So is Puka the real deal?

You probably have to wait for Kupp to return in week 5 to be certain, but owners can definitely start him the next 2 weeks.

For sure, agreed. I do mostly dynasty so I think I am more looking from that perspective as I think time is probably running short on the career of Cooper Kupp especially with the growing history of hamstring injuries.

Puka, what about Kyren? I was able to grab both of them last week and (unfortunately) left both on my bench. Good thing now that I have Montgomery missing a few weeks and JaMarr JaSucking again.

As a Darrel Henderson owner last year and Cam Akers owner this year I have absolutely no trust in what Sean McVay is going to do at RB between now and the end of the season.

I was thinking mims was my priority ww add this week, but you have to take a look at Jerome Ford. Breida is an ok option but Barkley will be back soon and I’m not certain Jaylon Reed will get the touches once Watson is back.

What is everyone's take on Garrett Wilson rest of season?  Luckily I went heavy WR so it's not killing me, but just wondering if it's best to trade him at this point.  I'm kicking myself for gettin cute and not going with St Brown or Lamb.  Of course if Rodgers doesn't get hurt it's probably a different story, but still was probably a risky move overall.

Not really seeking advice but one guy in my league had both Rodgers and Chubb on his team this year. I wonder how his team will look after week 3...

the question is what can you get for him. He did have 15 pts in my league last week so he put up numbers in his absence. I'd hold unless someone overpays. 

[jerichoholicninja]

My WR's are Chase, St. Brown, Cooper, and Puka. Do I really not start Chase this week, especially if Burrows is out?

[wildcat83]

With Ekeler out I need to start Zack Moss or Javonte Williams?  Thoughts?  Most projections have them pretty much a wash.

Reminds me of my 1999 fantasy season when I had Vinny Testaverde, Shannon Sharpe, Jamal Anderson and another player I don't remember all go down early in the year with season ending injuries, except for Sharpe who was only out half the season. Needless to say I finished in last place.

Here’s a question, I want to pick up Buffalo’s defense on waivers to hold on (not play this week). The 2 options to cut are tank dell or roschon Johnson. I think I have equal depth at wr or rb so position isn’t really a consideration.

my thought is Johnson, I have Jonathon Taylor on pup, and like I said my depth for receivers and backs are both ok.

a guy in my league cut the bills for the bengals today because they have a tough matchup against Miami this weekend but that is so short sided.

Seems to me like Tank Dell is much more hit or miss and with him hitting a few times early, teams will start to double him more.

I was hoping we'd grab Johnson in the draft this year in Rd 3/4 as I thought he was a really good back and he's been even better in what I've seen. I think he's becoming a larger part of that offense and I think especially this week, Chicago is going to give him the ball a lot early.

 

Just...my 2 cents, I normally don't jump in on Fantasy, but I'm pretty bullish on Johnson.

I appreciate your insight. I think Johnson will start getting more looks, maybe even starting this weekend.

plus with a rookie qb, not sure what tank will do moving forward 

[homer]

I would drop Johnson. The Texans are throwing a ton and they only have two receivers - Dell and Collins. The Bears might be all time bad and Johnson is gonna split time with Herbert unless there's an injury.

thanks johnson was my gut. I also think unless Johnson goes off on Sunday he may be getable next week when I drop my other defense that I'm playing this week while I stash the Bills (if i get the claim).

Ive been in Europe the last couple weeks so not very sure whats going on NFL wise. Help me pick 2 RBs this week as i am somehow 3-0. I have a lot of questionables right now.

Jerome Ford

Alvin Kamara

Aaron Jones

AJ Dillon

Miles Sanders

[jerichoholicninja]

I second getting rid of Johnson. The Bears are bad. They'll be playing from behind a lot and Fields will be splitting carries with whoever is in the backfield. Seems like you're talking about bottom of your roster guys anyway. You'll churn through those spots all year. Whichever position you decide to cut another random RB or WR will breakout in the next couple weeks you can grab.

Definitely not AJ Dillon

Sanders plays MN and their defense really sucks. I'd probably go with him and Jones.

 

[patrickgpe]

@worm81I'd second Sanders and Jones.

Thanks, both of these guys hopefully never make it to my starting roster unless needed for a bye,  Whomever I keep will probably have to go to activate JT once he is off PUP anyway. Also you are right, they will probably go for next months flavor of the month after the next injury or breakout.

Had Montgomery on my bench last night. Didn't think he would play that much coming off injury and Thursday night games are generally crapfests. Silver lining is he looks like he's the RB1 for Detroit and now my RB1 going forward.

[jerichoholicninja]

Good problem to have but a problem none the less.

I need 2 WR, 2 RB, and a Flex from this group:

WR - St. Brown, Chase, Nacua,
RB - James Cook, Kyren Williams, David Montgomery

I think the WR all need to start so that leaves one RB to have on my bench and I'm debating between Cook and Williams. Williams has had some great games but he's got a tough D this week. Cook seems like a pretty solid floor but he lost a lot of snaps last week in a game that he should have been fed and he's traveling to London which is a total wild card. I'm leaning toward benching Cook.

[patrickgpe]

@jerichoholicninjai agree that Cook is the player to sit. 

[jerichoholicninja]

St. Brown and Williams have injuries now. Stupid early morning London game for Cook really messes this up.
