Post your teams, your questions etc....
I actually had the last pick but we snaked our draft so I had the last and the first pick of every other round
I think I did pretty good especially with 14 teams in the league...
Reggie Wayne
Donald Driver
Johnny Knox
Ray Rice
Matt Forte
Jermicheal Finley
Mike Wallace
Thomas Jones
Big Ben Rapelisburger...hi earl :D
Danieal manning(DB who does returns)
Minnesota defense
still need a kicker, linebacker and a QB for the first 4 games
carson palmer is still available who is probably who I will snag but so is jay cutler...
-
I'd take Palmer over Cutler, just this year though lol.
-
Would definitely take Palmer over Cutler. I'd take him over Big Ben too.
That's a good team from the no. 14 spot in a 14-team league. Nice job.
Just had my two drafts, with zero prep. :-\ Came up with:
Winners League (from the six spot--my favorite)
QB: Rivers, Ryan
RB: Gore, Mendenhall, Portis, T. Jones, Dixon
WR: S. Smith, Driver, T.O., A. Gonzalez
TE: Winslow
K: Vinateiri
DEF: Giants
Regular League (from the 2 spot--hate that spot)
QB: Palmer, McNabb
RB: Peterson, Matthews, Spiller, Dixon, Gerhart
WR: D. Jackson, T.O., S. Moss, Edwards
TE: Winslow
K: Kaeding
DEF: Niners
Both twelve team leagues. Not HP scoring.

How the *uck did Ray Rice fall to #14? My rankings had him as the #3 pick. Insane.
This year is the year of the WR. The disparity between the top WRs and the lower is greater than it is for RB and QB. Sleeper pick for me: Jay Cutler.

LOL iono man Ive seen some rankings that had him lower though thinking he may not have as great a yr as last yr but him and reggie wayne were my first 2 picks
I agree with you about the wide recievers and that how I normally draft I didnt last year and it cost me b/c my wr would only get like 6 points a game or so even though my rb got like 15 a game.
This year I took it a step further and took a good TE early b/c the desparity between a good tightend and a bad one is pretty big imo.
didnt even draft a kicker or a linebacker I picked those 2 up in free agency.
-
In a 10 team league, combined points, QB TD pass is worth 6, I was picking 10th:
QB Romo (ugh, but he does put up some points, good thing the league doesn't play into the real playoffs lol)
RB Gore
RB Thomas St. Piere
WR Deshawn Jackson
WR Harvin Percy
TE Vernon Davis
K Crosby
DST Packers
notable back ups:
RB R. Williams
WR Meechum
I not too thrilled about this draft. My Wide outs are iffy, my second sunning back is iffy too. but I'm a bit cynical. I don't really like picking last. Like BB said, middle of the draft is best
Tony, How does a "linebacker" work in your league?
-
in our league Linebackers and defensive backs get
1 point per solo tackle
.5 per assisted tackle
2 points for recovering a fumble or intercepting a ball
1 point for causing a fumble
1 point for blocking a pass
6 points for a touchdown
1 point for every 15 yds the get while scoring a TD
they can also get 1 point for every 15 yds they get on punt/kick returns but i dont think there is a linebacker in the league that does that...if there is please let me know ASAP ;D
some Defensive backs do though like my guy manning and will blackmon so those guys are pretty good pick ups and most ppl dont know about them either b/c they dont look at return yds.

thats the way my league is to with the 6 points per passing td, which is one reason I think rice lasted so long in my league...
youre wide recievers are kinda sketchy and I swear desean jackson is out for the first 4 games...maybe you could trade a RB for one...ricky williams is a decent rb maybe him and wr for a good WR from another team
-
I start 3 WR's......between Boldin, Marshall, Welker, TO and Harvin......what do you guys think?
-
I start 3 WR's......between Boldin, Marshall, Welker, TO and Harvin......what do you guys think?
Boldin and TO between the other 3 Id say either welker or harvin...Id go with harvin if i knew he wouldnt get pulled for a migraine but he is supposed to be their punt and kick off return guy this year so if he stays healthy he will be a good player...
welker is another good one but with edle...whatever his name is playing and honestly playing as good as welker he may get less playing time in order to keep them both healthy...
Id say harvin for this week
-

I'd go with Boldin, Welker, and T.O.
-
I hate the Boldin vs Revis match-up.....but you have to play him. I agree on TO with you guys, I think he's going to have a nice season.
i want to see Marshall in the regular season first.
Between Welker and Harvin, I'm leaning towards Harvin with Rice out, cause Favre is going to keep winging it and who is he going to throw to? I love Welker though......in our league you do get 6pts for receiving TD's, so that does hurt Wes a little because with all those catches, he rarely scores a TD...
Thanks fellas.

I think TEs are mostly irrelevant. With the exception of the top three or four, they score about 0 to 3 on any given Sunday. I don't draft them till the 7th round or later.
Jackson is playing.

