I'm the commissioner for an ESPN league, and last year one of the guys in the league dropped 4 starting rbs/wrs because they didn't do anything after week 2.. one guy picked them up all and ended up winning the league because of that.

Unfortunately, none of the four were on the "undroppable" list (ap, mccoy, charles, peyton, etc.)... but still top 50 picks. Does anyone know any way to prevent stuff like this from happening (dropping four starting caliber players)?


peyton had 7 tds week 1... who the fuck would drop him....


what is this.. i don't even

Andre and Alshon is overpay for DeMarco. If you do go with it though make sure you snatch up that handcuff too (idk who it is, Dunbar or Randle?)

No offense but I need a solid rb. None of those listed above are that. My two starters are gio and Ellington. I can afford to lose some wrs since I have dez and Calvin. Plus I'd like to put a rb in my flex for this league.

Hey it's all personal opinion and if you like Murray then yeah that guy would be an idiot to pass on that deal. I'd still advise to get the handcuff.

Idk what your talking about with the handcuff

Edit: I said no offense because I said Ellington is not a solid rb. Not because I didn't value your opinion haha.

When Murray get's injured it'd be nice to have the Cowboys RB2 on your bench (Dunbar or Randle, idk which it is) so you have his replacement before everyone goes and tries to waiver him.

That way, even if you're out Murray, you're not totally fucked because you still have a starting RB and he doesn't go to someone else.

EDIT: Yeah I know, he'll bust out fo an easy 30ppg so don't worry, I'll just wait and accept your apology. B)

In fantasy football, one strategy is to have both a star player and his backup, or "handcuff", on a team's roster of players. If the star is injured, the handcuff will be his likely replacement.



:P :D
