OFFICIAL 2014 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD

[fraij da 5 11]

 

 
Yea both of those trades were in the same league... I was going to have to drop someone to pick up a defense today anyways.

Owner with Brees wasn't feeling the RGIII and Dez for Brees offer so I found him a QB he'd like more by shipping RGIII and Forsett to someone looking for RB and got Russy.  Promptly sent over the Russy x Dez combo and got Brees back.

And yea its 6 pts per pass TD. 

Who's your other WR's bro? Parted with Dez with the quickness lol... Wouldn't mind having Russell as my QB

 

[steebie j]

champcruthik what do u think of the Titans defense at home vs Dallas?

 

[champcruthik]

Repped Champ.

Sent an offer for my Cooks and Ahmad Bradshaw for his Josh Gordon and Bernard Pierce. I have Antonio Brown, D Jax, and Kelvin Benjamin on my squad already. What you think?

Fair offer, you win if Gordon plays even half the season.

Cutler or Cam this weekend?

Considering Cutler as my opponents WRs are Jeffrey and Marshall.. Only makes sense right!?

SF is a tough draw, competent secondary. Jeffery and Marshall are physical, but will they win their matchups? I'm starting a healthy Cam every week over Cutler.

Seems like you should go with Cutler.. although I'm interested to hear the opinions on that situation since you're facing Marshall and Jeffrey

Alright, I ended up claiming Josh Gordon and dropped Kendall Wright, standard league. Good way to start the morning after not being able to sleep.

Also got Matt Bryant as opposed to Mike Nugent. Which kicker you guys like better? I tend to rotate kickers and D/ST week to week... but I wouldn't mind keeping Bryant or Nugent long term considering the depth of the kickers in free agency in my league (not a lot of kickers left for some reason)

Bryant in a dome for the season. Accurate, has 50-yarders in him.

I see you, Thompson.

Fitzgerald vs Giants or Boldin vs Bears

Q. Mantle has seemingly passed to Floyd. Kaep looks Boldin and VD often against a vulnerable secondary.

Love Horty as a DC. Player personnel could still use another Draft/FA. I'd sit TEN this week. Romo bounces back.

Packers, Dolphins, Washington D/ST?

Packers vs Jets .. I'm not sold on Geno putting up big numbers on the road vs GB. Add in the fact GB has been off for 10 days, things could really ugly if GB jumps out to an early lead.

Dolphins vs Bills ... Buffalo usually plays good at home, beat Miami twice last season, forced 5 turnovers combined and a shutout during those games ... Not sure how I really feel about this matchup but I'm not as high on Miami as others.

Washington vs Jags .. Boom or bust type of game, Washington's defense didn't impress me vs Houston. I can see Deangelo getting a pick 6 in this one though so I'm intrigued


Thinking GB is safe but streaming D/ST always finds a way to backfire on me /

Seems like your decision is made. Your intuition screams Green Bay. My issue is their run defense, was not stout last year. Rex will dedicate carries to Ivory and CJ2K pounding the rock instead of airing it out on Shields, Tramon, Hayward.

Washington's DEF "only" allowed 321 yards against Houston, good for 11th best in Week 1. J-Ville only gained 306 yards Week 1 against Philly, even after the early two-score lead. 26th worst in the league.

I won't touch Miami, you seem resigned to the first two options.

Nuk has better immediate value this season because he's a top option after Dre in Houston. Devonta is a potential late keeper, fighting for touches with Quizz and Smith. Freeman is the long-term RB starter in ATL. I see and feel it convincingly.

Ebron at TE. Reed isn't playing this week, RG3 all but confirmed it.

Evans at WR2. 10 targets in Week 1, Tampa isn't afraid to look his direction. Bowe is not very good at this stage in his career.

How was that deal approved by commish or league votes?

C Patterson
Steve Smith or Vincent Jackson (qb issues)?

Welker and Gordon on my bench.

Smitty hoping he replicates remnants of Week 1. He's physical, gritty, and savvy. Perfect for facing the Steelers.

Minny walloped STL, but their WR didn't dominate. Jennings had a good game, CP's involvement was on the ground.

 

[maldonado]

which TE should I swoop?

Duane Allen or Zach Ertz.

I had Jordan Cameron but looks like he's going to be out.

Ertz, played 52 of 87 snaps last week. Even though only 5 targets, got 77 and 1 TD. I'd estimate he's going to become more involved each week

Allen on the other hand also had a surprising game considering Fleenor seemed to be the mainstay and his relationship with Luck... Seems a bit more of a gamble there

As a LM, I might have vetoed that just off the strength dude who got Manning is LOADED now. I'm all about competitive balance, if anything I would have made him give up Gio instead of Moreno or AJ/Marshall instead of Sanders. a first and a third or fourth round pick for a bunch of mid rounders, nah not going down in my money league

champcruthik - thanks for the defensive advice

Thats a tough one but i like the upside of Ertz

Ertz. Allen will give you productive weeks here and there, but Fleener and a deep WR corps cuts into targets. Ertz is ready to be the man in Philly, steady stream of targets from Foles. 70 balls not out the question.

