Vikings.

PPR:
Jordy Nelson vs. Cincy
or
Anquan Boldin vs Indy

I'm leaning Boldin since I'm not sure a speedster like Nelson is going to be able to break out against Cincy's coverage schemes (though Randall Cobb and James Jones could be in for bigger weeks underneath).

Love when ESPN updates points as late as Tuesday and takes a guy from 7 to 0...though his stat page shows that he played and posted the initial stats. So my W goes to a L and they wait until AFTER waivers to make these changes so I got stuck with a worse waiver order.

Damn it ESPN, get your shit together.

9/18/2013 10:40:06 AM

^^I would go with Boldin too, but Nelson probably has the higher ceiling.

^Who was that for?

9/18/2013 10:59:24 AM

It was an IDP, so probably wasn't seen by a ton of leagues, thus I'm guessing ESPN won't fix the scoring. Might just have the LM update it back to original points.

9/18/2013 11:21:16 AM

Never thought I'd ever have 3 TEs (Julius Thomas, Brandon Myers, Coby Fleener) in rotation with the TE & flex spot. Guess it goes to show you how injuries(Roddy, MJD)/dearth of RB depth on waivers can affect what you can put into the flex. This is my 16-team PPR league though.

Quote :

"Colts TE Dwayne Allen needs season-ending hip surgery and is done for the season. One of the game's best young all-around tight ends, the loss of Allen will ripple through the Colts offense. Offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton will be forced to use fewer two tight end formations, meaning more chances for emerging stud T.Y. Hilton. Allen's absence will also be good news for the statistical production of talented move tight end Coby Fleener. With Allen sidelined in Week 2, Fleener posted a 4/69/1 line on eight targets. Allen's second NFL season ends with just one catch for a 20-yard touchdown. "

9/18/2013 12:51:25 PM

^yeah, pick up Fleener if you can

Just noticed that my team in the 12-team PPR league is pretty loaded and I'm having trouble deciding who to put in flex spots (start QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, TE, RB/WR, TE/WR):

QB: RG3, Eli
WR: Colston, Nicks, Torrey Smith, Shorts, Edelman, Hopkins
RB: Forte, Bush, Murray, Powell
TE: Cameron, Eifert
K: Dawson
DEF: Patriots

Kind of tempted to start offering trades to upgrade some positions. Having 6 capable WRs is driving me nuts trying to play matchups.

[Edited on September 18, 2013 at 1:01 PM. Reason : ]

9/18/2013 12:57:24 PM

Think you have to go Colston Hopkins Edelman


1rb, 1 flex
Starks, Murray, Reggie Wayne, Bowe.

Only reason I'm hesitant about Starks is because of the Bengles D

9/18/2013 1:55:22 PM

Murray & Bowe

9/18/2013 1:58:20 PM

You can't sit Wayne. He's guaranteed to get 5 catches a game at the least and SF will run the score up on Indy pretty quick.

Wayne and Murray

9/18/2013 2:08:18 PM

Yeah that's why I'm struggling between Wayne and bowe. Allen is out for Indy increasing Wayne's targets and Philly D looked pretty bad last week (Bowe)

[Edited on September 18, 2013 at 2:27 PM. Reason : .]

9/18/2013 2:25:16 PM

Philly D is bad but I can't sit Wayne for Bowe

[Edited on September 18, 2013 at 2:34 PM. Reason : plus playing against Andy Reid will be weird]

9/18/2013 2:33:44 PM

Yeah I have Wayne in a few leagues and he's driving me crazy. Want to start him but in one league it's him or Garcon, in another league it's him or D. Jackson.

Still not sure why Luck is projected 20 in one of my leagues, just can't imagine him hitting that unless he puts up 2-3 garbage TDs. Could be why they're projecting a decent game for Wayne too.

9/18/2013 3:16:50 PM

Just picked up Vikings D for this week. Playing the browns with the third string qb playing.

9/18/2013 3:54:00 PM

9/18/2013 4:11:43 PM

help me out my brethren

Pick my RB and W/R/T flex this week (0.5ppr):
Lamar Miller vs. Atl
David Wilson @ Carolina
Brandon Myers @ Car
Eddie Royal @ Ten
DeAndre Hopkins @ Balt
Brian Hartlina vs. Atl

Pick my QB:
Tom Brady vs. TB
RGIII vs. Detroit

Pick my RB:
David Wilson @ Car (I know he is gonna have a breakout week, and it will probably be vs. the panthers)
Knowshon Moreno vs. Oakland

9/18/2013 4:46:45 PM

Quote :

"in another league it's him or D. Jackson."