I agree which is why I tried to draft a top TE, the difference between a top tier WR and a 2nd tier WR isnt as big as a top tier TE and 2nd tier TE so I think you get a net gain by going good TE and decent WR...just me though...this is my first year to try this so Ill see how it goes...
I think i picked up my TE round 3...LOL but the round after I drafted 6 other TE's went, I started a trend ;D

Third round is too early for a TE, but Gates, Gonzo, and Davis went around there in my drafts. Earliest I would go is 5th for one of those guys. My focus that early is RBs and a QB. I'd rather have a solid backup RB than a top tier TE.

See the way I was thinking difference between a good WR and a decent one is bigger than between RB so I drafted WR first more so than RB and a good TE is basically another WR so....
-
I decided at the last minute to bench Harvin..... 8) i went with boldin, TO and Marshall.
On the TE subject....our league is a keeper league in its 12th year. I've had Gates since late in his rookie season and last year before the season a guy released Vernon Davis, who I snapped up.....very happy to have both of them.

14 team league
1 was 1st pick
1. (1) Chris Johnson (Ten - RB)
2. (28) Calvin Johnson (Det - WR)
3. (29) Miles Austin (Dal - WR)
4. (56) Ahmad Bradshaw (NYG - RB)
5. (57) Hines Ward (Pit - WR)
6. (84) Thomas Jones (KC - RB)
7. (85) LaDainian Tomlinson (NYJ - RB)

16. (224) David Buehler (Dal - K)
17. (225) Fred Davis (Was - TE)
18. (252) Derrick Ward (Hou - RB)
I dropped Fred Davis and handcuffed Johnson by picking up Javon Ringer
-
Calvin Johnson falling to 28 is just insane to me.
All my rankings, including those with pts per reception and without, had him much higher. He and Andre Johnson could easily be top 3.
Anyway, looks like a good team.
-
QB's....Cutler and Romo
RB's.....S, Jackson and Ryan Grant
WR's....Boldin, Welker, Marshall, Harvin, TO and S. Rice (pip)
TE's......Gates and V. Davis
K.....Akers
Def.......Giants
10 team league.
-
2nd back options:
Brandon Jacobs vs. Carolina or Jonathan Stewart vs. Giants?

I was giddy that he was still there and then Miles too. I believe my best value pick will be Thomas Jones and Santonio Holmes once he back from suspension.

In a ten team league, the same happened to me. I picked Andre Johnson with the 5th, and then got Calvin 16th.
Holmes is a good one to. I grabbed V Jackson off waivers hoping he returns. It's a better risk than holding a third TE or something.
-
2nd back options:
Brandon Jacobs vs. Carolina or Jonathan Stewart vs. Giants?
i like Stewart.....Carolina is going to have to run the ball with their impotent passing game....even with Smith. Jacobs was terrible last year and I want to see what he has this year.....plus I think Carolina's def is pretty solid.....although young.
-
Sure glad I was smart enough not start Welker.... :-\ :'(
-

Well, I didn't listen, until about an hour before, then I did. It cost me about five points.
I'm down 7 with Boldin and Bowe vs. Floyd and Gates. Should be interesting... ;D

The Panthers are idiots. Why not punch it in with either Stewart or Williams? Sorry about my bad advice.
I have Boldin too.....so we can be on the same side tomorrow night !! 8)

I think Kubiak is a good coach. He's done wonders for Schaub, even though him and AJ screwed me this week. ;D

LOL I agree I dont understand why everybody is calling for his head down here...
LOL foster was going to be my semi sleeper pick i snagged in the 5 or 6th round this year but he got picked up in the 2nd round or so...
kinda pissed me off he had such a good day even though I was rooting for the Texans.
-
A new coach is in order.
I agree. Fox is an 8-8, 9-7 kinda coach who isn't going to improve them enough....witness the passing game being so weak for so long. The guy isn't willing to change anything enough....you have to adapt quickly in the NFL.
i saw Cowher here in Ral a few months ago at the pharmacy. this was before his wife passed away.
-

No worries on that, my man. Your advice was sound. I'm a Giants fan, and I knew Jacobs had lost the starter tab, so I moved it.
Go Boldin!
-
Dumb ass me. I knew I should have started Orton over Smith. I'm winning anyway and still got Jones tonight against SD.
-
I DID, I DID... ;D
it does put me in a little bind though b/c i also have finley and driver as well so if i play him i have 3 ppl on the same offense.
So I have thomas jones, ray rice, matt forte and brandon jackson now...
I think ray rice is a given and jackson is playing the bills this week who dont have the best defense.
You guys think thats a good move or should I start jones or forte over jackson?
-
Not sure who to start, but I actually had picked him up a few weeks ago as I have Ryan Grant.....insurance baby!
But, I also have Steven Jackson.

LOL I picked him up the day grant was placed on the IR list...I watched the first game and thought he was a decent rb so when they said grant was out I immediately snagged him up ;D
I think he will pay dividends

I did. :) Who do GB and Chicago play?

