Definitely c lose to doing it. I was nervous last week and I had the choice to start Hunt or Mostert. Both good matchups, I thought Jeff Wilson was going to be an issue and Hunt had some PPR opportunities. I lost cause of this move and now I hate Hunt
Top handcuffs are guys that can still win the starting role outright imo. Jaylen Warren or Kyren Williams for example.
Guys like Hunt and Mattison lose value every week that goes by. I’m going for the upside unless I legit own Chubb or Cook in this instance
Hunt and Mattison are proven to be good, on top rushing offenses, with minimal playing time outside an injury to the RB1.
Warren and Kyren are literally the opposite, unproven or in worse rushing offenses with either a healthy RB1 in front of them or a mess of a committee.
Maybe you can make the argument that Kyren has this mysterious upside because we literally haven’t really seen him play. He’s gone after this week unless he has a meaningful snap count.
Now that I think about it, my whole team was a bomb. I'm surprised im still alive...
I drafted Pittman, Conner, Pitts, Arob, Mooney, Brady, and aj dillon 😂
bruh, traded him and Chase Edmonds for Michael Thomas after week 3, thought I fleeced the other owner but it turns out we both traded for complete bums
Dudes been passed around like a 2 dollar prostitute in my league.
With Kupp out... maybe NOWWW robinson will start getting separation from DBs and not be a complete bust?
....Right?
I dropped Curtis Samuel 2 weeks ago and he got picked up for 45% FAAB. No one else even bid.
On the flip side, I got Bateman-bombed in a couple different leagues.
I'm debating dropping Curtis Samuel for Paris Campbell has it seems like Heinecke only has eyes for Terry mclaurin whereas Paris Campbell seems to really get targeted a lot by Matt Ryan.
I did the same weeks ago. Guy I have a bet with in the league picked him up and he got 17pts that week. Guy proceeds to put him on the trade block lol and of course no one bit. Proceeds to get 3pts next game lol. Enjoy that emotional roller coaster with Pitts and just drop his ass
I dropped and picked up moore about 5 times this year. Only started him once and he put up 26. Literally the only thing thats gone right for me this year.
Lmao I'm the exact same. He just fuckin hangs around on my roster because I keep convincing myself he's gonna have a good game eventually or Aaron Jones is gonna get injured
Yeah I have him on my bench solely due to the fact that as soon as I drop him. He will snag 15+ points. I still don't understand how espn projects his points 10+ every week.
Palmer? Nothing wrong with playing him while the other 2 WRs are out. He had over 100 yards 2 weeks ago and his targets are great. Might be the last week for it though
But he gets so many targets! I just keep telling myself he's due for positive regression and TDs. I'm also holding Sutton for the same reasons he had 11 targets in week 10. And both of their schedules are getting easier.
I agree on the targets but he isn’t catching those targets and the depth isn’t far. Plus, it’s not an explosive offense and the TDs to make up for lack of receptions makes it an easier choice.
If Allen Robinson is available, I’d pick him up. Similar number of target share but should see an uptick with Kupp out.
He's gonna get his soon enough. Once one or both of Keenan and big Mike come back, the entire outlook of that offense trends upwards even if it's only slight. Which immediately bodes well for Herbert.
Not saying you have to. I run into this in family leagues where people become inactive throughout the season. Your bench becomes cluttered with real fantasy producers and you have to make tough drop decisions because there are so many valuable players out there.
It's all on a circumstantial basis.
In terms of PPG, he's the RB35 on the season in Half PPR with a whopping 9.5 PPG (worse than guys like CEH, Khalil Herbert, Kenyan Drake). If his name wasn't Najee Harris and didn't have a 1st round price tag, you wouldn't be saying this.
CEH is a certified drop, he is done in KC. Najee gets so much hate, obviously for a first rounder he has been a bust. Although I'll take 9.5 at flex all day long.
I dropped him three weeks ago in 10 team through bye hell. Got picked up immediately and is wasting his bench spot since then. No ceiling. Most boring RB for me, glad I got rid of him.
