Can we stop the Stafford stuff and focus on MVS in here?

Entire career. 7 seasons with Stafford, 2 without. Not going to research every year individually because I doubt it moves the needle.
Fair enough. I am debating MVS with AJ Green hurt. It's an end of bench spot so l'm also looking at Dez & Malcolm Brown. Probably going to go with MVS.

I've been starting him but to bye weeks, the last few. But I might just keep him in my lineup permanently. I can see a break out game real soon. And his floor seems to be pretty good
It would. Near the end it was brutal owning him. You had to own him and watch the games to see it. Sure when he first came in and threw to Calvin, it was a lot early in games. As an owner, I watched every game.
Yes, back to MVS.
At first I thought Jmon was the best receiver of the 3 rooks and MVS was a body catcher but these catches on the sidelines are pure hands catches.

I agree here. I'm actually benching him in one dynasty league in favor of J Moore as I think this game could see some higher volumes for backups.
Call me crazy but I dont have much to lose in that league... I'm in last place and against the 1st place team. Waiting for people to accuse me of tanking on purpose. although at this point I'm not upset if I keep losing.
I am starting him in another dynasty league because I dont really have much better alternatives due to byes and injuries

Where would you rank MVS for the rest of the year (including this week’s tough matchup)?
Without getting too “my team”, I have the option to trade for either MVS or Amari Cooper and, while very high on MVS, am torn between who I’d rank higher.
They both seem seem to be in that “Low WR2/WR3” with high WR2 upside.

in cases like this I go with the better QB. Cooper may get more volume but MVS may do more with what hes given. My opinion is their volume will be similar. GB passes more than Dallas.

I like both a decent amount. Can't say which one I like more but I'd trade for one of them. If I had to pick one maybe Cooper b/c I think Garrett is going to force balls to him to try and the owner look good. But like MVS quite a bit as well.

true, with the offense dysfunction I'm not sure they pull anyone too early. put him back in for me. at the very least I'm playing my best guy

It will be me my struggle the rest of the year having Michel Ridley and MVS . Most days Michel will get the nod. Coming off an injury with a bye next week his usage scares me.
MVS has either scored a TD or had 100 yards 4 straight weeks. Cobb still banged up just has me feeling another good game for MVS is coming today. Ridley is too much boom or bust for me right now.
Even if they did, it would only be the 4th Q. PITT was destroying Carolina and they played thru 3 Qs.

Starting him over Trequon Smith at flex WITH Adams in one of my other WR spots. Kind of like how that looks this week against opposition where they should points on the board
How are people feeling about MVS tomorrow night? I know he underperformed expectations a bit last week and some may be down on him. But he's still Rogers #2 and did get a lot of targets this week. Thinking about sitting him as i have some other decent options but that's making me a little nervous.

I need to start two of MVS, Lockett and Shepard and, though it’s close, I’m planning to bench MVS.
Strangely, it appears that if Cobb is out it may work against MVS. See ESPN analysis (and take with a grain of salt). I'd think they find a way to get MVS on the perimeter. Rotoworld's Silva also points this out:
ESPN
If Randall Cobb (hamstring) returns, downgrade him vs. Seattle slot corner Justin Coleman and upgrade Marquez Valdes-Scantling opposite Adams against Flowers and Griffin. If Cobb is out again, MVS will work inside against Coleman and should be downgraded, whereas Equanimeous St. Brown will be a sleeper opposite Adams. Seattle has allowed the fewest fantasy points to the slot over the past eight weeks.
ROTO/SILVA
With Cobb (hamstring) sidelined again, Valdes-Scantling will primarily play slot receiver after running 62% of his routes inside in last week’s win. St. Brown was Green Bay’s other perimeter wideout but ran only 19 routes behind Adams’ 32 and MVS’ 31. Valdes-Scantling warrants upside WR3 treatment averaging 6.8 targets for 72.2 yards with two TDs over his last five games. MVS offers more big-play potential outside, and a higher volume floor in the slot. He had six grabs against the Dolphins, but all came close to the line of scrimmage. …

That was last week.
And "stud" Jeffery was outscored by MVS.
Worst advice ever to never sit your studs. There are few "studs." Matchups rule the day.

Well that's stupid this guy is tyreek hill fast ..he's best at going deep ..well hurry up Cobb and come back

Sorry but Jeffrey is a wr2 I would never sit him vs a rook come on now unless the guy plays against Ramsey
Agree, and didn't. And wont.
That said, Jeffery is not a "stud."
Now...back to our regularly scheduled MVS programming.
Who's rolling him out tonight?
Have the same exact decision and going with MVS.
The analysis of MVS going into the slot because Cobb is out is all over the board. Had previously thought it was a bad thing but maybe not according to FantasyPros who write up a nice weekly primer:
Marquez Valdes-Scantling: With Randall Cobb out of the lineup last week, Valdes-Scantling moved back into his near full-time slot role, which is great for his projection as slot targets are worth more than perimeter targets. That’s precisely the case against the Seahawks, as they have former undrafted free agent Justin Coleman manning the slot. If there’s one area of the field where the Seahawks have struggled, it’s covering slot receivers, as Emmanuel Sanders tagged them for 10/135/1, Cooper Kupp for 6/90/1, and Keenan Allen for 6/124/0. Those account for three of the four top four performances allowed by the Seahawks this season. If you own Valdes-Scantling, you probably want to plug him in as a WR3 this week, as Cobb is out again.
