Who to start this week? Newton or Eli? I have Eli in since Carolina does not have 3/5 of their starting online playing. Both guards and left tackle are out.
If Rothlisberger can toss for 6 tds against the Colts, Eli certainly can do something similar.
I am really hurting at WR this week with both Jeffrey and Cobb on bye. I'm currently starting Hawkins and Moncreif, so I'm obviously pathetic. Would you think it a good idea to pick up Anquan Bolden off waivers and start him?
I think I'd go with Eli. The Panthers OL situation + Indy giving up a million passing yards last week. I could also see Cam Newton torch the Saints, but Eli feels like the safer play with plenty of upside himself.
What are people's thoughts on Wes Welker the rest of the season? He isn't getting the volume of receptions that we're used to, but Peyton seems to be looking his way in really big spots. That's a good sign imo. I think he eventually gets back to his usual PPR monster self within the next couple of weeks. Agree or Disagree?
I'd go with Reggie Wayne. The Giants pass rush is crap and the secondary is going to be stretched in coverage for Hilton. Could be a very big game for Wayne.

I had Wayne in one league. I'd stay away from him simply because Hilton is the deep threat while Bradshaw and Allen are their endzone targets.
Wayne will be your typical possession/move the chain guy that, at best, can score when Luck throws it to him from the opponent's 15 yard line.
Also, I had my eye on Cooper for awhile. There are many targets on the Eagles but Cooper does seem to get his fair share of long ball from Foles. Maclin gets the majority of them but I see Cooper getting some of those targets.
At the end of the day, both guys are TD dependent but I have this gut feeling that Cooper will pull one in before Wayne.
so waiting may cost you. His back up (Moncrief?) could be a good play as a pickup if Wayne doesn't start.
For me, i'm deciding between Michael Floyd and Bobby Rainey at my last FLEX. Rainey should get the start with Martin in a walking boot, and Clevelands run D has been poor.
Michael Floyd is poised for a breakout game, but i'm pissed about last weeks donut that came out of nowhere.

Floyd's donut was a God send for me. I traded Crabtree for him after the Floyd's owner got tired of his inconsistency. (Points wise, Crabtree and Floyd are nearly the same).
My WR corp is now:
Nelson, Brown, Floyd, Holmes and Gordon.
This gives me the opportunity to trade one away for a QB or a mid to low RB2 as I'm hurting real bad in those areas:
QB: Ryan, Tannehill
RB: Charles, Fred Jackson, Charles Sims, Doug Martin, Anthony Dixon
i'm 4-4 with a few bad breaks, I see 6-2 as best case scenario with my 4-4 record being pretty much worse case scenario. With Ingram back i'm finally getting production at RB2, and with Brady looking good, I finally have a QB i can depend on.
If I can go 4-2 (8-6 overall) I think I have a decent shot at the playoffs.
I said this when it happened, but his elbow bent the wrong way. I truly believe it's a little more serious than they are letting on. I don't think he will play monday and you can't play him without knowing. Like Uconn said though, Moncrief is a great play and if he's available and you have Wayne, that's a perfect handicap.
My team is awesome, I've got so much depth that I've overcome
points scored in my league and I'm in last place at 1 - 7. I have the most points against by over 120.
it's uncanny.
In my 2nd league, the less important one because it's not a keeper league, but it's more money, I'm in first with so-so team where I've overcome adversity - lost Adrian Peterson and Victor Cruz as well as Montee Ball (though that turned out to work in my benefit since I stopped playing him). I traded Gronkowski for Arian Foster and that helped since my TE's have been good too.
Speaking of keepers, I can pick up Victor Cruz off waivers and keep him for an 8th round pick. is it worth it? I would more than likely have better keeper options, but never hurts to get waiver wire keepers.
Calvin
Brees
Bernard
Cruz
Jennings

Maclin

That's not all that great of a draft when you look back on it. I've done most of my damage in pickups(Hillman, Forsett, Lamar Miller who I traded for Andre Johnson, Brady, OBJ)
RE: My team is awesome, I've got so much depth that I've overcome
and I'm getting no interst. I'm convinced that Brady is officially back to being the fantasy stud he was 2 years ago which makes Brees expendable, but I'm just not seeing any interest. I offered Brady and Johnson for Nelson and the dude practically laughed at me. It's hard to make trades.

No excuses pal. You are in last place. Fact.
Seriously though, pts scored is more important than record when evaluating a team, but it's also important to know when they scored the pts. Did you score 250 pts in 1 week and average 100 every other week? If I remember correctly, weren't you leading in pts 3 weeks ago? So you've crapped the bed for 3 weeks now?
unless its really early in the season. most people usually have atleast a decent QB play, or are confident on any given game their guy can toss 3 TD's, which isn't necessarily un-true.
Personally, i really don't trade. I'll only do it if i'm absolutely hands down winning the trade, or if I have so much depth that someone will take a package of players so I can upgrade (rarely happens).
Mainly I play the waiver wire since injuries happen at an alarming rate.

