. The way I learned ten-fifteen years ago? I'd have been out of so many leagues. I'm going through growing pains in IDP dynasty right now, too. I'm symapthetic, I guess, to newcomers, but if there's other things and it's that kind of long-standing league, then I can see it.
Carry on and my apologies.
I actually see no issue with cutting Bell. He's the #2 RB, and is unlikely a league winner even if CEH goes down. He'd likely just split work with Williams instead. Maybe he's a solid RB2, but that's true of a ton of guys if the guy ahead of them went down.

I still apologize for tone and heavy-handedness but also agree with the substantive part of this argument.

Cool. I didn't like reading that and it was just unbridled id without reflection for time, tone, and circumstance. Peace.

Yep, agreed @travdogg - if it’s debatable then hands off is the best option.
But I think guys are using it as an excuse to get me to agree to not invite him back. They’ve got a valid point without bringing up team mgt competency, though.
We’re on a rabbit trail here and I apologize to people looking for Kenny G info.

Unfortunately this is league is redraft/no keepers plus we don't have IR spots.
I assumed Golladay would be back by now, so my gamble won't pay off unless he is playing by next week.

Sounds like this "newbie" might be better at evaluating player talent than you are. CEH isn't much more than a desperation start at this point, even if he goes down I wouldn't expect much out of Bell.
As for Golladay, I have been holding him all year hoping he gets healthy but can understand owners giving up on him at this point, especially in a shorter bench league. I'll have trouble starting him until I see he is actually healthy and by then the season might be over.

It’s a fair move. He hasn’t been on the field in a month and isn’t practicing. I almost dropped him this week but didn’t see a shiny penny worth grabbing.

It’s not looking promising at the moment. He was working on the side with a trainer yesterday but never came out of the facility today (DNP.) Bur if he plays I would treat him like Julio (if he’s playing you’re starting him.)
Interesting if irrelevant factoid: The Lions are just 1-5 when Kenny G doesn’t play, and 1-6 when he doesn’t play four quarters. (They’re 3-1 when Golladay does play four quarters.)
Golladay is basically a must start whenever he's playing. He has 100 yards or a TD in every game he's played, and the offense will likely be better with Patricia gone.
I can't imagine a team not having someone better to cut. Golladay is a top-15 WR regardless of matchup when active, there is nobody like that on waivers.
