'Cuz it's KILLIN' ME!
What are the odds of Denver's O, specifically Sanders, not being useless this week? Is Sandders a better flex bet than say, Fozzie Whitaker or Kamar Aiken?

Feel the beat
I think it's a tossup,, but I'd generally take Aiken over Sanders. I'm low on the Fozz personally.

Looking ahead to the championship next week - Andrew Luck is sitting in Free Agency right now. Worth grabbing and potentially starting over Bortles, or even stashing to keep out of the hands of my potential opponents?

They would have either Alex Smith vs Cle or Palmer v GB. Luck plays @Mia in week 16. Bortles is the only QB on my roster, who gets a juicy matchup with NO in the final

You would be incredibly lucky to have your opponent play Luck over Palmer, and you would be really dumb to start Luck over Bort.

Torn between 2 DFS constructions: AJ Green @ SF, Jordan Reed vs BUF, and Seahawks D vs CLE or Sammy Watkins @ WAS, Gronk vs TEN, and Pats D vs TEN?

I had the former ready to go but now I'm worried about Green being added to the injury report today and thinking of switching. Thoughts?

I suppose I'll post my season-long sit/starts too...
Lacy @ OAK or Denard Robinson vs ATL or Hightower vs DET?
[different league] sit one: Denard Robinson vs ATL or Shaun Draughn vs CIN or Hightower vs DET?

I have the luxury of owning Greg Olsen and Delanie Walker. I'm wanting to start Olsen but fearing an aggravation takes him out. Do I slot Walker in TE and bench Olsen, putting one of Boldin or Ginn Jr. in the flex?

I need to win to make the super bowl... But benching Olsen seems dumb.

Really wish I had picked up Bilal. My buddy had told me about him and I was just too chickenshit to pull the trigger. Now Hightower and Denard are probably going to combine for less than what he's put up in the first half.

I have Bilal in a couple dynasty leagues and picked up and dropped him in a few redraft, but I've never felt good about starting him so never did :shrug:

E: And just to be clear, I wish I would have done so several times, I think he's pretty undervalued with any PPR, including by me.

Yeah I typed that in a hurry since the game was coming up. And no I didn't play him thank God, I switched for Gabbert at literally the last second. Still going to be a brutal week, which sucks since I had such a great regular season (9-4 with an 8-win streak and first place overall).

Here's my matchup and my bench. I think I have it the best I can get it, but thoughts are welcome.

Green Bay
Buffalo
Miami

Have Pittsburgh and Buffalo on my roster but I also have Emmanuel Sanders (DEN) as my WR2 and Steelers are at Denver. Potentially Pittsburgh can get me points through sacks but I think it doesn't make sense starting a defense against another guy you're counting on for points.

Any Chargers fans have insights regarding Woodhead's lack of production lately, even in PPR? I tried googling for news hits win the past week, but nothing.

I realize SDC is injured everywhere and their general offensive output has been down, but Danny has been really underperfoming even in touches and it's a bit baffling considering you'd imagine they would find a way to get him involved as a weapon (with injuries to their receivers). Why aren't they?

Biggest thing has been them wanting to feed Gordon more to really see what they have in him headed into next year.

Also with that shithouse o-line they're wanting to utilize the backs a bit more to protect and that takes away Woodhead's looks in the flat that let him rack the PPR stats.

"Yes, I remember the Aguamoose..."
I think if I miraculously survive this week I am going to have to bench Ivory the next 2 weeks. It's painfully obvious whenever they are going to hand it off to him and the defense plays accordingly.

I have Powell too but wouldn't start him with confidence either...

I was 13-1 in the regular season in my main league but might be 1 and done in the playoffs at this rate - opponent played Austin, Mcfadden and Bryant so I'm playing catchup.

Did NOT realize McFadden had a saturday game and I left him in my flex slot. Which ended up fine for scoring, but I wanted to move Miller into my flex spot for more flexibility of a replacement as I'm kinda woozy on Miller at the moment.

So as it stands now I can only replace him with Draughn (I have C Mike and but C A-P, but I'm not taking that chance at all). Is that even something I should remotely consider? Or just play the player rank. I hesitate to say "don't sit your studs" since CLEARLY Miami doesn't understand how good Miller is.

Here's your weekly reminder that, even if you're playing with close friends, make sure to always push for rule changes and never take someone's word.

Dynasty league, last year before the championship, I am playing commissioner's GF. I had spoken with the commish privately and agreed we could trades open throughout the year (I was vocal about being worried) so long as there were no "bullshit" trades during the playoffs. He also pushes trades through quickly for all league trades, not his own. Finally, there's a fun feature on fleaflicker that all trades have a "Veto" button under them, but it exists even when vetos are turned off. I'm sure you know what's coming.

Two days before the championship game, he trades Mark Ingram and the Lions D to the girlfriend for Carlos Hyde and the 49ers D (what a sweet covariance play). I give them poo poo for it, find out that veto button was just there without being usable -- they say "ohoho dynasty league Carlos Hyde is gonna blow up" and I also called bullshit on that, because Carlos kind of sucks. They clearly knew what they were up to. I say gently caress it, I'm gonna kick their rear end no matter how they try to Vince McMahon it, and sure enough, CJA clinches me a victory. (Should've checked closely about vetos. that one's on me.)

I push for vetos and no more pushing trades through, but of course, as the champ and the only one adversely affected by this, no one cares. I receive word from the commissioner before the season that this won't happen again. Ok! Cool, we're buds, no problem, glad you see it my way. (I'm in this for fun, but this was again very stupid of me.)

This year: I'm playing commish's girlfriend in the semis, and sure enough on Friday, they do a first round pick swap, and she gets Deangelo Williams while he gets Jamaal Charles. They also change their team names to laugh about this. Other people in the league call bullshit, the two of them complain about us being little babies and texting each other, trying to smokescreen away the blatant collusion, yada yada. As soon as I win the championship, I'm either dropping all of my players or trading them on the cheap to the worst teams.

I am not in this for some ruthless GM-ing. I do this to have fun with my friends and play for some money -- this type of poo poo is not fun. If there's anybody reading this that is not super jaded like most of you fuckers, don't be an idiot like me, make sure to check out rules as closely as possible and take care of any problems you have up front. Don't take anyone at their word, even close friends. I forget which user named their league friends made enemies, but that is hilarious and sadly true. Good luck today.

Edit: Just received a message to the whole league containing the phrase "collusion has such a loose definition..." gently caress this poo poo.

Two questions with 30 minutes left to change line ups, standard scoring, pick one in each section:
Forte @ MIN
Robinson vs ATL
Hightower vs DET

and

Bernard @ SF
Brandon Bolden vs TEN
Bryce Brown vs CLE

I feel like I shouldn't sit Forte, but Robinson and Hightower will probably get more touches with a more favorable matchups. I am leaning towards Bolden for the second league, but I am always apprehensive starting NE RBs, and Bernard could have a big game vs SF since they cannot tackle.
