Was up 37 (I sucked this week with only 73 pts) going into last nights game.

Opponent had:
Alfred Morris
Pierre Garcon
Fred Davis
Andre Johnson
Randy Bullock

I lost 74-73 on the last second 41 yd (1 yard from a tie) fg by Bullock

1-0 and 0-1 in my 2 leagues. What's everybody's opinion on Joqiue Bell going forward? I have him in my 12 team (non PPR) league but didn't start him week 1. Obviously I know not to expect 20+ points out of him each week, but is he a solid option at flex or was week 1 a fluke? Or maybe I'd be better off trying to trade him now...

[Edited on September 10, 2013 at 8:43 AM. Reason : h]

9/10/2013 8:42:57 AM

J. Bell is going to be a decent flex play in PPR, not much in standard leagues.

But remember, if R. Bush does go down, J. Bell will be a very valuable player. Not sure I'd trade him right now unless you could get a fairly solid player in return.

9/10/2013 8:56:36 AM

Thanks to DeSean Jackson, I made a comeback and won in 1 of my leagues.

Thanks to McCoy, RG III, and Texans D, I made a HUGE comeback in my other league, but still lost by 3 pts.

All in all, I'm pretty optimistic about both of my teams this year.

9/10/2013 9:03:22 AM

I'm completely lost about who to to start at my RB or flex positions, pick two RB and one W/R/T flex:

CJ Spiller vs. Carolina
David Wilson vs. Denver
Lamar Miller @ Indy
LeVeon Bell (if he comes back) @ Cincy
Deandre Hopkins vs. Tenn
Kenbrell Thompkins vs. NYJ
Brian Hartline @ NE

also, pick one: Tom Brady vs. NYJ or RGIII @ GB

Quote :

"The MRI on Dez Bryant's left foot indicated a mild foot sprain and the Cowboys expect him to play Week 2. Advice: The Cowboys have averted disaster as their top wideout has avoided a serious mid-foot sprain or Lisfranc issue. Bryant is unlikely to get in many practice reps this week, but we've seen him gut it out at less than 100 percent effectively before. Owners that are still worried can protect themselves a little by adding rookie backup Terrance Williams as a handcuff. The Cowboys face Brandon Flowers and the Chiefs on the road Sunday."

9/10/2013 9:30:31 AM

Brady
RB1 Spiller
RB2 Wilson, at least he gets full share of work
Flex Hopkins

[Edited on September 10, 2013 at 9:38 AM. Reason : wilson over miller]

9/10/2013 9:37:04 AM

If PPR:

QB: Brady
RB1: Spiller
RB2: Wilson
WR: Hartline

Of those 4 RBs, those 2 are the most talented and have the highest upside.
If it's not PPR, could see you going Hopkins, but Hartline got a ton of looks week 1 and think he's Tannehill's safety net.

9/10/2013 9:40:54 AM

Was offered David Wilson/Carson Palmer for Darren McFadden/ Big Ben. Standard league, non-ppr.

Current rbs are Trent Richardson, Ahmad Bradshaw, leveon bell, Chris ivory, and McFadden. Thoughts?

My QB is Romo.

9/10/2013 9:57:30 AM

eh, doesn't seem to do much for either team IMO

you move your backup QB for a backup QB, and wilson/DMC are both your RB2. if anything, I take DMC over wilson anyway, so it might be a step back for you

what am i not seeing here

9/10/2013 10:15:36 AM

I like Palmer over Roethlisberger, especially given the Steeler's offensive troubles going forward. Wilson and run DMC are a wash long term, but I like McFadden better short term.

9/10/2013 10:23:33 AM

^and ^^ Basically I don't know if I trust McFadden. Was thinking about countering for Ridley instead of Wilson?

[Edited on September 10, 2013 at 10:24 AM. Reason : .]

9/10/2013 10:24:23 AM

So I kinda hate my team right now. 14 team keeper league where you can keep 0-4 players and give up your first 0-4 picks in the draft for each keeper. Non-PPR.

We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR/TE, K, DST

here's my team:
QBs
Russell Wilson
Sam Bradford

RBs
Alfred Morris
Mark Ingram
Ben Tate
Le'veon Bell

WR/TEs
Calvin Johnson
Jermichael Finley
Percy Harvin
Emmanuel Sanders
Markus Wheaton

DST
Packers
Colts

K
David Akers

I am # 1 in Waiver priority (for my first move, obviously), and the following guys are available:
Knowshon Moreno, Julius Thomas, Julian Edelman, Andre Roberts, Leonard Hankerson

I figure people will be putting in claims for at least Moreno, Thomas, and Edelman so I will likely only end up with one of them. My RBs are piss-poor, but I think Thomas will have value all season while Moreno will probably just be the next handful of games before Ball starts taking over.

