[Away]

Should I start Gore or Ingram in the 49ers vs. Saints game? Gore isn't playing well and Ingram is hurt plus facing the 49ers D. My other options are Ivory vs. PIT and Mason vs. ARI. Jennings is still out unfortunately.

 

[eits]

Ingram, no brainer.

 

[T2urtle]

Ingram is playing well enough for me to consider dropping Pierre thomas.

Play Ingram.

I would think Cutler...he is going to gut the Packers D

And that is from a Packers fan.

Whelp, I am glad you were wrong. Looks like typical Cutler when playing the Packers. He may get some garbage time stats as the Packers are just rolling.

Here's the thing - it doesn't matter how he looks IRL, what matters is that he puts up points, garbage time or not. That's what made RGIII so good at the beginning of the season last year. This is FF, and considering the points Cutler put against the Pats in garbage time, it's reasonable to think he could still do the same in this game.

 

[SP33Demon]

T2urtle, hope you made that trade for Beast Mode.

In one league I'm streaming defenses and AZ killed it for me. 30+ points, dam. Next week going with SD (Oak@SD) who will be off the bye.

 

[Hacp]

WTF is up with cutler. 3 straight duds. At this point, my options don't look good. Either Cutler or Wilson, both are not reliable to score 20 a game.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

Down 112.98 to 55.00 last night before the Sunday night game. My opponent had all his players play before the Sunday night game. Down 57.98. I needed my players to do well.

Do I win?

Yes! Thank you Rodgers, Cobb and Crosby. I won 117.80 to 112.98. They gave me 62.8 points!

Ran into a Manning/Lynch/Nelson/Zona buzzsaw last night. THat was fun.

Me too...I did reverse psychology!

I thought the pack would win and Cutler would be 'ok' since the packers D is so suspect...

I think it speaks for itself when Chris Collingsworth is doing a slam dance against the whole Bears team for literally the whole first half.

 

[SP33Demon]

Wow, that had to suck. How did he get to draft those 3? All 3 were usually in the top 20/24 picks in the draft this year.

I'm up 19 in PPR with K.Benjamin left vs his Cam Newton. I should win barring Cam going nuts on the ground tonight.

 

[dougp]

Well, I'm up 157.43 to 112.28 - he has Cam Newton, Kelvin Benjamin and Zach Ertz to play, while I have LeSean McCoy. Everyone killed for me, but Cutler hurt me bad this week - good thing I played the GB DST.

 

[EvilYoda]

17 point lead coming into tonight with Maclin and Benjamin to play against Newton and Sproles...what a weekend.

At least Cam's having another shitty game.

 

[dougp]

Looks like this isn't going to be an issue for me.

And Cutler is actually going to do better than someone ...

 

[Connoisseur]

Have an epic fantasy football question. I'm in the enviable position of having a pretty sick RB core in a 12 man league but have a not so sick WR core. looking to offload one of my RB's for a WR and I wanted some opinions on what you think a FAIR trade would be. I'm not trying to screw anybody over. So here it is:
My current RB core: Foster, J Charles, FJax, Rashad Jennings (I can only play 3)
My WR core: Andre Johnson, Michael Crabtree, Andrew Hopkins

Currently considering the following trades to teams that are hurting at RB:
FJax OR Rashad for Brandon LaFell
FJax or Rashad for Golden Tate
FJax or Rashad for Kelvin Benjamin
FJax or Rashad for Alshon Jeffrey
Fjax or Rashad for Fitz

I'm debating on which one of my RB's has a higher upside. Rashad had better performance before getting injured but FJax will most likely own the backfield once he gets back in since Spiller is out. Also obviously looking for best value for the trade. Thoughts? Comments? Looking to make a trade offer today.

Edit: I'm trying to value my guys based on injuries/suspensions/switches to RB's this year. No one on my league has the depth at RB that I do and I think the RB position is very valuable based on what I'm seeing in most people's rosters (i.e. 1 stud at most and another maybe top 25-30 player).

Let's be honest - you have two studs, Foster and Charles. Foster is potentially hurt right now, and Charles was hurt earlier in this season. Your other two RBs are coming off injuries, so you're really stretching here when you think you'll be going after high-end WRs. LaFell is clearly the new #1 in NE, and a favorite target of Brady. Tate is the #7 WR in PPR, Benjamin is the #12, Alshon is #21, Fitz is #24 and LaFell is #26 - this is in my current league that has a bonus to 150 yard games. Jackson is #19 and Jennings is #33 - if you're in a PPR league, you're insulting someone with your trade offers. You're the one who needs to strengthen your WR corps, not them, especially if they have a stud and then another top 20-30 player. If you want most of those guys, I'd suspect most people would want Charles or Foster.

Just my opinion, though.

I would do Golden Tate and Benjamin for Fred Jackson and Rashad Jennings. Your Wideouts suck and you need to increase the quality of them to have any chance of doing well in playoffs.

Yeah just as a reference. The LaFell offer looks like it's going through for Jennings. His team:
RB: Mark Ingram, Tre Mason, Joique Bell, Blue
WR: AJ Green, Antonio Brown, TY Hilton, Lafell, Allen Robinson, Keenan Allen

I think my trade was more than fair considering he has three stud WR's starting and crap for RB's. There's no reason he should have Lafell warming his bench. In retrospect, LaFell doesn't have the consistency of other studs since Brady has so many weapons.

Now i'm debating keeping FJax for Flex/Injury or trading him away for a WR as well. Trade deadline is end of next week.

For him, that trade makes sense. As for LaFell, I expect him to be a lot more consistent - this week will be the telling sign, though.

I'm up 19 in PPR with K.Benjamin left vs his Cam Newton. I should win barring Cam going nuts on the ground tonight.

It was an auction league with a $200 budget. This was their draft. I can't tell if this strategy is genius or completely retarded, but this person currently sits in first place with the next closest person >100 points away:

1 Peyton Manning, Den QB $40
6 Marshawn Lynch, Sea RB $48
11 Vincent Jackson, TB WR $31
16 Jordy Nelson, GB WR $34
29 Julius Thomas, Den TE $31
60 Shonn Greene, Ten RB $1
94 Carson Palmer*, Ari QB $2
101 Broncos D/ST D/ST $2
108 Blair Walsh, Min K $1
132 Willis McGahee, Cle RB $1
138 Mark Ingram, NO RB $4
174 Andre Williams, NYG RB $1
181 Knile Davis, KC RB $1
186 Tavon Austin, StL WR $1
191 Alex Smith, KC QB $1
192 Ahmad Bradshaw, Ind RB $1

gotta love auction drafts
