Title: 2012 Fantasy Football Advice Thread
Post by: indeedproceed on September 03, 2012, 05:20:11 PM
So we did this last year, and I'm racking my brain this year again in my money league that I obsess wayyyy too much over. Its a 16 team PPR, and I'm looking pretty good right now:

QB: Cam Newton
WR1: Percy Harvin
WR2: Crabtree
WR3: Vic Cruz
RB1: Matt Forte
RB2: Reggie Bush
TE: Vernon Davis

Bench:
RB Michael Bush (Forte Insurance)
WR Jon Baldwin
RB Jaquizz Rodgers
TE Kyle Rudolph

We also have a team defensive slot (Atlanta), and 2 IDP players of which I only suit up 1 guy a week to keep an extra bench spot open (London Fletcher). We're only supposed to have 3 bench spots, but because of the league, I like to keep a guy I think will bloom late stashed on the bench.

Its a keeper league, where the keeper costs the pick in the current year the round before the pick the player was taken with last year. So this year I got Cam Newton (11th round in 2011) and Victor Cruz (9th round in 2011).

So basically here is my question for all you fantasy geeks out there:

I let go of Ruben Randle to pickup my one IDP player, and I swapped Martellus Bennett for Kyle Rudolph.

Were they smart moves?

For a 12 team league, you did very well. I don't think there are many if any weaknesses there.

Wait to see if Doug Martin or Titus Young play to their potential this season first, and you probably can.

Package Charles/Cook for another RB/TE combo.

I have a question, who's defense should I start for week 1.

49ers Defense vs. the Green Bay Packers, or

Steelers Defense vs the Denver Broncos

Thank you.

Thank you.

Steelers 100%. The 49ers are good, but the Pack will air it out against just about anyone. Limiting the Packers to 21 points is a good showing by just about any team. The Broncos are still figuring it out, and I bet the Steelers stomp them.

Fantasy sleeper alert: Joel Dreessen passed Jacob Tamme on the depth chart today, making him the Broncos' #1 TE, which means he'll be one of Manning's favorite targets. If anyone out there is in a deep league and needs a starting TE, there ya go.

I can only have 4 running backs on my team and I drafted MJD high.  I added R. Jennings as insurance for the holdout.  Now they might split carries and I feel like I'm in a no-win situation.

1. Who should I start next week?
2. Is Jennings worth holding on to or should I pick up someone like M. Ingram?

As a fellow MJD owner, I would pick up Ingram over Jennings.  I think Ingram may be the better move.  He may have decent TD numbers this year.

As a fellow MJD owner, I would pick up Ingram over Jennings.  I think Ingram may be the better move.  He may have decent TD numbers this year.

I see it the opposite way. I think Ingram is going to have a static year, with Sproles easily being the number 1 option.

Start Jennings this week and wait; before the holdout they looked like they were going to use Jennings as a 10-15 touches a game minimum guy anyways. If he has a hot game this week and a hot game next week, you're likely looking at a top 30 back as a basement, with a considerable ceiling if MJD plays like Chris Johnson did last season. It's gonna be a platoon setup no matter what likely.

Honestly Id look at moving one, or better both (without advertising it, it'll drive down the price).

MJD in the 4th is a great steal, though I can understand why someone just wouldn't want an RB1 slot tied to him.

I'd think about moving DeAngelo Williams for a higher ceiling higher risk guy. I believe Stewart is injured this week, so Williams might put up big numbers. If he does, figure out a guy you want who is less known but with a higher ceiling, and go get em.

Or, pair him with one of Julio Jones or Percy Harvin and try to get Megatron or something.

Fantasy sleeper alert: Joel Dreessen passed Jacob Tamme on the depth chart today, making him the Broncos' #1 TE, which means he'll be one of Manning's favorite targets. If anyone out there is in a deep league and needs a starting TE, there ya go.

They're going to play a LOT of split TE sets, agreed for sure that Dressen's a sleeper, but Tamme's been disgustingly over-hyped. I can't believe how many people are passing are Martellus Bennett. That's my guy.

Did you see my first post in the thread? (did anyone? No advice?) I was bullish on Bennett too, but I dropped him because I thought there was a little bit too much unknown there, and Rudolph already has a solid rapport with Ponder, and will be their best target from week 1.

But if Bennett gets a good relationship with Eli early, and with the talent on the Giants receivers, Bennett could be the next Gronk.

I think you made a small mistake w/ Bennett. Hope you can follow my logic - If I were a betting man I don't think Bennett ends up panning out. He's a numskull. But he does have an incredible amount of physical talent, and perhaps Eli and the Giants coaching staff can get it out of him. So there is some upside there.

And while Rudolph is a bit more proven commodity, I think his upside is pretty limited. Probably similar to the top tight end you'd be able to pick up on the waiver wire on any given week.

