My entire roster aside from QBs is stacked

Lynch, Gore, Bush
Calvin, Fitz, T Smith, Harvin
Jimmy Graham

QBs are just my weak spot.

I know Harvin and a D for Newton isn't realistic...I was just freaking out this morning when I saw Cutler's latest update. I picked up Geno in a desperation move last week and he finished -11 on Sunday.

I'll probably end up going with Harvin in the flex and have Glennon as my only QB for the playoffs.

11/19/2013 8:37:05 PM

do you play in an 8 team league? JFC

11/19/2013 8:56:57 PM

12.

I went the forget about the QBs route and go for everything else. Playing with people who went for QBs early and it really opened up the draft board for me.

I was doing just fine with Cutler and Pryor, and then Cutler got hurt, and then Pryor. So yeah...

11/19/2013 9:10:23 PM

Im in the weirdest league ever where we play two QBs

I have Glennon and Tannehill also Geno smith...I hate Geno.

I put in a trade request and the guy came back with geNO and I receive Desean Jackson

should i do it?
I have a few other offers on the table i may wait out...but if none of them go, im sure thats worth it...yes?

11/19/2013 9:53:14 PM

^I think I would.

Thanks to byes, etc I have found my 2QB league team in a tight spot this week, and potentially looking at starting 4 Saints vs the Falcons. I co-own this team with my father in law and have to fight him from doing stupid stuff on a weekly basis.

My current starting lineup, 2QB, ppr league:

QB Eli Manning
QB Alex Smith
RB Knowshon Moreno
RB Montee Ball
WR Calvin Johnson
WR Marques Colston
TE Jimmy Graham
Flex Adrian Peterson
D/ST Saints
K Saints kicker

My bench:
Andy Dalton (bye)
Dennis Johnson (trying to drop for Joique Bell on Friday)
Gio Bernard (bye)
Percy Harvin (bye)
Wes Welker (concussion)
Jordan Cameron
Titans D/ST (@ Raiders)


4 Saints seems like a lot to start in one week, even if it is a high scoring game. I am leaning towards putting AP in as my RB1, and moving Ball to the flex. That way if Welker players, I can just sub him in for Ball. Am I overthinking this starting 4 Saints thing, or is it something I should do everything to avoid?

11/20/2013 7:54:50 AM

It's not like you are trying to start Brees Colston Ingram and graham... 2 of your 4 are D and K so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Put AP in the RB slot for sure, so you can make a last minute call on welker

2 out of 3:
R Jennings v Ten, Andre Brown v Dallas, Rainey v Det? Been chasing the RB position all year after drafting Doug Martin, Trent, and McFadden

[Edited on November 20, 2013 at 9:24 AM. Reason : .]

11/20/2013 9:23:40 AM

^ I think Jennings and Brown

Standard league, 6 points per pass td

Eli Manning (starting Andre Brown at RB and possibly nicks at WR) vs Cowboys or Big Ben vs Browns (My current D/ST is the browns)

Tony Gonzalez vs Saints or Jordan Reed vs 49ers?

Hakeem Nicks vs Cowboys or Roddy White vs Saints?

11/20/2013 12:20:52 PM

I would go Ben, Reed and Nicks



Vernon Davis @ Washington or Fleener @ Arizona (which has allowed the most points to TEs on the year)

11/20/2013 1:11:51 PM

Vernon

He is basically a WR this year, finally healthy and Kaep needs him.

Fleener is too inconsistent for me, although he had a huge game last week..thats a tough call but I think there is more upside for Vernon.

11/20/2013 2:55:46 PM

Need a QB on the bye week. Pick one:

McCown @ STL

Palmer vs IND

Flacco vs JETS

Tolzien vs MIN

ALSO, Pick one

Pittsburgh vs. Cleveland
Raiders vs. Titans

[Edited on November 20, 2013 at 11:09 PM. Reason : f]

11/20/2013 11:07:10 PM

McCown is going to go ape shit this weekend. Like 350 and 4 TDs. Book it

I don't know what to tell ya as far as defense

11/20/2013 11:26:29 PM

Pick 2:

Andre Brown (Go Pack)
Le'Veon Bell
Demarco Murray
Vereen

0.5 ppr

11/20/2013 11:36:46 PM

Brown and Bell

If Murray is 100% you might swap out him with Bell...

