chw42 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Made the playoffs in my main league, looking to score a bye by winning this week. Fighting for the last spot in my work league. Hopelessly out of contention in my money league though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Second year in a row, I lose top guys and have a mediocre season. I wish that I had a crystal ball sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'm in a Survivor League with 5 people left. I'm between Oakland at home vs Buffalo and Green Bay home vs Houston this week. Not sure who I'm going to take. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakland is a slightly better choice since they have a better record this season, but either choice is a good one, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R U Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 30, 2016 -> 01:53 PM) 1/2 PPR and I need a WR2 and a FLEX after losing AJ Green. I have: WR Tyrell Williams vs TB (labrum issue, is said to play) WR Tyreek Hill @ ATL RB Devontae Booker @ JAX RB Rob Kelley @ ARI I also have Dion Lewis and Marquess Wilson but I'm not really considering them. Probably won't play Kelley either. What say you ST? Start both WR's, Williams as WR2 and Hill as flex If for some reason Williams cant go I go Hill and Booker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Would it be better to roster Adrian Peterson (I just won the claim on him), or add Alfred Morris as a handcuff to Ezekiel Elliot? I know on Matthew Berry's fantasy show they have been saying you need to handcuff Elliot with Morris, but I'm not experienced enough with fantasy to understand why, other than the *potential* for injury I guess? In which case, wouldn't that have been the idea all season? Or is it because all the byes are done, your bench should be differently? Anyway, they even explicitly said in the video that handcuffing Elliot with Morris is a better idea than rostering Peterson, but I just see that as trading a potential weapon for safety net. Of course, I could just drop Crowell who has been god awful recently, or drop Jared Cook in hopes that Gronk will play Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Gronk was kind of the ultimate in busts this season. 3 games where he was basically a decoy and/or got injured during and that's not counting the time he just flat out missed. Those fake 3 games he "played" in though could cost me in a couple of leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously losing Gronk sucks big time. My hard decision this week is deciding to play Matthew Stafford (versus the Saints) or Tom Brady (versus the Rams). Stafford projected for 15.3, Brady for 15. Also, then Jarvis Landry or Boldin? or Malcolm Mitchell? I have Boldin in there currently.

Hopefully Stafford finds him down the stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 3, 2016 -> 01:25 PM) I have no idea what to do here. I need to fill the following positions RB2, FLEX1 and FLEX2. Standard league. I have: RB Frank Gore @ NYJ RB Todd Gurley @ NE WR Sammy Watkins @ OAK WR Davante Adams vs. HOU WR Kelvin Benjamin @ SEA RB James Starks vs. HOU I am basically not even considering Benjamin and Starks. Pretty much set on starting Gore if Luck starts. Gurley hasn't been getting TDs but he gets his yards every game because of the volume. I have to start playing Adams but he has a less than desirable matchup in Houston. I feel like Watkins will go off against a suspect secondary. Advice needed... I'd go with Gore, Gurley, Adams You could probably sub out Gore for Watkins, but Watkins has already missed practice time this week with pain issues. Not sure that guys trust worthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I hate Rex Ryan and I hate Mike Gillislee. Shady could have 2 TDs right now, but got both vultured after he got them into the red zone on both drives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I'm 7-6 on the year, and barely snuck in to playoffs. Had I swapped schedules with the guy with the #1 seed, I would be 12-1. I had the most Points Against, despite having the 2nd most Points For. A really good week is scoring 90+, scoring 100+ almost guarantees a victory. 5 of my 6 losses, I scored 97+, and a couple of them I scored 110+.

SoxAce Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Matt Forte needed one f***ing yard for me to get the win and the Jets bench him the rest of the way. Sigh.. well fell to 10-3 and 2nd place but my team doesn't look so dominant without Green and Gronk now. Wouldn't shock me if I got bounced 1st round in 2 weeks.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Cooper dropping a duece for my opponent gave me a solid 15-point projected cushion. But I do have a lot of risky plays and toss ups this week, my first week of playoffs... Baldwin (7.9), Mitchell (7.4), Marshall (7.1), and Landry (7.0). For my 2 WR slots, I picked Baldwin and Mitchell. I also have a flex spot to consider. I either do Marshall or Landry from above, or I do Isiah Crowell (10.0). I have Crowell in there now, but he has been so, so bad over the past 4 weeks that he NEVER reaches his projection. Blaah. Then I have the decision of defense, either Jets (11.4) or Seahawks (10.0). Currently have Jets in there, but I feel Seahawks might be safer play. THEN I have a QB controversy as well....I have Brady (14.4), Newton (15.3) or Stafford (14.6). I currenly have Brady in there for the safe play, but Cam vs SD is enticing. Thank god I have a 15 point projected cushion because I could easily f*** this up by picking wrong.

Rowand44 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) So I've clinched a playoff spot in 3 of 4 my leagues. Unfortunately my main league and the only one I really care about I'm in a win and I'm in/lose and I'm out game this week. Soooooo: Stafford or Ben and Martellus or Fleener? Yes the tight end options are awful, blame Gronk. Edited December 11, 2016 by Rowand44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might start him instead even if Julio does play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
