^^Yeah I put up solid points 2 weeks ago but Michael Turner all of a sudden exploded for one game and was enough to trump me. Argh.

Always weird to see the #3 person in scoring overall at like 1-4 in my league. He keeps being top 5 scorer each week but playing the #1 or #2 scorer of the week each week.

10/11/2012 8:11:50 AM

Would I be crazy to start Rapethlisberger (Ten) over Peyton (SD)? I've started Peyton all year but this week they both have awesome matchups. Do I test the fantasy gods just so I can have a player to watch tonight?

10/11/2012 10:59:49 AM

I would probably stick with Peyton.
Choose 2 RB, 2 WR and 1 Flex: I'm leaning towards sitting Lynch and Maclin. I feel Seattle will be too far behind NE to run effectively and who knows about Philadelphia.

Mendenhall (TEN)
Mathews (DEN)
Lynch (NE)
Wayne (NYJ)
Bowe (TB)
Julio Jones (OAK)
Maclin (DET)

10/11/2012 11:26:11 AM

Tough to sit Lynch. I don't think Seattle gets blown out at home. Maclin...and Bowe.

10/11/2012 11:27:51 AM

Hey, remember Felix Jones?

10/11/2012 12:09:21 PM

Ballard or LeShoure in PPR?

happens in every league I've ever been in

there's gotta be a term for it

10/11/2012 3:49:29 PM

Flip a coin. I'd say Leshoure just because the Colts like to throw the ball so much...even with a decent RB in Brown. But the Jets have a shitty run D.

Philly is pretty stout on run D and they like to have Stafford sling it.

Fuck it...Ballard.

I'm 3-2 and have 40 more total points than the 2nd place team and 120 points more than the last place team. But I've ran into two buzz saws. I'm playing the first place team this week and he has the next to lowest point total in the league. He's just been lucky in that his "Points Against" is the lowest in the league bu 60 friggin points!

10/11/2012 3:55:44 PM

it's the ultimate example of fantasy football being a complete crap shoot every season

10/11/2012 4:04:08 PM

Anyone ever done a total points league? No head to head matchups, just total points for the year. Eliminates getting fucked, but also kills a lot of the week to week excitement. Alternatively, I've done a league where you matchup with everyone in your league every week. Example, 10 team league, I'm matched up against every other team in my league every week. So I go 5-4, 7-2, 3-6, whatever. At the end of the year you have like 100+ matchups, so the larger sample sizes give a more accurate assessment of whether your team is lucky or good.

10/11/2012 4:09:48 PM

^ that's the exact methodology I use to post weekly power rankings. Gets people to stop whining about being unlucky if its not legit.


What website let's you play like that though???

I think playing two teams would be good. If you have a great week, 2-0. Ok week 1-1, terrible week you eat two scroats that week. A lot more fair.

10/11/2012 4:15:20 PM

a surefire way to make people lose interest in fantasy football is to have a roto league

10/11/2012 4:31:35 PM

Some guy set it up via custom settings on the CBS site, I think this was 3-4 years back, the year Chris Johnson hit 2000. I like the threesome idea. Adds more parity without being overwhelming.

10/11/2012 4:41:59 PM

dammit Suisham

that wouldve given me 19 points for my bye week pickup

10/11/2012 11:44:49 PM

just offered 2 trades

dalton for Fred Jackson

and
Tom Brady and Pierre Thomas
for
Eli manning and marShawn lynch

doubt either will be accepted, however any reason to withdrawal either offer?

10/12/2012 12:53:28 AM

so, wtf happened with mendenhall? 6 yards?

10/12/2012 6:40:35 AM

do i start romo against ravens or andrew luck against jets?

10/12/2012 7:14:52 AM

^^Mendenhall had an Achilles injury and missed most of the game.

10/12/2012 7:57:36 AM

^^ I'd go Luck.

I need a backup TE this week (not sure about Finely playing) and I need to drop either Vikings (Was) or Seahawks D (NE). I like Vikings this week but not going forward and vice versa for the Seahawks. Who do you drop? or do I drop both and grab Miami for the week?

[Edited on October 12, 2012 at 3:24 PM. Reason : .]

