Who to start, Drew Brees(@det)or Tom Brady(vs Jets)?
I'm high in Drew Brees being Drew Brees again, but this is a tough matchup without Graham.
Brady at home against a bad pass defense on a short week looks great on paper, but I fear that Rex is all too familiar with NE which nullifies some of that. Brady had two awful games vs the jets last year, but the pats weren't the pats last year.
Tough call for you, though. The weather is supposed to be pretty bad tonight I think so it might not be conducive to throwing a lot and Rex will probably draw up a decent game plan to keep Brady from torching them. I still might go Brady anyway. Brees in Detroit without Graham I just don't like much at all.
I just dropped Dalton for Bolden so I only have Brady, but if the weather doesn't let up I don't see how anyone will be able to throw downfield tonight. I may have to drop someone for a scrub QB which would really suck.
i got 1 for you guys...
Rivers vs KC or Newton vs Packers
Lol
or
Stafford vs NO
6pts per TD
yeah, my QB sitch turned into a big shitburger
League two:
Russell Wilson @STL
or Tony Romo vs NYG
4 pts per TD
or Hillman (against SF)?
Leaning towards Hillman, Bush is too inconsistent.
Brandon Bolden is tentatively expected to start in the Stevan Ridley role Thursday night.
Beat writer Jeff Howe expects a rotation between Bolden, James White and Shane Vereen, with the Patriots riding a hot hand. Vereen is obviously the safest bet as we know his passing back role is intact and the Patriots have used him in some short-yardage situations before. Bolden is a desperation roll of the dice until we get some more clarity here.
I'm wondering which 2 to start out of Stewart, Sankey, and Bolden (McCoy on BYE and Ingram just coming back).
Bernard
Oliver
L Miller
K Benjamin
Dez
Cooks
OBJ
Bernard
Oliver
L Miller
K Benjamin
Dez
Cooks
OBJ
Id start the first 5 listed...
I'm forced to start Boldin, Alshon, and either Andre Roberts or Stevie Johnson. Who do you guys go with?
I had a waiver claim in to drop Miles Austin (he was actually a decent fill in the first few weeks of the season) and pick up Antone Smith, but since I already have FJax and Gio Bernard with Andre Williams and McFadden on my bench, I instead dropped Austin to get Andre Roberts. Good back-roster move?
I'm trying to trade Andre Williams to a kid who needs a RB for Sanu. He doesn't start Sanu and I don't start Williams, and both will have a drop in production when AJ/Rashad Jennings come back, so I'm hoping he bites.

Stafford vs NO

League two:
Russell Wilson @STL

Idk if you're in an 8 team league or what, but having Stafford and Eli is definitely not a shitburger. That's a great pair to choose between. I'd go Stafford. I don't like playing Eli anyway, I feel like its bad karma, but in general I don't trust the our Oline.
In the other league, it's a toss up. I have a feeling Romo will torch us. Wilson will probably torch STL just like Kap did. Wilson is a much better QB than Kap.
Golden Tate
Darren McFadden
and receive:
Watkins
Fred Jackson
This league has a flex, and my team as constructed is:
Luck
Golden Tate/Demaryius/Reggie Wayne/Boldin/Hurns/Floyd/OBJ
Demarco/McFadden/Taliaferro/Reggie Bush
Julius Thomas
so if I made the trade, I guess I would roll with a starting lineup of:
Luck
Demaryius/ and two out of Boldin, Wayne, or OBJ (which 2?)
Demarco/Fred Jackson (or Regge Bush here? What do you think? I'd go Jackson)
Julius Thomas
Someone in the flex out of Boldin, Wayne, Reggie Bush or Sammy Watkins.
Think I should pull the trigger on that trade?
I pretty much have to start him over Eli this week.

