I ended up playing Rivera. Not doing much for me though. I'm hoping for some garbage time points.

And there's that garbage time TD from Carr to Rivera!

I picked him up last week since Bennett was on a bye and he's been great 2 weeks in a row. TEs seem to be a young qb's best friend, especially on bad teams like Oakland. He seems to be becoming Carr's favorite target. The downside is that the raiders are prwttydb terrible, especially on offense, so you never know whey they are going to lay a complete egg.

Oh god....Martellus Bennett, or Greg Olsen. I have like 7 minutes to decide.
FUUUUUCCCCKKKKK.
FUUUUUCCCCKKKKK.
Looks like he could be. Solid production past few weeks, hopefully he'll stay consistent, jumped on that wagon as well.
Wtf happened in the Broncos-Raiders game? Check my team, Peyton's got negatives, "shit imma lose", check it by the end of the game he gets to 30 points. 5 TDs? Wha-how
Also, already trying to plan my waiver strategy for next week. Will Bryce Brown and C.J Anderson continue to lead their team's running game?

Why did Anderson get the RB work for the Broncos?
I really don't know, he got the most touches and appeared to have played the most in general, I was hoping someone watched that game or knows something most people don't.
Hillman didn't get hurt, did he?

Would you trade Gronk and Russ Wilson for Peyton and Greg Olsen?
I might hold off on that one. I made a similar trade before the year however, it's turning out in the other person's favor(I traded Stevan Ridley, Aaron Rodgers, Gronk, for Peyton, Jordan Cameron, and Victor Cruz.)

Hillman was dealing with a foot problem...and CJ was playing well, so they kept him in...

In a heartbeat. Gronk would be missed, but Wilson has been a horribly inconsistent performer this season. By contrast, Peyton is pretty much guaranteed points every week, and Olson, while not as solid as Gronk, still performs well.

Hillman injured his foot but was ok enough to play, but by then CJ Anderson was the "hot RB" and they decided to ride him.
In what world would you consider a matchup in the books when Rodgers hasn't played yet? He's one of the guys you expect that type of game from.
i wouldn't...just based off of their numbers alone this year, i think gronk and russ have bigger total point potential than pey pey and olsen.
PPR? No. Not PPR? Maybe
Gronk is having a huge surge recently and barring injuries it probably won't stop
Don't talk about Gronk getting hurt
We need him healthy to win another SBMy fantasy season has been shit too. First draft pick: AP... second Brees and I'm doing PPR for the first time so it was a huge mistake to take a QB that early. I'm 2 - 7 so my season is over

I'm not a Patriots fan but I really want them to win it this year tbh. All the naysaying in the beginning of the season was fucking ridiculous. It would be a nice narrative. I love a good narrative.
Last years superbowl was a GREAT narrative.

Is Terrance West worth picking up off waivers?
I need a backup RB now that Hillman has to compete with Ball again....will West see a lot of touches going forward?

I don't think Hillman will be competing with Ball. Just monitor his health. But all of the running backs are in the same situation. I'd rather have the RB on the better team.
Yea it was getting ridiculous. I always want the Pats to win obv but if not them this year then I hope the Cardinals. I like Bruce Arians he's a good coach
Wait, we were expecting 6 TDs out of him? I would've rethought my strategy for this week. Rodgers could've had a 25-30 fantasy point week and I would've won. Hell, I could still win and I'm leading by 8 with my kicker playing, and the other guy has Sproles and Jordan Mathews.
Would I expect him to put up 40+? No. Would I say I'd be shocked if it happened any given week? Not at all.
He's not Big Ben is all I'm saying. It isn't surprising.

I think you need to see the history of players in Fantasy Football who have put up 40 FP.
http://espn.go.com/fantasy/football...t-fantasy-football-performances-recent-memory --- scroll to chart at bottom
Those are guys since 1960 who have put up 45 points, not a long list. In the modern era? Even shorter.

Lynch was my MVP this week.
40 points from a RB. I am in awe.

Talk about lucking into a win.
My league had like no one scoring more than 85 points this week...except one game which is in the 140s. One team had Marshawn and Manning, the other had Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, and has Jordan Matthews. It is the bloodbath of bloodbaths.

I am leading by .04 points, and I'm terrified Cam is going to lose another ball to Philadelphia.
A lot of people play Yahoo leagues and you can customize point weights... so that list doesn't really reflect the scores everyone will see.
Rob Gronkowski had 46.9 points in my league a few weeks ago with PPR
And Ben Roethlisberger had 65.78 points a few weeks ago in my league
This is true as well. I suppose I don't play in any standard leagues. Standard is boring.

Michael Floyd or Mike Evans for a WR spot? Evans has been fire the last couple weeks while Floyd has been the complete opposite. Not sure if going from Palmer to Stanton is better or worse for him.]
Also picked up CJ Anderson in my league, but I'm not sure if I should start him in a flex spot over either Bishop Sankey or another wideout.

Need some advice for a trade. PPR league.
I get: T.Y. Hilton, Reggie Bush
Counter-party gets: Shane Vereen, Julian Edelman, Brandon Lafell
I originally proposed Vereen/Edelman/Philly D (which is #1 in our league), and he countered with the above. Was hoping to get some diversification away from so many Pats players and a legit #1 WR in Hilton. Also, was thinking Lafell is on the upswing while Edelman is on the downswing. With this counter, he'd take all my Pats players though.
The rest of my roster (sans players above) would be:
QB Matt Stafford
RB Lesean Mccoy
RB Jamaal Charles
WR DeAndre Hopkins
WR Martavis Bryant
TE Travis Kelce
FLEX Percy Harvin
D/ST Dolphins / Eagles
K Cody Parkey
Bench: RB Rashad Jennings, WR Michael Floyd, TE Mychal Rivera
I guess the way I see it is that I am trading 3 WR2/Flex type players for a WR1 and dead weight (Bush). I'm just outside of playoff contention right now (share a 5-5 record with 4 teams who are filling the last 2 playoff spots, but I'm out one of those spots because my total points are too low).

Mike Evans. Also monitor the Denver RB situation this week.
You can try to. Juilo did say he's over his lingering foot issue.

Rest of season pick two of the three:
RGIII
Kap
Cutler
RGIII
Kap
Cutler
Kap is going to be more consistant, but you are going to be starting Cutler most weeks anyway, and RG3 has higher upside.
Think I'm getting reamed on this trade proposal, but what do you guys think? Targeting Dez Bryant. Their counter offer was the following:
Antonio Gates + Justin Forsett for Dez Bryant
Forsett has been a rock for me, so I'm very unlikely to trade him off.
Rest of my team looks like this:
I'm trying to off load Greg Olsen and Steve Smith. Olsen is on a team where the offense is a mess and Smith just isn't producing. Very doubtful he'll go for either. What compromise is there, if any?
Antonio Gates + Justin Forsett for Dez Bryant

Solid team. I'd rather just hold onto Forsett since you're running Montee/Anderson at your FLEX. And your WRs are great right now. Dez isn't a huge upgrade over your currents WRs especially with Gordon coming back next week. Rashad should be good down the stretch. Roll with Jennings + Forsett as your RBs, Maclin + Gordon as your WR1/2. And rotate your FLEX with Martavis/Montee/Anderson depending on how they play. If anything use your bench to upgrade to a stud TE.

The Forsett/Gates trade seems about as fair as you're going to get. You aren't going to get Dez for a couple middling players like Olsen and Smith.
May have some trouble getting that TE, as both Gronk and Graham are owned by the same player and he has a really solid team. I'll see what I can do about sending a trade.
The offers on the table, should i accept?
