stevegrab Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 He was one of 4 players added from waivers last night (players that were released late Tue night waivers) along with Sanu, Tavon Austin and Buck Allen. Think that is the first time I've seen more than 1-2 Tue drops be added though waivers, its a sign of how deep our rosters are, the guys are often fighting over scraps.

blaw23 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Pretty much exactly the issue. As a Dolphin fan I am really growing tired of Gase he seems to be more of the problem than Drake. 1 hour ago, Def. said: Pretty well sums it up.

stevegrab Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 2 hours ago, LordOpie said: it also begs the question why your leaguemates aren't trying to trade more. At least list some guys as "trade bait"? Does your league do much trading? I think we have more trading than some leagues, one reason is our keeper structure (no limits or contracts, I could draft a rookie and keep him forever, and each team must keep 5 players). Some guys don't have that 4th or 5th good player, so they trade their extra talent for draft picks. One thing that prevents more trading, is our deep bench, with room for an entire 2nd set of starters (but I could carry 9 extra RB if I want). I just traded Ebron plus a pick for Davanta Adams, then grabbed Greg Olsen who was a free agent to use as my backup for Ertz in week 9, then probably trade him. The guys dropped off waivers, two were mine (Allen for Cohen and Sanu for Trubisky) were not players I could get anything for in a trade, and the players I acquired off waivers were not available on any roster.

1fastdoc Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 You traded Ebron after last night? Did you not see the googly eyes that Luck had for him? I think they're in love. I'll admit, I am bitter, having played Hines last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a classic example of how a fantasy footballer's opinion can differ from an NFL head coach's opinion. NFL head coaches like crusty veterans like Frank Gore. It should have been no surprise to anyone that Frank Gore is being heavily utilized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, it will also not be a surprise to anyone when Gase is fired at the end of the year because he did things like over utilize Gore. We're in week 5, why are you still going on about draft rounds at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where he was drafted is integral to how someone feels about him. I just picked up Drake on waivers. I love the Drake. A lot people who drafted him in the 3rd round are whining. They hate the Drake. Why should I not mention his draft spot? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awahl63 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 22 yard TD reception. He also had a bad drop on a swing pass where it looked like it was an easy 30 yards maybe a 60 yard TD if he makes someone miss. Unfortunately, Gore is receiving the vast majority of carries.

Fortunately I only have him in 1 contract dynasty league where I grabbed him last year. My comments in here are merely as a sorry fan of the Dolphins. Pointed out the draft round comment cause honestly I just find the whole "na na na na na told you so" crap some people constantly want to on around here as condescending and petty. This far into the season I find most redraft players no longer care where they drafted someone, they're just looking at what can and can't help their squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh, that makes more sense I was just messin' around anyways. Still baffling that he doesn't get the ball more. Could there be something contrarian that Drake isn't actually as good as we think, and Gase isn't a terrible head coach who's actually making the right personal calls? I actually wanted him on all my teams this year but thankfully struck out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually wanted him on all my teams this year but thankfully struck out. It's hard not to think Gase is what he after these 3 years. I know there's been bad luck with line and QB injuries, but that's no different than what other teams face too. Got to overcome. I'm more then willing to believe Drake is not that good also, but believe you gotta find out if anything is there because as mentioned above Gore isn't going to do anything for you but keep you mediocre at best. I firmly believe at the end of this year the entire system will be flushed and Miami will be starting from scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I traded Ebron before that game, Zack Ertz is and would continue to be my starter, and Ebron had the same bye (draft mistake) so he was not going to play for me. The trade was for Davante Adams (who becomes my WR1) plus a pick (10th round). Both teams gained about 12-15 points over their total had the trade not been made (Ebron over Hooper, Adams over Cole). BTW think I mentioned it elsewhere, Drake was dropped in our league and promptly signed off waivers, and was in that owners starting lineup (over stalwarts like J Williams, J Wilkins, Henry and Martin).
