I'd go with Mixon.  He won't be going against the Ravens front every week, and I gotta think the Bengals may try to run it a bit more often seeing how bad Dalton looked.

 

I'd probably roll with either Cohen or K.Williams over any of those guys in Week 2 if you can either of them up.  If it's a PPR league, then Cohen is clearly the best of the bunch.

Cohen is already owned and I'm sure Williams will go before my waiver claim of 10/12. Actually had him earlier last week but I dropped him to add Raiders DST.

 

Aiming to get Tolbert and Austin Hooper. I have Matt Ryan, so the double dip might be nice.

 

Allen Hurns might be a good get too, but I have solid WR's as is.

Is AJ Green & Mixon for Le'Veon Bell a fair deal?

[bnickle]

I def don't like it in a dynasty league. Mixon has tier 1 RB potential and Green should remain a tier 1 WR for the foreseeable future

What are your keeper rules?

 

I'd do it in a re-draft league.  You still have Cooks and Tate at WR but only Dalvin Cook and a bunch of bums at RB right?  Cooks is a low-end WR1 and Tate a low-end WR2, but I think Mixon is a fair price to pay for upgrading from Green to Bell. 

 

If you can keep 3 or 4 guys and Mixon would be very cheap, he may have future value.  But if it's just 2 keepers, he might not even be someone you strongly consider keeping.  Or he could explode and be an obviously great keeper.

I can keep 3 guys for 3 years each.

 

Mixon is $27 so a good value going forward.

 

I'll hold off. Just getting antsy, really, and I want to avoid going 0-2.

Couldn't pull the Fournette trade

Couldn't pull the Fournette trade

Guy never responded, which is enemy #1 in our league. It's like Craigslist.

Was offered a trade today: Julio Jones and Mike Gillislee for Randall Cobb and LeSean McCoy

 

Current RB/WR lineup looks like this:

WR: Michael Thomas, Pierre Garcon, Randall Cobb, Corey Davis, Allen Hurns

RB: LeSean McCoy, Tevin Coleman, Joe Mixon, Theo Riddick, Chris Carson, Jamaal Williams

 

I really like Julio (duh) but I have long waited and worry about NE RB's. Thoughts?

 

EDIT: Re-draft league, no keepers.

[Mackus]

I'd do it.  I like Jones better than McCoy and I like Gilleslee better than Cobb.  But you're right that NE RBs are scary, and Gilleslee would mostly be TD-dependent.  But McCoy is getting to a scary age, Julio seems like the safer stud even in a redraft league.

Yeah, if it was any other RB, I would likely do it. Gillislee just scares the crap out of me but his next best option is Terrance West. (This other team is not good.)

Make the deal and then find someone who likes Gilleslee and flip him elsewhere.

What do you guys make of the AZ backfield situation?

 

Managed to land K Williams in two leagues via auction waivers.

 

Is this a hold and see or try to get him off the team ASAP?

if you can flip him for something, do it. I think it's a 3 headed beast with CJ back.

I'm worried about a full-on committee there.

[Mackus]

I picked up Williams in one league in which I own Johnson.  I think he's the only guy with a shot at becoming the primary option of the three guys there now.  It's a lottery ticket, but I was happy to get him for 15% of my FAAB budget.

Kerwynn named starter today

[NewMarketSean]

Sounds like Mixon will be buried in that committee again this week...so should I roll with Mixon or Chris Thompson? Non-PPR league.

[Mackus]

Jonathan Stewart or Kerwynn Williams?

[Pedro Cerrano]

Stewart.

Mixon.  Chance he gets more work if he gets rolling, or 50/50 chance of him getting goal line carries.  Thompson isn't getting goal-line work, at least not carries.
