Finally!!

Looks like he will be on limited play count though.

Houston to win.

Naa mate, Edelman running at QB will be beast.

Also thanks to Gates being out most likely I had to pick up a scrub TE.

Elevating gronk at last minute looks to have been a real bad move. I was excited to see him active and have made a bad call

Hard gronk life indeed.

Impressed by the Pats again today, really thought Houston would have won this.

Blount rolling along nicely as a flex.

Blount was always going to score well this week.

Ditto - Gonna be tough to win this week's matchup now....

How good are the Pats though aye! Far out what a system they run!

Joy waking up seeing Blount rack up some points for me in the NFL.com keeper league then devastation seeing Rev and archer own the lump in these leagues and finding myself in a 22 point hole

Picking him up as a FA two weeks ago turned out to be a pretty good fluke I must say, even more so after all the injury problems I ended up having. I've given myself more than one pat on the back after that effort

Pun intended?

Didn't think you were clever enough for that lad!!

Its a hard Blount life in reverse.

Putting people in holes is chest beating material

Well Crowell's made it into the starting side and with Seattle yet to sort out their shit (thus leaving Rawls and Michaels on the bench), it will take some convincing / an RB2 for me to use.

I'm curious on any proposal from you though - could make this weeks matchup interesting if the players we trade get the other guy the win...

I'm listening... just. After all - he was offered up just 7 days ago...

Am I being enough of a shit kent?

Hahahah, nah, you're being fair! Unfortunately for me I had a combination of no time to get on here and research and make a decision and a sever lack of balls to pull the trigger without the research being done. Welshy has also offered me an option for DT but I'll hit you back.

So after Welshy offered me a trade for my rd. 1 pick of OBJ yesty, I got to thinking. It would be fun to see what (season ending injury asides) or who, it would take to trade your rd. 1 pick? For example, BroncHose may lose this weeks match-up to me due to Gronk. Now lets say Bronc had picked him as his rd. 1 pick (I think you picked him in rd. 2 tho @BroncHose, correct me if I'm wrong) how much does it take to get him off you. 

I just thought it would be interesting and a bit of fun. I had said OBJ would never leave my side but anything is for sale if "the price is right".

should never go where the are picked mate should go on how they are performing, only 2 weeks into the season so plenty of time to improve, no point holding onto a R1 pick 8 weeks in if they are under performing just because you didn't want to trade for R9 guy who is killing it

much like NRL fantasy there are guys who exceed preseason expectations and those who fall flat

Freeman last year was picked in or after the 10th round and wound up being the top scoring fantasy back, this year he is faling to live up to his new R2 fantasy tag...so far...

I'm aware of this, I guess I was more meaning now. As in currently. I.e. I'd be hard pressed trading out OBJ after two rounds or Gronk after three if either were my first round pick (in my case OBJ as surely he'll bounce back) BUT... If someone was to offer me, say "X" player, then I'd certainly have to consider that.

More a matter of interest and generating a bit of trade banter. One thing this draft shit seems to lack is trade banter due to the fact that everyone has "their" picks for a reason and wants to keep em.

I would of never dumped a R1 and struggled to drop a R2 pick on Gronk, absolutely dominant no doubt but always injured plus had 4 games to play without Brady

I love trade banter! I will send you one now to discuss haha
