Pull the trigger on that trade

 

[childishlatino]

Should I drop Shorts or Sankey or both??

champcruthik who should I start at WR #2 and Flex?? I'm leaning towards Garçon and Davis (if he starts) if not Bush .. 0-2 got your boy STREESED

Here's a crazy thought that may work. Takes risks to win, right?

Sit Bell, Carolina's run DEF is tough. Perhaps the best in the league. Bell's damage has come through pass-catching. 136 receiving yards through two games. If you're playing standard, I'd seriously consider sitting Bell vs. Panthers.

Davis becomes your RB2. Garcon as WR2, Roddy at Flex. This is assuming White's hammy is good to go.

Otherwise Garcon at WR2, Davis at Flex.

So where do you guys think lamichael ends up?


Cards have to be his best option for what they want to do, right?

Fins. Worked him out Tuesday. Moreno out and they don't love Miller.

I like Arizona and Baltimore the most.

Should I drop Shorts or Sankey or both??

For who?

Need to pick two.
1. L. Bell
2. M. Asiata
3. D. Sproles
non ppr

I'm rolling the dice with Sproles and Asiata. Bell's receptions is 11 points you're losing in standard.

My dude is trying to trade me his C. Patterson + Knile Davis for my Gronk. I'm not really buying it, but I want to run it by you guys first


It's a 3WR/2RB league, PPR.

I have AJ Green, JVax, Maclin, & Malcom Floyd (who I'll be starting for Green if he can't go)

My RB's are weak though - Gore & J. Bell, picked up Asiata.

Kelce's my backup TE for Gronk.




I know it'll probably work out short term, but I'd like to hold out hope that Gronk can return to form. Esp. with Brady somewhat struggling, maybe they'll try to get Gronk more involved as he gets himself back into game shape. Plus Knile Davis will be irrelevant fantasy wise once Charles comes back

You need a RB, but Davis isn't the answer. I'd hold out trading Gronk for a premier RB1.

 

[checks grossman]

I'm lowwww on victor cruz. Had him in his breakout year and also last season. Eli and that offensive line won't allow anybody to flourish, trust me. Then factor in that cruz tends to drop passes and it's all bad. If you can't depend on a guy to produce against the worst ranked defenses it really hurts your chances.

I agree, though Eli did look very sharp in that last game. As sharp as he has been in a year plus, maybe. As of now I'm starting Cruz when matchups are favorable until he can string performances together that justify his high draft position.

I'm high on DeSean Jackson this week, even in a PPR league, over Cruz this sunday. Feel DeSean going back to PHI will bring the best out of him.

D-Jax personally told Shady he's playing, but keep an eye on the shoulder sprain.

 

[gocuse0315]

Should I trade away AP for Edelman, Michael Floyd, or Sanders?  The other said he would give me one of the three and im leaning towards edelman.  Im in an 8 team PPR league.  Any thoughts on this??

 

[checks grossman]

PHI secondary still average at best, no? I know about the Jenkins acquisition, though i always thought he'd be best suited at safety.

 

[champcruthik]

Cutler or Brady this week? Can't decide....

Head says Cutler, heart says Brady. Start Jay Cutler. Too many weapons and NYJ's secondary is food.

drop Terrance Williams pick up Knile Davis? WR's would be Jeffery, Floyd (AZ), and Welker. RB's would be Forte, Vereen, Ellington, Bradshaw, J. Hill, Davis. 10 team ppr. And then maybe package 2 RB's for a WR.

Williams has more long-term value. Davis is the better option short-term if you need a plug-and-play RB.

I keep seeing julius Thomas undervalued in this thread. I don't get it ??

Better pickup long term: Bobby rainey or james jones?

Rainey. He proved his worth in 2013, Dougie can't seem to stay healthy or be effective. Although Jones has surprised me with a TD in each week.

Which TE would you rather have moving forward this year: Kelce or Rudolph? or is it a toss-up



Also, who would you start in the flex b/t Chris Ivory and Brian Quick in a ppr league

Kelce. Rudolph is TD or bust despite a high ADP. Kelce has upside, had a preseason to remember and shaking off any post-injury effects.

Because of format, Quick. He's comfortable with STL now, caught 7 passes in 9 targets each week. That's at least 15 points, without a TD.

Welp... Glad I grabbed Asiata... Didn't even have to bid for him.

Should I just unload him and sell high right now?

