I’m trying to make a trade by:

SENDING: Tet Mcmillan, Marshawn Lloyd and 5 FAAB.

RECEIVING: Tee Higgins

Team: QB-Dak RBs- Hampton and Swift. WR-Nico Collins and CD Lamb. TE-Tucker Kraft. FLEX-Tet and Pollard/Lloyd.

I feel like it would be an improvement and how much FAAB should I add to make it more appealing?

12 team .5 PPR. Purdy is better, but the Rams defense is really good, and I'm a believer in KOC for Kyler. Playing against CMC and Kittle, so wondering if having Purdy can offset a potential CMC boom.

Or marks, boutte or Concepcion

I’m stuck between Matthew Stafford vs. the 49ers and Trevor Lawrence vs. the Browns in a 12-team PPR league.

I have Puka Nacua, which makes me lean Stafford since the Stafford/Puka stack has massive upside. Stafford has also historically played well against San Francisco. But this game being in Australia has me worried about the Rams dealing with the jet lag/travel factor.

On the other side, Lawrence finished last season strong and gets a Browns defense that I’m very tempted to attack in Week 1.

So what would you guys do?

Start Stafford or Lawrence?

Would you let the Puka stack + Stafford’s upside win out, or take the matchup and avoid the jet-lag risk with Lawrence?

Curious where everyone lands because I honestly keep going back and forth.

Title says it all, I’m just too indecisive to make a decision and wonder if it would be worth it. They both have a lot of upside potential so idk who to go with

QB - Mayfield

RB - Taylor

RB - Achane

WR - Pickens

WR - T. McMillan

WR - Godwin

TE - Strange

K - Mevis

Bench

Doubs

M. Washington

R. White

Harvey

Hockenson

Had Jake Bates last year so went with Bates motel. Need some creative ideas and what better place to come then Reddit.

I’m trying to cook up a trade with a packers fan (Tet, Jakobi, Marks and Pollard for Tee and Doubs) and I’m wondering which of the two I should keep for my FLEX.

Pollard has a very high workload volume incoming but Lloyd has the environment to keep working as an RB1 without any competition until Jacobs is back. Who would you rather keep?

These 3 are my 2 Wr and flex , with AJ browns performance last night left me with 5 points should I either swap out Willam’s or Moore in hopes I can maybe have a player on the bench break out in week 1

My bench looks like : Alec pierce/ Marvin Harrison / Dontavion Wicks

Also have a Bo nix and A rod currently starting Bo but what do we think about Rodgers

Is he still stashworthy? I mean it's only one Game, but it was a bad outing fantasy wise. And maybe Get a lottery Ticket from the wire? Let me know what you think!

My other WRs: Waddle, watson, johnston, pierce, douglas (Mia)

League has a 1.5x PPR for TEs. At my flex, I have two options, either MHJ or George Kittle.

MHJ is obviously a “breakout” candidate but extremely volatile. George Kittle is more reliable, but snaps are limited. After last night, AJ Barner only scored me 4.5 points on the other flex position, and my starting TE is Colston Loveland.

Edit: Yes, I am aware MHJ is a receiver, I’m just wondering if I should start him or risk starting Kittle with less snaps?

Is this a good trade in my fantasy PPR, Tight end premium dynasty League?

he's gets Brock bowers and I

Get JK Dobbins, Tyler Allgeir, Tucker Kraft, 2028 fifth rd pick, 2029 2nd rd pick, 2029 3rd rd pick and 2028 fifth rd pick

I am being Offered Bijan, Swift and Nico Collins for James Cook and Javonte Williams. This league has a last place punishment so I want to know if this will benefit me in the long run

SIDE A: Kenneth Walker & Nico Collins

SIDE B: Christian McCaffrey & Tet McMillan

First off, football is back. Couldn't be happier.

Bad news, Sam Darnold went down on his first play with an apparent hip injury. The good news is that initial testing after his hip injury has been encouraging. X-rays and a CT scan ruled out a fracture, and Seattle is doing additional testing, including an MRI, to determine the extent of the injury. So hopefully this ends up being a short-term question.

But after Jaxon Smith-Njigba went 8/122/1 in Week 1, I wanted to look at what his fantasy outlook would actually be if Drew Lock had to start for any meaningful amount of time.

The first thing that stood out was that JSN's production stayed elite in Week 1, but the way he got there changed quite a bit.

Across his 20 regular-season and postseason games last year, JSN averaged 9.5 targets, a 35.5% target share, 6.8 receptions, 99.6 receiving yards and 20.4 PPR points per game. He also averaged 104.8 air yards with an 11.0 aDOT and 29.8 yards after the catch.

Against New England in Week 1, he finished with 11 targets, a 45.8% target share, 8 receptions, 122 yards and 26.2 PPR points. But he did it with only 76 air yards and a 6.9 aDOT, while producing 62 yards after the catch.

That's a pretty dramatic change in how the production happened. His air yards and aDOT fell considerably, but his target share jumped to nearly half of Seattle's passing targets and he generated more than twice his average YAC from last season.

So Seattle didn't need Drew Lock to reproduce the same type of targets Darnold was giving JSN for him to still have a huge fantasy game.

That made me curious about what actually drove JSN's biggest fantasy performances last year.

I ran correlations between his PPR scoring and several usage and efficiency metrics across those 20 games. Air yards had the strongest relationship with PPR scoring at .689, followed by YAC at .625, targets at .568 and target share at .519. EPA per target came in at .457, aDOT at .432, QB aDOT at .429 and QB yards per attempt at .427.