Vereen...there are too many guys that touch the ball there.

Still need someone to answer mine...and McCown with 4? yeahhhh

11/20/2013 11:39:57 PM

Rams run defense is good, but they're susceptible to give up big passing yards. McCown is fighting for a big paycheck....he's got something to prove and he's going to go balls out. If Bennett and Ashley are on your roster, I'd start them too

11/20/2013 11:43:23 PM

I am not generally one to jump to conclusions when it comes to trades ,and whether they are collusion, etc. But I am in a league where you pay out a dime for every point that you finish below someone in the standings (10 team, 2 qb, ppr league) so every point counts.

A trade goes down last night between the first place team (8-3) and the last place team (2-9).

First place team gets:
Aaron Rodgers
Benjarvus Green-Ellis (dropped literally minutes after trade)

Last place team gets:
EJ Manual
Josh Gordon

At first it doesn't look to bad, as Rodgers is out this week. But he is going to be back next week. EJ Manual is on bye this week, so it is not like the last place team made the trade because he needed a QB this week.

Last place team's QBs are now:
Mike Glennon
EJ Manual
Josh McCown


I just don't see how this benefits the last place team at all, as he didn't need a WR either. I mean is this an even trade that I am just reading way too much into?

11/21/2013 7:12:33 AM

how stacked is he at WR that he can't benefit from Josh Gordon?

11/21/2013 9:08:53 AM

^His WR are Dez, Desean Jackson, Riley Cooper, Anquan Boldin.

I guess I was just looking at it as in a league where you pay for every point you don't score basically that the drop from Aaron Rodgers in Weeks 13-16 to EJ Manual is far more than any upgrade Gordon might provide. I figured I was just reading too much into it.

11/21/2013 9:14:31 AM

that's nothing. in one of my leagues here's a trade that went down last week (i'm in first place)

2nd place team gets:
AJ Green
VJax

Last place team gets:
Rivers
Ridley

...

11/21/2013 9:27:55 AM

Decisions to make this week. I am in a must win (sitting at 7-3-1 playing the 1st place 8-3 team in division).

Tony Gonzalez tonight vs. Saints (I don't think my backup Jordan Reed will play)
or
drop Montee Ball for Delanie Walker @ Raiders?


Hakeem Nicks vs Cowboys (Eli is prob my QB and Andre Brown is my Rb)
or
Roddy White tonight vs. Saints?

11/21/2013 9:59:19 AM

Play Walker and White.

Should I start
Bowe vs SD
or
Kendall Wright vs Oak?

11/21/2013 11:02:57 AM

I think I'd go Bowe.

I'm thin on WR options with AJ Green on bye.

0.5 PPR:
Rod Streater (v TEN...think he'd be a decent option if Denarius Moore doesn't play)
Terrance Williams (@ NYG)
Kris Durham (v TB)
Rishard Matthews (v CAR)
DeAndre Hopkins (v JAX)

...really not much out there.

11/21/2013 1:21:03 PM

^Streater, the Raiders backup seems to like him a good deal.


Well my opponent picked up Delanie Walker, so it is either:

Tony Gonzalez tonight vs Saints (if he plays)
or
Hope that Jordan Reed plays Monday night, and if not pick up TE Sunday.

Guess I have to go Gonzalez?

[Edited on November 21, 2013 at 1:50 PM. Reason : .]

11/21/2013 1:40:44 PM

^Probably have to. Dangerous to wait on Reed if he still hasn't been cleared to practice.