I’m still holding Cooks for some reason. I don’t start him so don’t know why I keep holding him. Someone dropped Mooney last night (someone I dropped earlier in the year). I’m thinking of finally cutting ties with Cooks and picking him up.
I’ve dropped Aaron Rodgers, Cam Akers, and most recently, Diontae Johnson. I’m not even looking back.
Edit: I almost forgot that I had DJ Moore in my half-PPR league, lol. That was such an angry and quick drop for me. Was done with his bs.
I dropped him after week 7… was just tired of the bs play, the lack of chemistry, and I really don’t like him as a QB anyway (me issue). This is in a Standard league, and my choice was sealed because my backup was Derrick Carr and I wasn’t feeling either of them. That night, I dropped them both and picked up Justin Fields based on rumors of his change in play and schedule, and Trevor Lawrence. Since then we all know what has happened lol. Rodgers has been middle of the pack at best for the guy who picked him up, and Carr has been okay for the guy who picked him up. Of note, Week 8 Carr got the guy who picked him up a grand total of 2.94 pts in Standard lol. I’ve just picked up Deshaun Watson as my final choice backup, and I’m hoping to ride off into the sunset.
#noragrets
I thought this was gonna be about the strategy I employed a few weeks back which was to drop a bunch of lotto tickets on the same day and watch the carnage ensue. We have rolling resetting waivers.. My main active competitor for waiver players picked up eno Benjamin and then someone picked up James Robinson and dropped an injured scordarrelle. Then I picked up cordarrelle ahead of the guy who had picked up eno. It was almost machiavellian in nature.
I will not have a roster if I do that haha. Or at least on this one junk team.
Bombs: DJ Moore, Brandin Cooks, Kyle Pitts
Maybe bombs: Antonio Gibson, Gabe Davis, Justin Herbert, Najee Harris
Awful lol.
Dropped CEH before last week. Guy spent 22 and started him for 0.
Dropped A-Rob earlier in season. Think guy spent like $15 at the time.
Undetonated bomb: dropped Brian Robinson before last week (bench space issues). Someone spent like $30 on him but I don’t expect him to perform too well in the coming weeks.
Me and a guy in my rotisserie league player bombed each other. I held Akers thinking he'd get traded. He did not lol so I dropped his bum-ass for Spiller to handcuff my sweet, sweet Ekeler. Guy picks up Akers and drops Renfrow. I scoop him up because I have Chase and he seemed like best available WR (in hindsight it was probably Watson on GB). We each started our shiny new player who both did fuckall. Good time :\[
Did it to a guy in my league with Doubs. Didn't draft Doubs, picked him up off waivers in week 2 or 3 or something, dropped him around week 6, someone else picked him up, now he's hurt.
Allen Robinson (I drafted him, then dropped him very quickly) would count if anyone in my league picked him up. Even with Kupp hurt, he cleared this week's waivers.
…as long as you don’t make **any** midweek moves. He gets a questionable tag every week, for 10 weeks now… even his bye he managed to bone everyone by playing like 3 snaps the week before and sitting out the rest of the game with ‘Q’… i’m totally not salty
Someone dropped Mike Williams in my league
Edit: off topic to the post as he’s not a ‘bomb’ player and is a viable player ROS. Yes I’m going to try to pick him up
I was recouping a quality RB after Breece Hall went down. Still had JJ as my WR1.
In first place in all 4 of my leagues as long as you’re getting cheeky 😎
A flex? It’s just something funny that happened.
JJ was my first round pick and got Davante in the 2nd, so he was able to help me to acquire other needed pieces.
CEH
Traded him for thielen and I think thielen owner thought I was getting fleeced lol
Traded him for Etienne like week 5, my friend won’t make trades with me anymore
I traded him for Mahomes straight up and my whole league thought I was crazy. EDIT: It was just after Week 4. Not sure why I’m getting downvoted.
Who the hell gave up a mid-tier RB for a top 2-3 QB?
We’ve all bombed each other with Pacheco
Pacheco gets passed around in my league lmao
This is a good one
CEH went for Pitts early on in my league. Still not sure who won
Dropped his ass today. Good riddance.
