Fantasy 10-22

Sanders, Harvin, Robinson

I have to pick up a defense. Baltimore, KC, or Miami?

seems like the sexy pick this week.


Start two: (its pathetic)

Crowell
Cadet
Tre Mason
Bernard Pierce

league

Crowell and mason

I gotta go Brees at home vs. GB over Rivers on the road vs DEN on a short week, right?

Also.. WR3.. which one? I've made the wrong decision on this slot for about 4 weeks straight now. Sat Wright the week he scored twice, sat OBJ against ATL (TD), sat Andre Johnson against IND (99yds, TD), sat Kendall Wright (TD), Allen Robinson (TD) AND OBJ (2 TD) last week.

Kendall Wright vs HOU
Andre Holmes vs. CLE
Brandin Cooks vs GB
Allen Robinson vs MIA

I'm leaning Wright. Whoever I choose, I am not changing. That's the mistake I keep making.

...is that once you start Eddie Royal, he'll score 0 pts.

12 Team Standard

My team (3-4):

QB: Tannehill, Ryan
RB: Charles, Martin, F. Jackson, Cunningham
WR: Brown, Nelson, Holmes, Gordon, Cooks
TE: Gronk, Donnell

His team (5-2):

QB: Cam, Dalton
RB: Forte, L. Bell, Bradshaw,
WR: Maclin, White, Shorts, Jennings, Boldin, Hester
TE: Thomas

I'll send Antonio Brown for Ahmad Bradshaw & Jeremy Maclin. Yay or nay?

No way. Brown is a stud. I would def not trade him for Maclin and Bradshaw. Your teams biggest problem is QB, IMO.

However, no one wants to trade a QB unless they're getting a stud back. This league doesn't trade. There has been 3 trades this year and I was in 2 of them.

I get Ronnie Hillman and DeAndre Hopkins for Jordy Nelson.

I have pretty good backup WRs (T Williams and M Floyd) but terrible RBs (Forsett, K Robinson, P Thomas, and Z Stacy). Also, 16 team league so talent pool is diluted.

People said not to do my trade (Brown for Bradshaw and Maclin). I think you can get way more for Jordy.

That's awful for you. Nelson is a top 4 WR. Hillman is a question mark when Ball returns and Hopkins is mediocre at best.

is going nowhere. He is the Broncos starter. Jordy is so good though.

going to get his normal work this week??

I am 2-5 in my one league (non ppr) I have Megatron injured and need to make a play. So I traded McFadden and Garcon for Green and Ball. Green prob wont play this week but I dont need him this week as I am playing the last place team. I also have Megatron who is close to returning. Dont care about Ball but when he come back if Hillman gets hurt I have him.

When I get those two back my team will be

Qb Romo or Kaepernick
Wr Megatron
Wr Green
Rb Bell
Rb Morris or Tate (depends on matchup)
TE Olsen
Flex Marshall or Hilton

I have to make a run I am in 7th place in a 10 team league. Top 6 teams make playoffs.

But I was thinking about this before.

When you have a tough decision between two players at one position (say, in my case.. I have to decide between Rivers and Brees every week) and you're watching the guy you didn't play.. do you cringe every time he throws a TD pass and kind of hope he doesn't light it up so you can feel like you made the right choice or do you hope he racks up as many pts as possible because he's still on your team and you're just glad he's playing well?

I always wrestle with this. Like.. I am probably starting Brees this week, so when I watch the SD/DEN game tomorrow night and Rivers starts putting up points, I'm going to half be like "FUCK, I should have played him" and half "I'm glad the dude is on my roster even if he's on my bench"

because it raises their trade value. Hate leaving pts on the bench though.

Just drives me nuts. Dems the breaks, though.

But I don't really have a choice. It's either him or Bryce Brown/Travaris Cadet.

I think Bryce Brown is going to prove he's legit, but he needs a week under his belt. Especially against a DL like the Jets.

Travaris Cadet can definitely have a sneaky legit game.

Have to go with the known commodity though.

My bench totals like 15 points a week. Worst bench in the league. Easily

So....there's that.

12 Team League. I'm 3-4.

QB: Romo, Newton, Eli
RB: Lacy, Ellington, Hillman, McKinnon, Spiller, Mcfadden
WE: J Nelson, A Brown, Maclin, Lefell
TE: Donnell, Chandler
D: Houston
K. Suishan

I'm starting Maclin at the flex. Which two RB would you go with? I'm leaning towards Ellington and McKinnon. Is it crazy to bench Lacy for the Vikings back?

