OFFICIAL 2013 FANTASY FOOTBALL TALK

[parada45]

Cameron might have Jason Campbell or Hoyer throwing to him

That doesn't worry you guys?

 

[lb510]

Lamar Miller vs Atl or David Wilson vs Carolina?

Cameron vs Vikes or Finley vs Cincy?

Houston D vs Ravens or Carolina D vs Giants?

Miler
Cameron
Carolina

 

[reggiekiller]

Jason Campbell doesn't suck though.  I thought the Raiders were crazy for letting him go, he made them competitive last year before he got hurt

 

[sonoftony]

Cam (vs Giants)

or

Jay Cutler (vs Steelers)

 

[jayfiend]

I'm starting Miller over Ridley. I don't like how the pats use Ridley. It's looking like Ridley is not going to be affective at all this year.

 

[champcruthik]

got offered

Mcfadden
Calvin J
Finley

for

Peterson
Gronk


what you guys think? i dont like it because i love Gronk and expect him to perform big this season

Adrian Peterson was the consensus #1 player in all of fantasy football. He'll likely finish best at his position. Gronk has the same potential post-injury to finish over Jimmy at TE in the rankings. Jimmy is more valuable in PPR formats, but Gronk is a TD machine and Brady needs him badly.

McFadden is always an injury concern. Finley is inconsistent. Megatron is the only sure thing. I want the two studs, Peterson and Gronk, over one stud and two question marks.

My squad:

QB: Rodgers, Rivers
RB: Mendenhall, J. Bell, Richardson, Hillman, Turbin
WR: Steve Smith, D. Thomas, Givens, R. Randle
TE: Graham, Gronk
D: CLE

Auto-drafted. Rodgers was my homer/1st round pick. RB's are crap, I know. Which of the 2 TE should I try and trade and what should I be looking for? I'm 1-1 after tonight.

PPR or standard? You have to move Gronk or Jimmy for a true RB1.

Jimmy is a sure thing every week and more coveted. Gronk is returning from injury.

I would offer Jimmy for an elite RB1. Shady, Dougie, Beast Mode, Spiller, Trent.

Move Rivers ASAP while his stock is soaring. He has no value sitting behind Rodgers. You'll never start Rivers over Rodgers.

I have Nuk, Tavon, James Jones, Gio and Edelman as my WR2/Flex plays. Think I should sell high on any of them with David Wilson or Greg Olsen to get a better RB2 or TE?

Hold onto Gio, man. He's a stud. Law Firm's days are numbered.

I'd keep Nuk (and Tavon to a lesser extent) if it's a keeper league.

I would move Edelman first. His value is highest now especially in PPR formats. Gronk is returning soon. Thompkins and Dobson will get more comfortable meaning more targets and receptions potentially.

James Jones is the second player I'd move. He seems to be conceding receptions to Cobb and TD's to Jordy.

Someone tell me I'm going to be okay...I'm 0-2 lol got Roddy White, MJD, Owen Daniels anr Hartline on the bench. I want to put Roddy in my Flex but I cant tell I know he's healthy and good to go.

Also purposed a trade...MJD for Mendenhall. =\

View media item 581250

You'll be fine once Roddy fully recovers from the high ankle sprain.

I would have kept MJD because he's not trading well in terms of value related to ADP. Mendy's not terrible return, I suppose.

Don't start Roddy this week until he gets full, normal reps. Otherwise he's just a decoy for Julio and Gonzo.

No AJ and no Dez. Still trying to see whats up with Megatron and Demaryius. Should I try to flip for Forte and T.Smith?

You likely won't get Megatron, that was more of a pipe dream suggestion preying on a weak owner. Demaryius is a possibility.

Nah I don't have return yards it's a standard league.

Brady
McCoy
Wilson
Bernard
Demaryius
Tavon
Olsen
Texans D
Gostkowski

Palmer
Nuk
James Jones
Edelman
Bryce Brown
Reuben Randle
Winslow

What trades would you maybe look for if you had my team, or would you keep it as is?

Minor tweak would be acquiring a stud at WR2. Target someone like Roddy while he's "injured" and cheap. Or James Jones, Edelman for Cruz.

