Matt in KC

I would be shocked if Shaq got 20 snaps. My guess is 75% he is inactive this week and whatever game is first active he plays 3-5 snaps.

I expect Palmer will be as good as Stafford, in general, the rest of the season, but week by week one may clearly have an advantage.

Feel free to ask your week 7 Q's here as well. Pick 2, including one TE .5 PPR Martellus Bennett @PIT Travis Kelce at home against NO Frank Gore @ TEN - Gore has been playing well (consistently 10-15 points) but TEN looks stout against the run Chris Ivory - at home against the 31st ranked OAK run defense. I just picked him up. He i getting most of the RB snaps for JAC since he returned week 3.

I would trade to get Matt Stafford for Travis Benjamin, but not for Kelvin Benjamin.

That is close. I'd think CAM would be slightly preferable. Brady plays in Denver week 15. Is that when your playoffs start? I would much rather have CAM going against Washington that week to finish in the money, as happens in my league. They are close enough, maybe ask for more than just Brady in a counter-offer, if you think you need help getting to the playoffs.

I cancelled the trade after not hearing back for 24 hours. I really have no idea what is happening with OBJ, and there are worse problems than having too many startable players on my team. I figure the other guy saw my offer even though he didn't respond. He can get back to me if he wants like.

Yes, but I have: RB - David Johnson, LeSean McCoy, Frank Gore WR - Kelvin Benjamin, Brandon Marshall, Marvin Jones TE - Kelce, Bennett Since I can't play them all, I think the right thing is to try to upgrade one. With Jones slowing a bit too, this seems like a good move. I am a bit torn on the TE to give up though, and decided on Bennett. I hate routing for any Pats players, and my guess is he will be less consistent in the Pats game-plan, versus Kelce, though Kelce is past his bye, so I could just use a single roster spot there. Thanks for the feedback. My fear is likely the same as yours: OBJ is just going to muddle through the year with one or two big games, where maybe I don't even have him starting due to his dud weeks.

Okay, new trade offer. I made this offer and am now unsure if I am making a mistake. I can still cancel the offer, though that is bad form: I Get Odell Beckham He Gets Marvin Jones Martellus Bennett Note: I also have Kelce, who just finished his bye week. At WR I also have Kelvin Benjamin and Brandon Marshall. My opponent has Kyle Rudolph (on bye) only at TE. What do you think, is ODB coming back to his old ways this year? Should I just stick with the guys actually producing (though MJ is falling off from his high)?

Bills are half the show A tangle of orange fury maybe some football

I am ready for the Bills to sign Zach Brown to a long deal, even if it means we can't keep Gilmore.

I agree with "What a Tuel." I too am starting Bennett and expect a big week for him. My best guess is Gronk gets 4-5 catches for 2 TDs and Bennett gets 8 catches for 80-90 yards and a TD. I would probably play Winston, but really either could bomb this week. I could see the Panthers really bouncing back from last week's drubbing by the Falcons at home. (Is Flacco available?)

It definitely looks like West in the short run, Dixon in the long run. It just isn't clear how long that transition will take, but likely more than a game and less than a season.

50-50 = "Maybe we will, maybe we won't."

Bills 24, Rams 20

Thanks for the feedback. I am torn between sitting Gore and Marshall (or do I sit Benjamin if Newton doesn't play. . . ?). Gore has been doing well, but I am tempted by all of Marshall's targets (8-12 each game!) and the .5 PPR. Pittsburgh at home is going to be tough, but I don't know if that means they go pass-heavy for 3 quarters, and with Decker out, does that mean 15+ targets for Marshall? Right now I have Flacco as my starter, but I keep wondering if I am crazy. Last week I sat Ryan (vs CAR) for Flacco and left an additional 15 points on my bench. I have Denver as my defense and my opponent has Julio Jones, so that is actually pulling my wishes toward a Denver win at home, even though that shouldn't have anything to do with my decision....

Pick 5 (2RB, 2 WR, Flex) .5 PPR D. Johnson (@SF) L. McCoy (@LA) F. Gore (vs CHI) M. Jones (vs PHI) K. Benjamin (vs TB) B. Marshall (@PIT) QB (Pick 1) Matt Ryan (@DEN) J. Flacco (vs WAS) TE / Roster Question I have M. Bennett playing for T. Kelce (bye) On my bench I have W. Smallwood (RB PHI) and T. Williams (WR SD); K Dixon (RB BAL) on IR Someone just dropped Zach Miller (TE CHI) My opponent at TE has J. Graham and J. Thomas, both on bye this week Q: Should I pick up Zach Miller to block him? If so, drop who?

Start Palmer over Winston. Winston in Denver is not the right time to give him a try. Tough choice on your flex, a great problem to have with such good players. I would definitely sit Austin and Michael, and I would definitely start Beckham, Ingram and Gordon. The others Mike Evans - He is having a big year, and the Bucs might be behind and throwing most of the games. Can he dominate a Broncos secondary holding opposing WRs to 114 yards per game, 3rd best in the NFL? With 14 targets last week, that has to temp you in a PPR league. Kelvin Benjamin - I am starting him and think he will be targeted a lot, but last week's performance (for whatever reason) has to be worrying. 9/26" “Yeah, we’ve got to find a way to get him the ball more. That starts with me,” offensive coordinator Mike Shula said. “But we’ve got to make sure we’re doing it in a way that we’re not just trying to force him the ball.” Whatever that means. . . . Carlos Hyde - He is having a solid year, but doesn't get too many passes. Hyde has a better match up than Evans or Benjamin this week, against the Dallas 13th-worst rush defense (YpG). On average, most experts rank them Hyde over Benjamin over Evans this week. If it were me, I think I would sit Benjamin until it is clear he and Newton are back on the same page.

Bills 33 Pats 18 ---------------- Okay, to show I can be a real cynical Bills fan, my intuition points to something more like this: Bills go up by 14 on defensive TD at the start of the 2nd quarter Bills up by 7 at the half game still tied with 5 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter Bills lose by 17 after a TOP of only 3.5 minutes in the 4th quarter. Have a great day everyone, and enjoy the game this weekend!

It seems like the team is finally coming out of "preseason" after somewhat skipping the real preseason. Hopefully Dareus doesn't take until week 6 to start moving full speed all game...

Sadly this is not the first time this joke was made in the first 45 posts. (see post #7). The fan base is in tune with the fact that the bottom end or our receiving corps is competing with inanimate objects for a spot on the roster.

Bills 13 Cards 34

Kelvin Benjamin for sure. He didn't look 100% yet, but is still capable of putting up great numbers at that level. Healthy, he could be dominant,
