Trashman HeaderOften times, there is nothing tougher (or more important) than deciding who your weekly flex-plays are. It can be a mind-numbing experience having to make cross-positional projections.

This season, our RosterWatch PRO community will have personal and exclusive access to our very own disgusting Trashman, who has carefully curated his personal weekly flex rankings in order to help you in gaining input about your roster decisions. Please refer to the Rankings tab for our staff positional rankings.

  1. Why so low on James White this week? Pats putting down a 60 burger?

    1. Dunno Trashman’s thinking but I don’t see this being a James White game myself. Who knows. Maybe Brandon Bolden scores 3 times.

      1. Jesus Christ don’t say that. I’ll need to wait for rankings update. I can get behind Adrian Peterson ahead of white just not sure about singletary ahead of him

        1. James White is out, wife is having a baby so he’s not traveling with the team to Miami.

  2. Attention: PLEASE UPLOAD an AVATAR. We will start prioritizing answering questions by those who have avatars. This takes 30 seconds.

    Go to- http://en.gravatar.com/ and create an account, that has same email address as your RW PRO account- and then upload an avatar. It’s very easy and super quick.

    That’s it, it will all work automatically on this site from there. Thank you!

    1. Testing

      1. Nope didnt work

        1. OK had to logout of RW Pro and then log back in after the avatar was uploaded on WordPress

    2. Byron – where do you upload the Avatar on RW site?

      1. Nevermind! It worked! Easy.
        Question: 10 man Non-PPR I just traded Hollywood for OJ Howard. Do i hold Hunter Henry?
        Thanks!

        1. Yikes Im a OJHoward owner too. May have to hold HH now- or turn to somebody like Noah Fant. Assuming Hockenson and Waller long gone

    3. Wow very simple for someone who’s old school, I got my avatar to work, thanks for all your help

      1. Thank you!

      1. Thx Nebraska!

  3. Post By Show Me Your TDs

    Don’t have lev bell but used my extra bench spot for ty mont after sliding Henry to IR. Is ty mont worth the “stash”? That being said I used WW cheat sheet and got V. Davis. Other TE available are Gesicki, Dissly, Griffin and Everett as the top ones. Should I roll with Davis or swap with someone like Everett or griffin? 16 TM PPR.

    Thank you!

    1. Follow the rankings for TE- they are updated- as long as Reed is out this a decent spot for VD. TyMo is a mediocre stash if you don’t own Bell – can be a nice flex play though for you if Bell goes down

      1. Post By Show Me Your TDs

        Thanks!

    10 team standard league

    QB: Phil Rivers
    RB: Alvin Kamara, Leonard Fournette, Josh Jacobs, Carlos Hyde, Tevin Coleman, Derrius Guice
    WR: Julio Jones, AB, AJ Green, Desean Jackson, Jarvis Landry, Curtis Samuel
    TE: Jared Cook

    1. Should I drop Coleman and Guice or one or the other for either Mosert, AP, Ronald Jones? Obviously I don’t need immediate RB help

    2. Should I drop Jared Cook for Jimmy Graham or hold on to Graham?

    1. Post By drew.g.summitt@wmich.edu

      Hold onto cook is what I meant

      1. keep cook – if Guice is lost for the year, obv. you can drop him.

        1. Post By drew.g.summitt@wmich.edu

          Would you drop tevin Coleman for any of those three or hold onto him?

  5. Post By rickymurawski@gmail.com

    I have Duke Johnson, Darren Waller, Kyler Murray, Tyreek Hill,Christian Kirk and Courtland Sutton on my bench, with the news with Guice out for the Year is it worth it to drop any of them to pick up Adrian Peterson?

    1. Post By rickymurawski@gmail.com

      My Starters are Baker Mayfield, Matt Brieda, Mark Ingram, Deandre Hopkins, Amari Cooper, Austin Hooper, Sony Michel.

      1. we don’t know yet that Guice is out for the year. Still, I might drop Hooper to pick up AP to bolster your RBs in the meantime. You’re likely going to want to start Waller from here on out.

