Fantasy Football Think Tank IV

[clorox_me]

I put in a bid today for Daniel Thomas... Reggie Bush is just too fragile and Thomas had glints of potential last year.

i had daniel thomas but dropped him for morris or brown.

[dbthorp]

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.

thanks, hes been unlucky so far ha

Need a little trade help, this is my 10 man non-ppr, standard league.

I'm looking to upgrade at TE, this was proposed to me

Give Scott Chandler, Mikel Leshoure
Receive Tony Gonzalez, Mark Ingram

Here is my current team:

QB: Matt Ryan
RB: Jamaal Charles
RB: Doug Martin
WR: Julio
WR: Steve Smith (Car)
Flex: LeShoure
TE: Jared Cook

Bench:
CJ0k
Sjax
Antonio Brown
Torrey Smith
Scott Chandler
Hillis
Kevin Smith

You think it's worth hit to upgrade at TE for that? My only issue is that would invest me pretty heavily into ATL, which they've looked great through 3 weeks but any bad week from them as a group would hurt me.

[JFizzle23]

Who wins this trade?

Team A trades: also has Rice & Murray at RB
Vick
AP
Michael Bush

Team B trades: also has Brees & no other legit #2 RB besides Forte ( Brandon Jacobs, J-Stew & Andre Brown )
Big Ben
Benson
Julio Jones

My team is very thin at defense and tight end. What do you guys think about these waiver moves? Do I have the defenses and the tight ends valued correctly?

Conditionally drop Jared Cook, Ten TE to Waivers
Conditionally add Dennis Pitta, Bal TE from Waivers to Bench

Waiver Priority: 2
Conditionally drop Jared Cook, Ten TE to Waivers

I think it's fine since you are deep at RB. Pretty equal value wise. Only thing that might give me pause is if it substantially improved his team (like he was starting two terrible RB and stacked everywhere else), but it's pretty early on in the season to be worrying about that scenario. I'd go with it, Tony looks good this year.

I'm assuming no Bennet, Rudolph or Pita on waivers?

[RAMBO316]

I don't know... Tampa's D is playing crazy good right now, while NE can't stop the pass at all.... I think I'd start tampa...

This also begs the question "Why in the sweet hell are you hording 3 defenses?"

oh no im sorry... the other 2 defenses are on free agents.... we start 2 defenses and i have baltimore and new england.

[RAMBO316]

Cinci @ Jax
Tampa vs Wash
NE @ Buff ( currently own )

dunno if i should stick with new england or pick up one of the others

Yep looks good, Pitta vs Rudolph is preference at this point. Pitta looks better because of the targets (I'm assuming here based on what I've seen so the numbers may differ) and Rudolph because of the red zone targets.

[mooseknuckles]

SF def against the Jets, or Arizona against St Louis?

Yea, all those guys were scooped off waivers already. I put in a trade proposal to the guy who has bennet, offered him CJ0k for Bennet... he has Gronk already. You think if I do the Tony G. trade, that I'd be too invested in ATL offense?

[Daywa1ker]

In early on this bish...think I can get a decent rb or wr for a package of spiller/fjax? I'm hurting bad, my rb's are Foster/Forte/Fjax/Spiller/Tate/Dwyer...only 1 of which is worthy of starting right now, unless I want to play Foster and Tate together lol

[dbthorp]

any of these I could/should target for dez?

Michael Turner
Michael Bush
Andre Brown
Willis McGahee
Donald Brown
David Wilson
Jonathan Stewart

[MooseLaddin]

Cinci @ Jax
Tampa vs Wash
NE @ Buff

which do I start? Currently have NE vs BUFF

Cincy i like. last year @ BUF, BUF lit up pats D granted they are much improved now, would feel safer with Cincy

Buy low on Aaron Rodgers, lol.

definitely, still doubt people sell him low. But again his offensive line looks HORRIBLE. So he might not bounce all the way back to last year status but still obvious elite QB1

Who would you rather have in a 1 pt PPR league?

Julio Jones or Percy Harvin

Julio still

I put in a bid today for Daniel Thomas... Reggie Bush is just too fragile and Thomas had glints of potential last year.

good guy to put small bid on or a waiver in for (if you have a low waiver). Unlike Lamar Miller, Thomas knows the playbook and will be in at the goal-line should Bush get hurt again (like he has most of his career).

Should I do this trade. I give up Steven Jackson for Ben Tate and Mikel Leshoure. I have Foster as well so I've been trying to get Tate for a while. Is Leshoure a good investment?

I'd probably do it, you don't really win value but you might LeShoure if he holds up will hold similar value to S-Jax if not more, then you have your cuff in Tate.

I'm up in the air on him or Lamar Miller. I personally think Miller has more potential but Dolphins management has such a hard on for Thomas

Thomas > Lamar due to Lamar not knowing all the plays or assignments. feelsbadman, love Lamar cane diehard here

In.

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

Reps

pretty fair, rather have Nicks.

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

Depends who's on the waiver wire, Hillis was fringe roster worthy all along, he's shot and now hurt.

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

Randall Cobb
Brian Hartline
Darius Heyward-bay

Cobb and Hartline. DHB will be out a couple weeks but when back he's better than both for sure IMO.

[GN0L]

My flex spot week 4...

LaFell vs. Atl
or
Hawkins vs. Jax

[mandimeoutof10]

any of these I could/should target for dez?

Michael Turner
Michael Bush
Andre Brown
Willis McGahee
Donald Brown
David Wilson
Jonathan Stewart

Ya bro, almost all of them would be an exceptional trade for dez, who is a marginal wideout at best. Romo likes Austin and Ogletree more anyways. However, do you need a RB or a WR?

[Daywa1ker]

Michael Turner
Michael Bush

Willis McGahee

Once forte's back you could maybe get Bush...maaaayyyybe McGahee too. Turner/Andre are too high right now, Donald/Stewart/Wilson I would stay away from.

[MURedHawk235]

alfre morris + palmer for graham?

The guy has romo and helu as his RB 2

what about morris, palmer + tamme

[sharpshooterz98]

Somewhat, I have rice, forte, williams and greene. I have ogletree too. I think I wait for forte to get back and see if dez has gotten any better, maybe get bush

martin and leshoure

[sharpshooterz98]

martin and leshoure

kind of what I figured (hence the order they're in)

but wasn't sure about Torrey Smith since they're playing the Browns. CJ0K has basically costs me two weeks (two week in a row I lose by ~5 pts), never again.

[TeamDestruction]

Flex:
Ryan Williams MIA
Jon Stewart @ATL
Brandon Lafell @ATL
Anquan Boldin CLE

Non-PPR 1 pt for every 25 yds 6 pts for TD

[meyer23]

just submitted this trade to a guy who likes cj0k and randall cobb so we'll see if he bites

i give: cj0k, randall cobb, pettigrew, Brandon Lloyd

I get: pitta, mikel leshoure, stevie johnson, jerome simpson

[foyt20]

News on Bradshaw is that he plays this week (may only be a couple touches to see how he feels, but everytime someone says that I get screwed, ex. see "Adrian Peterson Week One") and forte is extremely questionable. Is it still worth it to play Andre Brown?

Also, is Cruz going to be double covered again, or are people feeling a big game off of him?

And DeSean Jackson, any thoughts?

yeah i know haha, but we'll see if he bites just to get his players

random question who's better to pick up andrew hawkins or brandon lafell?

NON PPR

random question who's better to pick up andrew hawkins or brandon lafell?

NON PPR

i really like hawkins...he's already proved he can open up room for aj green and can still make some big plays
