NFL Fantasy Thread Part 4

Kinda how my team is atm when Ingram and Kamara are out. Boom or bust. Edelman will be consistent tho Pain has offered me up a very juicy trade on him so may be gone from my squad tonight.

I got lucky and grabbed Marlon Mack off the trash pile afyer someone dumped him... Whoever that was, thanks. Heh. Here's hoping he can stay injury free, looks like Indys no. 1 run option

I dumped him after he had been kept out for so long and there wasn't even rumours of him making the next game. Very next week he is back and looking solid with no injury concerns.

I am genuinely upset by that.

I wouldn't mind trading for Kamara if he is available.

How do IR injuries work in the NFL. I have Devonta Freeman and from what I read, he won't be back to till week 15. Can he come back earlier or is week 15 the earliest?
Who has him in League 1? What to do with him?
Is he worth keeping till week 15 or might as well drop him for a healthy player?
Any advice would be appreciated.

RnT I wanna talk about Mixon & Miller.

there used to be an IR feature where you didn't have to drop them and they didn't take up a bench spot mate, not sure if removed or not originally selected when setting up league

I thought the IR Feature was apart of the ESPN league mate. But I think Pacey is talking about IR in the NFL specifically not fantasy.

Week 15 is the absolute earliest he could possibly come back now that he is placed on IR. It is also unlikely he even comes back then. Also keep in mind the Falcons are 2-4 so aren't looking like Playoff Contention team so they may just keep Freeman out for the year and let him recover.

"The Falcons are allowed to bring two players back from IR. Freeman wouldn't be able to return to practice until six weeks from Tuesday, and he can't play in a game until the Falcons face the Panthers on Dec. 23. His return likely wouldn't happen, however, if the Falcons aren't in the playoff picture."

Valuable info Random. Cheers bloke.

Put out 5 trades consisting of guys who I am interested in. Just trying to get their value and everything to work out some trades.

Either PM or counter with guys you are keen on. Also this week will suck as I watch Gurley not only rip apart my 49ers but dismantle my Fantasy team as well.

Thanks guys. For such a good player, it's a shame that Devonta was no value at all this season. Rest up son. See you next season.

I have Freeman and will probably drop him. I couldn't handcuff him on draft day but I picked up Ito Smith off the waivers to offset him somewhat. Considering I've (we've) been playing with effectively one less bench spot all season it's not really any different haha

I've dropped Freeman today and you're right. We've gone this long basically without him so not much has changed, although each of the last few weeks, I've looked at my side and thought it's going to be so much better when Freeman comes back from his foot injury and now he's gone with a groin injury. Oh well, wasn't to be...............

Mate, they didn't come through?? ....unless you don't like my team....

@Enchanted Glossy Flamingo - Ref the trade rejection. Sorry but I couldn't see a spot to explain.
I'm only after a decent TE for the bye week, so not willing to part with a guy that I'm regularly using (read:needing).

your additional doesn't help me cause I'd need to dump another. Which I'm not really keen to do otherwise I'll just waiver wire someone to milk a couple of points.

At this stage, I'm going to let Jimmy Graham earn me a big fat goose egg.

Yeah I realised that after I sent it, was just curious how high you were on Njoku independent of JG. Even though I'm really thin at WR this week because of byes I'm not really looking for WR2/3 depth like Shephard at the moment, more someone with WR1 upside who can cover Tate/Adams if they go down or even possibly replace Tate ROS.

Feeling pretty good about my team at the moment too

Hey mate, could you PM me with ideas? Was it you who sent the trade through? sorry get confused between names on here and team names.

I've been a bit short on time recently so haven't had a chance to look at options.

My problem is though that Im a bit short on RBs.... so I feel like Id need to be getting something pretty impressive in return...

Aren't you a Chargers fan @Welshy? You going to the game?

My god the Cardinals are bad

Its cringe worthy
