QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 10:11 PM) David Wilson put up -3 points. I lost 99-97. Sudfeld hurt, but Wilson was the worst. You gonna try to pick up McGahee or anything? Not sure what to do about Wilson, definitely gonna bench him next week though.

I almost held off RG3. I had it won until he hit 300 yards on the last drive.

So ya... Gonna lose despite having Manning and Thomas

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 8, 2013 -> 02:59 PM) How many will be eliminated from Survival Pool if Buffalo holds on? A lot Id imagine. Im glad I ended up going with KC last minute, I was gonna go NE.

What a pass.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 8, 2013 -> 01:58 PM) Why did I bench Stevie Johnson I have him in a few leagues and played him in 1 or 2. idk why everyone was so down on him, have to figure Buffalo would be passing and rookie or not its not hard to get better QB play than Fitzpatrick.

It would be nice if they made an adjustment with the coverage on AJ Green

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 7, 2013 -> 02:06 PM) I'm contemplating Ballard because of Bradshaws ankle and he didnt play much in preseason. Ya this might be one of the few weeks you can even use Ballard so Id roll with him

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 7, 2013 -> 11:51 AM) Do I play Tavon Austin at flex in week 1 or wait and see with him? What are your other options and is it a ppr?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 03:29 PM) Thanks for the non-answer, sheesh I think I'm gonna go with Sudfeld because the guy I'm facing has a team that's pretty well loaded. Im assuming you drafted Sudfeld to use while Gronk was out. Hes only gonna be out a few weeks so you might as well use him while he has value.

Also, solid night for my talkbears keeper league team

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 12:14 AM) Bell is owned, but Harvin is a FA. However, I need the help now, not in Week 7. Man, my Soxtalk team is so much better than this other league, which sucks because I don't really care about my Soxtalk team. Ya I figured Bell would be owned, but he might be able to be had pretty cheap.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 5, 2013 -> 11:58 PM) Ok, what about this trade..... Aaron Rodgers and DeMarco Murray for Russell Wilson and Jamaal Charles. Or maybe.... Aaron Rodgers and Golden Tate for Russell Wilson and Vincent Jackson Trading for big names is tough. See if you can get someone like LeVeon Bell, most people think hes gonna be out for a while but hes probably gonna play week 2. As far as WRs go. You could snag Harvin and hope he plays in week 7 like he claims.

WHOOP DEMARYUS

Anyone else in a lot of (too many) leagues? I got carried away again this season and now its pretty annoying that Im inevitably going against everyone that is also on my roster. I have Peyton in 3 leagues, which is obviously working out, but Im also going against him in 2.

Welkers getting the same targets he did in NE except hes also getting red zone looks. If they keep that up hes gonna have a career year.

THE 49ERS ARE THE BEST AND ALL U HATERZ ARE ABOUT TO FIND OUT WHY THE BEARS SUCK AND THE 49ERS ARE GOING TO WIN THE SUPERBOWL!!! ILL BE FIRST ROW OF THE 50 YARD LINE BECAUSE I HAVE SEASON TIX AND IM EVEN FLYING IN MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO WATCH THE NINERS TAKE THE FIRST STEP TO A SUPER BOWL

Nothing about Urlachers comments about faking injuries yet? No idea why he would say this publicly.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 2, 2013 -> 12:47 PM) Tommy Morrison former Heavyweight Champ was only 44. Tommy The Machine Gunn

Just did a 12 team draft. Im trying to get different players in most of my leagues. I picked 9th. Kaepernick Lynch, Wilson, Lacy, M. Bush, L. Bell Cobb, Wallace, T. Smith, Patterson, Dobson Cook, Sudfeld Houston D

