Brandin Cooks or Odell Beckham. Favoring Cooks but Beckham could get big points during the 4th quarter trying to catch up to the Seahawks.

Kaepernick or Romo?

Kap has played poorly as of late, but he does have a way of pulling off a great performance when you least expect it. Romo's back is an issue and they might just blow the Jags out, meaning the won't need to throw. I'm conflicted

Kaep. Even if Romo is playing, it would be a run game.
 
My starting lineup if AP actually returns in 12 man league

QB - Aaron Rodgers
WR1 - Josh Gordon
WR2 - Keenan Allen
RB 1 - Matt Forte
RB 2 - Marshawn Lynch
TE - Julius Thomas
FLEX - Adrian Peterson
DEF - Houston
K - Justin Tucker

Mike Evans on the bench

About to trade Jay Cutler + Houston D for Gostkowski and Detroit D

oh boy and i'm already first with a 6-3 record

Started with

QB - Drew Brees
WR1 - Cordarelle Patterson
WR2 - Emmanuel Sanders
RB1 - Matt Forte
RB2 - Shane Vereen
TE - Julius Thomas
FLEX - Knowshown Moreno
K - Justin Tucker
DEF - Arizona

Had Bradshaw and Steve Smith on my bench

What a turnaround

My other 12 manner is just plain fucked after Jennings and Montee went down.
 
My QBs are Collin Kapernick and RG3. Cam Newton and Eli Manning are available on the waiver wire. Should I drop one of my guys to pick up Cam or Eli?

Cooks has to do more on a consistent basis for me to have him in my lineup on the weekly. Beckham gives you a TD opportunity and ton of garbage time grabs.
 
I have this offer pending.. should I accept or reject?

Martellus Bennett and Maclin from my team for Eddie Lacy from his team.

I need have any good RB and at the sane time I have no backup TE if I traded Bennett (I have rented Dwayne Allen from a friend.. he will go back to him this week)

I only have LeVeon Bell and Knile Davis! (and Adrian Peterson..) as RBs

Here is my roster and his roster if anyone would like to help me counter his offer

My team vs his

Sanu a good start tonight or will his great production finally end? Maybe if Joe Haden covers AJ Green Sanu could get some better looks.

Any chance you can hold out until next week to properly gauge ADP's outlook? You'll have a hard time benching either ADP or Bell for Lacy if you can only start two backs per week. A capable Tight End is tough to come by and Maclin is just a monster right now. Not sure I'd want to give either of those up.

You should also be shopping Knile to the Charles' owner as a vital handcuff.
 
I have to start Sanchez this week because BOTH Luck and Brady (don't ask) are on bye.

Had 4 receivers going into the week, D Thomas, Vincent Jackson, Watkins and Crabtree.

Got a notification that Watkins tweaked his hamstring or groin or whatever so I dropped Crabtree for Sanu, but it seems like it won't be an issue. Of course Sanu plays tonight so if it IS an issue, I am boned.

So the question is do I let it ride, with Vincent Jackson, Watkins and Thomas, or swap Jackson and the messy Bucs QB situation for Sanu, and then if Watkins is super limited (or out) I can slot Jackson in as an emergency.

Also no pressure but I am 9-0 going into this game.

Is there anyway to have a whole league veto a comissioner's veto? He vetoed a trade because "Gio is hurt", which is irrelevant because he was one of 4 players I was receiving, one other being Jeremy Hill. He has vetoed no other trades due to injury, but now that both of our teams will be better than his with this trade, he won't allow it. He's such a douche. Same guy who has been known to fix his line up after the start of the games because he's leader.

Here's a quote:

"(Insert name here) I don't read all that shit?

ESPN fantasy is what we play

Get a life and get over it, seriously its over deal with it. Not gonna change the rules for you."



He is going to brag when he wins the league and I'll probably be very very pissed when this happens.

Wow, what a shit commish. If you paid to get in I'd ask for your money back and drop out. If the commish is letting personal shit get in the way of performing simple duties then fuck him.

Or just do the trade for Jeremy Hill this week, then a second one for Gio the following week when he's back. He'll no longer have an excuse to veto.

Then who cares...? And WTF was Sanu on waivers?
 
Sanu was dropped last week for Allen Robinson for whatever reason.

This is a public league where Brady and Romo were both dropped after slow starts so who knows what is going on with people.

I'm in a league like that. There are people that don't know trading was an option so I doubt they know how to use the Waiver wire. Gio Bernard was dropped last week. Along with Fred Jackson. Scccoooooppppp.

I'd play Sanu and Rainey. But you're still risking the chance Doug Martin starts(or has he been ruled out/cleared to play?)
Click to expand...

