OFFICIAL 2014 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD

[Vincent Van Goat]

Alright I put a claim in on Josh Gordon. He better prove you guys right and Kendall Wright better not ******* go off this season

 

[jayfiend]

Ahhh alrite then NO.

Julio > Colston and Foster

He just accepted it.

Oh well, you win some you lose some.

 

[Bert.]

Alright I put a claim in on Josh Gordon. He better prove you guys right and Kendall Wright better not ******* go off this season

Bruh, Gordon is WR1

if he returns you will cry tears of joy especially if he performs anything like last season which he should..

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I'm pleased he participated fully in training camp and pre-season games. This quells my worries about him being out of rhythm..

We'll see if anyone else claims him first though

 

[IATT]

So ummm how serious is jordan reeds injury?

 

[buc em]

After this past week's game it seemed like even Patriots fans were souring on Brady. Hoping it was just one rough game against a defense he had trouble against last year. Definitely not gonna be happy if he has another year like last year.

It's a sad day when you're considering starting Jake Locker over Tom Brady.....

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I grabbed Brady in both of my leagues. I need dude to step it up. He's the reason I wear Uggs.

All of this minus the Uggs.

 

[champcruthik]

Thinking about making a trade that would involve Cutler for RGIII as my QB2. This league has an OP slot where of course a QB is played. Brees is my QB1.

RG3 is slotted significantly higher for ADP and positional fantasy rankings.

Mulling an offer of Demariyus+Lacy for my Jamaal Charles+Cruz. PPR league btw. Am I crazy?

I tend to believe the DT and Lacy side is winning. It's almost impossible for Charles to match the high production from 2013. Charles' value in PPR over Lacy doesn't compensate for the drop-off between DT and Cruz IMO.

View media item 1175079

really need a rb. how would y'all go about it? should i piece together a lot for a top tier rb or go for a solid rb 2. in a ppr league btw.

Murray is an adequate RB1 barring injury. I'd upgrade the RB2 by floating S-Jax and Smitty. Hope someone bites on Smith's hot Week 1 start.

I pulled some **** off today...

Tues I picked up Forsett and dropped my Defense

Today I package Forsett and RGIII to get Russell Wilson like 2 hours ago...

Then I packaged Russell and Dez for Drew Brees and Boldin.

View media item 1175097

I'm one of the few that actually prefers RG3 to Russy. Wilson definitely has more consistency.

Acquiring Brees is for the 6-point passing TD league?

Dropped Romo for Carson Palmer hope this doesnt bite back....Romo looks clueless out there

Mistake, my friend. Week 1 overreaction. Romo is going to throw 30+ TD this season.

Am I crazy for thinking about dropping Romo? I currently have Foles as my starter, and if I need a backup QB I would look at Locker who is available on the waiver wire. I would drop Romo for either Sproles, Justin Hunter, Terrance West, D. Hopkins, or Wheaton? PPR league, .5 per rush, 10 team league.

I believe West, Wheaton, and Hunter should be owned in that order for PPR. But I wouldn't drop Romo in case Foles falters to a sophomoric slump.

should i drop any of my bench for a TE, the only one i have now is Pitta, if so which TE

Heres my bench.
Crabtree
Romo
Freeman
Carolina D
Ingram 
J. Gordon

No, Pitta is a solid starter. Add/drop as needed for Baltimore's bye week.

Offered Cruz and Forsett for Keenan Allen and Lamar Miller. Pointless trade?

No, you win that deal. Selling Forsett high while the Rice news just broke. Hope he accepts.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I flipped Forsett for Lamar, Champ. Although dudes a diehard Giant fan he wanted nothing to do with their offensive players thoughts on this trade?

 

[run.lmc]

Who would you rather have for the ROS, RG3 or Jay Cutler? Have both as my QB's.

 

[champcruthik]

I flipped Forsett for Lamar, Champ. Although dudes a diehard Giant fan he wanted nothing to do with their offensive players thoughts on this trade?