D Jax should be started in every league from here on out.


I like Hopkins a lot this week. I'm starting him no matter what. Lamar Miller I guess as your RB. Carolina's good against the run.

RGIII

Moreno

I can't trust anything Wilson does right now. If he fumbles again, Coughlin will bench him in a heartbeat.

9/18/2013 4:59:45 PM

I just picked up James Starks who is projected to have another good week. Here's my tough decision to make:

RB's - McFadden, Lynch, Starks, Moreno, Williams, Mendenhall
WR's - AJ Green, Cobb, Boldin
TE's - Witten, Olsen

Need to pick 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, and a flex.

9/18/2013 7:22:32 PM

oh shit trent richardson to the browns is huge for me. suddenly he has people to block for him.

9/18/2013 7:28:41 PM

Stash Willis McGahee if you have roster space. He'll be a feature back in Cleveland, who else is going to run the ball. He'll be a good flex option/bye week fill in.

9/18/2013 8:07:52 PM

should I be looking to drop Kenny Britt now...

I could pick up Andre Roberts

9/18/2013 9:29:58 PM

^ I dropped him. I don't see how his public comments about getting the "jared cook" treatment are going to go over well.



Should I stick with Jordan Cameron this week with Brian Hoyer as his QB, the return of Josh Gordon, and no Trent Richardson?

or pick up Coby Fleener?


(I have Gronk who should be coming back in a couple weeks on my bench)

9/18/2013 9:50:40 PM

I picked up Fleener tonite. Curious to see how an actual running game opens up TE.

9/18/2013 10:14:00 PM

So I really want to pick Fleener up but I've already got Owen Daniels and Brandon Myers. Out of those two, who would you drop for Fleener, or would you drop either one?

Wish I could just drop Donald Brown for him but I've got to get a QB for Rogers in week 4 and Bradford is available (even though he's going up against SF).

9/18/2013 10:51:52 PM

DeAngelo Williams vs NYG
Garcon vs DET

Who should I take in my flex spot this week?

9/19/2013 12:25:22 PM

Snagging that Vikings D is looking better and better now

9/19/2013 12:49:03 PM

Standard League, who should I start at RB alongside Gore;

Trent Richardson vs. SF
Bilal Powell vs. Buf.
Fred Jackson vs. NYJ

Also, what about WR:

Michael Floyd vs. NO
Andre Roberts vs. NO
Golden Tate vs. Jax (was leaning here b/c of the matchup, but he hasn't done anything so far)

9/19/2013 12:51:38 PM

Quote :

"DeAngelo Williams vs NYG Garcon vs DET Who should I take in my flex spot this week?"

Williams is the safe, consistent pick, but Garcon has the higher ceiling, espcially going against what should be a weak Lions' pass D (they didn't look bad against Arizona though).

^Jackson and Roberts.

Ok I'm going to try one more time.

9/19/2013 12:55:24 PM

^ I think both of your TEs are better than Fleener.



Was offered this trade in a standard non-ppr league with no flex position.

I give:
Matthew Stafford
Reggie Bush
Le'Veon Bell

I get:
Cam Newton
Steven Jackson
Giovanni Bernard

thoughts?

9/19/2013 1:28:03 PM

So, Richardson should be sat this week. right?

9/19/2013 1:29:47 PM

^^Would Newton be your starter? I would rather have Bush than Jackson (but neither will play 16 games, obviously), but I think Benard is a better fantasy back than Bell. So for me it would come down to my QB situation.

^Depends on your other backs, but I can't see him doing much @SF after just being traded. Depends on how much they use him in the passing game.

9/19/2013 1:35:26 PM

Do I pick up both Richardson's replacement and McGahee?

Also, I picked up Glennon (its a two qb league) and already have a trade offer for him lol.

9/19/2013 2:29:02 PM

Vick tonight against KC or Stafford Sunday against Washington. Everything I have seen has them with almost identical projected points, but Vick killed it last week and KC has had a short week to prepare. That said, Washington's pass D has been getting torched.

I cant decide...

9/19/2013 4:15:47 PM

^ Stafford

9/19/2013 4:20:43 PM

Father-in-law offered me this trade in a standard, non-ppr league that starts 2 rb, 2 wr, and 1 flex.

I give:
David Wilson
Mike Wallace

I get:
Demariuyus Thomas


My current RBs are :Trent Richardson, Darren McFadden, Wilson, Le'Veon Bell, and Willis McGahee

My current WRs are : Calvin Johnson, James Jones, Wallace, and Chris Givens

thoughts?