Sell him high to the AP owner. McKinnon has more upside, IMO.

Rudolph. I'd go with Quick over Ivory. Quick having a surprisingly nice start to the season.

Would you guys go Gates or Olsen this week at TE? Standard format.

Olsen gets the start, brotha. Playing in Buffalo is never easy. Their defense is surprising the heck outta me.

Need some RB/Flex help this week...non-PPR

Starting RB options...
Forte (obvious start), Sproles, Jennings...

Flex options...
Maclin, Cook, Sproles, Jennings

I am thinking...
Forte, Sproles at RB
Maclin at Flex

...also, Jennings is playing Houston, I have Houston's D, if that matters...

Jennings at RB2.

Mac9 just over Sproles in the Flex. Had 8/116/1 in one game vs. Washington in 2012.

What is Asiata's value now that Peterson is out until his court date or longer?  The AP owner in our league desperately needs RB help and has all of his current backs on byes week 4 (Ellington, Dwyer and T. West).

I want to grab one of his recievers (A Brown, K Allen, Patterson, Wheaton). Is trying to package J. Bell and Asiata realistic for getting Allen or Patterson? My current WRs are Nelson, White, Hawkins and J Hunter.  You think i could flip Roddy and Asiata for A Brown?  I just want to be sure I'm being realistic with these trade offers, but dude is desperate at RB because I know Tate is due back soon.

I'd target Antonio Brown most, hardest. Bell and Asiata should get you Patterson, maybe not Allen.

Roddy and Asiata probably isn't enough for Brown. Might cost you Roddy and Bell for Brown and RB Filler instead.

 

[s0rtega22]

Antonio gates/Niles paul/Justin Forsett available.

Considering dropping CJ2K/Kendall wright/Michael Floyd.

CJ is not producing. Wright has a mediocre Qb. And Poo Palmers absence will effect Floyd. Thoughts?

Wait, until we're closer to speculation on an AP ruling. If you must, ask for two of the WR. Like Floyd and Sanders.

PHI secondary still average at best, no? I know about the Jenkins acquisition, though i always thought he'd be best suited at safety.

Slightly improved. Jenkins has locked down one safety spot, but Allen is food at the other.

Williams and Fletcher are decent, but D-Jax and Garcon should be able to win their matchups given level of WR talent.

Don't drop Michael Floyd. He's a legit WR2 in the 2014 season.

 

[s0rtega22]

Don't drop Michael Floyd. He's a legit WR2 in the 2014 season.

I'm hurting at WR tho! Alshon hasn't done squat. DJax is questionable. Floyd and Wright suffer due to QBs. Vernon Davis is hurt.

And AP is screwing this all up! Gio and Kniles Davis as my 1 and 2 Rb! ::End rant::

 

[atransta]

Matt Ryan vs Bucs (TNF)

Cutler vs Jets (MNF)

i'm leaning towards Ryan because I'm not sure if Alshon and Marshall are 100% healthy yet. I don't know who to pick

 

[s0rtega22]

I feel like at this point forsett is a better option than CJ2K. Him and pierce will split carries but I think his overall production will be greater for my standard league.

Maybe it'll be a wash. I'm desperate at this point tho.

Patience. It's only Week 3. D-Jax guaranteed his playing to Shady.

Matty Ice is the play by a smidgen.

Saw that article.... I feel like the Skins will be better with cousins and DJax will benefit.

That's why I'm leaning towards picking up Niles Paul. He's a back up. Cousins is a back up. Maybe they'll connect well?

Paul saw 11 targets Week 2, and RG3 was injured in the first-quarter. So those pass attempts were coming predominantly from Cousins.

 

[thecheef]

Boldin or Rainey as my Flex (PPR) I have no bench and poop starting - I need all the points I can gather

 

[s0rtega22]

My girls team:
Qb: Kap/Dalton
RB: McCoy/A. foster/Carlos Hyde/C.Ivory
WR: Fitz/Garcon/Decker/Sanu/Riley C./Jordan Cameron
K,Def: Crosby/Cincy

Same league so forsett/Niles Paul/Antonio Gate are free. Drop Cooper and or ivory?

Rainey, especially if Dougie can't go.

I would scoop Gates over Paul. Drop Sanu.

That's my dilemma. I would like to have Niles but don't know who to drop...also I'm always hesitant about playing two guys from the same team (DJax/Paul)
