OFFICIAL 2013 FANTASY FOOTBALL TALK

for the people who post trade opportunities, it would really be best to post your team, your potential trade partner's team, and the type of league.

if there's no context, how can we really evaluate the benefit of the trade?
 
is it weird that im excited? i expect to be let down tho :lol:
:lol: Nah man I'm excited as hell too. I've had him stashed on my bench since week 1 and was expecting a week 11 return at the earliest, so getting him back in week 8 would be great. With Larry Fitz hurting, Cecil Shorts hurting, and Kenbrell Thompkins being inconsistent, I'm hoping he comes back and gets right on track so I can have a steady WR2. That, along with Gronk's imminent return, will get my 3-3 team ready to rock :pimp:. Charles, Bush, Bernard, Stafford, Garçon, and the Chiefs D have all been cooking for me so far so the addition of Harvin and Gronk will really put me on top. I hope :lol:.

Brees owners...

Ride with Josh Freeman this week...

1) Monday night game - always nice to have a QB loaded for that game because no lead is safe
2) Monday night game vs The Giants - terrible defense, and a potential extremely high scoring game
3) AP factor - the monday night crew is going to milk that story for all it's worth, and expect a major performance from him, especially dump passes
4) Corderelle Patterson - Cassell or Ponder did not have a cannon big enough to hit him deep, Freemen can, and will get at least 2 plays dialed up for it
5) Goal line naked bootleg - if you thought Ponder had space to run, wait til you see the lanes the Freemen is going to have for rushing yards

NT Fam, I am on the hunt for Jamal Charles, who on my team is worth a trade for him?
your RB is decent, id be worried about your WR's. Jones will be out at least 1-2 weeks, Calvin is still up in the air.

in your case, honestly  the only player you could offer  charles for is brees. The owner will not go for it unless he has a qb outside the top 10 qbs

i own charles and Cam is my qb, i was offered rodgers for him and i turned it down. charles is the highest scoring back right now.

Lol if you think Freeman is going to run the ball. This ain't the 2010 Freeman you remember.

I do think the Vikings receivers like Jennings and Patterson will have value going forward though with his ability to throw the deep ball.
 
Patterson's value is nil right now no matter who's under center. They don't give points for "a very talented player neglected playing time for undisclosed and unjustifiable reasons" yet on Yahoo at least. Can't speak for ESPN, don't have a league on there.
 
is there a reason Patterson doesn't get any play?

I never really hear about anything except that he's a talented player, but gets zero touches
 
Is trading Gio for Doug Martin really a good idea at this point? Even as a Bucs fan I'm questioning it. Bengals are a winning team with a great offensive line and Gio is explosive every time he touches the ball. Also a better pass catcher. Doug is a workhorse that's gonna get every carry but our line is beat up and our team is in disarray to say the least.
as a bucs fan can you tell me why the coaching staff is playing zone def with revis.  total insanity.  the best cover man playing zone.  wtf

cause with very few exceptions rookie wr's take 3yrs to play well. yes , there are exceptions but for most its the 3erd year that they take off. 
 
No, but both he and Shariff Floyd are in the bottom-5 of eligible first-round picks in terms of playing time, according to Andrew Krammer of 1500 ESPN Twin Cities.

It almost seems like the coaching staff is so preoccupied with the revolving doors of quarterbacks that they don't have time to brainstorm a way to use Patterson creatively. if you watched any of the Vikings games in preseason (I know I'm speaking to like 6% of you, it's preseason, who cares) but the speed of the game did not look too fast for him at all. Yeah the defenses were vanilla, but were the offenses not? He has a variety of talent, just find a way to use him.
 
Dwayne Bowe is droppable, at this point right? 12 man , .5ppr

I'm debating between him or Greg Jennings. Need some bench space for a bye week TE.

I can't imagine anybody would be dumb enough to accept a trade for Bowe.

That's what I'm wondering too. I drafted Patterson hoping he'd show up sometime. I still have him but will probably drop him if my waivers come through. I've added, started, then dropped his teammate Jerome Simpson twice this season already

i offered the bowe owner stevie johnson and he declined. this was before stevie got hurt. i was just trying to shore up my wr depth on my bench. got dez, wes and steve smith starting, with stevie and kenbrell on the bench

Bilal Powell for Decker (I have Peyton)

Powell for James Jones

Powell for Stevie Johnson

Powell for Roddy White

Alshon
D.Jax

Pass. Shop Powell and Nicks and see what kinda back you can get.
 
Randall Cobb has been placed on IR Designated To Return.

This means the earliest he can come back is Week 15.

Does this make him droppable for teams whose record doesn't afford them the luxury of stashing him?

how many td's does cj have this year.  do you really think he is going to turn it around ? put newton and gates 2gether for a real rb and pick up some te on ww.  sorry to say but your team needs to change up.

That's what I figured.  There's just always going to be a bit of reluctance in outright cutting a guy you spent a high pick on.

For any worried Doug Martin owners, perhaps a bit of patience is in order:

Through 6 games in 2012:  408 yds, 2 total TDs

Through 6 games in 2013:  409 yds, 1 total TD

He has one of the easier schedules ahead of him in terms of rush defense.

Speaking of schedules, here's an aggregate breakdown of strength of schedule by position as of Week 7.