You won, I'm confident of it. Forsett's frame suggests change-of-pace not lead back. Pierce's job to lose.

Who would you rather have for the ROS, RG3 or Jay Cutler? Have both as my QB's.

Cutler has Trestman plus Marshall and Jeffery, but RG3 has running ability to pair with Gruden, Garçon, D-Jax, Reed. I acknowledge the injury risk and potential inconsistency. I'm a gambling man.

 

[champcruthik]

Debating on Benjamin or Desean

D-Jax should beat J-Ville's corners downfield.

i see keenan allen as a very good BUY LOW candidate. he's gonna be going up against seattle and might put up another dud, but being put up against patrick patterson and seattle secondary is bound to produce a low amount of points.

is bobby rainey a must pick up?

Not necessarily. I scooped him but realize Tedford is RBBC, and could very well use James instead or more.

Benny Cunningham worth a spot in a 16 team league? Would be dropping Mike Williams for him.

Absolutely, do it. He was on the field like 47% of STL's snaps, while Stacy was near 42% I believe.

Dalton or Foles?

Foles, seeing a shootout. Neither DEF is particularly strong.

i give golden tate for pierre thomas. 1PPR league.

my other RB's are jamaal charles, MJD, bishop sankey, bobby rainey :x

i desperately need a RB2.

Do it. Thomas is a fringe RB2, but Sankey isn't ready for you and Rainey is a moderate handcuff.

What's the consensus on Aaron Dobson??
Is it even worth it to pick him up off waivers? Will he even play this week?

Deep flier for middle of the season. Battling the foot recovery. Good deep threat for Brady long-term.

Thinking of sitting ryan matthews this week against seattle
My only options are pierre thomas, darren sproiles, bernard pierce, mark ingram, and ahmad bradshaw
Should i use torrey smith and vincent jax at my flex for ppr?

Thomas starts over Ry for PPR. In standard, I'd give Ingram a go against CLE, hoping for a TD.

Torrey by slight margin. I think Flacco gets him and Pitta the football early and often against Pittsburgh. I don't trust McCown against STL.

 

[champcruthik]

Standard league.
Vereen for Josh Gordon + FJax?.

Which side wins.

Freddy and Gordon comfortably.

Benching Keenan Allen against the Hawks this week so now I need to figure out my flex spot. I moved Reggie Wayne to my WR 2 with Julio at my WR1

I got

Mike Wallace @ BUF
Ertz @ IND
Steven Jackson @ CIN

Leaning towards Mike Wallace but he was limited in practiced today.

Ertz, Wallace, S-Jax.

My team this week if Gordon is reinstated...

QB- Romo
RB- J. Charles, K. Moreno, A. Ellington, J. Bell, B. Cunningham
WR- B. Marshall, C. Patterson, J. Gordon, K. Benjamin
TE- Z. Ertz, D. Allen, T. Wright
K- B. Walsh
D- Dolphins


Wondering who I should package to find a dependable, every week QB though...

Romo will be fine. 30+ TD.

View media item 1175450They said they would take it should I propose it

Absolutely not. That's a QB1, RB1, top-notch WR2 you're trading away.

Is it 6-point passing TD league?

Would you guys trade mjd and pierce for Reggie bush?

.5 ppr

I'd get bush.. My other backs are: spiller, rashad and Hyde (we start 2)..Then I'd pick up sankey, who someone dropped

In a heartbeat. Major win.

I have a WR spot and Flex spot open, Standard league.

Sproles at Ind
Crabtree vs Chi
T.Y. Hilton vs Phi

Which 2? Leaning towards T.Y. and Sproles but IDK yet

Hilton and Crabby. Sproles value lies in PPR.

Would you guys trade your Brandin Cooks for Josh Gordon?

No, unless it's a keeper. Cooks full-season > Gordon limited action.

Hopefully Josh Gordon gets reinstated.. Have him riding the bench for now. In the meantime I need some help on who I should start this week coming up.

