Another rookie that has a ton of potential and is ready to bloom at RB is Elijah McGuire who will get the bulk of carries today as well.

Or he's stuck in a time share.

And he is...

Without a QB... Well, Aaron Jones isn't in much of a time share, but McGuire is.

Quick thoughts on a time sensitive trade?

Give up: Aaron Jones GB RB

Get: Joe Mixon RB Stefon Diggs WR

Seems like I'm getting the better of this. Mixon get lions share in Cincinnati, diggs GS been a beast when healthy and jones surely can't beast without Rodgers right?

Current RBs: zeke, buck Allen, Blount, F Henry, Aaron Jones and David Johnson on the IT.

Thanks for any thoughts.

I’d do it.

Ended up getting Chris Thompson, Joe Mixon and Stefon Diggs for Aaron Jones, L Blount and A Thielen. Sure would like it if Mixon could start doing something with his opportunity. Might have given away the better Viking WR but Diggs ceiling is much higher. Still think I won this trade.

Not bad.

So I've already got Delanie Walker and ASF at my TE spot....but I could go pick up Greg Olsen after this week. Yay? Nay?

Is ASF supposed to be ASJ of the Jets? Is so, I think I would drop him and pick up Olsen, especially after the Benjamin trade.

I have another trade I am trying to get through. Currently 7-1 but have now lost David Johnson, Zeke and Dalvin Cook. The trade would be Russell Wilson/Doug Baldwin for Antonio Brown/Jay Ajayi.

Current Team:
QB: Russell Wilson, Deshaun Watson
RB: DJ (IR about to be dropped), Zeke, J Allen, Chris Thompson, Joe Mixon, Derrick Henry
WR: Doug Baldwin, M Crabtree, S Diggs, C Kupp, J Kearse, D Robinson
TE: D Walker, C Clay, T Kroft

I would likely pick up Garoppolo as a worst case option in case Watson went down. Seems hard to expect continuing to win without an upgrade at RB at this point.

Not to be a downer, but I think this is my last year playing FF. The skill has all but been removed from the game.

We play 2 RB, 2 WR and a Flex.

My starters in those skill positions?

Gordon
Kamara
Evans
Thomas
D. Murray

I'm 3-5 and my season is effectively over as I'd have to run the table to make the playoffs.

Three players routinely ranked in the Top 5 at their positions every week, and two that are usually in the 12-18 range.

Yet I can't beat a team that started Matt Moore at QB and started most of his bench and waiver pickups due to buy week issues.

****ing stupid.

[The Franchise]

Yeah....it was Sefarian-Jenkins. Damnt. Ended up picking up Shephard from the Giants instead. I'll wait another week and see how Walker is with his injury.

What's the rest of his team look like?

The rest of his team is pretty much trash, I took Watson and Aaron Jones (who I flipped already) off him days before ARod's injury.

His team:
QB: Mariota, Rodgers
RB: Ajayi, Perine, A Peterson, M Lynch, A Ellington
WR: A Brown, A Jeffrey, J Landry, Lockett, Higgins, T Benjamin, Roger Lewis
TE: Evan Engram, J Thomas

[The Franchise]

Why in the **** would he make that trade? He only has two starting RBs right now as it is. I don't see why he would trade away Ajayi for yet another WR.

I have no idea. He is 1-7 and a younger guy. He has been known to make some bad trades. Seems like a worth while gamble on Ajayi if I can get him to take it though wouldn't you agree? This league has the lame position cap rule, only 5 RBs on active/bench so I would have to drop or include my worst RB in the trade. Comes down to J Allen or D Henry. I like Henry's upside if he can ever get enough carries, seems like Allen is the guy.

Oh I would totally take Ajayi from him. And if I was in your league....I'd be throwing a fit that the kid is that big of an idiot. Why is he still holding onto Rodgers?

Probably because waivers don't process until tomorrow. I expect he drops him tomorrow. Then again, not sure I want to try to climb inside that head and figure it out!

Stafford vs. Bears or Bortles vs. Browns