I like the squad a whole lot, my guess is that you're the favorite in your league. I'd get rid of Santana Moss though. I think your best bet is to hope to strike oil on the waiver wire w/ another RB.

So what you're hoping for is for one of your runningbacks to work out. So I'd look to increase your chances - look into trading Crabtree and Bess, and maybe dropping Ronnie Brown (I don't see him becoming a player you'd want to play week in and week out)

Crabtree and Bess aren't going to get him any quality RB's on his bench and Spiller actually has a decent shot of doing something this year.  Kevin Smith is a solid Flex option for the first few weeks, but that backfield will get more crowded and then he will need Crabtree or Bess as the flex option.  Now if he could package Smith and Crabtree or Bess for an upgrade at RB that would be good, but you aren't going to find that many takers, especially now.

A guy like James Starks could probably be cut though as I just don't see much upside potential in him unless Benson gets injured (GB doesn't run the ball much, and Starks isn't a receiver).

Solid team. I think I changed my mind with your WR. Lloyd is going to be the deep guy but I'm not sure there's a need for it this week. Brown might be your best start this week, coming off a nice camp and Big Ben likes him. Green missed one of the Balt games last year but didn't have a good game in the other. I still like his chances this week, just not as much as Brown.

Matthews is hurt often. McCoy ended up hurt to end last year but I don't think I would classify him as a major risk yet.

I think this year more than ever is just about getting names in the hat and hoping to get lucky at the runningback spot. I think he'd be better off looking to acquire someone like Jacquiz Rodgers and hoping to get lucky, and if that doesn't pan out use the roster spots to acquire backs on the wire.

Crabtree could improve this season, but except in case of injury, he'll never play over his two other receivers.

You only start 1 WR? Those are both sweet matchups. I would go with Lloyd if I had to choose this week.

Naw, I also have AJ Green.

Matt Stafford
Chris Johnson
Michael Turner
AJ Green
Brandon Lloyd
Fred Davis
Pats D
Kicker

Bench:

Antonio Brown, Trent Richardson, Toby Gerhardt, Rashard Jennings
Jacquiz Rodgers, Tony Gonzalez, Andrew Luck
no flex?  how many teams in the league, your team has a lot of talent?

Thanks, ya, no flex. We're a 10 team league with some archaic rules.

Alright, I'm in PPR leagues where you also get 1 pt per every 15 return yards.  In one league I need to decide between Pierre Garcon or Donald Brown to start at the flex.  In another(same settings) I need to decide between Brown, Rashad Jennings or Danny Amendola. 

Any ideas??

I'm big on DBrown this year. Luck will use him often and there's not much in the way of competition.

If return yards in play that opens things up a lot, especially with a point for every 15.  A guy like Isiah Pead would be huge in that setting since he is the Punt AND Kick return guy as well as the #2 RB behind Jackson (who get hurts a bunch).  Devin Hester is also in play.  Guys like that are also often overlooked since people don't pay attention to returners, but they can be incredibly valuable as long as they also get some time on the field.

I'd probably go with Brown the first game over Garcon and see how it goes.  I find when I have question marks the RB is almost always going to be the safer choice. 

I'd probably also go with Brown in the other league.  Amendola is a solid possession receiver, but St. Louis is really all about the run.  Jennings will probably get 15-20 touches, but I would be worried about MJD getting the TD's and getting more touches as the game wears on.

Crabtree and Bess aren't going to get him any quality RB's on his bench

I think this year more than ever is just about getting names in the hat and hoping to get lucky at the runningback spot. I think he'd be better off looking to acquire someone like Jacquiz Rodgers and hoping to get lucky, and if that doesn't pan out use the roster spots to acquire backs on the wire.

Crabtree could improve this season, but except in case of injury, he'll never play over his two other receivers.
Yeah but why give up clear starters at WR for a backup RB that may or may not breakout, especially when you will need one of the WR to play flex a lot this year.  He also has some backup RB's that might strike it rich (so to speak).

Cuz right now he's forced to start Sproles, and I don't see a breakout season for those other guys. Spiller hasn't shown anything over any period of time to show tha he could be a breakout star, why would this year be different?

I guess you could say Starks could breakout, but I've got a feeling that Benson's going to be a monster for them. At the very least, Starks probably isn't seeing any redzone carries with him around.

Conventional thinking will say wait on Crabtree and then trade him, but I get the feeling that everyone doing fantasy football is going to be pretty 'set' with their starting receiving core. There's just so many guys that can get you numbers there this year.

Darren Sproles was the 6th most productive RB in my PPR league last year. I was 50/50 on drafting him over Harvin in my keeper league this year in the 2nd round, but opted to go for the guy I thought had higher upside.

Yup, you guys are right. Very rare oversight by me on the PPR. VERY RARE.