Depends who his QB is.
I was offered Brady and Hillman for Antonio Brown and I felt uncomfortable with that even though I'm stacked at WR and hurting for a QB and a second RB.
I'm always offering trades. I feel like I'm a fair offerer,
points scored in my league and I'm in last place at 1 - 7. I have the most points against by over 120.

I've kind of thrown in the towel, I traded away Julio Jones for Kelvin Benjamin (Benjamin is an 11th round keeper), traded Ronnie Hillman for Brandin Cooks (a 10th round keeper) and other small deals like that.
I am now sacrificing points for the future. I had some nice keeper options now and a high draft pick to look forward to. I'm shopping Matt Forte now, who is the #1 non-QB in terms of points in my league. I'd like to get Sammy Watkins and wrap up WR with all keepers. he was a later round pick too.
I'd just keep Russell Wilson too. I guess i'd need to know the whole team, but a small bump in projected performance usually won't get me to part with a player.
my league is PPR + bonuses for long TDs + 6 pts for a TD of 80 yds, 4 pts for a TD of 40 - 79 yds. Nelson has a lot of bonus points, he has some long TD's (off the top of my head it seems)
I'd just keep Russell Wilson too. I guess i'd need to know the whole team, but a small bump in projected performance usually won't get me to part with a player.
Well when you look at Brady vs Wilson, you need to look closely. In the past month Brady has been the #1 fantasy player in the league ahead of Peyton. He's had 40 more pts than Wilson in just this past month. You shouldn't factor in the first month.
I was trying to shop Brees but there wasn't much interest for me either and I'm thinking I might just be better off anyway. He's going to have more 30pt games like he just had and has a good matchup tonight even out of the dome so I am starting him again.
My team is 3rd in pts now but I am 4-4. I will win again this week because I'm playing the worst team in the league.
It's funny, I hated my draft but actually feel like my team is primed to make a run in my league now especially if Sims emerges in TB
Forte has been unreal, by the way. His pt totals the last like 4 or so weeks have been off the charts. He had a rough 2-3 weeks after week 1 but he is the best fantasy RB for my money right now. He's putting up legit WR numbers on a weekly basis in addition to rushing for some pretty high totals.

Yeah, im merely looking at future projections. I guess if I were him id expect Brady to cool off, and not worth the risk when Russell can easily throw/run for 2 scores a game + rushing yards.
As a Brady owner, I'm hoping he continues to crush it.
RE: I'm always offering trades. I feel like I'm a fair offerer,
but I find myself thankful at the end of the season that people didn't accept my offers. The dude I offered Brady to has Russell Wilson.
I wouldn't do that deal either if I had Wilson. Wilson is putting up stud numbers this year. Not worth giving up Nelson.
Kmed, how do you feel about this trade?
Guy offers me Brady and Hillman for Antonio Brown. Standard 12 team league:
My Team (4-4):
QB: Ryan, Tannehill
RB: Charles, Fred Jackson, Doug Martin, Anthony Dixon, Sims, and Juwan Thompson (hope to pick up Sankey soon in waiver)
WR: Brown, Nelson, Floyd, Holmes, Gordon
TE: Gronk, Donnell
I didn't make any excuses. I'm 1 - 7 in that league. points scored are all you can control in FFL (to the extent you can control them by drafting players, picking them up in waivers, trading for them and then putting them in your lineup), points against you have zero to do with. Facts are facts.
And I have not been good at sit/start decisions. Shane Vereen has killed me. Percy Harvin killed me until I traded him, Keenan Allen has killed me. Most weeks I could have won had I started different players - so it's on me somewhat, but not making excuses either way.
we also start 3 WRs and a flex. I am 6-2(could easily be 8-0, but could at worst should be 5-3 so Ill settle for 6-2). I have the most points, and thanks to some good waiver wire pickups, I am pretty happy with how the rest of my season can turn out.
QB - Rivers, Ryan
RB - McCoy, Foster, Bradhsaw, Jennings
WR - Brown, Watkins, Lafell, Royal, Josh Gordon
TE - Davis
K - MCManus
D - Chiefs and Ravens
If McCoy can ever get started and Gordon comes back and produces - I should win some money. We pay out for total points too in my league.

