Head-Case Fantasy Football

If New England were actually moving down the field, Edelman's stat line would be nuts. The 11/12/make that 13 catches work pretty well in PPR nonetheless.

Feels good to break 200 the first week in a 10 team league.

 

Don't expect that to be a common thing as the team is not as strong as it is showing this week.

I'll be lucky to break 100 each week with my team. 

[VPI]

Looks like I will start out 1-1 in both leagues.  League 1 I ended up with 78 on the bench so I got smoked by Salty.  League 2 I was high score for the week and had 70 on the bench but that is nothing compared to Tracy's 154 with 109 on the bench.  I am going to need to do some work to stay in contention in both leagues.

 

Oh yeah, if any of those Managers bemoaning that autodraft got them Lynch please let me know if you would like to get rid of him.  You definitely don't want him and I need RBs.

I'm so effing screwed at the RB position.  I think 3 of 5 are out for significant periods of time and one of the remaining has scored 0 points so far this year.  I look forward to being the league doormat.

[Aura]

You're probably still going to beat me this week Nate. My teams suck. Will be 1-1 in the 8 team and 0-2 in the 10 team. 

 

I guess my good luck from last year ran out.

[MoonShine]

Yeah I made a bad call with benching RG3 and Tavon in favor of Eli and Hakeem at the last minute.

Last time I ever listen to the "experts".

[Salt Peanuts]

^ In the defense of the "experts," RG3 played horrendously. He just happens to pick up some numbers during the garbage time - and, of course, fantasy doesn't care how the numbers are earned.

I was surprised that I pulled out a win in the League 1 with AP scoring only 9 points. Then there were my starting TEs - after scoring over 60 points combined last week, they couldn't crack double digit combined.

OK, I'm fine with Lynch but still complaining about being stuck with Brady.

I think we need to work on being more active in trades in our leagues.   Just had a large one in League Two but they are fairly rare.  Maybe if people would fill out their Trading Blocks it might encourage more trading?

[Aura]

If I lose this week in the 10 team league, I will probably blow up my team and will be ready to trade anyone/everyone.

[VPI]

Yeah my entire team on the 10 Team league is on the block.

[n_maher]

I got two proposals but they were so lopsided that there was no way that I was going to go through with them.  I mean seriously, no one should reasonably expect someone to trade a player averaging 24pts/week for two players that when combined don't even match that total, right? 

[VPI]

Everyone is searching for the Brents of the league that trade away their top 2 picks for midlevel picks.  \

 

That is the hardest thing about trading as the person proposing the trade has to be seeking an increase in production so they have to make trades that benefit themselves.

Well I might need a new running back depending on how soon Trent Richardson can catch a flight to Indy!...

The Colts run game just got very interesting:)...

[Salt Peanuts]

I still can't believe Colts just wasted a 1st round pick.

[raffy]

I disagree. They will get a late 1st round pick and who knows who that will be and what value that will provide. OTOH, the Colts will get a real running back that will open up the passing game more than Bradshaw, Ballard, etc.

[Salt Peanuts]

I just don't think he is a real running back, at least not one worth a 1st round pick. I also think the traded pick will be a mid-round, or earlier, as I fully expect Colts to do worse win-loss record-wise. One could argue that Richardson suffered behind a poor line (and in poor offense) in Cleveland, but Colts offensive line isn't anything to write home about either. Moreover, Colts probably could've gotten him with a lower round pick or two, though Irsay didn't help the matter by loudly tweeting they're in a market for a RB.

[raffy]

I get where you're coming from, I'm just at the opposite side of the fence. I think he's a real running back and even better, he's a bruiser who can catch the ball. Cleveland is just so horrible even Peterson would suffer in that offense. JMO, of course.

[Salt Peanuts]

Of course, from fantasy football standpoint, I hope the change of scenery does wonders for his performance.

/start rant

 

I have Lacy and started him last week. He gets injured on his first carry and Starks comes in and gets 130 yards and a TD. 

 

So I get Starks off waivers and start him because MJD is horrible this year. He goes out at the end of the first half and Franklin comes in and just got a TD as well.

 

FUCK THIS.

[shellylh]

Did I mention how *much* my team sucks:  74 points total this week (and nobody decent on the bench).   No doubt, I am shooting for last place this year.

I have Spiller...& I listened to Schefty's last minute report on Gio Bernard...

I also thought it'd be a good idea to sit Josh Gordon until he acclimates...heh...

I still think I have a good team...Even w/o Spiller & Bush...I just hope the kinks get worked out in time for me to make the playoffs...

hmph...

[n_maher]

I think lots of folks had rugged weeks.  Me: who'd have thought that the combo of Aaron Rogers and Brandon Marshall (my starters) would be outscored by Sidney Rice and Russel Wilson (bench) by 30 points. I'll be lucky to crack triple digits this week and baring a minimum of two miracles I'll lose in a big way.

Shelly, you will have a fight for last on your hands.  I will not make it easy. 

[shellylh]

Bring it on Mike.    I only beat you the first week because you had Boldin and Manning on your bench (with 39 and 38 points).
