NFL Fantasy II

Archer wrote:I had a thought last week when all the discussion around waivers and trades were cropping up, so tossing it up here to get peoples opinions/any objections.

It might be interesting to see the activity from week to week across the leagues (basically just what you would see in the "Activity & Messages" section), could generate some more discussion on here and would also be a handy learning tool for us newbies to see what some of the more experienced leagues are doing week to week. I'm happy to post up L2's if I remember, as long as there are no objections to me doing so.

Nope. I agree it could stimulate some discussion. After last weeks effort for our "top of the table clash" (resulting in my monstrous 40-odd total score)- I think I need the help!

Yeah get em out. Open slather !

I wake up at 4.40am, check the phone and i have another humorous trade request from Pain. I appreciate the laughs

Have offered what I consider to be a pretty decent trade offer in L3....Jordy Nelson and DeMarco Murray for David Johnson

Come on lads.. are there only three of us left playing

Would like some feedback on a trade I made this morning in the NFL.com ex sportal keeper league 

(Me)
Melvin Gordon
Golden Tate
Emmanuel Sanders

For 

Ezekiel Elliott
Kelvin Benjamin

I personally think I got the better end of the deal especially since it is a keeper league

Any trade that involves giving Tate the flick gets my vote Welshy, fuck that guy.

  He has certainly turned the corner mate, always the same when you have some decent hopes for a guy, he starts shit, gets dumped then goes on a hot streak!

I say any trade that gets you a set and forget RB this year is a good trade.

Let us know how the David Johnson offer goes though

Russ getting greedy in L2 with the waiver wire. Not sure how he stole all those guys from 8th on the list!

I was definitely going for Starks, but I probably need the WRs more, so Britt got the call up.

Awaiting acceptance or decline still......

At the start of the week I wasn't really keen on anyone on the waivers (except for picking up someone to fill in for Luck during his bye). I picked up Kelley, Rawls and Hightower the week before and with Martin still to return figured i might sit tight for a week. But when the bloke coming first goes ham on the waivers, you do tend to second guess yourself and I can't help but feel I made another rookie error

I am. My team might be better off without me though.

Hey mate, yeah not having a shot  at you. I spend alot of time travelling to and fro work so read and peruse  alot of nfl related stuff whether it be from a fantasy/wagering/general interest point if view. Probably a sad cunt in how close i follow the nfl (writing this on the train on the way to do some overtime).  But any of the easy to find espn/nfl.com sites and apps keep us informed enough RE injuries. Just reading the uodates about coleman the last two weeks it seemed clear  he was going to be out again.  He is about the best flex play in the game so understand wanting to play him.

No worries, to be honest I was focusing more on whether to play Ingram or not anyway.  Which obviously turned out pretty well.  But when I saw Latavius Murray hit 30, I was cursing myself for playing Coleman instead.  Until I realised Mearcats scored a massive 147 and the extra 30 wouldn't have helped me anyway.

For a keeper league then absolutely you got a great deal there IMO.

If you want comment on that other trade, in short, I wouldn't go for it. If I had Johnson I probably wouldn't consider offloading him unless I got offered 2 top quality healthy players. One might argue you have the first criteria covered but both are a bit banged up.

Just my thoughts anyway.

Lol,turn it up.

I think alot of the hot waiver grabs in the last week and especially this week will turn out duds.

West to put it together today against the Browns.

Archer - Kelley and Hightower are fine .  I went looking for both to pick up first, but you beat me to them by a week.  

I'm taking a chance with a few flyers - Starks and Tate have been only average when playing early in the year, and Dion Lewis may be another Jamaal Charles with knee injury setbacks.  Maybe 1 of the 4 might be OK but I'm not sure which one.
