Fml.. hearing word that Will Fullers absence might be him retiring. Only I would draft a player who decides to retire in week 2.
Did some digging, twitter diving, and figured I'd share my thoughts on the Will Fuller situation, and maybe it can help someone.
The short of it seems like he might not play a single snap for Miami. This absence is more than just some small personal issue or death in the family. Seems mental and/or surrounding his PED use. Both coach, and some insiders feel this issue is big.
IF you have Will Fuller: Try and trade him or drop him for someone you need. You could hold Fuller for a bit also and give it some time.
If you DON'T have Will Fuller: Don't accept a trade for him, and maybe grab Devonte Parker as he'll be the recipient of Fuller's absence.
I'm likely going to drop him before Sunday, and grab either Parker or Arizona D.. unless I hear that this is a small issue. Hope this helps.

Good luck today, everyone.
I want to start Tyler Boyd over Carson in my flex -- Chicago doesn't have a good slot defender -- but I don't have the guts.

Starting Tee. Also giving Claypool the nod as a flex with so many tough matchups for my RB's.
Yes I'm in Fuller hell sorta. But I drafted him in the 9th round also.

Kamara and Kittle giving me nothing so far. I think for next year, if I don't get Kelce or a TE that's very good WITH a proven QB.. then I'm putning that position to the end and just streaming it all season.
I know Kittle is considered top4. He did have 9 fantasy points for me last week.. but these guys just have too wonky game scripts. I'd almost rather have that RB3/WR3 or an elite defense, than getting that TE4 and after.

If Tua is injured badly, I'll be dropping Fuller ASAP. Too many things slaready stacked against him, and add in not having a quality QB for a while.
A guy with the name "Cooper kupp" is shredding me today. Pretty sure that's the name of a mascot for a coffee company.
Don't think I can make it out of this week.

The problem with Kittle is that I drafted him to my team. Sorry ‘bout that.
Anyone have any thoughts on a Najee, Godwin, L Thomas for J Jacobs, K Allen or D Moore, J Cook trade?
Don't own any of them.. But the person getting 4 guys (and sending 3) means he has to drop someone. So you might as well look at it this way, if you're the guy sending Najee and company, keep in mind you need to drop someone else. Can you part ways with someone? This is why I don't love uneven trades.. hard to satisfy both parties.
Down to the trade.. idk. I'd prefer to have the 2nd grouping. It's 4 draft-worthy players instead of 3. Godwin is always going to be fighting for touches with the rest of the Bucs pass catchers, Najee Harris while impressive, is still a rookie, and who knows how he fares over the entire year. I also think Moore is going to be just fine with Darnold.
I think the finalization of the trade is going to be Najee, Godwin, L Thomas for Jacobs, D Moore, and J Cook. The Allen and Moore was a choice as to which would be included. So it's going to be a 3 for 3 trade. I was thinking I would be upgrading rb and te, but definitely losing the wr portion. Seems like rbs and tes are more at a premium this year so that's why I was looking at the trade.
That's a littler bit better. Tight End is just so tough to call. It's such a game-script dependent position. Unless you have Kelce, every tight end appears to be boom or bust. I mean, George Kittle is seen as a sure-fire top3/top4 TE.. and he hasn't done anything yet.
But yes, RBs and TEs have a huge drop off, where as Wideouts can be had pretty far down the list.
Go grab Rondale Moore at WR, if he's available. I scooped him up, and sure enough he gets 114 yards and a TD. Michael Carter for my Jets, might actually be worth grabbing. There's some promise that he's quickly becoming the lead back, he looks at least decent, and he did it against two of the better defenses so far. It's a bit of a longshot.. but if the Jets trust this guy, he becomes a top20-15 RB by season end.
Yeah I wish I had scooped up Hockenson in the draft. Dude has gone bonkers so far. I picked up Moore last week and that seems to have been a great decision. Seems like he could be a ROY type candidate. I'll have to go check out Carter.
Interesting note on Carter: The Panthers DID just hold Alvin Kamara to 5 yards. It seems that Michael Carter and the Jets maybe have faced two elite defenses.. possibly even two top5 run defenses.. before Week 3. This bodes well for Carter going forward, to still rush for around 4.5 YPC.
Running backs will get injured as the season goes on, we've actually been pretty fortunate that there haven't been too many big injuries yet. So you need to have a few stashed, IMO. Outside of Carter, maybe Ty'Son Williams.
The other RB I make take a flier on is T Pollard. Looked damn good in the Cowboys last game and they seem to like him in space opportunities. He'll always be 2nd fiddle to zeke, but if zeke were to be out for any reason pollard would be a good back to have. I also have Javonte Williams on my bench in case he becomes rb1 in Denver. Seems like he has the talent to do so but who knows.
I would, he got scooped up on waivers this morning. I'm not a huge Zeke fan, I think he surged because the Cowboys had a fantastic Oline for years, but Dallas fans might have something to say.
All you can do is stash some of these RBs in hopes they become starters by seasons' end.
Yeah I've never been a huge Zeke guy either. Super talented but never cared for him that much. Maybe it's because he played at OSU lol that's pretty much what my bench consists of are the what if guys that could blossom into starters putting up good points by the end of the year. At receiver I have R Moore and Will Fuller, and at RB I have Javonte Williams and Pollard. If 1 or 2 of them could boom by the end of the year that would be awesome. After the trade I did today I'll also have Golladay in case he becomes the go to guy in NY. Seems like Shepherd has that locked up at the moment though.
I’m a Cowboys fan but Zeke is always a no go on my ffb team. Scooped up the Panthers D for tonight. Didn’t want to use the Rams this week. Hope I get a few extra points out of them.
McCaffrey down with a hammy injury.. that just ruined a lot of people's fantasy teams. That's why that #1 pick is iffy.. if said player goes down, your next best player might be the 20th to 24th best guy.
Will Fuller might be useless if Tua is out for a while.
Pollard seems to be getting more and more play. Even with a healthy Zeke, it's almost becoming a running back by committee.
Yeah I've had 2 numbers 1 picks go down and it's crippling. 1 year was David Johnson and Saquan.
Yeah he probably will be but when he's doing well he's a heck of a receiver. Or at least ped Fuller was good. Who knows now though, just figured it was worth a late pick. Yeah Pollard looked awesome last week.
Yep, that's why I grabbed Fuller as well. He was a beast last year up until his suspension and idk if PEDS did much more than help with recovery. I dont think they made him a better receiver.
Nice to see Darnold play well now that he has some talent around him. Wish we kept him.
Probably some truth to that. Miami doesn't seem to have any one proven guy, so maybe he comes in and kills it. Guess we will know in a couple weeks whether he was worth the late draft pick or not. After the first 9 or 10 picks you're just looking for potential studs anyways. Why not draft a guy that's already shown flashes of what he can be? Darnold is looking awesome for the panthers. Made some great throws tonight.
Awful awful day.. Slated to get 125 points and I'll struggle to reach 90. I'm 5 points down and there's just one player left between us: George Kittle.. And I feel like he's gonna put up another dud.
My bench is very weak.. two weeks in a row now that not one player scored more than 3-4 points. That's gonna bite me soon.

