West might be my greatest waiver pickup ever.

West might be single-handedly saving my fantasy season right now.

Also hoping to squeeze a few more solid outings from McFadden before his inevitable injury.

Profundis · Nov 2, 2015

Alshon Jeffery and Josh Gordon from 2 years ago just about saved my season.

Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen suffered a kidney injury Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens and will be out indefinitely, coach Mike McCoy said Monday.

so someone is proposing a trade. High dollar ppr league.
He gets:
Julian Edelman
Danny Woodhead

I get
Phil Rivers
Deandre Hopkins OR larry Fitzgerald.

Thoughts? Hopkins or Fitzgerald. I have no QB at all mind you and most are sitting on people's bench.

Hopkins is a stud. 11 targets is his floor.

If you have no QB I don't get how you don't make this trade.

Sterling · Nov 3, 2015

Hopkins and Rivers seems pretty good if you're starving at QB. I don't know what your RB situation will be without Woodhead, but this seems like it would be good for you.

Floyd or Johnson as desperation WR to pick up from SD?

Muurloen · Nov 3, 2015

Floyd is a major boom or bust kind of player where as Stevie fairly serviceable (career wise). I'd take Stevie.

Profundis · Nov 3, 2015

Looks to be about a pick-em to me. Floyd has more yardage on less receptions, but Johnson has way more yards after contact. Otherwise, they are pretty evenly split. I'd probably go Floyd simply because Johnson missed 2 games this year with a hamstring issue.

So I'm sure everyone is going to be all over DeAngelo Williams this week, is Jeremy Langford worth a pick-up with Forte being down for an indeterminate amount of time?

Lost foster, bell and smith the last 2 weeks. Stings

OK I have 1st in the Waiver Order and my season is totally gone to shit. 3rd in points, last in standings. Can't catch a fucking break, run in to a juggernaut every fucking week.

So I'm feeling tempted to use that waiver position. Problem is my team is pretty stacked(as we all are in this league. Top waiver options after QBs(Have Eli/Ben starting, not running at Mariota) are RB's Deangelo Williams(Bell) and Jeremy Langford(Forte). My current RB crop is AP(solid, not a gamechanger this season), Latavius Murray(see AP), Danny Woodhead(Solid as well, but very high gamechanger potential especially with Allen going down), TJ Yeldon(turned in to a go-to guy, seems he might be reliable), and Carlos Hyde(Fuck Carlos Hyde).

I could drop Hyde for Williams. Then my flex options(this week) would be Williams, Woodhead, Yeldon, Allen Robinson, or Eric Decker. Pretty sure Williams would be the best choice out of those. Though it's hard not to play Robinson(AB/Jeffery at WR).

Shit, I'm 2-6. Fuck it I'm making the move just to finish the season Steelers Ride-Or-Die style.

Thanks for the talk friends, you always help me in these situations.

I'm getting desperate for RB's since Arian Foster is out, now Mate Forte is down for a time, and Marshawn Lynch is on a bye. Picked up three off the waivers, but I'm not sure about them. I have Jeremy Langford, T.J. Yeldon and Antonio Andrews. I have Langford and Yeldon starting, but Andrews has a higher projected and I don't know why. Who should I start of the three?

Man FA pickups are fucking bullshit. Hate when a league resets it to reverse order of W/L every week so at 4-4 I have zero chance of getting ANY good FA pickups ever while the people with the bad records are able to snatch up every single good player without fail.

Bah... just pissed I wasn't able to get DeAngelo Williams, Vernon Davis, OR Jeremy Langford this week.

1.Chalupa Batman DeAngelo Williams, Pit RBAdded.SWAR droppedKarlos Williams, Buf RB to Waivers.

2.Penis Toes Jeremy Langford, Chi RBAdded.PT droppedGiants D/ST, NYG D/ST to Waivers.

3.Well I Tried Willie Snead, NO WRAdded.isuk droppedBrandon LaFell, NE WR to Waivers.

4.The Struggle Is So Real Vernon Davis, Den TEAdded.

All Aboard The Fail Boat!DeAngelo Williams, Pit RBUnsuccessful.Reason: Player has already been added to another team.

Need some advice. In first place for record and points scored in a league right now and got devastated by injuries this past weekend. Lost Keenan Allen, Leveon Bell and Kendall Wright. My roster as stands is:

QB: Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Stafford
RB: Leveon Bell (IR), Frank Gore, James Starks, Alfred Morris
WR: Keenan Allen (IR), Kendall Wright, Julian Edelman, Eric Decker, Stefon Diggs, Andre Johnson
TE: Greg Olsen
K: Justin Tucker
D: Denver Broncos

Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB/WR/TE, 1 D, 1 K. 12 team league, 2 keepers with a 2 round draft penalty. I'm being offered Rishard Matthews, Lamar Miller and a 14th for Keenan Allen and a 3rd next year. Would you take it? I countered with Keenan Allen and a 5th for Miller and a 10th, but he doesn't want to bite on that. Someone else has offered a 6th for Miller.

DickTrickle · Nov 4, 2015

I think it's a deal worth taking if you care more about winning this year than next.

Do I go with Felipe or the Red Rocket this week? I'm leaning toward Felipe, because of Dalton's typical, primetime performance.

Also, at WR, do I start Dez or Malcolm Floyd? Floyd should be the #1 now, but Dez has a juicy matchup with the Eagles. I just don't know if I can trust Dez's production without Romo throwing him the ball, however.

Yeah, I'm not starting Dez unless a healthy Romo is in there. I watched the whole game last week and Cassel looked terrible whenever throwing the ball further than 5 yards down the field.
