Fantasy Vent Thread

[bauer77]

Won both of my leagues this season (which were just for fun; no cash reward). Thanks to all that have helped me on here. Much appreciated!

[Medications]

Final week of a two-week super bowl right here (combination of points for week 16&17), 2QB PPR league. I'm up by 40 points right now after week 16, so I like my chances. My two QB's are RG3 and Romo so it'll all probably come down to that game for me of I'm behind at all before 830 on Sunday. RB's are Foster and Moreno since Richardson is out this week, but I'm nervous about Foster. WR's are Andre Johnson, Decker and Garçon, and I have Graham at Te with Matt Ryan kicking and Seattle defense. This would be my first championship, I can never seem to catch a break in fantasy football

A stellar lineup! You should blow your opponent out, especially seeing as you're up 40! Do you have any last lineup/FA questions?

Thanks! $200 on the line so I hope so. I think I'm good, I've got Russell Wilson on the bench as well and I feel like he'd be a good play too, but I've gotta go with RG3 and Romo, they both had great games the last time they faced each other

C'mon, Wilson is a much more reliable fantasy player than Romo. Romo will probably choke under the pressure of lifting his team to the playoffs, like he usually does.

[Medications]

Yeah I expect his knack for choking to wind up losing them the game, but I think he'll still produce fantasy-wise. He's outscored Wilson in 4 of the past 5 weeks

I'm hearing Moreno may get rested a bit this game and Hillman will see more work, meanwhile Bernard Pierce will be getting the bulk for us in Baltimore with Ray Rice not playing at all. Would it be a bad idea to bench Moreno and start Pierce? Cincy has held 3 of their last 4 opponents to 50 yards rushing, while Denver is playing KC[/background][/size][/font][/color]

Start Pierce, Rice isn't playing.

I hope Medications didn't listen to you! 11.4 for Moreno, as opposed to 9.3 for Pierce.

It seemed like a good idea....

[flaccopoe]

Romo has 5..8 pt with 14 minutes left in the 4th. Just what I predicted!

[T3hRaven]

All 3 of my teams dominated the regular season and the playoffs. All three got to the championship. All three crapped the bed in Week 17.

My first season without a championship, half due to resting starters and half due to poor performance.

Wilson scored 25.8 pt!!!!! Romo scored 10.72! I don't mean to say I told you so, but I told you so! And you started Pierce over Moreno... Ouch! I hope you scraped a win anyway.

In a 20-year-old TD only league, I just became the FIRST EVER team in League history to win back-to-back points titles and not win the Trophy AT LEAST one of the two seasons.

Up 7 with Vernon Davis vs Marshawn Lynch & San Fran's D. Lynch scores twice while Davis gets knocked out in the first Quarter. It disgusts me how much luck has to do with this.
[/quote]

I hate quoting myself, but I decided that if my team would have won I was going to keep playing, if not I was going to stop.

The combined score in the final was 49, with one team winning 25-24. The team I would've been fielding scored FIFTY FREAKING SIX points, outscoring the the two finalists combined efforts by 7. Would've been the highest ever score in the final.

So. Frustrating.

Why'd you start Vernon Davis, he's been horrible this season! I dropped him a long time ago.

Adrian Peterson killed me smh

Haha yeah i did go with Pierce over Moreno, but I won by 48 points anyway thanks to Foster, Decker, Andre Johnson and Jimmy Graham so it didn't make a difference in the end

Anyone in a keeper have any quandaries heading into the offseason?

I have Doug Martin Arian Foster Trent Richardson Demarco Murray and Knowshon Moreno going into 2013. I have to pick 2.

I'd go with Martin and Foster. Both are young and in young, rush-leaning offenses, so they'll always get lots of runs. Richardson plays for an atrocious offense, so he won't get as many opportunities. Murray's injury-prone and plays for an underperforming offense. Moreno's getting old and McGahee will start next season.

Problem is Richardson was unhealthy this year, and Cleveland still gave him 20+ carries a game. He will have plenty of opportunties, but in all liklihood not more than Foster will endup with.

Will Chip Kelly alter your stance on Richardson?

Possibly, I also have Bryce Brown so if Kelly goes to Philly it may alter my stance there too.
