OFFICIAL 2015 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD

[captainsneakerhead23]

champcruthik I pulled the trigger on the deal, gave up Rivers and Abdullah for Stafford and Woodhead.

Potential aside, I have Calvin and Tate so I felt like having Stafford puts me in a better spot if Russell Wilson (my starter) struggles.

Now that I have Woodhead to go along with Gordon and Gates, I can still reap the benefits if Rivers has a solid year. I've had Rivers the past 4 years, he's great the 1st half of the season but falls off down the stretch/fantasy playoff time.

Abdullah has a lot of potential as well but Joique Bell isn't a slouch and will not simply hand over his job without a fight (see Reggie Bush). Plus he's getting those goal line carries too. I already have Charles, Gordon, Ellington, Yeldon so I feel like there won't be a dramatic difference between Abdullah & Woodhead.

If my WR core stays healthy (Calvin, Sanders, Evans, Tate) then I'll move Tate for another RB if none of my current guys pan out or get hurt.

what do yall think about the jets D ?

I'm starting them this week at home vs Cleveland.

I don't think they're a "must start" every week type of defense but I would definitely use them when they have favorable matchups like tomorrow.

Chris Ivory or Joniqe Bell

I can't bring myself to drop Lockett for anybody it would have to be somebody really good...I think Russell passes more this season than he ever has and I was extremely high on Lockett out of college and probably even higher on him now after preseason. Already looking like one of the most dangerous players in the league.

 

[jamie dimon]

not to rain on the lockett hype but Golden Tate wasn't really that fantasy relevant in Seattle and that was with no one else to throw to. They might ask Wilson to throw more but offense is still going through the run game and Graham is a legit pass catcher that would limit Lockett's chances for targets. 

 

[buc em]

When Golden Tate was there they were run first, second and third almost to an extreme. He left after Russell's like second year in the league. I think they're gonna open it up more this year, and Lockett is more explosive than Tate. Graham is gonna have the safeties watching his every move while Lockett will blow by whatever corner is on him.

 

[blackredxiiigoat]

In a 10 team IDP league w/ 2 wr/2 rb/1 flex I have the following depth chart -

WR: Demaryius, Alshon, Evans, AllenRob

RB - DeMarco, JStew, Yeldon, Abdullah, Tev Coleman

TE - Eifert, Ladarius Green, Ertz

Would you drop Green for any of the following - Cameron Artis Payne (handcuff), Kendall Wright, DGB, Lockett, or Spiller (who was just dropped) ?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Payne or Spiller

 

[promac]

Should I start: D. Woodhead vs Detroit, D. McFadden vs Giants, or F. Gore vs Bills?

 

[bravo]

Chris Ivory or Joniqe Bell

Payne or Spiller

Cosign ... Spiller has to be rostered... theres just too much upside potential .. Payne's the safer pick but IMO its a sucker bet .  Id go with Spiller. 

 

[hymen man]

Um........wut?

Did you watch the whole game or just look at his fantasy points? Dude was throwing darts all damn night. He could have easily had 3+ TD's but they kept getting down to the one or two yard line and trying to run it in. The interception happened when it started reallllly pouring down and he threw it 60 yards down the field to DHB so I'm not sure if the ball slipped or DHB ran the wrong route.

I was speaking strictly in Fantasy terms.. in a fantasy thread. Um.

 

[diewitsjames]

SF vs min or  TB vs ten?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I'm rolling with the vikings defense this week.

 

[hymen man]

I'm rolling with the vikings defense this week.

samesies.

 

[yvespo3]

Packers might be the best defense start this week

 

[promac]

Gore it is, thanks for the input *******

 

[champcruthik]

Same PPR league you answered a question about just now.

This the right lineup for this Sunday?

Looks good to me.

Nice late pick on Beasley. Sneaky PPR fantasy player. He might have a better year than Terrance Williams (catches wise).

Should I drop Tyler Lockett for DeVante Parker?

Definitely Parker. He has far more talent and upside than Jennings and even Stills behind Landry.

Christine Michael or Duke Johnson?

Duke by far. He's the Cleveland starter over Crowell by mid-season.

I always keep 2.

I don't bother with a second DEF, rather have an extra WR/RB. Figure in a 10-team or 12-team league, that leaves 20 or 18 available defenses on the FA wire per week. Plenty of options to stream weekly based on favorable match-ups.

champcruthik I pulled the trigger on the deal, gave up Rivers and Abdullah for Stafford and Woodhead.

*crosses fingers and keeps an eye on the waiver wire*

Understand your line of thinking.

Good luck. BTW, saw your NYC invite for my b-day. Was actually working, but let's link for NFL games.

what do yall think about the jets D ?

Top-3 DEF in Week 1.

Chris Ivory or Joniqe Bell

Ivory convincing. As you can tell, I like him a lot opening weekend.

Would you drop Green for any of the following - Cameron Artis Payne (handcuff), Kendall Wright, DGB, Lockett, or Spiller (who was just dropped)?

Run and drop Green for Spiller. Tremendous pass-catching value in New Orleans' backfield. Nobody uses their RBs more as receivers than Payton and Brees.

Should I start: D. Woodhead vs Detroit, D. McFadden vs Giants, or F. Gore vs Bills?

Gore's the best option of the three.

SF vs min or  TB vs ten?

Minny. A borderline top-10 DEF in Week 1.

Edit: Read that wrong. Tampa DEF starts over SF's.

 

[promac]

Repped; thank you sir

 

[nick.]

@ProFootballDoc: RANDALL COBB not likely to re-injure AC joint. Could aggravate (more pain) but further damage unusual. Will play vs Chicago

 

[champcruthik]

I was offered Demaryius and Gore for my AP...

AP and Torrey smith for Demaryius Gore and Cruz?

Decent offer, but don't see why you would move AP. He might be the best fantasy player this year, especially with Bell suspended 2 games. You're fine at WR, assuming Jeffery gets healthy. Gore is not a RB1, nor is Abdullah.

Should I drop Joique Bell for Darren Sproles?

Absolutely not.

 

[champcruthik]

sammy watkins or golden tate in standard league this week?

Tate.

I got someone wanting to trade Jordan Matthew for Blount stright up... should I do it?

Run to the hills if you're getting Matthews. That's robbery.

Who should I start at flex in a PPR Brandon Marshall vs. Browns or Keenan Allen vs Detroit?

Allen. He's going to make up for the sophomore slump in Year 3.

 

[buc em]

I was speaking strictly in Fantasy terms.. in a fantasy thread. Um.

Like I said though, he had 20 points for me in ESPN. If that's his "off" week for me and I got him in like round 7 or 8 then I'm happy about it.

 

[davinci]

should i drop Philly D and pick up:

Green Bay, Carolina, or Minnesota?

i could also drop Knile Davis..
