QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Sep 14, 2016 -> 03:55 PM) Guys I have a WR2 Logjam but with crappy receivers. My #1 is Dez who last week has left me doubting his ability to put up #1 numbers if Prescott is starting. But my #2 is a tossup between a banged up Sanu,a banged up Wheaton, Tajae Sharp, Eli Rodgers, and Michael Thomas. Any help here? Sanu if hes playing followed by Sharpe, Thomas, Rogers, Wheaton Thomas is probably the play this week over Sanu regardless.. That Giants/Saints game should be a big time shootout

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 13, 2016 -> 11:05 PM) Any recommendations for some sites that I can read about sleepers/faab/projections etc. I just like to have a variety of places so wondering what other people use. Fantasy Football Today fftoday.com Pretty decent site

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 13, 2016 -> 12:05 PM) Gotta drop somebody. I have Jeremy Hill, Stephon Diggs, Dwayne Allen, T.J. Yeldon and Henry on my bench. Oh, I do have Josh Gordon too but I don't know if I wanna waive him. I think he's going to help me as soon as he's back from suspension. Then quite honestly, im not sure I make any moves. TJ Yeldon would probably be the guy I send packing if you were to make any moves. He was not very impressive Sunday and once Ivory gets back I am not sure how useful he is going to be fantasy wise. I would probably sit tight if I were you.. sounds like your team killed it this week and your bench looks pretty strong

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 13, 2016 -> 05:40 AM) I'm in the same boat with the #1 waiver claim. I'm going to drop Derrick Henry. I need a backup QB but not till week 4 which is Rodgers bye week (Stafford is actually available in my league). I don't think I wanna use it on a QB though even though I should jump on Stafford. I need a RB after Bell comes back in a couple weeks (I'm weak there especially now with Freeman looking like a RB2, so I pretty much just have Forte) so I'm looking at Theo Reddick. BUT, Will Fuller is looking awfully attractive. I might just pick that kid up. He looked amazing against the Bears. I'm going to possibly shop Gronk this week. Maybe even Rodgers if I decide to just take Stafford. Carl, any advise bro? Don't waste the #1 waiver claim on a QB, you just need a one week fill in PPR league? Riddick would be a solid get.. Same with Fuller. I wouldn't drop Henry just yet Prolly wouldnt trade Gronk either, but of course that depends on what the return would be.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 09:41 PM) Welp, had I played Melvin Gordon...or Isiah Crowell (wasn't really even considering it though), or even Doug Baldwin, they all outscored Decker, I would be sitting really comfortably heading in to MNF. But instead, I hold on to a 12.9 pt lead and he has Pierre Garcon left. Still not terribly worried, but one TD by Garcon and I could be screwed. Picking up Ebron worked out well for me. Garcon would need 70 yards and a TD to beat you.. He had over 70 yards only 3 times in 16 games last season and never scored more than 1 TD in any game.. the combo of 70 yards and 1 TD happened just one time.. It would be shocking, to say the least, if Garcon has 70+ yards and a TD tonight.. I think you're good. A little more digging.. in the last 32 games he had a stat line of 70+ yards and 1 TD in only 3 games (Two of those against division rival Eagles).. recent history says he has about a 10% chance at hitting those numbers. Hopefully I did not just jynx you. I am going to be 5-0 in my leagues after tonight, but unfortunately will be losing Keenan Allen in two of them.. that's a tough one

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 10, 2016 -> 10:28 PM) Punk got smoked I think that's putting it lightly. To quote grandmas boy, that was like if Tyson fought an infant