8 team league? I get the cliche, but not sure you're using it correctly here.
12 team league and Eli is the 15th ranked QB who I picked up off the waiver wire and Stafford is 18th.
Not exactly a rosy outlook for the position.
I give up Phillip Rivers/Mike wallace/asiata
I receive Lamar Miller/keenan allen/Jason witten
My team
Qbs- Colin Kap, Matt Ryan, Rivers
RBs- Rashad Jennings(injured) Ben Tate, Ryan matthews(injured) Zac Stacy,
Wrs-Dez Bryant,Brandon Marshall,Kelvin Benjamin, Odell Beckham, torrey smith
TE- Jimmy Graham(injured)
I pretty much have to start him over Eli this week.
I'd sign up for that in a heart beat. He can string together TD's when he's on so as long as the majority of the game isn't that windy I am good with playing him.
I get Reggie Wayne
I give Ronnie Hillman
My current RB's Forte, Branden Oliver, Joique Bell, Shane Vereen, and Hillman
My current WR's: Julio Jones, Kelvin Benjamin, Rueben Randle, Jordan Reed (No TE league), Keenan Allen, ODB, Allen Robinson
Not sure I need Wayne, and I think Hillman could be good.
What would you do?
Other WR's I could counter for are Brandin Cooks (keeper candidate), Bishop Sankey (keeper candidate),
So, maybe Hillman for Sankey or Cooks? Make more sense?
Not try and get Cooks or Sankey instead?
I'm 1 - 5 in a keeper league. we have 3 double-headers so I'm not out of it yet. But I'm starting to look for next year's keepers.
We keep 2. I can't keep Julio or Forte they'd cost me a 1st (either of them), I can just re-draft them. Kelvin Benjamin right now I have for a 14th. Branden Oliver for an 8th, Odell Beckham for an 8th, etc.
Cooks I could keep for an 11th round pick, Sankey would be a 4th, so he's less attractive.
I could keep Hillman for an 8th.
Wayne I don't see keeping under any circumstance
And this guys other RB's are Lacy, Sankey, McKinnon, Asiata, Crowell, Reaves
Hillman would start immediately for him.
Matt Asiata (did he really lose the job?)
Bernard Pierce(rumors of him getting traded)
Miami Dolphins D/ST to stash vs the Jags for a big division game next week
Bengals D/ST was dropped-play the Jags in week 9 in another big game and keep my Browns D/st for 2 games
Who to start:
Brady or Ryan - Strongly leaning Brady
Browns D/st or Cards D/st (i dropped Cards because the Raiders now scare me after the Chargers game whereas 1 week ago they didn't and the Browns were available this morning after waivers vs the Jags)
Rueben Randle Ronnie Hillman or Isaiah Crowell at flex - Half PPR
His QB is Peyton.
and his WR's are Dez, Brandin Cooks, Wayne, DeSean Jackson
funny thing is, we have the exactly some number of points scored in the league. And he's 4 - 2 and I'm 1 - 5.
H2H fantasy football love it or hate it.
andre williams
ronnie hillman
shane vereen
travis kelce
He came back with a decent counter:
I send:
Hillman
Jioque Bell
for
Brandin Cooks
Delanie Walker
It's a non-TE mandatory league, but Walker gets a ton of targets. I doubt I'll play him, but Bush is back and Ball will be back soon too.
What say you FFL gurus?
Accept?
I thought Lacy would be better too, and he still may be, they've had some tough matchups.
What do you think of the trade?
Not sure why you'd want a third te in a non te league. I'd see if I could get someone else.
I got Hillman off waivers and Bell in a trade (for Terance West), and I'll keep Cooks barring something tragic so it works out.
LOL, I don't own Lacy in any league. he had some tough matchups early, and he had some not so tough matchups. I wouldn't give up on him, but I'm also not delusional about his value.
Bernard Pierce(rumors of him getting traded)
Miami Dolphins D/ST to stash vs the Jags for a big division game next week
Bengals D/ST was dropped-play the Jags in week 9 in another big game and keep my Browns D/st for 2 games
ha, that's what you think, my buddy just gave up gordon and benjamin for lacy
and he really didn't fucking need a RB. Really fucking stupid.
I offered Keenan Allen for him who has been similarly disappointing.
That might be his best offer.
I'm not playing Allen right now. If I don't play Lacy no skin off my back.
I don't think he's Trent Richardson bad, and I do think he comes out of it.
Lacy is averaging almost 4 ypc.
Foolish.
Then Cruz goes down.
I like Lacy but he doesn't bring much wiggle to the game. He's a tough RB but tough RBs behind average OLs don't produce elite FF numbers. Add in that GB is a throw first offense...
Well Allen had one big game too, if you take that out he's probably just as bad.
I like Allen, I drafted him, but the inconsistency is maddening, he's getting targets, just not in synch with Rivers like last year.
Too many other options too, he loves Royal and Floyd, likes Gates and Green and now Oliver.
GB running game is Starks or Lacy for the most part. I think they're both disappointing, but I think IF Lacy gets straightened out it's more of a benefit to me than if Allen does - just based on position.
Lacy has 62 fantasy pts for the season, 28 in that minny game. He's averaged 6.8 pts per game outside that one freak thu night game. He will destroy your fantasy team.

