Thanks Champ, took your advice.  Good luck to everyone Week 1

Floyd. 

Moore hasn't even practiced yet

As a Raider fan, I know Moore would've been ready for the Lions game if it was a real game according to Coach Allen. He's been running/cutting well without pads so far and is slated to start Week 1. Since it's a hammy injury, everything's been for precaution purposes, but he should be out there. If anything changes, I'll comeback with the update.

And Ford most likely will be out Week 1. Foot injury suffered in preseason hasn't allowed him to practice.

Gerhart is going to be the feature back vs Jax for all you Peterson owners.


MJD will be a third down back vs MINN.

Well reported.

Just be careful if you have a better option. Jacksonville's run defense is very underrated. Most don't know they hold up against running attacks well.

who should i play week 1? Jon Stewart or Kevin Smith?

Kevin Smith, easily for me. Big projections until Leshoure and Best come back.

Stewart not 100% necessarily, splitting with Tolbert and DeAngelo.

Please Lord, let me get Robert Meachum or Cedric Benson off waivers!

Wow, Meach was on waivers? Definitely Priority 1. Ced Priority 2.

Meach will be a solid WR3, possible Flex once he develops chemistry with Rivers down-the-field. Compliment to Gates.

 

[TipsyMcStagga]

Manningham or Mike Williams for flex week one?

Manningham or Mike Williams for flex week one?

Mike Williams. Hopefully takes targets and receptions from V-Jax. Manningham is merely a fringe fantasy for me, until proven otherwise.

i got him on my bench

will he be valuable soon? im sure someone will want him

Value is affected by Shanny's history and preference for switching RBs. Royster could start and cook for four weeks, then Shanny will switch to Helu because he knows "something we don't." Then we might see Hightower. Or Morris. Who knows with this guy.

At least Hightower isn't on the ******** anymore 

In the league where I have Royster, as soon as he puts together 2 hot weeks I'm trading him for anything I can get

Good point, just realized he was cut three days ago.

So basically Royster, Helu, and Morris. Still a potentially "crowded" backfield.

Smart to flip Royster high and hot if he has a strong opening two weeks.

Got a trade offer....

I'll get Cutler and Donald Brown.

I'll give up Trent and Fitzpatrick.

My QB is Locker
My RBs are Rice, Sproles, Ridley, Quizz, P. Thomas

PPR league, 4pts pass TD


Thanks

I would tentatively accept that offer based purely on your need for an elite QB. Could counter by adding a low-level filler with bench value. Someone like Randall Cobb, for example. I'd obviously much rather part with Ridley or Pierre Thomas to get Cutler.

Really depends on how much faith you have in Locker and Fitzpatrick. If you feel Cutler isn't a significant upgrade worth the price of Trent, then stay put. What's your gut tell you?

 

[whytewunder]

R.Mathews prob gna be limited this week if he does see the field ... Now I gotta roll the dice on J.Dwyer as my #2.  

Either that or I really reach and use Curtis Brinkley (Who I think is more valuable then R.Brown).

Ughhhhh

Matthews isn't cleared for contract, despite being in practice. I wouldn't expect him to go Monday night.

Redman is likely the official Pittsburgh starter but Dwyer will get reps and touches. Brinkley may score more fantasy points than Ronnie Brown, but I'd start Dwyer over Brinkley in Week 1.

 

[Deleted member 38182]

I'm sitting Mathews for sure

 

[caleekicks]

Anybody have room for one more on a yahoo league?

 

[diewitsjames]

am i crazy for starting kendall wright this week over pierre garcon? kenny britt is suspended

Thanks man

 

[timelessflight]

I'd go with Garcon. Washington will be busy playing catch-up with the Saints forcing RG3 to throw

EDIT: all set