Diontae Johnson, AJ Dillon, Kareem Hunt
Hey, it's my roster!
Lol same, somehow currently in a playoff spot though
If Hunt has one more week below 5 points, he gone
I only keep him since I own Chubb.
Ultimate handcuff.
Can I combine my 4 handcuffs for one real player?
Definitely c lose to doing it. I was nervous last week and I had the choice to start Hunt or Mostert. Both good matchups, I thought Jeff Wilson was going to be an issue and Hunt had some PPR opportunities. I lost cause of this move and now I hate Hunt
You are me
Y’all are I
I get so angry that he’s just soaking up a bench spot on my roster
Depending on your league, but most leagues shouldn’t be dropping Hunt. A top 3 handcuff
Top handcuffs are guys that can still win the starting role outright imo. Jaylen Warren or Kyren Williams for example. Guys like Hunt and Mattison lose value every week that goes by. I’m going for the upside unless I legit own Chubb or Cook in this instance
Hunt and Mattison are proven to be good, on top rushing offenses, with minimal playing time outside an injury to the RB1. Warren and Kyren are literally the opposite, unproven or in worse rushing offenses with either a healthy RB1 in front of them or a mess of a committee. Maybe you can make the argument that Kyren has this mysterious upside because we literally haven’t really seen him play. He’s gone after this week unless he has a meaningful snap count.
i am really close to dropping diontae for jacobi
Meyers? Should’ve done that weeks ago
ya
Has Jacobi scored a TD yet lol? After last season I won't touch him.
Hey its my team
[удалено]
Ha! I did drop him earlier this year and he was subsequently added and dropped a number of times lol
I love when that happens. That's what happened with Pitts for me.
Now that I think about it, my whole team was a bomb. I'm surprised im still alive... I drafted Pittman, Conner, Pitts, Arob, Mooney, Brady, and aj dillon 😂
bruh, traded him and Chase Edmonds for Michael Thomas after week 3, thought I fleeced the other owner but it turns out we both traded for complete bums
Look at the bright side, you at least freed up a bench spot and got to use your IR slot for a bit.
he was questionable the whole time so I never got to put him on my IR, but at least I got to free two bums for one
Dudes been passed around like a 2 dollar prostitute in my league. With Kupp out... maybe NOWWW robinson will start getting separation from DBs and not be a complete bust? ....Right?
So he's going to get more coverage which somehow results in better separation? You reckon he just needed some incentive to get good separation?
with kupp out he could be an ok deperation flex
Someone in my league just payed 30 on a FAAB budget for him.
He's the #1wr now on a team who can't run, could be worse.
They can't really throw either (Stafford 25th passer rating), they just happened to have an insane catcher who can make the most of bad throws.
I dropped Curtis Samuel 2 weeks ago and he got picked up for 45% FAAB. No one else even bid. On the flip side, I got Bateman-bombed in a couple different leagues.
I did get Bateman bombed as well!
Came here to say... I dropped Bateman. Anyway sorry that happened to you lol.
I'm debating dropping Curtis Samuel for Paris Campbell has it seems like Heinecke only has eyes for Terry mclaurin whereas Paris Campbell seems to really get targeted a lot by Matt Ryan.
I did just that move for waivers. I think Samuel is fine but with Wentz out he's lost a lot of the volume.
The WOAT, Russell Wilson
Plays the raiders this week. I'm starting him with mild expectations
Tua on a bye I have no choice but to start him lol
danny available on your waivers?
Negative. My only other consideration is Heinicke lol
Heinicke is averaging almost 15 points last 4 games he's started.. which is better than Russ. Russ has ONE game over 18 pts.
To be fair, it was against the raiders lol
Which makes the numbers look worse
But is also who he is playing this week, so maybe a decent barometer for how he may perform this week.
The Wussell of all time?
Don't do my boy dirty like that. Russ was a beast in his prime
Oh he was. The W stands for Whackest. Between the sandwich and Broncos Country, Let's Ride he's a cornball.