Regardless, I still stand by my the sentiment of my comments. I'd expect Sproles production to drop off a bit and Jamaal Charles is certainly a question mark. Depth needs to be there, and I think he can afford it w/ the surrounding starters.

I guess the way I look at it, is if I was drafting and I had his starters and I could select Crabtree or Jaquizz, I am drafting Crabtree so why would I make that trade at this point.

Now I think he should explore packaging Crabtree with one of his three starting RB's to see if he can get an upgrade (obviously the better the RB he packages, the better upgrade I would be looking at).  You know maybe Crabtree and Smith could get a Doug Martin or something like that.  And yeah I know Martin is a rookie, but he seems like the clear #1 as opposed to Smith he may be 3rd string by the end of the year (behind Leshoure and Best).  A trade like that would have some merit and would be worth exploring.

Fantasy sleeper alert: Joel Dreessen passed Jacob Tamme on the depth chart today, making him the Broncos' #1 TE, which means he'll be one of Manning's favorite targets. If anyone out there is in a deep league and needs a starting TE, there ya go.

They're going to play a LOT of split TE sets, agreed for sure that Dressen's a sleeper, but Tamme's been disgustingly over-hyped. I can't believe how many people are passing are Martellus Bennett. That's my guy.

Did you see my first post in the thread? (did anyone? No advice?) I was bullish on Bennett too, but I dropped him because I thought there was a little bit too much unknown there, and Rudolph already has a solid rapport with Ponder, and will be their best target from week 1.

But if Bennett gets a good relationship with Eli early, and with the talent on the Giants receivers, Bennett could be the next Gronk.

I think you made a small mistake w/ Bennett. Hope you can follow my logic - If I were a betting man I don't think Bennett ends up panning out. He's a numskull. But he does have an incredible amount of physical talent, and perhaps Eli and the Giants coaching staff can get it out of him. So there is some upside there.

And while Rudolph is a bit more proven commodity, I think his upside is pretty limited. Probably similar to the top tight end you'd be able to pick up on the waiver wire on any given week.

I'm not liking Bennett's 3 receptions in a half. If he is catching 6 balls a game while the Giants run game splutters...crap.

Its funny, I was listening to the game last night and they had the cowboys announcers on the radio and they said, Bennet doesnt like blocking, he is a route runner, he just never got the chance behind witten.

Ya, I remember from 'Hard Knocks' when he was backing up JAAAAAASSSSSOOOOOOOOONNNN WIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEENNN* he showed a pretty clear disinterest in blocking.

Because Spiller is healthy, which he was able to show today with an absolutely monster of a game.  Looks like Jackson's injury isn't serious, but I think Spiller's game probably warrants more action going forward.  Crabtree is also looking pretty solid through the first half against Green Bay.  His team seems like it should be pretty solid if his starters can stay healthy.

Update:  picked up Roy Helu on waivers, and CJ Spiller is looking like a boss thus far.  Kevin Smith gave me a good game this week too though I doubt that'll last.  Might try and package Smith + Crabtree for a better RB but I'm at least ok with the status quo for now.

Crabtree looks like a possible top-25 or top-20 option among WR's in PPR leagues if he gets targets like he did this week. If you're starting out with 8 pts automatically, plus the yards, plus any touchdowns..

I've got Turner, Reggie Bush, Green-Ellis, and Ridley in this league as RBs. Wondering whether I can get Sproles somehow, and how much to offer.

Return yardage also factors into scoring for this league.

We start two RBs, and 3 WRs. I'm deep at WR, with Megatron, Andre Johnson, Roddy White, DeSean Jackson, and Sidney Rice (pending drop for Cobb).

Yeah im going to win my matchup this week unless ravens kicker gets 20 points.

Its tough with so many teams most teams are very top heavy and being everyones first time doing auction draft prob didn't help that.

There is pretty much no one on waiver wire transfer and to get anyone from waivers you need to bid on blindly and top bidder gets the free agent. You get a $100 for the year.

I have cobb on my bench and I have a bid in for ogletree.  Otherwise I have locker as my back up qb and that's about it.

Would like to snag jermichael finley away from my buddy but not sure who I could part with or who he'd take.

And yes if I have a chance at taking the league I need Newton to step it up big time

Should I try to do the following trade:

Victor Cruz, Michael Crabtree for Larry Fitzgerald and Wes Welker

Cruz is a keeper for me (he'll only cost a 7th rounder to keep next year), and I was thinking about letting him go for Fitz only, but then Welker had his craptastic day while Cruz and Crabtree produced, and beyond that, had the targets to warrant keeping them around.

I've got Turner, Reggie Bush, Green-Ellis, and Ridley in this league as RBs. Wondering whether I can get Sproles somehow, and how much to offer.

Return yardage also factors into scoring for this league.

We start two RBs, and 3 WRs. I'm deep at WR, with Megatron, Andre Johnson, Roddy White, DeSean Jackson, and Sidney Rice (pending drop for Cobb).

