I'm eyeing this ogbonnaya guy especially in ppr leagues. He's been pretty good when he gets the ball and Mcgahee hasn't.

I also don't get why everyone is ignoring Jason Campbell. 2 games, 250+ yards in each game, 5 TDs, ZERO interceptions against "bad" matchups. If you need a QB I would think he is at least worth a stash.

I had picked up Cutler last week as Brees insurance heading into playoffs, but since Cutler's out, I may give Campbell a look.

Need some help with a trade. This is my team


Someone wants Cooper and Gostkowski. Not sure if I want to give up Gostkowski as he is a consistent scorer, but would be willing to give up Hauschka (picked him up as a bye week fill in for Gost). Also seems Cooper is on fire now...connecting with Foles nicely! Probably why he wants him.

This is this other person's team:


Who would be a good trade for Cooper and Gostkowski/Hauschka? Thinking about asking for Lacy and Gronk...

Thoughts?

Regarding Foles' TDs, both were basically blown coverages that most good secondaries would have picked. Cooper was the beneficiary of one of them. But maybe they'll continue to get lucky for the rest of the year, which would be good since I like the Eagles.

Got my Megatron trade =)

Now an issue has come up. Andrew Luck and my Defense ( Tenn and KC )

Both D have not so great matchups this week. I really dont wanna have a D go again Peyton. So maybe i need to drop one for maybe a Buf/Jets/SD

I have Luck as my one and only QB. But this league doesn't give you throwing yards, just TD/INT/Sacks/Fumble. QB like Geno/Keenum/Mccown/Campbell are out there.

I'm sticking with Vinteri this week as my kicker.

I'm playoff bound but i'm trying to lock in my first round bye.

I need some help making a trade offer. I am trying to target Andre Johnson in a league, I really like his schedule for the rest of the season. My receivers have been somewhat shaky as of late and Johnson would be a huge boost for my team. I'm not a fan of giving lowball offers so what would be a fair trade? PPR league, 4 point passing TDs, start 1 QB, 2RB, 3 WR, 1 TE

My Team:
QB - Rivers
RB - Lynch, Lacy, Stacy, Sproles, Dennis Johnson
WR - Welker, Nelson, Cruz, Gordon, Douglas
TE- Julius Thomas

His Team
QB - Brees
WR - Marshall, Andre Johnson, Eddie Royal, Hartline, Stevie Johnson, Moss, Hopkins
RB - Fred Jackson, Knowshon Moreno, Pierre Thomas
TE - Witten, Bennett

Would something like Cruz & Sproles for Johnson & Pierre Thomas seem fair or is that a slap in the face? I can tell he is having a hard time finding a solid #3 WR, maybe throw in Douglas as well?

I have KC defense as well and am wary of starting them. However I think they'll get a lot of sacks so I'm tempted to start 'em. Throw in a sack that tweaks manning's ankle and they'll destroy his backup.

Tough call, I should be able to pick up a better def matchup this week and have the room. But KC has been so stellar so far.

I'm playing em'. They got me this far. We'll see if they're the real deal now.

Agreed. I picked up AZ for KC's bye week but I think I like their matchup against JAX more than I like KC's against DEN.. its a toss up. One bad sack and who knows.

I'm facing the same choice and still prefer ARI vs Jax over KC vs. DEN. At this point I think ARI might actually be the better D without even considering their weekly matchup.

They have done bad matchups going into the playoffs. Need to find somebody good for that stretch.

Then there is the whole don't bench studs aspect of sitting KC.

My week 11 starting options, pick 2:

Marques Colston (vs SF), Chris Ivory (@BUF), DeAndre Hopkins (vs OAK), Pierre Thomas (vs SF).

My week 11 starting options, pick 2:

Marques Colston (vs SF), Chris Ivory (@BUF), DeAndre Hopkins (vs OAK), Pierre Thomas (vs SF).

Tough choices there. The safest choice is Hopkins as I expect Keenum and/or Tate to shred the Raiders D.

Ivory will be going against a pretty stout run D (Buffalo just moved into the top 5 graded) but he could bust one. Colston is going up against a beastly middle so I wouldn't start him and expect much. However, SF has dropped all the way down to 13 in graded Run D so Pierre Thomas has a better shot than Ivory, especially with the threat of Brees. So the safest best is Hopkins, but the next best is Thomas.

Speaking of SF, did anyone see Tolbert knock Eric Reid the fuck out? Monstrous hit! Tolbert has a knack for blowing up SF safeties. He blew up one earlier in his career when he was with the Chargers as well.
Great angles of the hit here:
http://thebiglead.com/2013/11/10/eric-reid-tried-to-tackle-mike-tolbert-and-got-knocked-out/
Mike Tolbert is one of the most bruising ball carriers in the NFL: A fire hydrant-like 5-foot-9 and 250 pounds, and the type of player who is impossible to get his arms around. Eric Reid, a San Francisco rookie from LSU, found this out the hard way Sunday when Tolbert took a shovel pass on 3rd down and Reid came up to make a tackle. He bounced off Tolbert and immediately went to the ground. Reid didn’t move, and appeared to be knocked out. Reid got up after a few minutes and left the field.
Carolina put a whooping on that ass last week from both sides of the ball by knocking two superstars out (Vernon Davis concussed earlier).

Just realized that I'm somehow pulling 90~ points a week in a 12 team league with 2 Weeks of injured QBs (negative points - Cutler and Locker injury) and 2 weeks of QB points < 10 (Matt Ryan's 4 INT week and Locker this week, fuckers). My entire starting team is waivers except Steve Smith and Hauschka. And Smith won't do much for the rest of the year. Waiver teams for the win. /crickets

They say Harvin will have a limited snap count, but almost every time they've said that about a returning player, it was usually wrong (i.e. Andre Brown). I have better options than Harvin, but I'm putting him in. It's a juicy match up, and I think he's hungry.

Cooper is a good play when Foles is throwing.

And personally, I think Roddy White finally has a great game. Just a hunch.

Don't think I'd play Douglas or Smith. Smith may have a monster game, but his monster games are few and far between, and hard to call. Plus, Flaccid Flacco.

Would you guys trade K.C. D for Cardinals D?

I'm thinking this is a no brainer, and probably a stupid question, but I like to have opinions.

I asked the Cardinals D owner if he'd trade straight up and he said "Not sure of match ups, but yes if good"

Crossing fingers that he doesn't realize how stupid letting them go would be.