Have a flex dilemma.
Non-PPR, pick 1:
Andre Brown vs Dallas
Ben Tate vs Jax

I really like both of their match-ups, but don't like that Brown got vultured last week by Jacobs. Tate is getting a bunch of carries, but still not 100%, could finally be the game he breaks out, and he'll eventually have to get in the endzone with as many carries/yards as he's putting up.

11/21/2013 1:56:36 PM

^Tough decision. I think I would go Tate.

11/21/2013 2:07:51 PM

copying some of this from the other day just to get my roster here:

My league is a 14 team non-ppr

QBs get 6 points for TD passes, 1 point per 10 rush/receiving yards and 1 point per 10 punt return yards. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR/TE flex, 1 K, 1 DST)

My Team

QB
Russell WIlson
Mike Glennon

RB
Le'Veon Bell
Alfred Morris
Ben Tate

WR/TE
Calvin Johnson
Vincent Jackson
Julius Thomas
Percy Harvin
Harry Douglas
Delanie Walker

K
Mason Crosby

DST
Rams
Patriots

I just dropped the Steelers DST to add Delanie Walker. My main concern for this week is the status of Julius Thomas. Sounds like he was basically just an observer in today's practice. Unfortunately, Harry Douglas plays tonight so I can't insert him at the last minute if Thomas can't go. Should I go on and start Douglas tonight, or should I wait and hope Thomas can go and then fall back to Delanie Walker if he can't?

Also, I think I'm starting Tate and Morris this week. Should I go with Le'veon over either of those? I am in control of my playoff destiny as long as I win in Week 12 and 13. Thanks.

11/21/2013 2:10:18 PM

Yeah I think Tate, too. But I like both those options.

Help with my D (SEA on bye):
IND (@ARI)
DAL (@NYG)
NYJ (@BAL)
GB (v MIN)

11/21/2013 2:11:02 PM

Green Bay, no doubt.

Ponder isnt great and Peterson is banged up plus the Packers have gotten a lot of sacks lately.


I went with Palmer over McCown. He is averaging more yards and TDs lately but what really sealed it for me was that the guy im playing has larry fitzgerald, so i figured if Palmer throws a TD it will wash out those points essentially.

Also went with Pittsburgh D considering they are playing whatever Browns QB they decide to start.

11/21/2013 3:27:54 PM

Sproles Inactive.

[Edited on November 21, 2013 at 6:58 PM. Reason : f]

11/21/2013 6:32:33 PM

^ thanks...an with that in mind I'm left with this:

Woodhead vs KC (0.5 PPR) or Donald Brown @ ARI?

I guess I gotta go Woodhead even with the poor match up

11/21/2013 8:13:10 PM

Quote :

"I went with Palmer over McCown"

I'll bump this on Sunday night and say I Told You So

11/21/2013 8:24:50 PM

Do any of you more technologically advanced people know if there is a way to download all of the data from my league on Yahoo? I was hoping I could get things like performance of players per team and the match ups from each week and I don't feel like doing it manually.

11/22/2013 12:44:09 PM

first round of playoffs for me tomorrow (college league).

I've got Tahj Boyd vs Citadel, my opponent has Jameis Winston vs. Idaho.

I feel like I've got a definite chance that Boyd stays in the game longer.

11/22/2013 1:19:16 PM

I doubt it. Yahoo is pretty good as far as its free stats, advice etc...but its a bit limited.

The best bet would be find a site where you can import your league settings and players to get an output of what you are looking.

11/22/2013 1:20:09 PM

That's kinda what I figured

11/22/2013 3:20:31 PM

So I just picked up Michael Crabtree of waivers, is that because I got lucky or is that a waste of a roster slot? I figured if he is active it might be a good backup WR option.

11/23/2013 9:50:50 AM

^ He was Kaepernick's favorite target so I would say it was worth it, depending on your roster of course.


Well in a must win matchup with the #1 team in my division (I am .5 games back with 3 weeks left), Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez have me already 10 points below my projection for the week. I am hoping to get a good performance from my d/st.

