Fantasy Thread 9/16 - Week 3

GP : 9/16/2014 8:33 am
Down 0-2, so I need a good week. Looking to finalize my WR2 and Flex, what's my best two here (standard scoring)?

Victor Cruz vs HOU
Sammy Watkins vs SD
Bernard Pierce vs CLE
Mike Evans vs ATL

Thanks
I had  
Josh in the City : 9/16/2014 9:29 am : link
Romo starting at QB, AJ Green and Colston starting at WR and Ball and Jennings starting at RB. Combined 30 pts from all 5 of them. I had Rivers, Sproles, Bradshaw, Steve Smith, Keenan Allen on my bench who combines for over 100 pts. Gotta love fantasy.
i have peyton and cam newton  
Gordo : 9/16/2014 9:32 am : link
willing to trade newton , only person to take the trade is offering Michael Floyd... im weak at receiver
GP  
Josh in the City : 9/16/2014 9:33 am : link
I'd prob go Cruz...I think he has a big game after last week's debacle.

How about this. Which 2 WR's, 2 RB's, and Flex would you start this week?

Ball @ Sea
Jennings v. Hou
Sproles v. Wash
Bradshaw @ Jax

Allen @ Buff
V Jackson @ Atl
Colston v Minn
S Smith @ Cle

Fucked it up last week...let's see if we can get it right this week. Thanks.

id go with Pierce for sure out of that group and then i guess Cruz (slightly over Watkins).

There are a lot of waiver wire pickup. Who should i shoot for (i have the #2 claim).

Ridley
Pierce
K. Davis
Bradshaw
Donald Brown

Cousins - 2 QB league and i have Peyton/R. Wilson with McCown on my bench

Gates - Have M. Bennett
Definitely Bradshaw  
GIANTSr01 : 9/16/2014 9:37 am : link
TRich blows and they should get a decent lead against the Jags and keep pounding.

Gotta go Ball too. Why draft him in the 1st/high 2nd only to bench him week 3?

WRs: I'd go Allen and VJackson. Atl can put up some points and TB will have to throw to keep up.

Flex: Sproles - play the hot hand
I'd go for Davis  
GIANTSr01 : 9/16/2014 9:38 am : link
he could get a couple starts with Charles having a high ankle sprain and they love featuring the RBs in KC.
Josh...  
Italianju : 9/16/2014 9:38 am : link
Sproles seems like a must play right now. Not sure what other RB, Bradshaw has the best matchup i guess. As for WR, i think Allen bounces back this week and then id prolly go with S. Smith. He is getting almost all of the WR targets it seems.
Had a 25 point lead going into last night  
mfsd : 9/16/2014 9:39 am : link
but my opponent had Sproles and Maclin. As if I needed another reason to hate he Eagles

Picking up Bobby Rainey and stashing him on my bench 2 weeks ago worked out this week...anyone else have RB or WR potential sleepers?

I'm looking at Brian Quick and Marcus Wheaton at WR - in a 14 team league, so gambling on possible gems becomes vital

what is the order of waiver priority  
Mr. Nickels : 9/16/2014 12:12 pm : link
I own Jamaal Charles (how long will he be out) I am THIRD in priority so I should get one

Knile Davis (what if Charles isn't ruled out and is a game time decision and plays)

Ahmad Bradshaw (could be stealing the job looks like AB of old.)

Antonio Gates (I own Jimmy Graham but we can flex a TE and I don't have a backup for Graham's week 6 bye)
Also  
Mr. Nickels : 9/16/2014 12:13 pm : link
Brady or Ryan

Brady home vs Oakland

Ryan home Thurs night (!) vs Tampa
Who is Miami's 3rd string RB  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 9/16/2014 12:48 pm : link
Moreno is hurt and Miller is in a walking boot?
Daniel Thomas  
UConn4523 : 9/16/2014 12:50 pm : link
was just signed in Miami.

This Ingram injury really blows. He's looked awesome and was the RB2 I needed to pair with McCoy. Not I have to hope Rainey steals the job entirely (he should).

