Joe Flacco is going to win my week

 

[T2urtle]

I bench Owen Daniels last week and got burned, I bench Cameron this week and he is at 20 points already. Son of a....

I looked over my keeper league and this was my results from drafting third:

1.
LeSean McCoy RB - PHI
PICK 3
2.
A.J. Green WR - CIN
PICK 18
3.
Andre Ellington RB - ARI (I did not draft Giovani here because I had grabbed AJ and I try to avoid same RBs and WRs on same team)
PICK 23
4.
Zac Stacy RB - STL (Timeshare, am thinking about dropping)
PICK 38
5.
Cordarrelle Patterson WR - MIN
PICK 43
6.
Matt Ryan QB - ATL
PICK 58
7.
Maurice Jones-Drew RB - OAK
PICK 63
8.
Emmanuel Sanders WR - DEN
PICK 78
9.
Mike Wallace WR - MIA
PICK 83
10.
Kyle Rudolph TE - MIN
PICK 98
11.
Timothy Wright TE - NE
PICK 103
12.
Carlos Hyde RB - SF
PICK 118
13.
Mike Evans WR - TB
PICK 123
14.
Andy Dalton QB - CIN
PICK 138
15.
Mason Crosby K - GB
PICK 143
16.
Buffalo Bills DEF
PICK 158

Looking back and just WOW. I will hopefully be 3-3 after this week. I am streaming Defenses this year, and it cost me two games or I could miraculously be 5-1. This week I started six people (including Def) that I did not draft.

The six starters:

Dwayne Allen TE - IND
Ahmad Bradshaw RB - IND
DeSean Jackson WR - WAS (yes, someone dropped him after week 2)
Ronnie Hillman RB - DEN
Brandon McManus K - DEN
San Diego Chargers DEF

I'm seriously considering starting Flacco over Brees next week. Brees is on the road at Detroit, a tough defense, with no Jimmy Graham. Flacco has the falcons at home

 

[T2urtle]

The guy with flaccid randomly picked him up with brees on the bye. Go figure... Son of a....

 

[T2urtle]

Cruz just went Down and carted away in tears. He was grabbing a knee. Not good for my team...

Announced as a torn patella....

That's a possible season ender.

Almost 100% for fantasy.

I have Maclin, Donnell, and Beckham Jr...this game is doing me absolutely no good. Gambled on Beckham Jr. over Crabtree...of course he'll have a huge MNF game.

 

[weirdichi]

*sigh*
Maclin.

 

[SP33Demon]

Anyone on the Eagles is a total crapshoot, they love to spread it. I just dropped Ertz (for Randle) since I have Cameron and Kelce (acquired this week via trade) in PPR league. Cameron finally rewarded me with his breakout week.

Beckham Jr will have better weeks to come with Cruz out. Donnell, was never high on him anyway because Randle gets more targets as the big body but he could also get more action with Cruz out.

 

[slayer202]

what kind of clown league are you playing where randle was available. that pff subscrip must really be coming in handy...

 

[glenn1]

Fucking SF, you had one job and that was to get one damn first down on that last drive and run out the clock. Instead you go 3 and out and STL proceeds to throw a pick 6 to lose my week.

 

[ChAoTiCpInOy]

My kicker is on a bye this week (Parkey). I'm thinking of picking up Hauschka or Cundiff but I'm having a hard time deciding who to drop. Potential drop candidates are: Jordan Matthews, Davante Adams, Lorenzo Taliaferro, or Owen Daniels. Who should I drop?

 

[MetalMat]

Anyone have a shovel so I can bury Zac Stacy's fantasy football season? I'll give him another week, *maybe* two but he could be taking a trip to dumpsville quick. I don't know if he is injured or something but Benny Cunningham and Tre Mason clearly looked like the better backs

I dropped Stacy last week in one league and am about to in two other leagues. He is volume dependent and is not getting the volume this year. I can roster a maybe or a what if but I will stay away from committees.

One more solid start by Hillman and Ball should be benched from the starting job in Denver. Get Hillman if you can for cheap.

Hauschka of course. Also, I wouldn't lose sleep over dropping Matthews, Adams, or Daniels unless it's a deep league (14) but would have to know who your TE is as well as WRs. Out of those 3, I'd say Matthews on volume. He played less than 2/3 of snaps while Adams played over 3/4's and had a great game. Daniels has more value than both simply because he plays almost all snaps every game and they scheme for him in the red zone.

 

[SP33Demon]

He was available in both leagues (10 man - understandable and 12PPR - not so much). There are a couple of noobs, looking at the 2 worst teams their bench WRs are: Hurns, Wheaton, Kicker Bullock, Bowe, Cooks, Decker, Malcolm Floyd. I'd put Randle over all of them except maybe Cooks; probably why they are both 1-5.

haha.. I needed that pick 6. got me the win in my league. My opponent must feel the same way you do though.

Daniels has more value than both simply because he plays almost all snaps every game and they scheme for him in the red zone.

It's a 16 man league.

My WRs are Garcon and Andre Johnson and Malcom Floyd. My TEs are Vernon Davis and Antonio Gates.

I hope Stacy is injured so I can start cunningham. I have both.

 

[SP33Demon]

According to analysts, Tre Mason appears to be the best talent of the 3. Roto is calling both Stacy and Cunningham as in the mold of Shonne Green. Ouch. I may try for Mason this week if he gets past Waivers.

16, wow. It looks like you have TE locked down with VD and Gates so Daniels is expendable. Floyd is very iffy if he'll be able to keep it up, I expect Keenan Allen to emerge (someday) when at 100% so you may want to stash Adams and Matthews since the league is so dam deep. Also keep in mind that there are other TE's emerging like ASJ/Amaro who could add Daniels-like production in the future.

VD and Gates both haven't been performing the way I expect them too. Luckily the two TE slots are flex WR/TE so it gives me some flexibility.

I figure I can drop Matthews this week cuz he has a bye so I'm hoping he flies under the radar and I can pick him back up next week.

Yeah 16 man is very deep. Lots of WR3s and WR4s being studied a lot before the draft.