It's irrelevant, he rejected the trade. worth watching though, if you can buy low (lower than allen)

Solid options. Julio and Benjamin are def(assuming they play). Not really sure who else, is it crazy to say Reed who had like 10 targets playing 50% of the snaps?
Depends on a lot of info, but a steal for this year!
Randle has so many targets and it's PPR, I hate to sit him.
He has 50 targets. 15th in the league.
Julio
Kelvin
Cooks
Reed
ODB is tempting though.
Luck
Dez
Cooks
L. Bell
Gio
Reed
Flex: Sanu
Bench:
Allen
Vjax
Hunter
Khiry Robinson
Cunningham
Donnell
to fill 2 RB's and a Flex I have:
Stewart
Sankey
Bolden
Benjamin
Right now I'm rolling with Stewart, Sankey, and flexing Banjamin since they think he will be cleared tomorrow. Would you take that risk knowing I won't be able to swap Bolden in on Sunday should Benjamin sit?
I'd probably flex Benjamin and then just pick someone up on Saturday or Sunday if Benjamin doesn't play. I wouldn't start bolden yet, but this just me.
I picked up bolden who's upside is Ridleys role and who's downside is 4 touches a game. I need to see how it shakes out first.
But yeah, I think i'm keeping Stewart/Sankey as my starters and Flexing Benjamin with the ability to swap in Ingram or Beckham.
Uconn, I'm still torn on brady vs brees, but I think I'm leaning brady. If nothing else, it'll make tnt a game more interesting.
And offered a trade I get Wes Welker for Ben Tate.
My WR are total shit right now with AJ Green being hurt but I'm just not thirlled with Welker right now.

Haha, its the only thing that will get me to watch tonight. The wife is also traveling so I may have a couple Pats fans friends over and root on Brady.
LOL. Yeah I love the Pats, about as much as I love ISIS and Ebola.
See, now I stayed off but you have to drag me back in.
I complete you.
You've gone out on a few limbs here, limbs get heavier in the rain. We all don't have the luxury of playing in a ten team league with at least 4 of them being related to you.
Good to see you asking for more information on trades though, like I told you to. I don't mind the no credit, you keep it for yourself.
And yes, I've played in leagues against Yahoo experts and beat them soundly. If they paid any kind of money for the research involved I'd consider it.
I'll sit back and watch my fan duel Thursday nighters cash me again...
The shouting match with McDaniels sounds legit, but they're hurting for weapons who can stretch the field unless you count LaFell.
Last year Dobson to me looked like he was developing into a legit option.
healthy scratch every game that he's been healthy.
Touchdown Shane Vereen, too easy.
Maybe Bolden wasn't such a good grab?
Is now a good time to discuss your prediction of Matt Ryan dominating Chicago's D last week? Or do you wanna wait?
Heh, heh...
You may be wrong most of the time but you never run away.
Good man...
You need a 4 TD lead by the Pats to get anything out of him. If you started Bree's over Brady based on the weather, you should have consulted with Weatherman first.
Gray? Is that Dorian Gray? I told you they wouldn't pull Bolden off of special teams to be the #1 RB.
Triple teaming Gronk is gonna hurt me though...
I'll keep it civil, beats the hell out of Frick's game thread (again)...
Rocky, I didn't start Bolden so you didn't tell me anything. Not sure why/how you draw conclusions after 10 minutes of playing time. You must love being really right or really wrong.
Back the fuck off man
I was talking to kmed. The fact that you took me being right about AJ Green's injury personally is not my problem.
I've had no problem with you until then. How you choose to address it is up to you.
As I said last week, I can do either or. Your call...
He thrives on it.
A little harsh, I apologize. Trying to watch baseball and Brady at the same time with my internet fading in and out.
I am perplexed on your reaction last week though. If it's a misunderstanding, I'm willing to rectify...
That even though you start a game thread ( at least 5 a week) people aren't actually talking to you, right?
I got the lowdown on you last weekend, I never pegged you for a Ned Beatty but turns out that's exactly what you are. Can't get any lower than a Ned Beatty.
Stop following me around, you ain't worth the pooper scooper needed to clean up after your puppy ass...
...
Rollin, Rollin, Rollin , boy my ass is swollen, rawhide!
And once again I don't have him on my team so being right or wrong about it didn't even come into play.
But this is tiresome. The right/wrong arguments when we all read the same reports is stupid. I'll happily admit when I'm wrong, but I didn't predict anything with green.

