Anyone read yahoo fantasy recaps from your games?

Pretty entertaining.

Bert Macklin · 09-18-2012, 12:46 PM

Bout to pick up Cleveland's Defense. Never in my life would I think I'd do that.

Where do you read it?

cunningham06 · 09-18-2012, 01:07 PM

I need to pick up a TE. My guys I've got currently are Jermaine Gresham and Coby Fleener.

Current FA's are:
Heath Miller
Scott Chandler
Dennis Pitta
Dante Rosario

Thoughts?

Depends on the roster size. 14 players - probably not. More than that and you have to consider the upside vs. the player you may add. Wilson is in the doghouse but he did secure the #2 spot on the roster. He's not going to sit for the season and Bradshaw is clearly a big injury threat. He's also looking slower every time he returns from getting nicked up.

Pitta shouldn't be on any waiver wires at this point. The Ravens are going to throw and Flacco is targeting him a ton. I'd rather have him than Gresham. I'd probably take Miller over Gresham, too, tbh.

Chandler is bye week filler. Rosario is a pass. Gates is expected to play.

d: nyj

I doubt I'll ever start rudolph over finley or even in the flex spot, but I really dont need another boom or bust depth receiver. I guess handcuffing colston in case of injury wouldn't be the worst idea tho

Carrying Moore in this situation makes a lot more sense than a 3rd TE.

Yeah. He has a couple depth RBs that Im trying to get, but it looks like I'll accept this deal and just have a lock jam of average receivers

BGSUsteelers · 09-18-2012, 01:35 PM

Currently 2-0 in a PPR league (0.5 points per reception) and I'm thinking of making a couple of moves. My team right now is,

QB: Tom Brady
QB: Joe Flacco
RB: Matt Forte
RB: Reggie Bush
RB: C.J. Spiller
RB: Donald Brown
RB: Jacquizz Rodgers
WR: Brandon Marshall
WR: Miles Austin
WR: Reggie Wayne
WR: Stephen Hill
WR: Randy Moss
TE: Rob Gronkowski
TE: Jacob Tamme
K: Jason Hanson
DST: New England

I drafted all of those guys except Hill. I dropped Meachum after for him last week. With Forte injured, I'm pretty thin at RB even though I have the top two fantasy options. I've already given up hope on Rodgers, and here is what's avilable,

Pierre Thomas
Mark Ingram - Dropped last week
Andre Brown
Dexter McCluster
Jonathan Dwyer

What do you guys think? I'm leaning towards Thomas, Ingram, or Brown. However, I'm last on waivers at the moment, but I think I should be able to get one of those three.

Also, I want to dump Randy Moss. I took him with my second to last pick as a low risk/high reward. Even with his good week 1 performance, he hasn't looked good. The WR's that are available are,

Donnie Avery
Brandon LaFell
Andrew Hawkins
Brandon Gibson
Brian Hartline

Obviously I hope I never have to use any of these guys that I pick up besides on a bye week, but you never know. I've been pretty lucky with how my team has turned out i.e., Spiller, Bush and Wayne. I honestly didn't expect those three to be doing this well. But with Forte out, I don't think I can afford another injury to either position.

Shane P. Hallam · 09-18-2012, 01:39 PM

I'd dump Moss for Lafell, Hawkins if LaFell is gone.

I'd dump Hill for Thomas/Ingram to give you RB depth and upside.

We need more of you and your 30 fantasy teams!

Agreed. Ingram vs. Thomas looks like it'll be a year long time-share/hot hand type of choice.

Lafell really shouldn't be on the wire at all. I like Avery next, simply because I don't think Collie lasts even if he makes it back on the field.

BGSUsteelers · 09-18-2012, 02:27 PM

If you had to pick Ingram or Thomas, which one would you want?

Bleh. Ingram, I guess, since he is consistently getting more carries and the goal line work.

thetedginnshow · 09-18-2012, 02:37 PM

Sooo Turner didn't even have himself a good game and now he's been charged with a DUI. Sell low?

FlyingElvis · 09-18-2012, 02:41 PM

I don't recall Turner ever having any legal trouble so he's not likely to face a suspension. His value is about what it's been for the last year and a half, give or take, and that's plodding for touchdowns.

Bulldogs · 09-18-2012, 02:47 PM

What do you guys think.

Dynasty League.
Standard Settings.

I give up: Jimmy Graham, Jeremy Maclin

I get: Calvin Johnson, Kyle Rudolph, Justin Blackmon

KCJ58 · 09-18-2012, 02:52 PM

Trade Offer (PPR League)

Team A gets: Rob Gronkowski TE, Doug Martin RB

Team B gets: Jamaal Charles RB, Danny Amendola WR

which team?

Serious question?

I would take team A in a heart beat.

That's a pretty solid deal. Maclin is getting dinged up more than you like to see. Obviously giving up Graham is rough, but he's a WR more than a TE and he will certainly be less likely to dominate once Brees is done. You're getting 3 very talented players with young QBs they can grow with over the next decade and giving up two guys with older QBs. (To be fair, though, Foles looks like he is a legit talent.)

Selling super high on Amendola. I like the Gronk / Martin side of this deal much better and wouldn't give those two up for Charles & Amendola.

vikes_28 · 09-18-2012, 03:44 PM

benching AD against the 9ers defense. Good or bad idea? I can put mcgahe in his spot and put either lafell, holmes, or garcon in my flex spot.

Also, should I start McGahee against the Texans defense on a short week?

Great idea. Have to put LaFell in the flex also. Smith could be banged up, and that NYG secondary is balls.

vikes_28 · 09-18-2012, 03:56 PM

I think it is definitely a high risk/ high reward move. +rep for you Docta if it works out.

FlyingElvis · 09-18-2012, 03:56 PM

I'd rather play McGahee vs Houston than Peterson vs San Fran.

Definitely play LaFell. Play any WR facing the Giants until they get some players back or the guys playing figure out how to cover.

vikes_28 · 09-18-2012, 04:04 PM

Yeah, the thing that sucks is i don't have a whole hell of a lot of options at RB at this point. I've got McGahee, Lynch, and Peterson. All 3 are performers for sure, but there is absolutely no one else in free agency. I am waiting for waivers to go through to see if I can pick up Richardson from STL as a back up.
