Post Draft advice-Fantasy Football

I'm in the same boat as you, but I have Gronk instead of Olsen. I keep getting pretty good offers for Gronk that I would probably accept if I believed McCown would finish out the season. I really need to make a move for an RB, but this QB situation is putting me in a tough spot with trading my TEs.

I don't think I am going to make the trade. It would just be making a trade to make a trade and I don't think that Crabtree and Gore would be an upgrade over McFadden and Barnidge. I like McFadden. here is my roster:

Brees
AP
Gurley
A. Brown
Hopkins
Olsen
Evans

Bench: McFadden, Andrews, CJ Anderson, Starks, Yeldon, Landry & Barnidge.

Who should I flex this week? .5 PPR

Chris Ivory
Karlos Williams
Brandon Marshall
Mike Evans
Delanie Walker
Eddie Lacy (yeah right)

Currently starting:
RB - Jeremy Langford
RB - Todd Gurley
WR - Antonio Brown
WR - Jarvis Landry
TE - Tyler Eifert

By the way, I would just drop Eddie Lacy since he's fucking awful, but this is a keeper league and I don't want to risk someone else picking him up, keeping him for dirt cheap next year, and then him blowing up again. So he's going to rot on my bench out of spite.

I'm torn between Evans, Marshall and Ivory.

I prefer to play consistency, so I'd go Marshall or Ivory.

I prefer to play consistency, so I'd go Marshall or Ivory.

Yeah Marshall was my first choice simply because he's only had less than ten points in a game once this entire year.

Ivory has been pretty consistent too when healthy, but he's really relied on touchdowns rather than yardage for a few weeks and that concerns me, especially for a Thursday night game since they tend to be shitty offensively. Regardless, he'll be back to my RB2 once Forte is back and Langford settles into a reduced role again.

I think Evans has the highest ceiling, but it's hard to trust him after getting burned so many times this season. If my receivers sucked, I'd throw him in there, but it's hard to justify starting him over Brown, Landry, and Marshall. Brown is the best receiver in football when Ben is out there and a solid WR1 when someone other than Vick is under center. Landry and Marshall are just consistent producers.

I'm torn between Evans, Marshall and Ivory.

I am torn between Evans, Cooks & Martavius Bryant. Have to pick 2.

It is so hard to sit Evans, because you know he can go off for 140yds in any game. Hard to sit Cooks cause he seems to be finding his groove now with Brees. Hard to sit Bryant because he is facing the Browns.

Currently have Bryant sitting. I feel the Steelers will want to pound the ball.

 

[Jack Brickman]

I feel you with Evans. He can get you 20-25 points any given game. The problem is just how damn inconsistent he's been this year. He's had as many single digit games as double digit ones, and that's in my .5 PPR league. It's hard to trust him right now.

Turns out it didn't matter much between Marshall, Ivory, and Karlos Williams last night.
Marshall - 9.8
Ivory - 12.5
Williams - 11.5

Ok, looking ahead to the playoffs.

Background- 14 team, 1 PPR league. 2WR/2RB/TE/Flex. Playoffs are Wk 14-16. I'm comfortably sitting in first and looking at a bye in Wk 14. So, focusing on Wk 15 and 16 here.

My team:
QB- Dalton/ Big Ben
RB- Gurley/ Ivory/ CWest
WR- ABrown/ AJ Green/ Landry/ Hilton/ S Johnson
TE- Eiffert

The RB and WR ranks below (lower is better) are based off of STD scoring I believe (I got them here: https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfoo...chups_week_10_ros_playoffs_for_all_positions/) but that's the best I could find without doing my own work. The first rank is total WR; the second number is just WR1 (though Landry might be a WR2).

Here's how my team is looking:

As long as Big Ben comes back, I should be set at QB.

RB- I'm pretty concerned about Gurley's schedule. I understand the start your studs theme, and he's done well against a couple good defenses so far, so I'm probably playing him either way. As long as West keeps performing, I'll probably swap him in for Ivory in Week 16.

WR- Would you guys swap out ABrown (or Landry) for Johnson in Week 15 or (more likely) Green for Hilton in Week 16?

TE- Playing Eiffert either way.

 

[Hurl Bruce]

Just traded Phillip Rivers for Ryan Matthews. Have Cam Newton and needed RB help. Wish it was a better back, but he's performed really well for a part timer. Here's hoping that Murray misses some time.

 

[The Oi]

I'm playing Allen Robinson and Alan Hurns this week.

Do I go with Bortles to double up or Dalton to diversify?

 

[Surge]

Always do the double dip.

Brandon LaFell or Jeremy Langford for my flex? PPR.

 

[Kouki]

jesus christ

amendola just had a beautiful punt return of about 80 yards

got tripped up by his own moronic blockers about 6 yards from the end zone. not a giant within 15 feet of him.

this could literally lose me a fantasy game.

 

[Jack Brickman]

Antonio Brown strikes again. He's just a different player with Ben throwing to him. It's insane.

I'm at 115 points already and still have Carson Palmer, Tyler Eifert, and the Cardinals defense yet to play.

 

[Kouki]

I could have had a monster game but I started the Pats D over the Chiefs (idk why I did that) and Bortles over Cutler (who saw that coming). Still had 129.

In my other league I am up 9.8 and he as Bengals D. Not feeling good about that one. He also has like 75 pts on his bench. He's gonna be maaad if he loses but I'm sure Bengals will put up 20.

I'm so glad I traded demaryius thomas and forset for antonio brown. Guy saved my season