Pick 1:

Browns vs Steelers (They play Jags next week as well, who I am currently starting)
Steelers @ Browns
Titans @ Raiders
Rams vs Bears
Bears @ Rams

thoughts?

11/23/2013 11:24:53 AM

Must win week, 6 pts for pass td:

Eli Manning vs. Cowboys

Or

Big Ben @ Browns?

11/24/2013 11:07:34 AM

I'm in the same boat, deciding between Big Ben or Case Keenum (who may or may not finish the game against the Jaguars).

I'd offer advice, but I'm just as undecided as you are about Roethlisberger.

11/24/2013 12:05:09 PM

^I think I would go Big Ben in your case.

Updating my needs:

Eli Manning vs Cowboys (looked like some wind on FFnow)
or
Big Ben @ Browns


Flex, non ppr:

Ray Rice vs Jets
Donald Brown @ Cardinals
Coby Fleener ( @ Cardinals, who are worst in league against TE)

thoughts?

11/24/2013 12:27:06 PM

go figure the week I cut Timmy Wright, he's on pace for a 40 catch and 350 yard game

11/24/2013 1:22:49 PM

Palmer did just fine. Worked out better since it washed out the other guy having Fitzy

and I went with Pitt D. Worked out perfect.

11/24/2013 9:56:01 PM

who had more points though? Palmer or McCown?

11/24/2013 9:59:06 PM

Palmer. +3 more actually.

[Edited on November 24, 2013 at 10:07 PM. Reason : f]

11/24/2013 10:06:27 PM

ah, forgot about the doodoo INT that Josh threw

11/24/2013 10:22:58 PM

Awesome, lost the game on that Peyton TD pass to Thomas. Of course the guy I'm playing has them both

Would like to thank the Chiefs -1 pt contribution today for keeping me out of the playoffs. Go fuck yourself Andy Reid

[Edited on November 24, 2013 at 11:33 PM. Reason : kc]

11/24/2013 11:33:16 PM

It's do or die time for me. I'm up 6 with Gore left, he has Davis and 49ers D. Even with the win I'll be in a dog fight for the rest of the season for the playoffs.

Please help with my shitty TE situation.

Roster: Garret Graham, Mychal Rivera
Graham's value won't last long when Daniels comes back. Rivera looked to be building a rapport with McGloin and then he goes and gets concussed.

Availible: Jared Cook, Scott Chandler, Tim Wright, John Carlson, Rob Housler, Anthony Fasano, Ladarius Green, Brandon Myers, Bret Celek, Jacob Tame, and the rest of the shit at the bottom of the TE WW.

Who would you want for ROS? I've got enough room on the roster for two if need be. Has anyone ever tried streaming TEs? Any suggestions?

11/25/2013 7:56:47 PM

^Cook seems to be coming back around, and Carlson seems has been good since Rudolph got hurt.


Would you do this trade in a standard league, 2 rb, 2 wr, flex:

I give:
Chris Johnson
Hakeem Nicks or Roddy White

I get:
Shane Vereen
Jordy Nelson


My other rbs are :

McCoy
AP
Andre Brown

My other wrs are:
Calvin
Nicks
Roddy

thoughts?

11/25/2013 8:33:26 PM

Vereen is good but I'd rather have him in a ppr format, and Nelson just isn't an elite WR without Rodgers so I'd hold onto cj2k. I'd see if I could get something better elsewhere personally.

11/25/2013 8:50:49 PM

I needed Gore to get 40 yards tonight...that's it...to take over 1st in my league. He's not going to do it. Pitiful.

This is why I don't play fantasy but once every three years. It makes my blood boil enough that I swear it off for a couple seasons.

11/25/2013 11:08:33 PM

Gore is killing me tonight also.

I came in with a 42 pt. lead. I have Gore and Vernon Davis playing, opponent has Kaep and Boldin. My 42 pt. lead is currently down to 4...