        1. Post By rickymurawski@gmail.com

          Man drop Hooper and play Waller thats super bold

  6. Post By John Hunsberger

    What are thoughts on mike Williams ? Currently benching for djax

    1. Post By John Hunsberger

      If mike Williams plays

  7. ROSTERWATCH – would you trade antonio brown for robert woods in a keeper league? you can only keep 3 and I could keep someone else and already have Kamara and David Johnson love your service and I just signed up this year after listening to you guys on sirius!

    1. I hate AB so I’d make the trade but you can’t deny the upside he has with Brady. I think in a keeper, Woods is appealing as he’s younger and attached to a younger QB, however, it might not be +EV in the very short term. Depends on your goals – long-term security vs. turbulent immediate upside.

  8. Avatar test…. fingers crossed. If this worked would you add Shady and drop either Samuels (not Connor owner) or Justin Jackson? Just trying to have some RB depth and/or flyer. thank you

    1. I would definitely add Shady for Samuels if not a Conner owner.

      1. sweet. thank you

        1. Thanks KC!

  9. PPR
    Awesome draft, Thank you for the Ultimate Cheat Sheet!

    This week I will play McCaffrey and DelvCook and OBJ for sure
    I need: aother 1 RB 3 WR 2 flex from the below (Asking now since Godwin and Samuel play tonight):

    AntBrown, TBoyd, CGodwin, CSamuel, ARobinson, CKirk
    MBreida, RoyceFreeman, CHyde, RJones

    Also, available as FA are:
    APeterson (with Guice out should I own him instead of Hyde or RJones?), Mostert, DHenderson, JHill

    WR FA are TyWilliams, DKMetcalf and CDavis instead of CSamuels or Kirk?

    Grab any of these?
    Thanks you

  10. PPR 2nd league Rocks 0-1

    On bench I have JLandry and CRidley
    FA available: DJax, TyWilliams, JRoss, CSutton, DJMetcalf
    this would be a Bye week or injury fill in for S Watkins (I have THill) or T Boyd who I play

    Who has more promise when AJGreen returns: Boyd or Ross?

    Sitting on my Bench I have DHenry and LMurray (I play MCaffrey, Fournette and Gurly)
    FA available are McCoy, Singletary, HydeRJones, MalcBrown, Mostert and APeterson?
    – Any FA better to own right now than LMurray

    Thank you

    1. Upload and avatar!

      1. Jesus- *an

    2. Is this a series of questions or one question? We like Latavius, I would not drop him.

  11. Post By btgolf5@gmail.com

    josh Jacobs, Mark Ingram, Matt Breida, Lesean McCoy,….. need 2 to start. Thanks Fam

    1. Post By btgolf5@gmail.com

      0.5 PPR

    2. Ingram + Jacobs

  12. Hey guys,

    Few questions. All 1 pt PPR.

    1. Need one (1) to sit.
    Devonta Freeman
    Cooper Kupp
    DJ Moore

    2. Need one (1) for flex.
    Mecole Hardman
    Cortland Sutton
    Justice Hill
    Mike Williams (if he plays)

    3. David Carr or Kyler Murray?

    Thanks!

    1. I’d play Kupp + Moore.
      May be crazy but I’d actually roll Hardman.
      Carr. And it’s Derek.

      1. Lol sorry Texans fan here… David still stuck in my head haha thanks man

  13. Drop Cuzins for Josh Allen?

    1. That’s fine

  14. What do you think of trading away Mahomes and Mixon for McCaffrey in 1 qb dynasty? Have Jackson and Wilson as my other qb’s.
    Thanks!

    1. Think it is fine. You get the best player.

  15. Proposed trade to me: I have Ingram and Josh Gordon, I receive Devonta Freeman and Brandin Cooks. Should I do it? 12 team .5PPR Currently rostered WRs: Lockett, Landry, DJax, AB, Curtis Samuel, Gordon. RBs Zeke, Fournette, Ingram

      1. Thanks for the input BTW, won the championship last year using RW in one league, 3rd place finish in a second. Will continue to use RW.

