Pollard is a definite pickup until Zeke returns. Pollard might be a worthwhile hold even after Zeke returns.

Hilliard is also probably the best bet on that list to get 10 fantasy points per game even with a healthy Chubb. Chubb isn't a good receiver or good at pass protection. Hilliard getting 30%-40% of snaps with 3-5 receptions per game is realistic.

I think Anarchy needs to do updates on his team throughout the season. We can vicariously experience his triumph over evil.

He got dinged yesterday in a joint practice with the Colts. I think it was a leg injury. Not sure how serious.

My choices to keep an eye on are:
Dontrell Hilliard CLE (possible pick up now if you just need something/anything on a weekly basis)
Darren Sproles PHI (speed dial only for now, but in .5 ppr, can the ancient one surprise and give you 8-12/week?)
Dexter Williams GB (for now, speed dial only should there be an iinjury)
Benny Snell PIT (for now, speed dial only should there be an iinjury)
Darrel Williams KC (speed dial only should there be an iinjury and even then only if there is evidence that he has gained on Hyde)
Rex Burkhead NE (speed dial only should there be an iinjury)
Jordan Wilkins IND (speed dial only should there be an iinjury and assuming he recovers from his own foot injury and stays in front of Foreman)

Keep an eye on Ollison too. Rookie who just needs the opportunity.

He won't have to sell it next year - that will be the job of the commish. He can simply walk away.

If he just walks away I'll be disappointed.. drag your feet, say you will pay the day of, then ghost them.
Don't call, don't text or email... just don't draft and then refuse to pay.

Absolutely not...though I'm extremely bullish on Evans this year. Just not a fan of 2-1 deals in which I'm giving away the best guy in the deal. I think you can do better than Drake just be patient.

Nope. The Luck owner doesn't have another QB on his roster. He also has Elliott to worry about. But Cousins is sitting on the waiver wire.
Here's the QB situation for each team . . .
- Rodgers
- Luck
- Mayfield
- Watson, Murray
- Winston, Wentz, Prescott
- Roethlisberger
- Brees, Jackson
- Trubisky
- Brady, Newton
- Ryan, Rivers
- Goff
We've asked around. Most teams like what they have at QB. Not a lot of trade discussions going on, and anyone that talks to us knows we are pretty desperate. No one has any interest in Wilson. There's been some interest in Mahomes, but mostly low ball offers. I thought about claiming Cousins, but it would only be to block someone else from picking him up. Worst case for people with QB issues is they just claim an NFL starter off of waivers (there's 13 of them as free agents). Teams know we can't pick up anyone off of waivers at the moment to play at RB, so they expect us to take 40 or 50 cents on the dollar for our top tier players.

Have you considered making Zeke your problem to worry about? Perhaps Mahomes and Evans for Zeke?
Anarchy99
Footballguy
Our team actually had Zeke last year . . . my son traded Zeke, Robby Anderson, and Gronk for Hopkins, Evans, and Diggs. I doubt the team would make the deal you suggest as it would end up being a lot weaker at RB and already has a lot of decent receivers. And the guy loves Luck (as in more than Mahomes). Could always mention it as an option . . .

That would be gross and a severe over reaction. It’s way too early for that kind of panic move. (Not that a panic move is very often the right move...)
Anarchy99
Footballguy
In case it wasn't clear, at this point there is a 0% chance of getting any money back. That request has been shot down multiple times. I suppose there might be a non zero chance if our team got obliterated and went 0-14 and then people suddenly realized just how unfair things were. But I wouldn't put a lot of stock in that happening.
JamieMurphy
Footballguy
I think the likes of Ty Mont is going to get you enough points that there's no need to panic. They're not going to run Gurley into the ground, trot Brown out there and see how they use him. The points that your WRs get you should make up the difference. How much would it piss them off if you beat them with two backup RBs?

*******Sorry about the weird paste job but I would absolutely roster the bolded. Hilliard would be my top choice. Blue is being overlooked. I really think you guys have an elite starting lineup that should be favored before bye weeks. You need an RB3(and 4) but it will come. Don't sell your studs cheap because you think you must have another starter *right now*. These guys in this league are gonna be deuches when it comes to lowballing you. Keep looking for deals but hold your ground. Good luck.

Is this still your full team going into week 1?
QB - Patrick Mahomes vs JAX
QB - Russell Wilson vs CIN
RB - Melvin Gordon vs IND
RB - Darrell Henderson vs CAR
RB - Malcolm Brown vs CAR
RB - Cameron Artis-Payne vs LAR
RB - Jay Ajayi vs ??
RB - Ty Montgomery vs BUF

WR - Mike Evans vs SF
WR - Devin Funchess vs LAC
TE - Eric Ebron vs LAC
TE - Austin Hooper vs MIN
PK - Greg Zuerlein vs CAR
DEF - Chicago Bears vs GB
DEF - Minnesota Vikings vs ATL
And the starting requirements are 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 flex (RB/WR/TE), 1 K, and 1 D?

