Didn't want to take a QB early or even mid round so I held out until the 10th round and got Ben.  After the numbers he put up last season I was feeling pretty good about that pick until Sunday's game against the Pats rolled around.  Obviously that was just one game, but if he's done, my team could be in trouble.

I fortunately made the right choice week among my Rivers/Roethlisberger tandem.  Ben has plenty of dumpster fire games, typically on the road though.  So him starting the year with a face palm doesn't make me think he'll be a disaster all year long.  You know they are gonna throw a ton, he probably leads the league in attempts again.  Just try to pick your matchups wisely.  I'm always very wary of starting him on the road unless it's a terrible defense.

Yeah never play Ben on the road, period.

I think he has a down year.

Any thoughts as to who you'd rather have: Kerryon Johnson, Aaron Jones (or neither)?

[Biggsy]

I have some trade questions.

I'm in a .5 ppr dynasty league.

My starting roster is currently

qb- Rodgers
RB- Zeke
RB- Bell
WR- Thomas
WR- Diggs
TE- Kelce
WR/RB- Brieda/Penny/Robby Anderson

I'm kind of in cap hell at the moment with so many studs. I currently have two trades in place that both managers have already said they'd do.

First trade would be Zeke, Kyler and a 2020 rookie first rounder for Josh Jacobs and JuJu

second trade would be Bell for Kerryon Johnson and DJ Moore.

I'm not sure if I should take the two trades and have a ton of cap space back plus a lot of youth. Or stand pat and go for the championship this year.

[NewMarketSean]

I wouldn't make either trade.

[Biggsy]

I wouldn't make either trade.

Well now I have another option for Bell. It would be Bell and Diggs for Kamara. So I'd end up with Kamara, Jacobs, Juju but I'd lose Zeke, bell and Diggs.

Kamara will be downgraded without Brees. I think I still wouldn’t make the trade.

Yeah I'm not expecting much from  this season., doh!

[Biggsy]

In a redraft I would agree. In hung up because it's a dynasty league. Kamara and Juju are cheap, and they're young. Those to have the highest point to salary ratio. Which is a huge advantage in dynasty. But, my team is perfectly fine the way it is. I'm leaning towards no. Just looking for some second opinions

[NewMarketSean]

Kamara or Carson???

[McNulty]

Listening to OJ bitch about his fantasy team, how can anyone carry on?

[NewMarketSean]

Kamara or Carson???

Rolled with Carson because I was down so much but it didn’t matter. Lost by 60.

[DuffMan]

Had Andrews on my bench week 1 and 2 because I also have Ertz.  Naturally I put Andrews in this week and we see how that turned out.  Luckily my team sucks and it didn't matter.

Week 5....

 

 

Flex (non-PPR): Watkins v Ind, Michel @ Was, or Diggs @ NYG

I'd go Michel for non-PPR. Watkins if it was PPR. They spread the ball around in KC, so for non PPR you are TD dependent and I think Michel gives you the better odds. Yardage could probably be the same for both Michel and Watkins. 

 

Diggs is in a run heavy offense so no go there. 

 

. 

[DuffMan]

I agree with not using Diggs for now.   Minnesota seems to be content with relying on the Run game.

 

I'm using David Johnson for RB1

 

I have RB2 and Flex Open for

 

Phillip Lindsay , McCoy and a returning Melvin Gordon.  I really want to put Gordon in but first game back I'm unsure of his workload...

[Mackus]

McCoy's been really good but Damien Williams is back this week.  Still, I'd start him among the 3 you mention.

 

 

Somewhat related, I just traded McCoy for Odell Beckham in my work league.  It's not a super serious league, but even still, I don't know how someone agrees to that.  My benefit!

I had a trade down the wire last night to deal Davante Adams and Jaylen Samuels for Cooper Kupp, Hollywood Brown and Justin Tucker but apparently Yahoo locks team trades 5 minutes before TNF deadline. Was not happy last night, especially with how Kupp played.
