Fantasy Football Think Tank III

[Negativ]

Brady owner already said he'd go 1 for 1. Hopefully he still feels that way.

Foster owner probably won't do it. He has Ray Rice, Foster, and Murray. Thinking I might go like Calvin for Murray if he rejects. Nandez owner is depleted at RB. The AP trade is a prayer. Morris ~= Ridley. I don't see either of them being all that successful but I think it's an upgrade.

[dbthorp]

Is deangelo Williams a bad start if Stewart is playing?

Forte fked me

[PDBDLE]

What moves would you guys consider making to this team?

QB- E Manning
RB-McCoy, Charles, M Bush, Ridley, Benson, Sproles
WR- Bryant, Cruz, Harvin, Decker, Robinson
TE- Gronkowski
K- Tucker
D/ST Houston

NFL Standard Scoring No PPR QB/2 RB/2 WR/TE/K/DST

[Farley1324]

Yeah one of the most toxic people in my BML had Forte as a Keeper and refused to trade her #3 WR to the Bush owner (My best friend and Co-comissioner)

Ended up insulting him hard core talking about how she dared him to keep Bush. And so he did... And so she called him a dumbass at the draft etc...

Then she went after F-Jax HARD (Paid $98 on a $500 cap) but let someone else grab spiller for $6.

*She's always been a big advocate of how you don't need to draft your handcuffs.

You can only imagine and bullshiz she's spewing on the league message board as I type this!

lulz

That's gold.

And a great opportunity for somebody with mediocre but starting RBs on the bench to swoop in and use her to upgrade another position

I would try to consolidate some of that RB talent. You have great depth, but assuming you only start 2 of those RB...or maybe 3 if there is a flex spot...I'd want a second stud, or near-stud, to go behind McCoy. All six of those guys have value, as long as you are in a league with enough teams (12? 10 at least?) you should be able to get people interested in some of them. Especially Fred Jackson or Matt Forte owners, or anybody else who goes down this weekend.

I assume that by bush you mean Reggie?

[cellshot]

Maclin vs BAL vs B. Lloyd vs ARI in PPR this week?

Asked in the sit/start thread, but seeing as this thread gets more traffic, wanted to get more opinions.

Sorry thats Michael Bush*** And it's a 10 man league, QB/2 RB/2 WR/TE/FLEX/K/DST

I'm thinking of trying to get Brandon Marshall from a guy with Doug Martin, Reggie Bush and Deangelo Williams as his RB roster how would you structure that deal

Those aren't bad RBs he has, but Williams hasn't played yet coming off his pre season sprain and Carolina's rushing was turrible last week. I'd take one of your bench RB and try to trade him straight up after the terribly terrible Bear performance last night.

[RomBrah]

What are the chances of me getting this trade through, he's only got steven jackson and donald brown as rbs with fred jackson down and no backups. He has Calvin, Miles, Holmes, and Cobb for receivers

My:
Kevin Smith
Hakeem Nicks

His:
Julio Jones

Maclin vs BAL vs B. Lloyd vs ARI in PPR this week?
Asked in the sit/start thread, but seeing as this thread gets more traffic, wanted to get more opinions.

I have B Lloyd in 1 league and am already using him as trade bait for pretty much anything I think he'll be one of the more frustrating FF options this year with a couple big 150 2td type games and a bunch of 37 yard type performances

Anyways I'd start Maclin even though hes playing against my team (ravens) I'd say 4 rec 70 yards 1 TD for him this week (the only one philly gets)

Agreed.. I'd offer him Sproles for Marshall if he bites I couldn't be happier if not I'll move on in pursuit of another WR..

What do you think of:

McCoy + Bryant for Rice + D. Thomas?

I like it. Bryant is just too inconsistent and still doesn't seem to have pulled his head from his ass

I don't think the other guy will bite, probably, though. Unless he has a fetish for one of the guys you are offering, or something

[Yeahbudday]

Losing forte is really going to **** me.... now im forced to start donald brown next week. Big mistake taking Wilson over Bush

[Yeahbudday]

Should I bench Dwyer for Mathews if he plays? (PPR)

Also play Amendola (vs skins), or Antonio Brown (Jets/Revis)?

Brown definitely... Revis will likely be covering wallace, if revis even plays for that matter

[Farley1324]

Losing forte is really going to **** me.... now im forced to start donald brown next week. Big mistake taking Wilson over Bush

You took Wilson over Michael Bush?