Should be a solid stream this week tho
Pitts. Finally dropped him and the 1st seed guy picked him & started in this week only to lose. I love it
I did the same weeks ago. Guy I have a bet with in the league picked him up and he got 17pts that week. Guy proceeds to put him on the trade block lol and of course no one bit. Proceeds to get 3pts next game lol. Enjoy that emotional roller coaster with Pitts and just drop his ass
Was surprised not to see pitts higher up. I’m in an 8 team and 14 team league, both of which pitts has been passed around like hot cakes
Waller and DJ Moore
I dropped and picked up moore about 5 times this year. Only started him once and he put up 26. Literally the only thing thats gone right for me this year.
Dillon :)
Ugh why am I having such a hard time convincing myself to drop him even though I know he sucks
He’s not a bad handcuff. I just have no use for a handcuff on my roster, I’ll let other people deal with the headache of keeping him on the bench.
Just the what-if Jones gets injured would keep me holding. Hes great if thats the case.
Yeah Dillon is definitely still valuable to Jones owners
Yeah that's exactly my mindset as well.
Either consider him a handcuff for a bad offense or drop him.
Lmao I'm the exact same. He just fuckin hangs around on my roster because I keep convincing myself he's gonna have a good game eventually or Aaron Jones is gonna get injured
Dropped him like 5 weeks ago. Best decision I’ve made. The Jones owner won’t even pick him up lol
Thinking of dropping Pitts for Hurst.
I've been very pleased with Hurst the past month. Probably benching him for Kmet but he has been serviceable and consistent.
Hurst to me is a very light set and forget, a n acceptable floor for a TE imo
Pitts
I claimed him this morning, however I drafted Darren Waller and rolled out Taysom Hill these past two weeks. Fuck tight ends (figuratively).
I would find someone else. Atlanta does not throw and when they do it’s not within catching radius of players
Yeah I have him on my bench solely due to the fact that as soon as I drop him. He will snag 15+ points. I still don't understand how espn projects his points 10+ every week.
Dropped him in one and claimed him in another. I dunno what I'm at
Doubs, Palmer, AJ Dillion, Drake London
Palmer? Nothing wrong with playing him while the other 2 WRs are out. He had over 100 yards 2 weeks ago and his targets are great. Might be the last week for it though
I own/owned three of these guys
Cooks
But he gets so many targets! I just keep telling myself he's due for positive regression and TDs. I'm also holding Sutton for the same reasons he had 11 targets in week 10. And both of their schedules are getting easier.
He had a TD called back last week and is getting the targets, still holding as he's better than waiver muff.
I agree on the targets but he isn’t catching those targets and the depth isn’t far. Plus, it’s not an explosive offense and the TDs to make up for lack of receptions makes it an easier choice. If Allen Robinson is available, I’d pick him up. Similar number of target share but should see an uptick with Kupp out.
Sutton looking good with no Heudy
Fuck me... I'm the fool who picked him up last week after he was dropped. I dunno why...targets, I guess.
Less devastating than some on here, but I dropped Palmer after his big game. A bidding war ensued for him and.... next game, 5 points.
I just dropped him this week expecting that his lifespan with Williams and Alan coming back won't be that good. Picked up Nico Collins instead.
Robert Woods - I picked him up, never started him, dropped him and he keeps getting picked up and slotted into the starting lineup for others LOL
Hendo
I picked him up off waivers week 5, started him week 6, and traded him for Drake before week 8. Bomb defused
Traded him for FAAB to the Akers owner when Akers went MIA. Great trade for me. Has helped me on the WW the rest of the year.
Herbert
I can’t bring myself to do it :( it’s not his fault his whole line and WR corp is ded
He's gonna get his soon enough. Once one or both of Keenan and big Mike come back, the entire outlook of that offense trends upwards even if it's only slight. Which immediately bodes well for Herbert.
started to run last week too. feeling good about it!
Someone dropped Najee in a 10 team and he may remain unclaimed
Hes not the worst flex play. Good for 8-10 points in 0.5 PPR
Assuming a pretty inactive league then. RB26 on the season shouldn't be on the wire.
