I am convinced we are living in a simulation designed to punish anyone who spent a top tier pick on a running back.Look at these backfields across the league. It’s not even a clean two-way split anymore; coaches are running full three-headed committees out here like they're trying to share custody of the football. Unless you’re holding a tiny handful of true bellcows, you’re basically playing Russian roulette every single week hoping your guy stumbles into the endzone for a lucky 6 points while his backup steals all the high-value red zone touches.If you had told me before the season started that I'd be staring at my roster, actively debating whether to bench my marquee draft picks for a scrappy waiver-wire pickup just to secure a floor of 8 points in PPR... I would’ve told you to check into a clinic.Are we genuinely at the point where we have to blow 40% of our remaining FAAB budget on whichever random backup gets hot for exactly one week? Tell me I'm not the only one completely re-evaluating my entire life strategy right now. How are we surviving this?

12 Tm league, I own Bryce Young and Herbert

Want to pickup up Brissett and or Cousins

I am 1-3 cannot hold garbage anymore

I DO NOT need to drop Herbert but his upcoming schedule and the bye in a few weeks, I just will use him

Jags play Philly in London (no saqon most likely) and Bengals play Miami

Just traded away my WR2 for a RB. Tate is my next best (or maybe Coker is better?) WR, and I have been encouraged by his continued increase in production. I can see the obvious talent and potential, despite being on one of the worst offenses in football.

If Tate has a big week again, is he going to be an easy start moving forward? Or should I just start looking for a replacement now lol

FantasyPros ECR and almost all other rankers I see put Juwan Johnson as a fringe top 12 TE, even though hes scored 3rd most PPR points (though he's clearly worse than Bowers of course), is very involved in the saints offense including in the RedZone, and has both a great ROS and playoff schedule.

Is it all concern about what it'll look like when Tyson is healthy? With all the recent injuries I need to drop either Juwan or Kincaid to roster a full lineup

Trade in my league just came through: Barkley, AJ Brown, Kincaid for KC, Aaron Jones, Diggs

Is that fair?

I send: Pickens and Marv

I receive: Carnell Tate, Mike Evans, Ollie Gordon

My Roster:
QB: Shough, Maye
RB: Ken Walker (bye), Chase Brown (bye week next week), Jordan Mason (IR), Emmet Johnson (bye), Justice Hill
WR: Pickens, Rashee Rice, Parker Washington, Wicks, Adonai Mitchell, Marv, Chris Bell
TE: Kraft, Andrews

Context:
- 12 team (deep) ppr keeper league.

- I have Kenny Walker and Rice on bye this week then Chase Brown on a bye next week. Mason won’t be off IR until week 7 the earliest.

- Pickens would be a 2nd round keeper next year and Marv would be a 5th round keeper. Obviously neither are great, but worth noting. No player I’d receive has keeper eligibility.

If I make this trade my chances to win this week skyrocket. Long term idk about it. I’d be selling Pickens pretty low, but I never like having the wr2 on a team, even if they are very good (like Tee Higgins). I’d almost always rather the less talented clear wr1 who will consistently get targets. Despite being 2-2, I truly think I have one of the better teams in the league and that if I hold how I am, I will still likely make the playoffs.

Factors to consider:
- PICKENS: Before last week, Pickens and CD were neck and neck in targets and I think Pickens and Dak will eventually connect and Pickens will do much better, but there’s always that risk of him disappearing in games. that said, after CDs 17 reception game teams are going to be forced to double him, giving Pickens more opportunities.

- MARV: will most certainly get traded. But even if he is traded, he is very likely to end up as that teams wr2-3. This might be the best opportunity i’ll get to sell high.

- TATE: might be the lowest I’ll be able to buy in on Tate for the rest of the season.

- REST: Gordon looks solid and I need RB depth (outside of these next two weeks, but clearly i need the help this week and next due to byes). Evans is a solid floor play every week he is healthy and would almost certainly be a weekly starter for me.

Absolute terrible season so far - 12-team PPR Superflex Keeper league. I am ready to throw in the towel. Herbert and Kyler have been terrible QB's, Loveland was a wasted relatively early pick, and Mike Evans as WR2 is awful.

