    Ppr flex.
    Pick 2
    Gurley
    Snell
    Z moss
    D Montgomery
    Gibson

    1. ↓ Post By The Good Doc

      Pretty Easy D Ron. I would go with Gurley vs Cowboys (his old team just ran all over them) and Montgomery. He doesn’t have an old team but he ran well last week coming off the groin injury. Should have a better game script this week vs Giants who got gashed on the ground by Benny Snell. Good luck and kick some ass this week!

    2. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      If Connor doesnt play Snell is an easy call. If he does

      Gurley and Moss for me

    Hey Trashman, I need some advice (.5 ppr league)…CHUBB & MIXON will be my starters for most weeks:

    Would you drop Antonio Gibson for De’Andre Swift for a bench spot. This would be my 3rd OR 4th rb. (Flex option). I also have Jk Dobbins & Zack Moss on the bench that i could drop for Swift!

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      Sanchez: It is a 50/50 call who will be the more productive rookie. It may be more matchup driven. Forced to pick, I’d stay with AG, less clutter in that backfield

    2. ↓ Post By Hans

      Boy, the shine came off Gibson quickly. I’d like to see him in a different game script before dropping him.

  3. ↓ Post By Incognito

    Dallas Goedert is on waivers — Should i grab him and drop Tyler Higbee, who i think has more competition for the ball. Also would you drop Evan Egan for Dallas? I don’t see any reason why Dallas’ targets will decrease. I smell a breakout year for this guy. What do you think?

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      Sorry I don’t understand the Q entirely. I would not drop Higbee until we get more word about Gerald Everett’s injury, but I’d try to get Goedert on my team if I had a backup QB or someone sitting around.

      1. ↓ Post By Incognito

        Have two teams. Wondering if Dallas is better for ROS than Tyler and Evan.

    Should I Trade TY Hilton & James Robinson for Allen Robinson?
    or should I trade the Thomas owner Emanual Sanders and James Robinson for Chris Carson?

    which ones seems like the better option?

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I would Trade JR + TY for ARob, yes. I’d also do the other trade. The better one for you depends on your roster needs and whether you are stronger at WR or Rb.

    Standard, 12-team, Long Td Bonuses

    I was offered:
    Mahomes
    Joshua Kelley
    Tyreek Hill
    DJ Chark

    for

    Kyler
    Malcolm Brown
    Mike Evans
    Allen Robinson

    RBs are: R. Jones, K. Hunt, J. Robinson, S. Michel, M. Brown, M. Breida, B. Hill,
    WRs are: M. Thomas, D. Adams, M. Evans, A. Robinson, M. Williams

    I’m worried I’m giving up too much value for a slight upgrade at QB. Thoughts?

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I would rather have Mahomes than Kyler. Brown/Kelley feels like a push. I’d rather have Tyreek than Evans, especially if I have Mahomes. I’d slightly rather have ARob than Chark. It’s a big trade and you don’t have to make trades just for the sake of doing it, but if I were forced to decide one side of the other, I think I take the Mahomes side. I’m not necessarily advising you take the deal, but I think you’ve been offered the better side.

  6. ↓ Post By QbRbWrTe

    Looking to trade for Michael Thomas, his owner also has Leveon so I thought a 2 for 1 to get Thomas might work. Who would you try to send his way?
    WR: OBJ, DJ Moore, Parris, CeeDee
    RB: Mark Ingram, Kareem, Dobbins, Akers, Snell, Mixon, A Gibson.
    You guys are the best!

    1. ↓ Post By gutsman004

      Not sure you should trade for Thomas as you would only have 3 healthy WRs on your team and with a high ankle sprain,who knows how long he could be out. You could try like a DJ Moore and Ingram but again,you’d be super thin at WR.

      1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

        Yep, not interested in trading for dudes with hi-ankles at the beginning of the season where it’s important to stack up wins.

  7. ↓ Post By mark51schichtel@gmail.com

    Looking to add a running back for the rest of the season. You guys higher on J.K. Dobbins or Montgomery for the rest of the year?

    1. ↓ Post By gutsman004

      I’ll take Dobbins on the much better offense.

  8. ↓ Post By DaBostonBeast

    Are there any draft Cheat sheets still available if so how do I find it? Life prevented me from getting any drafts done now I gotta get in at least 1, but I’m totally unprepared.