  16. In a 12 team ppr, my Rb’s are:David Johnson, DHenry, Damian Williams and Duke.
    Wr’s are OBJ, ARob, Crowder, CSamuel,McLaurin and Moncrief. Would you drop any of these receivers for Ronald Jones? Thanks guys

    1. I’d drop Moncrief for Rojo since he’s just a bench stash. Want those guys to have more upside than an entrenched No.2/3 WR.

  17. Who do you believe is a better rb stash on my bench: Rex Burkhead or Justin Jackson? 1 ppr. Thanks guys.

    1. Probably Jackson barring injury to other NE RBs.

  18. I got a monster draft, but am a little weak on WR. I’m a Leveon Bell owner.

    Should I drop one of these WRs or RBs on my bench to get Ty Montgomery to protect my investment.

    WRs – DeSean Jackson, Courtland Sutton, James Washington

    RBs – Tony Pollard, Kalen Ballage, A Mattison

    1. Testing new avatar. Thx in advance for your advice.

    2. drop Pollard and get Montgomery.

  19. Testing new Avatar.

    Need some flex help this week (standard scoring with long TD bonuses): Choosing between James White, DJ Moore, Hollywood Brown (w/ Lamar hookup), David Montgomery, or Giovani Bernard.

    Thanks Byron and Alex for all your hard work!

    1. If we don’t have Mixon, go Gio. He always smashes in these spots./

  20. Im in a 12 team standard 2 superflex’s. I have D Montgomery on my bench waiting for bye weeks.
    Ive been offered a trade for G. Benard for D. Montgomery.
    Yay or Nay?

      1. Thank you and I’m old school and I’ll figure out uploading a gravatar soon…lol

  21. Got offered tyreek hill for Lamar Jackson? Should I take it? I’m rb heavy and I got aj green on bench and kyler Murray as backup.

    1. I would take that in a heart beat. Pick up a different QB than Kyler this week tho. Maybe Josh Allen.

  22. Guessing Coleman sits until after week 4 bye. Would you pick up Ronald Jones instead of holding. Both just RB depth. 10 team PPR.

    Thanks

    1. I’d wait on Coleman.

    Thank you

    1. answered above, but this post is confusing. What is the question?

      1. Sorry about the confusing post:
        In PPR
        Which 2 should I own?
        Landry, Ridley, DJax, TyWilliams, Sutton DKMetcalf

        And which one should I have on my bench?
        LatMurray, McCoy, Singletary, Hyde, MalcBrown, RJones, Mostert, APeterson
        All are available to me

        Thank you

        1. tough, i’d say Williams and Ridley to get targets and TD share, though you need to have djax on your team

      2. Alex,

        Half pt ppr:

        Pick 2 guys:

        Chris Godwin
        Josh gordon
        Tyler Lockett
        A peterson
        Miles sanders

        Also have mike Evan’s at wr and

        Rbs are McCaffrey and Freeman

  25. 10 team half point ppr league that starts 1 QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 TE, and 2Flex. I have…
    Ben, Rivers
    CMC, M. Sanders, J. Howard, Mostert, Penny, Gus Edwards
    JuJu, Evans, K. Allen, Edelman, Kirk, C. Sutton
    E. Engram

    I have a guy that is interested in trading away Wentz, because he also has Mahomes. Should I make a move, or keep what I have? I know I could really stand to upgrade my RB2 situation, but since he mentioned it today I figured I would ask for some sage advice.

    1. i’d be more concerned about your rb situation

      1. Oh I am…but this is what the draft cheat sheet gave me.

  26. Post By teaton67@gmail.com

    Avatar test. Do I roll with Tyler Boyd or tyrell Williams this week? 10 team ppr.

  27. Guice – he is my RB4. I do play 3 RBs in PPR
    Do I drop Guice for
    APeterson, Mostert, Henderson or JHill?

    Would I rather have CKirk or Ty Williams or DKMetcalf as my WR 5? I play 4 in a PPR

    Thank you

  28. .5pt PPR: Mike Evans or Chris Godwin?

    1. Post By Baron VonIronCock

      Is avoid all bucs an option ?

