It's been a strange season for QBs. Alot of up and down performances across the board, probably would have been better off just streaming week to week at the position. I'll take that to mind next season
That has always been my mind set. The normal 2-4 elites would average 30 and random streamer could pull me 20-45 any given week. I try to wait til I fill up most my roster before drafting a QB.

Rodgers and Rivers have been pretty consistent for me minus a rogue week here or there. In the league where I'm not killing it, I have Bortles who has also been serviceable and actually close to Arod's fantasy numbers (As of last week, Bortles was only behind by 1 point!).That has always been my mind set.

Also, word on the street is that Demarcus Ware is back. It could be a long day for Rivers if Denver's Talib and Chris Harris shut down the passing game while Von Miller/Ware terrorize that makeshift Oline. Usually Denver has been susceptible to TEs so it will interesting to see how Gates/Green do vs Denver's solid LBs. Either way, I'm streaming Hasslebeck (/gulp) instead.Assuming the Broncos attempt to replicate the rushing success of the last two games, in which their lead running back(s) rolled up 333 yards and three touchdowns on 62 handoffs (5.4 yards per carry), it will be up to the Chargers to drive play volume. With San Diego running nearly three fewer plays per game at home (2.9), and only using the no-huddle on 8.4 percent of plays – versus a meaty 47.7 percent in road games – that’s a shaky bet. Denver’s pass rush ranks second (+54.7) and their coverage is third-best (+28.1). It’s hard to imagine the Chargers breaking their home game slow-tempoed tendencies until they’re forced to.

Week 14 already, time to start counting up the busts of the season:
Carlos Hyde
Ben Roethlisberger
Jordan Matthews
Andrew Luck
Arian Foster
DeSean Jackson
CJ Anderson
I'll disagree with Roethlisberger. He shouldn't have been going in the top 5 rounds and has put up the points (in the games he played). The constant injuries has put a damper in things, but he APPEARS to be back for the playoffs. Arian Foster should have gone decently low as well and was a risk going in because of an existing injury. He wasn't even supposed to have come back so early.

In my 10-team league I drafted Foster in the 9th round. Roethlisberger was the 7th QB to be drafted, behind Luck, Rodgers, Wilson, Brees, Manning, and Brady.
Of the players I drafted, only four are still on my team.
Not sure what is wrong with this team. Even at the beginning with luck running the show.Dam Hasslebeck, I knew he couldn't continue the trend. What a trainwreck the Colts have become.
Grab Matt Stafford if he's on the wire. Last 3 games he's averaging 287 yards with a 7/1 TD-INT ratio. Plus his playoff schedule is nuts - weeks 14-16 @STL, @NO, v. SF. All dome games against very beatable and opponents and dodgy defenses. I'd be surprised if he puts up less than 30 fantasy points against the Saints week 15.
First week of playoffs and I have a number of very difficult matchups. Anyone care to comment on who to start? :|
Roethlisberger @ CAR or
Brees @ TB
Buck (Javorius) Allen (BAL) vs. SEA or
Jeremy Hill (CIN) vs. Pitt or
Shaun Draughn (SF) @ CLE or
Frank Gore (IND) @ JAX?
Amari Cooper (OAK) @ DEN or
John Brown (ARI) vs. MIN or
Doug Baldwin (SEA) @ BAL? or
DeSan Jackson (WAS) @ CHI?
For your RB pick it depends a lot on whether you're in a PPR or standard league. Standard it's Hill, but be aware that he may not be a factor if the Bengals are trailing and go pass heavy since Gio gets all that work. In PPR then Draughn has a much higher floor as he typically adds 5+ catches a game. His upside is he is the clear cut starter, but downside it's for on a bad team playing another bad team so he might not gather a lot of counting stats, especially if it winds up being a 3-0 final score shitshow.
I think Draughn will shred Cleveland. They have little left I play for and besides running, he is getting check downs.
Agreed and that's a likely scenario. Problem is that sometimes those demoralized, little left to play for teams decide to show up some random week and hang 40+ points on an equally hapless opponent. Draughn is averaging about 3 YPC and 50 YPG but adds another 5-6 receptions for ~40 yards. So under .25PPR scoring you're looking at around 10 points most likely scenario, low single digits worst case, and maybe mid teens to 20 if he gets bumped from ~15 carries to 25 and the Browns decide to mail it in. Not terrible, but Hill is far more likely to get a TD which makes it a closer choice.
wtf mark ingram, whyyyyyyyyyyyy?
I'm on a bye week but I grabbed both Hightower and spiller on the FA list. Hopefully this week will show me who is going to be used and I can plug them in next week.wtf mark ingram, whyyyyyyyyyyyy?
