I'm at a loss. I don't feel like I have a 1-2 team. I definitely don't have a 1-3 team, but I'm going up against one of the two best guys this week. His starting lineup has outscored my starting lineup by a lot all 3 weeks so far.....but that's not surprising since my issue in my 2 losses was who I had on my bench. I look at the RB list to see who I could trade for, and I don't see anybody that's even worth an attempt. I mean....nobody is going to give up Marshawn Lynch or Leveon Bell. If that trade that I initiated for Giovanni Bernard had gone through, I'd be sitting pretty right now. I think now is a good time to buy low on Eddie Lacy....but who do I even offer? My WRs who are supposed to be carrying this team are shitting the bed all over the place. The plan was for Cordarrelle to go off this week so I could offer him plus a middling RB for a star WR like Julio or star RB like Lynch. Now I look and realize that even though he hasn't done shit since the first week...he's still my best WR. My second best WR is Cooks, who you never know if he's going to see any passes in the endzone from week to week.

Meanwhile...the guy who doesn't know anything about fantasy is the only undefeated team, despite the fact that he would have lost to all but 2 teams this week. Big shocker here....he's had the least points scored against him so far this year.

Fuck fantasy football.

Gotta do some waiver wire hunting since I have RBs stashed that are hurt/and or on bye. So need to find a guy for a one week start:

Bobby Rainey v Pit (doubtful since Martin should be back?)
Matt Asiata v Atl (god do the Vikings suck...)
Darren McFadden v Mia (he's got a chance?)
LeGarrette Blount v TB
Donald Brown v Jax (probably who I am leaning towards)
Khiry Robinson v Dal

L. Taliaferro or Eddie Royal worth taking a shot at on waviers?

keep in mind we have huge teams... 12 teams and 18 man rosters so waiver wire is dicey but its the only way to go ... trading in my league is next to nonexistent... everyone wants the Trent Richardson type deal

I vote Robinson. Browns carries are going to be staggered beaches he's honestly the only decent option the Bolts have left. Plus Jacksonville just sucks something awful. He'd most likely see the bench the second half in favor of some practice squad player running out clock.

Meanwhile the Saints haven't shown the ability to stop anyone remotely competent aside from Cassell, let alone the run game. Meanwhile Dallas will struggle to stop Graham, Cooks and Murray. If anything I'd take that match up because both offenses will have to put points on the board.

so i got a question for all you guys.... what are the setups of your leagues... everytime I look or talk to anyone they mention like 5 guys who "should be available" but never are in my league... am I just playing in an extremely large league?

Bradshaw... eventually Indy is going to realize he is the starter and get 17-22 carries a game.

Mine is a 8 team 18 roster league that is a PPR league and yardage doesn't give us much points (25/pt)

You being in a 12 team 18 man roster league is a REALLY deep league. While waiver wires in a league like that you have to make your move a week before it happens. ie if a backup is showing glimpse, taking him and stashing him and hoping he comes through.

As for your question, take Taliaferro. Biggest upside over Royal as Pierce has never been good, so if Taliaferro keeps showing up and running the style they like, he will eventually take over.
