Who else does Kaep have to throw to, besides Davis?

Ask Joe whether forcing throws to players that aren't open is the road of fantasy greatness.

If you want to be technical, joe did win a Super Bowl doing that

Boldin won't be open like that against most teams.

Boldin won't be open like that against most teams.

 

We shall see how Boldin 3.0 does.  Kaep's passing skills will definitely elevate him, though.

Stay away from Joique Bell in FA.  He has one of the toughest defensive schedules of the year.  Leshoure should be back at some point.  And MIN sucks. :p

Detroit's coaching staff hates Leshoure.  He was a healthy scratch.  So as long as Bush & Bell stay healthy, I expect Leshoure to ride the pine.  

 

Bell did vulture two touchdowns away from Bush.  But its clear they want to use him as the goalline back.  The fact that he was able to punch it in, makes Leshoure even more expendable.  I wouldn't rush to own Bell.  But he is getting touches and is behind a fragile Bush.

I wouldn't consider Bush "fragile".

[RavensPunkXVX]

I need 51 points to win. My remaining players;

 

WR Garcon

HB Morris

K Kai Forbath

DB Kareem Jackson

 

In other words; go Redskins!

 

He also has Arian Foster so hopefully he gets negative 10 yards and 2 fumbles.

Of course. I'm not saying it doesn't work. I'm just saying that "Boldin is one of two good receivers on the team" doesn't necessarily mean that he's going to put up enough fantasy points every week to be considered a steal.

[gabefergy]

I doubt that.

[flaccopoe]

I doubt that.

 

As I said, we'll see.  How are you doing in your Leagues?

[flaccopoe]

Damn, Kaep and McCoy have delivered my 1st loss this year.  Still 2/3 with 2 blowouts!

[PuRock]

Man I have the number 1 waiver wire spot in my league of record.  I don't know if I want to use it this week or wait.  Its so hard getting back that spot.  Looking at Julius Thomas but I have Jimmy Graham.  Could go dual TE in a ppr league where my WRs are weak.  

[SecretAgentMan]

Ugh..

 

League One(Matt Ryan) 1-0

 

League 2 (Arian Foster) 0-1

 

DAMN YOU ALFRED MORRIS

 

[T3hRaven]

I had a really bad fantasy week.  I think I only pulled it out in two of my leagues.

[The Oakland Cathedral]

Same. I went 2-4 this week

[Gordo52]

Eagles vs Chargers or Cowboys @ Chiefs?

[Sizzlebshu]

Eagles vs Chargers or Cowboys @ Chiefs?

Both equally bad but I'm gonna take the eagles

[RavensPunkXVX]

I was a victim of Demarius Thomas. Morris didn't produce as I thought he would, but I also started Isaac Redman. Smh. Released him.

Picked up Marlon Brown off the waiver wire.

Think it'd be smart putting him in my flex spot as we take on the Browns? I think he'll have a big game against them.

It depends on whether Caldwell is going to force the ball to Rice and the TEs, or run more 3 and 4 WR sets. If he puts more emphasis on the WRs, Marlon could do well, since the Browns will have their only good CB on Torrey.

[NaveSenrag]

In other news, I've got a Ravens fan trying to trade me Jordy Nelson for Torrey. I feel a little bad about it, but fleecing homers is too much fun.

Marlon will get a lot of targets against CLE.  Haden will mostly guard Torrey and Flacco has few other reliable options, so Marlon should have a huge game.

[flaccopoe]

Damn, NE scored 16 pt against me...  Edelman got me 8.2, which is a little disappointing.

[flaccopoe]

Thank goodness Wilson and Ridley didn't fall to me in the Drafts!

[MTRavensFan]

You, know I've been thinking that, too.

Really wanting to start him this week, but the question is, who do I sit to make room?

Torrey, for the reason above, Fitzgerald with the slight injury, or Boldin because of the matchup with Richard Sherman?

Such a tough decision...

I would reluctantly go with Sherman.  Torrey and Marlon should have a LOT of fantasy pt between them.

Edelman will suck in a standard league without TDs.  I was very happy with him in my ppr league.  Scored me 20 points.

I think everyone was surprised that Brady's passing TD streak broke yesterday.

[gabefergy]

He threw a TD...

[flaccopoe]

Oh yeah, I forgot the Kenbrell Thompkin blown-coverage TD.  Nevertheless, you get my point.
