NFL Fantasy Thread Part 5

+ Roethlisburger gone for the season and NYG havnt committed to Eli(te) in Week 3 yet, which is usually telling. Could be quite a changing of the QB guard going on.

And Dolphins get another first round pick, Minkah+4+7 to Steelers for a 1+5+6.

Jalen Ramsey also demanding a trade. Xavien Howard or Rashard Jones will be next, if they havnt already. Trent Williams demanding a trade. Gordon being told to find a trade partner. The league race could wildly change in the next month.

So with Eli benched for Jones (some say Eli will be trade bait for a team with QB needs *wink, wink, Jags*), does Jones get some of the Giants passing attack going?
Asking for a friend that's been holding Tate and Shepherd for a while...

Traditionally, a new / rookie QB will mean an increase in volume for RB and TEs, as the scheme will involve a dump off/safety valve/shit im about to die if i dont ditch the ball receiver more then it would for a veteran (whod just throw it away or make the play anyways), which is usually a throw to the RB in flats or TE in the middle. No idea how Jones will go. He looked ok in preseason on short-medium passes, was efficienct but hes still a rookie. Their offence is still going to revolve around Barkley.

I'd be surprised if he has chemistry with Tate off the bat, he's not allowed to practice with the team while suspended - but Tate is going to be their tall redzone unit, so if he throws a trust ball or a jump ball in the end zone, its going to go to him. Ive got Tate in a league and am optimistic about his chances of making an impact. I dont think Eli/Jones being there affect him too much.

Ha yeah, nicely dodged by me. I'm holding Winston this week. Feel he's good for an average performance that translates into big fantasy pts this week.

Streaming QB all year for Gordo ?

Is Deuces still not playing at all in L1 ?

And he's 2-0. FFS.

Hey guys apologies for not being around, things a bit busy at the moment.

Re Deuces - no idea if he is gonna be back, but not sure we can do anything about it now given we are now 2 weeks deep. Doing anything now would either advantage or disadvantage people unfairly.

Re my 0:2 record, jeepers, I pretty much have the 2nd top score for each of the first two weeks yet have gotten smashed both matchups lol. One of the reasons I've never been too much of a fan of H2H leagues, but thems the breaks (I think it worked the other way round for me last year from memory).

Will attempt to be more active in the coming weeks, might even grab someone off waivers with my #1 ranking That said I've got deadlines galore and some time overseas so gonna be tough.

Well done to those killing it this season!

Avatar bet for the week Luckynumber8?

Yes unfortunately, dead last in that one too. At least I’ve set my lineup in this league, can’t say the same for that one. I’ll b back though mate, minor setbacks

Its a long season. I'll be out of trades soon anyway

Hehe, pretty cool. Watch the video at the top.
Lil bit corny, but still a funny rant.

He's right though

Whoever is 0-0-0J Howard has a trade offer.

really hoping we can find a way to get Ramsey on the roster, he already would be if the Cowboys weren't so damn paranoid, but then we got a quality tackle instead so i can't complain, having Stanley AND Ramsey would be pretty amazing though.

Damn hoping you boys weren't watching waivers and I could get that any Diggs pick up
