FF Thread 11/23/2015

the guy with the 7 vikings/packers absolutley dominated. jones and crosby go for over 40 combined.

my 2 stud wrs are becoming duds. cobb, other than the td, catches 1 ball. Green looks toast. if forte comes back, I am really screwed because langford would be done.

Rivers doesn't look to be a viable candidate to dart anymore, no fault of his own. so I have to go stafford or bortles for rest of the year. ugh.

but the Ginger Kid came up big and I do love me some Hopkins this year. Even Stewart had a nice day.

But the Forsett injury hurt, both in points this week and moving forward. I am up 14 points and my opponent has Lafell tonight. Certainly still up for grabs but I really need a win.

Also need to find a replacement for Forsett.

Forsett out for the season a week after losing Dion Lewis for the season. Jordan Reed gets hurt late in a meaningless game, and his backup, Zach Ertz, gets hurt in the first half. That's three guys out in one day. Need Forte to come back in the worst way.

As for AJ Green, I think Dalton sucks and is trying to get him killed with some of those throws.

but Gates seeing two targets and making one catch is baffling and screws me up royally. SD receivers dropped more passes yesterday than Preston Parker has in his career. The rejuvenated KC defense wasn't any picnic either. I wouldn't write off Rivers yet though there comes a time when his only motivation will be personal stats.

Thomas Rawls and Carson Palmer bailed me out, also had a little help from Terrence Williams and Ahmad Bradshaw. I've got the Forte problem also, I may just start Langford anyway and hope for a 40/60 timeshare. With the Chicago WRs banged up all year, Langford may still have value.

but Cam and Rawls crushed it. Also had solid days from Demaryius, Walker, and Droughn.

Hoping Wests hammy isn't bad but I'll probably put in for Ware just in case.

But my opponent was having a shit week too, so it was OK. He had Carson Palmer, who has 5 points at halftime. I run to the grocery store. I get back late in the third quarter, and Palmer has 30! WTF! So now I need 50 points from McCoy and LaFell tonight. Not gonna happen.

but I am playing against Karlos Williams and James White in one league and have a slim lead. it's precarious at best, but 1 - 1 at least is assured.

i'm in the middle of the playoff race in both leagues slightly above .500.

In one league 5 of my top 6 draft picks have "survived" through one reason or another (mostly injury one for poor play).

Charles
Luck
Hyde
Keenan Allen
Andre Johnson

Jordan Matthews was the 6th pick. It's amazing I'm still competitive but that league allows just 25 waiver wire pickups and I'm at 24 because I had other injuries there like Tevin Coleman and bad picks like Charles Johnson. Just helps illustrate what a lot of people already know waivers and luck are just as important as the draft in head to head.

n one league 5 of my top 6 draft picks have NOT "survived

Traded bell for Julio and Stewart 2 weeks before he got knocked out for the season..

Picked up diggs a week before he blew up...

Traded moncrief for miller when miller was really struggling...

Drafted newton in the 11th...

When I had Bell and Forte. I had 4 good wr at the time Cooper, Green, Sanders, and Decker. Now I am hoping that Lacy is coming back after last game.

thats my only hope.

Tough season with Draft dissapointments and peaking high to early in the season so I couldn't get the benefit of the waiver wire.

C.J Anderson, Stewart (never scores TD's), Randall Cobb, Hilton with Luck being injured, and Tevin Coleman with his injury all killed me. I've now lost 4 in a row, 2 of which were by a margin of 3 points and .8 points. Sucks.

Fortunately, for it being a 1 player Keeper leageue, I just grabbed Jordy Nelson to keep as a 15th rd selection for next year. Got to hope to win my last two to get a playoff spot.

not much available really ever. It was my first year playing with that many teams though.

jameis put up 30 for me in place of Eli but ivory/cobb/diggs/hurns/nate all put up duds. And fucking ebron was pathetic in barnidge's place. jfc

4-7 and likely out the playoffs. fuckity fuck

Hope Eli/Odell can carry me to a championship on my 7-4 team.

Hopefully they keep McCoy out of the endzone and Gostkowski hits a couple 50 yarders. Didn't expect to win though with Eli, Beckham, Ingram and Barnidge all on byes and lucky to still have a chance after the early Forsett injury....

I may wind up winning this week (first time in a month)...I'm up 16, opponent has Patriots defense.

Injuries did my team in. I'm struggling to find decent backup players. Lucky bye weeks are almost over.

what is going on with Cobb? Is he getting doubled? 2 catches from supposedly the best receiver on that team is just weird. The TD was the only preventing him from having another disaster of a game. I am afraid to even use him at this point. I will roll with Emmanuel Sanders and Brandin Cooks from here on out.

but, I have 3 players tonight. Karlos Williams, Charles Clay (TE) and the Gronk.

Stafford vs. Eagles
Rivers @ Jax
Bortles vs. Charges.

Stafford is the obvious play, correct?

Killed by the Jeffrey injury in both leagues, Brown on the bye in one, and then everyone just shitting the bed: Ebron, Tamme, Austin, Lamar Miller, Latavius Murray, Chris Ivory, Amari Cooper...

Up 3 in one league and he's got Blount
Down 50+ in the other and I've got Brady & Blount

FML

secured a first round bye in the playoffs (playoffs begin this weekend in my league).

as a handcuff to Ivory going into the playoffs. Reed has an MCL so I will be dropping him and picking up Buck Allen. Other than that, I'm looking pretty solid.

and lynch rumored to have a hernia, I wonder if they just keep him out until the playoffs regardless of diagnosis.

As for fantasy I happened to pick up Rawls earlier this week and witty West having a pulled hammy, this would be a no brainier fill in.

is Spencer Ware worth a top waiver claim this late in the season?

West may miss 1 game by all accounts but he's the starter when healthy.

Who knows what to do for Baltimore. I expect them to be down every game and not run the ball well. Hoping others waste their waiver claims on whoever their new starter will be.

It'll be Buck Allen. I'm taking a flyer just on workload alone. Rawls isn't available and who is doesn't look very enticing.

i'm pretty much down to Woodhead and Lynch in the BBI kpr league but I can run out 3 WR 1 RB sets so I will just use Decker as my flex if Lynch can't go...

In the other league my team is just wrecked with injuries but I can still win the division if I win out...not gonna be easy. I clinched a WC spot but i'm taking on water.