9/19/2013 4:28:00 PM

KC's defense has been remarkably good this year. They're very, very fast and might be one of the tougher opponents for the Eagle's style of play. I'd probably go with Stafford.

Now, that said, I am starting Vick over Newton in one of my league's this week, which really is more of a comment on the Panthers than it is anything else.

9/19/2013 4:28:10 PM

^^I personally like that trade, but also think its fair

9/19/2013 4:32:25 PM

^I agree that it's a fair offer, I am just worried about my RB depth

9/19/2013 4:43:09 PM

I'd run Trent, D-Mac and McGahee at flex until D-Mac gets injured or Bell gets healthy

But I've always been pretty down on Wilson anyway

9/19/2013 4:47:16 PM

You're RB situation is pretty rough, I don't like any of those guys. Richardson faces a string of tough defenses coming up, McFadden is going to get injured like he always does, Wilson is looking squarely at a time share situation, McGahee is a huge questions mark in terms of football readiness... oh and he's going to be on the worst offensive team in football, and Bell may not be back until October... or he might play next week.

I'd definitely take Thomas and hope that Richardson gets some goal line ops and Bell comes back sooner than later. Looks to me like you'll be seeing a lot of McFadden/James Jones flex play.

9/19/2013 5:03:14 PM

FLEX
J. Cameron @Min

OR

B. Pierce vs.Hou

Would be a no brainer for Cameron - except for injuries to Weeden and Rice...
still on the fence though, as Min allows plenty of yardage/scores for TEs...

[Edited on September 19, 2013 at 5:54 PM. Reason : flex]

9/19/2013 5:54:12 PM

kc defense probably has about 309 points tonite

9/19/2013 9:53:10 PM

4 sacks, 2 INTs, 2 fumble recoveries, 6 pts. allowed, 1 def TD. Yeah, they're doing pretty well.

9/19/2013 9:57:17 PM

Down to my wife by 23 points (Jamal Charles), not off to a good start this week.

I figured in the end I would have 2 good WR, and could always hope that McGahee or Bell turned out to be a flex option, so I countered with James Jones and Wilson for Thomas and it was accepted.

9/20/2013 4:39:19 PM

^ Good night you are loaded at RB. Lynch is obvious. Out of the rest I guess I would go McFadden, but I like Moreno too. I don't like Starks this week because it's still the Packers.

AJ and Cobb is obvious

Witten until the Panthers figure out how to score. Flex I'd go with Moreno.

Stout team man.

So are any other Gronk owners going to roll the dice and play him this week?

9/20/2013 5:30:35 PM

^^I'd go with (same as ^):
RBs Lynch, Moreno
WRs Green, Cobb
TE Witten
FLEX I'd say McFadden

- I don't like McFadden against Denver's D
- Williams is inconsistent and if Newton can't get the passing game together, he'll get stuffed
- Moreno's playing Oakland which is pretty porous, but surprisingly has a decent D Line
- I have Starks on 2 teams and won't play him until he proves that he should start over a healthy Eddie Lacy (probably won't happen, but might be a sell-high waiver pickup)






As for my weekend, I'm wondering who I should put at FLEX:
For FLEX: Giovanni Bernard (currently starting, but up in the air), MJD (he's hurt), Mike Williams, James Starks, Harry Douglas, and Andre Ellington

Everything else is set (RBs J-Mail, Ridley... I'm thinking I'll give him another try, WRs Colston & Nicks, and TE Jordan Cameron)

9/20/2013 6:56:48 PM

^Is your league PPR?

Absolutely no on MJD, injured and @Seattle. Think you're looking at Bernard or Starks. If Lacy doesn't play this week, I'd go Starks, otherwise I'd roll Bernard.

Bernard had a big week last week, but didn't get a ton of touches, I tend to lean towards who will get the most touches.

9/20/2013 8:18:48 PM

^Standard ESPN scoring... I'm leaning a little towards Bernard for 2 reasons:
- He's starting to prove himself more and more and is liable to keep stealing touches from BJGE
- I'm not sure how I like Stark playing against an underrated Cincy D, especially compared to Bernard playing against Green Bay's D.

It's still pretty early in the season to really judge a defense, but that's just what I'm thinking.

9/21/2013 1:46:35 AM

Assuming Reggie Bush is out this week, who do you guys think I should play at RB2? 0.5 PPR

Lamar Miller (vs ATL) or Bilal Powell (vs BUF)?