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 06:41 PM) I'm just not very good. I'm only a casual football fan and do fantasy with friends for fun. I don't do mock drafts or much research or anything, just a couple articles an hour before the draft and that's it. But it's fun to have a rooting interest outside of just my favorite team. A guy at work talked me out of my Keenan Allen for Doug Martin trade, so I cancelled that one. Maybe I should just post the roster of the guy who wants to trade with me and you guys will have better suggestions for a trade. The best part about fantasy football, outside of winning money, is having a rooting interest in almost every game. Im guessing your league settings, but heres what I would do QB: Matthew Stafford RB: Latavius Murray RB: Melvin Gordon WR: DeAndre Hopkins WR: Keenan Allen TE: Rob Gronkowski Flex: Eric Decker K: Cairo Santos DEF: Seattle Bench: Doug Baldwin, Sea WR Bench: Tom Brady, NE QB Bench: Giovani Bernard, Cin RB Bench: Allen Hurns, Jax WR Bench: Isaiah Crowell, Cle RB Bench: Bilal Powell, NYJ RB Bench: Dorial Green-Beckham, Phi WR Ideally, you want Latavius Murray as your RB2.. I would try to use Doug Baldwin and Allen Hurns to get Doug Martin..If he wants Keenan Allen, it needs to be for David Johnson.. Id try Keenan Allen and Doug Baldwin for David Johnson in that case.. this way, you get a high end RB1 and move Murray to RB 2, Decker can slot in just fine as your WR2 and then you can play matchups for your flex. If Spencer Ware is a free agent in your league, drop Powell and pick him up.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 01:35 PM) 12 Team PPR League QB-Ben Roth RB-Lamar Miller RB-Matt Forte WR-Dez Bryant WR-Keenan Allen TE-Delanie Walker FLEX-Danny Woodhead DEF-Broncos K-Stephen Gostkowski Bench: QB-Andy Dalton WR-Michael Sanu WR-Michael Thomas WR-Markus Wheaton RB-Theo Riddick RB-Jerick McKinnon TE-Jordan Cameron I really feel like my Flex spot is my weakest right now but I'm not sure who will emerge as my top FLEX candidate from what I have, hopefully I fine a QB hungry team that I can dangle Dalton out too if he continues playing the way he did last year. EDIT: Oh and any feedback would be welcome! Outside of Big Ben and Romoless Dez I like it Danny Woodhead is a rock solid RB2, and hes your flex. I wouldnt say you are weak at flex. Ben Roethlisberger is overrated. His 2014 was very nice, however hes really just a 4200 yard 25 TD guy treated like some high end fantasy QB. You can get those numbers from Ryan Tannehill and hes barely even being drafted

QUOTE (kevo880 @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 12:09 PM) I'm curious on people's thoughts on Allen at TE, too. He's available for me to pick up in .5 ppr league. I rolled the dice on Cook as I have a good feeling about him in GB. Zach Miller and our favorite Martellus Bennett are also available. What do you guys think? Allens probably not gonna be a good PPR play, but he should be in line for a decent amount of goalline looks and could be a 10 TD TE which is pretty valuable in any format

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 02:36 PM) What's everyone's take on the Titans' backfield? I have avoided it like the plague but I think as a whole, they should be very productive. Murray isn't done yet and you have to love the way Henry runs. I like Mariota, Sharpe and Walker in Tennessee though. That's a sneaky offense IMO. Walker is second to only Gronk at TE as far as I am concerned. Big fan of Jordan Reed but it should be tough to repeat his TD numbers from last year. Walker just seems like a better value vs. Reed when considering ADP. Im getting Demarco Murray everywhere I can.. Hes clearly the #1 guy in an offense that wants to run run run. Henry doesnt scare me away, he can still get his share of carries and keep Murray in high end RB2 status

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 07:35 AM) My 16 team league team..l QB Russell Wilson WR Dez Bryant WR Malcolm Floyd RB Devonta Freeman RB Matt Jones TE Dwayne Allen FLEX Crabtree K Vinitieri DEF Seattle Bench: Ajayi, Devontae Booker, Christine Michael, Tajae Sharpe Michael Floyd? Malcolm Floyd is retired.......

