    Interesting offer. This is basically Brees for Mariota. White seems like an okay flex or if you need a fill in with no one on the waiver. I have Crowder as well and he has been a decent WR3 for me with only having one low number game. Brees has Denver coming up in two weeks, but does face Tampa two out of three times in the fantasy playoffs. He's also had his bye, Mariota hasn't. Brees has had three 20+ games in a row. and minus maybe Denver, don't really see too many clunkers out of him. I would do it. Is there anyone else out on the waivers for WR?

    And I'm doing a small payout to the team who scores the most points. I had one or two people last year who are fairly new to FF who just wanted a points league and I was not going to do that - Since these 'games' in the fantasy football really aren't happening, but h2h has been the way since I can remember. I feel this could be the best of both worlds.

    I wound up making the move and picking up Enunwa off the wire. Amazingly, I then parlayed Enunwa and Kyle Rudolph into Michael Crabtree and picked up Zach Miller off waivers to back up Gronkowski.

    In the last week, I acquired Frank Gore, Brees and Crabtree for Tyrell Williams, Mariota, Crowder, Enunwa and Rudolph. Pretty good haul.

    I have no depth left, but if I can avoid injury, I'll be rolling out a lineup of Brees, Cooks, Crabtree, Le'Veon Bell, Gore, Gronk, Vinatieri, Buffalo, with a flex combo of Miller/Yeldon/streaming pick of the week.

    In my other league, I'm debating today: Moncrief or Ty Montgomery. Thoughts?

    Funny looking back at my draft and realizing that Gronk, Bell, Yeldon and Hurns are the only players left from my Week 1 roster.

    I got a total of 2 points out of Bell and Gronk in the first three weeks and somehow I'm in 2nd place.

    Quite impressive. I also have Enunwa and Rudolph who I've thought about shipping away since I have a healthy Eifert and might play Gates today.

    My other team has Gronk and I've been getting a lot of offers for him, but mostly garbage

    I like Montgomery if he is ready to go and if Cobb is out.

    edit: I desperately need a WR today. Currently have Enunwa, Woods, and Tyreek Hill going. Green and Crowder are on byes and injuries have decimated my lineup.
    Available:
    Quick - home to Carolina
    Roberts - home to Denver
    Cruz - home to Philly
    Hawkins - home to Dallas - Kessler at the helm.
    Patterson - home to Detroit
    Inman - home to Tennessee
    Janis - home to Indy
    Stills - home to Jets

    Leaning towards either Roberts, Quick, or Janis if Cobb is out. Slim pickings I know

    Torn between starting Carr at home tonight against Denver or Stafford indoors at Minnesota today.

    Carr won put up 38 points like he did last week. I'd be happy with 15 to 20.

    Stafford has scored only 22 total the last 2 weeks after putting up 29 3 weeks ago.

    Tough choice. I'm in the same boat, but we can roll with two QBs (one in the flex) if we want. Denver has basically shut down every QB to about 15 points (standard fantasy scoring) this year. I think Cam had 20 points plus, but he had rushing yards and a score.

    I want to believe this Oakland team is close to being the real deal, but Carr has been very pedestrian against Denver in the past. FWIW, I'm playing Carr and Taylor today with the likes of Flacco and Wentz, and Keenum (against the worst pass defense?) available.

    Stafford on the other hand. Who knows what will happen.

    Anyone else on waivers?

    Clinging to a 2-point lead. He's done, I've got Seattle defense out there. Ugh.

    A lot of pundits tout Baldwin as a WR1 in the offseason. I'd sure like to see that right now.

    The two sacks in the final minute by Seattle pulled me out of the fire. :)