I'd probably go with Jackson. I can see GB getting a lead and running the ball a lot in the second half.

Grabbed V Jackson off the waiver wire in week one after someone dropped him. If he gets traded before Wed, it could be huge.

Iono man wouldnt he still have to sit out the next 4 games?
I doubt he gets traded from what i hear they would have to pay him close to 9 million a year and also pay out his contract to the chargers...
you gotta be pretty desperate to go that far

Yes, he'd be ready by week 5.
No waiver pick up will have that impact. From my standpoint, it was better than carrying Derrick Ward!

hahahah how many spots do you have to field every week and how many bench spots do you have?
-
hahahah how many spots do you have to field every week and how many bench spots do you have?
QB
2RB
2WR
1 Flex
TE, K, D
9 on the bench. Plenty of room. If V Jackson does play, that makes my WRs Andre Johnson, V Jack, Boldin with Bowe on the bench. That's really good.

QUESTION
I need a defense for this week
im thinking seattle, st. louis, atlanta
seattle and st. louis are playing each other.
atlanta is playing san fran who is turn over prone it seems
any thoughts also NYG is playing chicago and indy is playing jacksonville all these teams are available...
im not doing so hot 1-2 so i need to pick this game up to not fall to far behind... :-\

I would think Sea or STL are the best options, as even on big weeks they don't score that much.
Then I think Indy because of the match-up and they have played decent the last 2 weeks.
Chi could put up some points against NYG.
Same with SF....they are a better offense than they have shown.

I'd go with Seattle. Steven Jackson is dinged and the Rams--despite their success--are playing with a rookie QB. They tend to throw INTs in bunches.

yes yes thanks beach and show i shall let you guys know how I do this weekend

I picked up Vick as a FA a couple of weeks ago....now I have people dying to trade for him, he is avg 30pts a game in our format. I already have Cutler and Romo, so he is expendable. Should I go after DeSean Jackson or Ray Rice? Both have been offered straight up for him.

desean jackson and one other player seems fair to me
I have ray rice and he really hasnt done dittle squat this season so far.
Shoot Id probably keep vick and trade romo if I were you

I'm thinking seriously about doing that. Vick is smoking right now. I wanted D. Jackson and the guys 1st rd pick next season....this is a dynasty league that has been around 15 yrs......but he wouldn't do it.

;D I like the way you think
next season will be the first year we keep players
-
I'd keep Vick over Romo too.
Tony I picked up Seattle's D and dropped the Giants for this week.
-
To those of you who don't know... the Patriots have two rookie tight ends that are competing for ROI and OROTHY. Both are going to be pro bowl level players, imo.
Pick up Aaron Hernandez. I'd say Gronkowski as well, but he is also a big time blocker for us so he's not running routes as much right now. He is targeted in the red zone often, though. Teams have no answer for them due to Welker and Moss.
-

I sat the Giants D, TO and Eddie Royal this week.......and started Vick......PIP :'(
i still have a shot with Welker and Marshall tonight...

I need Welker to score less than 12 to survive my gaffe. So much luck involved in this game. :-\
-
LOL well seattles D didnt get my that much but they got me enough to sneak by this week by about 5 points or so...
I actually was really close to trading for both vick and cutler this past week b/c I have palmer and need a producing QB...man im glad i didnt decide to take any one of those trades
-
New defense question...
I noticed this week that our Def actually gets points for punt/kick off return yards(a unforseen by product of some changes to the score settings this season)
so...
whos the best for this week? (the bolded teams are the ones available)
st louis vs detroit...both these teams are available
Carolina vs. chicago...Im thinking this is a good one if cutler is going to be out but I have forte who might play this week
Kansas city vs. indy
ATL vs. cleveland...both teams are available
jacksonville vs buffalo
Im thinking either carolina especially if cutler is out for the week
-

I also like Atl vs Cle.
-
I also like Atl vs Cle.
I do too, I have cribbs playing too and since the D gets points for returns I could actually get double points for his returns...
I just dont know how often ATL will score...or did you mean ATLs D?
I like them too b/c I dont think cleveland will score to much and they will be forced to punt pretty often...
-
another question...
Matt forte vs Carolina
Thomas jones vs. Indy
Ray Rice vs Denver
I can only play two
Im thinking jones for one, iono about forte but rice has been sucking it up this season
any ideas?
-
I meant ATL's d, but if you get points for Cribbs....it's a toss up.
I would start Jones and Forte. If Cutler is out, Chi will rely more on him...his ypc will suck, but who care in fantasy...haha
Plus if Cutler is in, he loves to throw to Forte.
Rice has looked awful this season.
-
ok so I dropped brandon jackson and picked up ryan torain the back up to portis since i saw him run last week and liked what I saw and b/c portis is out for 4 or 5 weeks.
So now which 2
forte
torain
thomas jones
ray rice...
I thinking torain for sure but not sure between forte and jones...
cutler is out this week so forte and taylor should get a good amount of carries but forte has been shut down the last 2 weeks especially last week and they are playing carolina who I snagged up for my defense
-
un mas...
carson palmer or shaun hill?
palmer plays cleveland this week which i think could actually be a good game for him FINALLY
shaun hill plays st. louis this week
-
squeeeeeeked by with a win by 1.3 points this week...
benched both forte and ray rice who both had about 30 points games >:(
rapelisburger comes back this week so I finally can be rid of palmer and his inconsistancy and they are playing the browns which should be a good game for them.
picked up the giants D, brent celek and ted ginn jr. too...
Finley out for a month :'( rogers out which means i probably take out driver... :-\
lots of moving around this week
-
i tried to tell you about Forte vs Carolina....
I won based on Percy Harvin last night....so glad Vikings have Moss to take some of the heat off of him.

