Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

[vincedea]

Who should I start Matt Ryan vs Stl. Or Joe flacco vs Cle??

 

[T2urtle]

How's frank gore this year? Im weak in the RB and someone wants to trade me gore.

J.Charles, Lamar Miller, C. Ivory and M. Ball.

Garcon, dez, Fitzgerald, Greg jennings and James Jones are my wide out. He wants a wide out.


He has gore, deangelo Williams, s. Jackson. With moore , Steve smith and Holmes.

Trying to figure out a wheel and deal. But then again I don't see gore doing too much work.

Still can't believe it, but my step-dad's comeback on the Peyton Manning team is complete.

The other guy will end up with 5 more points after manual adjustment for DST margin of victory and still won't win. If only he started Murray OR Lacy over Bradshaw, guess he thought it wouldn't matter after Thursday night. League has funky scoring geared around length of TDs that goes back 25+ years when the league was started (that's why we use CBS, no other league let us use our custom scoring) but doubt I'll ever see anything like this again. I believe 138 is the highest score in league history, and 133 will be second highest lol.

It's looking like David Wilson is getting benched for Week 2

who are they going to start, a dude off the street? coughlin has said plenty that makes it seem like wilson is really their only option, whether they like it or not. he's probably going to lose goal line carries and third down, though

Brandon Jacobs and Willis McGahee are both out there and I'm sure would be serviceable.

Started out good so far. In my PPR league I was the top scorer, and no I didn't have Peyton, and won our weekly price (weekly prize category changes each week, this week it was most points, next week it may be highest scoring active RB, the next highest scoring active K, the next highest scoring WR on the bench, etc). My non-PPR league I managed to win despite my RBs all putting up close to no points.

Well hello there Joique Bell as my RB2. I really thought I scored by getting Wilson as my RB2, this is going to hurt.

you guys never listen lol

Thomas is likely to be a more volitile player and least likely to consistently produce points. Witten is old reliable and a guy you can set every week and not worry. If you can sell Thomas now get it while it's hot.

i'd get rid of witten, but that's because i hate the dallas cowboys and no cowboys player will ever have a spot on my fantasy team.

also, because thomas is bigger, stronger, and faster with chemistry with manning.

I know right. Morris and RG3 were flat out amazing last night, just like you predicted. RG3 really tore apart that prevent defense in the second half. Gotta love garbage points.

I'm concerned about the way he looked last night. He looked rusty and not like his normal bad ass self. I only drafted one QB but I probably need to pick somebody up but I don't have anybody I am comfortable dropping.

Josh Gordon - nope
Lamar Miller - nope
Gronk - nope
Michael Floyd - nope/maybe
Joique Bell - nope
Chris Givens - nope/maybe
TY Hilton - no way

Sorry you are a homer and a hater. And that makes for a bad Fantasy Manager. Thomas is a raw talent. Witten is a known commodity with nearly 1000 yards a season 7/11 seasons. He's Romo's bailout on a team with a lot less mouths to feed than Denver. Thomas will have higher weekly spikes than Witten but he's also going to absolutely screw you every 3rd week and put up a goosegg.

In the annuals of the stat nerd, looks like peyton's performance was the third greatest single game fantasy score of all time.

And for everyone about to waiver for vereen, you may want to rethink that.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Lamar Miller in my RB2 spot put up a big goose egg. Going to give him another shot next week. If he does put up not he will be dropped.

I want you in my league.

EDIT: Last year, my first year playing fantasy, I dropped CJ0K (my first round pick) after three straight horrible performances.

Probably would have done poorly anyway since I whiffed on nearly all my picks last year, but that was the most boneheaded move I've ever made or ever will make. Never again. You don't drop Lamar Miller - there's SOMEONE on your bench worse than him. If you really can't decide, drop your kicker and think about it more, then pick up a kicker on game day.

Agreed. I can't come to drop a capable running back or one with upside. RBs you can start are hard to come by as the season progresses.

I'm hoping somebody drops Vereen so I can pick him up.

Very nice. I bet the best total season performance was that year tomlinson got like 31 touchdowns.

You're fucking stupid.

Witten - 6' 6", 261 lbs
Thomas - 6' 5", 250 lbs

And Witten has more chemistry with Romo than Thomas does with Manning, they've been playing together forever. Witten leads the team in catches almost every year.

 

[TallBill]

Got offered Fred Jackson for David Wilson. What do we think?

 

[slayer202]

What has better odds, CJ Spiller getting hurt or Wilson getting out of the doghouse and performing well?

 

[spidey07]

I wouldn't. You're trading away a stud starter for sharing carries with spiller.

The fantasy buzz is telling people to try to steal David Wilson from owners, because some might be dumb enough to let him go. Sounds like that's what he's doing to you.

 

[TallBill]

Hmmm OK. I suppose I'll sit on him for now.

 

[vi edit]

There's a reason why I avoided both of those guys like the plague. I'm not sold on jitterbug RB's trying to carry main workloads. Don't like their durability doubts or their effectiveness in goal line work.

Even if Wilson gets out of the doghouse, he's going to concede goal line work. When he was able to hang on to the ball, he was totally ineffective trying to punch it in.

not everything i say hits, but most of the time, it does.

p.s. rg3 had over 350 total yards and two touchdowns... not too bad for a guy coming back right after getting a new knee.

alfred morris could have done better...

Going to poke the bear on a stick with this....

But what does your educational background have to say about his mechanics? I think he's a mess right now. Even though he put up yards in the 2nd half, he's *clearly* not close to healthy.

we both know that the recorded heights and weights aren't accurate at all when it comes to football.

no, i'm not fucking stupid. i just hate the cowboys and will never have a cowboys player on my team.

the fact of the matter is that thomas will get more passes than witten. why? because dallas has a running game and denver doesn't. it's really that simple.

thomas is going to be a bigger deal than witten. you'll see.
