Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

Bush expects to play, was just a precaution apparently.

Yeah Bell is nothing more than flex right now. Stick him in if you want to roll the dice on fantasy dynamite, otherwise its business as usual.

Would have been my luck since I just traded for Bush and traded Bell away.

I'm such an enormous underdog this week in my main league.

T-Rich is out (bye week, not that anyone can tell the difference)
Mendenhall is doubtful
Vereen is still on IR for a couple more weeks

I've got Lamar Miller as my RB1, and I've been scrambling to find a trading partner for my RB2. If not, I get the choice of one of these guys at RB2:

Alfonso Smith (ARI)
Stepfan Taylor (ARI)
Khiry Robinson (NO)
Tashard Choice (BUF)
C.J. Anderson (DEN)
Montee Ball (DEN)

Smith and Taylor could both get some work with Mendenhall out, although the starter would probably be Andre Ellington. But the Cards say they want to limit Ellington's workload.

Robinson has been getting touches for the Saints and has taken over for the disappointing Mark Ingram, plus they're likely to be up by a lot against Buffalo and probably won't have Jimmy Graham.

Choice is the third guy for the Bills and might get some work if Spiller sits and Jackson is banged up.

Anderson and Ball are the backups for the Broncos, with Anderson being active for the first time this year. Hillman was declared a healthy scratch this week.

Because I'm such an underdog, I'm going for the home run with Joseph Fauria (Gates is on bye). I could get Pettigrew or Cumberland, but a few safe points isn't going to help me win.

 

[KeithTalent]

Maybe Choice if Spills is out. Particularly since F-Jax is a bit banged up, so they may try to limit his carries a bit.

None of the guys listed are all that likely to go off unfortunately, but I would expect Choice to at least get a decent number of snaps if Spiller is out and you can run on the Saints.

How many points are you expecting out of your rb 2? If you absolutely need to swing for the fences then the only guy I see there is Ball and you are living on a prayer that they sit Moreno during the game.

Is that the only options on the wire? How Deep is your League?

You could double down on Miami RBs with Daniel Thomas but I'm not sure how effective that would be.

Is Kendall Hunter available? That's my top desperation Flex. Maybe Hillis?

Out of your list, Robinson or Choice. Robinson more, because the Saints will probably be up and looking to burn the clock. Buffalo's run D is very good though, 8th best graded per PFF but they might be tired in garbage time.

 

[Imported]

Hillis or Hunter would be my top desperations too. Followed by Choice and Ball.

Mike Williams has (partially?) torn hamstring, could miss a few weeks or possibly rest of season.

Yeah he has pretty much been close to inactive for the past 4 games. Sucks though, I like the dude and have always drafted him as my #3 WR for years.

I like it. Cruz is a monster this year but an elite RB is far more valuable than elite WR.

Cruz was expendable since I got Harvin off waivers...needed a RB to stay in the hunt!

Thanks for the feedback

Good trade since we don't know if the Redskins will be utilizing more Turbo package (i.e. Roy Helu) when behind or no huddle which could diminish Alf's value. Analysts will hype Alf's YPC but if you look at the splits, most have come in garbage time. Helu has many of the measurables to become as dangerous as sproles or bush (catches out of the backfield well, very fast and explosive, same size as bush) type player.

Cruz has one of the worst QBs throwing to him with a 55% completion rate and has seen the most pressure of any QB who cannot scramble aside from Weeden, mainly due to the NYG 4th from last pass blocking. Additionally, Eli is dead last (#31) in PFF's Accuracy Percentage - the formula they use is ((Completions + Drops) / (Attempts - Throw Aways - Spikes - Batted Passes - Hit As Thrown)) - which essentially removes factors that hurt the QBs completion % to reflect true accuracy. Add in the fact that most teams are going to put their top shutdown corner on Cruz and you have a similar dilemma as Josh Gordon (very talented receiver whose QB is always under pressure and sucks) which diminishes value.

Shady enjoys the best run blocking line in the league and does best with Vick so barring any injuries, you got the better end in this deal.

That's an awesome trade. Cruz has been really boom or bust this season. I have him in one league and it is frustrating because I know he is really good and can have huge games but they just don't throw him the ball enough, luckily he is my #3 WR.

Morris has essentially been Shanahan'd this season. It's also frustrating because he is very talented and runs well but they just don't give him the touchdowns.

 

[AstroManLuca]

I think Alf is a great buy low. People are overreacting to one game and crying Shanahanigans. He's still a very valuable RB in a year in which there have been a ton of busts.

I still like the trade, because it's always nice to turn two good players into one great one.

 

[MetalMat]

I'm wondering if I should make a trade for one of the elite QBs in my 10 team ppr league. My team is stacked except for my QB which is Rivers. Rivers is a decent option but I am getting worried that the Chargers will continue using a dink and dunk offense which will hurt his fantasy value.

My team:
QB: Rivers, Eli Manning
RB: Marshawn Lynch, Darren Sproles, Eddie Lacy, Zac Stacy
WR: Wes Welker, Jordy Nelson, Victor Cruz, Josh Gordon, Harry Douglas
TE: Julius Thomas, Charles Clay
DST: Chiefs

The team with Peyton Manning is struggling and her starting running backs are Demarco Murray and Deangelo Williams. Would offering something like Rivers & Sproles for Peyton Manning be a fair trade? If I could get Peyton Manning my team would be unstoppable. One knock against QBs in this league is that passing TDs are 4 points so I'm not sure if I should do this. Another thing is I know she is a huge Peyton Manning fan and it would be hard for her to trade him.

 

[BeeBoop]

Which two players do I play? DeMarco Murray, Terrance Williams, and Andre Ellington.

Which two players do I play? DeMarco Murray, Terrance Williams, and Andre Ellington.

Murray and Williams

I am trying to decide between Hillis and Williams.

Brees
D. Thomas
McFadden
S. Jackson
J. Thomas
Boykin (flex)
Williams, Hillis or Douglas (flex)

Prater
Seattle

I picked Boykin over the other three due to his QB and him being the #2 WR on his team this week. I am leaning towards Hillis as he will get a large workload again.

Hillis is safer because of that Jacobs workload he'll be getting. Ton of carries, goal line duties, and hopefully his legs are less Jello and more muscle this week. Hard to go wrong with either as a flex option.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

whats the word on sjax? should i safely play him over joseph randle?

 

[Caesar]

What do you guys think of my roster right now? Murray and Peterson at RB and Nicks and Green at WR. Not sure if I should replace Murray with Stacy and Nicks with Amendola.

 

[tontod]

Should I start Kris Durham or Marvin Jones in week 8?

 

[tfinch2]

Pick one combination since Jimmy Graham is either out or limited:

1.) Garcon, Fitz, Helu, Jordan Reed (Never go full Redskins?)
2.) Garcon, Fitz, Ellington, Reed (Never go full Cardinals?)
3.) Garcon, Fitz, Lamar Miller, Reed
4.) Garcon, Boldin, Ellington, Reed
5.) Garcon, Boldin, Miller, Reed

 

[Imported]

Murray is out.
