the saints and pelicans have the same medical staff and both teams have been suffering historic injuries. almost have to wonder if we need new medical people

some guy in my league dropped Winston to pick up Siemian. Really dumb. especially considering that you don't lose points for interceptions and the bucs play the Saints 2 out of 3 weeks during the playoffs.

Playing against AJ Green of course. dude has 20 pts in the first quarter


Thursday night games are terrible for fantasy football. each week I've lost my game Thursday night and it takes all excitement out of Sunday. I either start a guy that does nothing or play against a guy that goes off.

two weeks ago went against forte who had 3 TDs
last week started edelmen who did nothing
this week playing against AJ Green

He must be worried the Saints defense is going to be healthy by then. Doesn't want to get a -6.7 out of QB like people who started Manning vs KC last year.

Cruise did you do that Watkins deal? He seems fucked.

nah, I'm not giving up Leveon Bell and would have had to in that deal

I'm really deep at wr so it's not the end of the world about watkins. but it does render tyrod useless now.

will be back week 12 supposedly. they have a cake schedule for the fantasy playoff weeks 14-16 so there's still a chance he contributes.


the real bitch of this is that it could have been avoided. No way in hell he should have played in that Thursday game on short rest. should have been put on the shelf for 2-3 weeks and could have came back at full strength. Rex Ryan is an idiot.

How do you know he re-injured it so badly and that is the reason he is on IR?

He was probably looking at a multi-month absence either way.

I think L Murray is somewhat dead. Which I said would happen in this thread a few weeks ago.

His snap count was 42% last week, keeps diminishing. Someone you would only want to use on bye weeks at this point.

Elliott is better than Cooper for non-PPR though. Even though I still think Cooper is a top 5-6 WR the rest of the way.

Make sure you get Al Morris.

Oh, that's a worse deal then obviously. He has been playing pretty well.

Henry is gonna keep playing but that is still a lot to give up for Elliott.

I dunno, probably depends on team construction. I think Murray probably fades eventually but the season is only so long and he is crushing it right now.

Not crazy about the deal then really.

You may have sold high on Murray but low on Cooper.

Yeah I'm really high on Pryor too for leagues like that. Who knows what they do the rest of the year, he might be #1 WR/red zone QB/few designed run plays per game. He could underwhelm because their offense is so bad but my guess is in a standard league that he is really good value the rest of the year. McCown might even get back in a few weeks which would be a big boost to their offense.

I'd cut Cruz for a handcuff/lottery ticket RB and I have no clue who D Johnson is. I'd imagine not David.

I would've actually given up Cooks over Cooper if possible but I'm guessing you probably don't see things that way.

I hope chops right about zeke but I actually haven't been happy with how the Cowboys are using him. he was advertised as a 3 down Bell cow but he's losing goal line carries and is doing nothing as a receiver.
