I was a bit surprised the Cowboys decided to trade Lee. He's been awesome for them. I would have kept him.

Hopefully the Redskins realize the same thing and Franchise him and trade him like you did. Very smart.

The Redskins would be fools if they don't sign him to a deal. Something that can't be done in this game. 

With the19th pick I select 

the Dallas Cowboys

I will take slot 30

We need to make this ATS

Well, so far with the first game, Miller was huge in a feature role and Jay was a healthy scratch that didn't even travel.

Well in hindsight looks like I was right on both players. Miller should be a 1B and Ajayi is a workhorse feature back. Although I thought he would do more as a receiver. 

Can't believe I didn't get my lineup set and still one. Thanks ODB. I agree with a lot of Andrews comments that the format is not why these people aren't playing. There's no money involved. I like that it's in depth and takes some thought. I don't do very much season long anymore. I'm all for reducing the team count. It's at 16 because 16 signed up year one. I'm fine with moving to another site for next year if we can save the rosters and most of the settings. If someone wants to help expedite that that would be awesome. 

Any other thoughts on the league as a whole?

Dang. If I didn't leave J. James on the bench, I would have won vs @ravensdan

Optimum lineups you would have won by .6. I'll take some luck. Ouch obj!

what do y'all think I should do with deangelo Williams do you think he will still be a good fantasy player or should I try and trade him away 

Can't play him but you have to keep him. #1 backup in the league. And Bell has missed time to injury often.

@ravensdan don't care for you too much right now. You took Orleans Darkwa!

Send me an offer?

I'm thinking of packaging Stefon diggs and Tevin Coleman for Brandon Marshall. Fair trade?

PPR league

my roster now is :

wr: Odell, Amari, diggs, dorsett

rb: demarco Murray, Jamaal Charles, Tevin Coleman, Kenneth Dixon 

I would not make that trade. You have a stud on your hands with Diggs. He has been and will be more consistent than Marshal this year. That's a huge risk thinning out that RB group more. Why so shallow?  Are you carrying multiple QBs or Ds?  That is a short bench.

Got a couple powerhouse matchups coming this week as @allblackraven takes on @ravensdan while @gabefergy takes on @Inqui

Should be a good match. I have s good feeling about Dalton this week.

I took Allen Robinson today. Dude is totally letting me down. Not a single catch

I know!  I had Robinson in almost every lineup. What a let down.

Full PPR league, need help picking my RB. I have 3 options:

fantasypros favorite: Jonathan Stewart home vs 49ers

Justin forsett @ Browns 

tevin Coleman @ raiders

 

i don't know why, but I'm feeling forsett more than Stewart. Maybe my heart is talking louder, maybe because it's PPR and Ravens are going to be highly motivated. 

Or should I just ride Jonathan Stewart who offers no PPR but knowing panthers going to take a big lead and just run the game out. 

I like Forsett. Only west active. He'll get plenty of touched against the worst D in the NFL.

I'm still struggling with my WR position. Lol

pick two! Would like a couple of opinions.

Alshon v Philly, Snead @ Giants, Shepard v Saints, Fuller v Chiefs

i just think that Saints/Giants game might be a shoot out. 

Alshon looks good. He's always got a huge target share. 

Snead. Giants are vulnerable in the middle of the field as shown by Beasley. Can you play one of the others in the flex?

I might just ride or die with Joe Flacco. Or streamline QBs. 

Stream QB is always the best strategy. Joe a great play today. 

I have Eli for some cash and bortles in some tournaments. I have Simien in tournament too. Cheap in a game I expect to go over the total. Stack with Virgil green to fit in 3 studs at WR. 

Others I like are Carr and Flacco. 

Willie Snead week 1 mvp!

I honestly don't understand all the "run the ball more" talk, especially up the middle the run game was god awful... I think it would be easier for Marc to run the ball more if we could execute it better..

I agree. I don't want to see that at all. It doesn't fit this team. It's not the offense. It's not going to be. That's a good thing. I suspect the team will be near the top in pass attempts. I would like to see Allen the best recieving back in there.

Here is my team in a 12 man league on ESPN

QB - Eli Manning, Joe Flacco

RB - Lamar Miller, Chris Ivory, Spencer Ware, Bilal Powell, Terrance West

WR - Julio Jones, Mike Evans, T.Y. Hilton, Steve Smith Sr., Keenan Allen

TE - Julius Thomas, Jared Cook

D/ST - Ravens

K - Cairo Santos

 

I knew immediately during the draft that I waited too long on my defense so I am praying the purple kool-aid pulls through and gives me decent fantasy points with the 30+ year old veterans on defense. I think my draft was pretty solid I got pretty good receivers. I am also worried about Julius Thomas being consistent but I do like my sleeper pick in Jared Cook. Packers say he is getting the nod over Rodgers and he is a huge receiving threat in the redzone in a high passing offense.

The Titans and eagles have good match ups week 1 if their available. But I kind of like the Ravens at home this week to cause some turnovers.

@ravensdan I wanted to get your thoughts since I know these were two players we took: Lamar Miller and Jay Ajayi.

Jay Ajayi has looked straight awful in the preseason, dropping easy passes and almost causing an interception on one throw (defender was out of bounds). As a runner, he has been nothing short of just bad, averaging out a whopping 2.7 YPC. He's also now the second string back behind Arian Foster, who wasn't even signed until mid July due to age and injury concerns. 

Meanwhile down there in Houston, Miller has drawn rave reviews by all the beat writers (not the website writers) and executives and scouts around the league are calling for him to have a breakout for the ages. Apparently he just looks like he's being shot out of a cannon.

Think you were wrong about those two?

Let's let the season play out. I think it's more likely I was wrong about jay than I will be about Lamar.

Willie Snead or Jordy Nelson? Nelson is working his way back in and Brees might be in a shoot out with Carr this week.

Have to go Jordy. His floor and ceiling is way higher than Snead unless you have a way to start both.

What do y'all think I got offered a trade 

I get: Jeremy Langford 

he gets: Demarco Murray 

Idk what to do Jeremy Langford didn't have the best rookie season last year nd Chicago's o-line is bad

and Murray has looked good throughout preseason but so has Henry so idk who will be getting the majority of the carries 

I would keep Murray. His style was made for that offense. Also he's trying to lowball you see what else he will give with Langford. 

No one wants to hear this but Allen is the most valuable. He had the pass catching role. That's more valuable than the early down back weather that's Forsett and or wests role. Allen has a late adp to go along with it.
