MJD

shoulda played Vereen...but how am I gonna do that in week 1

9/8/2013 10:43:40 PM

McCoy + 8 points vs RGKnee + Owen Daniels (.5 PPR)

9/9/2013 12:10:45 AM

totally drank the preseason kool-aid for David Wilson, Zach Sudfeld and Lamar Miller

at least I avoided Stevan Ridley

9/9/2013 8:09:20 AM

Agreed tree I started veeren over Matthews in one league. That one worked out but in another I did the same thing. Oh well at least he's there for next week!

9/9/2013 8:48:33 AM

Started Ridley at RB in one league...but also started Vereen at Flex. It's a PPR, knew he'd be used at least some. Too bad I had J. Bell on my bench in that league too.

Not a good day for my RBs across my leagues(MJD, Spiller, Ridley) but luckily the QBs/WRs/TEs all had really nice days.

Now if Andre Johnson could just lay an egg tonight that would put a nice stamp on Week 1 of fantasy, haha.

9/9/2013 8:53:42 AM

if only I had started Reggie Bush and Anquan Boldin instead of Lamar Miller and Calvin Johnson.

I'm never starting a Miami running back again.

I HATE YOU FANTASY FOOTBALL

9/9/2013 9:34:41 AM

So, I wonder how many of the millions of fantasy teams with Peyton actually lost this week.

Outside of some wierd leagues that may use some wacky kind of scoring, I bet none.

Going against the team that has Peyton, I need about 90 points out of McCoy and Morris tonight to make it close. he also had Cruz, Fitzgerald AND Nelson (6 TD and 330 yards between them)....

i too hate FF

9/9/2013 9:50:59 AM

^I have Peyton in one league (scored me 46.2 points) and my game is pretty much 50/50. Then again, my team is pretty shitty in that league. And my opponent had both Julian Thomas and Larry Fitzgerald.

9/9/2013 9:59:30 AM

Had Dallas D on the bench in one of my leagues, or else I would have already won going into tonight. Now i need 12 points out of DeSean Jackson tonight. A nice 60yd TD to open the game would be nice.

I'm getting destroyed in my other league (down by 58), but I still have RG III, McCoy, and Texans D tonight. Going to be tough, but possible.

And speaking of Peyton, I had Vick a few years ago when he had a similar performance and blew up Fantasy. A friend of mine in another league had him on the bench that game, I thought he was going to shoot himself.

I am currently beating my opponent who started Peyton thanks to Aaron Rodgers, AJ Green, Vincent Jackson and Reggie Bush. I'm up 143.7 to 135.65 and still have Fred Davis and Houston's Defense going tonight

in another league I was projected to score 127 points, but thanks to Spiller, Sudfeld, D. Wilson and Lamar Miller, I've got 60.42 points right now. fuck

[Edited on September 9, 2013 at 10:15 AM. Reason : asdf]

9/9/2013 10:13:24 AM

^ yeah, Spiller fucked me in both leagues

9/9/2013 10:18:03 AM

I can't complain too much. Last year in my 8 team league I routinely flirted with 200 point weeks (standard ESPN scoring). Never broke 200 though

9/9/2013 11:39:59 AM

^^^

I was a huge Wilson and Sudafed fan this week

9/9/2013 11:46:25 AM

12 team league, .5 ppr. Started James Jones over Tayvon Austin in my flex spot this week and got 0 from Jones. Anyone else with Jones thinking about dropping/trading him, or is this week just an aberration?

9/9/2013 12:03:21 PM

I'd wait on dropping him.


Shane Vereen or Joique Bell worth a waiver pickup? I need a WR with R.White out but these two could be trade bait at some point. I already have Forte, Rice, and Mathews.

9/9/2013 12:52:32 PM

I'd wait to see how Mathews does tonight before making a determination . Vereen will be a hot pickup based on Ridley's performance yesterday, but you're still talking about starting a NE RB - always a risky proposition.

9/9/2013 12:54:36 PM

Honestly, I'm more interested in Bell. Bush always gets hurt.

9/9/2013 12:58:38 PM

^^ is Roddy definitely out?

9/9/2013 12:58:46 PM

I'd say definitely worth a pickup on either. Vereen has upside running and receiving, as does Bell. As far as I can tell from week 1 they are 2 of the most valuable backups to have right now

9/9/2013 12:59:02 PM

"Mon, Sep 9 Roddy White admitted that he does have a high ankle sprain. Advice: The Falcons have been saying that White's sprain is not severe ever since he sustained it during the second preseason game. They weren't being truthful. White played on just 37 snaps in Week 1 and was used as a mere decoy en route to two catches for 19 yards. Expect another limited week of practice and a muddied outlook heading into Week 2. High ankle sprains are a bear to overcome. More: Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Rotoworld.com)"

THANKS A LOT FOR WAITING UNTIL THE START OF THE SEASON TO TELL THE TRUTH ATLANTA. FUCK YOU!