I don't do it. Matt Ryan will keep chucking, just gotta hope he's not terrible on the road.
Thanks UConn.
I'm just hoping he does well even when he's at home. That oline is a mess.
WR is definitely a strength and you can use an RB2, but Antonio Brown can win any given week for you and I don't think Hillman will ever score enough or get the ball enough to do that for you.
I like Brady a lot more than Ryan, but A. Brown is the kicker for me.

I am really hurting at WR this week with both Jeffrey and Cobb on bye. I'm currently starting Hawkins and Moncrief, so I'm obviously pathetic. Would you think it a good idea to pick up Anquan Bolden off waivers and start him?
No love for my question? If you were in my place, would you take a shot with Bolden over either Hawkins or Moncrief? Please help the needy.
i'll never do it again. Just adds more randomness and the reward never fits the accomplishment in my book. Never understood why someone would get 5 bonus points for 100 yards receiving, which is 5.1 more points than someone who got 99 yards.

We don't have those kinds of bonuses.
I don't like the bonus points either. It's been this way forever, and these guys don't like to change stuff.
I like both those guys (Hawkins and Moncrief) long-term, Boldin might score more than one of them this week (Indy has a lot of options), but I'd stick with those two and not second guess it.

What are people's thoughts on Wes Welker the rest of the season? He isn't getting the volume of receptions that we're used to, but Peyton seems to be looking his way in really big spots. That's a good sign imo. I think he eventually gets back to his usual PPR monster self within the next couple of weeks. Agree or Disagree?
tough one
I had Wayne in one league. I'd stay away from him simply because Hilton is the deep threat while Bradshaw and Allen are their endzone targets.
Wayne will be your typical possession/move the chain guy that, at best, can score when Luck throws it to him from the opponent's 15 yard line.

Larry Donnell vs Colts or
Andre Holmes vs Seahawks
I'm leaning towards Donnell even though the both times I started him, he gave me two donuts in a row.
Def:
Pittsburgh (vs Ravens)
And on waiver...Dolphins (vs Chargers)
And on waiver...Colts (vs Giants)
Obviously, the choices aren't great (Colts facing Giants makes it worse). What's a guy trying to make the playoffs to do?
For me, i'm deciding between Michael Floyd and Bobby Rainey at my last FLEX. Rainey should get the start with Martin in a walking boot, and Clevelands run D has been poor.
Michael Floyd is poised for a breakout game, but i'm pissed about last weeks donut that came out of nowhere.

I realize this means nothing without knowing our scoring system, but my scores haven't fluctuated wildly and I had no monster weeks

I don't do it. Matt Ryan will keep chucking, just gotta hope he's not terrible on the road.
Thanks UConn.
I'm just hoping he does well even when he's at home. That oline is a mess.
WR is definitely a strength and you can use an RB2, but Antonio Brown can win any given week for you and I don't think Hillman will ever score enough or get the ball enough to do that for you.
I like Brady a lot more than Ryan, but A. Brown is the kicker for me.

always with the excuses.
I didn't make any excuses. I'm 1 - 7 in that league. points scored are all you can control in FFL (to the extent you can control them by drafting players, picking them up in waivers, trading for them and then putting them in your lineup), points against you have zero to do with. Facts are facts.
And I have not been good at sit/start decisions. Shane Vereen has killed me. Percy Harvin killed me until I traded him, Keenan Allen has killed me. Most weeks I could have won had I started different players - so it's on me somewhat, but not making excuses either way.
Again, pts scored are clearly the only thing you can control, but a few monster weeks can skew those numbers.
I agree, I'm mostly consistent
here are my points scored:
132 (W)
102 (L)
133 (L)
109 (L)
118 (L)
120 (L)
106 (L)
132 (L)

Every week is a monster week in standard scoring. What is your scoring system that's different from standard's?
1QB
2RB
2WR
2 Flex
6 pts per passing TD
ppr
Bonuses for:
6 pts for a 80 yd (or greater) TD run, pass, or reception
4 pts for a 50 - 79 yard TD run, pass, or reception
6 pts for a 50 - 54 yd FG, 7 pts for 55 >
yardage: 1 point every 10 yards rushing/receiving, 1 pt every 25 yards passing
receptions: 3 pt bonus for 10 receptions
rushing: 3 pt bonus for 25 rushing attempts
passing: 3 pt bonus for 30 completions
it's all relative
No love for my question? If you were in my place, would you take a shot with Bolden over either Hawkins or Moncrief? Please help the needy.
We don't have those kinds of bonuses.
I don't like the bonus points either. It's been this way forever, and these guys don't like to change stuff.
I like both those guys (Hawkins and Moncrief) long-term, Boldin might score more than one of them this week (Indy has a lot of options), but I'd stick with those two and not second guess it.
YAJ - LOL Nice catch. My spelling is qusetionbull at bset.
