I love dealing with you T, you make things so much easier. One of the things that Matthew Berry always says is that you should ask the other person to rank your players for you because they could see them much differently than you would. Basically in your case, Demaryius Thomas is off the table and it's not because I don't see him as a decent choice, but having Emmanuel Sanders also, I can't have two Denver wide receivers as terrible as they've been on offense at times and I really think that Thomas and Sanders are equals as WR2's. That leaves Cooks and Benjamin because Maclin has even been terrible in good matchups so far this year. Honestly I think both of them are on the line of bottom WR1 top WR2's ranked somewhere between 11 and 15. Anything you want to send involving either of them I would definitely consider. I mean if you'd like to throw in Ezekiel Elliott I'd be fine with that too

Sending offer now.

Only way I throw in Zeke is if you are willing to deal your kicker in return!

nice dealing with ya Lefty! I had thought I sent that same offer as one of the initial spit balls, but oh well, if i didn't, I definitely meant too!

Lefty sends RW to Fudpuckers for The Duke

 

[TREFF]

that doesn't mean the Fudpuckers general store is closed though. .still have multiple offers out there, still taking offers..only now, I just need a good solid RB, no QB's need apply..offering up Dez, C. Coleman, Moncrief, M.Thomas, Gio, Ivory, Dw. Washington,...in any combination thereof.

In a way it's better to be at the bottom of the pack in waivers because then you don't care who you put in for each week and feel like you can take a lot more chances.

...it just doesn't make that much difference because you still have to guess right at who you are picking up.

It's a thought I hadn't considered. Bravo.
Still... with higher priority you still have first crack at "guessing".

I forgot to mention that the 'bid' system suggested by Tlance could be very interesting and perhaps resolve some issues. I have never been involved with one but would be willing to give that a go. Not sure if ESPN supports that approach though.

ESPN does support it. I was in a league that used it.
There are 2 options. I'm guessing that our group would go for the option that is NOT continuous.

 

[Chef99]

Hey Joe, there's this concept called "trading", too!

Yes. Continuos waivers and short benches don't mix well.

I've been stubborn.
Been waiting for ARob to take off.
Hasn't happened. (Nice, Capt Obvious.)
I am feeling vulnerable right now if someone sees somebody they like.

Didn't think I'd let you get away with that statement did ya?

Received some interesting offers today. will need a little time to process.

I find that processing is always much better on Wednesday mornings.

I decided against all of the offers but it was not easy.

Lefty sends RW to Fudpuckers for The Duke

Likewise Treff - - figured we get something done with 8-10 offers floating between us . Now I'm RB poor, anyone with a WR they want to send my way for anyone other than Gurley, I'll listen.

How about Duke for Dez ???

 

[TREFF]

Ha!

 

[TREFF]

the whole Lacy/Starks/KNiles Davis situation is throwing doubt into my "to claim or not to claim" quandary

 

[leftypower]

I get that. Took Lacy in big money league and backed him up with Starks - thought I was good to go.

 

[Chef99]

Good offer, @tlance . I almost pulled the trigger, but I need to think about it a little more and consider my options.

 

[leftypower]

I used my waiver claim this week. Wasn't moving up anyway. Surprised to get the guy I wanted. .... I sure hope the fact that Joe moves one step closer eases his tension. ... I still find it interesting that the waiver process has gotten so much attention this year, and barely a peep in the past. .... hummm

You must've missed some of the great debates T and I had on the subject the past 2 seasons. .it's definitely been in the news so to speak.

and I think you'd have been surprised. .I used my #2 spot, and after the cycle went through, ended up back at 5...you could've been pretty high

Just glad I went ahead and used it since I got the guy I aimed for anyway - Besides I'm back at 7 was at 6.
As for the great debate - wasn't that prior to the season not during? No matter, I'm sure it will get changed to auction for next year. .... then people can get depressed or testy when they're out bid. ... some will love it, others will hate it.
