In a normal year, I'd jump on that for a Gronk/Dez/Player-To-Be-Named-Later trade, but Prescott isn't getting the ball downfield well enough for me to trust Dez yet. Especially with that knee thing popping up.

And it's only Week 4.

In another league, I'm relying on Eli Manning as my QB, which isn't great, but I've got my eyes on a trade for Matthew Stafford, who is going to do nothing but throw the ball all year long. His numbers since they changed o-coordinators last year have been efficient and off the charts, so I'm a believer.

I sent an initial offer, and my opponent countered with:

Eddie Lacy ---> Matthew Stafford and Latavius Murray

I nearly took it, but I decided to make a counter-counter to feel him out:

Eddie Lacy and Eli Manning ---> Melvin Gordon and Matthew Stafford


I trust Gordon more than Murray, but they'll both get their goalline touches.

If he rejects my counter, do you all think Lacy for Murray and Stafford is decent?

I think Murray is better than Lacy by himself. I would do that in a heartbeat.

I mean half of that is your own doing.
1 of 6. I can't control bye weeks, Dez Bryant's broken leg, Delanie Walker or Jonathan Stewart's hamstrings, or Jimmy G.'s shoulder. The only one that's on me is TB12.

You do know your bye weeks ahead of time. You shouldn't have 3 QBs on your team, period. So that's 3 of 6.

The only reason Jimmy G is on your team is because you are a homer. He should have been dropped 2 weeks ago. But enough free advice.

Tom Brady is hardly a normal situation this year. Otherwise, no shit.

Incorrect. I added Jimmy G literally two minutes before he got injured in the Dolphins game. At that point he was 42/59-496-4-0 through six quarters of football and he looked like a legitimate upgrade over Eli Manning for weeks 3 and 4. Once he got hurt, I tried to cancel my waiver claim but Yahoo wouldn't let me.

Why is he still on your team?

Waiting for news out of Foxborough. Healthy, I still think he's better than Eli.

Eli is going to be throwing all game considering the top 2 RBs are out this week. But that's besides the point. If you dropped Jimmy (a) no one would pick him up and (b) you would have another healthy backup RB or WR.

I don't need another healthy backup WR. I'm stacked at WR and actively trying to unload Dez. And have you seen the RBs available? If there was anyone tempting I would have gotten on that.

You know I won this league two years ago, right?

I'm glad you didn't act on my post about taking Dez. I would've done it until the broken leg news.

Keep doing what you're doing. I'm sure it will work out.

Damn I got fleeced in that AJ Green trade

Cincinnati's run game is much more broken than I could have hoped, at least for AJ Green fantasy purposes.

Good lookin' on that trade GK haha

I would get:
Aaron Rodgers, Tyler Eifert, and DeAndre Washington
I would give:
ODB, Matt Jones, Kyle Rudolph

My Team:
QB: Dalton
RB: DeMarco Murrary, TJ Yeldon, Chris Ivory, and Jay Ajayi
WR: Kelvin Benjamin, Will Fuller, Sammy Watkins, and Tyler Boyd

Thoughts?

I agree. QB's are overrated in fantasty football.

Eifert is injured and no way in hell he matches 13 TD's again. Who the f$$k is DeAndre Washington? (I'm being facetious, but you get my point)


ODB is better than all three of those guys you are getting.

I fact, I can't believe you are even considering this.

Yeah. The trade he sent was even worse. I was looking for a way to get Rodgers if he is offering him. Need to move on

Are you guys SURE that Latavius Murray and Matthew Stafford for Eddie Lacy is a good trade?

I'm nervous about Murray's workload, as he's in a semi-committee. He's gotten goalline work thus far, but that's not a guarantee. I'm terrified that I'll let go of Lacy, and Lacy will continue to get his 20 carries per game.

ehhh...I have Lacy in another league and he hasn't been worth shit



Also, I just got Jordan Matthews and Theo Riddick for Jamal Charles.

I'm not sold on Charles, this year, so I flipped him for 2 players.

I assume the person on the other end of that trade is like 12. Charles has yet to play and it's been put out there that he's not gonna be the man when he comes back.
