So DeMarco Murray got just enough to beat me... lost be 1.5 points and had 80+ points on my bench + the defense I dropped got 20 more than my defense. Fell to last place. Fuck.

Trying to pick up Brandon LaFell on waivers. I'm a Pats fan so I have been hesitant to grab him because I already have Gronk and Edelman and maybe it's too many eggs in one basket. Plus you never know with Bill... one week someone won't play many snaps and you have no idea why.

Edelman has been having weak production lately. A few notable dropped passes in the last two games as well.
 
Worth keeping Edelman around (PPR)? Or should I drop him for someone?

I tried trading him, but was blocked.
 
Martavis Bryant (WR, Pittsburgh Steelers)

OR

Donte Moncrief (WR, Indianapolis Colts)




Who would be the better waiver wire pickup?
 
Is Theo Riddick worth picking up in a dynasty league?

I see he's had some usage but I'm not sure how committed Detriot is Bell..I know Bush is gone at the end of the year.

Bryant. Better chance at a starting role. When Wayne comes back I can see Moncrief as the #3, and even then maybe not. Hakeem Nicks is still outsnapping him.

I'm not a Dynasty guy... but Bell is their hammer back, his role is secure. I could see Riddick being the new passing down back next year and dropping Bush though, Lions already will mix Theo in with Bush on passing downs once Reggie is healthy.

Cool...Sounds like Riddick may have a future so I'll give him a shot.
 
So with Matt Forte on a bye I'm scrambling for an RB2, do I keep DeAngelo Williams in there, start Tre Mason instead? Or take out Williams, risk him not playing well/significant touches tomorrow night, and wait to see if Doug Martin plays and pick up Bobby Rainey.(I picked up Charles Sims and put him on my IR) if I have to I'll get Lorenzo Taliaferro or someone else off waivers.

Start Tre Mason instead? Nope, unless you feel Rams will play from ahead or tied most of the game.
Or take out Williams, risk him not playing well/significant touches tomorrow night, and wait to see if Doug Martin plays and pick up Bobby Rainey.(I picked up Charles Sims and put him on my IR) Martin should be out, and Rainey and Sims (if he plays) are decent options.
if I have to I'll get Lorenzo Taliaferro or someone else off waivers. - ehhh

I'm playing it extra safe and picked up Bobby Rainey, I'll look for news to see who's going to be getting the majority of the carries, I'm also thinking about if I should go with Frank Gore this week at a FLEX or not.
 
I have Nick Foles and Russel Wilson for QB. I've been playing Wilson, but he's been a almost total failure, while Foles has been more consistent.

However Seattle is playing the Raiders this week, do I stick with Wilson one more week?
 
My RB situation is all sorts of fucked atm. For a RB2 my options are Tre Mason (v. SF), Benny Cunningham (v. SF), Carlos Hyde (@ STL), and Bryce Brown (on bye)... There's nothing on the wire besides Stacy and M. Ball... Who should I start with Foster this week?

... If you think Wilson has been a failure trade him. That's all I can say. I literally don't know what scoring rules your league has for him to be a "almost total failure". Michael Floyd is a failure. RGIII is a failure (though he's back now and may do well). Montee Ball is a COMPLETE failure. You just kinda put Russell Wilson in that category... :(

i dont even

Like I said if you think Rams will keep game close/be ahead most of the game play Mason. If your league does return yardage Benny gets a bump up. Monitor the RBs again, injury issues can pop up.
 
Any thoughts on Drew Brees vs. Russell Wilson this week? Wilson is averaging more per game, but has been up and down the last few weeks (35, 10, 38, 12 in my league). Brees is a bit more consistent. Wilson is at home against the Raiders, Brees away at Carolina. I'm always a little nervous about Thursday games too. This might seem like a silly question, but Wilson has outscored Brees most weeks this season in my league.

I'm not sure it matters because I'm in a tough spot because of bye weeks (Jordy, Golden Tate and Martellus Bennett all on bye), but I figured I'd give this thread a shot.
 
I'm leaning towards Eli. He might have a big game against the Colts (Big Ben Numbers?) but I doubt the Colts will repeat it. Nick might pull in big numbers through Maclin but he threw two interceptions in the last three games.

Standard league, btw.

I like Eli. They're going to have to throw a ton and Giants receivers aren't chopped liver.
 
Alright guys, I need some serious recommendations on my line up this week as it pertains to my RB/WR/Flex spots.

Here is who I have:

WR:
Desean Jackson vs Min
Mohammed Sanu vs Jax
John Brown vs Dal
Martavis Bryant vs Bal

RB:
Jerrick McKinnon vs Was
Andre Williams vs Ind
Denard Robinson vs Cin

All these guys for 3 WR, 2 RB and 1 Flex.

What do you say?

Only that 3rd WR spot would be tough for me.
Play all three RBs, put Williams at FLEX, I think I go Bryant at the 3rd WR with Jackson and Sanu.
 
Oh man I dun goofed. I was in a position where I had to cut Reggie Bush to get a running back that was healthy and not on bye this weekend so I picked up DeAngelo Williams and played him last night. Yep.
 
.5PPR bye week replacement. Currently starting Vick, debating Wheedon, other options are Bortles or Adams.

People hoard QBs in this league.
