When did Derek Carr says this? I wonder, because Zay joined the team early in the 2019 season and has seen the field in each of the last 33 games for the Raiders, with only 54 targets. Derek has been the QB the entire time. Did Zay just recently become a hard worker?

Yep it's like the dedicated worker that is first to arrive and last to leave the office, never has a sick day...but also never gets a promotion for all the effort. Promote Zay Jones!

You mean the game where Carr threw 56 times, and Zay was only targeted twice? You know who else was the hardest worker on his team? RUDY, and look where it got him.

Now, you are just playing w/ my emotions and this is borderline cruel.... but please do go on.
Seriously is there any articles or is it just pure speculation/teams out of the bye sometimes switch things up?!
Fine, I'll pick him up...

I am not saying to avoid Jones but opposite Edwards hasn't exactly been a high volume position either.
Between Ruggs & Jones we're talking about redistributing 6 targets/game. If you think Jones will get those targets, or even the majority of them and that those targets will have fantasy value them go get him.
Personally I think it is just as likely that Jones gets, maybe a two target/game bump and the other four end up going to Waller, Drake, Jacobs & Edwards.
Or the offense simply regresses a little bit and loses that volume by failing to sustain as many drives.

amounts seems reasonable. Not like 50 percent for AP and 25 for mcnichols that some recommend.

Aaron Rodgers out this week (COVID)...KC Defense might be worth a streaming DST add this week
Leroy Hoard

Gore on KC. Anything to see here?

Hey, it's great to be known as a hard working WR, loved by your QB and OC, but these same guys have been there since Zay came to town in 2019. He hasn't seen more than 2 targets in a game for 19 straight games. I'm high on my wife, but I still ain't throwing her the ball.
It's great to see Zay touted by you in this thread, and I would enjoy eating crow if he gets 7 or more targets this week (picked 7 because it's the most he's gotten since joining the team).

I'm actually commending you for putting Zay's name out there. It's easier to bash than to stick your neck out and nominate a guy who may rise.

I said just Zay no because I thought it was clever. He could be a thing, but I don't see me ever starting someone like him.

Might need to drop 1 to activate CMC off IR. Start 2 RB, 3 WR/TE, 1 Flex. Full PPR
RB - Khalil Herbert, at Steelers, Bye Week 10 (starting for now)
RB - Damien Harris, at Panthers, Bye Week 14 (starting for now)
RB - A.J. Dillon, at Chiefs, Bye Week 13
RB - Alex Collins, Bye Week 9
WR/TE - Justin Jefferson, at Ravens, Bye week past
WR/TE - Kyle Pitts, at Saints, Bye week past
WR/TE - Jaylen Waddle, vs Texans, Bye week 14
WR/TE - Jerry Jeudy, at Cowboys, Bye week 11
WR/TE - Kadarius Toney, vs Raiders, Bye week 10
WR/TE - Tyler Lockett, Bye Week 9
IR
RB - Christian McCaffery, Bye week 13
RB - Kareem Hunt, Bye week 13
RB - Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Bye week 12
Another option is to leave CMC in the IR spot this week and not activate him until next week. I'm really leary that he will aggravate the hammy again this week if he plays. I'm strongly hoping they do not activate him this week.

My first thought IF CMC was activated to play I would drop A Collins. SEA RB's too murky for me. Or it's a choice of Jeudy or Toney, who both offer a lot of upside. If I was confident CMC plays I would want to play him. Herbert if Monty plays and Herbert if Monty sits cuz he'll play after his bye and Herbert may continue with a small role. Word says Monty gets majority of carries again.
Herbert is my choice to drop. Collins if Carson and Penny take more shares.

Collins, Jeudy or Dillon if you activate him.
But I agree with waiting a week.
I have Prater as my kicker. I am concerned about the health of the Cardinals offensively. Nick Folk is available. Should I replace Prater with Folk?
Maybe this is a good game script for Prater since they may be more likely to settle fr FG’s.
I’m curious what you would do. I realize kickers can be random.

I would replace Prater with Folk. Your gamescript point makes sense. But Folk been killing it.
It’s not like Prater has been killing it either. I don’t like tinkering when it comes to kickers but picking up Folk makes sense to me.
Folk has attempted a league best 21 FG's and made a league best 20. He should not be on waivers in a 2 person league!

Both Avonte Maddox and Darius Slay went out with injuries today for the Eagles secondary and didn't return. Herbert lit them up for over 300 yds and 3 Total TDs. Might be something to watch for next week if you are streaming QBs and Teddy Bridgewater is available.

Carr and the raiders are an enigma to me: Its basically just the Waller / renfrow show. Zay Jones, Edwards, even Ruggs and now Desean are all guys that seem perfectly reasonable and talented, but Carr doesn't look for them. Jacobs and Drake seem to be the third read when those two aren't open.
Ruggs was supposed to be "the guy" and I think he was getting 4 targets per game. Edwards has all the talent in the world but he's just out there like the fat kid in right field running around not doing anything. Zay was "next up" and Carr says all these great things but NADA. Now Desean Jackson is the solution? The only reason I may take a flier on Desean is bc I'm dropping edwards and maybe Carr only has a hard n for Veteran players?

Breakout game for Aiyuk? Or was it just a case where Samuel was banged up and given some relief? Not sure I can add him as I don't trust Shanny but wondering about it anyway.
Aiyuk's number were trending up the last few weeks. I would say add.
But no idea if Lance helps or hurts.

With Russell finally coming back, that frees up a roster spot, but I honestly have no idea who to use it on. Maybe pick up Tenn as a second D, but I'm not using a waiver priority on them.
In terms of skill position players, best players available are all WRs, which I don't really need. Best out there are AJ Green, RMoore and VJefferson.
RBs available are Latavius, Jamaal Williams, Gainwell and Bolden. I suppose the latter may be worth it in PPR, but I hate rostering low-ceiling veteran RBs.
