Is Waddle worth keeping for $29?  $200 league no-PPR.  Seems a little steep to me but I don't have any other candidates.  Can just throw him back and try to get him cheaper at auction.

 

Also keeping Jefferson ($46), Hall ($37) and Stroud ($10).

Had my 14-team, 0.5 ppr, 6 pt QB TD auction league draft tonight:

QB: Jayden Daniels ($6)
WR: Cooper Kupp ($27)
WR: DK Metcalf ($29)
WR: Terry McLaurin ($22)
RB: Jonathan Taylor ($57)
RB: Kenneth Walker III ($33)
TE: Tyler Conklin ($1)
FLEX: Devin Singletary ($6)
DEF: Seattle ($1)

BENCH: Jared Goff ($4), Jaleel McLaughlin ($5), Tyler Allgeier ($3), Dontayvion Wicks ($4), DeMario Douglas ($1)

I think so, yes. He’s being under valued right now.

[NewMarketSean]

I say no. He’s not worth $29.

I'm in a "Productive Struggle" (AKA Rebuild) in one of my dynasty leagues. It's a start 10 league, but only required to start 1 RB. I will likely be pick 1.01-1.03 next year in the rookie draft. It's a superflex league (2 QB's) - and I have Caleb, Bryce and Cousins. My WR's are Waddle, Dell, Addison, Downs, Iosivas, Mingo, Johnston, Mims, Whittington, Javon Baker. TE's are Pitts and Bowers. In dynasty, when you're in rebuild mode, you shouldn't hold RB's due to their volatility and health concerns (+ shorter shelf life). I do have young RB's stashed like Ray Davis, Dylan Laube, Roschon Johnson, Carson Steele, Jaylen Wright.

 

All that to say - I'm being offered Ricky Pearsall for J.K. Dobbins. Dobbins could help this guy win the league, but obviously could go down next week. I don't know if there's ever been a player with such a low floor and high ceiling. Is Pearsall enough? The advanced metrics loved him coming out of college, as does Matt Harmon. The Aiyuk extension scares me a bit here.

Would you trade McLaurin and Josh Downs (since added with Douglas and Wicks dropped) for Nico Collins?

Obviously wipes out my already-incredibly-light WR depth, but theoretically improves my starters/ceiling.

14 team, 0.5 PPR, 3 WR league

Currently 2-1 but 8th in points

Have a juicy proposal that I admittedly typically wouldn’t do but has potential league winning upside. Only caveat is I truly worry CMC will be out much longer (if not whole season - this Germany trip is worrisome) and I’m already struggling through injuries (Kupp, KW3).

What would you do?
Give: McLaurin, Singletary
Receive: CMC, Bucky Irving

QB: Daniels, Goff
RB: Taylor, KW3, Singletary, Allgeier
WR: Kupp, Metcalf, McLaurin, Downs, Johnston, Whittington
TE: Henry

[You Play to Win the Game]

I wouldn't trade for CMC. I like where your head is at, but it's an achilles, I bet he's done and they're playing coy. 

 

OTOH, if you're 8th in points and you think that's more a sign of things to come rather than a bad start, you have to try something. Would rather go down swinging than stand pat and watch it happen. 

 

But I'd look elsewhere IMO.

Yeah, the fact they’ve already played coy with CMC in August makes me think he’s done done. I actually like my team and believe the lower rank is points is more tied to my injuries (KW3, Kupp) and TE being a wasteland than anything. 4th and 8th is a difference of only 20 points - Kupp and KW3 easily hit that in two weeks over their replacements IMO.

OK that's good context. I'd stand pat, or look to make a similar move but for another guy who may actually return.

 

You don't send someone to Germany if it's not a big, big deal. I'd also maybe stash Guerundo in case Mason goes down. That SF run game is plug and play.

Got an interesting offer.

Would you trade Kupp for Nabers and Tyrone Tracy? I feel like I’m overthinking it by not immediately accepting but I love Kupp this year, and he should be back Week 7. Added “bonus” is I have Singletary and no current RB2 due to injuries this week.

RB: JT, KW3, Singletary, Allegeier
WR: Metcalf, McLaurin, Kupp, Downs, Johnston

[You Play to Win the Game]

I’d probably do that deal.

[Pedro Cerrano]

You absolutely do this deal

3-1 with the highest point total in my 12 team league playing against the 0-4 lowest scoring team this week.   I don't need to tell you how this matchup is unfolding, fantasy....
