IDP help

[Yellow Fuzzies]

don't drop Leonard. If you want to add another linebacker I would drop someone else like one of your tight ends.
Leonard is top two linebacker. If you have soured on him I suspect you could trade for a good option within the league- but I wouldn't.

I see no value in keeping a LB on the bench. If he were putting up J.J. Watt fantasy numbers in his heyday - perhaps. But LB are like TE and K. You can always find 1.

I guess in redrafts you may have a point, I've never had a redraft league that included IDP though so not sure. In dynasty I'd have to disagree with that point.

My apologies. I didnt know this was dynasty. (Yes, my IDP league is a redraft.)

Still need to weight all the factors. Is a top LB raking in more than 10 fantasy points per week? If not, that is still a hard sell to hang onto a guy who might get you single digits most weeks.

nope, this one is redraft and you captured my thought process better than I did - none of the LBs are scoring more than 10-12pts unless they go bonkers, I'm just looking for one of those 10-12pt guys, cause Leonard was pretty automatic last year

I believe it's a redraft league and only has only 5 man bench so stashing a IDP would be hard, but he does have a TE on his bench that could be replaced although I think now that I won't hold on to Leonard. IDP in redraft with only a 5 slots for a bench sounds really tough.

He will never use L. Murray with his crop of RB's unless the sky falls and cat's and dog's start dating - - then it won't matter. ... perhaps trade him to the Williams owner if he has a guy you like

Thats the other thing with IDP. They are like NHL goalies. Stand on your head 1 season. Bupkis the next.

We don't agree on this. I have won leagues with my IDPs. A LB on the bench is normal for my teams.

ok, so I shifted all of my IDP roster spots possible into DeVondre Campbell and Kenny Young over the last 2 weeks, including dropping Leonard for Young in the league on this thread where we only start 1 LB. There are still a ton of the top scoring LBs available, and a bunch of last year's studs that have gotten off to slow starts are also still available, so I'm not too concerned on losing Leonard as of today.

I have a rotating, end-of-bench roster spot that is currently being occupied by Ty Conklin, which I can easily use on a LB should there be a need prior to the Rams' bye. Kenny Young is logging all the snaps for the Rams, racking up a ton of tackles behind that monstrous DL, and contributing in the pass rush as well...he could be a top 5 LB this year.

Did a few moves and shook up the roster a little, had to replace Marcus Maye for my DB as well since he got hurt. According to his agent's twitter "he'll be fine right before the trade deadline.... "

Hurts
Ekeler/Henderson/Monty/Javonte/Pollard
Diggs/Mike Williams/Woods/Fuller/Patrick (Bateman on IR)
Schultz/Conklin
Harrison Smith
Cam Heyward
Kenny Young

Is there any league (outside of OS) that you don't have Woods ??? Anyway, now go find yourself a QB. ...

@SmokingMonkey
Good advice from an old sage.
Dump Patrick.

Tried to get Woods in 1 redraft and Kupp in the other, of course Kupp went before Woods in my 2nd draft after i took Woods before Kupp in the first one <facepalm>

Hurts is QB5 overall so far, Jones, Burrow, Darnold, Goff, TeddyB are best available, so looks like I'm stuck with Hurts for now

 

[leftypower]

Well, I'm personally higher on both Darnold and Burrows than Hurts. PHI just seems to have no clue or identity at this time. .... but that's just me. As I pointed out before, with your RB crew, L. Murray is kind of a wasted space.

That could be misleading early in the season. Juwan Johnson is a top 10 TE overall but no one is jumping to get him.

I'd argue that's more true of the QBs that are available than Hurts. He had a great game against Falcons ~28pts, and followed it up with 2 more games over 20pts.

Rushing floor props him up, I said it on another thread, he looked AWFUL against DAL...still scored 20 fantasy pts though, so production >>> name value or even actually being a good QB if you don't score fantasy pts

 

[SmokingMonkey]

out of what's available, Darnold and Heinicke, possibly Burrow, would be only backup QBs worth it, imo, and there's three of them available right now.

I don't trust Dan Jones, Bridgewater, Goff, or Lawrence yet over a low end WR2/high end WR3 type (Patrick) in a league with 2 flex spots.

none of the others are worth discussing at this point in the season - Ryan, BigBen, JimmyG, Insert Bears QB Name, Wentz, Mac, Winston

That is true cause it sure ain't from passing. ..... but that seems to be a norm these days. Jackson sucks passing but does run well to make up for it. At this point I'm just glad I don't have any Miles Sanders stock or what left of the Ravens backfield. .... they're killing them.

Well, I must say that based upon the game thus far - - you don't need to get a QB. When I'm wrong I'll man up and say it. ...
