WR3 Week 8... plus trades.

[TKOSpikes]

12 team, standard, redraft, QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, K, D... (technically 2WR, 1TE, and 1WR/TE)

6-1

My team yesterday... bench
Herbert... Cam
Henry, Hunt... Gurley, Mixon, Jamaal Williams
Evans, DK, Kupp... Deebo, Aiyuk, Hardman
Waller...
K
D

Traded Aiyuk and Jamaal for Wentz
(owner has Rodgers and Brees. Lost Odell. David Johnson and James Robinson on byes)
... coincidentally I just got Aiyuk last week from this owner for Jimmy Graham (he lost Ertz).

Traded Kupp for Bell
(potential for January gain with Lev... if needed, as I plan to move Mixon or Gurley)

On the table
Herbert and Gurley for Adams and Chubb (owner is 2-5)
(owner had Dak... then Dalton... but does have Baker who finally showed up)
...first offer was Evans and Gurley for Adams and Chubb... he rejected immediately. So he must be thinking hard on this one.

... kind of why I went after Wentz... who has a good schedule, but I don't expect Herbert to have 35+ TD and 4500 yards. Adams would solidify my team I think.


But until then... week 8 will have Hardman starting (oh how I hate Andy Reid)

Waivers is ripped pretty clean...
Agholor - meh... not buying 9 targets and TD streaks
Ruggs - meh... three targets max? And already have Waller.
Both at Cleveland (good matchup I guess)

Marvin Jones - meh... finally got some targets last week.
Home to Indy (bad matchup "they" say)

Rashard Higgins - meh... thought he'd already be involved. not sure how to gauge forward.
Home to Vegas (maybe this is the choice, with Baker showing up)

Sterling Shepard - meh... TB really got things covered up this year. Is this my Slayton aggravation trickling over to another league?)
Home to TB

Greg Ward - meh... do any of us really trust this production?
Home to Dallas (juicy... hope it pays off for Wentz)


Not really anyone else worth discussing. TE is also wiped clean... (although Goedert is there and I will keep an eye on that)


Who is your WR waiver if the Adams deal gets rejected?
Do you start them over Hardman?
Am I nuts for messing with a 6-1 points leading team?

Interested in the Kupp for Bell move thoughts. Should I have waited on the Adams deal?

Don't love the Kupp for Bell trade. I do like the other maneuvers, though. Of all the wire names, I like Shepard the best.

not a fan of moving Aiyuk + Jamaal for Wentz, at all.
QB is prob the one position you can find a streamer from the WW heap.

BUT......if you are on the Wentz train I think you go for the glory and go Ward over Mecole.
Sterling Shep would be my next pull. Giants were leading for a lot of that game last week, and he seemed to be involved the whole night

8 man benches...

Waiver QBs are Foles, Lock and Darnold and Jones... and DiNucci.

That changes it for sure. Cam being awful lately makes it a better move for you as well. Be bouncing back and forth between herbert and wentz if I were in that position over trusting Cam

Honestly, I think you're tinkering too much. Especially so with the Kupp for Bell deal. I do like the deal for Wentz. But since you already made the deals, I think you really need to secure the Adams/Chubb deal. That would put in better standing than what you were before you started making deals. If it doesn't go through, I think you made yourself worse.

As for those WR waiver guys, I like Shepard and Aghelor the best.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Well. Chubb and Adams deal did not go down.

Mecole doubles up Kupp.

I can dig it. Other than dynasties, this league is the only one I didn't bail on Hardman.

 

[TKOSpikes]

spoke too soon... thought the Fins game was over. Kupp breaks double digits.

still...

 

[TKOSpikes]

Herbert shines again...

I think you guys were right. I should have waited this out. Not so concerned with Aiyuk, but it was still a lack of thorough assessment from me.

(still winning though... up 30+... he has Brady, I have Wentz and Evans)