  29. Alex,

    Half pt ppr:

    Pick 2 guys:

    Chris Godwin
    Josh gordon
    Tyler Lockett
    A peterson
    Miles sanders

    Also have mike Evan’s at wr and

    Rbs are McCaffrey and Freeman

  30. PPR: I just lost Hunter Henry. I’ve been offered Darren Waller and Sammy Watkins in exchange for my Leonard Fournette. Click accept? My other RBs are CMC, Kerryon, Brieda, and Justin Jackson

    1. Post By Baron VonIronCock

      what a great offer
      I may accept it

  31. Was offered a trade

    The league is 10 team .5 ppr 6pts per td for everyone.. bonus tds for rbs and WRs

  33. Post By Fantasy Not So Bright

    Trade Robert Woods for Josh Gordon? Non-ppr league.

    1. Post By Baron VonIronCock

      I am not sure I make that move
      kind of lateral and woods doesn’t have the question marks with availability

      1. Thx Baron!

  34. 10 team PPR Keeper league. Bench depth add Corey Davis or A.J. Brown?

    Thanks

    1. Brown

      1. Byron, how come you only answer certain questions. I have paid subscription and really needed a question answered yesterday before game time and received no answer

  35. Have Kyler as my QB and looking to drop someone to pick up a streamer (14 tm .5 PPR). Who would you drop? Do you have faith that HH will return and be worth the stash?

    WRs – Evans, Godwin, Cooks, Metcalf, Ross, James Washington

    RBs (in trouble because none of the high upside guys I drafted hit) – D Johnson, L Murray, Henderson & D Thompson

    TE – Hunter Henry, V Davis

    1. Should also note that league has 2 WR 2 RB 2 Flex

      1. also just keep working waivers (and soon trade market) for RBs. (may be something else to consider- who will eventually offer more value in a trade if you keep either of them- JWash or HH?)

    2. If you have to you can drop Henry or JWash. I’d prob lean towards dropping Henry in a vacuum right now- but you are deep at WR- so toss up. Same for you- can you pick up Noah Fant?

  36. Post By dignan@foxinternet.net

    In a ppr, should I drop Doyle and pick up Uzomah? Thinking mainly rest-of-year. Thanks!

    1. Grab Noah Fant, instead

      1. Post By dignan@foxinternet.net

        He’s gone. So is Herndon. Remaining TEs left:
        V.Davis, G.Swaim, C.Uzomah, B.Watson, B.Jarwin, D.Goedert, T.Higbee…ugh.

  37. Post By Dlmjr7@gmail.com

    Added Josh Allen to take over Cam. I also had Jameis and Cousins available. Right move?

    1. Think so. Jameis might be a good pickup too, if you can. Ride them both out for a few weeks see who you like more before before byes – and/or through byes

  38. .5 ppr. Would you move sutton or samuel for Guice and wait for him to return? He also asked about Hockenson

    Start two rb, 3 wr and a flex.
    Rbs: ingram, lindsay, ronald jones, G Edwards and mostert
    Wr: Julio, Hopkins, Mike Williams, samuel, sutton and P. Campbell.

    Or anyone else youd try and target elsewhere

    1. No- keep Sutton, Samuel, and Hockenson…..

      Use the rankings for sit/starts!

  39. 12 Team Standard

    Frustrated Cam owner looking to trade for Goff.

    Thinking of offering Singletary or Breida, Goff owner need’s RB help.

    My other RB’s are Cook, Ingram and D Williams.

    1. That’s probably fine. Who else is on your waiver wire? In a 12 man, you can prob get away with waiver wire QB

      1. I have Carr as my backup (dropped Darnold)

        Available on waivers – Darnold, Brissett and Dalton

        Who would you offer for Goff, Breida or Singletary?

  40. Was offered Edelman for Mack straight up in 0.5 PPR. Thoughts?

    1. I want Mack. Please upload an avatar. See the instructions above…..thank you!

      1. Will do. For some background, have David Johnson, D. Cook, and Kerryon at RB, and Lockett and Golladay at WR

        1. Trade Kerryon for a WR

          1. Post By Byron Lambert

            Keep Mack

    2. Post By woo.jonathanwoo

      I have both on my team. I’d part with Edelman before parting with Mack. If the first game is any indication, volume is going to be heavy for Mack.

