Justin Herbert was the play in the middle rounds. People forget that last time he was healthy he finished QB2 overall. So he gets a recovered ribcage, healthy Keenan Allen, and an OC upgrade but still was going in the middle rounds after Lamar, Burrow, and sometimes Lawrence.

Pretty sure Herbert is QB1 overall in PPG thus far. I have him on both of my teams. Though I would have loved it if he didn’t throw that stupid pick last night. 

Scooped him in my dynasty startup this season very happy with the results.

So, I have them both.  Which to start with McCaffrey hurt.

CMC might still play Monday!  But if your options are Ford or Hunt I still choose Ford at the moment.  

Hunt is still a good piece to have for rest-of-year purposes.  Might eventually supplant Ford but not yet.

Roster update! 

Didn't end up trading Jefferson after all.  Someone cut Michael Thomas this week so I scooped him up (dropped Gainwell to make room).  Don't particularly like Thomas but his floor has been decent this year and beggars can't be choosers at WR when it comes to Jefferson owners....

Also was able to add Rashee Rice and Josh Downs a couple weeks prior so for now I think I will stand pat on trades.

 

Current Roster (10-team league, 0.5 PPR, Re-Draft + 1 player kept):

Player Pos Team Round Pick
Justin Jefferson WR MIN 1 1
Mark Andrews TE BAL 2 20
Chris Olave WR NO 3 21
Rhamondre Stevenson RB NE 4 40
Lamar Jackson QB BAL 5 41
D'Andre Swift RB PHI 8 80
Jahan Dotson WR WSH 9 81
Gabe Davis WR BUF 10 100
Justin Tucker K BAL 15 141
Kyren Williams RB LAR FA FA
Kareem Hunt RB CLE FA FA
Michael Thomas WR NO FA FA
Jerick McKinnon RB KC FA FA
Jordan Mason RB SF FA FA
Josh Downs WR IND FA FA
Rashee Rice WR KC FA FA
Buccaneers D/ST D/ST TB FA FA

 

  • QB:  Lamar Jackson
  • RB:  Swift, Stevenson, Kyren Williams, Hunt, McKinnon, Jordan Mason
  • WR:  Jefferson (IR spot), Olave, Michael Thomas, Gabe Davis, Rashee Rice, Dotson, Josh Downs
  • TE:  Andrews
  • D/ST:  Bucs
  • K:  Tucker

 

My current best FA's available:

 

Rank Player Position Team
1 Brandin Cooks WR DAL
2 Kenneth Gainwell RB PHI
3 Wan'Dale Robinson WR NYG
4 Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR SEA
5 Antonio Gibson RB WSH
6 CJ Stroud QB HOU
7 Ezekiel Elliott RB NE
8 Justice Hill RB BAL
9 Keaontay Ingram RB AZ
10 D'Onta Foreman RB CHI
11 Kendre Miller RB NO
12 Latavius Murray RB BUF
13 Keaton Mitchell RB BAL
14 Tyler Boyd WR CIN
15 Michael Wilson WR AZ
16 Rondale Moore WR AZ

Riding out my redraft team thinking in the long run things will correct ROS... 2-4 is no fun though.

My dynasty pass catchers are stressing me out in my longest running Dynasty league.

I have a team with Burks, Jamo, Dotson, GWill, JSN, Nico, Hollywood, Alec Pierce, Marvin Mims couple other Jags... wnet intk the season feeling stacked for the future... but um UNCERTAINTY... I don't even know whats going in right now, but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!!!

Dotson what happened

Burks why God

GWill meet Zach Wilson

Jamo.... year 2 very derailed ..

Alec Pierce hit all the main rookie metrics last year ... to end up DOA this year

Hollywood being good again is nice.

As a Nico Truther for years happy for him

But i wasnt expecting his breakout to be marred by every one of my sophmore recievers dying on the vine...

TEs Pitts, Friermuth, Chig... all struggling

Dotson is just getting cardio out there.  ~ 90 % route participation with hardly any targets.  Insanity.  But still willing to give him time.

Hopkins happened to Burks but he's done himself no favors, either.  That one is weird too.

I wasn't that impressed with Alec Pierce last year so his stumble made sense to me.

TE dead zone is very real.  I'm only ever going to take an elite one or wait until about the last round/stream.  Investing a mid-round pick on a TE is never a good idea.  I faded the sh*t out of Freiermuth.  Pitts is showing signs of life but given run blocking was his primary duty last season it's no shock he's still not coming close to hitting his ceiling or even his rookie year productivity.

I dropped Dotson.  10 team league and I have Lockett riding the pine until this week when Lamb is on the bye.  My problem is at QB.  I took Fields because running and figured I would burn a spot on Russell because Payton generally puts up yards/points.  Well they both blow donkeys and now Fields is hurt.  Not sure what I am going to do.

Cut Russ, for starters.

