Clinched my playoff spot today. Now I just need a W to win my division and some $$.

 

[SP33Demon]

I think you're underestimating how good SF is. They are #5 in graded Run D and #2 in Pass coverage and slightly better than Seattle. Their only weakness is Pass Rush and they just got back 2013's #5 Pass Rushing OLB in Smith. Not to mention Smith can stone the run as well, which means Eli will be forced to throw to shitty receivers like Randle (-1.6) and Parker (+0.4); Beckham/Donnell could get some but probably not enough to sustain drives. BTW Donnell really needs to learn how to run block, terrible.

I'm not betting on Eli under those conditions - I'd actually take my chances against bottom 1/3 defenses with McCown vs Skins secondary or Teddy vs the flailing Bears defense. Eli vs the #7 overall D would give me a heart attack.

Heh, happened just like I predicted. Although didn't see a whopping 5 picks, hot dam. McCown blew up but Chicago D finally showed up to stop someone.

Moved into 4th place/12 due to a longshot pickup of Alfred Blue. Thank you Arian! This year has been kind to us waiver wire hounds.

Don't forget Brandon Cooks broke his finger as well.

Yahoo just told me. 4-6 is game over for fantasy seasons.

Julian Edelman and Allen Hurns for Pierre Garcon and Andre Johnson. I'm getting Edelman and Hurns. Good for me?

 

[slayer202]

I guess this trade worked out well for me

DANS traded Brandon Marshall, Chi WR to 202
202 traded Ahmad Bradshaw*, Ind RB to DANS
202 traded Brandin Cooks*, NO WR to DANS

 

[EvilYoda]

LOL, slayer202...I but DANS is really happy with you right now. Wow.

I don't know - the big question is how you feel about the relationship between AJ and Mallett. Hurns is going to be the #2 for Jax and Edelman reportedly got hurt last night, so you'll have to wager how he's going to feel.

Wow. Football god hate u.

 

[slayer202]

To be fair, that trade was a few weeks ago, but still

 

[dougp]

Wow. Football god hate u.

No, the football gods hate DANS.

 

[T2urtle]

No, the football gods hate DANS.

That's what I meant.

 

[ChAoTiCpInOy]

Who would you rather have for the rest of the season? Darren Sproles or Lamar Miller?

 

[T2urtle]

Sproles, if return yard/td counts.

Without that, Sproles if ppr.

 

[ChAoTiCpInOy]

Not PPR and only return TDs count.

Another advice request in a PPR. I won this week so I'll be 3rd in a 12 team league and have a good shot of making the playoffs. Debating whether to trade FJax (assuming he's playing next week) for a WR. My Current Team:

QB: Peyton
RB: Jamaal Charles, Arian Foster (Assuming he'll play next week)
WR: Crabtree, Hawkins, LaFell
TE: Antonio Gates
Flex: Jordan Reed
Bench: Andre Johnson, FJax, Branden Oliver, Knile Davis

I'll probably move Andre to a WR/Flex spot. My two options are:
Replace Crabtree with Andre and put FJax in Flex
Trade FJax to one of the teams which are hurting at RB (Bradshaw) for a better WR.

Thoughts? The situation obviously changes if Foster remains out but I'm assuming that he'll come back. Just hoping he can stay healthy for the rest of the season.

Lost by .28 points. Sankey and heath did more damage then bryant.

I lost by 1.02 and I had Bryant and Walker going into this game. Wasn't home in time to swap out Walker with Miller.

Well, with this week wrapped up, I want to know what everyone thinks about Josh Gordon...

He was back with the team as of today. I currently have Maclin, Odell Beckham Jr., and Kelvin Benjamin as my WRs. I have Doug Baldwin and DeAndre Hopkins on the bench (plus Gordon). I'm thin at RB, obviously...should I take one of my starters and make a package with 2 WRs, or maybe with Larry Donnell?

I have Demarco Murray as RB1...Jeremy Hill has done well but I'd hate to have to rely on him for more than a game at a time given the chance the Gio will return and split carries. Sankey did alright today with the TD but he's definitely my weakest link.

 

[rcpratt]

Glad I picked up Richardson Sunday morning just for depth. Should be a valuable trade piece.

Yeah, you should package someone up. Right now you could sell high on Maclin, OBJ isn't a sell high right now, and Benjamin has been consistent. I'd try to sell high on Baldwin after this week. I say keep the following players: Maclin, Benjamin, Hopkins, Gordon.

 

[pete6032]

Start Josh Gordon this week or wait one more week?

 

[slayer202]

unless you have another good option, start him
