I have some spare time, let those fantasy questions rip...

Hello Irish, hoping you could give me some advice as to who to try to pick up, who to drop, who to start and who to bench in two of my standard leagues.

 

League 1: QB -R. WILSON, RB- J STEWART, RB C. HYDE, WR JULIO JONES, WR BRANDON MARSHALL, TE Z ERTZ, W/R B. COOKS, K VINATIERI, AND DEF- SEAHAWKS :::::: BENCH A. DALTON, M MARIOTA, J AJAYI, C IVORY, D JACKSON, A GATES.

 

League 2: QB- E. MANNING, RB-L MCCOY, RB-L MILLER, WR-JULIO JONES, WR-B COOKS, TE-- J REED, W/R-M. FLOYD, K- C. CATANZARO, DEF- BENGALS ::::::::::::::: BENCH A. DALTON, M. RYAN, C IVORY, D MURRAY, J STEWART, T EIFERT

 

I think your lineups are perfectly set for both leagues. In regard to which players to add and drop for your teams, I'd need to see what options you have on the WW versus your current squads.

my best options at FLEX are Markus Wheaton, Tyler Lockett, and Ameer Abdulah.... both Locket and Abdullah are projected to get 8 points, and Wheaton with 7, Wheaton will be going against a rather lax defensive backfield at Washington and I think he could out perform his projection and Abdulah possible under perform... what do you think, who would you start?

 

non ppr standard scoring

 

Because it's non-PPR, I'd be starting Abdullah. After him, I'd be going with Lockett. Wheaton faces the toughest test and has to prove he can handle it on the biggest stage. And again, non-PPR is key here.

There's a guy in my league that's desperate for a RB. He offered up Alshon for a RB and we came to this: Rawls and Decker for Jeffrey and Yeldon.

 

Rawls and Decker are on my bench and I'll still have some depth (check out my sig). I don't care for Yeldon but he's better than any RB currently on the waiver wire. Should I do it?

Hope you enjoyed your dinner Irish. So, someone offered me D. Williams for R. Jennings. My other RBs are J. Charles, D. Johnson, Langford and Yeldon. Since Charles is still a little banged up and won't be playing the 1st game or two, I'm thinking Williams would be a solid starter until Bell comes back and Charles is feeling 100%. I'm feeling good about Jennings though too this year. What say you sir?

That's a dead even trade in my book and I'd make it to get Jeffery, therefore upgrading your starting lineup.

Hey Irish, I drafted Leveon Bell and Jamal Charles (before he was supposed to miss time) in a 14 team standard. Initially I was pretty estatic with this combo, but now I am worried. I have L. Blount, J. White, Buck Allen, and C. West as my only backups. Should I try to trade Bell or just suffer through. My WR are a bit weak with Decker, Crabtree, Wheaton. Thanks man!

I like your team a lot and actually think your RBs are fine, especially since it's for PPR. Do you realize that barring injury Miller is expected to be Top 5, and last year Woodhead was Top 3, Murray was Top 10, and Riddick was Top 20? Therefore, you have 3 Top 10 RBs and another in the Top 20, to go with a solid set of WRs and 2 very capable QBs who could finish in the Top 15, Cousins breaking the Top 10. Your biggest area of weakness is actually at TE with Witten. Witten probably will finish outside the Top 10 and it may be a good idea to trade Witten and a solid WR to upgrade at TE. See what you can get...

I would really appreciate some help in who to start in my FLEX position for week 1.

 

14 standard league

 

QB Brees

RB Gurley

RB Peterson (yeah somehow I drafted both)

WR Hilton

WR Cooper

TE Barnidge

W/R/T FLEX????

K Bailey

DST Chiefs

 

BN DeSean Jackson vs Steelers

BN Spencer Ware vs Chargers

BN Ameer Abdullah vs Colts

 

Why the struggle?

 

Jackson has a contract year so he's going to want to go off (I know this is just for week 1 though). Steelers secondary also isn't what it used to be and the Redskins are playing at home, where they had a lot of success last year.

 

Ware is starting in place of Charles, who is still recovering. He will also get the majority of the carries this game. The Chargers defense isn't the greatest either. & Ware played well last year when Charles went down.

 

Abdullah is the clear #1 on the Lions and will get the bulk of the carries. I know Riddick will be used for passing scenarios, however. Abdullah didn't live up to expectations last year but I believe can give me a solid 7-10ppg on average this year. He's the only one of the three that is playing an away game.

 

I'd appreciate any advice. Thank you!!!

 

***Also I have TJ Yeldon but didn't consider to put him in because he's playing the Packers and will be splitting carries with Ivory most likely around 60/40 at best in Ivory's favor.

So you'd be getting 3 players for 1? Looks like you could use the QB, Barnidge would become your starting TE, and the drop-off from Marshall to Hurns would be about 60 points on the season, which is pretty big. So, when you look at it overall, does the trade improve your starting lineup? So you'd improve at TE and QB but not enough to make up for the loss of Marshall. It's a close trade but I'd probably pass. Classic, load up deal to get the stud.

Personally, I'd pass on that deal. Williams will most definitely outperform Jennings in weeks 1-3. However, then you'll be left with a bench RB while the other guy has Jennings who will be startable anywhere from a RB2 to flex option. Keep Jennings.

With this being a PPR league, Miller holds down the fort as a solid RB1 and did you realize that in PPR scoring Sims and Roddick finished as the number 17 and 18 ranked RBs in the league last year? That's pretty solid. However, if you're looking for a bit more consistency try to package one of them and maybe Moncrief, Brown or Coleman for an upgrade at RB2 for say - Hyde, Duke Johnson or one of the Murrays.

I'd just stick it out. It'll suck for the first couple weeks but hopefully, those 2 come back strong and carry you the rest of the way. I wouldn't move Bell at all.

Without question you start Ware in the flex spot this week as I think he'll outscore Adrian Peterson.

Thanks Irish. There are actually some capable TEs on the waiver currently that maybe I wouldn't have to package Witten and a WR for. What do you think of options such as; Clive Walford(OAK), Eric Ebron, or Charles Clay?

 

Clay is an option but the issue is, none of those guys are an upgrade over Witten. Did you get my PM?

I would trade Duke Johnson n Vance McDonald

I'd receive Allen Hurns n Pharoh Cooper

 

My WRs are Kelvin Benjamin, DeSean Jackson, Ty Montgomery, Jermaine Kearse, Chris Conley, Eli Rogers

 

My RBs are Todd Gurley, AP, Devontae Booker, Alfred Morrris, Buck Allen, Duke Johnson

 

My TEs are Austin Hooper, Jared Cook, Cole Wick, Vance McDonald.

 

This trade worth it for me?
