Oh man, just checked my Soxtalk fantasy team. I'm killing it right now. Only person who has more than my 140 pts is the guy who had Peyton Manning and D. Thomas in that Denver game.

 

On that team I got Kaepernick, Adrian Peterson, Jason Witten, Reggie Wayne, and even Greg Zuerlein who led all kickers in pts so far.

I know what his line is. What I'm saying is that Bill Bel has a quick trigger when it comes to benching his RBs. Vereen could go ahead and have a fumble or dropped pass next week early in the game, then all of a sudden Ridley is back on the charts. In the end, there's no way to predict what Belicheck will do game to game. That's my point. You don't target players who play under those systems.

Hmm, except for last year when Ridley was like a top 10 back? Sure worked under that system.

 

Also, where most people drafted Vereen, he was a great value pick, not a ton of risk involved.

 

Boldin's going to be a top 3 WR this year when it's all said and done. He has the consistency to win you a fantasy chip, and now he has a dual threat QB and no other WR options on the team.

Yeah, no.

Cam Newton last year struggled hard until towards the end of the year when he actually put on a superman cape. Andy Dalton also struggled a little last year. And Ponder did as well after getting off to a hot start.

 

I'm quite underwhelmed by those examples. Andy Dalton had 7 more TD's, almost 200 more yards and improved his passer rating by 7 points from his rookie year. Cam's yardage numbers were basically identical and he had 5 fewer picks, though his TD's did go down (mostly on the ground). Christian Ponder, who cares? He shouldn't be on a roster unless it's a 2-QB league.

 

If anything, QB's that are fantasy-starter material seem to either hold steady or decrease their mistakes in their second year. I don't really see a noticeable trend though (unless you consider s***ty players continuing to be s***ty a trend).

That's me you're facing....If Roddy White was healthy the story might be different....I should get ~130pts which should give me the most amongst the losers and would have beaten most of the league..

Geeze...I pick the week to put up a ton of points but end up going against Victor Cruz and Peyton Manning.

True, but I also have Andre Johnson going tomorrow too. Either way, that's the downside of H2H play vs. points, sucks, but it tends to keep you in the competition longer.

David Wilson gets benched already...good thing the guy I'm playing had him. I was up 20 going up against Romo, Bryant, and Wilson. I had DeMarco Murray. Murray almost had more points than all 3 combined and I've pretty much won.

I also have McCoy going tomorrow. Way I see it if White was healthy both he and Matt Ryan could have gotten me ~15 more points(combined) and then I'd just have to get 5.6 more points in the McCoy vs Johnson battle which is completely possible....Oh well though, I'll take the loss, nothing I can do about injuries or the Packers s***ty secondary lol

Well shoot, Fell asleep in the 3rd last night, in control. Wake up and see Eli and Witten went off. Down 2 heading to tonight.

 

I have Alfred Morris, he has McCoy.

 

Even if I lose, I'm not discouraged. If I played anyone else, I wouldve won this week and will be just fine the rest of the way, I believe.

Austin doing better than Givens today.

 

Neither played particularly well and one of them was blanketed by the top CB in the league all day

Also, isn't it amazing what happens when Larry Fitzgerald has someone to throw him the ball again?

I need 34 points from Alfred Morris and Randy Bullock tonight. Yeah....yeah.

The team I played this week had P. Manning, Peterson and Green. Those three combined for 12 touchdowns.

 

I lost by over 100 points.

Vereen out a few weeks with a broken bone in his wrist. Ridley should be back to being the feature back.

Should have traded him during the game!

So ya...

 

 

Gonna lose despite having Manning and Thomas

Considering you got -2.1 points out of two of your players...holy crap.

Sudfeld and Wilson killed me too (while Boldin and his 39 sat on my bench), and I still have a chance, albeit a very small one. I am down 90-59, he has Alfred Morris and I have Vick and Garcon. I basically need 45 combined from them and then I have to hope that Morris doesn't go for more than 80 and a touch

Austin will get better every week. Givens targets will go down going forward.

Based on what?

 

Also, why the hell would someone start any defense playing New Orleans?

BTW, TRU...Cam Newton put up 12 against Seattle. Vick has 13 through a quarter and a half

20 at half time

RGIII looking hesitant.

The scariest part for RGIII is that he seems to have a problem planting and throwing, hes kind of just flicking the ball.

No velocity at all, but he's looking better this half