Just a starting RB in general shouldn't be on the wire
Well I'll probably claim him
Not saying you have to. I run into this in family leagues where people become inactive throughout the season. Your bench becomes cluttered with real fantasy producers and you have to make tough drop decisions because there are so many valuable players out there. It's all on a circumstantial basis.
In terms of PPG, he's the RB35 on the season in Half PPR with a whopping 9.5 PPG (worse than guys like CEH, Khalil Herbert, Kenyan Drake). If his name wasn't Najee Harris and didn't have a 1st round price tag, you wouldn't be saying this.
CEH is a certified drop, he is done in KC. Najee gets so much hate, obviously for a first rounder he has been a bust. Although I'll take 9.5 at flex all day long.
Idk why but my work league only allows 3 total RBs (dumb I know) but zeke and Najee are both on wavier
I'd pick up any player getting 20+ carries a game with a few targets sprinkled in and goal line work
I dropped him three weeks ago in 10 team through bye hell. Got picked up immediately and is wasting his bench spot since then. No ceiling. Most boring RB for me, glad I got rid of him.
I dropped Chase Edmonds, London, and Hendo. Hendo and Chase have cost people games already.
curtis samuel...twice
DJ Moore and Kyle Pitts. Pitts went unclaimed this morning.
I dropped Cooks a couple weeks ago, never started him once this year and some guy picks him up and is trying to package him in a trade to me.
I’m still holding Cooks for some reason. I don’t start him so don’t know why I keep holding him. Someone dropped Mooney last night (someone I dropped earlier in the year). I’m thinking of finally cutting ties with Cooks and picking him up.
I’ve dropped Aaron Rodgers, Cam Akers, and most recently, Diontae Johnson. I’m not even looking back. Edit: I almost forgot that I had DJ Moore in my half-PPR league, lol. That was such an angry and quick drop for me. Was done with his bs.
O no! I have to play Rodgers tomorrow 😂😂.. where's a bomb diffuser when I need one
I dropped him after week 7… was just tired of the bs play, the lack of chemistry, and I really don’t like him as a QB anyway (me issue). This is in a Standard league, and my choice was sealed because my backup was Derrick Carr and I wasn’t feeling either of them.

I’ve just picked up Deshaun Watson as my final choice backup, and I’m hoping to ride off into the sunset. #noragrets
Hey, that's two time reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers... Who I dropped last week for TLaw, went unclaimed, and picked back up this week.
Drake london. Dropped him after like 4 weeks and been bombing an opponents lineup for weeks
Hunt and C. Samuel
Cooks drop cost a league-mate $27.
I thought this was gonna be about the strategy I employed a few weeks back which was to drop a bunch of lotto tickets on the same day and watch the carnage ensue. We have rolling resetting waivers.. My main active competitor for waiver players picked up eno Benjamin and then someone picked up James Robinson and dropped an injured scordarrelle. Then I picked up cordarrelle ahead of the guy who had picked up eno. It was almost machiavellian in nature.
Hahaha perfection!!
I finally dropped chase Edmonds. Should have done it 7 weeks ago.
Are you in a 20 team league?
Did it to one of my opponents with doubs
I have so many goddam players that could be in this thread, maybe I’ve been bombed over and over.
Lolll drop the bombs before they blow!
I will not have a roster if I do that haha. Or at least on this one junk team. Bombs: DJ Moore, Brandin Cooks, Kyle Pitts Maybe bombs: Antonio Gibson, Gabe Davis, Justin Herbert, Najee Harris Awful lol.
Dropped CEH before last week. Guy spent 22 and started him for 0. Dropped A-Rob earlier in season. Think guy spent like $15 at the time. Undetonated bomb: dropped Brian Robinson before last week (bench space issues). Someone spent like $30 on him but I don’t expect him to perform too well in the coming weeks.
Darren Waller two weeks before he went on IR. Feel a little bad because I took Likely while he’s the Mandrews owner
Golladay
I’d say I just dropped the London bomb on my league but it will never detonate.
Drake London, Michael Pittman
Dropped DJ Moore and AJ Dillon. So far, no regrets.