Turner/DeShaun for Sproles/their 4th WR.

Wondering if Reggie and DeSean might do it. Unless I should keep Reggie over Turner?

His WRs: Fitz, Cruz, Jordy, Maclin, DeMaryius Thomas.

Yeah I don't see his angle there at all. And you should keep Reggie over Turner, I'm convinced that Turner's workload is going to decrease every week, and IINM (I made that up just now, see how it flies) Daniel Thomas just got hurt in Miami, which should only increase Reggie's workload.

In my PPR league, ol Reg just put up a solid 15 points because Tannehill is just the worst QB in the NFL who doesn't play for the Buffalo Bills (HAHAHHAHAHAHA! (SCREW) YOU, BILLS FANS! HAHAHAHA!!!!! FRED JACKSON! HAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!), so he's kinda just tossing Reggie the ball as often as not.

Keep Reggie. If he stays healthy, he should easily eclipse Turner's decreasing numbers.

PPR Keeper league:

Should I try to do the following trade:

Victor Cruz, Michael Crabtree for Larry Fitzgerald and Wes Welker

Cruz is a keeper for me (he'll only cost a 7th rounder to keep next year), and I was thinking about letting him go for Fitz only, but then Welker had his craptastic day while Cruz and Crabtree produced, and beyond that, had the targets to warrant keeping them around.
heck no i see lloyd and hernandez having more catches then welker this year

So I'm 0 for the thread so far, but I'm thinking while Welker's numbers might dip this season he's still going to be looking at about 100 receptions this season. And Larry Fitzgerald is going to get his numbers w/ any QB.

I feel like they're the safer bet here.

Ppr league just got offered Reggie Wayne for Demarco Murray.

My initial reaction is no. I like ny team and think its top 3 in my league. Im weak at WR and the guy offering is weak at RB but stacked at receiver (Wayne is on his bench). I don't have much of a bench anyway but I just don't trust Wayne either staying healthy or producing like a top receiver. Im thinking of staying the course for now.

Thoughts?

I'd keep Wilson on board. I think you're pulling the plug on him too early, when you can just as easily jettison Santana Moss.

I can see why you'd be worried, but your biggest issue is that Jennings just didn't perform. That's not gonna be a problem every week, and sooner or later Ryan Matthews is gonna win you some games. Just give it a week or 3.

My second WR starter would either be R Moss or Randall Cobb. Fairly risky id say but I think Murray could be a monster.

Since my bench is pretty weak positions aren't as important. Either Murray or Wayne would be slotted in that RB/WR spot so it comes down to who will get more fantasy points

If you're okay moving Murray (and I would be trying to, I don't think he's gonna stay healthy), You move him for wayyyyy more than Reggie Wayne.

Without seeing your roster, I'd look to acquire both Reggie Bush and Beast Mode, or maybe Bush and Cruz.

He's throwing Wayne at you because he had a huge week (esp in PPR leagues) but he also knows its not sustainable. Don't fall for it.

Yeah I got Murray at a good price because of injury risk. There's no way id be able to snag that much for him at this point though. No ones that high on him in my league mainly because of injury concerns.

In general if im winning I try not to make a move just to make one. I won week 1 against the team I thought was the best on paper and for me id like to wrap up a few more wins or if they happen to be losses then I can look for a move.

I agree.  Wilson has way more upside than Santana Moss.  I also think you might be able to find a more consistent WR than James Jones.  I mean see if one of the rookies is out there, Stephen Hill, Alshon Jeffrey, etc.  Alfred Morris is also available in a lot of leagues.

Here is my question.  I have been offered Adrian Peterson and Mark Ingram for Trent Richardson and Shonn Greene (Ingram is obviously just a throw in).  We start 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 W/R

I have 3 excellent WR's - Marshall, Austin, and Lloyd and my top RB is Foster.  I also have Ben-Jarvis Green-Ellis and Randall Cobb (and then some flyers like David Wilson). 

So the question is, is Peterson enough of an upgrade on Richardson and Greene for me to hurt the depth.  If I make the trade I am taking a huge gamble on Peterson's health and as bye weeks start coming I will need the depth.

Yeah man I don't see where your downside is. You've still got the lawfirm. Where is the uncertainty? AP putting up enough points to help you win the league is about as likely odds as Richardson having a healthy productive rookie year. And Ingram I think is an upgrade over Greene, not a downgrade. Shonne Green is on my 'no fly' list.

Shonne Green is on my 'no fly' list.
The uncertainty in my mind is Peterson is coming off of ACL and MCL surgery which was like 9 months ago.  I would be putting an awful lot on that knee, which is my hesitation.  For all of Richardson's struggles against the Eagles he was the only Cleveland RB to get a carry, so he is clearly the man (of course the Browns are awful so that probably limits Richardson's TD potential a great deal).  I don't believe Greene is near the no fly zone type guy that you do.  He had a pretty solid game and had virtually all of the carries (aside from when Tebow was out there).