So should I use my priority to pick up Moreno or Thomas? I'm leaning toward Thomas for longer term value and am crossing my fingers that Le'veon Bell turns into something. I'm looking at dropping Sanders, Wheaton, a defense, and probably Ingram if I can pick up any of the free agents I listed.

9/10/2013 12:54:47 PM

I actually went 2-5 in week one. Thought I lost, but actually won by .26 pts

9/10/2013 2:31:41 PM

^^ I would probably pop the waiver on Moreno.. Fox and Manning are both averse to change, I think the job will be Moreno's barring injury. The fact that Ball only saw the field when the game was well outta reach was a bad sign imo.

Thomas would be nice in this format but RB2 is your biggest need. I don't know why Moreno is still available in a league this deep but I think that he is a better option than hoping for Bell to produce or Foster to get hurt.

9/10/2013 3:01:45 PM

yeah i'm torn between thomas and moreno. even with moreno being the lead guy right now, i don't know if i'd start him over tate. even without an injury to foster, tate is producing with the carries he's given and it seems like houston is really trying to dial back foster's load.

tate had 6.1 YPC in week 1 and got the same number of carries as moreno even with the texans trailing all game. moreno would definitely be a good pickup, i'm just wondering if julius thomas is a potential stud. manning loves throwing to tight ends, especially in the red zone, and it seems like thomas could be the next dallas clark.

would i be crazy to pass on moreno in favor of thomas? i'm just worried about the possibility of moreno putting up 30-40 yard performances while thomas gets more TDs and yards. manning has always been one to like the quick passes at the goal line more than handing it off.

9/10/2013 4:46:40 PM

Is either Chris Givens or Chris Ivory droppable for Edelman this week?

9/10/2013 8:29:38 PM

^who are your other RB?

[Edited on September 10, 2013 at 9:18 PM. Reason : V ah yes, it's a column in the standings duh (thx)]

9/10/2013 9:13:24 PM

^ isn't it on the standings page?

9/10/2013 9:15:48 PM

I've got top waiver priority, would dropping Kenny Britt for Edelman be a good move?

9/10/2013 10:23:34 PM

^It's not a bad idea. Edelman should keep seeing tons of targets till Gronk comes back (and probably after too). Amendola is most likely out Thurs. Isn't there anyone worse than Britt you can drop? He has so much talent but he is so frustrating. I'd say do it.

Question for the DST Streamers:

Denver was dropped last week for some unknown reason. So....

Denver vs NYG
or
Baltimore vs Cle

Other league is thin on the wire:

Dallas vs KC
Detroit vs Ari
Oakland vs Jax
Eagles vs SD
New Orleans vs TB

I'm not sure why so many people are high on Dallas this week, KC's offense looks like it can put up some points and I think Alex Smith takes care of the ball pretty well. Also, I can't believe I'm considering using Oak D.

[Edited on September 10, 2013 at 10:35 PM. Reason : V No need to carry a backup QB or TE]

9/10/2013 10:29:43 PM

^my bench is:

Bradshaw
Ivory
Thompkins
Britt
M.Bennett
Rivers


i've got DAL lined up for my second waiver claim, dropping ARI

i would say BAL, NYG have a decent offense

[Edited on September 10, 2013 at 10:35 PM. Reason : ]

9/10/2013 10:33:09 PM

should I drop Lamar Miller for Fred Jackson(non ppr)?

I have 1st waiver priority and other available players include Julian Thomas. My tight end is Jimmy Graham. I'm not usually a fan of multiple tight ends (this league uses a rb/wr position, not a rb/wr/te). My receivers are great, but my rb depth isn't as good.

Ugh fuck the dolphins

[Edited on September 10, 2013 at 11:16 PM. Reason : I'm tempted to pick up Thomas just to keep him off anybody else's team]

9/10/2013 11:05:30 PM

on that advice, i dropped Bennett for Edelman. now I see that Edelman (NYJ) is projected for 11.01 points this week, while Bowe (DAL) has 9.43... does that seem legit to you guys? Bowes not the best WR1 in the league, but he's still a WR1 while Edelman is WR2 or WR3 depending on Amendola. But Brady is a gajillion times the QB Smith is, so....

