For real this is the week. Well....I don't want to be the reason you start him....but numbers say at least for this week he should be starting....and that's all you can do is go by logic. I can't imagine having such riches sitting on my bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I defend Henry quite well. Faced him in Week 1 in Kevs league and last week in KDBs league. You should take note that those are, by far, his two worst weeks of the season. So, if the trade goes through, you might as well not even bother playing him this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allow league to vote and have title game be in week 17 where teams could sit players....or do it as is and plan accordingly? I'm a firm believer in the rules have been set. Deal with the consequences. I agree, once the rules are set that is it. Everyone agreed to play by the same rules at the beginning, so like you said deal with the consequences. 👍 If people want the rules changed half way through the season they need to see if Kevin Warren has a fantasy league. They would only have to look for a league called, Steaming Pile of B1G Crap. 😀 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 18 weeks regardless...besides with the extra week it would suck if you start it earlier and they are still doing bye weeks during the playoffs....that wouldn't be fair. Oh I see where they want to push it back. Yeah it should have been pushed back to begin with...thought someone wanted to move it up. Gotta leave it at this point. Heck when I make trades I look at the players playoff schedule. I might take a lesser talent who has a good playoff matchup over a better player. Too late now I suppose....but who would trade for his guys....just bad league management from the beginning....totally avoidable.

Yeah, I can't believe Denver continues to split carries almost exactly 50/50 with Gordon still. Jobs are on the line and I'm not sure why they don't get the ball in one of their better players hands more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javonte has more broken tackles and more YAC then Gordon...and just basically has more juice in his running...and yet they continue almost a 50/50 split. Maybe they think going with the veteran who is getting paid 8 million a year is the best way to keep them in a job but I think they are missing out on some productivity. I would be surprised if they don't shift the carries a little more heavily in Javonte's favor as they fall out of contention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a steep price to pay for Henry but I was deep at WR... no longer now. Gotta hope health works out down the stretch as now my bench is pretty thin. I think it helps Indy too because they are a big upgrade at wr if those guys keep up their form. He has a good roster with those additions.

You certainly are paying a price for Henry...but that's what people have to do to get the top player at a position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have liked to kept my depth a couple more weeks but I'm hoping being 6-1 will give me a big enough cushion to make the playoffs. If people get healthy by that point I should be able to pair up Henry and McCaffrey and if Wilson get's healthy that hopefully will make DK back to WR1 status. I figure championships are won by the bold...so I went for it. Nobody got robbed...so just have to wait and see. Buckner could take Henry's knees out this week like @btownqb said and I could be left crying lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only gone over 65 yards 3x this year but I guess the TD's make up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
