    How does that make sense for a top WR?

    @BonesJones Keep making your trade offers though, it helps to get some action going.

    You possibly don't downgrade at WR while adding RB depth.

    @BonesJones nice Thielen pick-up. He was on my radar for an early season add.

    HOT TAKE: Is this the beginning of the decline of Tom Brady?

    ...I don't think so, he had a couple TD passes called back on him tonight if I remember correctly. Obviously the o-line was not blocking very well late in the game -- probably tired and gassed out from 1st game of season -- I also believe that KC's defense is better than most "experts" think (especially at full strength) :dunno:

    Sedated Fork and I both left a lot of points from last night on our bench.

    Hey--you guys mind if I ask your opinions on a FFB trade that's completely unrelated to your league?

    Go ahead! We may ridicule you if it's terrible like a @BonesJones trade offer :)

    I think the Chiefs are really good and it was the Patriots Defense that had major problems last night.

    In a 10-team league (1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 flex), here's my current roster (starters in bold):
    • QB: Roethlisberger & Stafford
    • RB: Ajayi, Cook, Coleman, & Gore
    • WR: Jones, Thomas, Sanders, Diggs, & Matthews
    • TE: Kelce & Bennett
    Offered to me (before last night's game) Cam Newton, Marshawn Lynch, and Colby Fleener in exchange for Matt Stafford, Emmanuel Sanders, and Travis Kelce.

    I have my opinions, but before I share them, what do you think?

    It's not terrible, but I would reject it at this point in the season. I like Kelce better than Fleener. If Luck comes back Fleener could be set for a really good year, but who knows with Luck right now. Lynch is another wild card, he could be a stud, but who knows how well he will play after a year off. Newton has higher potential and a chance to bounce back this year, so I do like him more than Stafford. I just think too many wild cards at play so early in the season to accept the trade. Just my thoughts.

    Fleener is just filler--Bennett would obviously move into the starting TE spot in Kelce's absence.

    I'm similarly unsure about Lynch; however I'm MUCH stronger at WR than at RB. I'd rather play my 5th WR at flex than my 3rd RB right now; Sanders for Lynch balances that.

    At QB, Stafford is presently just my backup who I picked up very late for depth. If Newton falls flat again, I still have Roethlisberger, so I don't feel like there's any risk here.

    I hear what you're saying about "wild cards", but with the relatively safe bets I'm retaining, what's the downside of adding a couple boom/bust players in Newton/Lynch?

    You are definitely right. I was going to add that if you accepted the trade it wouldn't be bad at all. I'm just more conservative at the beginning of the year, but of course the beginning of the year is a time before everyone knows what to expect from a player and a great chance to steal a breakout player early on.

    Is Jack Doyle or Hunter Henry on the free agent list for you?

    Fleener plays for the Saints, not the Colts. Jack Doyle will be a stud TE for the Colts this season in my opinion.
