wpayers

I am still smoking my post-coital-draft cigarette and bam! I just drafted William as Shady's H/c. Ugh, I did my due diligence and ALL reports had this kid locked in as the #2. No one is safe in The City of Good Neighbors! My draft just finished and I'm already thinking of waivers.

Other than DD's here on the site, what sources do you look to for ranking of offensive lines? My basic google search didn't yield much. Mostly other subscription sites?

Go Gio. There's been chatter from McCarthy about getting Fatty back in the mix at GB. Maybe a 50/50 "hot hand" split. If so, then I'd take the better end of the Gio/Hill split over the Fatty/Starks mess.

There's still a lot of football left and injuries to RB are a given. Why give up a solid RB2 for a low-end WR1 that leaves you with no RB depth? Cooper and Hilton are on par with DT this year. I think you can roll with Hurns, Moncrief, Aiken or Jones from week to week as your WR3. I wouldn't do it.

I have same. Going with Reed.

Like rookies usually do. Throughout preseason they appeared overmatched. Smith is huge and looks slow. During the 1st half of last week's game they were steamrolled. However, they're talented and the Bucs are committed to them. The beat writers all seem to agree this year will be a slow learning process. Winston will be running for his life. But they'll learn together and be a solid core.

I'd rather have Monte Ball...

Cheers my arse. Hey man go away! If I wanted to go to your BS site I would have.

Tampa homer here..beware the O-line! It's been a work in progress all summer and didn't look very solid this past week.Starting two rooks. Martin, VJ, ASJ, Winston & Co will have a very long year if it doesn't drastically improve.

In general, I actually think it's a good idea. The caveat is, as others have stated, you need transaction flexibility. Also, this assumes your core skill line up is set, with one or two key handcuffs and QB1. Granted DSTs are heard to predict but you can turn that thinking around and argue than why stick with one. If you are lucky enough to pick up DSTs that play the turnover factories (Jets, Jags, or rookie QB/debuts, etc) then go for it. At least you've got trends on your side. Now specifically, IMO to the OP, your line-up lacks enough RB fiber to allow for tying up those rosters for DST. J. Bell, Mason and Blount aren't the most solid bunch. Your WRs may compensate for the weak RB production but other moves may be in the offing.

Whoa, I thought that was The Huddle!

Light just went off...perhaps he's E** conducting himself in a new persona. That of a sophomoric buffoon.

Seriously, just ignore him.

This is right.

In the it's better to be luck than good file. In one of my leagues a guy started Dan Herron and Latavius Murray at RB (replacing Bell and Gio, benched TRich) with Blount at flex. BTW, he's 10-2. The dude has been making moves like this all year. A deal with the devil, I say.