I was leaning towards doing the trade before posting, but was just looking for some feedback to make sure I was leaning correctly.  It appears that I am.

I think it's probably the best team in the league. On the bench I think Witten and Beanie Wells are unnecessary, and your QBs are huge huge risks. Either one is a legitimate risk to go down with a career ending, or season ending injury in every offensive series.

But it's hard for me in 8 team leagues. Risks I'd take in larger leagues aren't necessary here. The natural urge to search desperately for nooks and crannies of production, or taking a flier on longshot, it's not a priority.

Your QB's are question marks (though both are more than capable of huge numbers) and your WR2 is definitely a bit weak given it is an 8 team league, but you can probably figure it out with what you have.  You are also relying a lot on Denver (peyton, thomas, decker) who has a horrid schedule so you may have some concern there.  Witten is probably a top 5 TE if he is healthy, so you can probably move him to try an upgrade.

Stafford
Colsten
Harvin
Welker
BJGE
McCoy
Pettigrew

Matt Bryant
NE

with
Matthews (Inj)
Jennings (Inj)
David Wilson
James Jones
Big Ben
Meachem

Hopefully Welker beats his 3 rec for 14 yards this week, I think he should.

Stafford
Jennings
Welker
Harvin
Mccoy
Matthews
Pettigrew/Bennet, not sure which

If I lose this week and go 0-3 I think my season is done.  I was pretty sure I had a beast mode team coming out of the draft, but stafford has Killed me so far, Big Ben has out performed him the first two weeks on my bench.

So somebody tell me i'll be ok, im nervous over here

So Right now im 0-2  Lost by 10 points this past week, 2 out of my top 4 picks didnt play (Jennings, Matthews) and my other two top 4 picks underperformed by a combined 8 points (mccoy, stafford).

This week I should have all of my players back and have a full starting lineup for the first time

Stafford
Jennings
Welker
Harvin
Mccoy
Matthews
Pettigrew/Bennet, not sure which

With Jennings and Matthews you should be okay. Start Bennett over Pettigrew.

I'm also 0-2 - lost a close match the first week cause I kept Spiller on my bench.  This week I had Spiller starting but I decided to get cute and start the Raiders D against Miami instead of the Steelers D against the Jets.  Oops.  Another close L.

I'm 2-0 in my leauge and I figured it was time to do some trades.

This is my 2-0 team.

QB:  Rg3
RB1: Marshawn Lynch
RB2: Reggie Bush
WR1: Reggie Wayne
WR2: Calvin Johnson
TE:  Antion Gates
W/R: Matt Forte
DEF: Pats


Bench is
Luck
Shonn Greene
Pierre Garcon
Antonio Brown
Kyle Rudolph
Brandon Lloyd

Although you may think my team is good I believe it can be better. Don't ask me why but I don't like Marshawn Lynch and never did. I mean I love him as a player and to watch him but not on my fantasy team.

I have just made a crazy amount of trades for one.

Marshawn Lynch, Reggie Wayne, Lions DEF, Antnio Gates
For
CJ Spiller and Wes Welker

#My reason for this trade is for one i dont trust marshawn Lynch like i said before.

#Antonio gates is highly ineffictive at this point and I have a future trade i want to get done for Gronk

#Imma miss Reggie but I can pick up Brandon Lafell still

#And I just needed to get rid of Lions D for Pats

# Wes Welker WILL BOUNCE BACK now hernandez is gone and Lloyd continues to drop deep balls watch!

So what you guys think about this?
---------------------------------------------------------
Now for my other trade for Firtgerad will probaly get declined. I looked at the guys leauge and he is 0-2 and has larry starting. So I traded Antonio Brown for fitzgerald. Brown has been more productive then Larry at this point so we will see.

Now my last trade is for Gronk. This guy is also 0-2 and has no reliable RB, kicker, or WR. So right now my trade to him is Shonn Greene, Kyle Rudolph and Jutin Tucker (kicker). I figured if he say no ill throw in Brandon llyod then he has to say yes what yall think? All the players in my trade are complete upgrades in his league btw.

they're the best on the waiver wire. Other guys who are available in other leagues (Brandon Lafell for instance, Ramses Barden) aren't available in mine. 16 teams, 3 WR slots and 3 bench spots. Its tough to get a mid-week add on the waiver.

Barden isn't available, and I thought about Randle, but I want to wait until he catches a pass.

Rondo, Bennett is a must-start unless you've got one of Gronk, Vernon Davis, Graham, or maybe Tony Gonzalez.

Without Nicks and Hixon sitting, Bennett is still the 5th best PPR TE in the league right now. He'll level off, but he's a must start until he does.

Same with Pitta.

