The rankings contest results are a little slow this week. The participants have been spoiled this season getting them on Tuesday mornings this season. So I have nothing to report on that front. I felt good about how my projections turned out last week. I didn’t have any huge misses that I’m kicking myself over.
We’re always looking to bring different ways to bring you the best content that we can and I think that we came up with something that will be exciting as we kick off October. Our new writer Pat is a hard worker if you haven’t noticed from his weekly data reports. So I’m going to have him write up flex rankings for your consumption each week. This will be similar to what Donkey Teeth writes over on the baseball side. DT thought this format would translate well to football as well. A beautiful alley-oop by the non-human Razzballer. But for now, here are my rankings for week 5!
I’m fortunately pretty loaded at RB (Melvin Gordon, Ekeler, Le’veon, Gurley, Gallman)….been offered Zeke for Gurley and Ekeler. I should probably take that right? Give up some depth, get back the best player?
Thanks MB
Yep, absolutely. Grab Zeke while you can
good morning MB,
we’ve had a tough go of it with QB so far this year & this week is no different. according to your rankings, Dalton is ahead of K.Allen, Minshew, J.Allen, D.Jones & Cousins. what a horrible list of options.
Dalton doesn’t normally perform well on MNF, however he seems to be in a position to right the ship this week. It’s not exciting & could be a disaster, but he’s still the best option of the bunch?
thanks!
He definitely has the highest upside. I think he is the play
Is J still doing rankings? Didn’t see his weekly rankings post last week
Believe so, they came out saturday
Would you trade Terry Mclaurin for James White in PPR?
Current RBs: Kerryon, Devonta Freeman, Jordan Howard, Tevin Coleman, Rex Burkhead
Current WRs: Julio, Josh Gordon, Terry Mclaurin, Curtis Samuel, Robby Anderson
No, I’d keep McLaurin
Should I be holding on to Hunter Henry or can I safely drop him for upside type ?
Depends what’s on the wire, but yeah I don’t have an issue with it
.5 ppr should I trade
DIGGS, GALLMAN and EBRON
for
INGRAM and ENGRAM?
Currently starting Melvin gordon and hyde at rb and Diggs is my #3 wr behind Adam’s and OBJ.
Yes, I’d do that and do it quick
12 team ppr no TE spot 2 Flex
Trade both my d williams/Montgomery for devonta/engram/Royce freeman
Only if you need a TE
Yeah I did away with TE for our league
Have one more offer my Sutton for his fuller V/devin singletary
Sutton is my wr3 with AJ Green out a couple more weeks. Have Hopkins/Beckham/Sutton/hardman as of now for 3 wrs spots
I like Fuller’s upcoming schedule, I’d take that
How low are you on Juju ROS?
Was thinking about offering 2 of Alshon, John Brown, & Golden Tate for him, thoughts?
Appreciate it
The Juju owner just offered me
Juju and Miles Sanders for Marlon Mack and Alshon Jeffrey, would you do that?
My Rbs- Leveon, Mixon, Mack, Ronald Jones, (dropped Gio temporarily so I could start Eifert vs Ariz over Delanie walker Vs Buf)
My WRs – Robert Woods, Alshon, John Brown, Golden Tate, Curtis Samuel, Diontae Johnson.
Been having a lot of trouble at WR specifically. Picking which WR to go with Robert Woods each week has been hard and only getting tougher with Tate back.
Yeah, I’d do that. I think it’s a good idea to get rid of JuJu and I think that’s good return
I would be the one getting Juju. Getting him and Miles Sander and giving Mack and Alshon. Sounds like you would advise against trading for Juju right now?
Correct. Read it wrong, my bad
Is Royce Freeman a must-add with my top waiver priority? I would drop Ross and have a lot of RBs, but figured could deal one during byes for a WR.
RBs – McCaffrey, A. Jones, Carson, Sanders, Montgomery, Singletary, Coleman
WRs – Hopkins, Sutton, Chark, Pettis, Ross
I mean I like him more than Ross ROS but I’d use top priority elsewhere or save it for later
Hi MB,
would you trade:
Give: WR Julio Jones
Get: WR Josh Gordon & RB Josh Jacobs
My team is:
QB: Wentz
WR: Jones, OBJ, Desean Jackson, Golden Tate, Corey Davis
RB: Sony Michell, Ronald Jones, Duke Johnson, Latavius Murray, Ito Smith
TE: Ertz
Flex: Wr/RB
K: Lutz
DEF: Bill
12 team league
thanks!
Yeah, looks like you could use the RB help, I’m fine with this
do you like more Jacobs or Mack in this trade scenario? thanks
Leaning Jacobs
I currently own Hockensen and McDonald. Would you hold Vance to see if he plays this week, or drop one of them for the following? (0.5 ppr)
Eifert
Burton
Fant
I’d hold
Howdy MB! .5 ppr league! Crazy we are already at week 5
I’m currently 3-1 & that is 2nd place in my 10 team league
Would you do any of these deals or stand pat
1.) deal my OBJ for nick chubb?
2.) deal my OBJ + DJ to get kamara? Am I giving too much here?