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 29, 2013 -> 03:10 PM) What about jimmy graham with my second pick at 24? I took Graham in my first draft with the last pick in the 2nd round in a 12 teamer. Huge mistake. In 12 team leagues your first 3 picks basically need to be RB, RB, WR or possibly RB, WR, RB.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 03:52 PM) If I am remembering what you are referring to, that game was absolute crap, the physics engine was really bad and everything about it could have been compared to Madden 02. anyhow, competition is needed. Id imagine hes talking about Backbreaker. The physics engine was incredible but the rest of the game was garbage. They made a 2nd Backbreaker game with just skill events and it was actually a lot of fun. If EA could get their hands on that physics engine it could have the potential to be incredible.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 01:42 PM) Injuries do not always force you to sit. You guys should know that. But in a league like the NFL, even playing dinged up can produce terrible results. Look at the gamelogs if you don't believe me. Plus, we're arguing how taking those guys early over QBs is a very bad move as QBs are much more consistent than RBs, year to year in fantasy. The difference is the dropoff at each position. A few seasons ago, when QB had less depth, getting guys like Rodgers, Brady, Brees was a bigger deal because the dropoff from those guys was more significant. This year however, there are more QBs that you can be comfortable with using. Stafford- Can throw for 5000 yards and is throwing to Megatron Ryan- Has been consistently good for a few seasons. Romo- Can throw for 4500 yards and 30 tds. Also has Dez and Witten to throw to. Newton- Can throw for anywhere between 3500-4000 yards and 20+tds. Also can rush for 700 yards and add over 10 rushing TDs Throw in the younger guys like Luck, RG3, Wilson and Kaepernick with Brady, Rodgers, Manning, Brees etc and you can find a capable atarter for 10-12 fantasy teams. Rbs this season seem more thin. Every team has to start at least 2 RBs, most leagues have flex spots and can use 3 or 4 rb's. There arent 20 RBs you should feel good about starting every week. Here is how RBs breakdown to me PROVEN starting everydown back type guys: AP Foster McCoy Rice Martin Charles Lynch Richardson Morris Spiller Those are the guys Id feel ok about being the first back I took in a draft. Forte Ridley Gore SJax CJ These guys round out the proven backs who youd feel good about starting as a RB2. Wilson Miller Ivory Bush Lacy Bernard Richardson, D Bradshaw These are unknowns who have some good upside Murray MJD DMC Mathews These guys have the talent but are all pretty risky to count on. Mendenhall and Sproles are about all thats left worth noting. Thats about 15 backs you feel good about every week in leagues where teams are starting 3-4 backs the dropoff can be huge.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 12:35 PM) Adrian Peterson - Clear Cut #1 and Top 5 back - No argument there. Doug Martin - 2nd year RB - I'm weery LeSean McCoy - Usually is injured Marshawn Lynch - He's been a consistent top 5 back for the past 5 years Jamaal Charles - Came out of nowhere, already been injured Ray Rice - Only guy you can really make a case for given that he has no injury history and is multi-threat CJ Spiller - Fred Thomas Arian Foster - Oft Injured Trent Richardson - Got a lot of TDs, not that many yards Matt Forte - Michael Bush takes the TD Stevan Ridley - See my previous post on him. Any NE RB is never a good argument Alfred MOrris - I'll give you him because he was a workhorse, got the yards and TDs Maurice Jones-Drew - Downhill DeMarco Murray - What? As a Cowboys fan, I know he's not a good argument for fantasy FB. Heck, none have been since E. Smith. Look at his numbers Reggie Bush - Hell no Lamar Miller - What? Darren McFadden - Injury prone Minus about 4, all of those RBs either share touches because of talent or injury. Or never were that good like DeMarco Murray or Reggie Bush. Seriously, look up the numbers. Meanwhile, Matt Ryan will have another great year passing with his three receiving weapons and line and RB. Maybe you're in a different league because 2 points per game was not the different in any of my ESPN leagues. And also, consistency is huge in FF. You may have a QB who throws for 400 yards one week, then 100 the following. A guy like Brees will always get you 300 yards with the TDs. And more importantly, he'll be playing all game for you in the playoffs. Stafford throws for a lot of yards, but he also throws a