Gronk is the #2 TE in the league, and with Hernandez out long term, he's the #1 TE. The only decent option in that trade package is Rudolph, so..well if he accepts it, you should ask him if he'll trade you a quarter for two nickels.

Leshoure's already snapped up and this is a pretty casual league where trades are really uncommon.  I've put out a few feelers but I think most owners log in once for midweek waiver pickups and once to set lineups, so a last minute trade isn't likely.

Calvin Johnson for - Marshawn Lynch, Percy Harvin, And Seahawks
Idk if he say no I dont care much for this trade.


My other trade is:
Gronk and A.J green for - Matt Ryan and Alfred Morris
At the moment his starting QB is Romo

My Last trade is
Andre Johnson and Wes Welker for Matt Ryan and Lynch

My RBs are Spiller, Sproles, Charles, Kevin Smith, and I just picked up Andre Brown. 

Spiller's a must-start and Sproles seems like one too.  Which RB should get my flex spot?  Leaning toward Brown, he did well last week and Carolina's run D seems crappy.

Turns out the correct answer was Jamaal Charles.  But Brown gave me more than enough to win with him - I'd've even won with Smith as it turns out.


Did anybody win/lose their week on that last play of the Packers game?  My friend won not because of the TD, but because the meaningless extra point caused his opponents' D to drop 3 points.

well I did another draft and here is my team (see attachment). I love to trade thats just what I need a WR...here are a few trade scenarios I put together.

Calvin Johnson for - Marshawn Lynch, Percy Harvin, And Seahawks
Idk if he say no I dont care much for this trade.


My other trade is:
Gronk and A.J green for - Matt Ryan and Alfred Morris
At the moment his starting QB is Romo

My Last trade is
Andre Johnson and Wes Welker for Matt Ryan and Lynch

What you guys think are my trades fair?

The first one's probably too much for just Johnson.

2nd one would be a huge win for you.

3rd one is pretty even, and depends on the scoring system and who they're replacing in each lineup.

Then I would seek out to trade harvin. I just love trading =D

2 trades I'm considering offering:

Nuts and bolts: Keeper league, where keepers cost the round previous to the round the guy was taken last season (If you took Doug Martin in the 3rd this year, he costs a 2nd next), and the league is full point PPR

1) Matt Forte, Jon Baldwin for Brandon Lafell, Fred Jackson
-Baldwin I've been stashing as a keeper, and he'd cost me a 10th next year. I still think he's gonna blow up, and his targets have gone up more every week.Lafell would be a great keeper as well though, and his role is already cemented

2) Jaquizz Rodgers (costs me a 4th next yr), Jon Baldwin for Chris Johnson

I've got both Reggie Bush and Matt Forte, but despite injuries, both guys look like they're gonna play this week, and certainly next. I don't want to make a panic move, but I am getting ancy.

I have the Law Firm sitting on my bench.  Do you think it is worth the gamble of trading him for Chris Johnson?  Obviously I know what I am going to get with the Law Firm, but CJ's upside potential is much higher (though so is his down-side).  Again this would essentially be for a bye week sub or injury replacement so CJ's down-side risk isn't a weekly thing.

2-1, 2nd most points.  My starters are Foster and Richardson (I have Lloyd, Marshall, and Austin at WR, one of them flexing it).  Rest of my bench aside from Law Firm is a bit shaky with Daniel Thomas, Shonne Greene, and David Wilson.  I have no WR's on the bench at the moment (do have a TE and QB though, ha).  Probably should keep Law Firm when I actually look at it, as I will need some consistency in the coming weeks when the byes start coming.  Also, probably should go find a WR and drop Wilson.

Bush is always hurt so I signed Thomas and dropped Cobb just before the games last week.  I wasn't ready to give up on Wilson yet, but with Bradshaw coming back and Brown being a monster last week, I just cut bait.  I added Kendall Wright who seems to have a nice chemistry with Locker and already has 14 catches as a rookie, so not bad in a PPR league.

McCoy is obvious.  I actually think Williams will be very strong throughout the year, but I have no idea any of the matchups this week or what Arizona's RB rotation will look like i.e. will Williams be the third down back or the goal line back.  Leshoure is on a passing team and I'm not sure he is a great pass catcher, so he may be limited especially if Stafford plays this week (which it appears he will).  Cincinnati doesn't like to run the ball in the red zone, so Law Firm is always a question as to if he will score, but he should get carries and a few receptions.  Matthews is seemingly the man in San Diego and seems healthy so I would probably go with him this week, but frankly any one of the last four could have a big game (again depending on matchups).

Oh I would start Forte over Bush, but his question was who is more likely to score a TD and that I believe Bush is the answer.  Forte should get way more carries, receptions, and thus yards.  I can't see him getting you 30 points though.  That is a ton.

