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.

hmm, I don't delanie much but you could do worse. If you could get him to throw in wayne, sankey, or mckinnon instead of delanie that'd be ideal because you don't *need a TE.
We settled  
pjcas18 : 10/16/2014 1:59 pm : link
on Cooks and Wayne (I get) for Hillman and Joique bell.

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.
Great trade for you,

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.
Who to stash in my open bench spot:  
Mr. Nickels : 10/16/2014 2:02 pm : link
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
That's what you call an excellent value deal.  
GMenLTS : 10/16/2014 2:04 pm : link
nice job.

It's too late to give up on lacy.  
kmed : 10/16/2014 2:05 pm : link
Nobody is trading for him. Not only does he suck, but Starks looks more effective and is only going to steal more touches.

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.
Wow, fantastic return for a RB  
kmed : 10/16/2014 2:09 pm : link
that should end around 25th-30th!
The guy in my league  
pjcas18 : 10/16/2014 2:11 pm : link
is shopping Lacy HARD.

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.

Check his YPC outside that minny game.  
kmed : 10/16/2014 2:13 pm : link
I'd rather Allen, I think he has better chance of breaking out of it.
I just sent him ahmad for bennett last week, I needed a TE for jimmy's  
GMenLTS : 10/16/2014 2:13 pm : link
bye and he has shady and demarco. So he makes this trade now right after shady has a great game finally looking poised for a rebound and his 3 man rotation of 3 legit starting RBs. Weakening his starting WRs and wasting that entire half season of investment on a possible stud like gordon.

Foolish.
ugh  
GMenLTS : 10/16/2014 2:15 pm : link
I said before sunday night I was officially about to bench allen.

Then Cruz goes down.
Lacy is averaging 3 YPC  
kmed : 10/16/2014 2:15 pm : link
in the 5 games outside that freak thu night game in which he ran for 80 yards BEFORE contact.
Lacy may be another MArshawn Lynch  
djm : 10/16/2014 2:16 pm : link
but it wont happen this year or anytime soon as long as he's running behind that run blocking OL in GB.

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.
Yeah Allen has been terrible  
kmed : 10/16/2014 2:19 pm : link
and I thought he'd be good. I see no chsnce lacy becomes a starting caliber RB, I can see Allen as a starter.

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)
If prefer to have  
kmed : 10/16/2014 2:22 pm : link
neither! I'm all set at WR anywhos:

Calvin(play already!)
Maclin
Andre johnson(just traded miller for him)
Golden Tate
OBJ
When you have to start  
dep026 : 10/16/2014 2:24 pm : link
Eddie Royal, Sammy Watkins, and Brandon Lafell this week - should you even watch your fantasy squad?

Who do you start in PPR out of these options:

Julio Jones @BAL
Kelvin Benjamin @GB
Brandin Cooks @DET
Rueben Randle @DAL
Jordan Reed vs TEN
ODB @DAL
Keenan Allen vs KC
Reggie Wayne Vs CIN

Can start 4

Jesus those are awesome options. I would probably go Julio, Kelvin, Cooks and OBJ
I just traded Ben Tate and OBJ  
knicks3031 : 10/16/2014 2:30 pm : link
for Dez... OBJ would have been a 13th round keeper, someone please tell me that wasn't a terrible decision.

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!
right now I have  
pjcas18 : 10/16/2014 2:34 pm : link
Julio, Benjamin (watching to make sure they play), Reed, and Randle.

Randle has so many targets and it's PPR, I hate to sit him.

He has 50 targets. 15th in the league.
Yea Reed actually looked really good  
GMenLTS : 10/16/2014 2:34 pm : link
makes the choice somewhat easy

Julio
Kelvin
Cooks
Reed

ODB is tempting though.
Those stupid yahoo projections had me gaining nothing out of the deal  
knicks3031 : 10/16/2014 2:36 pm : link
which I was surprised about, and it was messing with my head cause I thought the same. I'm going for it this year. Plus between the Browns losing Alex Mack and Tate's injury history, figured I'd sell high. Roster now looks like this for this week

Luck
Dez
Cooks
L. Bell
Gio
Reed
Flex: Sanu

Bench:
Allen
Vjax
Hunter
Khiry Robinson
Cunningham
Donnell
Ignore yahoo predictions....  
kmed : 10/16/2014 2:38 pm : link
They suck. I almost feel like rocky can give better predictions....ok maybe not.

UConn4523 : 10/16/2014 2:46 pm : link
curious what you think.

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 have Ingram as well  
UConn4523 : 10/16/2014 2:47 pm : link
...
Uconn, tough choices.  
kmed : 10/16/2014 2:54 pm : link
Battling bye weeks?

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.
Or start Ingram at flex  
kmed : 10/16/2014 2:58 pm : link
if Benjamin is out.

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.
McCoy on bye  
UConn4523 : 10/16/2014 3:00 pm : link
i'm loaded at WR so i'm doing ok, just need 1 of Ingram/Sankey to get going and i'll have a top team I believe.

But yeah, I think i'm keeping Stewart/Sankey as my starters and Flexing Benjamin with the ability to swap in Ingram or Beckham.
Yeah smart move.  
kmed : 10/16/2014 3:02 pm : link
I like obj too as a flex play if Benjamin is out. That's a no brainer move for you, imo.
yeah  
UConn4523 : 10/16/2014 3:03 pm : link
Bolden was attractive if the weather tonight blows. But its looking like the wind calms down tonight so hopefully that means a ton of Brady passing.
Is Ben Tate and Reuben Randle a fair offer in return for AJ Green?  
knicks3031 : 10/16/2014 3:03 pm : link
I'm 2-4 and AJ isn't helping me on my bench, anyone else shopping him and have any insight?
I would say no  
jlukes : 10/16/2014 3:04 pm : link
I think you should be able to get a better RB than Tate
I'm with Luke's, put Aj green on the block  
kmed : 10/16/2014 3:05 pm : link
and see what you can get.

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.
Hope Brady  
Mr. Nickels : 10/16/2014 3:08 pm : link
goes off tonight I am playing Peyton Manning going for the touchdown record
Shane Vereen  
davek3698 : 10/16/2014 3:30 pm : link
Would you take him in the flex over Martelius Bennett, Steven Jackson and Sammy Watkins?
Jlukes/Kmed  
knicks3031 : 10/16/2014 3:30 pm : link
Someone offered Rashad Jennings and Beckham (14th round keeper) for AJ. I don't know how different that is from Tate/Randle, but OBJ's keeper value is intriguing for next year
Two things i got  
terz22 : 10/16/2014 3:46 pm : link
Flex Andre Willaims or Shane Vereen

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.
Imo  
kmed : 10/16/2014 3:48 pm : link
