Would I be crazy to start DeAndre Hopkins today in my fantasy championship against the Ravens who are the #1 fantasy D against WR's with Case Keenum starting this week? ;o

I have no one else to start, and FA's are awful ;_;

Julio Jones is active...do I play him or Harry Douglas? Also have Josh Gordon...
Thanks!

Hard to say, I'd say Matt still looks for Julio over Harry.

As for Gordon, he's been awful the last 2 weeks, and until Manziel proves he can get it to Gordon he's a very risky play.

I think you gotta go Jones if he's active.

Started Branden Oliver last night because I saw Mathews was out. But what I didn't know at the time was that LeGarette Blount was out too. Wish I used that spot for Jonas Gray instead. :/ Ah well, at least Oliver did a little bit.

TY Hilton probably isn't gonna play, huh? I'm gonna be stuck with Larry Fitzgerald if that's the case. But I guess I may as well wait it out since none of my other options are very good and the free agent list is even worse.
 
Haha. I ended up going w/ Tannehill at the last minute.

Sanchez is so bad.

Sanchez ended up not having that bad of a game. Got me 20 points. I posted that after the first half, but he rallied a bit. Very good chance I picked right, as I don't see Wilson doing a lot of throwing today.
 
Ended up going Kelvin and Lafell over Sanders with Haden and Edelman out in those match ups. Hadn't sat Sanders all year hope it doesn't cost me my Bronze and my Championship. Could be classic over thinking things.
 
I'm down 22 in the championship game. I have manning and cj Anderson left. I'm expecting an injury or something on the first play
Technically, Manning is Questionable for tomorrow night. He may sit or get benched early like Luck if the game gets out of hand quick.
Then again, Anderson is quite capable of delivering 100 yards and 2 TDs on his own.
 
My game woudl be over with me as the winner if I had played Wilson instead of Sanchez. Who would have expected Wilson to have such a breakout game against Arizona.
 
Holy shit, I won my fantasy football league super bowl! The $600 pot will be dearly needed for Christmas gifts. Lynch's incredible TD run locked it up. I almost blew it too by starting Alex Smith over Rivers.

I'm so excited. And I'm so done with FF, lol. I can't wait to watch a football game without worrying about my players getting points. Thank you to everyone who gave me advice throughout the season!
 
Looks like I won my league!!!! I have a 37pt lead going into tomorrow. Demaryius Thomas and Jeremy Hill still to play, and all my opponent has left is Emmanuel Sanders....

Started season 2-4 and never lost another game!
 
Up by 7 and my opponent has the Denver defense. Another stressful Monday night game for me. This is when you start staring at your bench.
 
Should roll to an easy win in one league thanks to Tannehill and Lamar Miller, and the other I need Emmanuel Sanders to get less than 16 points
 
Starting Kelvin over Sanders may hurt, need DT to outscore Sanu and Green by 5 points tonight to clinch that win. Its doable since Dalton chokes in prime time so here's hoping.

Also have a 73 point lead in PPR with my opponent still having Hill and DT to go, I may have locked up that championship thanks to playing Russel over Sanchez (the inverse of Drforester's problem heh).

I'm jealous of rosters with OBJ, seems like across this thread, my leagues and people posting in /r/fantasyfootball that dude is on the roster in the championship match ups across all fantasy leagues. Him or Antonio Brown will probably be first WR off the board in drafts next season.
 
Had OBJ running in two championship games this weekend but don't be jealous as I've lost one matchup due to Andrew Luck and I'm on the verge of losing the other unless Hill and Barth outscore Manning by 13 points tonight.
 
Down 2, with PeyPey to go versus #2 seed's Sanu and J. Hill.

Gonna need Old Pey Pey to come back with a 5 passing TD effort.
 
Winning a championship in my first year of FF requires a true Christmas miracle. I need CJ Anderson to score 5 more points than Emmanuel Sanders and Jeremy Hill.
 
Barring DT fumbling the ball 6 times in the 4th quarter, I have won the consolation bracket in my league. I don't have to worry about how many points I lost playing Sanchez instead of Wilson yesterday.
 
I'm fucking speechless...

5 injuries to deal with
55 Acquisitions
6 trades

Fucking ridiculous season and I win by one point off of a Peyton Manning pick. It hasn't really sunk in yet. Can't believe it went down that way. I'm just kind of sitting here staring at the score.

Seems like they had......no Luck.
 
Congrats everyone who won!

October 15th, 2014. That was the day I picked up Odell beckham for my team. He had just come off a 2 point game against the Eagles. But I believed in him. I started him Immediately and he rewarded my faith in him. The rest is history.
 
So I haven't been doing much more than lurking in this thread, but now that I've won my league for another year, I'm considering ratcheting up the trash talk.

Honestly, I'm thinking of cutting a Titantron video set to Vince McMahon's music ("Cuz you've got... NO CHANCE... NO CHANCE IN HELLLLL") and using it to gloat for quite a while.

Thoughts?

Too much effort and kind of weird.

If it's a money league then post this gif on your message board:

Vinny Mac gifs are clutch and less is more.
 
So I guess Andrew Luck not scoring is just a thing that happens now... Fuckin sucks if you lost cause him that's horribly, unforgiving and unlucky.

A friend of mine lost his game by 4 points and I traded him Luck like 3 weeks ago. He's been kind of a bust compared to what he was earlier in the season. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that he and Rodgers cost a lot of people games during the playoffs.

Such a crazy season.
 
Congrats to everyone who won their leagues, or at least came in the money.

I ended up beating my brother in his league. I lucked out when Andrew and AJ both got zilch.

I lost my kicker/flex matchup for 3rd place in our keeper league. In hindsight I checked my optimal lineup for the week and wouldve scored like 160 lol.

Is it bad that i'm already really excited for next seasons draft lol?

Next year's drafts are going to be really interesting. WR is so deep and TE is a bust, with QB being all over the place.

I wonder if people have finally been scared away from the RB early position.

The fact that WR is so deep is why all the RB's are gonna go early

And Peyton even started underperforming towards the end. I've always hated the last few weeks, especially when starters start to sit and stuff.(didn't seem to happen yet though)

But yeah a pretty crazy season indeed. See y'all next year
 
I know I will be avoiding anything outside of the top 2 or 3 RBs. Much like this year, stacking late round fliers instead will pay off.
People are likely going to stick to familiar strategies. Searching the waiver wire for talent can work out but I'd rather go for a stud in the earlier rounds than count on that. Both risky but waiting for someone to emerge could lose you games in the beginning.

Plus it's fantasy football. Anything can happen.
 
Now we're officially in the off-season and I'm working on dynasty league offers. Here's one I made today as the person asked me to make an offer for Peyton Manning and Jordy Nelson.

I give:
Brees
Gio Bernard
Andre Ellington

Get:
Manning and Jordy.

While I'm taking a small risk that Manning doesn't retire, I like this trade as unfortunately Bernard has become a Vereen. I do think Ellington bounces back though...And dynasty value of Brees is higher than Manning simply due to age.

Thoughts?
 
I think Manning has one more year in him. Even if the Broncos were to win the Superbowl, I think Elway will talk him into going for a repeat and going out on top.