I think you should lean towards cutting Spiller. He's out for the year.

Hard to bench Hillman after his performance.

Ellington and Hillman.

Royal or Lafell??

Says Buffalo absolutely loves Dixon and he will be leading the time share. Contradicting what they said yesterday about Brown being the man.

Tough match ups for Buffalo RBs the next 4 weeks as kmed pointed out yesterday. The only favorable one coming against KC.

I have to play Dixon this week unless I can get a trade done but I wouldn't start either over Cadet or even Helu. Both RBs in Buffalo this week are RB 4s...

I'd start Hawkins and Holmes against each other in what looks like a lack of defense "over" bet.

But that's just me...

I wouldn't start either unless I was desperate, but at least until we know who's going to get the touches.

Holmes really bit me in the fucking ass last week and basically cost me my matchup with a total dud.

Kendall has been good for around 8-9 targets pretty much every week and he's pretty clearly the Titans' WR1 at this point. Robinson I just feel is more of a WR4 and Cooks is a little too boom or bust for my liking and hasn't scored since Week 1.

This would be my WR3.. Sanders and Andre are my 1 & 2. After this week, OBJ is going to be locked in as my 3rd guy I think.

Browns secondary has been tourched. Joe Hayden ain't what he used to was.

I'm on board with an over 60 pt game there. Who does the scoring, well that's anyone's guess. I'd say Ben Tate, McFadden, Hawkins, Holmes, James Jones and both kickers are valid plays this week. Boyer and Carr look like decent starts in 2 QB leagues depending on what you got available.

Personally, I would never sit cooks in a PPR , he's the the go to guy to keep the offense moving. Saints will run, GB last against the run, Ingram breaks out? But with Graham banged up, cooks will get looks (rhyme not intended).

I would have thought so but Cooks was only targeted 3 times and caught 2 passes for 23 yards with a limited Graham. My league is .5 PPR.

I can't afford another dud in that slot this week. For the past like.. 4 weeks now I've gotten close to zilch in that WR3 slot and it's not because my roster sucks, it's because I keep playing the wrong guys and I'm caught in a cycle now where I ditch the player there after a bad week and then he puts up numbers the next week on my bench.

Picked em up last week because they have a favorable three weeks. Hime vs oak should present some opps.

Was gonna start them this week but this game scares me from a defensive point of view. Going with the Jets against Buffalo instead...

I did the same. I think I am using them again this week but I am considering picking up IND. They are getting an insane number of sacks.. they have double digit pts every week since Week 2. I know PIT can move the ball but I feel like they will take Ben down a few times and probably manage to come up with a turnover.

Detroit is tough man, GB is not. How many guys do good every week?

I have faith in Holmes ( pretty much a dud last week) and even though I don't own Cooks I'm thinking the Saints finally realize that Rob Ryan is an idiot and play ball control to keep ARod off the field. Ingram and Cooks would be the men to have.

Available? They're the hottest D this side of Philly. Jump all over that shit...

19, 12, 19, 13, 21.50

Some bad offenses in there, though (JAX, TEN).. they did shut the Bengals out, though (albeit without AJ)

ravens, dolphins, chiefs. Decided to go with Baltimore, and praying Green is out and Bernard is still a bit banged up.

Only reason they had life against Houston was the turnovers. Antonio Brown is gonna get his but I see nothing in that offense that suggests 20+ points against Indy. Get to Big Ben he's just as likely to cough it up as make an amazing play. Indy is the good guys, Ben is a scumbag , let kharma dictate, lol...

I trust that more than a matchup (CLE) and they have like twice as many fantasy pts so far. I think I'm gonna make that swap.

Take to task for that pick, lol.

But I think it's the best play...

.

Bernard wasn't banged up, he was shut down. Took another devastating shot, this one to the ribs, and kept on playing. I'm impressed. Dalton should be beaten with soap bars in socks for setting Gio up like that. Dalton's been exposed without AJ. He just isn't a good QB.

Greg Jennings or Mohamed Sanu this week?

Ben Tate vs Oakland or Jerick McKinnon vs. Tampa Bay.

My other RB is Arian Foster vs. Tennessee, who I have to start. No flex, so I can only start two.

I don't like either but I'd go Sanu probably. Jennings doesn't seem to do much ever really anymore.
