Thanks guys, didn't even think about checking the stats :chair:

For real. What a huge difference, Dallas least yards to RB vs. Colts dead last. Quite the difference.

 

[ghost recon88]

Yea, reason I was hesitant is because Green-Ellis has been on a tear lately and Benson only has 1 rushing TD through 5 games.

 

[AMDZen]

Benson does blow. Just go with your gut if you want. I do it all the time and it pays off. Stats just don't tell the whole story, especially with only 5 games of data (or only 4 games in the case of Dallas).

Colts are notoriously bad against the run.

 

[SunnyD]

When are waivers again?

 

[AMDZen]

Is that for real?

I see

[slayer202]

he'd have a better shot at winning a championship with Seattle than the Heat

Right now... no, not for real. Just Pete Carroll and LeBron goofing around on twitter. BUT... I wouldn't put it past LeBron to actually consider and/or actually DO it for the remainder of the season. Just for publicity.

Sadly, he'd probably have a better season than Ochocinco at this point.

 

[AMDZen]

I think that would be hilarious. Frankly I don't see how anybody thought Ocho might have a good season in NE

What do you guys think of Brandon Lloyd for AJ Green in a PPR league? Green is a beast but has a pretty tough schedule against passing defenses towards the end of the season.

I think Brandon Lloyd's value went down considerably with Tebow playing QB. He'll still be good, but Green will be better.

If you are the recipient of AJ Green, do it - do it now.

I concur. AJ Green has been very consistent.

What makes you say that? Tebow has a hardon for Lloyd.

4/79 td, 8 completions for tebow
5/111, 16 completions
5/73 td, 16 completions.

Its every other WR on the Donks that are screwed.

 

[Onita]

PPR on both:

Team 1:
QB Ryan
RB Forte
RB Peterson
WR Stevie
WR Welker
Flex MJD
D Eagles, (Should I start 49ers?)
K Janikowski

Bench: Fitzpatrick, Ridley, Snelling, Decker, Nelson, Washington, Mike Williams, Hernandez

Team 2:
QB: Fitz
RB:Fred Jackson
RB: DMC
WR:Cruz
WR:Austin
TE: daniels
Flex - Greene
K - Rackers
D Chi

Bench: Blount, Garcon, A. Johnson, Fred Davis, Michael Bush, Cadillac

 

[SunnyD]

#1 - Curious - Julio Jones is out, and Ryan has been struggling, yet you're starting him?

#2 - Not riding Garcon with the hot hand? Interesting.

 

[dougp]

For flex on team 2, I'd start Garcon. Painter loves him for some reason ...

 

[Onita]

#2 - Not riding Garcon with the hot hand? Interesting.

#1 - so has Fitz. I'm going back and forth on it, hence posting here.

#2 - So has Cruz. So who do I sit for him? MJD? Miles?

 

[kstu]

i think fitz gets it back and has a nice week, but between ryan/fitz it's pretty much a tossup.

i like cruz this week over garcon, im thinking indy's offense gets a little reality check this week, don't think cinci is gonna let garcon sneak behind them like the last few weeks.

 

[dougp]

Wow, what the hell is happening in Denver?

WTF?

It's like McDaniels all over again. QB turmoil and then jettison off your best WR.

I'm not sure his contract status, maybe he's due for a renew and Denver won't pay what his performance was worth last year. But otherwise...who freaking knows.

 

[Kev]

well that helps answer the trade question i had earlier

 

[slayer202]

he won't be back in Denver after this year, so might as well try to get something for him. The asking price is pretty cheap I believe.

 

[shocksyde]

Here's one for you guys...

49ers D/ST @DET
Vikings D/ST @CHI

49ers Pros:
- Scoring points like gangsters
- If I chose them, I can drop the Vikings and add someone useful
- Ted Ginn, Jr. returning kicks

49ers Cons:
- Detroit scores A LOT of points
- Stafford has been sacked 1, 0, 5 (Vikings), 0 and 0 times
- Stafford doesn't throw a ton of picks

Vikings Pros:
- Playing against Jay Cutler
- Will almost surely get a decent # of sacks and TOs

Vikings Cons:
- Have scored about half as many points as the 49ers