ya I know :-[
I just didnt like the idea that he hadnt scored any running touchdowns since week 13 or so of last year...
i dropped thomas jones I think they are moving away from him in favor of charles now. I think im going to play forte and torain this week. Torain did absolutely dick for me this week but he plays indy this week so I think he should have a good week.
-
ok i have made a little bit of a come back i am now 4-2 after 3 straight wins...
this week i have a defense problem
I have the giants who have been great at times but crappy others and they are playing dallas at dallas
KC is available and are playing jacksonville at home and if garrad is still out I like there chances to get a couple turn overs and maybe a touchdown.
New England is available to who is playing at san diego who have just been horrible this season...
Im thinking KC but the giants if they play the way they have been playing would be good

I'd go with KC, as the Cowboys and Chargers are at least capable of having big offensive games. Jax has a stank offense with or without Garrard.
I'm 5-1 and in 1st place by myself at this point. Need to find a TE as Gates and V. Davis are both hurt ! I'm bidding on Ben Watson from Cle.

Oh man, I really like Finley too. Rodgers relys on him heavily and he is a freak athlete. Hated to see him get hurt.

lol ya and I drafted him pretty early too, he had more yards than all my WR's except reggie wayne
-
Advices, please.
I have a strong group of WRs. I usually start Andre Johnson, Boldin, and B Edwards, but I've recently been favoring Kenny Britt for Edwards. I also have Dwayne Bowe who seems to be getting hot, and Manningham.
My RBs are not so strong - I have Mendenhall as a mainstay, but rotate Brandon Jacobs, Jon Stewart, and BJG Ellis in the #2 spot. Jacobs has been getting more touches, and maybe homo Stewart might actually do something if Deangelo Williams is really hurt.
I was offered McFadden for A Johnson, but refused it. He also has Peyton Hillis, Ahmad Bradsaw in addition to Mcfadden.
Would you guys offer up Boldin for one of those three? Are they upgrades over my #2 RB rotation?

I think all 3 are an upgrade to what you currently have, but without knowing your scoring system and lineup limits, my thing is to always just add up what the avgs would be before the trade and then what it would be afterwards. Bowe or Manningam aren't bad to plug into the lineup in place of Boldin.
As for me, I just traded Percy Harvin for Fitzpatrick from Buffalo. My QB's were Cutler, Romo and Vick before the trade. I'm pretty happy with the deal.

I think you were right to pass up on that deal, Im not a believer or mcfadden but I think if you could get hillis or bradshaw for johnson that would probably be good.
Its opportunity cost man you cant play all the good receivers you have so they just ride the bench. You could use them though to beef up your rb's. Look ahead at their respective schedules especially if your looking like you will make the playoffs and see which ones have favorable match ups and which dont then make an offer.
-
Thanks guys, I appreciate you taking the time. We're trading a few ideas back and forth. I might be able to get Hillis without giving up A Johnson.
Stoppa - I have Cutler too in both my leagues. I figured he was a steal with Martz being adding to the mix, and it appeared that way at the beginning of the year. Lately, not so much. I'm using Rothlesberger in one, and picked up Stafford off waivers in the other. I also think you did well with your trade.
Tommy - I agree about McFadden. I think he just had a fluke week.
-
Made some what I think are good pick ups which could be crucial come playoffs if i make them.
Snagged reggie bush about 3 weeks ago hoping that he would be ready for last week as I had 8 ppl on bye but still hopeful he will be back after their bye week.
Snagged vernon davis after his owner dropped him possibly b/c of his injury and his bye week this week. Im hearing that his ankle isnt as bad as first thought and he should be back after this week. Which after losing finley will be a welcome player since my TE's have been sucking it up.
Also snagged brett farve after he was dropped last week who may not be consistant but I think will have good match ups where he puts up big numbers.
This brings me to my question:
I have both big ben and now farve, ben is playing cincy this week and farve is playing arizona...
I think ben is the safe play but then again i can see farve going off against arizona...
any advice?