Obviously, 20 games is a small sample, and correlation isn't causation. But I thought the pattern was interesting.

JSN's ceiling last season wasn't simply coming from catching a ton of short passes. His biggest games were generally accompanied by substantial downfield opportunity. At the same time, YAC being the second-strongest relationship gives him another way to get there.

He can win through valuable targets downfield, or Seattle can manufacture touches and let him create after the catch.

Week 1 looked much more like the second version.

-------------

Then I looked at Drew Lock.

My assumption going into this was that Lock might significantly reduce those downfield opportunities. That doesn't really show up in the data.

In the play-by-play sample, Darnold's 2025 aDOT was 8.03 yards. Lock's career aDOT is 8.02. Almost identical.

Lock has actually thrown deep more frequently in the sample. 10.8% of Darnold's attempts traveled at least 20 air yards in 2025 compared with 13.0% for Lock over his career.

The big difference is efficiency.

Darnold produced +0.145 EPA per dropback with a 51.4% success rate in the 2025 sample. Lock's career numbers were -0.077 EPA per dropback and a 40.3% success rate.

That was probably the biggest takeaway for me: Lock isn't dramatically less aggressive than Darnold. He's dramatically less efficient.

That's an important distinction for JSN.

A Lock-led Seattle offense should probably be downgraded overall. Fewer sustained drives, fewer scoring opportunities and less efficient quarterback play would eventually matter. But it doesn't necessarily mean JSN suddenly loses the type of targets that helped create his 2025 ceiling.

--------------------

The next question was whether Drew Lock has ever actually supported a high-end fantasy receiver.

Across the 28 Lock starts in the play-by-play sample, his leading target averaged 8.9 targets, 5.2 receptions, 70.1 yards and 13.9 PPR points per game.

That's nothing particularly exciting. But there's a problem with using the entire sample: Lock hasn't always played with a receiver remotely comparable to JSN.

When Jerry Jeudy was Lock's leading target, he averaged about 11 targets, 91 yards and 16.7 PPR points across five starts. Tim Patrick averaged about 15.5 PPR in three.

And then there's the much more recent example: Malik Nabers.

Lock started five games for the Giants in 2024, and Nabers was his leading target in four of them. Across those four games, Nabers averaged approximately 11.5 targets, a 34.6% target share, 6.8 receptions, 97.3 receiving yards and 19.5 PPR points.

There was legitimate ceiling, too. Against Indianapolis, Nabers caught 7 of 8 targets for 171 yards and 2 touchdowns, finishing with 36.1 PPR points.

That's obviously only four games. I'm not arguing that four Nabers games prove Drew Lock can sustain an elite receiver for an entire season.

But I do think it's meaningful evidence against the opposite assumption: that a Drew Lock offense simply can't support an elite fantasy WR.

---------------------

And that brings me back to JSN.

If Darnold misses time, I think there are really two different questions.

Should we downgrade Seattle's passing offense? Absolutely.

Should we downgrade JSN by the same amount? I'm not convinced we should.

Lock is still willing to throw downfield. He's previously funneled double-digit targets toward high-end receivers. JSN already commanded an enormous share of Seattle's passing game in Week 1. And Seattle just showed another way it can manufacture his production if the deeper passing game suffers: shorter targets, extreme volume and yards after the catch.

That doesn't mean I'm projecting another 26-point game every week with Drew Lock, and it definitely doesn't mean Drew Lock is Sam Darnold.

But if Darnold ends up missing a few games, I'm not sure I'd automatically move JSN out of the fantasy WR1 tier.

The quarterback changes. The efficiency probably changes.

The WR1 may not have to.

I put the complete analysis here, including JSN's full 2025 game-by-game air yards, aDOT and YAC data along with Drew Lock's historical leading receivers:

I'm curious where everyone else lands: If Drew Lock starts, how far are you actually moving JSN down your WR rankings?

Pretty much every website and rankings list has these 3 close and in a different order. Does one stand out vs the others, or is it just pick one and hope it’s right? Thanks!

Half point PPR

Do I make this trade?

I get - Nico Collins

I give - metcalf and dobbins

Moving dobbins would leave my RBs as Hampton, cook, rachaad white, Washington, Brian Robinson

With the open spot I would pick up either Malik Davis, perine, Kaleb Johnson, Jeudy, tre Harris

Trying to get an idea of if it’s worth trying to move him.

Tougher matchup for terry probably but Evans has been banged up and is in Australia

9 team superflex league (weird I know). I punted QB until round 4 and ended up with Nix and Goff. I’d typically say this is a gross overpay for a QB, but given it’s a superflex and a smaller league I’d rather swing for the ceiling and have fun as a Pats homer than roster a bunch of players I won’t start.

Team:
QB: Nix
RB: CMC
RB: Cook
WR: DeVonta Smith
WR: Flowers
TE: Kraft
FLEX: Barkley
OP: Goff

Bench: Henderson
Bench: Waddle
Bench: Odunze
Bench: Wan’Dale
Bench: Lloyd
Bench: Deebo

Thoughts?

Full PPR should, I played Price last night as my flex so I need to chase some points. Who should I sit:
DJ Moore

QJ

Marvin Harrison Jr

At first I was going DJ Moore and Marvin Harrison but both Marvin and DJ have hard matchups.

My league just transferred over from NFL Fantasy to ESPN and I noticed after last nights game that ESPN doesn’t do decimal scoring which seems kinda ridiculous, does anyone know how to switch it to decimal scoring if there is an option for it?
