Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

Zac Stacy or cj0k today. It was a nonbrainer early when I saw Stacy being hurt. But now its a push.

Ppr, I'm leaning on Stacy for now.

Per PFF:

Stacy vs. the Titan Run D
With four starts in the books, Ram running back Zac Stacy is shooting up the rankings. Carrying positive marks out of each of those four contests, his +4.9 run grade is fifth in the league and the 15 missed tackles he’s forced have him fourth on a miss-per-carry basis among runners with at least 75 attempts. His 2.8 yards after contact per attempt is also a Top-5 number.
Stacy and Ram run game will face a Titan defense that features no dominant run stoppers in its front seven. Outside linebackers Zach Brown and Akeem Ayers rank 14th and 15th, respectively, in Run Stop Percentage among 4-3 OLBs but the team has no other representation in the Top 20 at any position along their front. Between Ayers and Brown, middle linebacker Moise Fokou had logged only nine run stops on 127 run snaps before getting hurt and his replacement Colin McCarthy could only muster two on 39 opportunities in Week 7. In front of them, the interior duo of Jurrell Casey and Antonio Johnson has found just 14 stops on a combined 277 run snaps.

Keep in mind that the STL Rams Run D has actually graded out 4 spots lower (26th) than Tennessee. Like you said, it's a push considering the Titans have more weapons but Stacy has looked way better than cj0k and is the safer bet since he is breaking more tackles. I'd go with Stacy, if his ankle is ok then he will give you a better chance to win but his ankle could be bad. Flip a coin if you're really worried about his ankle.

I have Denarius Moore starting. I can pick up either Nate Washington or Dexter McCluster. Should I pick one of them and start instead of Moore?

 

[SP33Demon]

Yahoo just upgraded Lance Moore and Kenny Stills' projection numbers, if you need a last minute start for Flex then go for it. I'm higher on Stills for the deep strike, reports are that Lance Moore will be playing more slot.

No, Moore is better than both.

 

[tontod]

Hopefully, last question - Ryan Matthews or Leveon Bell?

Colston is inactive.

 

[Adrenaline]

Jordan Reed or Jordan Cameron?

Any input?

 

[SP33Demon]

Who do I start between Tony Gonzalez and Jordan Reed?

Both will do well, but Tony G is elite so you have to start him.

Regarding Leveon Bell vs Mathews, that is a lot tougher call. Considering that the Steelers just lost their best run (and 2nd best pass) blocker DeCastro, I would go with Mathews. I'm starting him in 1 league.

Ben Roethlisberger is running out of people to protect him. Steelers starting right guard David DeCastro (ankle) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against New England. That's bad news for a Pittsburgh offensive line that's struggled this season. Roethlisberger has been sacked 26 times, the fourth most in the NFL. DeCastro's replacement, Guy Whimper, was on the injury report this week with a knee problem, but will play against the Patriots.

I get this feeling Keenan Allen must have said something unspeakable about Philip River's mother.

Edit: finally

 

[Crono]

My Marquise Goodwin love is looking justified this week. My only concerns about him was QB and usage, but he's definitely got the speed and talent. Probably not enough to make up for the lack of targets, but not bad as a sleeper with upside in a bye heavy week.

Now I just need Brandon Bolden to do well. Actually traded away RG3 for Bolden in a PPR league where I have Rivers. I know everyone likes Ridley and Vereen better, but I think Bolden (who's averaged well above 4 yards a carry for his career and makes a lot of catches) has the best blend of skills over both backs, but may not be used much when Vereen returns. Still, if one of the other two goes out with an injury he could be gold during playoff weeks and I don't trust RG3 this year without the same kind of rushing guaranteeing a base number of points.

Call me crazy, but I think Brady and Gronk will have a good week against the Steelers in their afternoon game.

 

[Adrenaline]

Did RG3 look Reed's way for the second half at all? Teed's stats were fine for the first quarter and a half then nothing else.

 

[MetalMat]

Holy Zac Stacy again batman. He is legit

 

[soulcougher73]

Damn Gronk is a beast.

 

[Fingolfin269]

Hah wtf Foles. I pick him to start a couple of weeks ago and he sucks ass. Vick gets hurt again and he has 4 TDs in the first half? Fantasy football is kind of retarded this year.

 

[Adrenaline]

I have a team that started 4-0 and is now going to be 5-4 with the highest point total in the league.

I have another team that is about to be 4-5 with Lynch, McCoy and Lacy on it. It has the second most points in the league by about 10.

Retarded does not begin to describe how I view FF right now. Oh well.

My other teams look like:
8-0 (draft was during the first Thursday night game, so the first week didn't count)
6-3 hopefully

One up in the air sitting at 6-2 right now.

People were speculating that he was playing with some sort of injury the last game he started.

 

[Adrenaline]

Foles has 6 TDs and 331 yards passing with 11:22 left in the third. This is ridiculous.

 

[MetalMat]

Mike James is looking like Barry Sanders

 

[SP33Demon]

Fole-Y Shit! 7!

 

[Fingolfin269]

What is the record for yardage and TDs in a game? Foles may break both.

 

[dougp]

I'm absolutely done with FF. Forever.

 

[BrokenVisage]

Let's see, today I...

1. Benched Riley Cooper for Rod Streeter, whom I just picked up on a whim.
2. Picked up Flacco instead of Foles (literally came down to those 2) to sub in for Stafford.
and 3. Faced Jimmy Graham in 3 of 4 leauges.

 

[MetalMat]

The Seattle play calling is just crazy bad at times. Do Wilson and Bevell have some sort of beef with Lynch?

 

[Kev]

I doubt he'll break the yardage record but TDs probably yes. This is amazing.

 

[benzylic]

Holy Zac Stacy again batman. He is legit

Best waiver wire pick up of the year for me. CJ Spiller looked really good today, might have to consider starting him next week after I had him on the bench for the last 4 weeks. Going with the Raiders defense today was a terrible terrible decision.

Lastly I'm up 111-63. I just have Gronk still going, he was Lacy, T. Rich, and TY Hilton left. Hopefully I'll get the win. I started out 0-4 but have now won 3 of the last 4, so a win today would put me at 4-5:thumbsup:
