So..
QB 1: Russell
WR 1: Allen Robinson
WR 2: Eric Decker
WR 3 Sterling Shepard
RB 1: Latavius Murray
RB 2: Melvin Gordon
TE: Greg Olsen
Bench: Isaiah Crowell, Michael Thomas, Tyrell Williams, Tevin Coleman, Marcus Mariota
I'm starting to doubt in the jaguars and Robinson.. Should I consider shopping him for another WR or try riding him out and see if he rebounds?

I'm not listening to any of these fantasy experts that say to bench Melvin Gordon. He's in my starting lineup from now on.

I feel the same way. He's starting for me next week. And of course you know he'll have 20 carries for 40 yards and no TDs when I put him in...

STEFON DIGGS DA GOD
TOUCHDOWN FOR EMPHASIS
fuck man, my heart is breaking for AP right now, shit.
TOUCHDOWN FOR EMPHASIS
fuck man, my heart is breaking for AP right now, shit.
I had Cobb and Diggs, I needed 9 points. I started Diggs on gut instinct, almost changed back to Cobb but my roommate told me to just leave it and go with my first choice, so I did.
Also, both me and my opponent would've beat all the other teams in the league by 30 points, so whoever lost was bound to be pissed. I owe my roomie a beer now, the banter in our message board is pure gold.

Antonio Brown screwed me over. But it's okay cuz who was I gonna bench him over. Only real mistake was stafford over Palmer.

Thank god for Isaiah Crowell.
Fuck Peterson and Ivory, I'm never touching another 30+y/o runningback in fantasy again.

I'm giving Lacy one more week. If he can't do more than this, he's on the trading block.

May wanna put him on the block now then, while his value is still fairly high
Ugh
I have 2nd highest score in the league, my opponent have the highest score....
That is the fucking worst.

- Sam Bradford (hand) returned and could be fine?
WR
- Donte Moncrief (head) left on stretcher
- Doug Baldwin (knee) left brieftly, returned, awaiting MRI
- Tyler Lockett (knee) left in second, returned in 4th
RB
- Adrian Peterson (knee) Helped off field, unknown severity
- Doug Martin (hamstring)
- Thomas Rawls (leg contusion)
- Arian Foster (groin)
- Ameer Abdullah (foot)
- Danny Woodhead (knee) Carted off, awaiting MRI
- Chris Ivory (???)
- Jonathan Stewart (hamstring)
TE

Don't forget RB Chris Ivory sent to the hospital AGAIN

Add J. Stewart out with hamstring to that list.
Crazymoogle

That's right, forgot about that. And Sam Bradford as well I guess given the mid game X-rays, but he did finish pretty well.
unknownstranger
Member
I started 3 people on this list.
I need 45 points from Alshon Jeffery to come back lol. Antonio Brown killed me but even if he did decent I'd still probably lose. Hard to do much when your opponent gets 75 points from 3 players (Cam and both Benjamin's).

Guys, I'm thinking of starting Tevin Coleman over demarco murray next week with the Falcons playing the Saints. Falcons also look like a top 5 O-line. Murray's offensive situation scares me, that massive run really saved his day but he does play well in flashes.
I'd go for it. The Saints/Giants game was a weird one. In the 1st quarter the Saints' CB PJ Williams had a gruesome injury (not many people probably heard about it because he's not an offensive player) and the players on both teams were visibly shook. OBJ was pretty much crying on the field, and this probably affected the teams and their pace/desire to play.
I don't want to seem cold, but that guy was one of their better remaining corners, and with him out their defense only gets weaker. I could see Atlanta getting several touchdowns, especially the way Matt Ryan is playing. And with the Saints also being able to put points on the board, the Falcons will be throwing it a lot. Looks good for Coleman.

You can also add rashad Jennings (hand).

Good analysis, I did hear about the Saints injury but didn't realize it was that bad that sounds horrible. One more question to anyone, thinking of starting Diggs over Allen Robinson soon but I was thinking it could be smart to wait one more week after the vikings play Carolina. Robinson has a good chance at a bounce back matchup against the ravens I just have no clue what is going on with Jax, I thought they would show a ton of improvement this season and still think they can.

He will definitely improve back to the mean but it's probably not going to be a top fantasy year for him anymore. I I think it's worth exploring other options. It's funny, the exact scenario you laid out happened to me when I drafted Luck last season, I never take QBs that early but he was there and the potential of 40 something touchdowns blinded me.

Lockett and Abdullah got hurt? I was wondering why Abdullah didn't do too much.
FloydtheFathead
Member
No. Stay calm.. He has San Fran next week and the Hawks always play like shit against the Rams.
Relax..
Now the question is should I give up on Allen Robinson.. Because I'm not liking what I'm seeing from bortles

So who the fuck do I pick up off waivers to fix my runningback stable?
I have:
- Isaiah Crowell (thank christ)
- Adrian Peterson (another hurt leg, maybe done)
- Chris Ivory (2 hospital trips in 2 weeks, maybe done)
- Jalen Richard
I thought the Raiders picked Richard for the go-to guy after week one, but now he's like sharing carries as a mere backup.
Help me gaf

Yep, although neither seem too bad. Abdullah may miss a week as he was seen in a walking boot after the game, but Lockett should (hopefully) be good
What running backs are on the wire? May not be much you can do besides attempt a trade
Depends on how deep your league is...
Chris Sims or Jerrik McKinnon if available would be great, if not then you should grab Shane Vereen
Yeah I realize Agholar is a gamble, PPR helps though - he still outscored Mathews last week. Ags played nearly 100% of the snaps where Mathews played 50%. Ertz is out and Bears secondary is a shit show while their front 7 is pretty decent.
I'm all aboard the Wentz train, I do trust Mathews more, but I feel like Ags is the play here.
FloydtheFathead
Member
Then play Ags.. If you are sold on Wentz, then play Ags.
Yes.. I'm kicking myself that I traded him for Hilton in a package deal. I should have demanded Benjamin..Rex Ryan is killing my Team
Week 1: faced Mike Wallace vs BUF
Week 2: faced Forte vs BUF
Week 3: facing D Johnson vs BUF
........ Welp.
After the Min/GB game, is Diggs a must Start for ROS?
Violence Jack
Member
Unless I can get a hell of a trade for him, I think I'm just going to keep Lacy on my bench. I don't think the problem is him not producing, it's the fact that the Packers don't seem to want to run the ball anymore.

I still have Mathews and Eagles D in my lineup tonight, but my bench scored 53 more points than my lineup lol

Russell Wilson only had one game with >300 passing yards last year.
But Wilson runs the ball! ...He had 4 games with over 50 rushing yards (51, 52, 53, 78) and only 1 rushing touchdown last year.
In his first 10 games last year Wilson's line was: 2378yds, 13TDs, 7Ints, 385ruyds, 0ruTDs
Or: 238yds/game, 1.3td/game, 0.7ints/game, 38.5ruyds/game ... that's around 18.57pts in 4pt passing touchdown leagues.
He ended the year very strong, with multiple 3 and 5 passing touchdown games. But the majority of his games he was an average fantasy QB. His rushing for ~30 yards per game help him have a consistent floor, but he doesn't exactly come with as much upside as people think. Now that Doug Baldwin hurt his knee, I'm even more scared for his passing numbers.
If you could find anybody in your league that thinks Wilson has the potential for a top5 QB and will pay you a RB/WR2 or even high-end WR3 with upside price I would go for it.
It's not too hard to find 20pt/game QBs on the wire. Matt Ryan and Flacco perfect examples that you could stream every week.
