Flip a coin?
I would go with Cam but Brady could pull a good game even without Gronk.

Flip a coin?

Pretty much. I flipped a coin last week and went with Cam; it didn't go so well, but he's got too much going on. And New Orleans is so shitty

I guess I worded that bad, I meant he might as well grab Chandler since he has Gronk and the only way Chandler would play on his team (not real life) is if Gronk is injured.
I am also trying to grab Chandler, 12/12 on the waiver wire doesn't seem too promising though
Trying to grab David Johnson, I need a RB2 bad since Murray is playing for the Eagles and Hillman lost his starting job to C.J Anderson.

Got first seed and a first round bye into the playoffs! Adrian Peterson has been putting my team on his back. I got a touchdown from every player this past week that I put in though: DeSean Jackson, Alfred Blue, Adrian Peterson, Chris Ivory, and Michael Crabtree.
Really odd team, but it has been working for me. I've been working favorable matchups hard week in and week out.

Do I play Hillman or Demarco Murray? Eagles are so horrible right now I can't fathom to start Murray with ease. Hillman might be taking a backseat to Anderson but even then he seems like he could score more points than Murray.
Praying I get David Johnson off waivers so I don't have to decide.
Also, Pick 3 out of these WRs, projections are next to them (bold is who I am currently starting).
A. Brown 13.59 vs IND
L. Fitzgerald 10.50 @ STL
E. Sanders 9.89 @ SD
D. Bryant 7.20 @ WAS
B. LaFell 10.77 vs PHI

As bad as the Eagles are, I'd still go with Murray over Hillman and Johnson. And I would go with Brown, Fitzgerald and Sanders at WR. Maybe swap Bryant for Sanders, but it's so hard to tell with Cassel and Osweiler at QB.

Thanks you guys. My RB1 is Gurley who I am worried will start getting worse since he is on such a shitty offense just like Murray. I'll roll with them both this week and just hope they show some upside for the playoffs.
I would normally play Dez over Sanders but I don't think Dez will be playing as hard moving forward with the Cowboys most likely out of the playoff race and with Cassel throwing to him. LaFell has me raising an eyebrow with his high projected points (going against the eagles d too), but so far he has been fantasy football fool's gold.

Why is DEN still rated #1 ROS for DST?
@ SD, OAK, @ PIT, CIN, SD
Those all seem like really tough matchups, in a blind test, I wouldnt start any DST against those matchups
(Have SEA and KC, still putting in a waiver for DEN)
Drop Frank Gore for David Johnson (potentially) ?
Current RBs: Freeman, Bernard, Gore
Waiver claims in for CJ Anderson and David Johnson

I'd drop Gore for Johnson, the Ellington timetable is key. He may be out 2 weeks or the season.

team that is freaking 3-9 took Denver DST in waivers in front of me
JUST GIVE UP ALREADY!!!
JUST GIVE UP ALREADY!!!
Picked up D Johnson with my 4th position waiver and also grabbed S. Draughn off of FA this morning.
Now my RBs are (D Murray, F Gore, D. Johnson, S. Draughn, S. Ware)
Team as it stands now @ 8-4, 2nd in my 10 team league:
QB: Palmer, Carr
RB: D Murray, F Gore, D. Johnson, S. Draughn, S. Ware
WR: A. Brown, D. Hopkins, M. Evans, John Brown, B Lafell
TE: Barnidge
K: Catanzaro
DST: Arizona
Last week was ROUGH for my WRs. Brown, Hopkins and Evans combined for 15.1 standard.

Well, got blocked on Chandler but grabbed Jordan Reed. As far as Gronk replacements go, Reed is decent, right?

The bigger concern is how the hell is Denver's D even on waivers???!
RedNalgene

What do you guys think about the Seahawks D? They have been terrible lately, so I'm considering streaming the rest of the way out. I can grab the Bears D (@SF) for this week - yes or no?
Reed is an easy top 5 when healthy IMO. I've even started him over Eifert. Last week he had 8 catches and is Redskins best redzone threat.

No, no one gives up in fantasy football. Deal with it, it keeps the league competitive and it's a good thing. I'm 5-7 but I'm not about to abandon my team and destroy the competitive balance. If someone's gonna beat me they have to earn it.

Thanks, that's a relief. Our playoffs begin this weekend and the person I'm playing against snagged Chandler despite already owning Olsen. I can't blame him for blocking me, but now it's personal.

LOL, even if they're not on the playoffs, they will do everything they can to give the playoff teams a hard time.

Just picked up Fitzpatrick for this week. I cannot believe I'm benching Rivers and Brees. Such is the sad state of my QB situation...

These last two weeks have been fucking brutal. Most of my team is putting up singe digits. I dominated earlier in the year and I am still in 1st place. The playoffs are in two weeks and I am worried.
DizzyCaffeine
Member
I know exactly how you feel. I'm also going into the playoffs in 1st place, but I'm fresh off a 3 game losing streak. And losing Gronk in a meaningless game just makes matters worse.
MyFistYourFace
Member
I felt so confident too! Our waivers are worst to best, so even though I am on 2 game losing streak I have last dibs on waivers still. Somehow I managed to grab Chandler for this week just because (I have Watson as my TE). Ugh, now Kubiak is saying Hillman is still starting over Anderson.. so I think I might make the switch of him in for D. Murray. I CANNOT afford another piss poor performance from Murray this week..

