FF Thread 10-01 Happy October!!

Bernard was terrible (5.4 points) but I wouldn't trust Charles to get enough time to do better. With that said, I've been a dreadful commissioner thus far this year

and who would you play at wr in a standard:
Alshon vs Det
or
Evans vs Den

IMO

Brees
Miller
Beckham, landry
Bailey
Chiefs

Now I need a flex, a rb, and a wr.

Here are my 4 choice:
Forte vs seattle
Howard vs. Detroit
Beasley at San fran
Gronk vs buffalo.

Howard looks to be a lock. So then I need 2 of gronk, forte, and beasley. What says you BBI?

Just one of those things where I've had some bench guys outscore starters...so with that said, tread carefully with my start/sit advice

If it were me, I'd be starting Alshon.

I think people are asking you that because you meant being a bad owner not a bad commissioner.

Ah, I guess it's too early. Bad owner!

If you are in PPR, Forte and Beasley. Standard, Forte and Gronk. I do have a little hesitation recommending Gronk, because I believe he'll still have a snap count. However, Jimmy G is starting, and I like Gronk to get in the end zone this week.

Forte has a tough matchup. But you can't sit him.

Ware gets a lot of work. Gronk is a big ? esp with QB issues.

he's got a really low floor until Brady is back. 2 hurt QBs one of which will run and use the read option a lot if he plays. I'd rather know I'm getting 5-7 points from someone else than whatever Gronk may or may not get.

I'm one of those guys who can play anyone from any rival on my fantasy football team, but no way I could play Cole Beasley.

the mere sight of that troll-doll looking MFer just makes my skin crawl. I'd rather start Josh Norman at WR than Cole Beasley.

I know it's irrational and he's probably the safest play in ppr leagues, but just one of those things.

Witten, Dez (if healthy) Romo (if healthy), Elliott, etc. no problem, not Beasley.

Haha really? I felt he was one of the least hated cowboys players.

it's definitely funny, but I'd have no problem starting him, especially now. Terrence Williams is a guy I really want to pick up but he just sucks to damn badly (which is a good thing in real life).

It's the sight of him for one, reminds me of Chris Elliott from There's Something About Mary - when he was on Everybody Loves Raymond





and then there's the annoying gnat-like on-field antics where the Giants always seem to try and cover him with a slow linebacker.

he just pisses me off. like I said, irrationally. at least I can acknowledge it.

when he plays the Giants because he always looks like he's open. Probably why I think he's pretty good lol.

Oh I didn't think you were. But yeah the first time I saw him play I was like "who the fuck is this guy?". If they had any WR better than Williams it would be hard to stop that pass game.

I would still have Lamar Miller, Forte, Jordan Howard, Dixon and Derrick Henry.

I was hoping for Gordon to come back and solidify my WRs, as I have the Benjamins and Fitzgerald, and now unfortunately Cole Beasley.

What do you think? It’s a 12 team PPR. I considered countering with Russel Wilson and Forte (he has Ryan and Tyrod Taylor and I have Brady coming back as well)

My team (10 team standard) 1-2

QB Ben
RB C Sims, D Johnson, I Crowell, Jamaal, J Stewart (out, hammy)
WR E Sanders, D Thomas, R Cobb, Cruz, B Marshall, S Shepherd
TE Fleener
K Tucker
D/ST Bengals (got me 13 pts Thurs night, I stream D/ST)


Other team 3-0

QB Brees, Stafford
RB Blount, CJ, Lamar Miller, James White, Dwayne Washington, Gore
WR Marvin Jones, Brandin Cooks, Will Fuller
TE Ebron, Gronk
K Prater
D/ST Vikings

He's offering Blount and Gronk for David Johnson

Pros: Brady's coming back/Gronk working back into action
Blount solid thus far
I've got Jamaal back soon hopefully

Cons: Johnson outstanding/consistent
Gronk injury history = inconsistent
Blount no sure 'bell cow' Bill B uses a lot of combos historically

Would you pull the trigger? 10 team standard such a crapshoot

Starting or sitting?

Obviously it depends what your other options are but mine aren't very good. either Dwayne Washington (who I do think is going to see an expanded role in the coming weeks because Riddick is too small to be an early down back) or Chris Thompson.

So my choices are/ were

Eli vs Minn
Flacco vs Raiders
Wilson vs Jets
Smith vs Pittsburgh
New England QB vs Buffalo

I took Wilson because that game will be won through the air. Did I make the right choice????

There is no way I'd trade Gurley for Alshon. Alshon has hammy issues and Cutler is out. Alshon is averaging 6 targets a game.

Gurley is off to a slow start, but I still would rather have him than Alshon

Eli. Giants will not be able to run the ball, I think Eli is going to drop back 50 times.

I was thinking the same thing as well. I think Jeffrey actually has more hope with Hoyer playing. Would you consider the counter? The guy doesn’t really want Forte because he think he’s being overworked (and I think the same to an extent), which is why I would throw in Wilson with Brady coming back.

I'd probably do the counter, what are you trying to accomplish with the trade? Simply improve WR?

You can trade Gurley if you want, though it would be selling low, you just need to get more than Alshon.

to trade a RB - I think Howard will take that job in Chicago and Baltimore doesn’t have much of a choice other than getting Dixon in there when he’s healthy. If Murray ever gets hurt too, Henry has shown enough that he’ll be a RB2 easily. If I get rid of Forte and have Miller/Gurley, those guys will be excellent flex/bye week options.

I don’t have that luxury at WR - if anyone gets hurt and on the byes, Beasley is a starter (I had drafted Gordon and Rishard Matthews, a bid disappointment). I need more flexibility there.

I’d rather not give up Gurley - they have to get Keenum out of there soon, and I think his value will go up after that, Goff can’t be that bad, I think this is more of a case of Fisher trying to outsmart everyone else and losing games in return.

The Rams are 2 - 1. Somehow.

I have watched every game. Gurley needs to be literally 2 or 3 guys in the backfield (at least) on almost every play. The last game Keenum was actually making some plays so there was a little more room for Gurley and he found the end zone a couple times finally.

I think it loosens up for him and I do think Goff HAS to help. but the receivers are awful too. Kenny Britt and Tavon Austin?

Austin so talented but reminds me of Rueben Randle sometimes with his boneheadedness and he's not a traditional receiver.

*Gurley needs to *beat* literally....

forte in favor of Howard, Beasley, and Gronk.

I dont tihk Jets will do anything against Seattle. No decker. Fitzy throwing it.

I could actually bench Forte and just start McCoy and Sims at RB and then use Snead or Smith Sr. in my flex spot but I hate benching a RB1 because of a matchup.

9:30AM game tomorrow morning, JAX/IND in London.

and Diggs and Alshon Jeffrey. I could go 2/2 RB/WR or start 3 and 1. Different kind of scoring system, basically WR are sort of like a PPR while RB's arent't.
