Annual RCF Rate My Team/Who to Play Thread

Problem is I don't really want to drop MJD. Is he not ahead of McFadden in the depth chart? And even so, McFadden will inevitably get injured.

And I don't really have anyone else to drop....I do have three TE's on my roster but they are Reed, Donnell, and Allen. PPR league. Don't really want to give up on Reed and Donnell and Allen are kind of tossups. I guess Allen would be the one to drop.

What has MJD done that makes him worth keeping? Regardless of where he is on the depth chart, he's been uniformly awful the past few years. I had him on my roster last year and he didn't move the needle at all. Bell at least has the potential to be a game-changer, especially in a PPR league.

And yeah, three TEs in any league is overkill, especially when all three of them are pretty meh.

I too have some decisions to make on questionable running backs with Lynch and Ball on bye weeks, and Moreno out for who knows how long.

League #1 - Right now I have MJD and Blount starting (LOL). Just picked up Blount since Steelers have an easy schedule coming up so hopefully he gets more garbage stuff. Could pick up Joique Bell. That's about the only thing available that is enticing.

League #2 - Chris Johnson, Blount, Bush starting, with Lynch on bye and DeAngelo Williams questionable. Just picked up Joe McKnight, dropped some garbage from the bench. Forsett is also available though.

With Stewert and that other fat fuck getting injuries, I am pretty sure Williams is coming back this week. Believe he is practicing and there is only another awful RB on their roster. I would monitor his status and play him if he is a go. Going to get pretty much all their touches.

Picked him up in one of my leagues.

I was offered golden Tate foe Calvin Benjamin. Which player has the better upside?

Kelvin Benjamin (I am assuming who you are talking about... ) is your answer. Dude is getting targets like crazy. Especially if it is a PPR league. Clearly the #1 WR on that team.

Tate is fighting for targets with CJ. Who's gonna win that battle.....

Also, Carolina has pretty much all their RB's banged up.

 

[Jack Brickman]

Yeah, I'd definitely hang on to Kelvin Benjamin. The Panthers passing game is a mess and, aside from Olsen (the TE), Benjamin is the main receiving threat. He's going to get a lot of looks from Newton or Anderson.

That's what I was thinking it's not a ppr league but I agree with you. I like the receiver depth I have now. Julio, Patterson, Edelman, Benjamin. And roddy white

If it's not a PPR league, that's an even bigger argument for keeping Benjamin. With Calvin Johnson and two good RBs on the Lions (not to mention the TE they took in the first round), Tate just isn't going to get a lot of end zone looks. He has yet to score a touchdown this year. Benjamin is a big receiver who has proven himself able to catch well and get open. He'll be sharing end zone looks with Olsen. Cam seems to prefer Olsen right now, but I have to assume he'll start looking Benjamin's way more as the season progresses and he gets comfortable with his rookie WR.

Tate would be a solid third or fourth WR in a PPR league since he's basically Stafford's bailout option when Megatron is doubled, but I don't like him very much in standard scoring leagues.

Yeah thanks Jack. It would be cool to play in a ppr league. The work league I'm in is setup weird. I just hope Stafford picks up his game over the next few weeks. I don't have a backup qb and there isn't much to choose from on the wire

I added Bell over MJD but it's gotta clear waivers on Friday.

Would like to grab Allen Robinson before he gets too much attention. Should drop one of my TE's but I just don't know which one. Hoping Reed would break out but Niles is doing great while Reed is injured. Donnell is getting a bunch of targets (PPR league), Dwayne Allen has less targets but two TD's. Colts have more options though so I doubt Allen will continue to get TD's?

Could always drop my backup QB (Hoyer)

 

[Jack Brickman]

I personally only carry a back-up QB is I have someone worthy of being a spot starter. For example, in two of my leagues I have Ryan/Romo and Rivers/Romo respectively. Romo has had kind of a rough start to this season, but he's generally a pretty reliable fantasy football QB. My logic is that guys like Hoyer (solid QB but not really a fantasy starter) are always available on the waiver wire for when my starter has a bye week, so if I'm not in a position to draft a legitimate back-up (like Romo), I might as well just use that spot on someone else and grab a Hoyer for my starter's bye.

In my twelve team league I have Foles and no back-up because I wasn't really ever in a position to grab a good one. I'll just snag someone later when needed.

Yeah that was my logic too so I dropped him right after I made that post, hah.

Problem is now I have now I have a bunch of mediocre WR's and I'm guaranteed to make the wrong decision on who to play.

TY Hilton v Ten
DeAndre Hopkins v Buf
Alshon Jeffery v GB
Rueben Randle @Wsh
Allen Robinson @ SD

Right now I have Randle, Hopkins, and Jeffery.

Pending health, I'd probably play Hilton, Hopkins, and Jeffrey.

So the guy in my league emails me and said he didn't mean to accept the trade I made. I traded Matt forte for julio Jones. The guy emails me and says he didn't mean to accwpt the trade. It's already been accepted and Jones will be on my roster tomorrow. Shoukd I trade him back or tell him he's out of luck and should've paid attention

You tell him tough shit. He accepted it and didn't complain until now? Sounds like seller's remorse to me following Forte having a bad game Monday night.
