I'm not sure how I'm leading in the two-QB league but I'm sure Eli's about to bullshit the Giants into a comeback to fix that for me

Team got slaughtered, Tom Brady underperformed, Calvin Johnson underperformed, Trent Edwards underperformed...
and this week my opponent had Peyton Manning.
My team was supposed to be the stacked one!

Favored by 29 points this week, going to lose by 30+ without a miracle. Fucking Bowe and especially Wilson killed me. Only one skill player of the guy I'm against got under 10 points and he still has Foster left.

I kept Boldin on the bench but still have 133.45 points with my defense still to play tonight in a 12 man league. I love how crazy offenses went this week.

Great fantasy week for me, blew out my opponents in both money leagues and I haven't even finished in one of them with Alfred Morris still up. I was nervous about having Cameron Jordan as my starter for my 12 man but he really rewarded my faith 
Cook worked out great for my other two leagues. I'm also glad I made sure to get Bush in one of them.
As for the GAF league, just a bad week to go against Squicken. Peyton with a record game, Peterson with 3 TDs and Cameron to boot? Brutal. Didn't help that SEA played like shit so Wilson was a bust and Kap went off against the garbage Packer D. Next week I will bounce back!

Fantasy Football Underground (ESPN) is probably the most info-first one I can recall. Fantasy Focus is always there if you want the half-fantasy, half-nonsense but Underground actually does legit research and angles into players.

Peterson had a good fantasy week 1 but I'm really worried about his season if that is what Ponder has in store for everyone. I know he rainbowed a couple deep balls to Simpson, but he is so limited. Hopefully it's just a function of Detroit having a good front 4

Man, I was so close to winning, but David Wilson just had to ruin it for me.

You are in the 2QB league? Which team are you? It should be extremely obvious which one I am if you look at the team names now.
Yeah he didn't get the yards he normally does but obviously 3 TDs masks that. Peterson is just that much of a monster though, he gets his regardless if teams stack the box. One of the few players a manager doesn't really have to worry about.
Doug Martin better step it up this week! To be fair, every top 10 rated RB pre-draft blew outside of Peterson although we haven't see Morris or McCoy play yet.
I edited my name in my post. No I still have no clue who you are. Squicken must be in all the leagues as he is a fantasy whore monger. I can never understand why more than one league is needed. Seems like you will win and lose in some just by mere chance alone. Like a flip of a coin.
Really weird week for RBs. I'm curious if it's an anomaly or trend. Both SF and SEA had the opponent sell out to stop the run, and those are the two best running teams.
My Red Llamas are an unfortunate vote of confidence in Yahoo's autodraft. The auto draft team outdid my handpicked team yesterday, well, in terms of intraleague competitiveness.

WAT? What team am I a fan of? Then look at the names haha
It's just week 1, man. Everything is topsy turvy and teams are rusty. One of the most probable weeks for upsets to happen. Virtually every game was down to the wire when there should have been some blow outs. Always a scary week for Survival leagues. Too bad for Lynch he has to try to bounce back against Niner D.

I can't believe I beat a guy that had Peyton Manning and AJ Green. Peterson, D. Thomas, and the Cowboys defense saved my ass. I scored a 169 points and still only won by 10.

What do you guys think of this trade: my Mark Ingram & Julian Edelman for his Rashard Mendenhall & Emmanuel Sanders?
I am leaning towards yes as I am currently sitting pretty at WR (A.J. Green, Julian Edelman, Jordy Nelson, Torrey Smith, Kenny Stills) and hurting at RB (DeMarco Murray, Daryl Richardson, Bryce Brown, Mark Ingram, Christine Michael, Stepfan Taylor). Standard scoring league.

Currently have Demaryous Thomas, Mike Wallace, T.Y. Hilton and Emmanuel Sanders for receivers. My receivers are a lot worse than my RBs, so I'm loooking to make some improvements?
Should I drop T.Y. Hilton for Kenny Stills or hold him. Kind of worried about Wallace at this point.