9/11/2013 6:59:45 AM

amendola is prob not playing this week since its a Thursday game. I would go edelman over bowe all day long.

9/11/2013 8:51:35 AM

^Exactly. For this week, if Amendola is indeed out, Edelman is likely a WR1 in PPR. Brady doesn't seem to trust his new guys as much(outside of Amendola). So I could see him feeding Edelman the entire game.

9/11/2013 8:57:20 AM

Wow. Well that's awesome. Thx

9/11/2013 9:40:28 AM

Hartline is the truth this year. Good pick up. The pressure Mike Wallace is taking off of him is going to make him blow up.

9/11/2013 9:49:40 AM

If Amendola is out

Cecil Shorts against Oakland
or
Golden Tate against San Fran
or
Jerome Simpson against DA bears

9/12/2013 12:17:36 AM

ouch.

Shorts, I guess?

9/12/2013 12:23:23 AM

Yeah thats what I was thinking

Eddie Royal is on Waivers...thought about him??

9/12/2013 12:28:42 AM

Shane Vereen already on the IR

shit

9/12/2013 1:22:30 AM

PPR, who should I sit (pick one)

Julian Edelman
Anquan Boldin
Jordy Nelson
Desean Jackson
Dez Bryant

I'm leaning Boldin...

9/12/2013 1:37:48 AM

TWW, pick my flex:

Anquan Boldin
Lance Moore
Montee Ball
BiLOL Powell

9/12/2013 11:11:25 AM

QB - Stafford or R. Wilson?

RB - S. Ridley or D. Williams?

FLEX (Pick 2) - S. Rice, O. Daniels, V. Cruz, V. Brown, M. Brown?

9/12/2013 11:17:46 AM

Stafford, Ridley, Cruz..

9/12/2013 12:20:19 PM

Pick 1

Ryan Matthews vs. PHI, Ben Tate vs. TEN, Knowshon Moreno vs. NYG, Fred Jackson vs CAR

9/12/2013 12:38:17 PM

^I'd probably go with Mathews, as much as it pains me to say that. I'd consider Tate as well.

Should I drop Fred Davis or Issac Redman for Isiah Pead? (This is a 16-team PPR league)

My RBs: Trent Richardson, MJD, Pierce, Redman
TEs: Julius Thomas, Brandon Myers, Fred Davis
WR: Colston, Torrey Smith, Roddy White

Logic says drop the 3rd TE (Davis) even though I can technically start two TEs with one as a flex, but Redman was pretty shitty last week. This week, I'm probably going to start both Myers and Thomas because Roddy White has been poop with his high ankle sprain. Just wondering if I should take a flier on Pead.

[Edited on September 12, 2013 at 12:44 PM. Reason : ]

9/12/2013 12:41:48 PM

tate

i don't know if i would drop either of those guys for pead. as shitty as redman has been, at least he's the starter for now. pead MIGHT be the #2 guy in St Louis, but he hasn't really performed well at all in the NFL. i would probably keep davis so you won't be so thin at WR/TE because high ankle sprains are a bitch.

Need to fill the following roster Spots in a PPR league:

-WR
-RB
-FLEX
-FLEX

Options:
RB: Alfred Morris @ GB, Eddie Lacy @ WAS, DeAngelo Williams @ BUF
WR: Dez Bryant @ KC, Vincent Jackson vs NO, Eric Decker @ NYG, MIles Austin @ KC

[Edited on September 12, 2013 at 1:19 PM. Reason : .]

Morris, Williams, Bryant, Jackson.

9/12/2013 1:20:08 PM

^^ Morris no doubt. Coin flip on Lacy versus Williams. I'd actually lean Lacy, but that's gut opinion


I need help with QB. Laugh all you want, but my options are Ben @ CIN or Cam @ BUF

9/12/2013 1:37:32 PM

gotta go with Cam

pick my QB this week:

Tom Brady vs. NYJ
RGIII @ GB

9/12/2013 2:26:11 PM

my reasoning behind Ben was that shittyass Jay torched the Bengals...and last week Ben had about 10 passes dropped.

^ Brady all day. don't second guess yourself

9/12/2013 2:41:01 PM

Since it didnt get answered

With Amendola out:

Golden Tate vs San Fran
Cecil Shorts vs Oakland
Jerome Simpson vs chicago

or pickup Eddie Royal off Free Agency against Philly

9/12/2013 6:03:59 PM

I would go with either Simpson or Royal. I try to stick with #1 receivers whenever possible.

