MEGATRON!!

Yea, him and Stafford were discussed during the Ace Race on Saturday......... little did we know how much they'd do.

Gaaadammm Marshawn Lynch. Every expert ranked him #1 or #2 RB for the week and the Fn seachicken lays an egg.

I needed him last night, even a decent night would have been fine.

I simply stopped watching the game in the 2nd quarter after the Seahawks bootlegged Wilson TWICE on the 1 yard line instead of going Beast Mode. To be fair, St. Louis did put 12 guys in the box every play. Grinds my gears.

Guy in my money league is offering up Calvin for trade (his season is shot)

Not sure if I should bite the bullet and give him a 2nd round pick for him. I've already lost my 4th round pick to the same team. Losing a 2 and a 4 is tough. I've managed well so far this year without a 3rd round pick and virtually no 1st round pick either (T Rich).

Luck or Dalton this week?

If this is a keeper league, I would snap that up. Who could you draft in round two that would equal what Megatron is capable of doing?

Toss up. They will probably finish with similar numbers.

Keeper league but I can't keep him. Can't keep anyone drafted in first 2 rounds.

Foles!? Good god.

Yes, I started all of them. Some of them on multiple teams.

Ouch!

Trent Richardson has found a permanent spot on my bench.

What a waste of a 1st round pick

Destroyed by Andre Johnson in 2 leagues.

Who would be the hottest FA pick up for RB? Anyone that is worth anything is already unavailable in my league, but with the injuries, who is the hot RB/FA this week? Maybe RJ/OAK?

Maybe ogbannaya?

I'm glad I grabbed Mike James when I did. See ya Trent.

Dennis Johnson looked pretty good to me. Houston is hurting at RB right now badly.

I have a team decimated with injuries that is in a tough spot this week and I need some help. PPR - Need to start 2WR, 2RB, and a Flex.

Currently I am planning to start: Rashad Jennings, Gio Bernard, CJ Spiller, Terrance Williams, and Hakeem Nicks.

On my bench I have: Lamar Miller, Arian Foster, Darren Sproles, James Jones, Marquis Colston.

Available FAs: Kendall Wright, Michael Floyd, Emmanuel Sanders, Nate Washington, Riley Cooper.

Who should I start and is there anyone I should drop to improve at WR?

I think you gotta roll with what you have there. Gives you the best chance.

I take it you dropped Wright for Spiller?

I'd probably drop Colston and pick up Cooper. Foles seems to like him.

I hate Nicks, but if there was ever a week to play him it's this week!

I hate Nicks too but with Cruz banged up, he could end up having a good week.

If you picked up Cooper would you play him over Nicks or Terance Williams?

Yes Eric, I had to drop someone when Spiller was dropped and Wright was the low man on the totem pole.

I feel pretty good about my chances this week even with the loss of Buck Rodgers. I still have one question mark though...

Luck @ QB

Rashard Jennings RB
Knowshon RB

Megatron WR
Keenan Allen WR

Clay TE

Flex can be WR/RB/TE
I have:
Andre Ellington RB
Fitzgerald WR
Cooper WR
or less likely Mo Jo D.

Defense is Seattle
with Novak doing the kicking

Anyone care to chime in on who to use in the flex? Sometimes depth is a problem in fantasy.

Well, you got your stud Fitzgerald. This is who I would play.

You are also starting Rashad over both Ellington and MJD; both are ranked higher this week by ESPN. Either one of them is a solid play at flex. I would sit Cooper but I do like his matchup at GB.

Problems.

Non PPR with bonuses for yardage >50, >100, etc.

Injured Cecil Shorts or injured Ben Tate?

I am really having a tough time deciding. I feel like Jennings is a good play against the G-men as the starting RB. I have to play Knowshon. Megatron is a no-brainer, and it seems like Keenan Allen deserves the start in a shootout w Denver.

Leaves me with one spot for:
Fitzy, MoJoD, Ellington. I keep leaning toward Ellington, because I think Houstons pass D is better then the run D, and Ellington catches passes. Maybe over-thinking it. I also ussually like the RBs over WRs but Fitzy is supposed to be healthy finally.

Dano's Wash. Defense put up a mere 1.5 pts last night.

Shorts has more junk time potential. Houston will most likely be down and forced to pass more.

You should stomp them so it shouldn't matter. I feel like Rashard is a strong play as well. Just telling you what I am hearing from the experts. I usually end up playing my gut though. I think any of those 3 is a strong Flex play. All better than the choice I have Tate or Kendall Wright.

Pulled off 2 pretty big trades in one of my money leagues. Stacked team that just couldn't find ways to win. Dropped to 4-6 with 4 games left and would need to go 3-1 or 4-0 with some help to get in. Ppr and keeper league.

First trade: Julius Thomas, Tavon Austin, and my 19th pick for Blackmon, Dobson, and 2nd round pick.

Second trade: Calvin, 3rd round, and 10th round for VJax, 1st round, and 8th round.


It keeps me in contention this year, but sets me up next year with the following picks: 2 1st round picks, 1 in rounds 2,5,6,7. 3 in the 8th, and 2 in the 9th. Morris and (most likely) Blackmon would cost me an 8th and 9th round pick.

Ultimately I ended up trading the following this year:

Given - Jaquizz, Austin Pettis, Calvin, Julius, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th, and 19th

Got - Shorts, Vjax, Blackmon, Dobson, 1st, 2nd, 2 8th, and a 9th.

Keenan Allen or Josh Gordon

Pierre Thomas or Andre Ellington

not ppr but get pts for every yard rushing or catching

Don't think it matters with Allen and Gordon - Junk time yardage could cancel out potential TD's by Allen.

Ellington over Thomas
