Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Yeah that really provides a boost to the pass heavy QBs. I'd likely target Rodgers in the first after the elite RBs are gone. Tried to get at you on IRC but the podcast I recommended that's in the OP, Fantasy Underground, is no more. It was Christopher Harris and Field Yates. Field is now an ESPN on air person and Christopher Harris has left ESPN to start his own site (harrisfootball.com) and a solo podcast (there are guests). It's called the "Harris Football" podcast and it's actually a better podcast than Fantasy Underground (5 days a week instead of 2, different guests every episode so there's more points of view).

Dandy Kaiser posted:With my RBs of Peterson, Morris, Yeldon, David Johnson, and Taliaferro and a league with no waivers where not one person gives a poo poo about Zo, I feel like i could pretty safely drop him this week for Michael if he's going to be limited Sunday, and then if (when) nothing comes of it, could probably pick Zo back up with no consequence. I just don't want to be the idiot and do with him what I did with McKinnon last year and throw away a flex play because I kept waffling him to the point that my leaguemates caught on. Snaps Zo has in the NFL this year: greater than 0 Snaps Cmike has this year: 0 loving stupid rumors posted about Zo in this thread: 0 loving stupid rumors posted about Cmike in this thread: 1 Yeah, definitely drop Zo for Cmike. Clearly Zo is the one without the clear path to fantasy points. Nevermind his 10 points last week.

I have no idea about Perriman being drop prone or not but I think the Ravens showed w/ Torrey Smith that they will start a drop prone guy if he is a burner who can stretch the field. Stretching the field opens up the running game for them. I'm more excited for Forsett/Taliaferro once Perriman starts playing than I am for Perriman.

I couldn't blame you for benching Bradford until he shows you something or, if you have a short bench, dropping him. fun fact: Bradford is only 3 fantasy points behind Andrew Luck on the year.

gingerberger posted:Anyone who watches Baltimore know if there's any chance of Taliaferro taking Forsetts job if he continues to suck? I'm thinking of dropping Zo to grab Carr for the week (I have tannehill now). I'm obviously never playing Zo unless he takes the job through injury or competence. Zo vultured a touchdown in week 2 but he's been hurt all season. It's unlikely that he overtakes Forsett in the next couple weeks. To overtake Forsett based on playing well I imagine Zo would need to be off the injury report and start performing really well. Zo is a more intriguing back than Forsett. He's got better size and good speed. But for now I don't think there's any concern of Zo taking over unless Forsett is injured. The risk you run in dropping Zo is mostly that Forsett gets hurt this week or that Zo lights up the fantasy scoreboard by vulturing multiple touchdowns. Both of those things are not impossible so weigh that against the value of keeping Tannehill.

LmaoTheKid posted:I think collusion is something like a 3-0 team trades a kicker to the 0-3 team for Lynch. Everything else is basically fair game and vetos are dumb. Collusion is pretty easy it's when both parties to a trade make a trade with the goal of helping one party while hurting the other party. For instance, when a team that is obviously losing gives up good players to a better team to help them out because they are quitting or something, that's collusion. Or when a team loans a player to another team for a week to help them defeat another team who is ahead in the standings. The key thing with collusion is that both parties performed the trade to benefit only one party. In the case of a lopsided trade you can't know there is collusion without the parties involved admitting to it. Dren fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Oct 2, 2015 |

Harold Cooplowski posted:Why are all my sites projecting TJ Yeldon as a better start than Chris Johnson or Chris Ivory? Am I missing something? CJ2K has the Rams porous run D for god's sake. Never look at the projections they are very misleading. If you need help with sit/start decisions go find a rank list from a fantasy expert you like and use that to help you decide. Alternatively you can use the fantasypros expert consensus ranking (ECR) which just averages a bunch of rankings. If the guys you are looking at are within a couple spots of each other then go with your gut.

Maybe only if you have someone on your bench that you feel comfortable dropping (like Taliaferro perhaps since the Ravens already played). What site do you play on where you can drop someone who already played that week before the week is over

Is Stefon Diggs for real? I am hurting at WR and am trying to decide how much FAAB Diggs is worth. I have Jordan Matthews, Kendall Wright, and Marvin Jones. I need someone who can at least put up ~10 points a game with upside. Is Charles Johnson coming back a huge question mark for Diggs? Is it worth paying for him anyway?

Spoeank posted:How many years in a row does CMike have to be a garbage man player before we give up on him With CMike I have to see it before I'll believe it. He is fine to have on your bench in case he supplants Randle but he should be dropped without hesitation if you need to cover for the bye weeks of players who have actually scored fantasy points this year or need room to pick up an actual breakout player. I am starting Randle this week in my flex over Kendall Wright because just like with CMike, I will believe Randle is not the #1 back when I see it.

Did they even throw to Jordan Matthews at all in the second half two weeks ago? He had some real bad drops in the first half (of course he did) and it seemed like they threw in the towel on him. This week will be really telling. He's about an inch away from being dropped from my team.

I posted this in the GDT by mistake but Last night Jordan Matthews looked like exactly the player I drafted him to be, solid WR2 with WR1 upside. I don't think I saw a single drop from him and he made some catches that were pretty good despite seeming to be game planned out to start the game. He was 8 for 92 without counting the 41 yard overtime TD, a solid performance. Bradford continues to worry me in that he seems to really need time in the pocket but he did ok last night when pressured. Regarding the Eagles as a team it worried me that the Eagles spent the third quarter and part of the fourth pretending Cole Beasley didn't exist, basically not covering him at all on multiple plays and letting him go nuts. So if you have Cole Beasely don't get excited.

I have $21/$100 left of my FAAB. Someone dropped James Jones. My WRs are Amendola, Davante Adams, Marvin Jones, and Jordan Matthews. Should I spend the remainder of my FAAB to pick up James Jones: Hoodie Edition? My only motivation for holding onto my FAAB is the hope that a startable RB will crawl out of the woodwork. I have AP and Buck Allen, and no one else. Dren fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Nov 25, 2015 |
