5-2 PPR 12 team - start 2rb, 2wr, TE, and flex

Do I send

Watkins, Hopkins, Bradshaw for Julio, Sproles

or Jeffrey and Hopkins for Julio

QB- Luck

RB- Mccoy

RB - Mckinnon (backups Bradshaw, Asiata, Richardson, Bryce Brown)

WR- Jeffrey

WR - Watkins

TE - Gronk

Flex (Hopkins, Cooks, Patterson)
i do not think julio is a big upgrade over watkins

 
I have Matt Ryan and Andy Dalton as my QB they both have been playing like Crap

should i drop Dalton and get a WW QB Like

WW

Carson Palmer

Alex Smith

Eli Manning

Ryan Fitzpatrick

Jake Locker

Passing Yards 25 yards per point Passing Touchdowns 4 Interceptions -1 Rushing Yards 10 yards per point Rushing Touchdowns 6 Reception Yards 10 yards per point Reception Touchdowns 6 Return Touchdowns 6 2-Point Conversions 2 Fumbles Lost -2
both ryan and dalton have bad matchups this week. dump dalton for palmer

 
Jeff, I could use some help with this team. Currently 3-4, mainly due to being really inconsistent.

.5 PPR

1 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 Flex, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF

Current roster:

Nick Foles

Cam Newton

Jordy Nelson

Mike Wallace

Andre Holmes

Lesean McCoy

Giovani Bernard

Rashad Jennings

Branden Oliver

Jerrick McKinnon

Darren McFadden

Isaiah Crowell

Clay Harbor

Brandon McManus

Philadelphia

Cleveland

I had more WRs but I lost Cruz for the season and traded off Garcon early for Jennings. I am fairly loaded at RB right now so maybe a trade might be best, possibly Bernard since Cincinatti seems to be looking weaker? I received an offer for Emmanuel Sanders for Benard. I am thinking of taking the offer and then picking up Hill off waivers since Bernard could be injury prone. What do you think of this?

The WR free agent pool is pretty slim pickings in this league. Notables are: K. Wright, A. Hawkins, K. Stills, G. Jennings, R. Cooper, A. Hurns, B. LaFell, J. Matthews, J. Landry

I am planning on dropping Cam Newton/Cleveland this week since I only used them for Phillys bye. Harbor seems to be doing okay I was thinking of going after Clay but I don't know if it'll be much of an upgrade.

Also, who do I start this week at RB?

Thanks for your time!
Do the Sanders deal, then pick up Hill. Great deal for you. Harbor is fine. Keep in mind that Marcedes Lewis will be back around week 12, limiting Harbor's upside. Love McCoy, Oliver, and McKinnon this week. Start all three.

Have another one Jeff.

Same league, owner wants to trade for Nick Foles and a 2015 5th rd pick for Nick Foles and a 2015 10th rd pick. I like it, what do you think?

 
Jeff,

PPR

The guy who has VJax also has Murray?

Would you make an offer for Vjax offering Randle(you see my roster) or who?

He has Newton and Rothesberger at qb. I don't see him letting Newton go.

Thanks,

Rob

Jeff,....ppr

So definetly play Ingram over Mckinnon?

Nice having these options......Guess close....fbg got Mckinnon just a few points higher....few other have Mckinnon even higher this week

Thanks

 
Jeff,

Can't make up my mind on my last flex for this week...several good options. Standard scoring, no ppr.

Bradshaw @ Pitts (Richardson is dinged)

Hilton @ Pitts (so is Wayne)

Alshon @ NE (Cutler should be flinging it, especially after how bad Da Bears looked last week).

Every time I sit Bradshaw or Hilton they light it up, but I only have the one spot. Who would you start this week? Thanks for help...

Adams vs Stills is close for me and would depend on whether Graham plays for NO. Think this game is HIGH scoring. Worried about Colt McCoy impact on Reed

 
I need 1 WR starter in 10 team .5 ppr league. Julius let me down Thursday so it's shaping up to be a tight matchup.

My healthy, non bye WR's:

Sanu v BAL

Decker v BUF

Or drop Sanu for:

Shorts v MIA

Landry @ JAX

LaFell v CHI

Adams @ NO

 
Hi Jeff, already down to team with Sanders (I had Oliver and Hillman go already and he out scored both). Have to play two of these four and one must be a TE and I can use both TEs if needed (standard scoring with 5 point 100 yard receiving bonus) :

Graham

Ertz

Andre Holmes

Decker

Right now I have Graham and Ertz in. Advice? Thanks!

Hey Jeff, hope all is well.

I just thought I would brainstorm with you here for a second, and you have answered this kind of thing before.

Redraft, $$ league . - Question: who do you view as a good trade target right now. This would be a player who could be had for a mid-range price, not a McCoy, Lynch or Lacy owner looking to recoup whatever they think they have invested.

I have made a goofy RB trade or two and now for tradeable RB's I am sitting on Tate, McKinnon, Bryce Brown and Tre Mason and would like to fling some combination of them at another owner needing a starter and maybe depth at flex in the middle of a big bye week.

Any suggestions on a good RB with upside in the second half whom you think I should be shooting for?

