    Thinking about it more now, will it go through? Or does the two day trade reject deadline mean two full days i.e. trade accepted Friday 1500 (1500-2400 doesn't count), Saturday = Day 1, Sunday = Day 2?

    Apologies for being a bit dim on this! :o

    Morning mon 18th

    This is what is wrong with some leagues.

    You have 3 major players on BYE and you still sneak it.

    He won't win.

    Anyway... He has Matthews in there. Missing for a while

    Ryan Matthews is back this weekend


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,694 ✭✭✭Raoul


    Yeah but I presume that he has been in the guys team for a while despite not playing.

    If McCoy has a great game he'll still sneak it.
    It is frustrating as hell though. You scrape around to make a team and then that happens....
    I'd be calling shenanigans right there

    In fairness McCoy only has to have an average game and i would imagine he will be good to go. Can't see my K + DEF topping McCoy on a good day.

    Look at his DEF score....unheard of.


  • Registered Users Posts: 910 ✭✭✭PauloConn


    Yeah, that was an exceptional score alright. I wouldn't have bet against you at the start


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,694 ✭✭✭Raoul


    I actually missed he had McCoy. Yeah nothing worse than losing to that.

    In a keeper league and my season is over...would you take Peterson and a 9th round pick for Demarius Thomas?

    these leagues or so interesting as it really is more like the actual nfl, I would be very interested in taking AP as next season he comes in likely very fresh and we know he wont be banned next year. However short term he wins big so maybe look for a 5-6th round pick.

    How many players can you keep at end of season?

    Only 2. I originally had him but dropped him as I needed to win some games and it didn't work out.

    No. Demarius is probably a 1st rounder anyway and who knows what's happening with AP

    What round would you keep AP or Thomas in?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,642 ✭✭✭Deco99


    Is it worth picking up AP? any chance he plays before end of season?

    Prob not but a gamble to take if you're playoff bound with a spare roster spot

    Just read he may be back by December, and hopefully he just took up that spare spot and i may be playoff bound. Getting rid of Ronnie Hillman, supposedly injured and last two games its become obvious Manning isnt a fan.

    I guessed he would be reinstated alright. The only fear I would of had really is would the vikes play him from a pr standpoint? They are not in a real playoff hunt and mkinnon is performing well


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,694 ✭✭✭Raoul


    Further on to my keeper league. Got offered a trade of DT, Edelman and Kelce for Matt Forte and a 2nd round pick. Think I might take this one. You could argue Forte is almost as good as DT.

    Almost as good? He's a top 5 pick every year

    Just a question that occurred in my mind as i was setting my lineup in the keeper league this morning. In a keeper league is it acceptable in some cases to start a player on a bye? Sometimes I wonder whether the long term success of the team would be better if I could hold onto a player and take the points hit for that particular week rather than dropping him for someone weaker just so i can have a full lineup.

    it's obviously not something I'd do in the normal divisions but the keeper leagues bring up a new set of scenarios.

    Any thoughts?

    I'd do it in a normal league nevermind a keeper league. The goal is to the win the league, not one single game. In a different league I played Bernard on a bye because I didn't want to drop him or anyone on my bench because my team is balanced really well.

    Got this in offer for julius thomas .

    Antonio gates, a first, fourth and fifth for next draft.

    I have Zach Ertz and Owen Daniels as my back up tight ends.

    I could probably let him go but I'm not sure as I know he will be a star for years

    I start bye week players in keeper leagues all the time if Im not comfortable dropping guys that I could possibly hang on to down the road

    I'd take that for gronk lets you rebuild, the only problem with thomas he can go games without manning looking his way, might try see if i can turn the 4th and 5th into a second rounder for 2016 actually

    Add to that gates being on the way out. Will you get much more than this year? Thomas is a stud. Top 3 player... id be lookin for similar to what I got considering gronks injury history. If you don't get a deal that leaves u happy, so what? You have a stud TE going forward.
    Every te has quite games

    quite games is one thing but 3 in a row! plus i think ertz will become a stud if he can get into a programme that throws to TE's and have daniels with ravens, ah i counter offered we'll see!