Alright im going to lay out my teams here and try to keep tabs on it as the season goes along. I won 4 of my 8 leagues last year, looking to have another nice payday repeat this year. Not listing my benches, only week 1 starting lineups 12 Team PPR QB: Russel Wilson RB: Giovani Bernard RB: Duke Johnson WR: Antonio Brown WR: Keenan Allen WR: Brandin Cooks TE: Jason Witten Flex: Golden Tate 12 Team PPR QB: Drew Brees RB: Mark Ingram RB: Latavius Murray/Spencer Ware (Havent decided yet) WR: Odell Beckham WR: Jordy Nelson TE: Jason Witten Flex: Jeremy Maclin 12 Team PPR QB: Matthew Stafford RB: LeVeon Bell RB: Devonta Freeman WR: Demaryius Thomas WR: Marvin Jones TE: Delanie Walker Flex: Demarco Murray Flex: Danny Woodhead 12 Team PPR QB: Eli Manning RB: Devonta Freeman RB: Demarco Murray WR: Antonio Brown WR: Keenan Allen TE: Julius Thomas Flex: Jeremy Maclin 12 Team Standard QB: Matthew Stafford RB: LeVeon Bell RB: Ezekiel Elliot WR: Demaryius Thomas WR: TY Hilton TE: Zach Ertz Flex: Demarco Murray

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 04:36 PM) It is NOT PPR. Scoring is the same for both positions, except RBs get an extra point for 200+ yard games. Ugh, why the hell did you go WR heavy in a NON PPR league? Based off your posts in here, im going to assume you're either new to fantasy or just not very good. 10 DeAndre Hopkins, Hou WR 11 Rob Gronkowski, NE TE 30 Keenan Allen, SD WR 31 Doug Baldwin, Sea WR 50 Latavius Murray, Oak RB 51 Eric Decker, NYJ WR 70 Melvin Gordon, SD RB 71 Tom Brady, NE QB 90 Giovani Bernard, Cin RB 91 Allen Hurns, Jax WR 110 Isaiah Crowell, Cle RB 111 Seahawks D/ST D/ST 130 Matthew Stafford, Det QB 131 Bilal Powell, NYJ RB 150 Dorial Green-Beckham, Phi WR 151 Cairo Santos, KC K Please trade Keenan Allen for David Johnson as fast as you can if he will do it. Keenan Allens only value is in PPR leagues. Hes going to catch 100+ balls but hes prolly a 1200 yard 8 TD guy which makes him not much better than Hurns/Decker in a standard league setting.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Aug 29, 2016 -> 12:24 AM) Man, I'm so tempted to go WR/RB heavy early and then take Prescott later. But that is so risky. Ahhhh. There's no reason to take Prescott at all, you can get better QBs than him waiting just as long. Stafford, Winston, Cousins are all guys that could finish in the top 8 for QB and you can take them round 10 or later.

QUOTE (SnB @ Aug 17, 2016 -> 04:07 PM) It's that time of year. I have a question for y'all. So I'm in a keeper league that's been around for years and we can trade draft picks. Last year, I traded my 2016 3rd rd pick for Alshon. While it didn't work out, I still made it to the championship. In this league, you can pick your draft pick slot based on how you finished last year, so I have a decision to make: Do I: Go Early1/Late2/Late 4 or do I go Late1/Early2/Early4? My brain tells me to go w/ the late 1st round pick and hedge my bets against a bust, but my heart tells me to go #1, get AB and hope for the best. Thoughts? There is no bust factor for Antonio Brown outside of an injury, and history shows hes quite durable. If you have a chance to get the consensus #1 fantasy player, you have to do it.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 12:22 PM) SoI've entered myself into a 75 dollar league at work. Most I've ever spent on a league and ironically this year is the least I've been prepared. It's a PPR and a point(.5) per completion league, which I'm new to. So my question to you guys is who are some undervalued QBs in an offense that is gonna be throwing the ball a ton. When would you try to grab a QB in this type of league? 14 teams...... Matthew Stafford You can get him in the late rounds and from week 10 on last season he was about the 4th best QB in terms of fantasy. This season, he has a very favorable QB schedule and plays 13 of his 16 games inside a dome where he plays better. They are also likely to be one of the top passing teams in the league.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Aug 12, 2016 -> 12:22 PM) Right, my idea was exploring to build up your ship and find a habitable planet, but then once you do, staking claim to that planet and colonizing. Maybe continuing to explore other planets to capture animals that you may want to either let breed or let populate your new planet, having to balance a proper food chain and ecosystem for them, recovering fauna from other planets and possibly engineering ways to transplant them to your new planet as well, build up a colony that's inviting enough that when random computer generated people visit your planet, they offer you a price to own a part of your planet's land. You use that money to build up and trade for other parts you'll need to start farming or building shelters for these people. Then, the people who have bought land from you, their land starts to build up automatically with houses and farming and whatever else over time, that way the people who are cohabitating with you help build up your planet as well. I know know, just spitballing here. And then what, you all just sit there on that planet and go to work maybe have a beer at the bar then go home and do taxes? Now that is lame. Havent gotten the game yet, but definitely plan on it. The point of the game is to get to the center of the universe or some s***, its not as pointless as described in here there are things to do for specific reasons.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 07:10 PM) I'd like to just know this simple question. I'm not even expecting any examples of trades or FA signings, just an overall idea. How does this team improve for 2017? Enough not to be mired in mediocrity and making a run worthwhile Catcher: We need one of those First Base: We need one of these Second Base: Lawrie Shortstop: Anderson Third Base: Frazier Left Field: Cabrera Center Field: We need one of those Right Field: Eaton DH: Abreu We need 3 MLB quality starters, not JB Shucks and Tyler Saladinos.. that's a tall order for one offseason and a weak FA class. Outside of Frazier, this team has no power. This is just a bad offense that needs a lot more work than can be done in one offseason. SP: Sale SP: Quintana SP: Rodon SP: Shields SP: Gonzalez CL: Robertson Pitching, starting rotation good but the bullpen needs a little work.. All in all, there's too much work to be done for this team to be good enough to make the playoffs in 2017