3.) deal my Watkins to get Marvin Jones ?
4.) deal my Watkins to get Calvin Ridley?
5.) deal my Watkins to the guy who has 3 TEs he has engram, Hooper & dissly. I was thinking hooper or dissly, then flip one of those TEs to a TE desperate team for his Marvin Jones?
6.) deal Watkins + Ben Watson to get his Damien Williams? It’s the same owner as above who has Marvin Jones
7.) deal my Watkins for Sterling Shepard?
8.) deal my OBJ + Watkins to get Keenan Allen + Damien Williams?
My RBs are DJ, cook, David Montgomery, Tevin Coleman, Chris Thompson, Jonathan Wilkins , Darrel Williams , mattison
My WRS are obj, thielen, Josh Gordon, aj green, mvs, Watkins, dionte Johnson,
My TE starter is Waller & I got Watson for Waller’s bye next week but if I deal watson I’ll add Herndon for week 6
** FYI was this bad? Thought I offered a fair trade my thielen for his RB3 Josh Jacobs . He countered with my Obj for his manny sanders + josh Jacobs . Should I have taken it or hell no?
Lastly drop Wilkins for one of these: Mostert, Jeff Wilson , ito Smith , dexter Williams, ballage or ajayi? Not the best list lol
Thanks for your your insights I like your witty headlines
Hey Water Boy!
1) Yes
2) no
3) No
4) yes
5) no, that’s the same thing as trading Watkins for Jones lol
6) No
7) yes
8) no
I’d say hell no to that last trade.
I’d drop him and stash Ito
Thanks, I’m glad someone appreciates them.
.2 PPR (so pretty much standard or at least not even .5 PPR). can only have 6 WR at any time. dk metcalf or aj brown, i have metcalf and c.davis as my worst WR’s.
Metcalf
scratch that one. have these 6 WR: metcalf, c.davis, JJSS, julio, j.brown, sutton drop any/which for any of: r.anderson, p.williams (just dropped these 2), tate, pettis?
the first of those just dropped, not by me.
Tate
guessing metcalf is the drop for tate
Yeah, I guess. I’m really not a Corey Davis believer
crap, that’s a.tate, same answer still. clearly i’d have grabbed g.tate (and he was drafted anyway) if that’s the tate i mean. forgot about there being 2 of these now.
Haha me too, I like Auden Tate a lot this week.
Diontae or Metcalf ROS, PPR redraft
Diontae right now, but it’s close
Kamara 10th for rbs? Lol
Check 0.5 PPR. Standard is an algorithm
Would you be looking to trade OBJ or do you still believe he will come around ? If you were to trade him which RB’s do you feel would be good return ?
I’m actually convinced he’ll turn it around
14-team, 0.5 PPR : Pick 2 of 3 RBs for me :
Damien Williams vs IND
Wayne Gallman vs MIN
Jordan Howard vs NYJ
Gallman and Howard. No idea how much work Williams gets
In a very rough spot this week. I need to start two of these guys (0.5 ppr)
Agholor
Dorsett
Westbrook
Auden Tate
Diontae Johnson
Dorsett and Tate
Someone dropped Kenyan Drake in my PPR league is it worth me burning my #1 waiver claim on him ? Our wire is super thin and I’m sort of weak at RB .
Thanks
If it’s thin go for it
MB!
How are you? I hope you are doing well. Could you please help me out this week? I am in a ten team .5 PPR league. We do have big play bonuses in my league. Can you help me figure out who to start? I’m really really torn between what to do at Flex along with what to do with my WRs and TE. I would really appreciate it.
QB- Goff OR L. Jackson?
RB- D. Cook
RB2- N.Chubb
WR1- T. Boyd? OR C. Scary Terry?
WR2- C. Ridley? OR Scary Terry?
Flex- L. Fournette? Scary Terry? M. Sanders? C. Ridley? T. Boyd ? M. Andrews?
TE-Andrews OR Waller?
K- K. Fairbarian
D- Cowboys OR New England?
Thanks
William Trill Cauley-Stein
Winston or Murray ros
Winston
same .2 PPR league as above, same rule for RB’s (max 6), have all 3 SF guys (not j.wilson) and singletary/michel/d.will2 (the 3rd stringer),
drop mostert (gotta think d.will part 2 has more value in case of mccoy or d-will1 injuries) for which of: mattison, wilkins, armstead, the other d-will (GB)?
start 2 RB, 2 WR, 3 flexes. this is the entire lineup:
RB: 3 SF non wilson guys, dwill2, michel, singletary
WR: metcalf (could grab tate, i benched metcalf), sutton, c.davis, JJSS, julio, j.brown
TE (1): ertz, hooper
QB (1, but large benches and maxes at RB/WR you have bench guys elsewhere if you want them): wentz/k.murray/dalton
I’d grab Wilkins,he’ll fit right in if Mack continues to get banged up
Need some advice… Should I start Damien Williams or Marquez Valdes Scantling at Flex this week, in a Yahoo 0.5PPR league?
Thanks for all the rankings and advice! Y’all rock!