Yeah, that was a mistake. Bush has proven himself in the league, came into the season healthy, got all kinds of snaps while Forte was holding out, and had no noticeable negatives associated with him (age, injuries, rookie status, etc)

[MooseLaddin]

damn really surprised you'd take Wilson (a handcuff to Bradshaw) over Bush (your Forte's handcuff). But we all goof, **** I goofed bad taking CJ0K in two leagues. I still believe CJ is in great shape, maybe the best ever, however he is mentally challenged. Tries to hit home run every carry, and defenses are locking that down and have been for a year now. Unless his mentality changes he's not going to be more than a flex sadly.

Looks like average fantasy noobs are getting clued in on Ridley being a stud, and CJ0K never bouncing back, had my CJ0K for his Ridley rejected and the comment say he values Ridley way over CJ0K.

Trying hard to peddle CJ0K before he does nothing again this sunday.

We do.

I won't even tell you the mistake I made during the draft of my #1 league. Talk about making the wrong fukking decision. Took me all of 10 seconds to realize how bad it was. Or so I thought. Then the season started and it looked even more retarded.

I bought into the Wilson hype during the offseason

Yeah that would be true if all my other positions weren't golden like Pony Boy.

Her QB's are way over priced... In order for me to upgrade to her $130 Brees, I'd have to drop Megatron, Gerhart and Big Ben.

I could send her Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams for Steve Smith... But that just hurts my RB corp, while my WR corp is already:
Megatron, Wallace, B.Lloyd, DSJax, Cobb & Amendola

[biggquis]

Thinking of dropping Hillis for Kendall Hunter. I have a gut feeling Gore won't last more than another couple weeks. What do you guys think? No, I don't have anyone else I can drop for him. Other backs are Ridley, Murray, and McCoy. Hillis will never play anyway except for a bye week. We're only allowed to roster 4 RBs

[Devil-spawn]

antonio brown/mike wallace owners:

Darrelle Revis (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Revis was cleared to run around with teammates during some 11-on-11 drills at Friday's practice, but he hasn't gotten the go-ahead to face contact and will not make the trip to the Steel City. With Dustin Keller (hamstring) also inactive, the Jets will be shorthanded for Sunday's game. Look for Antonio Cromartie to work mostly against Mike Wallace while Antonio Brown matches up with some combination of Kyle Wilson and Ellis Lankster. Brown's matchup went from the toughest in the league to perhaps one of the most favorable.

I do think Hunter is worth rostering in some formats. In my 12 team league with 2RB + 1 flex I have him sitting on the bench. Gore is getting old, after all, and Hunter looks to be the next guy up....and San Fran runs the ball aplenty.

You have roster restrictions? Really? I don't think I've ever played in a league that had those. I always let people roster whoever and however many they want. You want to hoard 7 RBs? Go for it!

Given your restrictions and roster I think I'd hold Hillis and hope Hunter sits there unless/until something changes that makes Hunter more immediately appealing. When Gore is healthy [Gore] should be the go to guy, I think.

Rather have Hillis. Hillis should get 40% of the work; Week 1 was an aberration due to Quintorris Lopez playing God.

Even if Gore goes down, I'm not sure Hunter gets most of the work. There is still Jacobs and LaMichael James.

[urdaddyishere]

would you start Jermaine Gresham or Colby Fleener if you had to pick between the two TE's?


Leaning toward Fleener due to 10 targets on the opener, but Gresham has owned the Browns in the past.

[Negativ]

I'd start Fleener. I'm between Fleener and Tamme this week. Still deciding. (PPR)

[SnakePlissken81]

QB Tony Romo
RB Matt Forte
RB Frank Gore,
RB/WR Willis Macghee
WR Larry Fitzgerald
WR Victor Cruz
TE Aaron Hernandez
D/ST Cowboys D/ST D/ST
K Justin Tucker,
HC Broncos Coach HC

Bench Eric Decker, Den WR
Bench Titus Young, Det WR
Bench Ben Tate, Hou RB
Bench Sidney Rice, Sea WR Q
Bench Lance Moore, NO WR
Bench Carson Palmer, Oak QB
Bench Jacquizz Rodgers, Atl RB

What improvements can I make to this team? Matt Forte just went down. Idk what to do now. He was my star.

Hunter would surely get majority of the work. Brandon Jacobs is not as good as Hunter, and James is a young buck.

Other backs are Ridley, Murray, and McCoy. Hillis will never play anyway except for a bye week. We're only allowed to roster 4 RBs

Hunter is only going to get snaps if Gore hurts himself. Hillis actually has a shot of legit splitting carries down the middle or taking the role job, just through playing. Keep Hillis.

We do.

I won't even tell you the mistake I made during the draft of my #1 league. Talk about making the wrong fukking decision. Took me all of 10 seconds to realize how bad it was. Or so I thought. Then the season started and it looked even more retarded.
