Don't want me doing a Desean Jackson bird dance on your ass?

I wouldn't touch either of those guys. There's no better options? I can see Sankey's role increasing, but to the point of fantasy relevancy? I have always thought Doug Martin would be getting another shot to keep his job and Rainey's game last week only solidified that.

Nope, no better options. With Ingram injured I have no choice.

I'm fine with it since my entire league (everyone elses too) is banged up, just need to weather the storm.

I'm down .75 points tonight with Jeffrey against Forte. Really need the Jets D to shut down the run.

Let's get a bbi league going next year so you can come in last again. The more important question...will you be banned by then?

All I've had to deal with is Vernon Davis and I have Olsen so it's not even a big deal.

the kid who didn't take an RB until round 4 is in 1st by a wide margin, btw.

He took Calvin, Julio, Julius Thomas, Ray Rice, Desean, Ridley, Sproles...

Basically, if you have stud WR's the RB's don't matter. Really wish I didn't have the #1 pick taking McCoy. Learned my lesson for next year.

every Panthers RB is hurt.

Stewart with a severed sprained knee and Tolbert with a hairline fracture.

PPR changes everything.

Its .5 PPR and my league was drafted as such. Not sure what you mean...

It doesn't matter if you drafted a RB early or waited until rd 4. I doesn't matter if you took a qb in rd 2. It doesn't matter if you drafted a defense in rd 7. It's abotu drafting the right guys.

poor play, and suspensions have killed me in one league, AP, Montee Ball, and Ben Tate (didn't think he'd be out this long) seemed like a decent trio at RB.

AP may never play again, Tate is about as predictable as Odell beckham, and Ball had some rough matchups to start the year.

I was lucky to get Terance West and Knile Davis otherwise I could be 0 - 3 instead of 1 - 2.

Brady, vereen, Gronk and their defense.

Ohh 100%. But my strategy is much like yours and picking #1 overall doesn't mesh well with it. I was trying to trade it but no one wanted it. Really wanted back to back WR's and was forced into a RB early. I basically have to hope McCoy turns his season around.

It also sucks starting the season #12 on waivers. You lose out on every major injury waiver claim.

don't trust him, wouldn't touch him in the draft at his ADP.

I did think Brady would pick up where he left off, same with Vereen.

Haven't talked much about team defense here, maybe that's someone else (though in their division its enticing). I generally go week to week on D.

I guess I was "lucky" that I didn't get an early pick. I was all in on McCoy, Charles, AP and Forte.

Just meant that PPR makes WRs more valuable

Sorry, was talkign to pj the closet Pats fan who was pimping Pats players for weeks.

all good.

Brady is pissing me off. Just embarrassingly bad. So bad I have to start Cousins against the Giants which means Brady will throw 3 TD's.

Agree on injuries and Terance West. Martin wiped out my team, had him and his backup. TE Davis is injured, along with my backup TE (the guy from Washington). I have Petterson on my team in the hopes that he somehow gets playing time later on this year.

I'm at 1-2, struggling to find a RB.

I hate the Pats more than the other NFC East teams. It's almost a reverse psychology for me, if I have Patriots players on my team I don't mind losing if they do poorly. It's irrational.

I only have Gronk, Vereen, and their D and only Gronk and their D are on the same team. Vereen is on a different team in a ppr league where he's been benched.

I thought he'd be better, and their D too, they should be better.

What sucks about it the most is they're 2 - 1 and by December will be firing on all cylinders and cruise into the AFC Championship game again. They were gifted a win yesterday on a bogus hold on a McFadden late TD that could have tied the game.

starts to play more. Brady's production ties very closely to Gronk being on the field.

I have been lurking this site since late 2007, finally signed up. Glad to be posting.

I'm in a 2 QB league and have the first waiver: Both Glennon and Bridgewater are free agents (the only starters that are FA's)

My qbs are Ryan, Tannehill, and Fitzpatrick. Should I use my first waiver on one of the 2 qbs?

apparently Philbin hasn't ruled out replacing Tannehill with Moore for next game.

Only because of the unknown. We know the rest of those guys suck.