Any teams with an extra QB to trade for?  10-team league there should always be somebody you can get on the cheap.

If not what does your FA QB list look like?  There are quite a few QBs with soft schedules coming up.

QBs I like going forward who may be available/trade targets:   Goff, Stroud, Love, Howell, Carr, Bryce Young.  Minshew has a tough upcoming schedule (CLE, NO, @ CAR) but afterwards it softens up.

Could even go big game hunting for Mahomes.  Has struggled to date but has very good matchups coming up (LAC, @ DEN, MIA).  Plus things are starting to crystalize more with his WR group (Rice emerging, got Mecole back).

Other "big game" options:  Hurts, coming off the awful Jets performance, has MIA and WSH up next.  Lamar has DET, AZ, SEA.

your time has come

unrelated - if Tyjae Spears is available in your league he's a high end stash. A lot of King Henry trade rumors floating around.

Trey McBride might be a nice TE pickup. Cards finally gave him more snaps than Ertz last week and he produced.

@Barry McCockinner just made a shot in the dark offer, don't expect him to accept:

I receive:

  • AJ Brown
  • Spears

I give up:

  • Jefferson
  • Kyren Williams
  • Gabe Davis

 

He's a Rams fan so I wanted to ensure I got Kyren in that offer somehow to try to entice him....

Feels like an easy decline for the other guy. AJ is producing almost Jefferson-like numbers and is healthy. You’re sending two injured players and a boom/bust WR2. But hey, nothing to lose by offering.

I just offered Josh Jacobs and my 2025 1st for Puka Nacua and a 2024 3rd. Was declined.

Lol in my one league I traded Puka away after week 1 for the projected 2.01. 

I only did that after securing Puka in my other dynasty league for a mid 3rd and some sprinkles 😜.

Traded Mcbride,Palmer, and Spiller for Hollywood last year  😜

I do like me some Mcbride though.

I like the Hollywood side here fairly easily. McBride and Spiller are zeros. And Palmer is only relevant because of Mike Williams going down. He’s back to depth JAG next year IMO.
 

I sent Jonathan Mingo and a 2025 2nd for Hollywood a week before the season started. Love having him as my WR3. One of the most underrated players in dynasty. 
 

 

edit: just saw McBride had a good week. Maybe he’s turning the corner. Still like the Hollywood side.

Dude you got boatraced. Damn 

 

Rofl yeah I really got boat raced turning my rookie 23 4.09 pick into the 24 2.01 after a hot week 1 performance.

Did you miss the part where I bought him for a third and some roster clog In a separate league before accepting the then overpay of projected 2.01

If you get offered a high 2nd for a 5th round rookie you took in the late 4th round you take it every single time.

It's not everyday you get to turn the 4.09 into the 2.01

Offering a first plus Jacobs for Nacua is trash process  you should thank your idiot leaguemate for declining and enjoy having Jacobs plus  Emeka Egbuka, Rome Odunze, Xavier Worthy or Malik Nabers with that first you tried to gift them.

I’m gonna make an analogy. You bought a lottery ticket (Puka) for $5. That lottery ticket yielded $10,000 when you had an opportunity to hold onto it and make $1,000,000. So yeah, you came out ahead but sold it off way too early. Puka could be a ten year stud. Pick 2.01 is pretty much a high end dart throw. You’re ELATED if that draft pick does anything close to what Puka has done during his historic start.

To run with your silly analogy its like I bought a lottery ticket for $5 sold for $10K while simultaneously buying another winners ticket for $1K (3rd rounder plus Campbell and Mitchell) elsewhere and rode it to your million dollar Puka valuation.

 

So I'm up $1,008,995 by your math.

Do you own Puka anywhere or are you just broke and telling me about my money?

 

Obviously I like Puka alot hence also buying him in another league while the window was open. I wasn't selling until I knew I still had him secured.

Unlike some I'm not eating his ass and anointing him WR1 for all time and trading 3 firsts for him. The kid is an unremarkable athlete  who is showing the chops to become an elite route runner, could be great ...could be a middling asset.

The hype from some of you is f*cking ridiculous and thats coming from someone who liked him 8 months ago as a mid round dynasty prospect, who still owns him. But yeah sell the farm for him, sure, why not.

 

Do I get "Gee Lurker good job buying Puka after week 1 for a mid third and a bag of trash".... no no no I get "Can't believe you sold after week 1 for a high second, lololol" from a bunch of Jamokes who didnt have a Puka to sell or manage to buy one at a reasonable cost. I managed to do both and everyone else can go **** themselves.😂

Uggghh dont be like that.... pick up your sword and spar.... 

Do you own any shares of Puka?

or are you just trying to grossly overpay for his services while you convince yourself he actually is Cooper Kupp but 22 years old?

What exactly do we disagree about?

I like Puka have him in one league sold him in another.
