I count five different times Hillman could/should have scored tonight.

Three times inside the 5 = Manning dropping a snap that was clearly going to be a handoff to Hillman, then giving it to Thompson on two different drives from the 2 yard line.

Stepped out of bounds by a toenail on a TD catch.

Long TD run called back by a holding penalty.

Fantasy football is terrible.
 
Hey, remember when I traded Philip Rivers and E. Sanders to some guy for Dez Bryant?

Guess who I play this week? :(

Ouch.

Hey cool, Rivers was throwing the ball a helluva lot to Keenan Allen last night, sucks that I didn't start him, but if that can continue I'd be really happy.

Hey, at least your not a Percy Harvin owner.

That's true.

I traded Harvin a week before that 3 called-back-TD game and played the guy I traded him to when he put up -0.10. I guess I shouldn't complain too much...

..but FIVE TDs!
 
14-team Standard league w/ double flex (W/R/T and W/T). Just pulled off a trade to get rid of depth and acquire a solid #2 RB. I dealt Bryce Brown, Torrey Smith, and Delanie Walker to acquire Joique Bell. My team prior to deal

QB: Eli Manning
RB: Ben Tate, Rashad Jennings, Bryce Brown, Isaiah Crowell
WR: Demaryius Thomas, Antonio Brown, Golden Tate III, Torrey Smith, Allen Robinson
TE: Jordan Reed, Delanie Walker
K: Matt Prater
D: Cleveland

Thoughts? I peddled those guys to owners of Justin Forsett and Jerick McKinnon and the Joique owner was the first to accept. I didn't need Walker or Smith at this point, if I didn't play them they're dead weight.

Quick is being neglected in that O though. I'd play the streaming QB game than do that deal. Now if he gave you Evans... that's different.
Anyone got input on this trade? I'm the previous joique owner. I'm happy with the trade since I get an upgrade at te, and depth at rb and wr.
 
Sanders da gawd. What a glorious night.

Ronnie/Juwan looked good yesterday and I think its a safe bet to drop Montee from my bench now lol
 
Well. This week I'm decimated by injuries and bye weeks.

To avoid starting my 2nd TE (Cameron) in the Flex, who should I drop him for...Sankey, Baldwin, or D.Robinson?

Or drop Big Ben for 2 of those guys (I already have PFM).
 
The Rivers owner in my standard league wants Keenan Allen, asked him if he'd give me Hillman and Julian Edelman, I'm not that happy with Edelman but he's a huge Kelvin Benjamin and won't trade him. Should I offer it?
 
In my ppr league, my main rbs are

ellington
Sproles
Oliver
McKinnon

I have Cameron and Larry Donnell at TE

I've been offered Julius Thomas straight up for ellington. Thoughts?

I would do it. Assuming you are a 2rb, 2wr, flex league, you can get by with Oliver and McKinnon as your starting running backs. Who are your wide receivers? The question would be if the upgrade of Julius Thomas over Cameron/donnell is worth the drop in production of Ellington vs sproles or Ellington vs your 3rd wide receiver. If its Ellington vs sproles, I would do it.
 
Need to start 2 of 3 RBs:
L.McCoy @ Ari
J.McKinnon @ TB
J.Bell @ Atl

Leaning towards McKinnon and Bell. Don't trust the Eagle O-line against Arizona run D. Still, sitting McCoy feels wrong. Any recommendations?

Go with that. Ellington and Bell both with good match ups, McCoys got a tough one.

My WRs are Calvin Johnson, Antonio brown, and Steve smith. I only have to start 2 rbs.

Really considering it
 
I hate that I always wait until the last minute to make my fantasy choices, but it's superstition....I always seem to do better when I wait it out and make those last minute gut choices.
Though I still feel like asking......

Eric Decker, Greg Jennings, or Kendall Wright? Jennings is playing against the Bucs and it's VERY tempting.

Darren McFadden or Doug Martin?

