That's how I feel too. It's on Gronk. I probably make this trade too, I'm just saying as a non DJ owner, I'm looking to snatch him.

I agree, I tried to get DJ also because he is definitely worth the risk...but as a Kerryon owner, after these last couple weeks, I don't think I would trade him. Also the leagues I have him in are keeper leagues and Kerryon has a lot of value to me.

You guys have any good fantasy podcasts to listen to?

The Footballers is my favorite, they are entertaining and give great info. The FantasyPros podcast is also good. They give a lot of info and analysis. IMO those two podcasts have the most knowledgeable people on them.

I'm a fan of kerryon as well. Probably wouldn't have traded him either, especially after the Tate trade. Only problem is blount getting the red zone carries.

I listen to those two. Footballers is certainly my favorite. I also listen to Harris, who is like listening to nails on a chalkboard, but does have good analysis. I'm not really a fan of his advice though because he's too conservative. Plus he likes to jerk himself off over how great he is, but he does watch the games. The others I listen to are basically just to pass the time at work. They don't really give me much. Just basic advice.

Off to a nice start with Kittle. My opponent is insanely stacked.

I'm in such a tough spot this week, I have to start Ito or Dion Lewis. Luckily, I am playing the worst team in the league this week. I think he's given up, he might not even set his lineup.

I hate that personally. I'd start Lewis. Just seems like he'll get more work. Both are going up against pretty tough defenses though.

You thought you were slick.

Never start the defense of a team that wants to lose, no matter how juicy the matchup. Let this be a lesson, sir

I heard some pods talk about this, and basically all agreed it was a bad idea lol. I picked up Dallas for this week. I almost benched Kittle when I heard Mullens was starting, then I was like, why the fuck would I bench one of the best TEs in the league?

Dallas has the best ppg against in the nfc. I was shocked to hear this. They haven't allowed more than 24 points. I picked them up because I expect a low scoring game. I don't think they'll get many sacks or tos.

I'm thinking of trading Mahomes. Would you trade Mahomes/Cooks/Collins for Rodgers/OBJ? I think I can make that deal. My personal thinking is that Rodgers and OBJ have easier schedules (though I think Mahomes is matchup proof), I avoid two week 12 byes, and I also avoid the worry that both guys don't play in full in week 16. Plus OBJ is just an upgrade. I kind of hate giving up Collins though because of his schedule, but I have Aaron Jones/Zeke/Dalvin Cook, and Edelman probably stays in my flex. Thoughts?

It's not a bad trade....you will lose out on the potentially of Mahomes having those ridiculous games but overall it's relatively even between Mahomes and Rodgers. OBJ is an upgrade to Cooks, don't like the offense OBJ is in, but he is pretty consistent. I would try to do the trade without Collins...if he wont do it or it gets vetoed than throw Collins in

That's what I was thinking as well. Honestly, I don't think it matters because there's no way I get this trade to go through whether he accepts our not. Mahomes gives me such a great advantage, and Rodgers has the bears in week 15. Feels like bad juju. Maybe I could try cooks/Collins for obj. I don't see that happening either.