Thinking about making a trade that would involve Cutler for RGIII as my QB2. This league has an OP slot where of course a QB is played. Brees is my QB1.

RG3 is slotted significantly higher for ADP and positional fantasy rankings.

Mulling an offer of Demariyus+Lacy for my Jamaal Charles+Cruz. PPR league btw. Am I crazy?

I tend to believe the DT and Lacy side is winning. It's almost impossible for Charles to match the high production from 2013. Charles' value in PPR over Lacy doesn't compensate for the drop-off between DT and Cruz IMO.

View media item 1175079

really need a rb. how would y'all go about it? should i piece together a lot for a top tier rb or go for a solid rb 2. in a ppr league btw.

Murray is an adequate RB1 barring injury. I'd upgrade the RB2 by floating S-Jax and Smitty. Hope someone bites on Smith's hot Week 1 start.

I pulled some **** off today...

Tues I picked up Forsett and dropped my Defense

Today I package Forsett and RGIII to get Russell Wilson like 2 hours ago...

Then I packaged Russell and Dez for Drew Brees and Boldin.

View media item 1175097

I'm one of the few that actually prefers RG3 to Russy. Wilson definitely has more consistency.

Acquiring Brees is for the 6-point passing TD league?

Dropped Romo for Carson Palmer hope this doesnt bite back....Romo looks clueless out there

Mistake, my friend. Week 1 overreaction. Romo is going to throw 30+ TD this season.

Am I crazy for thinking about dropping Romo? I currently have Foles as my starter, and if I need a backup QB I would look at Locker who is available on the waiver wire. I would drop Romo for either Sproles, Justin Hunter, Terrance West, D. Hopkins, or Wheaton? PPR league, .5 per rush, 10 team league.

I believe West, Wheaton, and Hunter should be owned in that order for PPR. But I wouldn't drop Romo in case Foles falters to a sophomoric slump.

should i drop any of my bench for a TE, the only one i have now is Pitta, if so which TE

Heres my bench.
Crabtree
Romo
Freeman
Carolina D
Ingram 
J. Gordon

No, Pitta is a solid starter. Add/drop as needed for Baltimore's bye week.

Offered Cruz and Forsett for Keenan Allen and Lamar Miller. Pointless trade?

No, you win that deal. Selling Forsett high while the Rice news just broke. Hope he accepts.

I have Foles already Champ so its a win win already Romo was on the bench anyway

 

[maldonado]

the team:

QB- Matt Stafford
RB - Adrian Peterson
RB - Montee Ball
WR - Julio Jones
WR - DeSean Jackson (had K. Allen here, but like the matchup against JAX this week)
TE - Zach Ertz
Flex - Gio Bernard

bench:
RB - Shane Vereen
RB - Carlos Hyde
WR - Keenan Allen
WR - Julian Edelman
WR - "COOK" Gordon
WR - Cody Latimer

 

[tpfltxl]

.5 PPR

Ertz @ IND  or Pitta vs PIT.. Leaning towards Ertz. I don't like playing TNF

Wright vs Dallas or Jeffery @ SF.. Leaning towards Wright since Jeffery questionable

@champcruthik - thanks for the defensive advice

I did veto.  The league has a few first time players and I dont think they realized they had to veto the trade.  As soon as it was excepted everyone went nuts.  I think they are reversing it now because everyone threatened to quit the league lol.  The dude who dealt peyton drafted an AWFUL team, so he was desparate for RBs after week one.

.5 PPR

Ertz @ IND or Pitta vs PIT.. Leaning towards Ertz. I don't like playing TNF

Wright vs Dallas or Jeffery @ SF.. Leaning towards Wright since Jeffery questionable

Pitta historically has not had success against the Steelers, sans on game in 2011. On the other hand, how can you deny 14 targets in Week 1?

I'd start Ertz thinking he nabs a TD, but in PPR Pitta is largely more effective because of Kubiak.

I would start Wright in a PPR format, but Jeffery will likely play. SF's secondary is a tough draw. Big and physical, they match well with Jeffery and Marshall.

Just dropped Pierce for West now that Ben Tate's annual injury kicked in.

Feel real solid about my team. If I can pry Bell to handcuff with bush I'll feel better.

Foles
Marshawn
Sproles
Dez Bryant
Jordy Nelson
Kyle Rudolph
K Benjamin

R.Bush
Desean Jackson
Ty Hilton
cam Newton
D. Bowe
Carlos Hyde
T.West

Bowe has limited value, upside this season. Hasn't caught over 60 balls the last two seasons, only 8 TD. Barely 1,500 yards combined over that span.

 

[proshares]

I wouldn't say Floyd is the clear cut favorite because of anything Carson is doing. Fitz looked bad trying to get open against SD. He literally may have got separated twice. Carson is right to say that he shouldn't force the ball in there. Not gonna overreact to one game, hoping this isn't the beginning of a slide.

That was more an NFL thread post than a fantasy post but w/e
