Yeah, he was taken last minute. I'm bound to lose this week. Had to go with Geno Smith. Oh well. I'm bombing this year anyway.

Yeah going against Cincy is not going to be a great performance from him this week. I still say he will get you around 15. What other options do you have in FA?

[Mt. Crushmore]

Pick 1 for my flex spot non-ppr 

 

RB Maurice Jones Drew (vs SF)

WR Brandon Gibson (vs NE)

WR Michael Floyd (vs ATL)

 

Currently I have Floyd starting.

Maurice Jones-Drew. Should get you 50 yards, maybe a score.

 

I have trouble trusting anyone thats is getting the ball thrown to by Carson Palmer.

Floyd is hot right now and has been consistent all season, i'd start him over MJD and Gibson.

First time asking advice from other's in my league this season, but my team has frustrated me so much this year. Specifically Spiller/MJD/Gonzalez/Nicks (basically everyone besides Peyton). 

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

 

 

1PPR League-

 

TE: Tony Gonzalez(@ARI) or Jordan Reed (@DEN)

 

Flex x2: Julian Edelman (vsMIA) or Zac Stacy (vsSEA) or Chris Ivory (@CIN) or Maurice Jones-Drew (vsSF)

Gonz and Reed will both have big games. Either will be wise.

 

I would go Stacy and Ivory based on carries.

I believe in Gonzo too but man has he been lackluster this season. No matter, i plugged both in taking your advice,also because i have been leaning that way too.

 

Stacy or Ivory? Kinda leaning toward Stacy seeing as how St.L probably will be leaning on him...

QB:

Should I start Michael Vick vs NYG or Russell Wilson vs Seattle?

WR:

Should I start Hakeem Nicks vs PHI or Danny Amendola vs Miami?

[NFLfan123]

Should I start Justin Blackmon vs SF or Larry Fitzgerald vs Atlanta?

I'd start Wilson this week. I've been lucky enough to pick up Vick off Waivers this week, but the Giants D looked solid against Minnesota, and I'm just not sure if Vick has fully recovered from injury, so I'm expecting the Eagles to rely a lot more on the running game this week. Also, with Clemons at QB, I think the Rams will struggle to keep their offense on the field, giving Wilson a lot more opportunities.

I could also pick up Amendola off waivers this week. I'm waiting to see how he gets through this game before picking him up though. He will play this week, but I doubt he'll be used often enough to be a fantasy starter. He's a solid possession receiver, but I doubt he'll be risked much this week with Gronk back and Edelman performing fairly well. Even though Nicks hasn't been great this year, he could see some joy against the Eagles. They did a great job against Dallas, but I think Eli will test the Philly secondary early and often.

I have Jordan Cameron starting in two leagues, but I have no confidence in Jason Campbell, especially against that Chiefs D.

In one league, the best choices I could pick off waivers are Jordan Reed, Heath Miller, Charles Clay or Jared Cook

In the other, Heath Miller, Brent Celek, Kyle Rudolph or Scott Chandler.

Who would you go for?

[Jalxsu]

Should I start Justin Blackmon vs SF or Larry Fitzgerald vs Atlanta?

I have both these guys too, and whilst Fitz has disappointed this year, I'm taking him vs the Falcons.

I love Blackmon, if he played at a better team he'd be a superstar. I think he's up on the same level as the likes of Demarius Thomas.

But....

Against the 49ers, I have a bad feeling the Jags won't even get a single TD.

Fitz seems to always have a good game when I sit him. He has a really favorable match up this week, and if Matt Ryan has a good game and the Falcons take an early lead, Palmer may have to air the ball out a lot, which can only be a good thing for those of us who own Mr Fitzgerald!

Typically after I drop him, Ivory seems to have taken over the number 1 back role for the Jets. Problem is, they seem to change who gets the carries week by week. He could have a huge day, or Powell may take over. So I'd take Stacy.

With Clemons at QB, the Rams should try to keep things simple. Stacy has looked solid since taking over the lead back role, so I'd expect him to be run in to the ground against Seattle. If you were Fisher, would you feel confident letting Clemons air the ball out (without a top level receiver) against what is probably the best secondary in the game?

Need 1 - PPR League

 

Andre Ellington

Cecil Shorts

Terrance Williams

[rmw10]

Okay let's redo this:

 

Need 1 for my PPR in my flex spot:

 

Jimmy Graham (active, but still hurt)

Terrance Williams (starting in place of Austin)

Cecil Shorts (starting)

Andre Ellington (starting in place of Mendenhall)

 

 

Who do I go for here?  It sound obvious to go with Graham, but I'm not sure how his injury is going to affect him.

It's between him and Williams.  Williams has the DET/DAL likely shootout in his favor, but it's still Jimmy Graham and it's hard not to play him.  10 minutes to decide lol.

I'm benching Graham in two leagues.  Even if he does play, if (or more like when) the Saints get a lead, Graham is done for the day.  I'm not even sure if he even takes a snap even though he's active.  

 

He's tough to bench Graham.  But I'm doing it today.  

 

I like WIlliams.  SHOULD be a shootout w/ no Austin.

I ended up going with TWill.  I think he's a safer bet.

Jordan Reed

He's becoming RG3's security blanket and should get yards

Heath Miller

Oakland's LBs are pretty solid in coverage, but they usually give their receivers 5 yards of space allowing for many check downs/yards (see Antonio Gates vs Raiders)

[PuRock]

Dead wrong about Jimmy Graham.  In fact, I'm dead wrong about nearly everything.  Could be my worst fantasy week this year.  Whoo-Hoo!  Seems like anyone I own can't do anything, while everyone I am playing against is rocking. Right now 0-6 seems possible. 

 

Just one of those weeks.   Time to do go something productive.

I got excited when I saw I was beating you 50 to 4 on NFL.com but then I saw you only have 2 guys playing right now so it should be close.

I think you'll be fine.  I was looking good in the 1st quarter.  Then within 5 minutes,  Gordon scores a long one, Bailey kicks a 50+ yarder and Dez reels one in.  

 

How does Darren Sproles who has Drew Brees (who has 1000 points and I'm playing against in 4 leagues) have only 1.57 points?

I spiked Sproles' pregame drink.

Can Jason Campbell complete the game winning drive? He's played well vs an elite defense

[BMOREHAWAII]

Good advice so far my friend. We'll see how tomorrow goes for Stacy and co. although im hoping for big things, i just need help to give me a small edge to soothe the points over..

 

[Alexir]

Should I cut Panthers' Defense and pick back up Ravens' D or should I stick with the Panthers?

[gabefergy]

Thats a tough one. Carolina still has Saints x2 I think so that doesn't look great. Ravens have been consistent and its always fun to cheer for Ravens D. It's close but I would take Ravens.

[easternshore97]

Nice one. I may need to employ your services in the coming weeks for potential game breakers I may be competing against

Yeah. I think the bye is going to help get our front 3 healthy. Ill keep the waiver in.