I told my son to drop the Vikings D for Dontrell Hilliard. But he dropped Montgomery instead. I doubt anyone will claim Montgomery, so we can probably pick him up again once he clears waivers. So swap out Hilliard vs TEN for Montgomery. But the rest is accurate.
TheWinz
Footballguy
2 questions
- how soon will Montgomery clear waivers?
- can you post the entire roster for the Kelce owner?
Doug B

Unless I've missed some late injury news, Gus Edwards is worth a shot as well, though it appears you favor K. Dixon in that backfield.
Point being -- Mark Ingram is one to get nicked up, and he's not some kind of freak of a bellcow that won't give up touches to other backs even when healthy.
Anarchy99
Footballguy
At some point tomorrow (I believe it's 48 hours from the time he was dropped).
Drew Brees, Lamar Jackson
Christian McCaffery, DeVonta Freeman, Philip Lindsay, Tevin Coleman, CJ Anderson, Justin Jackson, Frank Gore
Stefon Diggs, Sterling Shephard, James Washington, N'Keal Harry, Mohamed Sanu
Travis Kelce
Stephen Gostkowski
Philadelphia Eagles

Mattison is rostered. Washington is not.
That's part of the challenge . . . a lot of players might get a bump if someone got hurt, but you can't roster every third stringer from every team.
Dr. Octopus

There's a lot of talk that Bell will be eased into the offense to start the season and Gase absolutely loves Montgomery. Montgomery will not win you the week but could get 8-10 points in .5 ppr.

Great news that you can pick Ty Montgomery up again that quickly. You never know what kind of shape Leveon will be in to start the season, both physically and mentally.
The reason I wanted to see the Kelce roster was a possible trade. He is very weak at WR, especially after Diggs. I would start by offering Mike Evans and his choice of TE for Travis Kelce and whatever RB you think you can get from him. Hopefully, he doesn't just decline and ignore. The goal is to get him looking at his crappy WR corps and starting a dialogue with you. If/when he turns that down, bump it up to Evans and both TE's for Kelce and the best RB he is willing to part with. If/when he turns that down, move up to OBJ and choice of TE's for Kelce & best RB you can. If/when he turns that down, OBJ & both TE's for Kelce & best RB you can. Trading either OBJ or Evans removes their week 7 bye conflict. Hell, you could even do a QB swap as part of the deal, if he likes Wilson better than Brees or Jackson. Your ultimate goal here is to become so studly at each position, you only need to roster 1 each at QB, TE, K, and D, allowing you to stockpile hopeful RB's. If you can have the Mahomes/Kelce combo, you wouldn't have to worry about rostering a backup for them until week 12. Ironically, OBJ & Kelce are currently ranked right next to each other on the consensus ADP. As for Russell Wilson, even though you don't need him, I wouldn't simply drop him for a hopeful RB. I would continue holding while looking to add him as sweetener in a trade.
Doug B
Footballguy
You're right. Well, at least the name's on your radar.
EDIT: I should have added, though, that Washington is second string. In essence, he's backing up two players.

The other issue will be that once the regular season starts, the league uses a waiver claim process. Every time you claim a player in the waiver claim process, your team then goes to the end of the waiver claim queue. So if a name RB got hurt in a game, the team with the #1 waiver claim gets first chance to pick him up. Bottom line, the odds aren't great on being able to swoop in and snag someone due to an injury. There is a FCFS waiver period to pick up anyone you want later in the week, but hot commodities will never make it that far.

I don't mind if it gets added in here. I wasn't really planning on getting ongoing opinions on our team . . . people just sort of dove in. Have him/her post the roster and concerns / questions here.
Anarchy99
Footballguy
Yes. Current roster:
Mahomes, Wilson
Gordon, Henderson, Brown, Montgomery, Hilliard, Artis-Payne, Ajayi
Hopkins, Evans, OBJ, Funchess
Ebron, Hooper
Zeurlein
Bears
Other options on waiver wire at RB: Blue, Edwards, Crockett. Other fee agents at other positions: Cousins, Tate, Crowder, Hamilton, Chark.

I'd stay put with this and see how the season starts. Don't you guys make panic moves, let the other guys panic, especially if you start 2-2 or 3-1. This team could very easily get you into the playoffs. If Gordon comes back halfway through the season (not sure he has any incentive to do so) you're golden.

This looks like a team that gets to the playoffs and dominates with 2019 version of CJA and Damien Williams.
