I like where you are going. Small changes. Week 1 isn't looking too bad. I would hold tight and wait for RB depth charts to become more clear. I expect you will continue to get lowball offers for Mahomes and your WR's. If/when you do, please post the offers here, along with the other teams roster. I always try to counter instead of downright declining.
He is suspended to begin the season - given your small roster size, I would pass on Tate
Also had my eye on Crowder. Miami had the most receptions and receiving yards out of the slot over the past three seasons. I expect him to have 80+ receptions in New York. Obviously RB is the 800 pound gorilla in the room, but assets are assets.
According to my math, with 12 teams and 17 roster spots each, that's 204 roster spots. And with the leftovers you are listing at RB, I have to assume around 75 are rostered. With Cousins on the WW, I will guess 18 QB's at most are rostered, along with probably 15 TE's, 14 D's and 12 K's. That would leave roughly 70 rosters spots for WR's. If you like Crowder better than Funchess, I would say drop Funchess and grab Crowder. I just don't see the need to carry more than 4 WR's, unless you think you can turn one into a RB via trade. Obviously you will have to do something before week 7, but that's a long ways away.
That team has Rodgers, so not sure there would be much interest. Also, everyone in this league is half my age and likely out on a Saturday night. They all are part of the party scene.
All the better that he may be missing the news - offer him Austin Hooper and Devin Funchess for Duke Johnson and the worst player on his team. Then dump that worst player, and grab Crowder like you wanted.
My point was that the owner more than likely won't even notice there was a trade offer until Monday at the soonest. I suppose there is a non zero chance that the owner is a blathering idiot. But the team already has Hunter and Eifert at TE. That's one of the teams that I considered as pretty stacked with depth pretty much everywhere. But I like where your head is at.
It was worth a shot. Cross fingers and hope Ajayi signs with the Texans now. Team is looking better every day!
I think the trade winds will only blow with the weaker teams, who coincidentally are the less informed owners. I might be able to concoct a trade now or in the future. If Johnson was on one of those teams, your approach probably would have worked.
I didn't see the Miller injury . . . was it of the gruesome variety and probably a season ender?
Maliek Collins fell on Miller's leg as he was cutting. It bent the wrong way, making for a gruesome scene. It certainly had the looks of a season-ender. Duke Johnson is now the only experienced back left in the Texans' backfield. Johnson played early downs in college but has never been given the chance in the pros. We doubt uncreative coach Bill O'Brien will be the one to give it to him. UDFA Damarea Crockett is relevant again, while the Texans will surely be taking a look at the free agent and trade markets.
Why, did something happen to Fournette that I missed? Or are you simply expecting that to happen? FWIW, the most recent news on Blue is he is dealing with his own sprained ankle.
Wow! That one isn't completely lopsided. Your first decent trade offer. Stew on it for a day, he won't rescind while you think.
Trubisky
Was hoping he would have a TE better than Ebron or Hooper, but not as good as Kittle. Was targeting a guy like Cook. Still thinking...
Post roster please - this guy has just become the most desperate owner in the league.
Too late to get Cousins. He must have got a notification and snagged Cousins. But since you asked . . .
Yeah. Drop someone to get cousins and then drop cousins just under two days before kickoff
I see about 8 tweets that say Ajayi has not signed with HOU. So I am guessing he is still available.
Yes, a handful of us watching the game heard Al Michaels say Ajayi signed, but he may have jumped the gun
I posted all the main available RBs on the wire earlier. I also explained that once the season starts, people won't be able to just grab free agents (there is a weekly waiver claim order and once you claim someone you go pack to pick #12). So your lottery ticket RBs would already have to be rostered if the starter got hurt to have a lot of value . . . and at that point it's just luck as to which backups will get a chance.
Justice Hill - No
I was so close - I guessed 75
But that's kind of the way this goes. You say Freeman will get dinged up. I say Bell will get dinged up. Or Michel will get dinged up. Someone else will say Chubb will get dinged up. IMO, it's very difficult if not impossible to guess when an injury will happen. I will add Hill to the watch list, but that's about all I can do. On our 17 man roster, we have one extra QB, one extra WR, and one extra TE. That's it. Every other bench spot is already a RB hoping to get more touches.
I appreciate the help. Cousins was the last legit QB out there, so now if anyone gets hurt there's no easy QB replacement points available. Wilson has far more value either as trade bait, Mahomes injury insurance, or bye week filler than grabbing another 3rd string running back. We just have to hope that Gordon comes back, and then we only need need to find a halfway decent RB2. Heck, I would be happy if we found a guy to put up RB3 numbers if Gordon came back. So maybe the Rams give Henderson 10-12 touches. Or the Jets give Robinson 5 carries and 4-5 receptions a week. Or whatever scenario people can concoct for any of the other guys that gets them more than 2 carries for 7 yards and 1 reception for 4 yards.
