Bye Week Blues (1 Viewer)

[duaneok66]

I am a playing a guy in our dynasty leaguewho has these WRs on bye:

Calvin Johnson

Mark Clayton

Eddie Royal

Torry Holt

THese are the top WRs available on waivers

Sammie Stroughter

Mark Bradley

Louis Murphy

Josh Cribbs

A Randle-El

Besides Sidney Rice, he's forced to start

Chansi Stuckey (hasn't caught a pass yet as a Cleveland Browns player)

he has an empty slot in the 3rd hole . . .

Has anybody else else been in a similar situation??

PS - He still has Rodgers, Benson, Grant, and Antonio Gates so I will probably find a way to lose - that's just how awesome my team is . . .

Simply horrifying

 

[The Houston Stallions]

Yep, in one league, I'm without

Calvin Johnson

Brandon Marshall

Eddie Royal

Mike Walker

Plus two RBs

MJD

Moreno

I have SJax and Grant to start at RB but had two empty spots at WR. Dropped Royal for Collie. Still debating making another move. Stupid league roster limits won't let me drop a backup Def, K, or TE to pick up another WR.

My league is PPR and starts 2 QBs. I'm without Flacco, Chris Johnson, Moreno, Megatron and Sims-Walker. The pickings are real slim on the Waiver Wire this week with so many teams on a bye.

I'm in first place in my league but I'm sweating tomorrow. This looks like it will be the worst bye week of the season with so many key players out. Next week also has six teams on a bye but other than the Pats and Steelers, there don't look like there will be a lot of high-point players sitting. This week is a killer:

Flacco

Rice

Mason

Marshall

Moreno

Megatron

Kevin Smith

Chris Johnson

Houshmandzadeh

Burleson

MJD

Sims-Walker

There are a lot of top point scorers in that group who all have to be replaced this week.

In a start 2 QB league, I get to choose between Vick and Leinart to pair with Brady. I'll likely take the zero.

 

[T Bag]

All three of my WR's are on a bye in one of my redrafts. I was forced to pick up Earl Bennett and Massaquoi. I'm without:

Calvin

Housh

Sims-Walker

Plus two RB's:

MJD

Ray Rice

Ouch, talk about having some firepower on the bench. Could be a rough week.

Ouch. I'm rolling with Derek Anderson (paired with Cutler) and picked him over Delhomme, Fitzpatrick, Russell and Johnson.I think we both need to say some prayers for each other tomorrow.

 

[sparkky]

ya, the bye is going to change some things this week. a team of:

Flacco

Rice

MJD

Marshall

Megatron

Sims-Walker

Heap

Prater

Den

would win a lot of games in most leagues I'm in!!

I would be interesting to see what percentage of teams have empty slots this week . . .

 

[UTLonghorn31]

I have MJD, Rice, Moreno, and Calvin all on byes this week

The replacements:

LJ, Maroney, Bell, and Nicks

If I hadn't picked up Maroney then I would be going with Caddy... I am still favored to win so things are on a good note this week (unless Maroney and LJ figure out a way to mess it up)

Due to injuries/byes, in one of my dynasty leagues, I am forced to start:

RB - Xavier Oman, Brandon Jackson

WR - S Smith (NYG), A Caldwell, L Naanee, J Urban

This is going to be an ugly week. S Smith is the only legit guy there.

 

[SCT]

I have Chris Johnson, Kevin Smith, and Moreno on bye at RB

Royal on bye at WR (no big loss)

So.....my rb/wr/flex starters are Donald Brown, Justin Fargas (just picked up off waiver), Avery, Nicks, MoMass. Could put SMoss in for one of those.....

Hey guys. Am curious to get some opinions on a possible Dynasty trade. My team specs are in my signature, but I'm fairly sure I'll make the playoffs this year and think I have a good shot to win. My concern is both keeping my team strong for this year and for the next 2-3 years. The possible deal would have me sending C Cooley (in the last year of his deal with my team) and my 1st round rookie pick (should be in the 9-12 range) for B Wells (5 years on his deal) and D Keller (3 years on his deal).Keller has had a down year, but I still love his talent. I'm thinking that in the next couple of years, he should step up to the level Cooley is at now. In the interm, H Miller would be a decent TE1 start. Wells hasn't looked great so far, but I'm still pretty high on his talent. thoughts?

Here's what I'd do:Take it to the ACF.

This is the worst I've seen.