Should I bench Vick this week?

The only factor that I consider to be a problem for them this week is lack of time. The Eagles got a short week for the second consecutive week in a row (MNF -> Sunday -> TNF)

Kansas City's defense is legit. I'd consider benching MV7. What is your other option?

If the Browns go with Cambell or Hoyer would you start

Vikes D vs Browns over

Texans at Baltimore?

Minnesota defense easily. Cleveland's only hope is Trent, Cameron, and Gordon. The QB position a huge question mark. Frazier is a defensive minded HC.

Anyone picking up Eddie Royal after the last two weeks? Think I may in one league where I'm kinda shaky at WR after Julio Jones

Everyone will be putting in a waiver request for Royal, Moreno, and Starks.

Add him. Who can you drop for Royal?

I have Luck starting.

Flacco vs Houston

With Bradford / alex Smith sitting on the waivers.

Should I make a move or sit tight?

Also put in a claim for Starks

I see Eifert sitting there as well

Dropped the Panthers defense for the Broncos defense and I have bucs defense on my bench.

Eifert has tremendous long-term value later in the season. He's better than Gresham.

Denver's defense is an extremely safe play against Oakland on MNF. Containing Pryor is the only threat.

I would start Luck, but I worry about the decreased pass pro from Ballard. I see SF blowing out Indy with emotion after getting romped by Seattle. But that's a good thing potentially for fantasy. If Colts are down two tubs, Luck will be airing it out to catch up. He has the weapons in Allen, Fleener, Wayne, Hilton. Bradshaw is a decent running option, but Indy will air it out.

I'm being offered Carson Palmer, Daryl Richardson and a throw in player for Josh Freeman, Ridley and Roy Helu. I cant ride out with Freeman as my QB any more. Its not the move. I'm tempted to take this even though I dont want to lose Ridely like that.

I agree that Freeman is a liability and has to be moved. Palmer is a decent buy low option.

However, I don't like including Ridley. He's a legitimate RB2 despite the two poor performances to open the season. Richardson isn't quite enough return. I'd either ask for a better back than Richardson or substitute Ridley for another back from your squad.

Would you guys take this deal? Guy in my league offered me MJD for Stevie Johnson and Joique Bell. My other RB's are T. Rich, Alfred Morris, and Le'Veon Bell. And my other WR's are V-Jax, Antonio Brown, Josh Gordon, Michael Floyd and Eddie Royal.

PPR format? I'm asking because that impacts Bell's value.

I'd ask for a Filler WR just to acquire maximum value from the deal.

You're doing well to acquire MJD at a buy low price point. Bell is surplus for you (Detroit) once the Pittsburgh Bell returns, which could be Sunday Night against Chicago.

Stevie is Buffalo's best WR option, but you expect growing pains with a rookie Q.

Good overall offer. I'd accept.

You guys like Edelman over Steve Smith in my Flex?

I have Bowe and Megatron WRs 1&2

Smitty all the way. I wouldn't even consider Edelman in the Flex unless it's PPR this week. Tampa's defense played their heart out against New Orleans, and they have better playmakers than New England. Someone is drawing Revis and it's likely Edelman with Amendola out.

NYG's defense has proven vulnerable against Dallas and Denver.

My QBs are Russell Wilson, Roethlisberger and Pryor.

I dont need 3 QBs and outside of WIlson, none of those dudes have any trade value.  I'm thinking about dropping Pryor or Roethlisberger for Ryan Tannehill, since he is the top QB on my waiver wire

Tanny was my sleeper QB (third QB) in my two start QB league. Miami is on the cusp of something special. Tanny linked up well with Wallace in W2.

I'm 90% ready to drop Ben for Tanny. Haley and Ben have a disconnect. The offensive line is miserable. The running attack won't be improved until Bell is back and healthy.

Ok dilemma for this week.

My WR
Roddy white at Miami
Mike Wallace vs ATL
Stevie Johnson at Jets
Dwayne Bowe at Philly

I need two starters, help guys...
I also have Jamaal Charles idk if that is worth noting

Sit Roddy until he's fully healthy and getting normal, full reps.

