How do we do fantasy face off ourselves? What app do you use to see budgets?

[@JRobGCTeamEnergy]

Guys, I’m in the same boat as Mike 😂. So I really need some help here boys 🤣. I have 2 questions, I play in a half PPR 10 man league, where we get bonus pts for big plays. Our roster construction belongs in a special ed class, cause for some reason our commish only lets us roster 2 QB’s, 4 RB’s, 4 WR’s, 2 TE’s, and also 2 Def and 2 Kickers.. We start 2 Wr and a flex. So there’s pretty decent guys out there on the waiver wire. Guys like C. Watson, D. Johnson, Jameson Williams, ect. I have Chris Olave, Amari Cooper, Rashee Rice, and Calvin Ridley at WR. CMC, Josh Jacobs, Najee, and Pollard at RB.. now here’s the questions.. I’m HEAVILY debating on potentially dropping Amari Cooper OR Calvin Ridley for Jameson Williams. I could genuinely see Jameo being drafted in the first 4 rounds in next years draft, potentially becoming a high end WR 2 for the Lions, similar to a player like DeVonta Smith or Tee Higgins/Jaylen Waddle. Those kinda guys considering the Lions offense is SO SO SO much better than the Browns or Titans offenses. Am I insane for wanting to do this after week 1? Cause if I don’t pick him up now, I can almost guarantee someone will grab him this week. & My other question is very similar but for the RB position. The 49’ers offense is SO potent, that I genuinely think that even having the backup for the 9’ers may be a better fill in option than a Najee or Pollard play IF CMC is out again this week. Do I drop a Najee Harris or Tony Pollard for a Jordan Mason just to lock down that 49’ers RB spot? Cause I’m heavily debating both. But it kinda sucks cause there’s like 4-5 different moves I should really try to make this week.

[@JRobGCTeamEnergy]

& My commish decided to move waivers to Tuesday and 7:00 we have to have our claims in by then. So I have 3 hours to make up my mind and I am literally confused as I possibly could be.

[@broadwayphotovideo]

Once Rogers locks in on a comfortable fit with a receiver, they will get a lot of targets. I’m adding him wherever I can find a loser last round pick to dump.

[@andrewlowden322]

28:23 in my Megalabowl Team I started with CMC, then late round drafted Zamir White and Javonte Williams....Jason you moving with some words of knowledge here

[@Bobberino22]

Hot take: You should always prioritize currently startable players over players than need injury to become relevant later (in response to Bigsby v McGlaughlin). Consolidating starting assets will help drive the trade market. If somebody can easily pivot to a FA what incentive do they have to pay up?

[@dilloncoleman480]

They absolutely do sift in a mine!!! Justice for Jason!

[@ravencardwell8281]

I need help… should I start Amari cooper or tank Dell week 2?

[@-alostsoul-6902]

I'm convinced that kickers should be made flex eligible in leagues with kickers. Especially after this week with the multitude of guys hammering multiple 50 yarders. Like how's a kicker any different from a boom/bust WR? Who'd you rather have this past Sunday. Gabe Davis or Brandon Aubrey? Curtis Samuel or Boswell? Hollywood Brown if he had played or Moody? If leagues are gonna have kickers then make it fun

[@DinkFloyd94]

Honestly surprised by the take to not drop Brooks but drop Rico. Panthers were abysmal - tough for me to think a rookie coming in week 5 after an ACL tear will be able to do much in a potential time share

[@notquitekeanu]

Why even drop Brooks when you can keep him stashed on your IR?

[@XxSolvexX]

If players don’t have an IR spot in their league then Brooks was a wasted pick taking up space

[@marcosbrown7467]

My question is how long do you give guys like Drake London and Calvin Ridley before you panic and drop them? Also, if you were one of the genius people who drafted Mason, would you consider trading him or should you just hold him?

[@redizit]

Love hearing peoples top waiver wire picks and LOVE the fact I already drafted them and are on my bench.. small flex 💪

[@ubersoldat91]

Tank honestly looked pretty explosive. He was bruising for extra yards too.

Mike, thank you for making me feel better about my team 😂

[@JBB2018]

What to do with McCaffey... would you trade McCaffrey and Hollywood Brown for Breece Hall and Drake London? Half ppr

[@dzuke2910]

Im in my first season of an ongoing dynasty league and the team I took over was AWFUL. Didnt have a draft pick for 3 years. But in this offseason I picked up Jordan Mason after Mitchell was injured and I was just able to trade him last night for a 2nd & 3rd rd pick in '25 and a 2nd in '26. I dont really have any starting RBs on my squad even with all the maneuvering Ive done so trading him was tough, but I felt like I needed to take advantage of his value being as high as it is now to get the future value.

[@DamienVelasquez-d8c]

Guy in my league dropped Hollywood brown. Would you drop Adonai Mitchell or Christian Kirk to pick him up?

[@charlieOG90]

Fam, I need some help... My RB1 is Pacheco and RB2 is Javonte. My bench RB's are weak early season with high upside (Corum, Allgeir, J. Brooks - on IR). 12 team superflex league. I can't start any of my bench RB's with confidence as my RB2. Waivers for RB sorted by projected week 2 pts = Mattison, J. Hill, T. Chandler, T. Bigsby, B. Irving, and so on. Do I go with Javonte for another week? Or pivot to one of those waiver RB's? Tough.

[@diffizzle8630]

Mattison could be a good choice. Raiders will be down against the ravens so he’ll be in the game getting some volume. Long term it’d probably be Bigsby or Irvin but nobody knows what’s gonna happen

[@Salohcin_x]

Two questions for anyone willing to provide some perspective: 1. What do you think is the appropriate time for waivers to clear? For context, I’m in a 16-team dynasty league and my co-commish has it set for waivers to clear at midnight. Just about every other league I’ve ever been in has it set to clear at 6am-9am the following morning. His argument is “it’s the end of the day” and setting it for the next morning doesn’t benefit anyone. 2. A different 12-team dynasty league is discussing whether or not to have free agency set on gamedays (Sun, Mon, and Thu) and waivers the rest of the week to help accommodate owners that have last minute players ruled out and allow them to find a proper replacement. This is a league with a 16 spot bench and 10 taxi. I’m of the belief that a player that is at risk of missing time will be known for multiple days, thus creating a sense of strategy that is not uncommon in fantasy. It’s incredibly rare for a startable player to be considered completely healthy then scratched on gameday. Sorry for the info dump just wanted to be thorough! Appreciate any advice!

[@brendan7704]

How do you not bring up Lazards 2 TDs in the Monday Night recap or mention him in the waivers? Where would you place him if your options are him or someone like Cooks?

I relate to Mike. That was me last year. What sucks most is that no one will trade for injured players. If they do, the offer sucks. You can't drop them either because they could come back next week and be good.

Yeah, that's frustrating. Most of the guys they mentioned were drafted in my 12 team leagues so this episode didn't do much for me. Seems to me Lazard is a legit 2 but I don't know how that plays out. Pierce is a mystery to me. he only got 3 targets and Downs is coming back so it doesn't seem like we should put much stalk in him - but I would have loved to hear their take on him rather than Worthy, who is drafted in most leagues as far as I can tell.