9/9/2013 1:11:52 PM

that was a waste of a 5th round pick

9/9/2013 1:13:52 PM

I have Peyton & Boldin in 1 of my leagues (also nice contributions from Witten, Forte & others). Ended up with 183.8 on the week.

Sadly, I had Spiller & Sudfield in other leagues.

9/9/2013 1:35:03 PM

Shane Vereen has a broken bone in his wrist. Out a few weeks.



[Edited on September 9, 2013 at 1:51 PM. Reason : er]

9/9/2013 1:50:17 PM

yep, Vereen is having surgery today for his wrist.

Sudfeld pulled his hamstring yesterday

Romo does not have broken ribs

9/9/2013 2:09:16 PM

I, too, have ESPN Scorecenter on my phone

9/9/2013 2:43:00 PM

^^Bet he still remains Tony Romo, so there's that.

9/9/2013 2:54:24 PM

which means he is typically a great fantasy bargain as he is almost always drafted later than he should be because of peoples' perception.

9/9/2013 4:27:38 PM

Looks like I'm going 1-4 this week :/

9/9/2013 5:11:30 PM

^ 2 years ago I lost the first game of the season then went undefeated the rest of the season and won the championship. It's only week 1, we got a long way to go.

[Edited on September 9, 2013 at 5:15 PM. Reason : a]

9/9/2013 5:15:27 PM

AHAHA, Alfred Morris is totally screwing with me.

9/9/2013 7:56:06 PM

That explain why he's playing like shit

9/9/2013 7:57:54 PM

I drafted Morris over McCoy

9/9/2013 9:10:14 PM

Wide Receiver question:

14-team league, not PPR. I have Mike Wallace and Steve Johnson as my starting WRs, with Kenny Britt and Greg Little as backups (figuring that they're #1 options and thus worth drafting). Should I look at replacing one of the latter two with a team's WR2 going forward?

Available:

Emmanuel Sanders
Jerome Simpson
Riley Cooper
Brian Hartline (I know, I know)
Doug Baldwin
Harry Douglas

9/9/2013 9:36:34 PM

Brian Hartline would be a great replacement, with Doug Baldwin being a little better choice than the other 2 you have.

9/9/2013 9:49:03 PM

I'm not buying the Jerome Simpson hype. I think it was a fluke this week.

9/9/2013 9:59:11 PM

Alfred Morris and McCoy have allowed me to extend my leads in both my leagues tonight

40 pt lead in one league, 50 pt lead in the other. League where I have the 40 pt lead, the opposing guy has Houston defense and Andre Johnson tonight...so I'm not exactly comfortable...

50 pt lead league i've already clinched the win.

[Edited on September 9, 2013 at 10:08 PM. Reason : ...]

9/9/2013 10:06:47 PM

Was offered this trade:

I give:
Darren McFadden
James Jones

I get:
David Wilson
Marques Colston

thoughts?

9/9/2013 10:27:08 PM

Lol. David Wilson should be a free agent.

9/9/2013 10:28:02 PM

What does the rest of your team look like? Is it PPR?

9/9/2013 10:40:35 PM

So, in 1 league, Morris is credited with 2 fumbles. In another, just 1. In the league where he has just 1, I trail by 1 point to someone who has him.

9/9/2013 10:56:07 PM

Do you lose pts for all fumbles, not just lost ones? The safety was a fumble recovery in the end zone.

9/9/2013 11:03:24 PM

some stat adjustment to RG3 or Garcon just cost me this week. Was up by 1.5, now down 6. Oh well

9/9/2013 11:09:37 PM

Comfortable lead. Finish them P.Riv, make them feel it.

9/9/2013 11:20:57 PM

I started tonight down by like 60 or something.

Vick and McCoy got me within 30 or so (Opponent's DeSean cancelled them out a bit).

I have Gates and Andre Johnson remaining. Not happening

[Edited on September 9, 2013 at 11:29 PM. Reason : WHAT ANDRE TD? IS THAT REAL]


[Edited on September 9, 2013 at 11:30 PM. Reason : no way, he's down, fml]

9/9/2013 11:29:33 PM

Nope, gonna get brought back

9/9/2013 11:30:59 PM

If someone could put a helmet to Owen Daniels' knee, that would benefit me

9/9/2013 11:33:52 PM

Another touchdown to Daniels might let me get away with leaving Boldin on my bench.

9/9/2013 11:35:52 PM

god dammit gates these almost-touchdowns are killing my heart.

Forgive me Phil, I didn't mean it baby. It'll never happen again, I promise

9/9/2013 11:55:24 PM

this is heartbreaking.

116 - 50 before tonight's games.

132 - 117 now.

Dammit Andre/Gates.
