Kyle Casey Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Which defense should I start: KC (vs. Tennessee) or Denver (vs. Dallas)? Chiefs easily. That's what I figured, I just wanted to make sure.
BrianS81177 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 I've been offered CJ Spiller and Darren Sproles for Wes Welker. Leaning towards refusing. At WR I also have Megatron, Steve Smith, Justin Blackmon, Eddie Royal and Tavon Austin. At RB I currently have Alfred Morris, Ray Rice, Daniel Thomas and Rashard Mendenhall. Should I take it?
elizium Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I would lean towards taking it. Rice hasn't been himself this year, Thomas and Mendenhall suck. However, I am terrible at fantasy football, so maybe don't take my advice.
elizium Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Alright do I keep hoping Kaepernick (HOU) comes out of his funk or do I give Dalton (NE) a shot?
BrianS81177 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 Yeesh those are 2 awful choices. Houston stifled Russell Wilson pretty good (and hes pretty comparable to Squidwa... I mean Kapernick), so I would say Dalton
elizium Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Well, I suppose I have the option of picking up Alex Smith (@TEN), Tannehill (BAL), Flacco (@MIA) or idk Palmer (CAR)?
BrianS81177 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 I don't think any of those guys are any better than who you have now. Smith's not much of a fantasy QB, Tannehill is stil pretty unproven IMO and Palmer is your best bet for yards and TDs but will also throw a good amount of INTs. If INTs aren't penalized too heavily in your league I would consider Palmer, otherwise MAYBE drop Dalton for Flacco.
JRGoldman Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Got a couple head scratchers: Tavon Austin, DeAndre Hopkins or Dwayne Bowe at WR2 and Jared Cook or Vernon Davis at TE.
RIPPA Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Yeah if you haven't seen it yet - get MEGATRON~! out of your lineups right now
Kyle Casey Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Okay, so with Michael Vick out for at least the next couple weeks, I'm left with Andy Dalton at QB, which I'm pretty sure isn't going to cut it. Luckily, there are a number of solid choices available to me: Nick Foles Alex Smith Terrelle Pryor Matt Cassel/Josh Freeman (Whoever gets to start while Ponder is out) Sam Bradford So, who should I go with? Or do y'all think Dalton can get the job done in the next couple weeks? Thanks!
pipGofern Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I would pick up Pryor and stash him on your bench. He has a sorta iffy match-up against KC this week (although those rivalry games are always anybody's guess) and then a bye so you're probably better off with Dalton the next couple weeks but after that he faces three of the shittiest defenses in the NFL in consecutive games: Steelers, Eagles, and Giants. At worst you can always flip one of your QBs for help elsewhere when Vick returns. Of course, I picked up Pryor intending to stash him but wound up starting him this week because my current QB is Matt Schaub. I clearly suck at fantasy football.
Sammy Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Of course, I picked up Pryor intending to stash him but wound up starting him this week because my current QB is Matt Schaub. I clearly suck at fantasy football. You don't suck-- you'd suck if you started Schaub.
Jrag Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I just set a points record in my main money league and I'm going to lose! It's insane. I put up a whopping 204 points thanks to Peyton, Desean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery, James Jones, Fred jackson etc etc. The next highest person in our league scored around 160 this week, except for the guy I'm playing, who only needs 20 points out of Powell and Julio to win tonight. What the fuck! FUCK YOU TONY ROMO!
BrianS81177 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Posted October 9, 2013 Okay, so with Michael Vick out for at least the next couple weeks, I'm left with Andy Dalton at QB, which I'm pretty sure isn't going to cut it. Luckily, there are a number of solid choices available to me: Nick Foles Alex Smith Terrelle Pryor Matt Cassel/Josh Freeman (Whoever gets to start while Ponder is out) Sam Bradford So, who should I go with? Or do y'all think Dalton can get the job done in the next couple weeks? Thanks! I agree with pip. Go with Pryor if you can get him.
