That's usually a good thing. Players don't get traded to not be used at their new team.

Carlos Hyde?

He'll get plenty of use at the Jags. Who the fuck knows what was going on at Cleveland with everything thats come out of there this week.

Yep the exact same scenario and it's worsen by the fact I don't have decent RB depth and because of that I felt forced to drop him.

I reckon Tate will get more production now simply because the offence he is on now is actually decent. Bugger about the bye thing though....

Sellers remorse? Not too worried about the bye, I've got this week covered in the WR's. I'll need something special to happen to get up in the H2H this week though.

No, not at all. Was just trying to reassure you, albeit just my opinion. I see on NFL.com they suggest his value dips a bit. Certainly a few winners out of todays trades though (and losers), but from what I can see, most have already been picked up.

I needed a RB ASAP, Tate was riding the bench for me most weeks, so still happy with the trade. People are hoarding RBs in our comp (understandable) so Breida is a massive step up as a back up for me compared to what I would have been able to get on waivers.

Never know mate, you might string a few together - 4th place is still up for grabs for sure right now and from there any thing is possible.Beating Mearcats though, thats gonna require a ton of luck

Small sample size. They wouldnt have given up a 5th round pick (and cut Charles) if they werent going to use him. He might get less use, he might not. But they didnt spend capital on him to have him hug the bench.

I'll hang on to him to see how it goes.

Thought I would struggle to pick up Keke with WW priority at 4, but I got him

Pacey is the FA ninja scooping up DJ Moore at the exact moment the waivers cleared though

I thought the waivers were done around 6.30. At about 6.00, I thought I would log on to have a look at trading with someone and just checked the WR and he was there as a FA, so grabbed him. I thought for sure he would be picked up off waivers. That was a fluke.

That was so lucky I logged on at the right time to pick up Moore. I'm surprised not everyone does that every week.

I got Keke from W7 so I was pretty happy with that. Someone got Doyle out from under me though. Luckily I have a couple of weeks before the Kansas bye

Very tempted @Bronchose but I don't think I can rely on Kerryon as a weekly starting RB yet

Also, it sucks that you cant press counter offer in a trade and then go back and decline if you don't see anything you like. Once you press counter offer it automatically declines the trade unless you make a counter offer. Means you cant leave a comment as well which is dumb

Keke’s stocks rose when fuller went down but they quickly fell again when they traded for Thomas. IMO there were abd I suspect still are several  better options on waivers than Keke

I got Watkins for example in L1

Geeze Im in trouble this week with Byes - although perhaps it is best to get it all done in one go.
I have my #1 (Barkley),#3 (TY Hilton), and #4 (Mixon) picks all out. Gonna need some luck to win this weeks match up!!

By the way, how does our comp work (L1) do we play round robin up until and including week 14 and then potentially 2 weeks (15 and 16) for finals?

I'd also like to know how the comp works for L2 as well.
R&T, there is a week 17 as well. Is there only 2 weeks for finals ???????

No fantasy in week 17. Too many players get rested as teams get less subtle about throwing games for draft picks / stop caring.

Week 15 and 16 are finals for both leagues. No idea why there aren't match ups in week 17, maybe a result of players being rested in the past?

Thanks guys...........
