I'm 6-3 with the 5th most points scored and 7th most points scored against me.

 

Started out with some tough luck, things have evened out a bit in the last few weeks.

Either I am the only honest guy here or I am the only one who sucks at fantasy football. I sure as hell aren't leading either of my leagues in scoring.

 

4-5 9th of 12 - 6th in points

4-5 8th of 10 - LAST in points

I have more teams than Im proud to admit and 2 of them have been out of it for 2 weeks so I just never mention them. I did a lot of drafts and basically tried to get different players in the first 2 rounds in every league, so the leagues where I ended up with David Wilson, Chris Johnson etc I dont even discuss here because I dont care about them anymore. Im looking at making the playoffs in 4-5 of 8 leagues the way it looks now.

Locker or Foles as a replacement for Rodgers?

Locker for reasons already stated.

Just fleeced some guy in my 2QB, 10 team traditional, no PPR.

 

QB's have big value and Romo is currently 3rd in ESPN leagues so I cashed in.

 

I traded:

Tony Romo

Larry Fitzgerald

For:

Eli Manning

Giovanni Bernard

Victor Cruz

 

I now have this as my lineup

 

QB1-Russell Wilson

QB2-Eli Manning

RB1-Arian Foster

RB2-Chris Johnson

WR1-DeSean Jackson

WR2-Victor Cruz

TE-Greg Olsen

FLEX-Gio Bernard

D/ST-Carolina

 

BENCH: Ben Tate, Roddy White, Steven Jackson, Harry Douglas, Chris Ivory, Jay Cutler.

 

My question is what should I target in a trade. I feel like Jackson-White-Ivory are going to ratchet up their value in the upcoming weeks.

 

What would you do if you were me? Look for a QB? TE? Trade a specific player like DeSean Jackson?

 

6-3 in 3rd gotta hold on. Ha

 

I'm having trouble understanding how you fleeced him in that deal.

Fleeced means you yourself downgrades your own team?

Agreed, especially in a non-PPR. I think I'd rather have Romo/Fitz to be honest.

Gresham downgraded to OUT today in practice. Anyone needing TE help should snag Eifert if hes available.

Quick, should I start Jordan Reed over Le'Veon Bell or Zac Stacy? Buffalo(Bell) and Indy(Zac) are both top 5 against the run, and Reed has been really good. Vernon Davis is my other TE

Zac Stacy has been pretty great

Ya. after Stacy ran wild on Seattle Id feel comfortable playing him vs any defense. Hes a must play to me at this point.

What about Bell vs Reed? Its a 2 flex league.

 

f***in A I forgot about Reggie Bush too.

 

I've got McCoy, Stacy, Bell, Johnson, and Bush for 2 RB and 2 Flex spots with Jordan Reed also as a possibility at flex.

 

 

Probably should look into making a trade.

Is it ppr?

yes'm

 

Think I'm benching Bell and Reed. Kinda wanted to start him just because he gave me something to watch today.

Id personally go with Bell but Im probably wrong per usual. He is normally good for 60 rushing yards and like 4 catches for 40 yards type deal and could easily get a td.

PPR league...need to play 2 RBs out of Ray Rice, Darren Sproles (return yards count), Ben Tate, Andre Ellington and Rashad Jennings. I have no idea who the best two are this week. Thoughts?

I'd go Tate and Sproles.

 

Ray Rice has destroyed my season.

Tell me about it, I also own Doug Martin on this team. Ugh.

If I wasn't already eliminated from the playoffs, I would be real pissed that I have Tavon Austin and his 31 pts at halftime on my bench right now.

Good night, sweet Arian Foster. My tough luck league gets even tougher luck. If MJD hadn't sort of rebroken out, I'd be in seriously deep doo doo. Luckily, I have Rivers and Newton and I'm going to try to trade one to get an impact player

Sigh, how do I forget to put in my defense? Arizona had a bye week last week, dumped whoever I had starting and somehow forgot to plug them back in.

 

Howie's Other Son....You're welcome.

It's not going to matter, trust me.

Just pick up Miami/TB/Houston/Dallas

Locker is playing the Jags while Foles has a much tougher matchup. I'd actually go Locker.

Thanks guys. negative points rule! :o

Should have listened to me, I said Foles.

So I'm benching Rice rest of season.
