Ajayi traded to the Eagles.

Kelvin Benjamin traded to the Bills.
---

Curious to see the dolphins after that trade. Hoping it translates into 40 targets per game for Landry. Lol.
---

*Parker
---

I figure you own Parker, but on an unbiased note it makes more sense for Landry since he's their slot/short yardage guy. Although I'd be willing to bet they both see a slight increase.
---

Everyone should set up their teams for tomorrow.
---

Maybe someone else can look to take my Winston away from me for a RB sometime, it might be nice.

Disclaimer: Selfish "my team" rant. Not appropriate for /r/fantasyfootball, and everybody in my league hates me because I'm in first place while being 8th in PF. So I'm here to indulge myself.

I really like the looks of things for my team moving forward. I got a lot of dumb schedule luck for the first half of the season, which landed me in 1st with a one game lead, and now my team is poised to be legitimately good for the second half of the season.

Shady probably finishes the season as a top 3 RB. The Bills totally fixed their blocking scheme during the bye, and their schedule prior to the bye was tough in terms of rush defenses. He's also voiced frustration with himself over not producing enough. He's going to be playing with something to prove.

I spent my #2 waiver priority on Tyrod a few weeks ago, and it was mainly for Brady's bye week. But with the Bills cake rest of schedule, their solid defense, and Kelvin Benjamin boosting the passing/red zone game, there are probably going to be multiple weeks I end up sitting Brady in favor of him.

Speaking of Benjamin, he's on my roster as well. He's instantly their de facto red zone weapon, possibly sharing with a healthy Clay. But he should have at worst equal value compared to what he had in Carolina.

The dolphins traded their starting RB, which indicates they'll be at least somewhat more pass-heavy. Maybe not, but it likely doesn't mean they're running more often. After eight weeks, Jarvis Landry has more receptions than every player in the NFL not named Antonio Brown.

Just scooped up Bears D/ST from free agency. They are #8 in our league so far, and have one of the best playoff (weeks 14-16) schedules in the NFL. (Also have Lions)

Alex Collins.

The Patriots have a pretty tough strength of schedule in terms of passing from here on out. And even aside from that, James White has been very consistent. Tough pass D translates into leaning more heavily on pass catching backs.

Adam Thielen is an unsung champion. He's WR9 in my league with only one touchdown. Like Landry, he's never had below 5 catches in a game this season.

-----

TLDR; my league hates me for having a lucky schedule, but come end of season I may very well have the most solid team of all. Solid floors are underrated.
---

Looks like Parker and Fournette should both be back in time for Sunday, so that makes me feel a lot more comfortable, even if I'm matched against a very soft team this week.

Oh cool so I'm going to lose out from here on out >_>

I was JUST about to post that.

In practice, too. :(

Wow I really do have weird Hearthstone RNG
---

Maybe I can finally offload Alex Smith on someone in my league now.

Ignoring my fantasy team (the real issue here), Texans have had a terrible string of luck this year.

Watt, Mercilus, and now Watson. Their three best players are all out for the year. That's a crazy amount of talent.

I feel like this team is the Saints circa Katrina. I have to like them because of all the help they did for the hurricane victims and with a lot of them going down with injury super sucks.

The Astros just won the World Series so I imagine they're pretty happy with that

Sounds like you need a new QB, there's always... Jameis Winston ;)

He literally just traded for Brees

lol

I'm pretty sure I could have hit McCoy behind the line of scrimmage last night. Bills o line looked like Swiss cheese.

Having a bad Thursday is rough when you have to spend two whole days thinking about it. Thankfully Tyrod somewhat salvaged my night. I know I denounced projections before, but just to give an idea, I started the game projected to win by 8 and finished the game projected to lose by 10. Yeesh.