He sat out of practice today.

Doug Martin (ankle) remained sidelined Thursday.
Martin appears all but certain to miss Sunday's game against the Falcons, leaving Bobby Rainey and Charles Sims as the Bucs' 1-2. Whenever Martin finally returns, it's far from a guarantee he does so as the Bucs' No. 1 back. Nov 6 - 2:03 PM

So someone offered:

Desean Jackson
Ronnie Hillman
Travis Kelce

for

Jimmy Graham

Pros and cons?

Pros:

I need a running back in a bad way. I have Denard Robinson on the Jags (who has been solid, all things considered) and then a bunch of backups like Anthony Dixon and Andre Williams. I have Ryan Mathews and Rashad Jennings on the bench injured and they aren't returning fast enough (ugh). I lost CJ Spiller to the broken collarbone.

Cons:

Montee Ball looks to return soon. Will Hillman still get the work?

Graham has what looks to be great matchups heading into fantasy playoff season. I am currently 4th in my league and look to have a shot at the playoffs.

Desean is on a garbage offense that I don't really trust. I already have Antonio Brown and Randall Cobb and Golden Tate. Needless to say I've been on easy street in the WR/Flex area all season.

Rounding out my team I have Peyton Manning and Roethlisberger and Vinatieri as my kicker.

Yay or Nay fantasy-gaf?

I'd do it in a heartbeat. Hillman is a top 10 RB (and Montee Ball isn't getting the job back).

Montee Ball himself said he isn't the starter http://espn.go.com/blog/denver-broncos/post/_/id/9748/ball-lighter-leaner-and-wants-his-old-job-back

Thats a good point!

I have offered someone Golden Tate & Knile Davis for Alfred Morris and Keenan Allen.
Tate is a monster right now but Megatron is coming back soon.

I don't think he will accept that trade but lets see.

I still like Tate though. Megatron should be drawing coverage from their #1 corner.

Sanchez or Dalton? quick!

Mike Wallace ? Martavis Bryant ? Michael Floyd ?
I can only start 2
Click to expand...

Hopefully you didn't pick Dalton. I'm glad someone else snagged Jeremy Hill before I could get him to replace my benched Bernard.

Anyone have any input on Sanchez V. Flacco, for this week? Looks like either one could have a decent or terrible week.
 
That was a frustrating game to watch as someone who started Sanu. Got a bunch of looks, a few in the end zone where he could've scored if Dalton made a better throw.
 
Can't believe I started a Bengal in prime time. Still guess I should be grateful for the 3 points I got from Sanu. Someone else started AJ Green and Dalton and came out with negative points.
 
the guy i just destroyed 160-84 offered me his rueben randle and terrance west for my alfred morris. i'm in 1st place probably gonna win this league barring any starters sitting...

anyways my RBs are currently: lamar miller, tre mason (just for this week while morris and foster are out), arian foster, alfred morris, fred jackson.

WRs: demariyus thomas, doug baldwin, aj green, brandin cooks, and andre holmes.

i could do this trade, and probably still win my league, but alfred is killing it, can't trust west to keep the starting spot imo (correct me if i'm wrong please), and randle does not really catch the ball...

advice!
 
J.Bravo how confident are you with Tre Mason? He's another one of my FLEX options along with Gore and Dixon, while they're all rough starts this week I need go with one. Terrance Williams is also an option, I don't know about him this week even with him saving Jacksonville.
 
Jeff Fisher is playing media games but it sure looks like Tre Mason has the job now. I don't think we'll see that same 3-man committee in St. Louis anymore.

That's a TURRIBLE trade. Alf's YPC goes up a full yard with RGIII there, while West is the lead in a 3-way committee (spew) and Randle... bleh.
 
Someone please convince me what I'm doing is the correct move: I'm sitting Lamar Miller* vs Detroit and starting Lorenzo Taliaferro vs Tennessee.

*in light of the Miami Herald report that says he'll be starting but will most likely have a limited role this week.
 
I have been going back and forth and need some opinions. I'm short a RB this week and need to drop someone. Narrowed it down to Andre Holmes and Allen Robinson. This is a PPR league.

I have Edelman, Green, Bryant, Benjamin and Baldwin.
 
RoKKeR said:
Alright, 4 WRs for 3 spots.

Dez Bryant
Mike Evans
Anquan Boldin
Doug Baldwin

Thoughts?
Click to expand...

Dez, Anquan, Baldwin. Evans has more upside than Baldwin, but McCown is too much of a wildcard as far as Evans is concerned.

Am I crazy for considering Nick Folk today at kicker? Or should I just do the smart thing and roll with Catanzaro or Shayne Graham?
