I think Pitts is going to be run heavy against the cards (esp how beat up that line is right now, and how good their DBs are). Probably a smart move you are benching Brown because Vick is just not throwing the ball to him the past couple of weeks. Ride the waiver wire and pick up Hurns from the jags. I do not trust 49er recievers

Ingram. I do not trust BB with running backs (esp with a revenge game against the colts this week). Though if you had Blount, start him in a heart beat haha.
I'm hoping boldin has another good showing. baltimore should be a good match up for the 49ers' passing game.
eifert all day. I say that as a Panthers fan. you don't want any part of that low scoring game unless you play either team's defense.

Peterson and Lewis. Duke is only average 3.1 yards per carry and is usually RB2 to Crowell. Though don't be surprised if Lewis doesn't get as much touches at Blount this Sunday. With that shitty DLine of Indy, I will not be surprised if Blount has like 4 touchdowns.
Hurns isn't available lol. Other WR1 I see on the wire is Mike Wallace. But the matchup is tasty with Boldin.

Wilson could have another big day VS DET especially with Jefferies and Royal banged up. Harris could be nice if ODB and/or Randle are out.
But I'd have a hard time benching Brown for any FA unless they just had an overwhelming obvious matchup to exploit.

Dear Devonta Freeman:
You are the best waiver pick I will ever make, as long as I play fantasy football.

Seriously. Wow.

Thank you Freeman!!!! 31 sweet points.
Brown is also facing Patrick Peterson with Vick at QB. I know he's a stud, but Vick doesn't look his way.

This is my first time playing fantasy football and I feel like Freeman is my beginners luck. Damn. So glad I got him as FA week 1 lmao. Guys in my league are offering me real money to get him Lol

I have Freeman and I can't believe his streak is still ongoing. I'm decimating people with my team but it is only an 8 team league. First person to hit 200+ points though. Felt good
Had to be an earlyish draft with him getting Brady in the 8th...makes up for that Wilson 2nd round pick
BronsonLee
Member
Eh, he does ok for me. ESPN projects him for way too much, but I only expect him to do like 10-12 points a game. He's not a key player or anything.
I got 8.1 from him tonight - projected for an insane 15.8. Had I not started him I was going to toss either Theo Riddick or Jordan Cameron in my FLEX spot.
BronsonLee

Yeah, that's what I got from him too. I basically expect average numbers for him, and if he scores, great. He's a decent spot filler. I know he won't flame out like others; he'll get some catches. I've got Brady, Forte, Freeman, and the Denver D to get me the majority of my points.
Yo, speaking of that, the Denver defense is ridiculous this year. They've gotten me so many damn points. I benched them Week 1 for the Vikings defense because I'm a Vikings fan, and lost because of it. Never again!
OOF. That hurts, but my experience with the TE position is that it's a real pain in the ass. Not much you could've done in that one.

In the battle of the Hail Mary RBs... Standard league.
Joique Bell vs.Chicago
Ahmad Bradshaw vs. New England
Bradshaw will be thrown right in the offense he's familiar with and should get 6-7 receptions in a blowout, Joique Bell is back facing a weak Chicago run D... decisions, decisions. I feel this is going to come down to if Detroit can play from ahead.

Was able to pick up Freeman in week 2 because I was #2 on the waiver. Combined with OBJ, Keenan Allen, Latavius Murray, Joseph Randle and now Gurley, my team is on a 4 win streak and off to a good start this week.
Jimmy Graham needs to step it up for me though. Oh and I have Dez waiting to come back.

Well he scored less than 30 this week so it looks like the party is finally coming to a end for Freeman owners.

I continue to find Devonta baffling. He was terrible last year, and couldn't beat out the rookie Coleman this year until Coleman got injured. And how here are are four weeks later...
Coleman looks better on the "eye test" to me from everything I've seen so far this year. The line has obviously stepped it up which helps everybody.
I still can't take him seriously as an alleged top 5 back.

That's something they haven't really been able to do all season long.
I don't like Bradshaw at all if Luck doesn't play... but I think I'd still lean his way over Joique if Luck suits up.
He had no less than 9 touches/targets per game for the Colts last season and typically did a solid job with the looks he got.
But in a standard league he's not going to return real value unless he scores.
And, to be fair, they didn't have Gore last season either. They had the disaster known as Trent Truck and Boom Herron.
I just have little to no confidence about any part of the Lions offense right now. Even in what should be a cake match-up.
Damn, all this Freeman love gets me down since I dropped him after week 1 for an injury replacement I think. I'm still 4-1 in that league and have Dez coming back.
I started hankerson at flex by accident by was thinking of using Lamar Miller or Chris Johnson instead - hope it doesn't come down to the wire.
PPR league trade proposal sent to me:
Cobb/Abdullah for my Bradon Marshall/Ellington
He needs a QB badly with Peyton struggling and has no wr/RB depth. I'm not sure Abdullah gets better.
I was thinking of countering with something like:
My Tannehill/Moncreif/Ellington for Dion Lewis (or AP but doubt it)
Maybe do a big trade like:
My Tannehill/Marshall/Ellington/Moncreif/CJ?k or Lamar Miller for Lewis and Cobb.
What do you guys think? Am I being greedy?
My team is pretty decent in this league : 10 team PPR
2qb: Luck/Tannehill/McCown
3wr: Hopkins/Marshall/Arob/Moncreif/Hankerson/Dez!
2rb: Arian/Blount/CJ/Ellington/Lamar Miller/rRiddick
Te:Clay
2 flex
Not too worried if I trade or not. Just want to upgrade a bit at RB and TE if I can.
More worried about my other league where I'm 2-3 and banking on Jimmy Graham. Also have 2 injured QBs - Tyrod and Big Ben. Should I trade Big Ben for Tannehill?

Freeman is saving my ace for sure. Had charleas and foster. Freeman continuing to mitigates losing charles. Hope he keeps it up! My other team I lost charles with is an absolute dumpster fire. This team lost romo, drafted McCoy, has Mike Evans, Alfred Morris, and Sammy Watkins. I don't have a single guy started in over 60% of yahoo leagues on that team...

What are you talking about?
He did better this week than last and he was only a few points down from where he finished the week before. He netted me 35 in my PPR league. His high this season was 42.
Edit: When was the last time a RB or any player had this much of an incredible run in a four week span?
He's scored 146 points for me in the last four weeks. 9 TD's, 462 rushing yards and 233 Receiving yards with 25 receptions. Absolutely mind blowing.

It's funny looking back at pre-season rankings and the consensus opinion on ATL backs was a shoulder shrug. Coleman is a more talented rookie while Freeman is the incumbent. Whoever wins out will they even be worth it with Shanahan offense throwing from behind with Jones and company.
ATL has the easiest schedule in the league too. They face 2 more teams with winning records this year. Should be the Freeman show all season long.

Ugh lol.
I swear, sometimes it's hard to tell on gaf! Right? Right!?
Yea, it really is crazy. I remember drafting Freeman, hoping he would be the starter and even then, he would be a low tier RB.
Funny to think that Lacy was my first pick and Freeman was one of my last picks.

I would not be trading Ben if I were you. He should be coming back next week.
It wasn't a significant injury either so he should be 100% by then. Miami has looked terrible this season as well