I'm also sick of Brady being a bitch. Using my first waiver priority on Cousins but ill likely lose out since i'm 11th out of 12th.
Miller should be able to play  
Maximus, Esq. : 9/16/2014 1:08 pm : link
On Sunday. He would have come back into game if he needed to. With Moreno out 4-8 weeks, Miller will be the Mai. Guy in Miami. He's not great - but in deep leagues he's a decent play with Moreno out
Down 0-2 here  
Sly Guy : 9/16/2014 1:32 pm : link
Jamaal Charles owner right here. So things are looking bleak as shit.

Was looking for a trade and offered one that's being contemplated the past day by the other guy. My team:

QB: Brady, Romo
RB: Charles, Spiller, Jackson, Sankey
WR: Nelson, Brown, Gordon and Hurns
TE: Gronk, Donnell and Kelce

Made this offer: Brown and Jackson for Gore and C. Patterson. A fairly trade that could help me.

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

Also offered a different guy a trade of Charles and Gronk for Forte. This guy's team consists of:

QB: Dalton, Newton
RB: Forte, Bell, Bernard, Bradshaw, L. Murray, Starks
WR: Garcon, Maclin, Boldin, Jennings, Shorts
TE: Witten

Would any of this help me?
Charles hasn't been ruled out  
Mr. Nickels : 9/16/2014 1:55 pm : link

Such question marks.

Lamar in a walking boot?

Maybe wait until it's closer to game time and find out if AP/Charles are starting.
if Charles plays  
Mr. Nickels : 9/16/2014 1:57 pm : link

If I don't get Knile Davis at least..

Bernard Pierce and AP play at 1pm

Charles and Lamar play at 4.

So if AP plays start him for RB2 leave it up between Charles if he doesnt play Miller (and no Pierce)?

Uhh yes?
Miller/Pierce is almost a toss-up anyway  
GIANTSr01 : 9/16/2014 2:04 pm : link
IF (and I think it's more likely we know sooner), but IF Charles is a gametime decision, then you have to take the chance he plays and make the swap last minute if he doesn't.

what is the status on Lamar  
Mr. Nickels : 9/16/2014 2:12 pm : link
someone said walking boot? Idk what to do if both are game time decisions I could start AP and Pierce if AP isn't suspended and leave Charles for flex.

If both Charles and Lamar are out flex Michael Floyd. Floyd without Palmer isn't a must start and I think Palmer sits the week before his bye.
whatever their status is today  
UConn4523 : 9/16/2014 2:16 pm : link
will almost absolutely change by Sunday. Figuring it out now is pointless.
Waiver priority this week..  
BleedingBlue2 : 9/16/2014 3:14 pm : link
Who do you all like?

Knile Davis v. Donald Brown v. Khiry Robinson.

While I think Davis has the most talent out of the three it seems like Brown might get the most work for the longest duration. Thinking about putting Brown as number one. Thoughts?
Brown, Robinson, Davis  
UConn4523 : 9/16/2014 3:19 pm : link
basically a combo of role in the offense + length of injury to start + talent level.

I bet Charles plays, gut feeling. I also be NO passes more now that their rock in the running game is out. Brown catches and runs, and I assume they don't want Woodhead taking too many shots on that small frame, so his carries between the tackles will be as few as they are now.
they called Charles  
Mr. Nickels : 9/16/2014 3:45 pm : link
sprain very mild. Basically Toby Gerhart had a worse injury and didn't miss any time aside from half of week 1. But he has looked terrible.
Gerhart is a miserable player  
UConn4523 : 9/16/2014 4:03 pm : link
just not a starting caliber RB. Does nothing well, and almost nothing average either. Its a shame for the Jags too because their offense has promise with Bortles and the young WR's.
wait  
Fish : 9/16/2014 5:17 pm : link
High ankle sprain for Charles and he could come back? But when someone on GIANTS gets the high ankle we are doomed.
Stupid question: does Prater become available with  
yesplease : 9/16/2014 5:22 pm : link
A new NFLPA deal, sorta like welker and Gordon??
I don't think Prater comes back  
Sly Guy : 9/16/2014 6:32 pm : link
His suspension stems from substance abuse (alcohol). I don't think the NFLPA is working to raise the threshold for that. Of course, I may be wrong.