Wallace should play. He connected well with Tanny in W2. Philbin heard Wallace's request for the football loud and clear. I'd also start Bowe over Stevie. He can beat Cary Williams and Boykin. Philly was carved by lesser receivers from San Diego.

(PPR LEAGUE) So with that my Russell Wilson trade for Brady i offered some guy,

He countered with my Vick and CJ for Brady, Ridley and BGE. I would pull the trigger if I could offer him one of my lesser RBs (also have Sjax RB2, Lacy, and Woodhead)

Or if I could get a better RB (he has Marshawn, Ridley, BGE, and Shonn Green). But I doubt he'll want to trade Marshawn.

Law Firm is worthless to trade for. Gio is here and he's not going away.

I'd offer to give away Vick, S-Jax, Lacy for Brady, Beast Mode.

I'm watching Pryor closely, but only because I want a rushing QB. I feel like that's the best way to get additional points if you don't have Brees, Manning or Rodgers.

How y'all feel about Miles Austin? Last week was disappointing and I'm considering starting someone else in my flex instead of him. Thinking about Andre Roberts, Joique Bell or Moreno if I land him on waivers. Jordy and Megatron are my WR 1 and 2.

Miles let me down so bad in W2. I know Kansas City has a good defense, but I thought the attention on Dezzy and Witten would benefit Miles. I'd start Moreno over Miles if you land him. He's real. Did this last year to close the season. Ball fumbled in the RZ. Hillman got one carry. Oakland is a sheep. If Denver runs up the score, they'll pound the rock to close the game with Moreno.

Lamar Miller vs Atl or David Wilson vs Carolina?

Cameron vs Vikes or Finley vs Cincy?

Houston D vs Ravens or Carolina D vs Giants?

Miller. Carolina's front seven is stout. Miller got a tub in W2 and Miami trusted him to close out the game with carries. Wilson's pass pro is slightly improving, but the fumbling issue is still alarming.

Cameron is a must start every week. He's Cleveland's best receiving option. Big, live target. Chud and Norv utilize the TE everywhere they go.

I would say Carolina's defense has the slight edge, but their secondary can be exposed by Eli, Cruz, Nicks.

 

[champcruthik]

Cameron might have Jason Campbell or Hoyer throwing to him

That doesn't worry you guys?

Josh Gordon's return from suspension could help negate that possibility. For backup QB's, safest security blanket is the TE and Cameron is a great one.

Cam (vs Giants)

or

Jay Cutler (vs Steelers)

Cam. Rushing ability is a huge weapon.

Pittsburgh's defense is still led by **** LeBeau. Woodley and Jones could get pressure on Cutler. Cutler turns into a nightmare with turnovers, confidence, and decision-making when heavily pressured. Ike did a splendid job on AJ in coverage. He'll draw Marshall, who is more physical but Ike is a veteran with experience. Ike is afraid of no one and backs down to no receiver.

G-Men aren't getting their typical pass rush. Their secondary can be exposed. Prince recovering from the concussion. Stevie's injury has been a huge loss since preseason. Smitty and Olsen could eat.

for

Peterson
Gronk


what you guys think? i dont like it because i love Gronk and expect him to perform big this season

 

[23legacy45]

Who's your back up?

Chiefs defense is solid but the Iggles got this shiny new offense.

I have Stafford vs the skins. Do you think they'll continue to be the leagues punching bag in week 3?

 

[nike4kja05]

I'm just going to play match ups for my Defense now. The steelers are terrible without Larry Foote. For this week it's either

Vikings vs Browns
or
Bills @ Jets

What do you guys think? I'm 11th on the waiver for tomorrow. These are the two best match ups still available on my waiver. All the elite defenses are rostered.

 

[bxbadboy90]

Looking to add Eddie Royal and need to decide which receiver I should drop.. So far my choices are

-Josh Gordon
-Cecil Shorts
-Ty Hilton

 

[br0keballer]

Thanks fellas, btw it's not a flex position just two WR spot

 

[nike4kja05]

Looking to add Eddie Royal and need to decide which receiver I should drop.. So far my choices are

-Josh Gordon
-Cecil Shorts
-Ty Hilton

Maybe Cecil shorts. The jags just suck *** Don't drop TY and josh hasn't seen the field yet. Who else is on your roster?