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      You can email our admin and she can send you one, but it will not be up to date – we don’t have cheat sheets for leagues drafting after a week has already happened. I’ll try to edit it a little if you ask her for one, please let her know whether it is standard/.5 PPR, PPR or superflex – rosterwatch@gmail.com

      1. ↓ Post By DaBostonBeast

        Thanks Alex. Will Do.
        Much appreciated

  9. ↓ Post By joballe31@yahoo.com

    Need your guys thoughts on a trade. Im in 12 team ppr. deep bench b/c of covid im dyer need of a qb. I have Daniel Jones now. I got offered Stafford for Ceedee Lamb. Should i let go of Ceedee??

    My Wideouts we start 3 Wrs

    Julio Jones
    Juju
    C.Ridley
    D. Chark
    Ceedee
    J.Crowder
    P. Campbell
    C. Davis

    1. ↓ Post By gutsman004

      Nice WRs! Honestly I’d try to package Ridley in with another player to get a mega stud. Honestly I’d hold Ceedee and see how he does with Jarwin now out. If he balls out this week,you can then get a better offer for him if you still want to trade him,

      1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

        Don’t get rid of CeeDee. Great WRs.

        1. ↓ Post By joballe31@yahoo.com

          Thanks guys appreciate it!!

    Drop Ruggs for Parris Campbell? I’m leaning yes but still ultimately undecided.

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      Is there literally no one else you can drop? I think both those guys are must-owns. If it looks like Ruggs is going to sit this week, I guess you could justify it, but do you have a backup QB or TE or bottom of the roster RB even that you could drop?

  11. ↓ Post By gutsman004

    Also could drop Jeudy for him as well.

  12. ↓ Post By gutsman004

    My bench is: Burrow,J. White,Pollard (own Zeke),Mattison,Hines,Gibson,Juedy,Ruggs. This league we get .5 per rush attempt and 1 point per completion.

  13. ↓ Post By gutsman004

    Oh and it’s 2 QB league too

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I’d drop Mattison for Campbell in a heartbeat. I’d also drop Pollard.

  14. ↓ Post By The Good Doc

    Alex, would you drop Hurst for a WR like Aiyuk, Reagor or Robby Anderson? Have Hockenson and Goedert as my TE’s and with the AJ Brown news I’m a little thin at WR. Probably going to plug your boy CeeDee in this week so the pickup is a bench move. Thanks!

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I would never roster 3 TEs, yes I would drop him for those guys even though I kinda think Hurst is going to bounce back at some point from last week.

  15. ↓ Post By MikeVegas

    Off topic.
    I’m going on record.
    I like Booger McFarland
    and
    Baker’s commercials.

      Love a contrarian take. Perfect for the Trashman comment section

  16. ↓ Post By ESal

    Is kerryon johnson droppable at this time? No one on your waiver wire cheat sheet is available besides Corey Davis. Looking for advice on whether to grab Davis for Johnson- thanks!

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      Esal:

      Sounds like you are in a deep league. I posted up on this site a few “look ahead” types that are 1 injury away. See if any of these guys are available

    Good morning RW nation.

    I need advice on one player to drop to pick up a Kicker:

    My team, 12 man league. 5ppr

    QB- Mahones, Newton
    RB- A Jones, Mostar, Gibson, Hines, Robinson. I have Bell and D Harris in IR slots.
    WR- Evans, Woods, Hollywood Brown, B Cooks, D Johnson, E Sanders.

    I’ve been trying to work a two for one trade, with littke success.

    Thanks for your assistance.

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      Gman;

      Nice team. Brandin Cooks can be dropped to p/u your K

  18. ↓ Post By ModestHippo123

    I’m loaded at RB: Zeke, Jacobs, Gurley (flex), but who should I start for my WR’s:

    Current start:
    C. Kupp
    E. Sanders
    P. Campbell

    Bench:
    C. Godwin (assuming concussion protocol)
    K. Allen
    C. sutton
    J. Brown

    Staff Rankings have Paris much higher than Trashman, but I think I like the matchups for paris and sanders this week…

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      I like the three you picked. Campbell is one of my fav starts this week. Very low floor bc Rivers is dicey but I think a 12 catch game is in the cards this season.

  19. ↓ Post By D Ron

    PPR league: Should I scoop up Emmanuel sanders cuz some bone head dropped him and drop which of the following
    My wrs: juju, Aj green, Parker, djax, ruggs
    My Rbs: eckler, mixon, Gurley, d Montgomery, moss, Gibson, Snell,
    Or do you think I should let sanders slide and keep what I got

  20. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

    D. Ron:

    I like the idea of picking up Sanders. AJG got a lot of targets but didn’t do much. Looked old to me. But I think you can drop DJax. He will have big weeks, but impossible to predict.

  21. ↓ Post By Aliveagain

    I was offered J. Taylor and M. Sanders for McCaffrey. What are your thoughts? I could probably ask for Dobbins too. What are your thoughts?

