Rodgers seems like the obvious choice to me. IMO, if you have Rodgers, you shouldn't even be considering another QB. And if you are, you should be trying to trade Rodgers to upgrade other spots.

It's entirely possible to have a 2nd QB that could outscore Rodgers depending on matchups and scoring. There's like a million TD passes every week now.

Go with Rodgers.

Correct. I just think with the draft pick that was probably used on Rodgers, injury concerns aside, you shouldn't have a second QB on your team.

Only caveat is that its a 6pt/TD league and we get bonuses for 300 and 400 yard games. Only reason I'm even considering. I still thing I'm leaning Rodgers.

And I'm not ready to give up one of the QBs just yet. Rodgers is coinflip fragile as of late. Rather have a reliable backup this early in the season.

Aside from his status as a top-three QB, I would go with Rodgers because I can't see Belichick getting pantsed by a branch of his coaching tree.

In my money league, I suffered an epic bad beat last week. I had a four point lead with the game almost completely over. CBS rated it as 99% chance of winning. My opponent had only Seattle tight end Will Disley playing. He had done exactly NOTHING up to that point in the game. Seattle gets the ball with time for only one garbage time possession. So Disley catches two passes just before time runs out. One for thirty yards and the other for a touchdown. Fuck me.

One of the Skins' games was against the Cardinals. That doesn't count.

Is it just my perception, or is most of the league unable to run the ball this year? Browsing boxscores, it seems like very low rushing totals in most games, and the preseason RB2s are mostly duds so far.

I don't think it's unable, I just think the NFL is becoming like the college game. get a bunch of guys who can do stuff in space and see what happens.

What do you think about me selling Devonta Freeman to buy LeVeon Bell? I'm kicking it around because I feel like I need to shake things up and gambling on Bell's return could pay off big, because I don't think I'm challenging with the squad I have now.

It's a gamble, and one I probably wouldn't take.

If they collude to keep Kaepernick out, wouldn;t these owners collude to not reward a player who pulls a move like this?

If you're not challenging as is, doesn't punting a few weeks make you even less likely to sneak into the playoffs and then run through them?

Two of the three - Nick Chubb, LeSean McCoy, Matt Breida.

Leaning towards Chubb and McCoy.

I like this site for that sort of thing. You enter the names of two guys you are considering starting, and they give you the consensus choice of over a hundred fantasy guys whose rankings they survey, with the percentages for each of your two guys. It's called Fantasy Pros.

Nice!

I'm just so psyched about Chubb though - tried to dump him Thursday for Marlon Mack, but couldn;t do it.

Now I'm thinking Rookie of the Year!

Guy offered me Gronk for Cooks.

Inclined to reject it, even though I am currently starting the Jets TE Herndon.

ETA: My other WRs are Juju, Funchess, Firtzgerald and Christian Kirk (Go Cards!)