Thanks.

sorry I did not get to this in time. Graham was the play, and Holmes close behind ... I am avoiding NYJ WRs for a while until QB situation plays out

There are not too many options with Forte, Murray, Foster, McCoy, Charles, and maybe Ingram off people's trade list. I would target Lacy, Ellington, or possibly see if Ingram was available. Try a 2-for-1, even if overpaying, then pick up Sims off waivers

I would pass since you are trading two startable players for one. I might feel differently if Gio was not banged up, too

 
i have WR M floyd (AZ)

these WR available

Fitzgerald,Baldwin,Floyd (SD),Hawkins,Hopkins

should i do anything like drop him and pick anther WR? he is the only WR starting this coming week

my other two (TATE,COBB) are on a bye week

i am thinking Baldwin for Floyd (AZ)

what you think

thanks again

Thank you for the help Jeff. I thought longer about it and decided to pass as well. The same owner just came back with another offer with a swap of Emmanuel Sanders for Gio. I am also facing this owner this weekend in a pretty big matchup. Would you trade Sanders for Bernard?

 
Jeff, PPR

Pick 3 for WR

M. Wallace, E. Sanders, M. Floyd(SD), A. Holmes

Pick 3 for RB/Flex

L. McCoy, B. Oliver, J.McKinnon, J. Hill, I. Crowell, D. McFadden

 
Hi Jeff-

I'm in 3rd place of 14 teams in a PPR keeper league but I fear that my RB situation is going to catch up to me. Need your help.

QB - Rivers

RB - L Bell, Ball, Mason, Sankey, Hyde, Sims, B Brown

WR - Wallace, Benjamin, Sanu

TE - Graham, Reed

We start QB-2RB-2WR-TE-RB/WR/TE.

I've been rolling with 3 of the 5 WR/TE I have when healthy at my flex. Bell has been carrying my RB corp but there isn't anything else reliable there. Is it time to cut bait on Sankey as a potential keeper? I'd like to hang on to Sims and Hyde but right now neither does me any good. Brown will be droppable in a few weeks I imagine and the jury is still out on Mason. I've hung on to Ball after being outbid on Hillman, hoping he'd get the job back but it doesn't look like it.

Right now I'm offering an package of Sanu/Wallace/Reed plus either Mason/Sankey for an RB2.

I'm targeting Bradshaw, Hillman, Ingram, McKinnon, Tate. Am I shooting too high or too low? Is Reggie Bush worth a stash, I can get him for cheap probably ( a la Mason/Sankey only) and keep the WR's and TE's. Or is someone like Lynch too much to ask for? Jonas Grey is on waivers but I hate having a NE RB.

I plan on jumping on Michael and Freeman for Brown and/or Mason in a few weeks if they don't pan out to load up on potential keepers.

What would you do/deal?

Loaded question I know, any advice you can throw my way would be awesome.

Thanks!

Kevin

Hi Jeff,

My team is looking good in 2nd place but was wondering if I should make a move. Should I trade my LeSean McCoy for Calvin Johnson? Here is my roster. I'd be left with Ingram/Mckinnon as my RB2 rather than having McCoyRB2/Hopkins(others)WR3.

10 team yahoo standard scoring

QB Andrew Luck

RB DeMarco Murray

RB LeSean McCoy

WR Julio Jones

WR Alshon Jeffrey

WR DeAndre Hopkins

TE Rob Gronkowski

BN Mark Ingram

BN Jerrick Mckinnon

BN Tre Mason

BN Joseph Randle

BN Michael Crabtree

BN Mike Evans

Thanks!!

 
Me again, been getting a flurry of trade offers over the past few days :-)

I had an offer from an owner for Hillman, Andre Johnson, Alshon Jeffrey, and a 4th rounder for Vincent Jackson, Randall Cobb, Shane Vereen, and my 12th (17 rounds total in our draft).

I turned that down because I still believe I have a shot at the playoffs (we play by division and I am just one game back off the lead). He's still like to try and make some sort of deal with the pieces involved. Since it is a three keepers league I was thinking of offering the following

A. Jeffrey for R. Cobb, straight up.

Do you think from that stand point this would be a fair trade for both parties? To be honest I think I am getting the better half of the deal. Thanks as always!

 
Hi Jeff, trade question--

8 team (mid-season) redraft 1PPR standard TDs. Free agents fairly deep (but no studs). Playoffs weeks 15-16. Record 0-1

Starting lineup requires:

1 RB

1 WR

2 RB/WR flex

My roster:

QBs A. Luck, M. Ryan

RBs R. Hillman, C. Ivory

WRs D. Bryant, A. Jeffery, AJ Green, J. Gordon, R. Randle, M. Sanu

TEs J. Reed, D. Walker

Trade offered: I get Andre Ellington RB and Carlos Hyde RB and I give AJ Green WR and R. Hillman RB

I'm scared of Green's toe injury, I'm stocked at WR and can go 1 RB / 3 WR. I cannot start 4 WRs if Gordon comes back strong. I also can't pull any trade to upgrade TE.

Do I pull the trigger to upgrade my RB1 (Hillman)? Thanks