I'm still rolling with them. They gave up a lot of points to Pitts, but the question is.... can they stop the run against Minn?
nillapuddin
Member
someone dropped them on BYE, I picked them up last week, then dropped them again when I saw the playoffs were PIT and CIN. But now realize I should have kept them just to fuck with the other good teams

Would it be a waste to add Marshawn Lynch? Our playoffs are week 15 and 16. His time table is 3-4 weeks if he even does come back.. I could drop Chandler once Gronk is back in full swing just to have lynch on my bench for the playoffs in case he does play.
I don't think he comes back before the end of, at least, the fantasy season, if at all this year. But, if you have a spot on the bench, i guess I'd roster him. I would probably keep Chandler, just in case Gronk gets hurt or something again in 15 or 16. Don't want to scramble in the finals.
Stick with Stafford.

Got Chandler and David Johnson on waivers somehow.
Starting Chandler at TE since it's been a dumpster fire at that position all year for me.
I need to decide which 2 to start at RB this week: Chris Ivory, Lamar Miller, David Johnson, Theo Riddick. Full point PPR league.
And I'm leaning toward Bortles over Brees this week as well. Any thoughts on that?

All I need is 15 points for Eli a.k.a he doesn't dud. Because Giants don't seem to ever run the ball he usually has to pass all the time. Depends what you need out of the position.

Randall Cobb or Eddie Lacy in a 1 point PPR league?
I suppose you could throw in Martavis Bryant as well. Pick 2 of 3.

Just my opinion:
QB: Brady even without alot of his weapons is still match-proof
RB: Much higher floor and upside on that side.
WR: This isn't close. Nuk is still a beast who should see minimum 8 targets, OBJr vs. Cro LOL
TE: Olsen Top 3 TE and facing the Saints, who hemorrhage points to TEs? Sign me up.
K: I think it's more of a shootout and McManus has been pretty good.
DEF: Niners can't really run and Gabbo on the road? I can see him throwing a pick or 2.

OK I've got decisions to make and I've gotta get some feedback.
Start or Sit:
Brady or Cam
Blount or Forte
Montcrief or Aiken
Tyler Lockett (Kickoff return yards are overvalued in my league) or Brandin Cooks

I need another pair of eyes on a couple of my choices as well:
First, Seattle D or Green Bay D?
Second, for RB JStew, Doug Martin, Rawls, and Murray. I have JStew and Martin in right now which is good. I'm wondering if I should put Rawls in though, Murray has been disappointing this year.
Third, WR: I have T Benjamin, Martavis Bryant, and John Brown in right now. Should I put Crabtree in for any of them. I'm leaning towards swapping out T Benjamin or John Brown but Benjamin just saved my week, Bryant has a pretty good time next week,

Stafford. He does best at home on turf, has done better each week since the new OC. On top of that, Titans have a good D (better than GB right now). Finally, Hurns is almost surely not playing (Bortles down his WR2).
I have Brady and Stafford - and I played stafford last week and have been tempted to again (Brady playing a good D I would...but you know Eagles...)

Tough week for me.
Did pick up Chandler to replace Gronk.
Right now I'm planning to play Brandon Marshall and Brandon LaFell in the WR spots. Got Rawls in my RB slot.
Currently have Ivory in the flex spot.
On the bench are Dez, Travis Benjamin and Moncrief.

1. Seattle D. MN doesn't turnover much, but just don't put up the points. IMO GB could get more than a few points put up on them.
2. RB - Pretty easy call. Rawls, Jstew. Rawls - he'll get 20+ carries and MN gives up run yardage (less TDs), Joseph might be out. Jstew is against NO. Dmart is against Falcons - before last week only avg 80 yard rushing allowed (total, not to RB1). Murray is against Pats...not good, and Murray hasn't been good regardless.
3. Bryant stays in. Normally I would put in Crabtree next...but KC has been really good on D lately (last week a bit off), you are right in the flip a coin area.

You're...benching Dez for LaFell? Bold move. Have to say I like Benjamin more; if nothing else the Browns love to throw that guy deep bombs since their junktime starts early. I love LaFell for steady points but Brady is not really throwing to him in the redzone. (Of course I'm starting him this week so I really hope he does!)
1. They are ECR 2-1, flip a coin. I say Cam this week.
2. Blount. Forte is in a full blown split for carries.
3. Not sure
4. Lockett if you have return yards. Neither guy will likely do too much on offense (a couple catches each, possibility for one big play, but both have poor D matchups.)

I'm still debating in my mind, but Dez really hasn't done much since coming back, and with Romo gone I don't expect that to change.
I like Benjamin as well and considering putting him in my flex spot instead of Ivory, Leaning towards Ivory because they're going against the Giants.