BrianS81177 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Posted October 9, 2013 Who should I go with this week? I have 2 flex spots to fill. 1 RB/WR and 1 QB/RB/WR/TE My choices: Philip Rivers vs Colts Alfred Morris vs Cowboys Tavon Austin vs Texans Justin Blackmon vs Broncos Eddie Royal vs Colts Steve Smith vs Vikings Jermichael Finlay vs Ravens Currently I have Rivers/Morris in those 2 slots. I don't really trust Smith given how shitty Cam Newton's been playing. I'm tempted to slot Blackmon into one of them but I just don't trust the Jags offense. I have Gates starting at TE so I'd like to keep Rivers in there too. I guess it boils down to Morris vs Blackmon. Here's how my lineup looks so far: QB Stafford vs Browns RB Rice vs Packers WR Megatron vs Browns WR Welker vs Jags TE Gates vs Colts RB/WR Morris QB/RB/WR/TE Rivers also should I drop the Bucs D/ST for the Colts? I also have the Rams.
RIPPA Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 You will need to pay attention to the injury reports because Morris is dealing with his rib injury so there has still been no confirmation he is even playing Sunday
BrianS81177 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Posted October 9, 2013 Morris practiced fully on monday (dunno about yesterday yet) so he seems good to go.
Sammy Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Who should I go with this week? I have 2 flex spots to fill. 1 RB/WR and 1 QB/RB/WR/TE My choices: Philip Rivers vs Colts Alfred Morris vs Cowboys Tavon Austin vs Texans Justin Blackmon vs Broncos Eddie Royal vs Colts Steve Smith vs Vikings Jermichael Finlay vs Ravens I'd go Blackmon here. You're going to have at least 3.5 quarters of garbage time points against a shaky Denver D. This may be one of the better matchups of the year for him.
elizium Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Alright, advice time gents. Thanks in advance. Team 1: Hakeem Nicks (@CHI) or Denarius Moore (@KC) I don't really like either matchup. Team 2: The HORROR that is my qb situation. Schaub ACK (STL) or Flacco OOOOH (GB) or Geno Mrr? (PIT) Leaning towards Flacco just because the Packers always give up a lot of yards, but giving the kid a shot is tempting. Team 3: Reuben Randle (@CHI) or Austin Pettis (@HOU) Stupid Julio Jones and his stupid foot.
BrianS81177 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Posted October 10, 2013 1) Nicks. Eli will throw 3 picks in the game but should still be able to toss for 300+ yards. I think this week is going to be a "back down to earth" whupping for the Raiders. 2) Given that Flacco seems to have remembered who Ray Rice is, I would suggest him. Schaub shouldn't start anywhere and the Geno matchup is a tempting one but I think the Ravens are coming back to life. 3) Pettis. Neither one is really appealing though. Anyone on waivers you can get?
elizium Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 They were the waiver gets, its the flex spot I'm trying to fill, I have other guys in the two WR slots. Other options would be Corderelle Patterson, Chris Givens, Eddie Royal and Emmanuel Sanders, none of whom seem like any better choices.
BrianS81177 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Posted October 10, 2013 Is Keenan Allen (Chargers rookie WR) available? If he is, grab him, his role has been increasing lately.
Hail Sabin Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Alright, advice time gents. Thanks in advance. Team 1: Hakeem Nicks (@CHI) or Denarius Moore (@KC) I don't really like either matchup. Team 2: The HORROR that is my qb situation. Schaub ACK (STL) or Flacco OOOOH (GB) or Geno Mrr? (PIT) Leaning towards Flacco just because the Packers always give up a lot of yards, but giving the kid a shot is tempting. Team 3: Reuben Randle (@CHI) or Austin Pettis (@HOU) Stupid Julio Jones and his stupid foot. Nicks best of two bad options is Terrance Williams on the waiver wire?, Flacco my Packers will give up lots of yards, and Probably Pettis.
Jrag Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 For what it's worth, there is a decent chance Tillman doesn't play against the Giants tonight. If that is the case I would definitely go with Nicks.
paragon11 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 For Team 3, with who you gave as current options, I'd choose Pettis. He's been the preferred choice of Bradford as of late. But Brian's suggestion of Keenan Allen is a good one. If Vincent Brown is available, he might be worth a look as well. Terry