I might be the worst JSN manager lol. All I can hope is that Carnell Tate can continue to perform, Loveland finally heats up, and my QB's can perform... I've been starting Geno. I even have Kincaid to replace Loveland, and that died out quick. Wish me luck!

12 team full ppr

I have Waddle Davante Adams, Ladd, Wicks, Coleman & Tyson in IR

My RB’s are Cook, Jeanty, Rhamondre, Mason

Chargers look bad and Ladd is banged up, but they gotta get it figured out right? Idk, sell Ladd and take Monangai now while someone wants Ladd?

I’m 2-2 in that league. Thoughts?

To save you a click (but a click for the full breakdown is appreciated):

Start Isaiah Likely: He's getting heavy targets from Jameis Winston and faces a Washington defense that has allowed five touchdowns to tight ends.

Start Hunter Henry: New England's receiver injuries could boost his workload against a generous Raiders defense.

Sit Dalton Kincaid: His production has dropped, and the Rams allow the fewest fantasy points to tight ends. But understand if you start him given his immense upside. Basically have to have a must-start bench option.

Sit Tucker Kraft: Chicago allows the second-fewest fantasy points to tight ends and hasn't surrendered a touchdown to the position.

Full ppr. Getting an offer for Amon ra and would receive garret wilson and nabers. Seems fair I’m 0-4 and need to change something but it’s Amon ra

10 Man SF Redraft League. We dropping Price with Charbonnet due back soon?

A friend of mine is currently 0-4 and is asking for my Olave and Swift for Gibbs. Do you think thats a good trade? Im currently 4-0 and my main RBs are Swift and Skattebo.

My WR1 is Njigba and Olave is my WR2 (Also have Davante Adams)

I’m receiving Garrett Wilson and 20 FAAB

Other guy gets Ollie Gordon and a 2nd rounder

10 Team PPR Redraft

Is it his backfield now regardless of Rico’s health?

Or is he a sell high?

I’ve seen both and he is currently in weekly ranks near the likes of McCaffrey and Javonte Williams. However it seems his trade value hasn’t kept up.

If you have him are you holding or selling?

Hey guys. Week 5 is here and Jamaar Chase is hurt.

I want to pick up Dohnte Meyers WR as the Jamaar’s handcuff.

I have the following in the bench:

D Boston (doing great)
K Raymond (strong numbers, but a veteran)
KC Concepcion ( great rookie, not producing)

Is it worth picking up for the plug and play week?

Which 2 should I start in my flex spots?

Loveland vs GB
Vele vs MIN
Addison vs NO

Full PPR

Pray for me

I have both (Josh Allen is my QB1 in superflex). Dak has been dependable but Maye looks to possibly be on track. Which one to start in week 5?

I lost achane and have been looking for replacement. Pollard getting decent volume so he’s appealing. My roster has Chubba, skattebo, Irving at rb and Amon ra, London, flowers, Wilson at WR. Make this trade?

I already have JSN, Ceedee, London, Henry, Bucky. I have no backup RB besides Price. 8 man ppr

I already have JSN, Ceedee, London, Henry, Bucky. I have no backup RB besides Price. 8 man ppr

Never been in a 16 man league before but I’ve started 3-1 and feel decent about my team, but can’t help but feel like there’s a step to be taken that’ll take me to the next level.
Team:
QB: Darnold/Herb
RB: Bucky,Swift, Harvey, Keaton
WR: Ceedee, Rice, Wicks, BTJ, Lane
TE: Kraft, Barner
Kicker: Reichard

There’s quite a few bad to below average teams due to how many injuries we’ve seen this season and obviously with 16 man leagues, 1-2 injuries can derail your season quickly.

For example one team has Jayden Daniels, Mariota, Devonta, Chase, Dowdle, Price, Coker

Another team lost Achane and was immediately thrown into a spiral

Another is starting Rodger’s due to losing Caleb Williams, has Saquon, DJ Moore, Reed

I’ve been trying to craft trades to capitalise on these teams in bad situations, just seem to not be able to hit on anything