i would go with Ben. Big match-up on a monday night..... The Vikings are lacking in weapons on offense....
-
Jets will take the bowl this year, unless the pats get moss back.
-
Nice pickups, Tony.
I agree with the poster who said go with Big Ben. Crappy week notwithstanding, I think he's more consistent. I generally don't like playing matchups too much, since these guys will get their points by year end, but it's hard to pick which games they will do it in.
I made the mistake of starting J Stewart over BenJarvus GE last week, because of this. It cost me high score.
As for late season playoff run stuff, I grabbed Stafford for last week and he was a beast, and I've held Vincent Jackson since the second week.
-
I'm debating whether to start Vick or Fitzpatrick this week......
-
I'm debating whether to start Vick or Fitzpatrick this week......
Vick. D Jackson is back, and the Colts are injured. The Bills still suck.
-
Vick. D Jackson is back, and the Colts are injured. The Bills still suck.
That is the way I'm leaning too....althought Fitz numbers have been great since he got the starting job.....a fresh Vick could put up some big ones.
-
That is the way I'm leaning too....althought Fitz numbers have been great since he got the starting job.....a fresh Vick could put up some big ones.
He has. I think Fitz has averaged around 20 fantasy pts per start, depending on league. Vick could go nuts though, and, as said, Indy's hurting. Fitz is a great alternative, though.
My second RB dilemma continues. Do I annoit BJGE as my full time starter? It's just that J Stewart is starting and HAS to get better. Right? Plus, Jacobs seems to score a TD every week now..

Stewart is a tough call.....Carolina sucks so bad that they tend to fall behind and have to abandon the run...he is so talented though...I would lean more towards BJGE at this point, but its not an easy call.

Thanks, show. That's what I'm going to do.

yea i actually picked up and started stewart this week playing it "safe" I was also looking at mike hart who had a pretty good game and beanie wells who had a good game...
I would have lost either way but stewart was a horrible disappointment.

ok so I a dude in my league proposed a trade to another manager and it was for tom brady in exchange for frank gore...on the surface it looks on the level
However
when you look at the details being the team getting brady has flacco who has only 10pts less than brady on the season so that doesnt help him much if any. The team trading away gore also is out of the playoffs and the team getting gore is definitely in. The team getting gore has either knowshon moreno or brandon jackson as their 2nd rb. The trade came one day after brady missed practice for the first time this season with a sprained foot. The trade was put in the day of the end of trading deadline and the two are cousins that work together.
The trade got denied and the guy who was going to get gore is pissed LOL
my question is would you have voted against the trade? if so for what reason, seems shady? dont want the other guys team to get stronger?

I wouldn't have voted against the trade. The only trades I vote against are ones that show obvious collusion. I wouldn't trade Gore for Brady, but it's not the kind of trade that demonstrates collusion IMO.
-

I agreed when I first looked at it...
then I started seeing things like brady not helping the guys team very much, him not being in the playoffs, it being submitted the day after brady missed a practice due to a sprained foot it just doesnt make sense to me...
we charge 5 bucks for trades so a team that will not make the playoffs logically wouldnt trade for anyone b/c he would just be paying extra money to not make playoffs...
just seemed very fishy to me...
-
When I first read it I thought it was fine.
But, now that the Gore guy is out, what is the purpose of the trade? Do you still make $ for high score of the week, because that is the only reason for a team like that to make a trade.
If not, I have to admit it sounds like collusion.

Yeah. It sounds a little fishy. It could also just be a dumb trade.
I see your point on paying 5 bucks, although you could argue that every team should compete until the season is over, regardless of whether they're making the playoffs.
-
The only thing that "might" make it legit is if you guys carry over playes to next season. Brady is still a good name recognition and could command trade value. I wouldn't trade Gore for him, but thats just me.
I'm in a league where we all have known each other for years, but there are 3 brothers in it that you have to keep an eye on.

Titans defense against the Miami Dolphins OR Eagles D at Washington?
I'm leaning towards the Titans coming off a bye week. I'm thinking the Eagles might be due for a letdown against a division rival, coming off a big win.

I think I would go titans, they put up a butt load of points in our league

that was my main point too, you dont get any money unless you finish top 3 so if he was able to make the playoffs Id say alright but he is out of the playoffs. There is no point to continue to add/drop players b/c we charge for that or trade since we charge for that as well...
-
Yeah. It sounds a little fishy. It could also just be a dumb trade.

that was the argument the guy getting gore was saying but...at the same time the guy giving up gore lost more potential points than he gained...
his qb flacco had only 10pts less on the season than brady and after this week will probably have more. So it was a lateral move qb wise but he was giving up a star RB in order to not gain much if any in a starting qb?
-

we never have but have talked about doing so next season, nothing has been finalized though. Also this is the first season the guy thats not making playoffs and giving up gore has played. To be honest I really dont see him playing again next season he is 2 and 7 right now...