 

[champcruthik]

Nike: Minnesota. Especially if Weeden can't go with the sprained thumb.

BX: None. Gordon is a sleeper post-suspension. Hilton showed W2 a flash of what he's capable of. Maybe Shorts because of the QB situation, but he's still better than Royal for me.

[antidope]

I eneded up trading Antonio Brown and Brandon Weeden for Sam Bradford and Michael Floyd. I'll take it.

 

[concordflightxi]

Welp. Looks like S-Jax is out 2-4 weeks.

Looks like I'm scrambling as Lacy is out 2 weeks. Only got Spiller and Danny Woodhead (PPR) as my RBs.

 

[run.lmc]

Just got another offer; David Wilson for Joique Bell. I wanna hop on it but Wilson is iffy

 

[bxbadboy90]

My other recievers are D.Thomas, Fitz, and D. Jackson..I might just leave my roster how it is instead of being greedy

 

[licensed to ball]

I lost Lacy too.
I got Lamar miller as my RB1 next week.

RB2 will be between Moreno vs. OAK or Gio Bernard vs. GB...

PPR league. What would you guys pick?

I'm not gonna get Starks off waivers, have #9 priority so no chance. Gotta roll with Gio or Moreno next week.

I'm leaning towards Moreno since its against Oakland and he looks solidified as a starter. Gio is my dude long term wise, but even as good as he as last night law firm still saw 3x the snaps. Worries me for immediate starting.

What would you guys do?

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

Trent Richardson is so trash, why did I draft him?

 

[stick]

In my 2QB, 1pt/20 pass yds, 6pt pass TD, -3 interception league, would you guys drop Andy Dalton for either Philip Rivers or Sam Bradford? You're only allowed to roster 2QBs so it's sort of a risk dropping one of them. I feel like Rivers has the easier schedule but Bradford will be behind alot thus having to sling in the 2nd half. Dalton has been pretty disappointing these first 2 weeks. Any thoughts?

 

[run.lmc]

Trent Richardson is so trash, why did I draft him?

Trent will come around, just needs more touches

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Champ, you should look into writing about fantasy football for B/R. They could use someone that knows their stuff like you

We trading whole teams now?

Getting Olsen with Gronk is pointless. Gio fills your pressing need at RB2, but I'd ask for a better WR than Bowe or another WR3/Flex option to be included with Bowe.

Just got another offer; David Wilson for Joique Bell. I wanna hop on it but Wilson is iffy

I'd take it and run. Bell has value, more so in PPR. And he gets goal line carries. However, Coughlin has no choice but to be patient with Wilson. He's young and explosive. Pass protection looks slightly better. The fumbling must be improved technically and mentally (psychologically). I love it in a keeper format. Wilson could still finish the season a legitimate RB2. Jacobs won't get the job done. Wilson has R3/R4 value.

I lost Lacy too.
I got Lamar miller as my RB1 next week.

RB2 will be between Moreno vs. OAK or Gio Bernard vs. GB...

What would you guys do?

Moreno must start for the reason you stated. I'd take a risk and start Gio alongside him. Miller was a no-show W1, tub W2. Who knows what we'll get against Atlanta. You have nice options.

In my 2QB, 1pt/20 pass yds, 6pt pass TD, -3 interception league, would you guys drop Andy Dalton for either Philip Rivers or Sam Bradford? You're only allowed to roster 2QBs so it's sort of a risk dropping one of them. I feel like Rivers has the easier schedule but Bradford will be behind alot thus having to sling in the 2nd half. Dalton has been pretty disappointing these first 2 weeks. Any thoughts?

I would for Rivers before Bradford. The only detriment is Rivers has a penchant for turnovers, behind that weak offensive line and lack of outside weapons. Royal, Brown, Gates isn't enough for any contender. Rivers is legit though, proven QB revitalized under McCoy.

You could give Dalton another week. If he doesn't produce against GB, he never will.