Pick 2:

Fred Jackson vs Mia
Brandin Cooks vs Cle
Andre Ellington vs NYG

Ellington is a must-start. After that, Freddy because Cleveland's secondary is stingy.

started Steve Smith vs. Steelers over Justin Hunter vs. Cowboys... good move? 
judging by last game, maybe Flacco and Smith developed chemistry

I'd start Hunter. I think Week 1 was Smitty's highest point. Feeling Hunter's first TD.

Vereen or Le'Veon for Flex this week?

Two starting RBs are Charles and Gio

Bell by far. Must-start weekly.

 

[champcruthik]

See, I tend to agree but I can't start Cooks over Jeffery, Cobb, and Maclin...right?

Not W2 against Cleveland.

Damn! I can't decide if I should put a waiver claim on Gordon. My league only allows 5 WR's, I would have to part with Golden Tate or Kendall Wright. As unbiased as possible, would you guys do it? I have D. Thomas, Julio Jones and V. Jackson with Lacy, Vereen, J. Bell...

I'm leaning no...

I would only drop Wright if it's standard.

Somebody in my league dropped Crabtree. Should I swoop him up? I can drop Riley Cooper or Terrance Williams for him. Leaning towards Cooper.

My WR core would be Jordy, Garcon, Colston, Crabtree and T Will

Drop Coop for Crabby.

Need help guys...what defense should I pick up this week?

View media item 1175657

Miami, Washington, Detroit.

Need some quick help...

He gives

Julio jones

He gets

Arian Foster
Marquise Colston

Foster and Colston wins. RB1 and WR2 for WR1.

Cecil Shorts is on Waivers

should i put a claim on him? I'm in no desperate need of a WR, but its only for depth

Who are you dropping?

 

[denni5themenace]

good guy champ coming in and answering everyone's questions

repped

 

[champcruthik]

good guy champ coming in and answering everyone's questions

repped

Thanks, man. Happy to. Makes my commute go by faster.

 

[a one]

Repped Champ.

Sent an offer for my Cooks and Ahmad Bradshaw for his Josh Gordon and Bernard Pierce. I have Antonio Brown, D Jax, and Kelvin Benjamin on my squad already. What you think?

 

[dnero1]

Cutler or Cam this weekend?

Considering Cutler as my opponents WRs are Jeffrey and Marshall.. Only makes sense right!?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Seems like you should go with Cutler.. although I'm interested to hear the opinions on that situation since you're facing Marshall and Jeffrey

Alright, I ended up claiming Josh Gordon and dropped Kendall Wright, standard league. Good way to start the morning after not being able to sleep.

Also got Matt Bryant as opposed to Mike Nugent. Which kicker you guys like better? I tend to rotate kickers and D/ST week to week... but I wouldn't mind keeping Bryant or Nugent long term considering the depth of the kickers in free agency in my league (not a lot of kickers left for some reason)

 

[lb510]

Cutler or Cam this weekend?

Considering Cutler as my opponents WRs are Jeffrey and Marshall.. Only makes sense right!?

Cutler. Plain and simple he just has way too many weapons. Jeffrey, Marshall, Bennet and not to mention Forte coming out of the backfield. Not to mention the 49ers secondary is thin at the moment and the front at times last week struggled to rush the QB.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

I'm one of the few that actually prefers RG3 to Russy. Wilson definitely has more consistency.

Acquiring Brees is for the 6-point passing TD league?

Yea both of those trades were in the same league... I was going to have to drop someone to pick up a defense today anyways.

Owner with Brees wasn't feeling the RGIII and Dez for Brees offer so I found him a QB he'd like more by shipping RGIII and Forsett to someone looking for RB and got Russy.  Promptly sent over the Russy x Dez combo and got Brees back.

And yea its 6 pts per pass TD. 

 

[carver]

If I owned Brees and was offered Dez and Rustle.. I'd make that trade instantly and never look back, don't eem care if it's 6pt td league or not.

 

[sickickz23]

Fitzgerald vs Giants or Boldin vs Bears

Who's your other WR's bro? Parted with Dez with the quickness lol... Wouldn't mind having Russell as my QB
