Fantasy Football Vent and Discussion Thread

C.J. Anderson vent - 

 

This guy is the disease of the year for my team. Drafted in 2nd round, started him for weeks and he did absolutely nothing. Picked up Hillman and wasted 2 roster spots for weeks waiting for someone to emerge as the lead back. Hillman appeared to have it 2 weeks ago, so I drop C.J. He has his first good game and gets picked up off waivers. 

 

If that guy blows up to finish and Hillman takes a back seat again ... I'm going to be sick. 

When we were drafting teams for my league I heavily considered Anderson to be my second RB because I figured the Broncos would be running more often. I ended up going with Gurley instead. I'm pretty happy with that choice.

I picked Tevin Coleman over Devonta Freeman, thinking Coleman's early opportunities with Freeman hurt would win him the job. That was pretty depressing.

I think agholor.

I decided to roll with Rodgers in hope that he gets a TD

If you are playing br.com legends league on nfl.com - fat boy Eddie Lacy is on a trading block. I had enough patience with him over last couple years. Dropped Karlos Williams to the bench today to play Lacy - 20+ points diff. And I'm going to lose by 12.

Good call

My dad picked up the one kicker to get an injury, Nick Folk

Lol, my son's dad did the same - I had Tucker on bye. Thankfully, he wasn't needed.

That's a strange way to phrase it

I did the same with catanzaro on bye. I also had rueb in to replace John brown until early this morning I put in Woods. Doh!

[52520Andrew]

Good call

Yeah I was happy when he got the first TD, the rest was icing on the cake although I am up by 50 so I am not complaining

[RaineV1]

Well, I got destroyed this week, ending my five game win streak. I wish I could blame it on the bye (I had to sit Palmer, Fitz, and Houschka), but I can't. Carr did a great job and so did Hurns. No, it was the other players underperforming. The Rams' defense/ST in particular. Also D. Thomas. I swear that guy won't score a single other touchdown this season. Also, the injury bug really didn't help. Dion went down for the game, and naturally my opponent had Blount, who got all the carries because of that.

I took DeAngelo and Lamar Miller today on a hunch. Paid off BIGGGG

Well played. I didn't do great at RB in my DFS leagues this week. I used Jeremy Hill a lot which hurt Dion Lewis, mark Ingram were ok for me. I had Antonio Brown in every lineup. My best play. I did well with Crabtree. ODB was just ok who I had a lot of too. Walker at TE was good to me as well. Hipefully Stevie Hohnson comes through on Minday.

[balfan23]

Anyone else face the NYG defense and lose by less than 7 this week? 

 

If you did, you know what I'm talking about. If you didn't, you may be wondering  ... TB in desperation mode on the final play, throws a lateral pass halfway across the field, which was fumbled. NYG D picks up the fumble and walks into the endzone for a TD as time expires 

 

Kind of an indication as to how my football season (both fantasy and the Ravens) is going.

While that's bad ... what is worse is being a Dion Lewis owner ... I picked him up off waivers several weeks ago and that smooth move made up for the pathetic C.J. Anderson draft pick. Now I'm down to running with Miller and a potted plant at RB.

If we were in the same league, I'd happily trade a stump for your potted plant.

I am a Dion owner. So my Flex player going down made my opponent's runningback have a better game.

 

And I just saw he was done for the season. That really sucks. I still have Ingram, Gurley, and Forsett on my team, but he was a pretty high scorer.

I was .1 point behind my opponent heading into MNF. He had Woodhead, I had Robbie Gould. I lost. Second loss of the season!

Oh - I misunderstood ... Yes, your misery has company in me.

I traded for Andrew Luck this morning...

Wow. Hopefully it wasn't too much

[RavensPunkXVX]

Got offered Jimmy Graham for TJ Yeldon.

Gurley and Forsett are my backs. TE is really the only position I lack consistency. Recently picked up Crockett. Also have Charles clay, but trying to find the right fit.

Suggestions?

Is Delanie Walker available? He could be worth picking up. Also, there's Garrett Celek. Gabbert and him seem to have some chemistry. Otherwise, it could be smart to just start Clay and hope he doesn't get hurt.

[Purple_ICE 81]

Need DST opinions...Im an every week streamer and currently have Cincy/GB in my lineup. I feel like GB should get at least 3 or more sacks against the Lions terrible o-line they gave up 5or 6 to the Vikes, and another 4 or 5 to the Chiefs in their past 2 games.

Philly, and Pittsburgh are available but if Josh Mccown plays it should be a much tougher matchup for Pitt ...so I got some thinking to do

Lost Keenan Allen, Steve Smith Sr. and Dion Lewis in a one week span, and then Eddie Lacy gets demoted. I could be just keeping the seat warm until I'm dethroned. It's been a savage 10 days.

I would not do that deal. I'd want a lot more for a quality starting RB than an underachieving name in Graham. I'd rather roll with Gilmore stream other tight ends. Starting RBs are very few and far between right now. I'd put Yeldon in the flex every week.

[ravensdan]

Who would you start in the flex

WR John Brown @ Seatyke

RB Ryan Mathews v Miami

[CorvusCorax]

Cutler throws for 373 yds, 3 TD and Jeffery has just 23 yds...

That killed me. I just traded for Jeffery too.
