Additionally Kenneth Walker singlehandedly helped me to high points. Tons of talent on the waiver right now. https://www.si.com/fantasy/2023/01/17/waiver-wire-year-review-2022-league-winners There will be guys…not sure that list was reflective of our league (12 team)…but if you identify someone you need to be agressive to go get them…and wire priority is huge. Of course you need to also not drop the league winner while trying to pick up the next one you think will help you as well. Don’t know how many times that’s happened to me. One week I think I’m getting the next big thing and two weeks later the guy I drop is the hot commodity because of change in circumstance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted August 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 Fantasy Football question of the day: It's the Monday night game on the week of your Fantasy League championship. You are in the championship round of the fantasy league. Your favorite team NFL team is playing. As fate would have it, the RB on the team opposing your favorite team is on your fantasy team. 3 seconds left in game. Your favorite team is currently winning by 5 points, but the opponent has the ball 4th and goal on the 2 yard line. They run the ball with your Fantasy RB and score the winning TD. But, wait, there is a flag on the play! If the TD stands, you win your fantasy league, but your favorite team loses. While waiting for the call, is your brain hoping the flag is on the offense so your favorite team wins? Or, are you hoping it's on the defense so you win your fantasy league championship? No hedging.

I will always prefer a Colts win to a fantasy win. However, if we’re talking about a championship and the Colts are out of playoff contention, I’ll take the W. Im sure that’s the type of hedging you were thinking of, but in my mind it’s two distinctly different situations.

There was a move I thought about making for waiver tomorrow but to keep in line with board rules and stuff I won't say it. Quick follow up @5fouls considering your move today. Murray was the guy I was referencing on Monday when I asked the above. Only reason I didn't do it is I want to keep P1 on waiver wire but I'd strongly suggest to others for other leagues to get him and put him on Pup list. Easy stash.

Given how many injuries I typically have..I’m pretty sure my IR will be full most the season.

I've done a draft in only one other league so far but in that league adding PUP guys don't make you go to the end of the line on waiver wire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been thinking about him as well. What I wasnt sure about was whether there were waivers this week. Would not have used a waiver claim on him, but he was showing as a free agent today. My hope is he stays out until a couple of weeks before Mahomes bye so I dont have to drop anyone until I see how things are playing out with my bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how things play out but with smaller benches the waiver wire will be busy. Just trying to see how long I can hold onto 1st selection. I see a few guys in there right now I like but not ready to bite yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted August 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Small request for all players. If you are offered a trade and you decide to Reject it, provide an explanation as to why in the space provided on Yahoo. This can help the requestor plan for a more suitable offer in future trade requests, and will provide some insight for those that may be newer players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) I will entertain trades during the season. If I remember correctly me and @dgambillhad a pretty good mutually beneficial trade last year that helped me get in the playoffs.

If I respond by saying 'I'm not trading Kelce regardless of the offer', it prevents you coming back tomorrow with a different package. As another example, say you offer me Pacheco straight up for Antonio Gibson. I could simply click 'Reject' and be done with it. However, it''s not that I wouldn't trade Gibson. It's because I already have Mahomes and Kelce and don't want any more Chiefs. If I just click the 'Reject' button, you don't know that and may include Pacheco in another trade offer. If I provide the reason, you know that and won't offer Pacheco to me any more. Another thing I like to tell people is that I don't like 3 for 2 or 4 for 3 type deals. However, I will consider 2 for 1 if it involves a star player. But, usually the best deals involve an equal number of players from each team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like 2-1 deals a lot…both ways. Sometimes I’ll trade my star and sometimes I’ll trade for a star…but that’s my favorite deal. I don’t generally want to swap teams with people and I can’t start my whole team so why do I need a bunch of avg guys for my star. But like I said. I’m struggling and I want to at least make the playoffs then I may move off a star to get two starters or maybe I think I have a shot at it all…I’ll move depth for a star. 1-1 or 2-1…anything more and well you are probably wasting time.

Last couple I was a Sutton guy…more so because of TD/red zone targets…but with how Russ loved to use Lockett I felt he would be more comfortable with the underneath stuff…then with Payton this year and the short passing game I really thought Jeudy would take off. Go figure! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
