Giving it serious thought.

Sadly, I think the Dolphins could be really good this year... but I smell a shoot out tonight, or at least think the Steelers will be playing from behind fairly early, so I'd stick with Roethlisberger.

60-80% chance of rain push you off that idea at all?

Maybe. But without Bell, he may chuck it 50 times tonight.

Yup, Gore over Forsett was dumb. Gore got injured.

Was really bemoaning my decision to keep Luck over Kelce, but Eifert made me feel better later in the afternoon.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 11:46 am

Eli Manning against the Falcons or Marcus Mariota against the Browns?

I'm leaning towards the latter.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 11:49 am

I wouldn't put too much stock in one game, yet. I'd go with the former.

I suggested Hyde but you didn't keep Hyde. Hyde did good.

Mariota gonna spend the day on his back.

He did...he helped me seal the win since I ended up drafting him anyway.

Hope so, even though I cut the Browns D/St to pick up the Saints (vs Jameis).

Also, unsure of whether to start Palmer or Ryan this week. Thoughts?

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Fri Sep 18, 2015 12:04 pm

This also doubles as a bitching thread, right?

Of course I didn't start Emmanuel Sanders.

True.

But This morning when I woke up I had a bad feeling about the Saints in my Survivor Pool. 331 our of 583 guys took them. I switched over to the Ravens this morning. Which isn't looking all that great come to think of it...

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Tue Sep 22, 2015 10:28 am

Fucking Andrew Luck. I needed 14.8 for the win and he gave me 14.1.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Tue Sep 22, 2015 12:11 pm

Maybe you should have drafted Andrew Skill hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Tue Sep 22, 2015 12:12 pm

My main team features Andrew Luck, Jimmy Graham, Lesean McCoy, Mike Evans and the Seattle defense. Looked like a good team before the season started. But, gawd, this team sucks balls.

I regret joining DSafe's league. Kept Luck and DeMarco Murray as 2 of my 3 keepers (Sanders had a good week). CBS leagues send a game recap each week. Their computer generated writeups on my games reads like fantastic trash talk. Vinatieri in both leagues hurts, a combine 1 point in 2 games. In my other league, I have a sick WR corp, but 4 out of 5 guys were injured. Alshon Jefferey was a surprise scratch after being taken off the injury list, Evans with a goose egg, Adams missing significant time with an injury and Victor Cruz as a late flier. I really fucking hope Antonio Brown stays healthy. He is a decent player.

I regret you joining, too. No other Swamper in the league has lost a game, yet you sit there at 0-2, making this entire place look bad. And one of us has two keepers from the Broncos (Demaryious Thomas and CJ Anderson) who have each been outscored by a third Bronco on his roster - a kicker. And yet, he's 2-0.

Just send in your payment already.

I'm starting to sour on PHI players in general, and I just watch the Jets defense destroy my Colts on Monday, so I pose you these:

D. Murray @ NYJ
J. Matthews @ NYJ

Possible replacements:
M. Wallace V. SD
Steve Smith Sr. V. CIN
David Johnson V. SF
D. Adams V. KC

Too early to give up on Murray or sit him for a week to see what shakes out?

Matthews I'm a coinflip on. Jets pass D is not all that great but you have to assume Matthews is going to be on Revis Island for a significant portion of the game.

I read earlier this morning that David Johnson still won't start this weekend, but he's going to be more involved with the offense. He had 16 plays last weekend and they were expecting another 5-10 plays for this weekend.

I'm starting both, but that is solely due to a lack of better options.I don't know know what the hell is going on in Philly.

I have a decision in my other league at RB2:

Jeremy Hill @ Bal
Gio Bernard @ Bal
Latavious Murray @ Cle

Marvin Lewis said he is going back to Hill, putting last weeks fumbles in the past. It is PPR, so Murray gets a bump there. Gio, too. I'm thinking I have to stick with Hill.

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Wed Sep 23, 2015 8:51 am

As of now, Smith Sr is pretty much Baltimore's only WR threat. He will at least get a ton of balls thrown his way.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Wed Sep 23, 2015 10:40 am

Yahoo free agency is really tough if you live in the Pacific time zone. Guys move from waivers to free agency, and you east coast guys snap up the better players while it is still the middle of the night out here. I don't care enough about a no-money league to get up and do pickups at 3:30 in the morning.

Had a friend who was playing ball overseas (Japan?) in one league and it completely fucked everything.

For tonight, Alfred Morris at Giants or Isaiah Crowell hosting Oakland?

For Sunday, I should be starting Foles hosting Pittsburgh over Stafford hosting Denver, right?

I'd go Crowell. Oakland's run defense has been bad so far, and the Browns are going to run the ball a lot.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Thu Sep 24, 2015 4:10 pm

Am thinking of starting Matt Jones tonight (instead of either Lamar Miller or Davante Adams).

DC guys? Is this wise?

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Thu Sep 24, 2015 5:22 pm

Sam Bradford at the Jets or Ryan Fitzpatrick against the Eagles?

Looks like Murray tweaked his hamstring. Sat out practice today, so watch that situation.

sancarlos wrote:Sam Bradford at the Jets or Ryan Fitzpatrick against the Eagles?

Don't like either.

But the Jets D could be really good this year, and Bradford only went to a state college, so I'd lean to FitzPatrick.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Sun Sep 27, 2015 3:55 pm

I really, really, really wanted to start Mathews over Lacy today, but didn't. Everywhere said that Lacy is starting despite the ankle and that is absolutely necessary to start him in fantasy. I should have went against that because I don't think he'll get the points Mathews put up.

Also, the guy I'm playing has Newton, Freeman, Green, and Smith Sr. on his bench. I should be getting disemboweled right now, but I'm not. I think I need to make up about 24 points amongst 4 players.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Sun Sep 27, 2015 6:45 pm

I am currently at 168 points with Ebron yet to play tonight.

My team includes Carson Palmer, Steve Smith, Joseph Randle and the Eagles defence. Even my kicker got me 8 points.

The guy I'm up against is at 217 with the Broncos D yet to play. Brady, Adrian Peterson, Latavius Murray, Brandon Marshall, Larry Fitzgerald and Jimmy Graham.

Wow!

Holy shit, what are typical scores in your league?

Is it wrong to cheer for an injury? CJ Anderson coming back in the game had impulsively saying fuck, then I felt bad for being pissed he didn't have a concussion. On the plus side, he hasn't done shit since coming back in. So many expected starting RBs doing shit. Murray, Anderson, Hill... Strange year, but it's still early. QBs, too, now that I think about it. Luck was horrendous until the second half today, Manning looked horrible week 1, Brees hurt for what seems like the first time since moving to NO, Brady out with the suspension...

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:44 am

Typical score for a win are in the 110-130 range.

Flex coinflip: Golden Tate @ SEA or take a flyer on Victor Cruz lighting it up his first week back against BUF?

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.
