Fantasy Football Think Tank IV

[squirrell751]

12k reps

My main QB is Roethlisberger and he has a bye.

Back up QB is Alex Smith, @NYJ, 12 points projected.

Available on waivers are

Locker, @Hou, 17 projected
Shaun Hill, Min, 14 projected
Sanchez, SF, 14 projected

Should I look pick up any of them or just stick with Alex Smith? I'm 1-2 so I NEED to win

Also who should I start at FLEX?
Dennis Pitta, Cle, 10 projected
Brian Hartline, @Ari, 11 projected

I would trust Alex Smith, the thing about Alex is that he hardly ever turns the ball over only downside is low passing yards and Frank Gore to bring in the TDs. Locker might have had a good game last week, but Houston defense is not a joke. It's tough with Shaun Hill right now as there's not much information out about Stafford aside from the fact he has a pull thigh glute and hamstring I Think.

Dennis Pitta without a doubt, he's been getting a lot of targets as of late. Arizona defense is looking good so I wouldn't trust Hartline just yet.

[JFizzle23]

Is Hawkins on waivers?

Nah...seriously no one. J.Kerley of the Jets but he's just a lucky big player WR that I would never trust enough to play. After him there's a huge dropoff. I was just thinking though, that Giants WR that had a huge game, Braden, he's free. Think I might risk his 1 good game and pick him up.

Two options at QB IMO.

Staying with Alex seems like a good play to me. Mainly because Revis is dead, that completely changes the Jets defense. They already had a weak pass rush before the injury, now they can't send the house knowing Revis will be back there.

Other option is Shaun Hill. I actually like him when I watch him play, and he has always stepped in admirably when called upon. Only question is I'm not sure how the Vikings defense has looked this year so I would check with someone else.

And Pitta... I wouldn't feel comfortable with any Miami player besides Bush yet... Especially when Patrick Peterson will probably be guarding him.

Yeah I would go that route before another TE. I was going to point out him as well but I couldn't remember his name. Only other one that could be worth a stash is Hartline.

[chevy72blu]

Just offered Mike Bush and Hawkins for Demaryius Thomas (Forte owner). He is a tard who rarely watches the games but it somehow the only team in my league who is 3-0... and he autodrafted.

Also put a claim (11) in for the Cards, dropping Bills. Doubt I'll get them, but who knows.

[wickedman]

yeah I'm debating flipping Julio for a WR/RB package. One guy did offer me Dez and Ridley but I declined it. Told him unless he gave up Reggie Wayne I wouldn't even entertain the trade. Even then Ridley is a bad return on Julio.

The guy with Harvin has CJ0K and FJax so he's hurting at RB, but I'm trying to keep up with what's going on with jackson.

Yeah that Dez and Ridley trade can't be done, especially after this week. Maybe before, but it's clear that the Patriots will still **** over anyone if it fits in their "game plan". And the Cowboys look like **** on offense. I would be hesitant even with Wayne in there.

If you could get FJax and Harvin I would do it. With Spiller showing he still is a tiny dude who can get banged up, and FJax saying he probably will play this week... Even if it takes one more week still worth it. Maybe even throw in some scrub bench RB on your side to make it seem even.

Should I trade my Marques Colston and Leshoure for his Hakeem Nicks? Fair trade?

Reps

If you dont need Leshoure than you definitely win, but I think Colston will bounce back in a big way. Still rather have Nicks.

[BornAChampion]

Do I go trade one of my 3 WRs to go after after a top-tier TE or RB?

Roster is

Stafford
AJ Green
Roddy White
Dwayne Bowe
Mikel LeShoure
Fred Jackson
Brandon Pettigrew

Bench

WR: Kenny Britt
RB: Shonn Greene
RB: Andre Brown
RB: Alfred Morris
RB: Steven Jackson

I got Kenny Britt on my bench so I'll put him in once I trade one of my WRs. Who do I go after?

[PermaBulk42]

is DHB droppable in a 12 team league? considering Cobb as well

(aiming to grab Ryan Williams and/or Powell)

I have Bradshaw, Doug Martin, Leshoure, Richardson and Hillis

Do it. Now.

