Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

I need 6 more total yards between Cruz and Peterson. Please dear teams from the worst MNF game ever make it happen.

Man I fucking hate fantasy football. Pretty much all of my guys are pathetic this week. Peterson, Lamar Miller, Garcon, Gordon, Bennett.

Peyton Hillis is getting some points. Is the #10 ranked RB for this week so far in my ppr league

I haven't been watching the game all that much but I haven't seen the Vikings have the ball the entire second half...every time I look...the Giants are on the field!

Josh Freeman gets tired easily and prefers quick 3 and outs.

 

[leeland]

You know what it is...he is going against Peterson in his fantasy league...that is the only reason I can think he is throwing to a covered fullback vs Peterson!

 

[benzylic]

Coming into tonight I needed Jennings and Cruz to combine for less than 15 points for me to win. Didn't think that would happen, but the ineptitude in this game will give me the win!

 

[tfinch2]

Alright Peterson, if you can break a 70 yarder I win...

 

[MisterJackson]

Sorry AD owners. Goodnight.

Picked wrong RB but still won. Awesome.

Percy Harvin is set to practice Monday. There is a small chance he could be active for the game against the Rams this week

Playing him against the Rams would be completely pointless since with Bradford injured there's no realistic chance the Rams will win. Unless they're just allowing him to play some garbage time snaps just to get back in the rythym of the game or whatnot, I'd rather he got the extra week of rest and avoided the chance of a random injury in a game where the result isn't really in doubt.

I'm crushing my league right now, but I've painted myself into an RB corner with trades. I wasn't paying attention to bye's when I traded for Bush and Moreno, and now I've got Gore, Moreno and Bush on bye week 9. The only RB I have to play then is DeMarco Murray (I was gonna trade him yesterday, but stopped when I realized my bye week 9 dilemma).

Have any of you been in similar situations? I can't fathom dropping Gore, Moreno or Bush for a bye week fill in, so it looks like I'm rolling the dice week 9 with just Murray.

Fudge, almost went undefeated for the week. Only game I lost was the one I thought was going to be the easiest, against guy near bottom of league who left shaub in. Then fitz, tony combine as no shows and he has a couple 30 point performers so we go into sunday night with my lead at 12 and he only has welker left. 16 points later and it's all she wrote.

Either drop someone on your bench that you don't need like a backup QB or make a trade. Do not drop any of those running backs, I would rather just take the hit and be empty at my #2 RB for the week.

I wish I could, but we can only carry 4 RB's It looks like Murray or bust! I am gonna put some trade feelers out though. What effect do you think Kap's running last week has on Gore going forward?

 

[benzylic]

Should I go with Kaepernick against the jags or Wilson against the rams? Both promise to be equally one sided affairs.

I think Gore is still a solid #2 RB lock. He may not be the most flashy running back but he runs damn well. If San Fran would give Frank Gore the goal line work and not occasionally vulture them to Hunter then Gore could end up being a low end #1 RB for the rest of the season.

One risk people have with starting San Fran players this week is that they might get up early against Jacksonville and decide to pound the rock with the backup running backs for a large portion of the game.

I seriously hate leagues with roster limits. Hate. It kills all the strategy.

Roster limits are needed. Limits of a certain position is stupid though.

That's what I meant. There has to be a limit on how many players can be on your team total, it's just dumb when you have rules like "no more than 4 RBs" or "no more than 2 TEs." I guess it's to prevent hoarding but it can mess with your ability to stash certain players or handcuff your starting RBs.

If you want to have 3 WRs and 7 RBs on your team, fine, go ahead. Chances are, if your team looks like that, you have other problems. And there's always trading.

Gore got his 2 TD goal line carries last game so I think they're rewarding him now.

I have Kaepernick in one league and am hesitant to start him against Jax for that reason. Jax is last in the league vs the run, they are probably going to Gore them to death like with TN and run out the clock and use their DST to win it for them. I'm going to see what other QBs are available.

Man, I hope you're right!

I don't know what Dave Richard at CBS fantasy football today is smoking but he trade value chart is so wack and has been all season. I would not even recommend it as a reference guide.

For example. According to his chart, looking at PPR running backs, he is going to tell me that: Ray Rice, Alfred Morris, Chris Johnson and Darren McFadden are all worth more than Danny Woodhead or Darren Sproles? Pahlease

 

[KeithTalent]

^^ he's terrible. I keep meaning to look at where he ranks in the analyst rankings, but he always seems to be talking out of his ass.
