re: I'm being offered Mike Evans for Greg Zuerlien lol, should I?

I would just like to reiterate that my reply was NOT sarcasm. I would absolutely not take Evans over Greg ROS.

I don't know how productive Zuerlien has been but I dropped Succop a few weeks ago while he was on his bye and he was snatched up. Been regretting dropping him every since. Gone from getting about 10-20 points from my kicker to getting about 8 points if I'm lucky.

. . . And I should've learned my lesson after dropping Lutz 3 weeks prior for his bye and getting lucky Succop was there when I did.

Who is the other guy's kicker?

Evans is currently a top 10 receiver in standard. #12 in ppr.

And there are like 5 people who agree, which is disturbing

I would take Greg also ahead of Evans

I was being facetious earlier but somehow people are literally saying to keep the kicker.

I agree with the disaster that is the Tampa bay bucs and their QB situation along with the suspension of Evans I like Greg better. In PPR they are both averaging about 14 a game . I think Greg is more reliable ROS.

Generally yes. This thread is different though. Normally I’d say this thread is idiotic too. But let’s look at the numbers:

Zuerlien is averaging 3 more points per game than the 2nd best kicker. 27% more points per game than the 2nd best kicker. Compare it to the rest of the top 10 kickers now. They average slightly less than 10 points per game. Zuerlien is averaging 40% more points per game than your average starting kicker. I’ve seen kickers perform above the average, but this is insane. He’s also consistent as frick. One game outside the top 10 kickers all season

Now let’s look at Evans. Ranked number 9 on avg points per game in my half PPR league. Averaging 12.1 per game. Less than Zuerlien, but let’s compare to the average WR2, which is who he would replace in this guy’s lineup. That’s WRs 11-20 in points per game avg. They average 11.3 points per game. Looking at the differential there, replacing an average WR2 with Evans would add 0.8 per game.

0.8 per game for replacing an average WR2 with Evans. But getting rid of Zuerlien and replacing him with your average starting kicker (assuming he can find the average on the waiver wire), he loses 4 per game. Total change in the trade is -3.2 points per game

Edit: on top of that, Evans is suspended for one game, his offense and team are trending down at a very rapid rate, he’s lost his QB to injury for several games, and between his next game and week 16 (end to most fantasy leagues) he plays 4/6 on the road

Ok well despite all the super elite Mensa member FF posters calling us morons, the math says I would have lost at least 3 games this year replacing greg’s production with evans’. So I’ll keep being a “mainstreamer” and winning and you can have the overrated POS WR on a shite team with a disastrous QB situation.

You’re comparing a position that starts 1 guy (K) to a position that can be started in 3-4 spots in some leagues (WR)

If you could start Zuerlein at WR you may be on to something