lot of incompletions and picks. Again, maybe the scoring is different in your leagues, but I've never seen a team with Matt Stafford as their QB make it anywhere near the championship in anything. Adrian Peterson - Clear Cut #1 and Top 5 back - No argument there./// Agree, but if youre gonna mention other backs injuries cant forget APs injury too. Doug Martin - 2nd year RB - I'm weery//Martin gets all the carries, can catch the ball and plays in a weaker defensive division. He also single handidly won me a few games last season with insane numbers. LeSean McCoy - Usually is injured///In 3 of his 4 seasons hes played at least 15 games, with the odd year being last season. He will get the bulk of the eagles carries and can also catch passes. Hes 2 years removed from having 20 TDs in a season. If hes usually injured then so is AP Marshawn Lynch - He's been a consistent top 5 back for the past 5 years///Not even close to true. Hes been great the past 2 seasons in Seattle, but the 3 seasons prior to that he averaged under 400 yards and 3 tds per season. Hes a stud now, but he didnt become a "first round" FF RB until last season. Jamaal Charles - Came out of nowhere, already been injured///Very similar to McCoy. Injured 2 seasons ago but other than that has been great, even on bad teams. Has had over 1275 yards in 3 of the last 4 seasons. Ray Rice - Only guy you can really make a case for given that he has no injury history and is multi-threat///Rice has been consistent, but he also loses a lot of value in non ppr formats. He rarely hits yardage bonuses and isnt a big time TD threat. Hes a good back to own and will go early in most drafts. CJ Spiller - Fred Thomas///Assuming you mean Fred Jackson. What about him? This is Spillers show now and if hes healthy he is poised to have a huge season. Arian Foster - Oft Injured///Hes missed 3 games the past 3 seasons since he became the starter. Hes good for 1400 rushing yards, 50 receptions, 500 receiving yards and 12+ TDs. Trent Richardson - Got a lot of TDs, not that many yards///As a rookie, on a bad team, with a rookie QB and no other weapons around him on offense he still had a very productive season. He also had over 50 catches. Hes a workhorse and in FF that has a lot of value. Matt Forte - Michael Bush takes the TD///Forte has been inconsistent in FF. He is similar to Ray Rice but hasnt had an OL or capable play caller until hopefully this season. In ppr format Forte should be going late first round and in standard format in the 2nd. Hes looked great so far this preseason and looks to be used better by Trestman. Stevan Ridley - See my previous post on him. Any NE RB is never a good argument///Normally Id agree. Ridley was used a lot last season and now the Pat's are without Welker, Lloyd, Hernandez and Gronk will be out for a while. He might not be a sure thing, but he has a lot of value and a huge upside. Alfred MOrris - I'll give you him because he was a workhorse, got the yards and TDs///I like Morris, I had him on all but one of my teams last season and he was great. I wish hed catch some passes but I cant complain with what I got from him. Maurice Jones-Drew - Downhill///Dont disagree too much here. He has defied the odds a few times in his career though. Hes been on bad teams every season and has still produced most of the time. DeMarco Murray - What? As a Cowboys fan, I know he's not a good argument for fantasy FB. Heck, none have been since E. Smith. Look at his numbers///He killed me last season. Id stay away from him early but he has an upside. Reggie Bush - Hell no///Tough to say what he will do this season. He could be like Sproles in NO but with more carries. Lamar Miller - What?///Hes gonna be their workhorse and get all the carries. They also added some other offensive weapons but Miller is gonna get the ball a lot. What he does with it remains to be seen but its better to have someone like Miller who you know will be getting touches than having someone who will only be relevant if there is an injury. Darren McFadden - Injury prone//Agreed, but he isnt a 1st or 2nd rounder anymore. I got him in the 7th round, after I had all my starting RBs/WR and Qb. If your team is relying on him as a starter you are probably in trouble, but in later rounds he has a lot of upside.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 27, 2013 -> 09:34 PM) How many teams? I can't imagine it's more than 10. It was 10. This is how the picks went. I was pissed because Romo went like 2 rounds after I took Stafford and I would have preferred him but I didnt even know he was still available because of the way yahoo ranks players.
