ESPN Fantasy Football 2010-2011

Because Thomas has fallen where as this Anthony Armstrong kid has risen. Wahsignton has had a better preseason then Thomas.

[Romo Ravens]

I still trust Thomas to step up when the season starts, but I'm glad you're paying attention.

That was a test, you passed.

[Wacko4Zacko]

Im just reading articles and news and listening to fantasy experts including you guys!

Plus With Kenny Britt out of shape and having a abd offseaosn, Justin Gage MIGHT have a torn ligament in his thumb. I think Nate Washington may be the #1 guy.

Where as Devin Thomas could be the #2 or likely the #3 guy in Washington.

[Romo Ravens]

That's the way to go Wacko. I really like your time contrary to what others might say about it. Washington made a nice catch tonight but I didn't watch the whole game. He's looking like he's playing well though. I couldn't see the Redskins and Ravens play either so I'm not in the know with their WR core. Nice to see everyone paying attention. Could be a competitive year.

[Wacko4Zacko]

Thanks!

Last week Nate Washington had [i]2 receptions for 25 yards[/i] Then this week he had [i]3 receptions for 44 yards[/i] Also not to mention he was the best Titans WR for both games.

It's good to have some talent on the wire. Then when injuries start there is still some decent talent to pick from.

Yeah I don't think we need to increase the Bench Roster but you just have to be smart with dropping guys and trades which is why I like the 3 trade limit and I also like the number of players on the bench, it adds strategy.

Adding spots to the bench or even upping the trade limit would have took the strategy out of FF by taking the easy way out. Romo don't change anything, there's so much strategy involved with talented players available and figuring out who you want to drop to add that players makes it fun.

I been thinking about adding some talented players from the FA to my bench but I just can't figure out who I want to drop and I always find myself second guessing adding the player and telling myself to wait to see if injuries happen.

LOL, I just dropped Anthony Gonzalez for Louis Murphy lol that is one move I feel confident about and won't second guess.

Probably not a bad bet, I heard Chaz Schilins could have surgery again (unsure if that rumor is true or not).

[Wacko4Zacko]

Jo_75 check your PM's.

Btw guys, Sidney rice had surgeyr, so who ever has him should probably drop him seeing as he could be out for 8-10 weeks.

I'm not sure about dropping him but pick up a free agent who can be reliable until he is healed up.

[Wacko4Zacko]

Not many good free agent WR out there. Looks like Team, saoud has Sidney Rice, so I guess he will have to make a trade.

[JO_75]

Just updated my Trade Block and here is who is available:

- Matt Forte
- Hines Ward
- Robert Meachem
- Carson Palmer

I took Steve Smith(NYG) off the block as I will just keep him. You would think it would be dumb to trade Forte but I am looking for RB help so if someone has a decent RB they want to get rid of I'll give them Forte. Carson and Ward hasn't changed, they have been the block for a while now.

[Wacko4Zacko]

Im keeping my eyes on Meachem

[Romo Ravens]

Forte is someone who is surprising me a lot. I still probably wouldn't trade for him, but he's someone to keep your eye on, even it was just a preseason game. It looks like he has a fire under his butt because of Chester Taylor.

Yeah I'm not sure if I'll get a trade offer for Forte but I figured if I could get a better back out of it I would go for it. I'm still skeptical of the Bears offensive line which is another reason why I put him on the trade block.

[JO_75]

Just Had another FF Draft tonight and even though I missed the first part of it because I was caught up in the Ravens/Giants & Texans/Cowboys game. I started drafting in Round 7, Rounds 1-6 are all Autopick. I still managed to get a pretty good roster with some good steals late. What do you guys think?

QB- Tony Romo (5th Round)
RB- Steven Jackson (1st Round)
RB- Beanie Wells (3rd Round)
RB/WR- Joseph Addai (4th Round)
WR- Reggie Wayne (2nd Round)
WR- Percy Harvin (Round 6)
TE- Jason Witten (Round 7)
Defense- Ravens (Round 8)
K- Garrett Hartley (Round 14)

Bench:
- Derrick Mason(WR, Round 9)
- Carnell Williams(RB, Round 10)
- Owen Daniels(TE, Round 11)
- Jericho Cotchery(WR, Round 12)
- Alex Smith(QB, Round 13)
- Malcolm Floyd(WR, Round 15)
- Mardy Gilyard(WR, Round 16)

[Wacko4Zacko]

I think Take Gilyard away.

It's about time you rejuve'd this thread. Got my team all set and ready to go. Got a good matchup against lowrider this week.

Looking forward to getting this going, so tired of the "Rate my Teams pleases". Too bad I have zero players (on all my four teams) playing tomorrow night. Guess I am low on the Vikes and Saints players.

[lowrider]

I'm so pumped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I just realized I have 7 teams this year haha.

I had to at some to get the trash talking started haha. I'm so happy the season starts tomorrow. I hope everyone has their team ready to go.

I don't have a single player plating tomorrow either haha. Although Tre has AP. Looking forward to that

Holy crap! I thought two was enough for me hahaha. We should really set something up with the Mod's and have this league mean something towards BR.com

Yeah I went a bit overboard I suppose. But once you research and know who you like, its easy to pick after that.

Doesn't matter if it doesn't mean anything, I'll make sure to rub it in everyone's faces anyone. Bragging rights is enough for me.

I hate on opening night when you don't have anybody starting but the team you're playing against has one or two guys.

It's even worse when those one or two guys go off and have great games. Then you have to sit for 3 days until your team gets going.

Oh I agree, and to me the thing that really gets me is Monday Night Football where your team played throughout Sunday and your opponent has 1 or 2 players that play on Monday Night and your winning against him that just annoys me. I always wind up doing calculations figuring how far I'm ahead to figure out how much he needs to win and I'm like why couldn't he had been done yesterday.

Funnily, I have Drew Brees in one league but am playing against a guy who has Drew in another. And amazingly, I have Flacco in my league and am going against Alexir who has Joe in ATD's league.

Me too, it doesn't help that I have neurotic tendencies. I also sit there figuring out calculations as to what that player will do. Then when the game is going on, I'm freakin out about every catch, multiplying it by how many minutes are left.

Haha I remember one game last year when it was the Saints and the Patriots on Monday night football, and I was down like 50 points but still had Brees and PT. I thought that there was no way, but Brees throws like 5 TD's for 395 yards and PT goes off for a couple TD's and I won by about two points. Not to mention, ESPN "projections" had me losing the matchup before it even started by like 70 points, my worst ever, and I rallied back to beat my friend.

You don't know how many calculations I've done in my head and every game I've watched to make sure my guy seals the deal or at least does me good. All this talk is making me nervous for tomorrow and the weekend and especially Monday. In my money league, I have Rice playing for me and I'll probably be down by like 15, so I'll need our boy to come in the clutch.

[AwakenTheDemon]

I was tempted to start Berrian with Rice out. Thankfully I shot that idea down, his whopping 0 points just isn't worth it.

[T-ray]

The guy in my league had Favre, Harvin, Saints D, and Roman Harper; scored a measly 17 points. Favre and Harvin scored a combined 2.5 points in my league haha. And the worse thing is, he put Favre in at the last second in place of Brady.

Even when Rice when out and Berrian's stock went up, I'm not sold on him. He struggles with injuries and consistency. Favre likes guys that catch balls that are thrown his way.

It seemed at times Favre got ticked at Berrian a few times. I don't expect much from him this season. I think Carmillo has better stats.
