2020 Season Discussion Thread

[Rodgerwilco]

Lost Henry and Chubb this week, thank god Latavius Murray had one of his useful days. After a shit-show of a week, I just need Calvin Ridley to outscore Hayden Hurst by 8.4 points or more, which is pretty do-able for a guy like Ridley.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Got CMC and Chubb on the same team...

On the other hand my 16 team league has had no injuries, RB's are Zeke, CEH, Miles Sanders and Jet

 

[Beauner]

Had this proposed to me:

My Lockett/David Moore for his Edmonds/Emmanuel Sanders/Aiyuk. Don't think that's a good deal but would a Lockett/Moss for Juju/Edmonds be a good counter? My only RBs are Conner/Moss/Swift so Edmonds would actually be an upgrade

Don't touch the first trade. Counter is fair, it really comes down to how either side views Edmonds or probably more importantly, Drake.

I'd stick with your guys. Tyler Lockett is a stud and has DK Metcalf taking away attention for him. You're losing the best player in the trade, IMO and Edmonds isn't getting enough opportunity with the way ARI has been spreading the offense.

The counter is fair, but losing Lockett would be a tough pill to swallow. What other options are available in Free Agency that you could potentially bolster your RB's without giving up Lockett.

It's a pretty competitive league; there's nothing available RB-wise. McKissic, Chris Thompson and Dion Lewis are the top 3 scorers available.

I have Kittle and Jonnu that I plan on starting/Flexing, so while I really hate giving up Lockett, I have those 2+Thielen that basically act as 2 WR1 + a WR2

Are you not able to move Jonnu for a decent RB? I think that would be my play.

Hmm, that's an interesting strategy to go for. My biggest concern with Edmonds is that his upside and usage are pretty seriously limited.

At this point D'Ernest Johnson may be a more solid move as opposed to giving up some top-notch WR's. Like @bleedblue1223 said, it may be a better move to try to shop Jonnu Smith for a better RB instead.

I've looked but that position is surprisingly deep this year. The one guy who has a need has already shot me down on trading one of his RBs. The other guy who would have a need is thin on RBs

Didn't have high enough waiver priority to snag D'Ernest lol. Though he went to the guy who already shot down my ask for one of his RBs so maybe I'll round back with him

D'Ernest+Jarvis Landry for Jonnu+Something? (Keelan Cole, Swift, Moss?)

Edit: And this might be a wrong take since I'm no expert, but I feel like Edmonds has higher upside than Moss or Swift week-to-week. For Edmonds it's a low ceiling, but I feel like his usage is at least consistent. With the other 2, you may have a higher ceiling but you may also get a game where they get 3 total touches.

Yeah, I've seen similar situations. In my view, there are only a handful of TEs that I would be comfortable riding the season out with, but there are enough pretenders that make owners not want to make a trade.

RB is a weird position right now. In my main league, I have Zeke, Carson, and Robinson. I would love to make a deal to upgrade my WR, but my other RBs were Dobbins and Moss. I ended up dropping both, so I think I'll ride with those 3, possibly pick up Pollard for insurance.

As things stand Edmonds absolutely has higher upside.

For Edmonds, he has an advantage with Drake ahead of him who isn't playing all that well, so he has the possibility of getting more work and he's getting all the targets. Murray stealing TDs is a problem for both though.

Moss like Singletary is a strong RB2 if there is an injury to the other, but isn't really startable with both in the lineup. It's a less bad situation than Baltimore, but still bad for both.

Swift is probably a mix of the 2. Gets decent enough work, and probably has a realistic path to getting more work as the season goes. Still not really playable at the current moment though.

I didn't mean that Edmonds has bad upside compared to Swift and Moss. I'm just not crazy about his upside overall, especially if you'd be shipping out a guy like Lockett.

So, with the addition of the two postponed games, i now have a full bench of bye week
or postponed game players.

 

[bleedblue1223]

So my league decided to change up how we handle COVID since the NFL is so inept at this. For all postponed games because there is still a risk of them getting cancelled, we are having manager set their ideal lineups, and then submitting a substitute player to the commish before the Sunday game start, if the game gets cancelled, then that sub becomes the starter. For example, I will be starting Allen and naming Cousins or Jimmy as my sub. That way I don't have to guess and start Allen and risk a 0 or bench Allen just to see him go off in the postponed game.

This is what we ended up doing as well.

Also ended up swinging a deal yesterday, trading Kelce and Edelman for Josh Jacobs, Beasley and Gesicki. I've got Hockenson and Tonyan, so it's a risk to trade away the (almost) guaranteed points in Kelce but if those guys keep doing what they've been doing this season I shouldn't lose out by much.

 

[tacogeoff]

I have CeeDee, Boyd, M.Brown, DK and McLaurin in one league. I have had McLaurin sitting on my bench since the start of the season so I decided to offer him up for Godwin as the manager that has him is sitting in 2nd last and has a very weak WR core. ended up getting him. did I give up too much?

 

[tacogeoff]

barkley ekeler and now dak....my team is on a free fall

 

[bleedblue1223]

Thank god for DK last night, he made up for starting Jefferson over Moore and Brown. I also made a deal to get Diggs for Moore and Brown, probably overpaid a bit, but Diggs is an upgrade and stacking him with Allen will either help me in a championship run or it was just never meant to be with Allen as my starter. I'll be able to get someone like Shenault/Gaskin/etc. off waivers, and I liked those options better than what my opponent had to throw in.

Nah, I say good buy low since you can handle him being out.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Barkley, Chubb and now Dak.... ouch on my team. Add that to fact Golladay and Godwin have missed time I'm amazed I'll be 2-3 after this week.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Probably this, I might swap Gage and Anderson. I think there is a sizable gap between Slayton and the rest though. Gage is the safest bet of the bunch, he'll be Sanu IMO.

Long-term, give me the GB receiver if they are able to solidify a #2 role. After Slayton in this range of WR, I'd consider Watkins over most of these, he at least has potential to build off his great playoffs and be that consistent 3rd option.

I didn't draft Anderson anywhere, but I think he has some sneaky upside. Panthers are going to be losing a ton, that defense is awful. This will lead to them throwing a ton, Anderson is a good receiver IMO and has shown it in flashes before. He could be the next guy to break-out after getting away from Adam Gase. Unfortunately he is not available in any league I am in.

Wish I pushed harder to trade for Robby A after this discussion, looks like a WR1 ROS. Teddy heavily targeting him and he is still good.

The Adam Gase curse got him too.

Probably silly of me for not thinking of the Gase curse, but man I was wrong on how the targets would be between Anderson and Moore. I figured Moore would dominate the targets, and he's the clear #2 in that group, which still seems crazy to me. Moore is probably the one player I was very wrong about this season.

Edit: I was wrong on others, but Moore was the one I was really wrong on.

Yeah, I loved Moore too and he's been disappointing. Not a complete bust but clearly the #2 in the offense which is very disappointing.