I start game threads and people talk about the game.
You start fanduel threads and you talk to yourself. At least people mock and make fun of you here. You finalyl get your attention.
I need at least 3 from Gronk, 1 more from Vereen should be good...
Fuuuuuuuuck.
Yet who dragged me in here with the right or wrong shit?
This is why I love you k, play them man.
Uh, has Bolden been on the field for an offensive play yet? Just sayin...
Like I said, never had a problem with you. If you think I'm about who's right or wrong in fantasy football, you missed the opening argument...
I think he starts every player in the league, and yet somehow he still loses.
But I put up with it because it was kinda fun making you look stupid.
Now that I found out you emailed BBI and asked to have me banned because I abuse the shit out of you, even though you follow me everywhere, you are the lowest form of shit on the board.
Ned Beatty
I would love to hear what you EVER proved me wrong on. I believe you actually learned from me before. Not vice versa.
Rocky giving fantasy advice - ( New Window )
Notice that you didn't deny emailing BBI to have me banned. You would have been a liar if you did.
Did you see the rats in NYC city thread? That's where you belong.
Ned Beatty
Great start to the fantasy week.

I am not going to address something so ludicrous. Its about as stupid as you giving fantasy advice.
You sound bitter? Its not a good thing to go through life miserable. I know all you got is trying to win fantasy, and you never do, but perk up sunshine.
Again, I noticed you didnt think of anything that you ever proved me wrong on?

Who brought up who first in this thread? Game over. You lose once again.
Great start to the fantasy week.
He will get 4 pts next week.
I tried this week, but everyone thought Bolden, White, someone else, not vereen was going to be the guy in NE.
Let me be the first to thank you for playing the guy that has Vereen on his team kmed. I certainly needed the boost...
Didn't see it on any Amber alerts...
Didn't see it on any Amber alerts...
Plays for the 49ers. They dont play tonight.
He's even catching some passes this year.
The guy on the CBS fantasy show has been plugging Ivory for weeks. Said he was a top ten RB play last week against Denver.
Ivory is the Jets best RB, whatever that's worth...
Maybe get Gronk in the action?
...
?
Quote:
In a much needed week. I got my ass stomped last Sunday. Sadly it took a guy to get injured for Vereen to get his fair shake. He's wildly talented and a perfect fit for what the Pats are doing.
Great start to the fantasy week.
He will get 4 pts next week.
Doubt it. Belly not being able to choose between Ridley and Vereen was Vereens biggest downfall. In limited snaps, Vereen was more than holding his own.
Will be a nice addition.
Good start to the week.
2nd half
0 targets. Oh well. It was worth the gamble, but unless Edelman/Gronk get hurt, he is an emergency starter now.
