Yes, think back to August and the first round of your draft, I would say if you picked Arian Foster, C.J. Spiller, David Wilson, Doug Martin and maybe Chris Johnson you are probably not doing too well. I mean a lot of these guys are top 10 RBs, but RBs are not carrying your fantasy team this year unless you have Peterson, McCoy or Charles. DeMarco Murray has only really had one good week.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

Would you start Justin Blackmon or Alshon Jeffery for a WR3 spot this week?

Blackmon's projecting 1.5 points higher (vs STL)but he's been out so long...currently have Jeffery (vs. NO) in.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

Jeffrey over Blackmon -> Just don't trust the Jags to do much of anything.


I have Kenbrell Thompkins (@ Cincinatti), Ashlon Jeffrey (@NO) or S. Smith (@Arizona) as my flex options this week. Went with Jeffrey, but feel like it is a three way coin flip.

Stuck with R. Mathews as RB2 - solid flex guy but not who I want in that spot. (Morris and L. Bell on bye).

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

My #1 and #2 running backs are AP and Fred Jackson, and AP is off this week. My options at backup running back are MJD and Danny Woodhead (leaning toward him). Everybody on the FA market is third string or not worth starting, and I have no idea what to do. With Tom Brady having a down year AP really was the breadwinner on my fantasy team.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

As has been said, RB's are particularly rough this year. Their are AP, McCoy, Charles and then about 10-12 more guys (maybe) as solid RB1's or RB2's. After that, pshhh, you're looking at sub-par starters (Mendenhall, Miller) and RBBC guys (Mathews, Ridley, Moreno) and starters subbing for injured starters (Powell, Rodgers).

In a 12 team league, that 3rd back is hard to come by and usually represents a big drop off.

I am crossing my fingers on L.Bell - snagged him after his initially injury and stashed him for a few weeks (Would feel a lot better if Pitt's line didn't stink). With him, I have Morris, DeMarco, Bell and Mathews.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

@ mooby, I would start Woodhead. Seen a few SD games and he comes in for most scoring opportunities close to the goal line (from the 5-20). Not gonna get a lot of yards but likely to get a TD or possibly two. Not sure you can say that about MJD in that Jags offense.

Definitely Jeffrey over Blackmon. Anything associated with the Jags this year should be benched until further notice.

Source: I have MJD on my team. Currently I'm hoping he will get traded to a new team so I can salvage this pick.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

What round did you pick MJD in? Just curious.

Thanks dude, that's who I think I'm going to go with. I know he had a couple receiving td's last week but in previous weeks he didn't do much of anything. Hopefully he carries over his success from last week, it's bad enough my other starter is splitting carries with CJ Spiller.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

RBs are so bad this year I am starting a WR in my flex every week. This week its Lynch and Woodhead (yuck) but A.J. Green, Fitzgerald and Edelman are my WR, with Brady and Julius Thomas rounding out my team. I also could not stomach starting the Bengals against the Patriots this week, so I picked up the Panthers to start against the Cards.

I'm 2-2 and need a win to keep my team alive.

I think all David Wilson owners are pretty much :mad::saywhat::(:cussing:

What a terrible year he's having. What are the Giants thinking pulling him out of the game for Brandon Jacobs? He should be a 3 down RB!

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

Probably feeling like me and CJ Spiller.

At least I have something to watch tonight with Cameron and the Bills K. lol

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

[quote=JoeRedskin;1030467]What round did you pick MJD in? Just curious.[/quote]

I wanna say 6th or 7th, everybody else was making a run on rb's and all the options I wanted were gone by the time I had to pick, and MJD was the last halfway decent name on the board. Of course I was basing this entirely on his past success, and I was desperately in need of a second starter. I gotta say, although I had the top pick in the draft, having the first pick in one round and the last pick in the next round has its positives and negatives, negatives being if there is a run made on one position, you find yourself picking from the scrap heap.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

My gut says Tavon Austin, but the 'Experts' are saying that I should start Roddy White.

What do you start?

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

roddy white has been SOO bad this year :/. I'm waiting for him to stop sucking first.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

[quote=CultBrennan59;1030708]My gut says Tavon Austin, but the 'Experts' are saying that I should start Roddy White.

Brutal choice either way. Tavon Austin has been riding my bench the whole year, he's been so bad if I make another pickup he's probably going to be the guy I release, and Roddy White has been equally terrible for my friends team (I think his highest scoring game is like 2.8 points). If this was before 1 pm I'd say Roddy White though, just based off history.

I have another conundrum on my hands though. I'm pretty fed up with Brady, he's only had 1 above-average week for me so far, and this week he gave me 5.88 points against Cincy. I could wait for him to come around, but the guy I'm playing this week has Brees (must-start) and Mr. Resurgent Phillip Rivers riding the bench, and I'm mulling what my trade offer should be.

