Fantasy Football: 2015 Advice Thread

I didn't see that you had West and Woodhead. Yes. That's a good trade.

Tough one for me. Half ppr. Need 1.

McCoy banged up vrs Jets
T.Austin vrs Bears
J.Brown vrs Seahawks

Im sticking with playing Austin at home, he seems to do better on turf surfaces.

who i was leaning to as well. Too many unknowns with McCoy and Jets run D is rough. Brown is an unknown for me b/c Fitz and Floyd will be working the outsides, I feel like he could get a lot of targets in the middle of the field.

Still trying to work out a trade for a RB with my wealth of WRs (have Edelman, Allen Robinson, AJ Green, Amari Cooper). My RB situation isn't bad but could probably improve. I'm strongly leaning on West being the real deal and Frank Gore's consistent 10 points per week. After that I have dogshit - the terrible backfield of the Broncos (both Hillman and Anderson). I'm really just trying to trade for depth - and in case West was a two week wonder. I'm sitting pretty in my league right now and everyone is afraid to trade with me to make my team even better. So with that said, I think the best trade I can work is getting Justin Forsett for Amari Cooper. What's the consensus here RR br0s?

Dude countered with Edelman for Forsett. That's tougher. Edelman is one of the best WRs this season. I guess it's still better than having one of those WR studs ride the bench every week.

Just because he countered doesn't mean you have to say yes. Could try a hardline and say "Nope, Cooper or nothing." If he still says no just be like "lol jk okay Edelman."

Unless you think it will blow up the entire deal.

Marshall and Yeldon for OBJ? .5 PPR. I'm leaning no.

Is Yeldon a starter on your team? Or a bench player?

Starter currently.

QB: Rodgers
RB: Yeldon
RB: C. West
WR: Hopkins
WR: Green
Flex: Marshall
TE: Eifert
D: St. Louis

Bench:
Eli
Blount
K. Williams
Jordan Reed
Todman (picked him up hoping Deangelo's injury is serious)

Yeah, I wouldn't give up that much to make a small improvement to your Flex spot. What you'd lose at RB2 (figuring Blount would mostly take his spot) would make the move a wash, and all things being equal I'll keep the better RB.

Agreed. If Shady were to miss significant time i'd pull the trigger.

Need to fill a WR2 and Flex for this week. Standard scoring. James Jones, Mike Evans, Sammy Watkins, or Stefon Diggs? I'm leaning towards Evans and Jones.

I have Derek Carr and John Brown on my bench, the guy needs QB help bad. I want to offer those 2 for Aj Green. What do you think?

I have Cam as my starter so it's always iffy with his health but I'd hate to not make a deal based on a future injury. My team is really solid as is but adding AJ Green for the stretch could win me that extra game or 2.

AJ Green scares me a bit because of his yo-yo nature, but I mean he still is basically WR1 material. If you are just trading away bench depth for a potential starter I'm almost always for that move.

Just make sure you aren't doing that other guy too many favors. Check your schedule/standings and make sure you aren't directly competing with him for playoff positioning.

His consistency worries me a little too. I tried to get Julio for Carr, McCoy and John Brown but the guy wasn't having it.

I'm hoping he picks it up with an easier schedule down the stretch.

Barnidge vs Pitt (assuming McCown plays) or Olsen vs Ten? I'm leaning towards Barnidge assuming McCown plays since I think Cleveland might beat em up (or at least put up 21+).

Pittsburgh has been notoriously bad vs TE's since the dawn of football.

I think Jones just popped up on an injury report- you might want to check that out, not sure. If you already started Watkins, this is irrelevant, obviously, but I have a similar WR2 and WR3 dilemma.

I have Evans, Diggs, Hurns, and Cooper to fill WR2 and WR3 spots.

Right now I'm going Diggs and Hurns, even though most rankings have both Evans and Cooper higher.

-Diggs has consistently doubled or almost doubled his weekly projections with the exception of the game Bridgewater went out with a concussion in. Bridgewater is back so I think Diggs is a definite go- especially against Oakland.

-Hurns is another one who consistently dominates his projections. He seems to have some type of foot injury, but it apparently constantly dealing with nagging injuries and has always done well to spite them.

-Cooper is great and I really like him, but he rarely seems to exceed expectations when going against tough passing D and he has the vikings this week.

-Evans has sucked with a couple exceptions this year and if not for sheer workload even those games would be busts. I have fallen into the "he should have a great week this week, though" trap too many times with him.

I'm far from expert at this stuff though, so any of you please jump in if I am overlooking something.

I'd go Barnidge here too, personally.