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 07:04 PM) You're always defending the White Sox, but here, it's indefensible. So let's assume Sale and Q were not receiving the return value they expected. Ok, now what about Robertson, Cabrera, Eaton, Gonzalez, Shields? None of them were receiving interest? I can't believe it. Are we to believe trading Duke was the ONLY deal we thought worthy? They screwed themselves publically acknowledging this team was mediocre, then doing nothing to change it. Worst part about all of this

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 06:46 PM) I can't think of any reason not to trade Melky, Robertson, Gonzalez, or Shields. I guess Frazier you could hope he rebounds to finish the year and sell in the offseason but no reason with the others. The reason is the front office is still hanging onto the false hope this team can make the playoffs this year or next.

Oh geez, come on guys.. Don't even torture yourselves thinking that Robin, Kenny, AND Hahn are all going to be gone at the end of the year..

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 04:44 PM) Per Hahn, we are no longer "mired in mediocrity," we are now "middle of the pack." must have hired a PR firm. Tell you what, I would be handling this a lot better had he never come out and said this was a mediocre team.. at least then I could say "This dummy really thinks this team has a chance." Now I have to spend the rest of the season watching this mediocre team and knowing the front office just said "Eh, what are ya gonna do?"

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 04:24 PM) You pretty much have to trade Sale when your ML squad can't score enough runs play .500 ball, you have no offensive talent in your farm system, and you don't have the money to fill the holes via free agency. If you can deal Sale and Melky for Bradley or Betts, plus two other Top 5 prospects in the Red Sox system, you have better chance of competing in 2018 without Sale than you do with him and the current cast of aging mediocrity around him. If the Sox couldn't even get 4-5 of the Red Sox top prospects for Sale, what makes you think Sale and Melky gets you, not only, Bradley or Betts BUT ALSO 2 other top 5 prospects? Im really not trying to argue you with you, I am just flustered from this deadline where we took a step back and accepted being mediocre for the second year in a row.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) I feel like I'm experiencing an alternate reality or something. You guys are acting like this team is 20 games under .500 and has a bunch of pending free agents. Again, I understand the opinion that the team should rebuild, but I don't understand why everyone is acting like it's unbelievable that they aren't selling. It's very believable. They didn't "blow" anything, they just made a different decision than you wanted. Well, we are 28-44 since starting out 23-10.. 16 games under .500, I know its not quite 20 but well be there soon enough with this brutal stretch we have coming up. Its very unbelievable that they aren't selling.. Almost as unbelievable as someone saying "You guys are acting like this team is 20 games under .500" when that is pretty much EXACTLY what we've been watching since May 10th..

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 04:15 PM) What happened to Pokemon Go? They screwed it up big time.. I am having CP 15 pokemon escape and run away non stop now.. They obviously tweaked some values because its definitely much tougher than it use to be
