That's a risky trade. Was this an auction league? How did you get Bell and Mccoy? Depending on how bad your receivers are, this seems like you're giving up a consistent set of RBs for a mediocre RB, and 2 young unproven guys. Maybe the ceiling is a little higher, but the floor is a lot lower that's for certain. Unless the rest of your team is hot garbage I don't think it's worth the risk.

Is Bell even good though guys? He slapped up a fat zero last week and is projected for the same this week. Trade him!

I hardly think shipping off a useless Victor Cruz, Jets-Brandon Marshall, and A.J. Green for Antonio Brown and Watkins is "horrible, horrible."
But then again what do I know, I've only won the previous 2 years. And you know nothing about the rest of my team and depth.

I'm going with Sankey as the safe pick, John Brown as the upside pick. Personally I'd play Sankey but I like getting RB's into the flex whenever possible.
Also just a note to everyone, helps give advice if at the very least you tell us if you are PPR or not.

Sankey vs the Browns
I wouldn't blame him for playing Brown, I did say I think there is higher upside there, but of that list of players I'm playing Sankey.
James Jones is playing against Seattle with a chip on their shoulder who have done a great job of shutting down A. Rod in the Pete Carroll era.
*edit: If we are going on last year let's not pretend that Brown lit the world on fire. From week 9 on he averaged just 7.9pt per game in PPR, only breaking double digits twice. His QB situation didn't help, but neither did Sankey's.

I'm in the trade or drop camp (unless your league has an IR slot to stash him on). Too many question marks on his time-table to return to waste a bench slot on him.
If you are trying to trade him, your best bet is to use him to sweeten the pot on a blockbuster deal imo. Won't get much straight across for him unless you have some Cowboy homers in your league.
*edit: You do have up until the bye weeks start to keep him stashed waiting for news and/or the right deal, but after that I'd want to have the bench slot available for active players unless he is obviously ahead of schedule.

Peyton Manning against the Chiefs this week or Ryan Tannehill against the Jags? Both are away games.

Last year, Tannehill @JAC- 14.6pts. Manning @KC- 12.6pts
Personally I was staying away from P. Manning this year because I'm worried that he is done and would rather write him off (fantasy wise) one year too early rather than one year too late. I'm also not usually a fan of guys on a short week. On the flip side, Jacksonville is actually playing improved football in the secondary and actually is the worse matchup.
I think if I have Manning on my roster (which I wouldn't have) I wouldn't overreact to one week and would have to play him.

I've got Manning in, kind of tempting to swap him for Cam Newton, but Newton wasn't all that either last week. Still, at least if both have mediocre games again Cam has the X factor of possible rushing yards or even those rushing TD's. Probably just go with Manning again tonight and see what happens, seems too early to start benching him. Also picked up Mariota off waivers because who knows.
Did I mention this is a keeper league, and I also kept Dez? Heh, FML with this Manning shit especially. He was great that first year, fucked me down the stretch last season, now probably going to fall off a cliff and I'll be back to scraping for a QB for next year.
