OFFICIAL 2015 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD

[HEATHEN]

Stash CMike now.


Michael Irvin was asked about Christine Michael during an appearance on 105.3-FM’s G-Bag Nation this week.:

"I don't know enough about him but Marshall (Faulk) told me, he said, 'Hey man, just listen. I'm going to say it, it's my job. I'll tell the truth. He'll be starting in a couple weeks. That boy is bad,’” Irvin said, per the Dallas Morning News. “He said, 'Michael, that boy is bad. I'm telling you right now.' He said, 'Man, he was hiding up there.

“They found something.' He said he's got dog in him. He's got that dog in him. I said, 'He got that dog in him?' He said, 'Man, he's got real dog in him. He got some real dog in him.'”

Irvin's words carry 0 weight.


Listen, folks. It's Randle's job to lose. McFadden is the COP back and Dunbar is squarely entrenched as the team's passing down back.


This is a RBBC and the fact is Christine Michael's game just lacks the nuances to make him a reliable bellcow back, even behind Dallas's offensive line.


I get it, he's a fantasy football folk hero. But he's not going to simply leapfrog both Randle and McFadden.


The story makes for great click-bait in fantasy circles, but even Irvin himself conceded he doesn't know much about Michael, he just took Faulk's word for it. Faulk was simply offering conjecture. Michael has some great tools, and he certainly passes the eye-test, but he can't catch, he can't pass-block, and he isn't a great fit for the Cowboy's ZBS.

Pro Tip: One of the reasons he could never carve out a significant role in Seattle (Besides Beastmode) was that Seattle had their own ZBS that Michael simply couldn't grasp properly.


He's just a waste of a roster spot unless you're in a very deep league.

Full point ppr
No points for return yardage but TD's are 6

Lockette
Cole Beas (expanded role ???)
Charles Johnson at Det (see Stevie and Keenan week 1)
Nelson Ag ( low percentage route guy)

Leaning Beas

 

[HEATHEN]

standard scoring:

Cobb
T Will
Evans

which two should I start?

Cobb and Evans, provided that Evans is healthy enough to be a go on Sunday.

Standard: RB2- Gore, Blount or Yeldon? Got Abdullah in the flex

And Palmer vs Chi or Ryan vs NYG? Leaning towards Palmer over my boy Matty Ice

I'd go Gore and Palmer. Julio is matchup proof but Matt Ryan isn't, DRC and Prince represent a stiff test. Palmer should air it out no problem against the Bears.

Need help choosing flex spot:

Golden Tate
Ameer Abdullah
Allen Robinson

TIA

Abdullah.

Flex one. PPR.


TJ Yeldon
Eric Decker
Torrey Smith

Yeldon.

I'd go with Charles Johnson at Detroit.


I like this one to be a bounce back game for the Vikings. Bridgewater should get it going in this one and throw his first TDs of the year.

 

[nick.]

i'd try to stay away from the Cowboys & Eagles backfield's if you can...

they don't give a single **** about having a "fantasy relevant" RB. the Eagles in week 1 ran the ball pretty well as a team. no one guy will ever be an every-down back like want them to.

in Dallas, Randle will get most of the carries, but Dunbar will be in on passing downs & DMC will come in as a change of pace like SneakerHeathen said..

there are better options out there than trying to guess who's gonna get 60% of the snaps.

Ameer

 

[gameover2]

Agholor or Wheaton for WR3?

Pick 2: Sankey, Ingram, Blount

 

[snax91]

Agholor or Wheaton for WR3?

Pick 2: Sankey, Ingram, Blount

I like Wheaton for WR3, and Ingram and Sankey. I can't trust New England's running backs.

[bravo]

More upside, Terrence West or Devin Street?

 

[timelessflight]

Melvin Gordon @ Cincy

or

Dion Lewis @ Buffalo


.5 PPR


Thanks

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Gordon without question. Can't trust a Belichik RB in general, let alone against the Bills defense.

 

[miamin2]

Sankey, Davante Adams, or Joseph Randle for the Flex play this weekend? Ppr league

Can't wait for Bell to come back next week...

 

[buc em]

Davante

 

[macbk]

Waiver claim was denied for Foster . Really was hoping him being available would have slipped through the rest of my league somehow.

No biggie.

 

[jellybellytelly]

Mariota or Tannehill this week

 

[nelson999]

PPR league

Pick 3 

1 WR and 2 flex

John Brown 

Brandon Marshall

Roddy White

Andre Johnson

Smith Sr.

Danny Woodhead

[johnnyredstorm]

Yep those 3.

 

[yvespo3]

Thoughts on Marqise Lee, he's back this week

 

[nelson999]

 

Yep those 3.

That's the exact 3 i've had sitting in my lineup all week 

Just wanted to see if anyone had a good reason to change it but i guess not 

 

[macbk]

Teddy or Stafford tomorrow? They're both versing one another.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Stafford

 

[nelson999]

Brady or Brees?   Im worried the Saints smash the Bucs early and stop throwing the ball

different league,  Stafford or Tannehill?

 

[yankeephan87x]

Tannehill or Romo this week