      1. Thank you Mr. Woo

  41. What’s the deal with Lev Bell? Is he safe to start (I am concerned I will be hung out to dry since Bell plays Monday night) or should I swap him for D freeman who is currently riding my bench, Also with the Jet QB situation is Crowder dead meat. He is available on waivers. thanks

    1. i’d still roll with bell. i think crowder is still worth owning

  42. Post By andy81209@aol.com

    Are you guys still doing the Pro PodCast review every saturday?

  43. Man- if you own TyM like you should- I’d say prob stick w/ Bell.

  44. Standard league – who should i start at flex.. lockett, ridley or landry??

    1. You’re in the smelly trashmans flex rankings post… Did you look at the matchup tool? I’d go Ridley eagles secondary looked like trash last week.

  45. Post By packerspurs@gmail.com

    After Newton screwed me last night need to hit a homerun with my flex

    options:
    Crowder
    Montgomery
    Howard
    Moncrief
    Kirk
    McClaurin

    Also should I keep holding onto Darwin Thompson or look into someone like Cobb, Allison, or Vance McDonald?

    TIA Go Pack Go!!!

    1. How many teams? Lots of trashy options there. What’s the matchup tool say?
      HR potentials McClaurin or Kirk for me…. even Moncrief interests me.

      1. Post By packerspurs@gmail.com

        12 man PPR

  46. Post By biggreen8989@yahoo.com

    Singletary or David Montgomery ppr

    1. Give Monty another week

  47. Cory Davis and AJ Brown are both on my waiver wire, with the possibility of M. Williams being a gametime decison…. in my 12 team standard I have Mclaurin ready to fill M Williams spot or should I grab one of these guys as a flyer until Williams is back to 100%

    1. I’d stash A.J. if you have the room. I hate Davis.

  48. I have a trade offer in a keeper league… but they are probably 1 year rentals since you lose the pick in the round you keep a guy and these RBs are early, and the WRs just really arent top 48 guys.

    I’d get – Kerryon Johnson (1st rd) and Trey Quinn (14th)
    I’d give up – Miles Sanders (2nd rd) and John Brown (8th)

    I’m suddenly thin at WR with injuries to Hill, Shepard, and Enunwa before golden tate got back from supension. I’ll be playing any/all the guys listed as my WR3 and Flex this week and possibly more.

    My other keepers are Kamara, Hill, Mike Evans, Duke Johnson

    1. Meh. If you think you need a WR why not flip sanders for a better one straight up?

  49. Post By rbrusuelas@consolidated.net

    Test

  50. Should I drop Miles Sanders or Lat Murray for Adrian Peterson? 0.5ppr league. Thanks guys!

    1. You don’t have anyone else to drop?
      Do you need to start one of these this week?

  51. Ppr woods or lockett?

    1. Woods.

  52. Should I drop hunter henry? I have hooper as backup te?

    1. How many teams?
      How many bench spots?
      He’s out 4-6 ya? If you have room to stash go ahead.

    2. 12 team ppr, not much room to stash but idk if he will be worth stashing?

  53. Is Jones II or Barber the RB to prioritize in Tampa Bay?

    1. Did you watch that shit Thursday lol. Ugh. Barber… for now.

  54. ‪I need help please with a start sit question full PPR. Brieda or K. Johnson.‬

  55. Post By smithsonje@gmail.com

    Collar Boned 1-0 (up 44 to 6 currently)

    I own Brady and L.Jackson. I prefer the Brady matchup but the propensity for a quick lead and running the ball scares me.

    I know you dont subscribe to considering your opponents WR when decided who to start a QB (but lol), worth noting he has edelman as well.

    With the rankings being 2 and 3 does jackson in your opinion have the better chance to be throwing for 60 minutes compared to Brady?

    Talked a ton of trash to my best bud/boss and need to back it up! Thanks for the help!

    1. Don’t over think it. How many points for a pass TD?