Yeah, I had Crabtree, Reggie Bush, Vernon Davis, and Percy Harvin all under-perform, and my opponent started Peyton Manning, Steven Ridley, and the SD Defense.

I had banner performances from Cam newton and Victor Cruz, but I'm still 30 points shy.

2 trades I'm considering.  2 RB's, 2 WR's, 1 W/R flex and you get .5 per catch

My team
RB - Arian Foster, Trent Richardson, Alfred Morris, Doug Martin, and Ryan Williams
WR - Dwyane Bowe, Danny Amendola, Demaryius Thomas, Denarius Moore

2 trades being considered
Richardson and Morris for Ray Rice and Lance Ball (filler)

Morris and Martin for Andre Johnson and Donald Brown


I think I'm leaning towards doing the first trade as Rice and Foster would be a monster 1/2 combo and Richardson and Morris do have the same bye. I'd also still have Martin and Williams for bye weeks or flex along with one of the other WR's.  That said I can certainly see the merit in adding Andre Johnson as my WR's are much less consistent than my RB's and I would keep Richardson as my #2 RB.

That's where I was leaning.  That guy has Ray Rice, Reggie Bush, and a bunch of crap (some injuries, some unexpected changes, etc.) so it actually is a pretty fair trade all around and will help us both.

I was actually lucky I lost the first week and didn't have very many points so I was able to sign Alfred Morris out of waivers the first week and then I got lucky that Beanie got hurt so early and will miss essentially the season.  Just had all the luck early this year in the RB department and trying to capitalize on that depth by upgrading.

My office league I have been offered Gronkowski and I would trade Alfred Morris and possibly Heath Miller.  My starting TE is Jason Witten.  Morris is my flex player.  I would move either Doug Martin or Denarius Moore to replace Morris in the starting lineup.  I can only start 1 TE, so is Gronk a big enough increase on Witten to make up for the loss from Morris to Moore or Martin.  I'm leaning towards no, but was curious as to others thoughts.

Fortunately, that kicker was Shayne Graham so I squeaked it out.  3-2 and in playoff contention.  But man, I like fantasy basketball so much better - a lot less volatility in the numbers.

My office league I have been offered Gronkowski and I would trade Alfred Morris and possibly Heath Miller.  My starting TE is Jason Witten.  Morris is my flex player.  I would move either Doug Martin or Denarius Moore to replace Morris in the starting lineup.  I can only start 1 TE, so is Gronk a big enough increase on Witten to make up for the loss from Morris to Moore or Martin.  I'm leaning towards no, but was curious as to others thoughts.

Do it. Do it now.

I've got a trade on the table I'm inclined to refuse, but don't know if its the right move. PPR keeper league, with the keeper costs attached for next season.

I trade: Victor Cruz (7th rd keeper), Matt Forte (1st rd keeper)
He trade: Ray Rice (1st rd keeper) DHB (5th rd keeper)

hell no I cant trust ray rice much only because they are knocking down his snaps. Don't get me wrong he do what he has to do with his snaps but you can tell they are limiting him and it is very annoying. Cruz is doing his thing right now and DHB (raiders WR?) is meant for the wavier wire lol

Also his remaining WRs are Dez Bryant, Malcomb Floyd, and Kerley.

I'm thinking about a counter with Floyd in place of DHB, but even then, I don't know if its worth it. I'd have to eat both bye weeks for the RBs, and my RB SITUATION is Reggie Bush, Forte, Mike Bush, Quizz Rodgers, and Javid Best.

I'm the current points leader, I'm not sure it's a great move even with Floyd.

That's my inclination too, and with Nicks in and out, plus the probability tht the Giants aren't going to have the lead to sit their starters during the playoffs..yeah, declining.

Yeah, don't do it.  I don't think the gap between Rice and Forte makes up for the gap in wide receivers.  Plus, Cruz is a significantly more valuable keeper.

I'd actually do that trade depending on what my other WR's looked like (i.e. can you take the hit on Cruz and still be ok).  Ray Rice is a big upgrade over the injury prone Forte and the rest of your RB's have various question marks i.e. Reggie injury prone, and the other three all backups or injury prone.  You could really use a RB that is basically good for 90% of the snaps every single week, something none of your backs are good for.  And yeah the Ravens are throwing more this year, but Rice is getting a lot of those (only Sproles has more receptions as a RB) and is still getting a bunch of handoffs.  In a PPR league Rice is money with 23 catches for 190 yards and he still is getting solid rushing yards and TD's.  Much safer and better option than Forte.

I must say that imma beast of a trader lol I tradded for arian foster lol...the guy reallly had nothing just arian foster and a QB so i traded him

AP, Malcolm Flyod, and Mikel Lieshore for Foster and Hernandez

FYI this was about 2 weeks ago when Hernandez was hurt and everyone I had was performing well...but with that being said he was able to start everyone I traded. And im number 1 in 8/10 leagues.