Speaking of receivers, which one should I sit:
Antonio Brown
Boldin
Colston
Roddy white

[Edited on September 12, 2013 at 6:23 PM. Reason : PPR]

9/12/2013 6:22:17 PM

I figure I'll channel my inner Panthro for a little bit

Quote :

"PPR, who should I sit (pick one) Julian Edelman Anquan Boldin Jordy Nelson Desean Jackson Dez Bryant I'm leaning Boldin..."

Boldin is going against Seattle's secondary so I'd probably sit him. Unless Dez's injury is bad. I know it was Jacksonville, but KC's defense is pretty solid. I'd play a healthy Dez but if he isn't healthy, I'd consider playing Boldin over him

Quote :

"TWW, pick my flex: Anquan Boldin Lance Moore Montee Ball BiLOL Powell"

I'd play Boldin, unless you want to watch Powell tonight. Ball might have a good future this season but so far Denver is playing 3 backs with equal touches. And you never know what who Brees is gonna throw to.

Quote :

"QB - Stafford or R. Wilson? RB - S. Ridley or D. Williams? FLEX (Pick 2) - S. Rice, O. Daniels, V. Cruz, V. Brown, M. Brown?"

I'd roll with Stafford against the Cards. I like Lynch to have a big game (3 straight 100-yard rushing games vs SF) and Seattle not to rely on the pass as much as Detroit will

Ridley should get a good workload with Vereen out, but I like Williams this week versus Buffalo as well. Flip a coin unless you want to watch one of your players play tonight

And for your 2 flex players, definitely Cruz for one. I'd probably go with Daniels for the other. Schaub seems to like him in the redzone.

Quote :

"Pick 1 Ryan Matthews vs. PHI, Ben Tate vs. TEN, Knowshon Moreno vs. NYG, Fred Jackson vs CAR"

I'd probably roll with Tate myself. Don't trust any of the 3 Denver backs yet, Panthers run defense looks pretty good, and, as a Matthews owner, I'm not sold on him yet this year. He's staying on my bench.

Quote :

"PPR league Kenbrell Thompkins vs. Jets Steve Smith @ Bills"

I'd definitely play Smith. Unless you just want someone to cheer for tonight.

Quote :

"Daryl Richardson Jared Cook Ryan Mathews Which one do I play for my FLEX."

I'd go with D-Rich.

Quote :

"Need to fill the following roster Spots in a PPR league: -WR -RB -FLEX -FLEX Options: RB: Alfred Morris @ GB, Eddie Lacy @ WAS, DeAngelo Williams @ BUF WR: Dez Bryant @ KC, Vincent Jackson vs NO, Eric Decker @ NYG, MIles Austin @ KC"

Morris, Dez (if healthy), Decker and DeAngelo. If Dez is too banged up, probably Lacy as the other flex

Quote :

"Ben @ CIN or Cam @ BUF"

Play the top-5 fantasy QB against a pretty mediocre defense as opposed to Ben at a stout Cincy D

Quote :

"Tom Brady vs. NYJ RGIII @ GB"

Despite playing kinda bad last week, you gotta go with Brady. Plus the Skins only showed read option ONCE last week. If they're trying to keep RG3 healthy by making him a pocket passer, its easier for defenses to stop him. Play Handsome Tom.

Quote :

"With Amendola out: Golden Tate vs San Fran Cecil Shorts vs Oakland Jerome Simpson vs chicago or pickup Eddie Royal off Free Agency against Philly"

Of the three you currently have, I like Shorts. Tate is fighting for balls with Rice and Baldwin, and I think Royal and Simpson's numbers last week were a bit of a fluke

Quote :

"Speaking of receivers, which one should I sit: Antonio Brown Boldin Colston Roddy white [Edited on September 12, 2013 at 6:23 PM. Reason : PPR]"

Even though it was the first WR you drafted, at least of these 4, I'd have to sit Roddy until his ankle looks better.

Quote :

"I would go with either Simpson or Royal. I try to stick with #1 receivers whenever possible."

Neither Simpson nor Royal are #1 receivers, Jennings and Jackson are. Shorts, however, is a #1 receiver

[Edited on September 12, 2013 at 6:27 PM. Reason : .]

9/12/2013 6:24:42 PM

I am thinking of sitting White as well.

Simpson may not be a #1, but I think Royal is getting the most looks and seems to be the #1 in SD.
