Fantasy football 2016

I've had Decker, Watkins, and Martin all out for me this week. Martin the last two, Watkins rest of the season. I was on my way to a win, until Big Ben and Brown went off. I still have Rudolph tonight but I doubt he'll get me 23 points.

My other team is doing okay. Some injuries as well, but I scooped up Prescott, Graham, Miller, and Minny D off waivers the last few weeks. Luckily in the first league the last two teams to make the playoffs are based off of points.

 

I lost Decker and Watkins, too, but I think I'll be able to pull out a win this week. In addition, my top two draft picks (Bell and Gronk) hadn't scored a single point the first three weeks (obviously, I knew that about Bell - Gronk has been a disappointment). My first four draft picks haven't contributed much through four games (Bell is the only who has done anything for me), but I'm hopefully going to move to 2-2 tonight. If I can somehow trade for even a mid-level player at WR, it will be an improvement. Right now I'm running with Hurns, Crowder, V-Jax, Coates and Amendola.

Unfortunately, my best trade bait is probably only TJ Yeldon, who isn't going to get me a whole lot in return.

 

I also have Yeldon. Almost started him yesterday instead of Sims. My WRs aren't horrible - well until the injuries - Green and Decker have been great. Was excited for Watkins, but this injury is a downer. Grabbed Crowder because he had been a consistent 13-15 points (PPR) and Beasley. Crowder didn't do anything and he's going back to the waiver wire. I'll try and get Robert Woods. I also have Eifert.

My other team was at the time of the draft, horrible. But some additions and I'm 2-2.

 

Watkins and Decker were my first two WRs in an auction league. I was fortunate enough, though, to grab Sanders and Diggs later.

 

Ugg, so with Wilson on a bye I need to figure out something at QB
Best options are: Winston vs CAR and Wentz vs DET. Both secondaries have been bad this year...Winston hasn't looked great so far. Wentz I don't trust yet.

 

I'd go with Winston because the Carolina secondary is a dumpster fire and he has more talent around him. However, I don't think Wentz is necessarily a bad choice. He just has a lower ceiling.

 

I was making a similar choice with Brees on a bye, basically between Wentz, Hoyer, Flacco and Dak. I went Wentz.

 

I want to believe Good Hoyer will have a good game against the bad Colts, but with these two teams, I'm sure it'll be a 16-12 interception fest. Then again, I have finally benched Luck in a league in which I'm winless, so he'll probably throw 6 TDs.

 

I've been streaming QBs in my auction league. So far I've been successful choosing between Winston, Dalton and Prescott. Leaning Dalton this week.

 

Went 2-1 last week despite two of my teams being severely wounded by the loss of Decker and all three missing Aaron Rodgers. WR situation is pretty shaky all around.

On one of my teams I have Rodgers and Roethlisberger and I'm ready to try to deal one for a big-time WR. So I ask you, SJ.com Fantasy Nation, which one do you think I should keep and which should I trade?

 

Tough choice for sure. Both QBs do not have an ideal stretch during fantasy playoffs. Rodgers has Seattle, Chicago, and Minnesota. Big Ben finishes with Cincy, Buffalo, and Baltimore. Right now both are fairly even in production - Big Ben hasn't had his bye yet, Rodgers has and his two rushing scores have helped his numbers. Which receiver are you going after? If it's Brown, you deal Rodgers.

I'm 1-3 with my 'top' team which has lots of talent, just gets outscored by a few points every damn week. I've been getting offers for AJ Green, none of the return has been good. Injuries to Watkins, Decker, and Martin have hurt. However, I scooped up West and Robert Woods last night. I may play West over Sims. Still very thin at WR. In this league you can play a QB in the flex - I have Taylor, Carr, and Hoyer. Could maybe try and trade one of those - well maybe just Hoyer or Taylor for a somewhat capable No. 2 WR .

My other team is 2-2 and I have no idea how. No depth at RB since Langford got hurt. Couldn't get Howard off waivers. Ware has filled in okay, but I am very thin at RB - Ware, Washington (Detroit, maybe hurt), pretty much the entire NYG backfield, and Gurley. I do have three good TEs - Gronk, Graham, and Miller. Could try and trade Miller or Gronk for a No. 2 RB. Or too soon? Wait to see how Gronk is and deal someone else?

 

Is Antonio Gates droppable? I've been plugging the hole with Tamme and would love to not have to waste a spot on a second TE. Part of me thinks he's not that good anymore and his body might be breaking down. The other part of me thinks he can be the main receiver in a very good passing game when (if?) he comes back. With Tamme, he's hit-or-miss, but he gets red-zone looks in what's been an excellent offense so far, and it's not like the rest of the position has been setting the world on fire.

ETA: Gates and Tamme have the same bye (week 11). Best TEs on waivers are Allen, James, Doyle, Green, McDonald, Clay, Walford and the like. You know, garbage.