10/12/2012 3:21:54 PM

dang, tough choice on my starting D for tomorrow.

49ers vs. Giants (great defense, but dangerous offense, especially big play potential)

or

Colts vs. Jets (meh defense vs HORRIBLE offense)


my league gives a LOT of points for low total points allowed and a big penalty for 30+ points allowed. Also the standard points for sacks, INTs, fumbles, etc.

thoughts?

10/14/2012 1:00:53 AM

ridley or mcgahee??

10/14/2012 9:35:33 AM

^i would pick ridley.

i can't decide between my flex options: james jones for GB, or mikel leshoure for detroit

10/14/2012 9:57:30 AM

Just got my Andre Johnson for C.J.Spiller trade accepted. Do I pull the trigger?

I currently have Ridley and Doug Martin

[Edited on October 14, 2012 at 9:59 AM. Reason : .]

10/14/2012 9:58:49 AM

Jaybee go with Indy!

10/14/2012 10:00:41 AM

Ballard or D. Moore (PPR)?

10/14/2012 10:06:09 AM

Moore.


Flacco vs. Dallas or Dalton @ Cleveland?

10/14/2012 11:16:55 AM

this McGahee or Ridley decision is killing me. Im leaning towards McGahee based on matchups...

10/14/2012 12:19:40 PM

^^ Dalton

^ Willis

Need two

Decker (SD)
LeShoure (Phi)
Spiller (Ari)
Floyd (Den)

anyone else?

10/14/2012 12:41:27 PM

I'd go Colts. Too scared of NYG

10/14/2012 12:57:11 PM

do i chance aaron hernandez today @ seattle or scott chandler @ arizona?

10/14/2012 3:37:52 PM

tough call...i'd probably roll the dice and go with Hernandez

which defense should I pick up for week 8?

DET vs. SEA
NYJ vs. MIA
KC vs. OAK

10/14/2012 3:49:32 PM

What a bust Stafford has been this year. Lesean McCoy too come to think of it

10/14/2012 3:52:48 PM

Thanks for waiting until I finally benched you to go bananas, Shonn Greene.

10/14/2012 3:58:09 PM

Seems like a good day to bring up my Shonn Greene top 25 prediction

10/14/2012 4:04:38 PM

Colts haven't been able to stop the run for 5 years

10/14/2012 4:09:22 PM

James Jones tonight vs Houston w/ Jennings out

or

Malcom Floyd monday night, who is currently listed as questionable, but had a full practice saturday

10/14/2012 7:33:08 PM

shout out to russell wilson. thanks for being an awesome bye week replacement for brees.

10/14/2012 7:34:52 PM

Also would like to mention RGIII's 30+ point performance today which is probably more than Matt Cassel will score the rest of this season.

10/14/2012 8:29:37 PM

I played it too cautiously with RG3 today -- started Eli over him in one league and went with Vick in another. I'll more than likely get away with it in both leagues, but I know this much: I won't sit him again this year.

10/14/2012 8:35:21 PM

awesome night to sit jordy nelson

10/14/2012 9:04:08 PM

Lol at sitting RG3. Even before this week, he was top 3 fantasy player.

Would you sit Brady or Brees ever? You people over think this stuff.

10/14/2012 9:25:48 PM

if Brady or Brees got knocked the fuck out 7 days earlier, it would merit consideration

10/14/2012 9:57:10 PM

Tree would kick Mario Williams off his football team though to make sure the walk on sophomores were getting enough reps in practice #TOB

10/14/2012 9:59:03 PM

face would tout his Shonn Greene will be a top-25 running back prediction after he goes off against the worst run defense in the last 5 years of the NFL

10/14/2012 10:11:25 PM

15-3 combined record in my 3 leagues.

10/14/2012 10:13:22 PM

congratulations, i'm 4-1 in my one league

not sure how you're 15-3 though, unless neither you or your opponents in all 3 leagues have any Texans, Packers, Chargers or Broncos

10/14/2012 10:14:56 PM

Finley is just the worst

10/14/2012 10:17:05 PM

he had that one game a couple years ago with 3 TDs

all he's done since then is drop passes and get injured

10/14/2012 10:17:50 PM