    1. ↓ Post By Aliveagain

      STD scoring

      I was also offered Barkley, A. Robinson and D. Parker for Aaron Jones, C. Ridley and Golladay. What are your thoughts?

      My team

      QB – J. Allen
      RB – McCaffrey, A. Jones, James Robinson, J. White, A. Gibson and J. McKinnon
      WR – Golladay, AJ Brown, Ridley, D. Jackson, W. Fuller, Gallup and Paris Campbell

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        I hate these kind of trades- there isn’t a clear benefit. I’d take the healthy players, and look at the matchups if I had to decide. See which guys have good upcoming matchups.

  22. ↓ Post By woo.jonathanwoo

    My RBs have me worried (perhaps prematurely) after losing Marlon Mack and Joe Mixon’s middling performance last night.

    Was just sent this offer.

    Receive: Austin Ekeler, OBJ
    Send: Davante Adams

    I’ll have Allen Robinson, DJ Moore and Calvin Ridley as next-in-lines.

    Thoughts?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Solid deal, as long as it doesn’t send Mixon to your bench, he’s still a starter.

  23. ↓ Post By chelomendez99@gmail.com

    12 team – .5 PPR league:
    QB- Mahones
    RB- Kamara, RoJo, Dobbins, Fournette, Gibson, Swift
    WR- Sanders, Hopkins, Ruggs, Sutton
    TE- Dallas

    I need to drop someone for a kicker OR try and come up with a 2 for 1 trade.

    What would you guys recommend? Thanks!

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      I don’t see how you can drop any of those people. Maybe target the AP owner with a 2:1 including Swift, or maybe a 2:1 w/ Dobbins to the Ingram owner. I might drop Ruggs if I absolutely had to drop somebody.

      1. ↓ Post By chelomendez99@gmail.com

        Great, thank you very much Byron!

  24. ↓ Post By Longlooper

    Trade Question
    I am thinking about offering David Johnson and Terry McLaurin for
    Kamara.?

    I am starting Barkley and Taylor as my RBs now and Hopkins, Theilen and Beckham as WR. Have Parris and Deebo in the bench.
    What do you think?

    1. ↓ Post By Longlooper

      I have Sneel, Robinson and Moss as my bench RBs

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        I think it’s a little rich- your team is good as is. I think McLaurin is a nice keep for you right now. If you could get Zeke, or CMC, or maybe even Henry I’d be more interested. Can you offer one of your bench RBs like Robinson or Moss + McLaurin for Joe Mixon?

  25. ↓ Post By Sanchez

    Need one for FLEX SPOT (1PPR):

    *David Johnson vs BAL
    *Hollywood Brown vs TEX
    * Parris Campbell vs MIN

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      I’d go with one of the WR, two good options. We like both, Brown will be higher in the rankings

      1. ↓ Post By Sanchez

        Thanks Byran!

  26. ↓ Post By beastmode

    I’m being offered Chubb, Malcom Brown and Devante Parker for Ekeler and Fuller. Should I do this trade?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Probably so- it depends somewhat on how much Malcolm Brown will mean to your roster. But in terms of equity- getting those 3 players is pretty good

      1. ↓ Post By beastmode

        I don’t really need Brown because I have Rojo, Zach Moss and Zeke and Pollard at RB already and would have to drop one to make that trade. Still worth doing?

  27. ↓ Post By Rusty

    0.5 ppr league

    Should I trade Sutton and Antonio Gibson for Cam Newton and Bennie Snell?

    Current team (start 1 QB, 2 WRs, and 2 RBs)

    QB: Brees, Rivers
    WR: TY, CD, Golladay, Sutton, A Miller
    RBs: Mixon, Ekeler, D Johnson, Gibson, Malcom Brown

  28. ↓ Post By bjosenhans

    need to play one RB and then any of the other 3 can flex (.5 PPR). which two should i play?

    Melvin Gordon – lindsey prob out but playing steelers
    Mark Ingram – could run on texans but Jk dobbins worries me
    Emanual Sanders – mike not playing
    Parris Campbell

  29. ↓ Post By DanMach

    I started Mixon.

    RB – Taylor
    WR – Mike Evans, DJ Moore
    Flex – ??? Miles Sanders, Hollywood Brown, Zack Moss?

    Considering a trade.
    Giving up
    -Carson
    -Watkins
    -Ruggs

    Getting
    -A Jones
    -Golladay

    I’ve got Godwin, Sutton, Lamb and Campbell as wideouts on my team do I think I can spare the depth to upgrade from Carson to Jones. Scared about Carson’s injury history and Hyde digging into his carries.