I'm gonna make all the wrong choices today....I just know it. Glad I don't have anyone in that Lions/Falcons game though.

Your running back depth is ass though. Oliver is going to be sharing time pretty soon. Do you really want McKinnon as your #1 back?
 
This early start time worked out pretty well for me. My opponent didn't update his line-up and is starting Terrence West over Joique Bell.
 
Of course, Matt Ryan has his only good game in a month the first time I decide to bench him, ughhhhhh.

Hopefully Palmer matches/comes close to Ryan's output.
 
Need 3 of the following:
J McKinnon
Ben Tate
Lamar Miller
Mark Ingram

Leaning top 3...though Ingram should have a big role today with the injuries there...thoughts? Thanks!
 
Having a tough time deciding my starting TE this week.

Zach Ertz or Jordan Cameron?
Ertz. Arizona is terrible at guarding TEs.

In this order: Decker/Wright/Jennings. Then McFadden
Andre Johnson @ Ten

or Alshon Jeffery @ NE
... Jeffrey, but this isn't a ringing endorsement.
Torrey Smith or Boobie Dixon for my flex?

.5 ppr
Ugh, I dislike both this week. Though I think in the future Smith will get more targets, historically Torrey has been terrible vs. Cincy. I think I'd actually try Anthony Dixon.
Any word on Jimmy Graham?

It's him or Scott Chandler for me. :(
Graham is playing, and should have a bigger role than the decoy he was last week.
 
Ok guys, so I'm trying to improve my RB depth, one guy wants Dwayne and Keenan Allen for Joique Bell and Douh Baldwin. I'm shaky with his two and I think Keenan Allen should be seeing a lot of looks in the future, and I really like Dwayne's consistency(standard league) should I try putting in Delanie Walker or Eric Decker or someone?
 
If Aaron Rodgers is hurt my fantasy year is over.

Didn't look TOO bad. Luckily they have a BYE week next week to get it sorted out. Unfortunately my backup QB Cutler has a bye the same week. Trying to trade him though and pick up a streaming QB for next week.
 
Roethlisberger was on my bench this week... 65 points and Wilson got me 15.

I might still win because Breesus had a great night, but if Demarco Murray gets 23+ I lose, and he's been known to do it.



I'm starting to think I should always start QBs with home games, I have the three guys I mentioned above.
 
I hate when I pick up a player specifically for the matchup that they have that week and then I don't use them because I'm too chickenshit. Picked up Greg Jennings and contemplated putting him in over Torrey Smith......should've went with Jennings. I'm losing by 6 points and I have the Dallas defense. This is gonna be close as hell.
 
I got an interesting trade offer. We start 3 WR and a flex. I own Bryant, Green, Hilton, and Roddy White along with Adams and Robinson (eligible for WR in Yahoo league). Knowing Green is coming back, the Sanu owner offered him to me for White. White will become a possible flex but nothing more, same with Sanu, but he's also the "handcuff" of sorts with Green still nursing his toe. Do I take it?

Got a package offer of Forte, T Smith and Sanu for White, Bradshaw, and Robinson. Thoughts on that as well?

League is .5 PPR by the way.
 
Had Torrey Smith and Cameron get me a total of 5.5 points....and I'm still up by 50+ thanks to PFM and Maclin. Guy still DeMarco and Dallas D going, so there is still a chance this ends poorly for me.

Smith and Sanu won't be much in a few weeks, but you get Forte and I like that..White is nothing special, Bradshaw is solid, and Robinson is too new to really know...You get the best ploayer and ultimately exchange at RB Bradshaw for Forte...

I say take it.
 
Like half my team is either injured or on a bye next week so I'm desperate for a RB. Barring a trade the best options I think I can pick up off waivers are Jonas Gray, Roy Helu or Christine Michael. Yeah not too great but what do you guys think?

Gray and Helu are good choices. Helu Jr. most certain to get burn.