I'm 8-2 and tied for top spot. Division rival (also 8-2) has Cutler and Big Ben. He wants Luck, I also have Matt Ryan. He's asking for Luck. Offered Cruz (I have Nelson, Harvin, D. Moore, White and James Jones). He has Jimmy Graham. I have Owen Daniels. Is it a good idea to ask for Jimmy Graham for Luck? Or stay put.

Def don't stay put.  If you can trade a bench player for someone you would start you do it.

Luck + Daniels for Graham + Cruz seems pretty fair.

I have a flex question for this week in a 0.5 per catch league.

My options for the flex spot are

K. Moreno
D. McFadden (if he goes)
V. Ballard
D. Williams
D. Bowe
K. Britt
D. Moore

Moreno, McFadden, and Moore are all in the Thursday night game so if I don't go with one of them I'm left with more limited choices on Sunday.

I am leaning towards Moreno, but I already have Manning and D. Thomas starting from the Broncos, so that is a lot of one team action out there and I have concerns about doing that.  Plus Moreno wasn't exactly lights out last week though did have 20+ carries for the second straight week.

Thoughts?

I have 2 rb slots(no flex)

I have foster, ridley, Lynch, Murray and Bradshaw. It is not ppr league.

I've penciled in Foster but who else? Im tempted to pick up Bryce browncould and plug him in. Is that crazy?

Your only real options in my mind are Bradshaw and Lynch.  Both of them will get consistent carries, the goal line carries, and both are playing absolutely terrible rush defenses. My gut says Bradshaw but you really can't go wrong with Lynch (who had a pretty solid game the first time against Arizona).

Brown could work, but McCoy may be back this week so you have to be careful there and he does keep fumbling the ball.  He might start losing carries if he can't control that.

Ridley and Murray are on teams that are too inconsistent to be relied upon given your other options, so I would probably stay away from them when the others are healthy.  Plus Ridley is going against Houston which is one of the best defenses in the league (and against Baltimore and Seattle he did almost nothing).

I guess I'd lean toward Moreno.  My fantasy team relies highly on the Broncos, as well (I start Manning, Thomas, Broncos D, and sometimes Decker, and have Moreno on my bench).  It's served me well thus far.

I'm in a super-Quarter friendly league, where I've LITERALLY played the wrong quarterback every week except twice.  To a fairly marginal sum.

I know what your'e saying, he's probably exaggerating. Here's our season

Week 13:

Started: Stafford (32)
Benched: Luck (52)

Week 12:

Started: Luck (4)
Benched: Stafford (32

Week 11:

Started: Stafford (15)
Benched: Luck (30)

Week 10:

Started: Luck (14)
Benched: Stafford (37)

Week 9:

Started: Stafford (13)
Benched: Luck (42)

Week 8:

Started: Luck (20)
Benched: Stafford (48)

Week 7:

Started: Luck (16)
Benched: Stafford (17) STILL COUNTS!

Week 6:

Started: Luck (9)
Benched: Stafford (30)

Week 5:

Started: Dalton (2)
Benched: Luck (39)

Week 4:

Started: Stafford (24)
Benched: Luck (20)

Week 3:

Started: Stafford (20)
Benched: Luck (40)

Week 2:

Started: Stafford (4)
Benched: Luck (14)

Week 1:

Started: Stafford (20)
Benched: Luck (15)



Have tried every method - logic, flipping a coin, asking advice, going with whatever ESPN says, doing the Costanza (the opposite), asking my sister who has 0 knowledge of football to pick one.

So..... thoughts?

Luck vs. Titans
Stafford @ Green Bay

My two questions for the week:

I can start 2 of the following

Green-Ellis @ Philadelphia
Garcon @ Cleveland (RG3 questionable)
Lloyd v. San Fran
Austin v. Pittsburgh

I am leaning towards Schaub, Green-Ellis, and Garcon, but am certainly struggling with the picks.

Yeah, I feel your pain. Neither Schaub nor Palmer give me the warm fuzzies. Schaub, maybe?

I'm going with LawFirm myself in my PPR league. What's Dez Bryant's situation? If he's out, maybe Austin gets more targets. I think that Pitt-Dallas game will see some scoring. Banking on Lloyd to repeat his MNF performance seems a stretch, he's probably my least confident choice there.

I can start two of these at RB, and a third at flex. Not a PPR league.

Demarco Murray (vs. Pitt)
Darren Sproles (vs. TB)
Michael Turner (vs. NYG)
Vick Ballard (@ Houston)

I can also start Greg Jennings at flex over one of the above.

Right now, I'm leaning to Murray and Sproles, but completely undecided on the flex slot.

I think Cruz and Floyd are clear starts.  I'd probably go with Jones, they seem to have a more consistent passing attack and he is a more consistent WR, though DHB probably does have higher end potential.