You guys should give the carry over league a shot.....I have played in seasonal in the past and carry over is much better....alot of seasonal is just getting lucky in the draft, where carry over you kinda build a team.....we protect a certain number and then draft from all the FA's plus rookies. I ended up getting TO in the 1st rd of our draft as the other guys took rooks......guess who is in first place? ;D
Seasonal guys just seem to lose interest. We have had to replace a few owners over the years, but the league was started before you could even sign-up for online....we refer to it as the old AFL days, we used to calculate it by hand on Tuesdays.....hahaha..... The carry-over gives guys the chance to just make that one good trade or to hit it big in the draft with a high pick the next season.
-
Santonio Holmes at Cleveland or Hines Ward at home against NE?
-
Santonio Holmes at Cleveland or Hines Ward at home against NE?
NE will take it.
-
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.
I rarely play matchups, under that assumption that the players will get their numbers, but I can't pick who they get it against.
BUT, I thought Mario Manningham had a good one with S Smith out, so I started him. He had 91 yds and a TD. But I replace Bowe, who had 184 and 2 TD. Bowe was supposed to be shut down by Bailey.
Cost me 17 points. Now I trail by 20 with Mendenhall and Philly's D against S Moss. I have a small chance, but cost myself high score of the week, most likely the game, and potential playoff spot. SHIT SHIT SHIT.
-
The sorry ass Giants defense killed me !!!!!! I have Vick left, but he's gonna have to be a monstah !!!
-
LOL i got saved by rapelisburger and mike wallace they combined to give me over 45 points and a 10 point win this week.
I thought I was screwed going into the night game and had all but stopped watching the game to study when they started scoring again.
-
VICK !!!! He saved my butt.....funny thing I was down by 33 pts going into the game and the other guy had Macklin, Celeck and S. Moss starting, I thought I had no chance....wow.....and to think I picked him up as a free agent !!!
-

Congrats dude.
I probably threw out my season in one of my leagues by starting Jacobos over BJGE, dropping Heath Miller in favor of Dressen, and the whole Manningham over Bowe fiasco. Any one of those moves changed and I'm tied for first. Now I'm in the middle of a league with ridiculous parity. FUCK.
-
thinking about snagging a qb for this week...kitna or hill? they play each other...
-
All I needed was McNabb to not throw a pick six, and I win (facing Eagles D). >:( Lost by two points.
-

I'd go with Kitna. The Cowboys might turn it around and they have so many weapons on offene.
-

Its a shame Billy Kilmer isnt around anymore he could get the job done with those flopping throws (no spiral) but always on target. ;D

True, but Hill has Megatron. That's tough to pass up.
-
True, but Hill has Megatron. That's tough to pass up.
CJ is awesome, but i think Dallas has a better chance of slowing him down than the Det defense does slowing down Kitna an Co. It's not an easy choice though.
-
ok kitna or big ben rapelisburger?
i think kitna could go off and ben just got lucky last week b/c the pats didnt even try in the 4th quarter...
-

I didn't know you had raplisburger. You should just keep him in the rest of the year.
-
I didn't know you had raplisburger. You should just keep him in the rest of the year.
rapelisburger had another good game kitna actually would have got me like .5 more points but thats ok rapelisburger was the safer pick...
Kitna does have a good match up first week of play offs playing indy which could be a shoot out and ben is playing the ravens so I may use him that week.
Ive done pretty well moveing into at worst a 2 way tie for 2nd hopefully a 3 way tie for 1st.
still not a lock to get in just yet but I think im a 90% lock for a spot in the playoffs.
how are you guys doing?
-
I got HAMMERED this week.....nobody on my team did anything and it seemed like a huge week for everybody else. Good news is the guy I was tied for 1st with lost also, so still tied for 1st.

Congrats.
I have a 41 pt lead tonight and my opponent has Rivers. If I hold on, I'm 8-3, in 1st and a lock for the playoffs.
In my other league, I'm 5-6, but somehow still in it because that whole league is very tight. The thing is, I like the team I have in that league better than the other one.
Just need to make the finals in one of the leagues to recoup the investment.....
-
In my winner's league I'm about lose my second in a row to drop to 8-3. Still in first place in my division. Three game lead with three to play.
In my regular league, as long as Eddie Royal scores 22 or less, I'll win my 7th in a row after starting 0-4. Now only a half game out of first place.
-

Wallace, Wayne, Floyd.

Forgot if you have a flex back or not Tommy.
QB is a toss up. I hate sitting starters based on matchups, but Ben has a tough one and I think we have to wait a few days to see his health.
Rice / Forte
Wallace/Wayne/Floyd

