I'd opt for getting a free agent. I love Cruz, and have him stashed on one roster, but I can't see him contributing much his first game back, especially against a great D. Give Cruz a couple weeks, then hope he can contribute. Tate hasn't done much and SEA has SEA Def.

Good Call. It's a deep league but I like Marvin Jones against KC this week and it was an easy pickup.

I'm seriously considering starting Tyrod Taylor of Andrew Luck.

I'm loving the Tyrod Taylor experience thus far, but the Jags have given up 10 tds and picked off 1. 318 ypg.

Yeah. Picked Taylor up as insurance in case the shoulder is more serious than they are letting on, mostly.

Mallett was my best option, sadly.

I am a little concerned about how excited I was to pick up Derek Carr this week (especially since I was #7 in waiver priority order), considering how indifferent I was about him before the draft (he was filed under, let's call it, "well, maybe he's all right, but he's surrounded by mostly garbage, so I'm gonna put him in the undraftable pile").

Look the eff out, Sabo.

I picked a helluva week to not have Brady as my QB.

And you weren't terrifically excited to keep him a few months ago.

Oh, and I keep winning that trade that sent him to you... or something.

Who is this Karlos Williams that I signed and should I play him over L. Murray or Forsett or Ivory if he plays???

Probably not a bad play, but I'd go L Murray.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Fri Oct 02, 2015 8:33 am

It's week four and the guy I am playing left Big Ben in the lineup. That's pretty early to stop caring.

I sat Forsett to go with Murray and Williams (and Charles). Totally worked out so far, like always.

After losing a heartbreaking game last week during MNF (won't bore with details), I lost by 2 points to the perennial joke of the league, who is somehow 4-0. Looking at the scoreboard Thursday, I see his record at 3-1, then look at my record at 3-1 rather than 2-2. Last week's score is reversed. It looks like there was a change in scoring, switching a Latavious Murray (my RB) fumble to Derek Carr (his QB). Botched handoff? Quite a surprise, but I'll take it.

Yep. That one fucked me out of a win and into a tie last week. Fucking a.

Eddie Lacy can kiss my ass. I'm lucky I was able to pick up RBs that are actually doing stuff this season from the free agent list.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Sun Oct 11, 2015 7:42 pm

My starters should include Marshawn Lynch, Steve Smith and Alshon Jeffery.

I scooped up Carlos Williams last week to help out at RB.

It's a friggin disaster.

devilfluff · Post by **devilfluff** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 12:29 pm

The Charles injury is going to make finishing in the money a lot harder for me...

He was a slow starter last year as well. He than ripped off a number of huge games.

Somehow, Antonio Gates was on the waiver wire. Thanks to him, I won by 3 points this week.

Kamar Aiken, Matt Jones, Allen Robinson... a regular murderers row!

I'm pretty sure I drafted him in the 16th round. I'm expecting him to get hurt in a couple of weeks, but figured it was worth the late flyer for 3 or 4 weeks. Even if he doesn't get hurt, I think he has 8 games in him before he wears down.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 4:08 pm

You know, there are three or four tight ends who are worth treating better than kickers.

I don't think I have ever had a good one in all my years of Fantasy, so even if he lasts for a month, I am satisfied.

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 5:06 pm

He'll last a little longer than he typically does, he did have a month off already.

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 8:38 pm

Looking at the available free agents in my 10 team league, the #1 and #8 QBs are still available in Dalton and Bortles. Blake Bortles is in the top 10? Damn. I just have no room with Ryan and Eli. Then you have a guy named Tyrod at #4, and Palmer at #5. I was high on Palmer this season, but not this high. Just waiting for him to get hurt to justify not drafting him.

You like Eli better than Dalton? We disagree.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Thu Oct 15, 2015 8:09 am

It's a real coin toss - Ryan versus New Orleans or Palmer against the Steelers.

Honestly - whoever gets the most votes by end of day today will start as I have no clue.

I'd go Palmer. I'm benching Ryan for Eli vs. the Eagles tonight. It sounds like Julio Jones is playing, but I don't trust his health on a short week.

devilfluff · Post by **devilfluff** » Thu Oct 15, 2015 8:22 am

Right now, Dalton is playing like a top 5 QB. And the Steelers have a mediocre defense.

Ride that ginger pony.

Edit: Damn it! I should learn to read.

I still prefer Palmer to Ryan. But the difference is far less.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Thu Oct 15, 2015 9:50 am

Yeah, probably the Devonte Freeman show again.

I'll slot in Palmer.

Darren Sproles vs. NY Giants or Lamar Miller at Tennessee?

Non-PPR league, 6 points for a TD and 1 point for every 10 yards rushing and receiving.

Hasn't Lamar Miller been awful? Maybe that changes with the new guy, but maybe you run into more luck points with Sproles. Dunno. Bad choices.

I took Miller in the (I think) 3rd or 4th round.

Pure garbage this year so far, BUT I have a feeling the Dolphins are going to be a better team for at least the next couple of weeks. I'm starting him.

And Sproles is probably the most overrated fantasy guy out there. Maybe because announcers love him so much. You'd think that he and Woodhead have 8 pro bowls apiece.

Shit, you mentioned Woodhead. Now Rush is going to be in here in a minute. C'mon man.

Remember in the draft, when the site booted me out and you were kind enough to stop the draft and change my pick? Well fuck you. You should have stuck me with Devonta Freeman and not let me switch him out for CJ fucking Spiller. Despite not wanting Freeman, I almost kept him thinking he'd blow up if I begged out of that pick. I hate my team so much.

Sproles is one of those players you love to have if you're an NFL coach but hate to have for your fantasy team.

Let me clarify that I have Jeremy Hill and David Johnson slotted in as my starting RBs, but I'm trying to fill my RB/WR spot. In addition to Miller and Sproles, I also have Martavis Bryant as an option. But I'm not too keen on starting any Steelers' WRs until Roethlisberger starts playing again.

Miller has been a massive disappointment, but I know he'll get his share of touches. Sproles doesn't get nearly as many touches, and his value is further diminished because this isn't a PPR league. Also this league doesn't credit individuals for any return TDs, so if Sproles runs a punt back I get a whopping zero points for it. That's probably my only beef with this league.

I'd go with a free agent. Pick up Tennessee's backup RB.

Mike Wallace or Josh Brown today?