As we discussed our snake bitteness before the season…..
I have Russell Wilson, Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle, and OBJ. Also have Kamara who is currently outside the top 10 backs.
Kittle, Julio Jones, Henderson, Fuller, Carson, Antonio Brown.. have all missed at least one game before week 5 is done.. and my top two picks, Hopkins and Kamara, are probably two of the bigger early-season busts. IDK how I'm 2-2.
Somehow my team went Bananas yesterday, posting the highest score of the season so far, despite 3 starters being out. Brady, Brown, kamara, Hopkins, Henderson, Chubba.. and my big add of the week, Dawson freaking Knox.. more Tuddys than any other Tightend so far..
Not a lot intrigues me on the waiver wire this week.. but some interesting defense plays coming up.
For starters, hopefully you grabbed the Colts for their matchup with Houston this week (this may backfire after Houston did well against NE). Then, with many people dropping New England defense.. they do play the Jets the following week, so maybe stash them. Finally, if by chance someone dropped LAR defense.. they have the Giants (injuries galore), Detroit, Houston and Tennssee... all in a row.
Idk if it's lack of injuries or what, but there's just not a lot of waiver pickups that are worth while.. I think you have to grab a 2nd defense, but looking a few weeks ahead towards ideal matchups. Oddly enough, seems to be the best way to gain some separation, week by week.

Solid. He's killing me tonight. Playing the best team, and that's his Flex LOL.
I have Mike Evans. The person I’m playing put Fournette into their lineup 2 minutes before kickoff. A nice 26 point differential swing. Meanwhile, Kyler Murray went from MVP candidate to banged up throwing shoulder. Kittle in IR and has done nothing. Sequon hurt again.
How this shit happens to me every f’ing year for almost 20 years with a new cast of characters each time is something I can’t pretend to comprehend. I am the Detroit Lions of fantasy football, I guess.

Lost by 0.1
I had Kamara, he had New Orleans Defense. I was up by like 1.9, Seattle gets the ball back.. Geno sacked twice. Game over.
.. and I'm a Jets fan who of course knows all about Geno. I legit said "I know Geno is going to **** this for me".. Awful.

I do still think it was Bill B.. yes. And while you might think that's outlandish of me to say, realize that the country is pretty split on this sentiment. Brady won the first few rounds after their split, for sure. But it was Bill B who was left to pick up the pieces, while Brady ran off to the best team in the NFL that just needed a QB (I believe Tampa had one of the best non-QB/21-man rosters in the league before Brady got there.). And don't look now.. but Mac Jones is on track for a 4,000/20 season, with a 70% completion rate... as a rookie.. with basically the same level of team that Brady had.. Maybe Bill just needs a year or two to rebuild.
If Brady went to a bottom half team, would he even still be playing? I would imagine the Pats get up to speed faster than we think, while Brady's window with these Bucs is closing, probably only another year or two (they won't be returning all 22 starters again), at which point Brady will probably retire.
Most accomplished QB, yeah, that's indisputable. But I would have liked to see someone we consider the GOAT to actually take on a challenge and not just go right for the team with the best SB prospect over the next 2-3 years. And I also don't know why Brady gets a pass for super-team building, where guys in the NBA don't.. but w/e.
As for QBs right now that are better (or you can make the case could be better): Allen, Mahomes, Kyler, Russ, Stafford, Rodgers, Dak, Watson, Lamar.. I probably take Brady around 4th or 5th here, if you give all of these guys the exact same team. I also don't think it's wrong if someone puts Brady #1. But personally, the things I value in a QB, I have a few guys higher than him.
Currently in 3rd. just made a trade that either takes me to the top or kills the season.. traded Dalvin and Gesicki for Kelce and Gaskin. Ppr league. I also have David Montgomery on the bench coming off IR. Dalvin has been a disappointment so far this season to me.
Sounds like you might've made out pretty well, all things considered.

Yeah, that's gonna be interesting. Although, not sure it will matter for this year.
I'm still barely holding on to my roster. 5 weeks in a row I have just enough players to start.. Carson, Kittle, Julio, AB.. all missing multiple games.
Also, how TF am I playing McCaffrey twice, when some teams won't play him all year? Dude will have played 5 games, two of which against me. Go figure.