Do you like Pitt defense also this week or Miami? I have Cinci on bye, and need to scoop one

but Pitt at home vs Tampa is a good matchup. That being said, they aren't very good(despite yesterday's effort).

but I have to fill in for Cinci who is on bye, and is my go-to defense week in and out. Have all three of my leagues still undetermined heading into tonight. On pins and needles here.

Cincy's def is legit!

Ive always been a week to week defense guy, but it's getting annoying(and expensive) to pick up a new defense every week. I have KC right now, but I think I'll pick up Detroit and roll with those 2 for the rest of the seaosn.

I practically brought up Vereen being the tits on every single fantasy thread.

I still have faith.

out 6 weeks with groin surgery. YAY!

Not that he was doing well, but i get to fill the void him and Reed have left me.

TE?

best of what's left is Cook for the most part. I'm OK with that on he weeks Reed doesn't play I guess.

McCoy in every league I am in. So far he is rushing at less than 60 YPG, isnt a threat in the passing game, and has 1 TD.

I hate taking RBs in round 1. The top 5 havent been anything (due to injuries and suspensions) while Murray, Bernard, and Lynchy have been great. Give me the stud WRs any day of the week. Wish I drafted 10th instead of 2nd.

But I have a chance to be 3-0 (due to playing the low man 2 out of 3 weeks). The only thing I finally did right was wait on a QB. I took Ryan and Rivers in round 7 and 9. Used Ryan in weeks 1/3. Rivers in week 2.

can just play I think i'll be fine. He can absolutely tear it up with a legit passer now.

I'm just going to be playing Larry Donnell consistently.

As a heads up, Ladarius Green had a lot more snaps Sunday than he did the previous two weeks. Just something to look out for.

for as decimated as my team is I can go 2-1 if Jeffrey outscores Forte by atleast .75 points. I'm thinking that won't happen since he's still a bit injured, but if the rush can get shut down I have a chance.

Yeah, I may roll the dice on him. Cook and Green are available right now.

what was it this week? Did he play in 2 TE sets? Did he come in for Gates? Did he play in the slot?

Ladarius Green played on 23-of-69 snaps (33.3 percent) in Sunday's win at Buffalo.
Green did set season-highs with four catches and 64 yards on six targets. He also encouragingly saw two red-zone targets. However, his snap count was essentially the same as it was in the first two weeks while Antonio Gates was up at 65.2 percent of the snaps again. Green will be a boom or bust fantasy play in Week 4 against a Jaguars team that is as bad as the Cardinals at defending the tight end. His lack of snaps and consistent role in the pass game keeps his weekly floor incredibly low. Sep 22 - 11:53 AM

So I didn't get to see it, but from Yahoo :

Quote:

Green saw two red-zone targets, and drew a pass interference penalty in the end zone. Green appeared to play more snaps in the second half than Antonio Gates, and played a big role in two of the Chargers' four scoring drives.

he doesn't look it, but he's almost guaranteed to get injured. If that happens Green's value would be awesome.

That said, I'll likely go for Cook this week and see what happens.

Same with Hyde/Gore.

And then received 6 targets in the 3rd game alone. I'm not saying to plug him in as a starter next week, but he's a guy to keep tabs on. He should get more of a workload as the season goes on.

i feel like such a dick waiting for injuries. Hyde can be absolute gold.

A lot of my problems go away should Sankey take the lead. He looks on the verge of it.

last week. Needed the roster spot. I have Hyde on my bench too, but I just can't get rid of him for the reason you stated. He's a RB1, probably top end RB1, if Gore goes down.

I probably should have let go of Forsett because he will never be anything more than a change of pace guy.

.

he's now getting a higher YPC with more touches. Its only a matter of time. I think he's going to be the sure first starter by week 6 at the latest unless he throws up some duds.

I'll play in a BBI league with you but let's make it a 16 team league with at least 5 Individual D players.

He's nursing a hammy, played through it against Seattle. Maybe didn't want to risk it in iffy weather at Buffalo?

Until otherwise posted Gates is still a top TE play against Jax...

Bump for kmed. You dont have to worry anymore.
