Thanks again Jeff.
Here are a couple more moves that I’m thinking about and hope to get your perspective.
1. Williams or Evans over Massaquoi? (Yahoo league, NO PPR, 4 pts for passing TDs, 6 for all others, 1 pt for 10 yards receiving or rushing.) I like Massaquoi best of Evans and Roy (who is not playing this week). if for this week. If just for WR depth, I would go with Roy. I am not a Roy fan at all, but he has decent upside in a spot start basis. You might wait a week to see if Massaquoi is legit. He will need to prove he can beat double coverage. Last week, he saw single coverage while Braylon was doubled.
Roy Williams with injured ribs, and Lee Evans, are available, as are Jenkins, Muhammad, and Avery.
I have Roddy White, Berrian, and Braylon, and hope he pans out in NY. I also picked up Massaquoi when that trade was announced. But with Williams and Evans available, as well as the others, I’m thinking I may need to swap out Massaquoi for a potential long term upgrade.
What do you think?
*Wait a week on Massaquoi and see how he looks as the WR1 in Cleveland?
*Snap up either the underperforming and injured Williams on a potentially good Dallas team, or maybe the streaky Evans on a suddenly poor Buffalo team?
*Or have I missed the boat on one of the other WRs.
2. Carney or Tynes? And when?
Kickers are kickers, and by the nature not too reliable for fantasy points. I do like my Tynes though, with the Giants seeming to consistently score a lot. Carney was dropped either because of his bye week 5, or because we don't know who the kicker will be, Hartley or Carney. It sure is tempting to own the kicker on that high powered NO offense, and also to have one more bye behind me, but if we don't know who is kicking, I guess you can't go that route. Because of Carney’s wk 5 bye, I have three choices:
- forget it and keep Tynes.
- wait until after the games this week and try to pick him up for Tynes as a FA after waivers clear (I probably wouldn’t use a WW pick on a PK)
- if he's the real deal in NO, maybe scoop him up now at the expense of one of my million Defenses. SF was so good last week as a bye week filler that I’m suddenly reluctant to cut them loose. It probably was more the Rams and less the 49ers last week, but I’m tempted to wait a week to see if SF is for real against the Falcons on Sunday.
Use Tynes this week. I would keep him unless he misses more kicks. Tynes is leading most leagues at kicker position. The only issue is the misses. Carney might lose the job to Hartley coming off suspension. Historically, the NYG kicker is a top 5 play. They get their kicker plenty of opportunities.
*Do you like Carney over Tynes, or too much uncertainty?
*If you like Carney, do you like waiting and trying to pick him up as a FA after the weekend?
*If you like Carney, should I just get it over with and swap SF for him?
12-team NON-PPR redraft league. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 WR/RB Flex, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF. 16 player roster.
Passing TDs = 4 pts, all others 6 pts. 1 pt for 10 yards rushing and receiving.
My Team:
QB: Garrard, Hasselbeck
RB: AP, Ronnie Brown, Addai, Lynch, Chester Taylor
WR: Roddy White, Braylon Edwards, Berrian, Massaquoi
TE: Vernon Davis
DEF: Phil, GB, SF
K: Tynes
Thanks again.
ierre Thomas, M. Bell, M. Morris, Lamont Jordan and Reggie Wayne for my Turner/Norwood, Avery, Moore, T. Edwards, J. Harrison + 2010 #1&2 rookie picks.I was going to hit reject immediately, but I need to find out if my point of view is so skewed that I just can’t recognize a good deal when I see one or if I’m correct in thinking this is way too much to give up for basically Reggie Wayne.I appreciate your advice.