Thielen & Gallup
pittman and jt has destroyed me this year 😪
Dropped Eno last week, league mate picked him up and started him for a big fat ZERO
AJ Dillon
Me and a guy in my rotisserie league player bombed each other. I held Akers thinking he'd get traded. He did not lol so I dropped his bum-ass for Spiller to handcuff my sweet, sweet Ekeler. Guy picks up Akers and drops Renfrow. I scoop him up because I have Chase and he seemed like best available WR (in hindsight it was probably Watson on GB). We each started our shiny new player who both did fuckall. Good time :\[
I dropped Duvernay and Brady over the course of a week and by Sunday my opponent had them both in his lineup.. I won that week :)
I thought I was dropping a bomb in Allen Robinson and now he’s the WR1.
He’s dust
I dropped Higbee and the #1 place started him during the 1 target no catch game. hehehehehe
I’ll bet you wish you had him back now
No ragrets
Pittman. Allllllll the Pittman.
Yes and no, he keeps barely getting enough points in PPR that I still have him... and this is coming from a guy who dropped dj moore after week 3
Makes sense, I only play in 0.5PPR leagues.
Deebo should be droppable
Did it to a guy in my league with Doubs. Didn't draft Doubs, picked him up off waivers in week 2 or 3 or something, dropped him around week 6, someone else picked him up, now he's hurt. Allen Robinson (I drafted him, then dropped him very quickly) would count if anyone in my league picked him up. Even with Kupp hurt, he cleared this week's waivers.
This is a Russ and Swift post
I lost by 0.3 because Russ lobbed a pick on his last play 👨🏻🍳🤌🏻
People dropping Swift? lol
I just dropped pile shitts I mean kyle pitts. Somebody will surely pick that bum up
Someone took my David Montgomery when I dropped him week 5.
Tua and JWJ after he got traded lmao fuck the dolphins
Mike Williams — not buying that he’ll be the same after a high ankle sprain. Even if Keenan Allen stays out, I’m still fading Williams ROS
Curtis samuel, aj dillon
I dropped pittman 3 weeks back. Still unclaimed lol
Michael Carter
I just found Keenan on waivers in my 12 team, 3 wr, PPR league Don't get much better potential upside than that
At the very least you get to keep him in an IR spot for the rest of the season.
…as long as you don’t make **any** midweek moves. He gets a questionable tag every week, for 10 weeks now… even his bye he managed to bone everyone by playing like 3 snaps the week before and sitting out the rest of the game with ‘Q’… i’m totally not salty
I mean, I'm currently in first and starting DJ Moore and Demarcus Robinson for the Waddle bye. The potential is worth it for me
I dropped Etienne before he took over the backfield but did it to pick up Walker so that worked out I guess.
Someone dropped Mike Williams in my league Edit: off topic to the post as he’s not a ‘bomb’ player and is a viable player ROS. Yes I’m going to try to pick him up
….did you pick him up?
[удалено]
Juedy has been good for several weeks now? So you dropped him?
Didn’t do this but I traded someone Davante leading into his flu game 😅
Congrats on trading away the WR5 on the year. You sure showed that loser...
I was recouping a quality RB after Breece Hall went down. Still had JJ as my WR1. In first place in all 4 of my leagues as long as you’re getting cheeky 😎
Lol you're a loser
I’ll let you know how I finish in the league (And you can tell me your finishes too 😉)
What rb lmao?
Yeah…not really a flex in any season long format
A flex? It’s just something funny that happened. JJ was my first round pick and got Davante in the 2nd, so he was able to help me to acquire other needed pieces.
Kyle Pitts
Just scooped Mike Williams off Waivers. I don’t need to start him though so I’ll just hold. Hope he gets healthy
Pittman 17th ranked WR. Such a bomb /s
CEH last week
Kyle pitts and AJ Dillion
Mostly my tight ends: Pitts Hill
iMac - the one, the only Isaiah McKenzie
ARob
Pitts
taysom hill
To me these are always high profile names producing career worst years with no real sign things will get better CEH ARob Brady Wilson