Locked up a playoff spot in one league, but the season could be decided tonight in the other. One game out of first, playing that team. If I lose, no playoffs. All because of one fucking substitution that I can't let go.
Tonight he has Vick, Foster, and Rackers. Ugh...
I have A Johnson, Dressens, and the Eagles D.
I need him not to have both of those two go ape shit. In other words, I need the Eagles offense to come from the defense, and Houston's offense to be in the air. Very tough, since it's a great matchup for Vick on paper.
-
Well, that didn't go very well.....
-
My team has taken a big shit in the last month. I started out 7-2 but have dropped to 7-5 with one game to play and tied for the division lead. Peyton manning is playing like shit, Desean Jackson has become a pussy ever since he got that concussion. Joseph Addai looks like he'll never come back this season. Already lost Dallas Clark for the season. Cedric Benson sucks this year. My team has so many holes going into the playoffs.
My only saving grace is that T.O. and Santonio Holmes are playing well.
-
Vick and TO have been carrying me.... Marshall, Boldin and s. Jackson have been big letdowns. I have Gates and V. Davis at TE and neither one can stay healthy.... :-\
-

playoffs??? PLAYOFFS????
thats right folks were talking about playoffs...
I won my game which puts me tied for 3rd but relegated to 4th on points, I play the 5th seed this week who romped me earlier in the season 170 to like 80 or something...
going to be a good one, here is a link I found with good match ups for the upcoming fantasy playoff weeks.
http://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/blog/roto_arcade/post/Tip-Drill-Five-keys-to-surviving-and-winning-?urn=fantasy-291165
I decided to employ a new tactic, I am going to bench all my players until the day they play so that my opponent cant see how we stack up and possibly help them decide who they will play or possibly pick up to help better their team...more of a psychological stunt than practical but lol im sure it will get under some ppls skin ;D

whatever you do do not start floyd.
Flowers is one of the top cb's in the league this year. He'll be matched up with floyd no doubt. Plus its a divisional game, both teams know whats coming.
just my 2cents
-
Jesus Christ...the one good game Manning has in more than a month, and his own fucking rookie receiver prevented him from throwing 3 touchdowns.
Actually should have been at least 4 TD passes. Reggie Wayne needs to learn to keep his balance after the catch.
But hey...for a 1st round playoff game, I'll take the 28 points.
-
Wayne did well.
not bad got me 7+ points was projected at 8+ but still pretty good a TD would have been great though
my opponent had donald brown playing who only got him 5 points so I feel pretty good with my WR pulling down more than one of his RB
-

LOL no damn doubt man, even if he had stumbled once or twice and jumped it would have been a TD
Ive actually seen him do this 2 or 3 times this season where he had beaten the CB by a couple yards but feel after making the catch...

Need to win to get the 4th and final playoff spot. Also, another team has to lose, but he's playing the highest scoring team. The guy I'm playing has Wayne and Manning in the bag already.
QB is Cutler because that all I have. After that, I have two RB, 3 WR or 2 WR and one Flex. No PPR. Kind of stuck on what to do this week, as I normally play the same guys, but this week is critical:
RBs: Mendenhall, Jacobs, BJGE, J Stewart
WRs: A Johnson, Bowe, Boldin, Manningham, B Edwards
TE: Dressen, Gronkowski
For the first time, I was considering sitting a WR in favor of J Stewart, Jacobs, or BJGE.
I think Mendenhall and A Johnson are must starts. Bowe is iffy even though he's the #1 receiver in FFB, but Cassell is most likely out.

yea i think mendenhall is a good one its supposed to be pretty bad weather tomorrow to so that may give him more carries than usual. BJGE i think would be another RB start for me,
yea I would roll with johnson too, the others I would say boldin b/c houstons secondary blows
iono I think a rb at your flex seems good or maybe manningham I know hes been kinda crappy but i think if smith and whats his face come back he may pick up.
but if you roll with a RB i think stewart is a good choice over jacobs

Playoff week for me. My running backs have been a disaster. Too many injuries.
I have Tomlinson against the Dolphins or Thomas Jones against the Chargers?
I'm leaning toward LT because I think he's due for a breakout game. I don't know if I trust Jones sharing the ball with Jamal Charles.
Opinions would be appreciated, thanks.

I'd go with LT.......but one thing to think about is that if Cassel doesn't play, KC is going to run the ball a lot. Sorry, I didn't help much, huh?

I like LT too, I think KC will be playing from behind most of their game so I think they maybe forced to through the ball whether they like it or not.

what happens if the vikings/giants game gets postponed past this playing week?
I dont have anyone playing but my opponent has the vikings kicker who I could see having a good game...
Ive read it just counts as a bye week in fantasy but iono doesnt seem right...
anybody have any experience or ideas?

First, thanks for the advice - I did go with Stewart. Keeping Boldin in too.
Your commissioner and you should get to an understanding before. I think the other guy should be able to do an "emergency" waiver pick for a K that gets automatically substituted, but only the other game is canceled.
-

Thanks, I agree about LT.
I'm thinking that the Chiefs will be playing from behind. San Diego is desparate. The game may end up being a Chargers blowout with Cassel not playing.
LT was playing almost like a #1 back in the first 6 weeks of the season. Then the Jets started playing Greene more. I'm hoping he breaks out and gives me at least 10-15 points.

If it ends up counting as a bye in my fantasy league, there will be some pissed off people(especially being a playoff week)! My opponent this week has the Vikings D and he has no backup on his roster.