I'm going to start with offering Brady, but I think I need to give up another starter, out of Fred Jackson, AP (def. not gonna offer him) Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker, Vernon Davis, Randall Cobb, dolphins kicker, and Titans/Cardinals d. My entire bench is scrubs, biggest name guy is MJD, and then I have Alex Smith, Danny Woodhead, Tavon Austin, Brent Celek, Michael Floyd, and Jordan Reed. He's really got no weak spots on his team, I mean we're tied this week but he's missing Calvin Johnson, runDMC, and Miles Austin so I'd probably be losing if his team were healthy. I really don't know what the offer should be here. I'm thinking maybe I give up Brady and one of the Broncos wideouts, but then I'd need to fill a flex spot too.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

I hate Tavon Austin. Guy is supposed to be this explosive rookie and gets a whopping 30 yards today.

I had romo, Bryant and moreno today

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

I sat spiller this week only to have him score more than Bush and Blount combined....

Did start Decker and D Bryant though. Also was able to scoop up D McFadden who was waived for Jennings.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

Ok, I'm in a 10 team, 2 player per team Keeper league and won it all last year. That means I had the last pick this year and I went with Steven Ridley then A.J. Green with picks 10 and 11. You know your season is going down the tube when Yahoo removes your 1st round pick from the "Can't Cut List" as they did with Ridley on Oct 1.

2-3 but heading for maybe 4-10!

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

alright help.

I need a QB this week:

Foles @ Tampa
Pryor @ KC (KC best pass defense in the league)
Bradford @ Houston
Schaub vs St Louis (is this the bounce back game?, I think actually Houston gets back to running the ball)
Dalton @ Buffalo

My lean is between Dalton or Foles...Foles is really intriguing this week

I really need some opinions

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

I'd go Dalton or Schaub

That trade sounds kinda weak, the Panthers o isn't really doing too hot right now and Wayne is really the only good player in there. Jamaal Charles is one of the select few solid running backs giving you a consistent week. I wouldn't do it if it were me.

Speaking of me is anybody else who has Brady as their qb thinking of holding onto him a bit longer? I saw a report that said Gronk might start playing pretty soon (not sure if it was against their opponent this week or not) and I'm considering holding onto him until I'm confident in which direction he's headed this year.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

I think it is definitely time for Aaron Hernandez to be removed from the espn roster of TEs. Bad form guys, if you click him all it say is he has been indicted for murder. Move on

Hold him, you'll never get equal compensation

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

Ben Tate v. STL or Mendenhall v. SF?

I think Foster & Tate could have a field day against STL's defense, especially coming off of Schaub's all star performances - they might look to the running game to get things back on track.

Andre Ellington + the SF matchup has me wary of Mendenhall's situation, though he is the starter, got 15+ carries last week, goal line carries, and a TD.

Thoughts? PPR league by the way.

Mendenhall. No matter how good San Fran plays, the RBs will still get a lot of touches and always have a chance at breaking one or catching a pass for a TD. Tate may be the best back up RB in the NFL, but St. Louis's defense is worse against the pass than run and Foster will have a huge game. Tate will probably have 40 yards or so.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

Tate has been terrible. I played him the week that Bush was hurt. He has only had one solid week which was week 2. Other than that he isn't worth much.
I drafted him late just in case foster was injured. I should have drafted Bell in retro spec considering bush is my #1. Same could be said when I blew my first pick on Spiller (I picked 10 and then 4 spots later which netted Dez Bryant). I should have drafted Fred jackson.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
 

i feel your pain on spiller, i took him 5th overall in one money league. i was able to handcuff jackson in the 12th (140th overall) - probably the steal of the draft.

in my other money league, i'm trying to trade for a top rb. i don't want to offer too much because i am very happy w my roster and it's no sweat if i'm not able to trade for that top rb.

It would take alot for me to ditch Reggie Bush, he has been my top guy. None of my other backs have been anything close.

I was able to pull McFadden out of the FA market when someone let him go due to injury and I look at him as a guy who may be able to start for me after the Raiders bye.

I am stacked at WR with H Nicks, D Bryant, Eric Decker, Justin Blackmon, as my four go to guys now. with Nate Washington, Greg Jennings, also on my team.

QB is M Ryan and Flacco this week due to the ATL bye.

TEs are Gates and Jordan Cameron (a couple of weeks ago I started both with Gates as my Flex)worked out well as I hold the top scoring week with that lineup.

I would consider a Jackson/Williams or maybe even Josh Gordon as a possibility to get Bush from me, but I would be thinking long and hard before I pulled the trigger on my top RB.
