J.Charles, A.Peterson, and others will not be playing for a while. RB's are at a premium , do you have your's already.
Some are scrambling to find starters. Do you have a sleeper ?
How's your defence/special teams doing ? When are your bye weeks and will you be ready ?
This thread is here to discuss trades as well as those duds that zeroed out on you . [boxing]

I'm the League Manager of a Fantasy Football League. We are in our second season. I had to replace some owners from the first season due to their poor management. This season is already more competitive and we went international as well. We have members from California to Austria/Germany . Some leagues play involve fees and money prizes, we don't. We play for the fun and the bragging rights. The League Manager position is not too difficult, but the preparation and start of each season requires some work. [grin1]

We never really know how our players will perform from week to week. The best we can do is field the best starters we can. Sometimes we get lucky and sometimes we get the egg. Who could have predicted that NO's Marques Colston would not score any fantasy points in week 2 or that a player would go down to an injury. We draft and hit the weekly wavers for better players. There are no guarantees that even if you field a great team, that a player on your opposition's team won't have a career game . I like playing fantasy football because it get's me more involved in what other teams and their players are doing. IT'S FUN DAMMIT !! šŸ–

The thing I find most frustrating about fantasy football is the players who are "game day decisions" as to whether or not they will play. I can read and infer all I want and still be wrong. The HC can wait and announce his decision 1 hour before kick off. That is too late for me as I leave the house around 10 am. Some of the time the coach knows a couple of days before that the player won't be able to play. I think the other team has better sources than we do and they already know the guy won't play. Coaches wait to make the announcement just to tick us fantasy players off.

This week I am not waiting. I benched Gore and Jeffery already. They may have big games but I just don't want to see another 0 for players like I did last year a few times.

You just never know who is going to be your savior and/or your big mistake. You expect your star to shine, then he doesn't. You expect a reg. player to put up their norm and they have a career day ! You put in a guy from your bench who has done well the previous 2 weeks and he lays you an egg. Sometimes that crystal ball just won't work. [wtf]

    beast (17h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
    Martha Careful (21h) : meh
    Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026
    Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.
    Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

    wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
    wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
    Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
    dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
    wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
    beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
    wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
