I have Cousins.
I guess he's my QB ROS.
Riding my bench while I could've picked up guys like McKinnon, A Jones, or second TE like ASJ or Engram from waivers.....

Is it safe to drop Rodgers? Im 5-1, best in the league, but Ive lost a lot of my cushion with Rodgers and Beckham going down. Playoffs are pretty much assured. I picked up Goff as soon as Rodgers went down to just have an option before waivers opened. Im probably forced to stream guys, might consider picking up Luck and praying he makes a difference in the playoffs. I just dont want to drop Rodgers and have him beat me in the championship or something stupid, though it seems unlikely he comes back.

Streaming Tyrod and dropping McCown, so hopefully that doesn't blow up in my face this week.
Now I've got to decide whether Snead or Watkins is worth the start this week.

1-5 and need something to help me win some games. Trying to send Alex Smith to the guy who owns Aaron Rodgers for Freeman or Martin. Not expecting him to but lets see if he bites. There aren't many good options on the waiver right now so that could work in my favor plus Smith is the #3 QB in the league right now so that must be worth something. I'd be rolling with Mariota.
With Rodgers out I need to pick from this great litter of QBs..
Goff
Tyrod
Manning
Bortles
Dalton
Cutler
Beathard
Flacco
Hundley
Trubisky
I really don't want to use a waiver on one of these guys. Especially with Goff having a bye the following week.
The guy I'm facing needs to pick up a QB too :/
It'll prob be first choice Goff, second Taylor. If both are gone, it'll be a nice dart throw.
Imo, Kamara unless Freeman gets injured.

I got Diggs and Rivers for Peterson and Parker.
I lost Rodgers, how do you think I did?

I'd prob go McFadden tbh. I have Powell in my money league and he is horribly inconsistent. And also banged up.
Use it on McFadden. Powell, even when healthy, is going to have Matt Forte eat into his workload, and while McFadden will split time with Alfred Morris (and for all we know, Morris will end up the lead back), he is doing it behind the best Oline in football, and has a track record of success
It's a nice little stretch of games coming up to test if it's a legit fantasy D worth keeping. Away to Green Bay with no Rodgers, home to Chicago and Tampa Bay.
ugh I just looked at my 1-5 league
I've scored the most points out of anyone in the league and I've had the most points scored against me out of anyone in the league. I've had 812 points scored against me, next up is 706 points. a fucking 106 point disparity.
maybe that means I can actually turn it around and go on a winning streak
that shit's frustrating as all hell though

Welcome to my fantasy year last year. I wound up missing the playoffs the last week when the team who had scored something like 65 the week beforehand went for 130.
I hope you have better luck.

guy started 1-5 in our league last year
he went on a hot streak and won every game and won the whole thing
his team was stacked as fuck though (zeke/bell/gordon)
who knows what the fuck will happen from now to end of season, may as well try and see how you do.

How do I decide between Dak or Wentz this week...
Dak minus Zeke or Wentz against a stout Skins defense. Is Lane Johnson coming back?
I'm playing against the Leveon/Fournette owner. Gonna be a dogfight.

For those who want an update on Zeke ASAP.
This person is in the courtroom right now for the hearing.

Lane will be back, yeah. I would roll with Wentz. But I'm an Eagles fan, so I may be a little biased!

corey davis ruled out this week
hope due to that and the upcoming bye, i'll be able to pick him up before anyone else does
bye andrew luck, while I wanted to believe, I don't want to anymore

Id say Wentz has proven his skills against good defenses already so go with him

I think he's safe to drop. He needs surgery, it seems highly unlikely he's back before fantasy playoffs are over.

Who has the greatest potential, in order from most to least?
Aaron Jones
Adrian Peterson
Dion Lewis
Orleans Darkwa

I would say AP. Palmer looked amazing again now that he has a RB. That's going to open up the defense. They are now dangerous in the air and on the ground, which helps both.
Nope. I've held Henry for the entire season and I never feel confident in his production week to week. Murray is the featured back, and the only reason Henry put up pts last night was because of that huge run and TD in garbage time. Otherwise he was mediocre.

RB2 has been such a crapshoot for me since Dalvin's injury in one of my leagues. I scooped Murray instead of McKinnon and he was useless smh
Should I start Darkwa, Dion Lewis, Mike Gillislee or Bilal Powell this week?

How about the rest? I probably will not be able to pick AP up due to the waiver order.
RedNalgene

I would say Darkwa and then Dion Lewis, in that order.

I'm trying to pick back Carr up dropping Rodgers. Dropped Carr when he went down for Watson, thinking I'd just need him for the Pack bye.
If I don't get Carr, I don't know who.

going to see what andrew luck's "status" is this week before I just flat out drop him for corey davis (since he's ruled out and on bye next week, i'm hedging that no one will pick him up in my league)
i want to believe but at the same time I want off this ride. I took one look at the qb's available on the waiver wire and it's just awful

Trying to get Ivory and James Connor as a Fournette/Bell owner is like asking to give up your first born for what they want from me.
Probably doesn't help I kept DeAngelo Williams away from the Bell owner the previous years... That's why he drafted Connor away from me.

I have a question about the ESPN Fantasy Waiver Wire behavior. I Googled it but couldn't find an answer.
Here's the scenario.
I'm at the end of my budget so I'm placing all my remaining money on my top pic for the waivers. I'm then going to pick up some fillers at RB/WR in the next picks for some non-zero dollar value. I'm doing this in case I get outbid on my top pick I'll still have some money left that I'm throwing at these guys.
Here's the problem:
What happens if my top pick goes through and I have $0 left in my budget but I have two waiver pickups with non-zero bids. Does it mean those waiver spots go *poof* automatically or will I bid $0 for those two players?

Is anyone really going to want him at this point though? You might have better luck hoping for a big game in the next week or two and then trying to unload him.

I would hold onto him... They gonna run more without Rodgers and the team still likes him. Jones will eat into his workload but it should keep him healthy.

In my experience any bid you cannot afford is nullified. In theory you could make a second bid at zero, but I'm not sure if ESPN would support it. But you definitely could, in theory, make a second bid at zero if the drop player is different.

Thanks for the insight. It just complains if you try to do a waiver claim for the same player twice, regardless of the bids you placed.

Ended up getting Gano and Saints defense.
If that's point chasing, I'll take the gamble.
Hundley is bound to make a mistake eventually.
