RIPPA Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Well clearly they knew having Todd Gurley was a mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Yep, I learned an important life lesson last night. If you draft Todd Gurley in fantasy football, you'll end up watching Rams games. Even if you don't actually lose, you'll feel like you did. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I was suppose to get trounced in Week 1. Then, my opponent had to depend on Todd Gurley having a monster game as well as the Rams defense holding up. I am extremely satisfied to say the least.

Justin877 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Week 2 ~ WR2 Conundrums Last week the recommendations of the Lions players helped out nicely. Thanks for those who chimed in.. I have WR2 spot to fill, here are my choices (my gut feeling is in BOLD ): M. Floyd vs. TB M. Jones vs. TEN S. Shephard vs. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him. Shepard isn't a bad choice but he's either #2 or #3, definite feast or famine potential there, and I don't buy San Diego yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin877 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Yeah Marvin Jones. I just know the Saints secondary is porous , ripe for wideouts and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Flex question, PPR league (bold is who I have in now) RB Carlos Hyde (@CAR) TE Delanie Walker (@DET) WR John Brown (TB) WR Desean Jackson (DAL) WR Golden Tate (TEN) Kind of torn between Hyde and Tate. With the way the Broncos ran on Carolina last week, I'm tempted to throw in Hyde. My other option is to sit Jordan Matthews as my WR2, put Tate in there and then Hyde as my flex.

Infinit Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Pick 2: Gurley vs Sea Hyde vs Car Langford vs Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I'd sit Gurley, the Seahawks will let Keenum try and beat them. The Browns didn't run a lot against the Eagles last week, but both Crowell and Johnson were able to get yards when they did and Hyde is the Niners offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Gurley he can't be worst last year he had 2 great games vs Seattle plus you drafted him that high for a reason and yeah Hyde since he is the offense plus Anderson had a great game against Carolina.

Kevin Wilson Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 I have a theory in FFL that I virtually never sit my stars. If I drafted someone in the first few rounds, and they are healthy, then they are playing unless there is a 4+ week run that they do absolutely nothing. I think people in general over-react to Week 1 (glances at @JRGoldman), its too early to bench the people you depended on to win you the league. Like AD and Freeman both had bad weeks last week but I never considered benching either of them. Now if Week 5, Freeman and Coleman are still 50/50 then I may change my mind but not yet. Plus, you end up over-thinking which leads to regret The big FFL guys are the ones most likely to bust out a 25+ point game which I know in our league is needed to win, all of our teams are too good to keep one of the best players on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(full disclosure, I am currently stuck on the Gurley train in one league, so hopefully he proves my advice wrong this week) Yea but you knew his team before you drafted him Sure they looked like shit last week but everyone has bad weeks, if the Rams win uh 24-10 this week then you'll feel silly for giving up on him so soon. Just my opinion of course. I am just comparing it to my Peterson situation, they looked rough last week and so did he but it never crossed my mind to bench him.

Hail Sabin Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Of course after I said play Gurley Rippa has him going against me in the DVDVR money league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 Course I just used Freeman as an example, but ATL has a tough rushing match-up this week and I have Matthews (PHI WR), Mike Wallace, and VIctor Cruz all on my bench against subpar passing defenses that I could switch into the Flex instead. I hate life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincey Greene Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Luck vs Denver or Cousins vs Dallas? Sounds obvious but I hate Luck's matchup and I'm thinking Cousins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin877 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hamstring-A-Rama hit my Fantasy Team big time. J. Stewart was the first to go, then D. Martin. My RBs (which I had stocked up on are dwindling). Time to see if Melvin Gordon is for real. Wish I had started him this week in hindsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Number 1 on the waiver wire. Am I better off grabbing Fozzy Whitaker (who took over for Stewart) or Cameron Artis-Payne (who will likely be activated now)? Or do I pick up Matt Asiata and hope he gets a lot of goal line work (McKinnon is already owned)? Whoever I pick up might need to start next week, as I lost Woodhead as my RB2 and am down to Carlos Hyde and Justin Forsett behind David Johnson. I'd love to trade for an RB, but the only players I have that I can reasonably offer without severely weakening my team are DJax, Golden Tate and John Brown. None of whom have been very inspiring this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I needed 3 points from Ryan Mathews to win both of my matchups. Try as the shitty Eagles might, Mathews couldn't be denied. His 1st TD from last night was pretty baller. Bounces off the defender, nearly goes down, stays upright, and makes his way into the end zone. So his 2 TDs put me at 2-0 and 1-1. But again, fuck the Eagles. WTF were they thinking? Makes me want to see if a Gurley owner wants to go Gurley for Mathews straight up. Crazy waiver wire week. For RBs, do you go after McKinnon, Asiata, Crowell, Fozzy, CAP...? For TE, do you go after Pitta (good upcoming schedule), Tamme (SHITTY upcoming schedule), Walford...? I'm a Doug Martin owner in one league looking for stability, so I'm putting in a claim on McKinnon. In that same league, I'm a Fleener and Graham owner, so I'm putting in a claim for Pitta and dumping Fleener. My backup choice is Walford. If I don't get McKinnon, I'm good because Bell comes off suspension soon. In the PPR league, my RBs are garbage. Gio Bernard (great week 2, but going forward?), Mathews, Duke Johnson, and Richard (Oakland). Can't decide if I make a play for Asiata or Whittaker because those RBs are a liability going forward.

Justin877 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I am a J. Stewart and D. Martin Owner, I am hoping I can grab Whitaker. McKinnon and Sims have been picked up already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Wound up getting McKinnon and Pitta. Dropped Fleener and Graham. I can't wait for Fleener and Graham to both put up 20 points each this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