Seems even. You got a starting running back in an offense that has to throw everything including the kitchen sink to win. Mendenhall doesn't have a lot of upside but he is at least the 3rd option after Fitzgerald and Floyd. Ingram could have value some weeks but others will be the 3rd RB in a system heavily slanted to the pass.
The Edelman/Sanders side is just too early to call. Edelman basically played the tight end role this week, but that could all change if Gronkowski comes back. Sanders has upside too but we're stuck waiting if the Steelers offensive line can recover or if it's going to continue its spiral to the league's worst.
I wouldn't. Stills is just Devery Henderson, a roll-the-dice receiver. Hilton has proven talent and production. This is really just a week 1 thing; you need time to see how these offenses will shake out.

Blows that Amendola is out already....I drafted TY Hilton as insurance for my bench but it's clearly going to take a bit longer before he outshines Heyward Bey and gets a proper opportunity to produce. I'm trying to get Edelman but I have the lowest waiver priority so I doubt I'll land him.
We'll meet again!Man, I was so close to winning, but David Wilson just had to ruin it for me.

Ooooh, Sweet Lord Baby Jesus.
That Vereen injury may have saved my fantasy season. Ridley's door has opened once again. Don't fuck it up this time, young man.

Got nothing this week out of my HBs, and even less from my WRs.
Just a complete disappointment all around.

I had a terrible week, and a few dumb calls on my part gave me a 22 point loss to the new girl in the league. I'm so mad at Roddy White and Ridley.
Should I play Moreno (vs NYG), A. Bradshaw (vs Mia), M. Ingram (vs TB), or E. Sanders (vs Cin) in flex week 2? I'm sitting White till he shows he's healthy, and I've got Josh Gordon on my bench while he's suspended. I've got B. Pierce and B. Tate on my bench. Should I try and trade B. Pierce for Vereen?
Also, is M. Ingram droppable in 12 team leagues? I might try to put a claim in on Hartline.

Fantasy Football perspective: They can't run the ball. couldn't in the preseason and didn't in week 1. Fisher and Schotty will be stubborn with it but unless Stacy or Cunningham become Alfred Morris, he will have to throw 35 times a game. They have some really tough games vs defenses that you should sit him against, but he's a good QB by committee guy
edit: RB is a wasteland. Best bet is to roster guys and hope they take over the the starters, though teams were so quick to abandon the run week 1, league might just go street ball
That's a lot of RBs on the bench. But all good candidates to hold on to. I would drop Ingram I guess if I had to drop one of them. Flip a coin on the Flex. I guess Moreno but whoever you pick is just a crap shoot imo

FF is a crap shoot and is my least liked fantasy sport.

funnily enough, the only reason I won the title in this one league last year was because the RB waiver-wire situation was so dire late-season (had to pick up a carolina RB, lost by 1 because of it, made the playoffs as a super-strong #3 instead of a superstrong #1 and had ridiculously good luck with matchups as a result)
on that note: 3-0 to start the year, and somehow still projected to make the super stragglers playoffs in spite of my weird fixation with stockpiling TEs

a) Z receiver in the Shanny offense doesn't usually see alot of targets, slotman (Moss) and X (Garcon) do. He's worth holding onto to see if his role expands the next week or two, but not starting now.
b) Saints won't do that unless an injury happens.

Hey fellas, a few lineup questions:
Yahoo standard scoring league, start two:
Arian Foster vs TEN / Steven Jackson vs STL / Marshawn Lynch vs SF / Ryan Mathews vs PHI
1PPR, start two:
Trent Richardson vs BAL / Alfred Morris vs GB / MJD vs OAK / Joique Bell vs ARI
and
Marques Colston vs TB / Eric Decker vs NYG / Roddy White vs STL
Leaning toward Foster/Jackson in the first, then Richardson/Morris and Colston/Decker in the second. Good calls? No?

I think Foster/Jackson should be fine, wouldn't use Lynch on SF D if you have another decent option and you do. It keeps sounding as though White is banged up so if that remains the case going into the weekend you're probably better off looking elsewhere. If Decker is your best option then yeah, I think you have it all right.
I would do the same.

Who to start at TE?
Brandon Myers or Kellen Winslow?

Probably Winslow as he's the only viable option for the Jets. Denver D is better than NE D too.