[chevy72blu]

6k reps to anyone who helps me out with some roster moves. 2-1 but I feel like my team is kind of stagnant and there is potential to consolidate.

12 team .5 PPR


Already offered the forte owner Bush and Hawkins for DMT, but I doubt he'll accept.

[dbthorp]

Julio and Ogletree(or d williams) for Martin and BJGE?

these are his rbs
Jamaal Charles, KC RB
Doug Martin, TB RB
BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Cin RB
Fred Jackson, Buf RB
C.J. Spiller, Buf RB
Ryan Williams, Ari RB
Alfred Morris, Wsh RB
Mikel Leshoure, Det RB

My other WR are dez, malcom floyd, and lafell. Is it too big of a loss?
My RBs are Rice, Forte, Greene, Deangelo Williams

DO NOT do it man. You are taking a huge hit at WR.

and HOLY RB's BATMAN!

Try Lafell and D Williams for BJGE or even leshoure.......you know what, pretty much anyone on that list lol

[DLab7]

Is it safe to drop Justin Blackmon and Isaac Redman for some waiver pickups at this point?

[RomBrah]

Which running back to pick up off waivers.
Stewart? possibly injure prone.
Ryan Williams? Beanie Wells with turf toe could be out for a while.

Running backs are Ray Rice, LeShoure, Spiller, Bush, Brown

[cap10raygun]

I would do this trade but you'll probably get varying opinions on this.

The Rams run blocking hasn't been too great this year and Jackson already has injuries popping up, who knows if he'll aggravate them.

The Lions clearly want Leshore to be the guy. Considering the opponent he only had an okay week, but if he does he can do it, they will give him all the carries, at least until maybe Best comes back if he does.

Tate, well it's nice to know if Foster ever gets hurt you have a built in top ten RB safety valve.

Thanks. Sjax hasnt really been doing much for me so far. I really want to trade him as well as get my Foster handcuff but I'm just not sure if Leshoure is a good investment in the long run. Anyone else have any input on this?

[dbthorp]

DO NOT do it man. You are taking a huge hit at WR.

and HOLY RB's BATMAN!

yeaaaa, I know. I keep hoping Dez will get more points. Just tough starting williams as my rb2. This guy is stacked at rb, but his WR are:
Calvin Johnson, Det WR
Demaryius Thomas, Den WR
Marques Colston, NO WR

[Xnightwing]

Wondering if Peyton Hillis is droppable? I mean Jamaal seems to have found his groove.

[PermaBulk42]

Which 2 players would you drop to add Ryan Williams and Arizona D...

Randall Cobb
Brian Hartline
Darius Heyward-bay

Cobb and heyward. Hartline is their offense with Reggie being limbo

That guy going to win your league ha.

I would try and flip Dez for Martin. He's not going to take your garbage for his starters. But you need to hold onto Julio, without him you don't have any sure studs at WR. Dez still has name value.

[wickedman]

Andd if you don't trade you need to look for Ryan Williams or Powell on waivers. Start Williams, wait and see on Powell.

haha we will see. he is 1-2, I am 2-1. he declined a dez for bjge before, he is only interested in julio.


offering another guy rivers (I start rg3) and greene for benson and alex smith, we'll see

[cudder]

two different scenarios; current rbs are: mccoy, mathews, martin, lynch

trade mccoy for gronk/colston
or
trade mccoy for graham/cj0k
?

[alex9090]

What should I do about Ahmad Bradshaw and Andre Brown this week?

Looks like bradshaw will be back and they will be sharing carries

[wickedman]

haha we will see. he is 1-2, I am 2-1. he declined a dez for bjge before, he is only interested in julio.

Damn he must set horrible line ups or getting incredibly unlucky in his matchups.

No, don't give him Julio. Your record was actually going to be my next question. If you can hold out with a decent record until Forte comes back you are fine. Trading Julio for a bandaid isn't the move, you'll be dicked in the long run, once Forte comes back.

That guy is hurting himself not packaging all that talent for upgrades, can tell him Julio isn't going anywhere unless it's a top 10 back minimum.

If you are solid at wr Graham, otherwise Gronk. Graham is the better TE this year.
