I think you gotta just stay the course and compete. I think the team should be in the thick of the playoff race. Need some luck to beat the big boys but there's room for that to happen.

How many guaranteed points do you have from the Bears right now? TD = 6, 3 TO = 6, and 3? sacks = 3 for a total of 15? Do you get bonus points for yardage and the score of the opponent? Either way the Bears have a chance for much more in the 2nd half given the score and the ineptitude of the WAS offense.

Sliding scale for points and yards. Allowing a FG cost 2 points. Giving up 100 yards will cost 2 points. Yes, 15 points in the books so far.
Steeler

So minus 2 for the 24 yards and plus 1 for the sack on the last play of the game - so you won by 0.62 ???

I'd put in a claim for Darrel Williams as well. The odds are small but he's a guy with league-winner upside. Exactly the type you need to stock up on.
I wouldn't even argue with prioritizing Williams ahead of Gallman. Gallman has a low ceiling IMO. I expect a lot more of what we saw in 2+ quarters on Sunday (5 carries for 13 yards, no catches on 1 target). The falloff from Barkley to Gallman will be precipitous.

Just names I like. Would be cool to pair Robinson with Mahomes. When Hill comes back maybe he has some value over Hardman. IDK. OBJ has a bye week 7.Anarchy99 said:
You said you don't like Ebron and I do, but even I would rather have Herndon. Mono boy is going to come back soon.
I *thought* I saw something about Ito Smith being hurt. Brian Hill is just a "monitor and see" name. Darrell would be my first choice by far. You probably won't get Gallman and not even sure he is worth it. I'd probably move on from Hilliard and Montgomery.

I'm hearing on the MG thread that Gordon reports Thursday. Great for you, bad for us Ekeler owners

Anderson was never a free agent. He was drafted and never dropped. We ended up getting Darrel Williams.

I'll believe the Gordon news when he actually appears in a game.
TheWinz

Darrel was a good pick up. Anderson didn't seem to latch on anywhere yet. I know I have to root for Gordon for you, but I own Ekeler without MG. So, who ya thinking about starting at RB?

And since I am on a roll, why are many (most) fantasy leagues still requiring two starting RB's? Most NFL teams have 3 WR and 1 RB on the field the majority of the time. IMO, instead of requiring 2 RB, 2 WR, and a flex, fantasy leagues should be 1 RB / 1 WR / 3 Flex. In a league like this one, that would have made life so much easier (and fairer).

3 weeks x 2 RB = something like only 33 points scored. In a 0.5 PPR league, I would gladly have played two extra TE over two crappy RB. But there are a ton of free agent WR on the wire. Those would score way better than the TEs.

My son is contemplating trying to facilitate a trade. Here is our team roster again . . .
Mahomes, Wilson
Peterson, Cohen, MBrown, Hilliard, MGordon, Darrel Williams, TMostert (bye)
Hopkins, OBJ, Fitzgerald, Crowder (bye)
Hooper, Ebron

Here is the other team's roster . . .
Jones, Brissett
Elliott, Ingram, Conner, Edwards, Mattison, Murray, Pollard
Allen, Thielen, MJones, Westbrook, Tate
Harris
Fairbairn
Ravens, Packers
My son really likes Ingram and was thinking of offering Wilson and Ebron for Ingram and ??? Is it worth considering making an offer and who would the appropriate ??? player be? My initial concern is that team would end up filling its only two weaknesses. We would be getting back a legit RB, but is that worth parting ways with Wilson (who we usually would never play).?

If I'm the Ingram owner I'm holding out for this week to get another look at Jones. Wilson doesn't pass enough save for last week's monstrous week.
Anarchy99
Footballguy
I wouldn't do it from their side either, but Wilson has been a Top 5 QB in 3 of the past 5 years and is currently ranked QB 4 (and only 4 points from being the QB 1). The point being, no matter how he scores he has been one of the best fantasy QB's (was top 10 the other 2 seasons).

Footballguy
I'm talking solely this year and excluding last week, which might be silly. I guess I got scared off by his volume the first week amidst all the Carroll announcements. He threw 35 times Wk 2 and 50 Wk 3. He is QB4 right now.
Anarchy99
Footballguy
In any event, if you were us and wanted to target the potential offer I mentioned (Wilson and Ebron for Ingram and ??? Who would you suggest we add as a second player coming back (if anyone)?
rockaction
Footballguy
I'm still honestly skeptical he's going to want to give something in addition to even Ingram, so I'm a bit stuck. I guess a fair offer would include either a backup RB like Mattison or Murray, or a back end WR like Westbrook or Tate. I'm guessing he drafted Tate and held him, so he's going to be a little reluctant to part with him in light of Jones's outing on Sun.
Not that this is how I would think or how one should think. It's trying to suss out how people will think.
This might be fairest if done two-for-one, if that's at all appealing to him. (And all things constant, it could be.)
Anarchy99

Tate was a free agent pick up that sat on the waiver wire for weeks. Since there are a fixed set of roster spots, any 2 for 1 deal means that another player would have to be cut anyway. So a 2 for 1 swap turns into a 2 for 2 deal in that a player will have to be trimmed from the roster to make room. Probably the best way to make an offer would be Wilson and Ebron for Ingram and anyone else on their roster (ie, whomever they would have to drop). I agree that I wouldn't consider the trade from their side, but my son really wants Ingram and has rostered him many other times.
rockaction
Footballguy
Gotcha. Yeah, I figured he'd have a full bench and would need to drop one. In that case, you could take from him the player he wants least and then you could drop him.
Funny how a player can get a start in the league and have a totally different effect on fantasy players. To me, even though he's played 16, 16, 12 games the past three years, losing four to suspension, Ingram will always strike me as the guy he was at the beginning of his career, which was that he seemed a tad slow and injury-prone, for however much you accept injuries as anything but luck.