Jets trying to pull some thug stuff on the sidelines. I thought better of them.

driver .8 points
floyd on the bench 14+ points...
:-X

i knew I should have started kitna over rapesy
thats alright ill perfect the line up next week
-
rofl, ouch. Ill take the flak for that one. I thought with no gates, the chiefs would key in on floyd. Instead they threw arenas and carr on him.

exactly he has been my guy for the last couple weeks, he is like having another wide receiver slot instead of a tight end man

Flex starter for week 15: Holmes, Javarris James or Arrelious Benn?
-
I went with Benn, but should have went with Holmes. Hell next week I'll go with Javon Ringer even though he's just my handcuff!
-
got some luck and am still in it although its going to be a close one
rice got me 31 pts and kitna got me 22 or so
im up by about 8 points with new englands defense and daniel manning a DB on chicago to play(he does kick off returns)
he has chicagos defense and chad greenway of minnisota to play
gonna be a close one winner goes to the finals ;D
-
ok I got some breathing room, the pats defense got me 22 pts so I now have a 30 point lead going into tomorrow nights game
i have manning(safety for chicago who also does returns)
he has chicagos defense and chad greenway(LB for the vikings)
-
I lost by 3 lousy points...... Vick was against my own Def, so that killed me......and I only got 6pts between TO, Boldin, Welker and Davis....ouch !!!

They tore it up all season, and then playoffs and they ALL lay eggs..... i thought Welker would pull it out for me last night, but that was a weird game.
worst part? i had Brandon Marshall on the bench....... :'(

Played a guy in the semis who averaged 155 points a week and was high scorer six times. He finally had his dud week and put up 99.
I have 85 but with Cutler and Forte going tonight. Please, no blizzard. Please. Kicking myself for not swapping BJGE for Forte. It would be over.

You are in decent shape....if its clear Cutler will be winging it.....if too nasty, a heavy dose of Forte might get you the win.

i think youll get it done, i dont expect either one to have a great game but 15 pts between the two seems pretty solid.

Rule #1 of FBB finals: Never sit Forte against the Jets and put in BJGE against Buffalo. It will cost you the title.
Lost Andre Johnson right before game time and put in Mike Williams. Left Meecham on the bench with all his points.
Boldin sucks.
That is all.

LOL i had a 130 game last week and the guy who beat me had 140 to go to the championship
the other side of the brackets loser scored 76 the winner 89 last week to get to the championship ::)
this week i have a 114 game my guy scores 134 to beat me for third
the finals, the guy who beat me scores 106 and the winner scores 115...
the playoffs are such luck its kinda crappy to see an entire season come down to one game/one player

Ditto my man
next year we will try and get it going earlier so we can get draft ideas...
I think dual eligibility is a big deal i found out this year so maybe we can help each other out next season before the draft with little tid bits
-
I will probably hit you guys up when we have to make our cuts in the offseason.

were holding ppl over for the first time this year, when do you guys make cuts?
I was thinking the cut off for rosters for the NFL but I dont know when that is. I think its like the 3rd or 4th week of preseason?

We do a pre-draft cut, so that you get some quality FA's to look at for the draft, our draft is usually in July, so we make that cut some time a few weeks before.....then we make a cut the week before the final pre-season game. so people can kinda maybe catch an unknown.....and our draft includes FA's and all rookies.
I have Vick, Romo, Fitz and Tebow.....need to trade at least one of them for some picks.

LOL honestly i think vick's production is going to go down to that of a regular qb sooner or later, were already seeing it kinda...he will still have breakout games probably more than the rest of the qb's but nothing like this year has been.
you could probably get a few draft picks for him from a person with a vick hard on ;D
buddy of mine has brady and vick and im thinking of offering him my first and maybe a later round pick for brady like 6th or something.

Thats what I've been thinking too.....hope Vick holds it together and I think I could get a lot for him in the offseason.... I should have unloaded Marshall to a couple of Dolphin fans in my league.....could have had Bowe straight up for him early in the season....damn..... I'm not sure what to do with Boldin....

the ravens offense is a rubix cube man, last year ray rice was the shit, this year he is good but not what he was last year...
flacco is a decent qb doesnt make a whole lot of mistakes but he isnt a guy to air the ball out alot either so...
I have rice and I figure I have to keep him but who knows exactly how big a role he will play next year?

I think Rice is a definite keep.... he got better as the season went on. I also have S. Jackson, who looks great at times, but very avg at times. Hoping Bradford being even better next year will help him. My other RB's are either hurt or suck....Ryan Grant, Marion Barber are the best of the rest for me.

hahah yea injuries played a real big role this year i think...you had to have alot of depth especially in the RB position
we probably get to keep 2 next year its not decided yet but yea i think im going to role with ray rice and mike wallace...unless joe webb is the starter next season and still has dual position eligibility in that case i will definitely keep him ;D

haha, Webb looked decent last night, I was shocked. thought the Eagles would destory them.
I think Rice will really bounce back. I drafted him when he was a rookie, but ended up cutting him at the end of the season because Bal seemed set on a split carry backfield. HATED that decision last year...... >:(
