Felix Jones, Jonathan Stewart, or Ben Tate? 12/12/2011 1:52:19 PM

Not trying to be a homer, but Felix is the only one not sharing time and MJD just destroyed the Bucs D. (Yes, I know Felix is far from MJD) 12/12/2011 2:07:10 PM

Drop Matt Forte & Frank Gore for Andre Johnson & Ben Tate??? Tight rosters and it doesn't look like Forte is coming back. Gore looks done too, at least until playoffs. Looks like he'll get minimal work and share reps with Hunter rest of way. Both AJ and Tate are available and look to have some favorable matchups ahead (that is, if Johnson comes back as well). 12/12/2011 4:46:01 PM

Simple.
Cam Newton is playing above expectations.
Gronkowski and Hernandez were suppose to split duties at TE with Hernandez predicted to be the better of the two at the beginning of the season. 12/12/2011 6:57:34 PM

I think i am the only person in the world who fist-pumped at that last minute sack of Bradford by the Seahawks D! Went from losing by 0.2 to winning and going to fantasy super bowl! gotta love dumb fantasy sports wins! 12/12/2011 11:42:19 PM

Cam and Gronk weren't drafted in my 8 team league. Cam wasn't drafted in my 12 team league. Newton was supposed to be caveman dumb and terrible.
I foolishly picked up Hernandez in the 8 team league, and someone else got Gronk the same week. He got the better of that bet. 12/12/2011 11:49:16 PM

Newton wasn't drafted in either of my 10 team leagues and was taken in the last round of my 12 team league (and dropped prior to week 1 lol). Gronkowski was drafted in the 12th round of my 12 team league, 12th round of a 10 team league, and 7th round of another 10 league. 12/12/2011 11:59:16 PM

Shouldve figured with my luck at RB this year (Jamaal Charles and Fred Jackson out for year) that somebody else would go down just in time for playoffs. God dammit Demarco Murray 12/13/2011 6:25:38 AM

DalCowboys All American 1945 Posts user info edit post |
:shrug: Gronkowski came on pretty well at the end of the year last year, and was a better bet than half the other TEs in the league. I can understand Cam not being drafted, but he was a starting QB who had more upside than Beck/Grossman, Henne/Moore, and TJax among others. 12/13/2011 7:29:38 AM

Should be a fun playoffs. I powered through losing Peyton Manning, Kenny Britt, and Darren McFadden. And now I can't use Forte or Jennings. 12/13/2011 8:40:15 AM

Is that a keeper league, otherwise why in the hell would you have manning?
Somehow I don't see myself doing much in the playoffs since my rb's consist of Michael Bush, CJ Spiller and Willis McGahee. I am down to starting 2 players that I drafted (Steve Smiff and Antonio Gates). At least now my white bench isn't filled with injured starters, just shitty backups. 12/13/2011 9:30:00 AM

Who else you all picking up this week to save your playoffs? I need to drop DeMarco Murray 12/13/2011 10:13:18 PM

akaseinfeld All American 1608 Posts user info edit post |
Finished as the #4 seed in my $ league, and play the #1 seed. I love my matchups for my RBs though
Adrian Peterson vs Saints (still questionable I think) Rashard Mendenhall vs 49ers (#1 rush defense) Ryan Matthews vs Ravens (#2 rush defense)
I did manage to pick up Felix Jones (@ Bucs) off of waivers, so I might be forced to start him this week.

^^^^ Bengals, its the Rams c'mon man ^^^ No timetable on Forte, isn't there anyone else you can drop? ^^ Titus Young is my sleeper pick of the playoffs ^ Gotta start Felix over one of those 2 bad matchups
Need 2 RB 2 WR and a flex (current starters in bold) Peterson (NO) Bradshaw (Wsh) Greene (Phi) K. Smith (Oak) Barber (Sea) Fitzgerald (Cle) L. Robinson (TB) T. Young (Oak) D. Baldwin (Dal) N. Washington (Chi)
Lions (Oak) or 49ers (Pit) 12/14/2011 4:25:06 PM

I don't. I drafted him before it was known he was hurt so I had to do the whole season with a QB2. 12/14/2011 6:09:24 PM

dillydaliant All American 1991 Posts user info edit post |
^^Honestly, I'd start Felix over Sproles and keep Helu in there. Felix is going to get ALL the carries against the dead-last rushing D in the NFL.
Which team will win:
TEAM A
Brees Chris Johnson Roy Helu Beanie Wells Calvin Johnson Percy Harvin THE GRONK Cardinals D/ST v. CLE Dan Bailey, DAL
TEAM B
Matty Ice LeSean McCoy Michael Bush Marshawn Lynch Jordy Nelson Mike Wallace Jimmy Graham Cowboys D/ST vs. TB Olindo Mare, CAR

who should I play at flex in a PPR league 12/15/2011 5:14:16 PM

dmspack oh we back 25276 Posts user info edit post |
^IMO, If Big Ben plays then I'd go Brown. If Roethlisberger is out, then Robinson.
Lions D (@OAK) or 49ers D (vs PIT)? And at the flex: Ryan Grant (@KC) or DeSean Jackson (vs NYJ)? 12/15/2011 5:18:55 PM

amac884 All American 25609 Posts user info edit post |
palmer is a turnover machine, but i'd go with san fran at home, especially if Batch is playing. i am starting sf in one of my leagues. flex is a toss up to me. can't trust djax to do anything against anyone, much less against the jets secondary. even though grant may start, he still only got 10 carries last week. i guess i would go with grant, as he may have some momentum on his side.
playoffs time:

^^ I'd go with Arizona. They're actually not terrible, have potential for return TDs, and have the most favorable match up (Don't even know who the Browns backup QB is) 12/16/2011 11:09:49 AM

Steven All American 6156 Posts user info edit post |
^Dez Bryant
Im starting Rex Grossman vs the NYG
over
Sanchez vs Philly and Palmer vs Det
Good play? I honestly do not know who the worse D is vs the pass. I am leaning towards the Giants because they are injury laden. ESPN predicts 21, 17, 14. for my Flex position:
I am currently starting Kevin Smith vs Oakland, but he is questionable. Complete big or nothing player.
or I could play:
Denarius Moore vs Detroit Darrius Heyward-Bey vs Detroit Lance Moore vs Minn
ESPN predicts 15.5, 11.5, 4.5, 12 in that order. Im currently leading the #1 guy in the league by 15 points since apparently each playoff round is two weeks.

I'll jump in with one..1st round of the playoffs.
Pick 3 out of these 5 - PPR league:
Calvin Johnson Nate Washington Lance Moore Santana Moss Donald Driver
Need to hedge a bit as I'm projected down by 20 to the #1 guy who is 12-2..although, both of his losses are to me. 12/18/2011 11:42:08 AM

sheldavie All American 539 Posts user info edit post |
^^ - I like the Grossman play. Giants are giving up 2nd most pts against QBs.
For your flex in your +15 position, I have no idea with your selections. Maybe Denarius Moore is the most solid performer? All the others seem to blow up or do nothing. 12/18/2011 11:48:47 AM

Agreed on S Jackson. Although, his late TD last week eeked out a win for me and got my wife the final playoff spot in another league. Plus, without Bradford starting today SJax should get more looks. 12/18/2011 12:44:45 PM
