Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

[glenn1]

Need to start 2 WR from the following:

Roddy White vs. Tampa Bay (Revis)
Harry Douglas vs. Tampa Bay
Riley Cooper vs. Washington
Percy Harvin vs. Minnesota
Torrey Smith vs. Chicago

Available on waivers:
Aaron Dobson vs. Carolina
Dwayne Bowe vs. Denver
Reuben Randle vs. Green Bay

Any advice?

I like Cooper and either White or Douglas. Tampa is middle of the pack this year in most passing defense categories, and Revis doesn't scare me much this season since TB is using so much zone defense which Revis doesn't do well at. Heck, in Week 7 against TB, the line for Douglas was 7/149/1 against Revis with Jones out and White still gimpy.

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.

In one league I'm actually carrying them both and playing matchups for the rest of the season. For example, ARI @ JAX this week seems like a potential demolition for the Cards D. If I had to pick only one for the rest of the year I'd grudgingly take KC since their playoff schedule is better (WAS, OAK, IND vs. STL, TEN, SEA).

 

[MisterJackson]

Damn, I'd love to have both of those Defenses.

I don't necessarily need the Cards D this week in particular, it would just be icing on the cake. Maybe I need to rethink this since I am headed to the playoffs.

Yeah, having them is consolation for having relatively weak RBs at this point in the season. My top 3 options are McFadden, CJ zero K, and Andre Ellington and it SUCKS.

 

[Aharami]

fairest trade?
a) Jordan Reed for Gostkowski
b) Andre Brown for Gostkowski
c) Chris Ivory for Gostkowski

Dude really wants Gost and he is pretty stacked on RB. He has Jamaal Charles, Lacy, Brown, Ivory, and Sproles

 

[AMDZen]

Its a kicker. If he is willing to give you Brown or Reed, take it and run

Ivory has little value but is by far the fairest trade

 

[Aharami]

yea but it's a kicker with no bye weeks and one who consistently puts up double digits

I have both in one of the ATOT leagues.. but its a 5 man bench so.. yea.

 

[AMDZen]

People place way too much value on kickers. Especially him. He could easily slump just like any kicker. Haushka, Nick Folk and a couple others will be just as efficient most likely. Matt Prater as well who had the lead most of the season until the Broncos bye. I actually like Nick Folk's matchups the rest of the season and into the fantasy playoffs personally

I've had Prater all season, but I think I might pick up and play Folk the rest of the way. Prater's awesome, but he's not getting a lot of chances to kick FG's.

How many ATOT leagues are there? Are there any ESPN ATOT leagues?

This.

There's two ESPN leagues. A few Yahoo ones.

Then there's a couple Yahoo free leagues.

Folks or Gostwoski for the rest of the season. I'm dropping Vinatri.

Whichever costs you less FAAB money or doesn't require you to burn a high waiver priority, since both are fine options.

 

[T2urtle]

My team is looking a little weak for 11, Dez and Stacy out and replaced with Greg Jennings, Lamar Miller and Jouqie Bell. I normally just play one of these fools since they are some random.

Travon Austin, Crotchrey, Carlson and Rainey are out there.

I spent my wavier to building for the playoffs as Luck is has shown me 2 bad games so i bought into Keenum. Just debating on starting him now.

I have a choice of either, they both are FA

 

[Adrenaline]

That isn't the deal here. If he wants the K, make him pay. He is the #1 K in FF I believe or close to it. K is his weak spot or he would not be bothering you. Tell him what you want, it is his loss, not yours. His team is stacked.

Unless you approached him, then Reed is fine.

Tampa is middle of the pack this year in most passing defense categories, and Revis doesn't scare me much this season since TB is using so much zone defense which Revis doesn't do well at. Heck, in Week 7 against TB, the line for Douglas was 7/149/1 against Revis with Jones out and White still gimpy.

Tampa stopped using Revis in the zone scheme 2 games ago. He shut Mike Wallace down badly last week, and Tate the week before.

Agree on Cooper and Douglas in that order.

 

[woodman1999]

In need of some advice. I have Cruz, Welker, Hilton, and Torrey Smith. I can play to WR's and one flex. Any suggestions for who I should play in those three spots? Right now, Hilton is the odd man out, but I am wondering if it should be welker based on matchups...

Bench Aaron Rodgers*, GB QB

Bench Stephen Gostkowski, NE K
Bench Coby Fleener, Ind TE
Bench Terrance Williams, Dal WR
Bench Kenny Stills, NO WR

If he wants Gost, then ask for Reed or Brown. Personally, I would go with Reed since he would upgrade you more. Gost for Reed is a fair deal even though you are getting way more value but you are giving him the best value in a spot he needs so it evens out (like Adrenaline said).

10-team league, one win away from locked for playoffs, trade thoughts...

QB: RGIII
WR: Wes Welker, Keenan Allen
RB: Alfred Morris, Reggie Bush
TE: Jordan Reed
W/R: Knowshon Moreno

Bench: Case Keenum, Jordy Nelson, Zac Stacy, Ben Tate, Steven Jackson, Joique Bell

Would trading Moreno and RGIII for Brees be a good move? I am concerned about Saints versus Carolina in the playoffs though.

Throw out the 3 high weeks, and my QB position has averaged 7 points the other 7 weeks. I am leaning towards staying with the team I have as RB's have been having a bad year.

I'd start the offer without Stills first. Just offer the kicker. Sure it's greedy, but it's his place to say yes or no. Besides, in FF, you shouldn't worry what others think of your offers. You're in it to win a title, not the affections of your opponents

You can always come back with a counter offer and use Stills as a sweetner if he says no. I probably wouldn't if I was you though. Sounds like he REALLY wants your kicker. Advantage is to you.

 

[Aharami]

ok i think we have settled on vinitari + reed for gost + stills.
dont really care about vinitari as I have Hauschka also, but he should fill in week 12 Hauschka BYE

You're pretty stacked at RB. I'd certainly offer that trade. I like Peyton a lot, but I still think Brees is the best QB out there right now (fantasy wise anyhow).
