Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

[Crono]

Anyone else picking up Mike Goodson?

 

[MetalMat]

Carolina all the way. Plus Carolina has a juicy matchup vs TB (week 7) so you could potentially keep them even in week 6 vs Minnesota if you wanted. Buffalo vs Cleveland, I'm taking Cleveland all the way FYI. With CJ Spiller who may not play and F.Jackson hurting, Cleveland should dominate dominate dominate.

I like Carolina this week and am starting them in a league though I don't think there is much upside.

I was offered Darren Sproles for A.J. Green in a ppr league. I don't think it is a great deal in general as A.J. Green is worth more than Sproles but I think it would help improve my team.

Besides A.J. Green I have Victor Cruz, Jordy Nelson and Wes Welker. We start 3 WR

I have Marshawn Lynch as my #1 RB but I am juggling #2 Running backs with Chris Johnson, Eddie Lacy, David Wilson, Rashad Jennings and Bilal Powell. We start 2 RB

Darren Sproles as my #2 would make my team very good at the risk of having no depth at WR. I tried to counter offer for Sproles & Roddy White but he said hell no. What do yall think?

IDK...if it were me...I would probably make that deal, you have three WR1/2 guys already imo...and then you will have two solid RB's with sproles and lynch.

I could possibly get him to throw in one of his quarterbacks, he has Andrew Luck, RG3 and Matt Ryan. I have Rivers and Eli Manning

Sproles for Green seems like a fair trade to me, but if you can get a QB thrown in, then go for it. If I were him I'd tell you to pound sand though

I certainly wouldn't part with Luck or Ryan, but maybe he's willing to go RG3. And who knows, maybe RG3 does like Cam did last year and has a blowout second half season.

Fuck no, AJ is one of the top 5 receivers in the league. I would try to send one of your lesser receivers for sproles.

Maybe I'm looking at it differently, but I don't consider Green to be top 5. MAYBE top 10. We're he being thrown to by a better QB, then yeah, top 5 all day long.

I also like Sproles, so maybe I'm slightly over valuing him. But damn, did you see homeboys last game???

AJ is the #6 WR in PPR formats while Sproles is #6 RB.

So I was able to pull off a couple of upgrades this week.

I traded Andrew Luck and Danny Amendola for Matthew Stafford and Daryl Richardson. I don't really care for Richardson, but Stafford is an upgrade, plus I don't have to play the Luck vs. Kaep game every week.

I was also able to pick up the Browns defense to avoid Cowboys against Denver.

Now I just need one more RB. Peterson is out this week, so based on my current roster I need to pick 2 between Lamar Miller, Ben Tate, and Daryl Richardson.

I could offer Ben Tate to the guy who has Arian Foster, but he really only has David Wilson to offer at RB.

Another guy needs a TE, and I could offer Martellus Bennett, but he only has MDJ and Eddie Lacy to offer. I'm not too hot on either of those guys. I doubt he would give up Fred Jackson.

I could also possibly offer Martellus Bennett for Chris Johnson, but it would be to the guy I play this week, and this would be a big upgrade over what he has.

 

[pete6032]

Can anyone help? I really have no idea who to start. None of my matchups look that great.

My main question is who to start at Wide Receiver - Edelman, Nicks, or White, and who to start at flex - Powell, Johnson, Edelman, Nicks, White.

Also Eddie Lacy is available in my league, is he worth a pickup over any of the current players on my roster?

 

[Adrenaline]

Your current setup looks fine.

I proposed two trades to get McCoy:

Moreno and Decker for McCoy and Lance Moore (plan on dropping him)
Moreno and Boldin for McCoy and Moore

The first one was accepted. My starting lineup will now look like:

QB: Ryan
RB: Lynch and McCoy
WR: J. Jones and Marshall
TE: Witten
RB/WR: Lacy / Boldin / F. Jackson / Bernard
K: Tucker
D/ST: Seattle

His second WR was TY Hilton to go with Welker. His other WRs are not doing so hot. His other RBs are Gore and Sproles.

Now I get to wait to see if it all goes through. I will have turned a WW pickup (Moreno) and a round 9 pick (Decker) into McCoy.

Edit: I would drop Nicks for Lacy. Your current setup looks fine with what you have.

And that is what they refer to as "trade rape."

Hmm Luck + Amendola for Stafford (Richardson is about to bust so non-factor). I'd say that's a pretty decent deal considering Amendola is always hurt, I don't like drafting players with high injury risks.

 

[Adrenaline]

Am I supposed to keep Moore? I threw him in (4.4 points for the year) to balance the trade out. I do not need him.

The trade will benefit both of us. I can find numerous people to keep instead of Moore off the WW.

If both trades were rejected, I would have probably offered Marshall with Moreno.

What do you think about Witten? Should I look elsewhere?

My FF skills are fine. I just don't have the same belief in Spiller and T. Richardson as some people. Like I said about TR, I would not draft him in the first round, or early second. Drafting him in the latter part of round two is more reasonable to me. That was when he was with the Browns.

 

[SP33Demon]

I finally pulled off the trade giving up Joique and McGahee for Steven Jackson who will be back in week 7. Watch R.Bush get hurt now.

Hush yo mouth, man! Don't jinx Bush for me!

AJ is the #6 WR in PPR formats while Sproles is #6 RB.

Ahhh, well I'm in a non PPR league, so that's how I'm valuing them. I guess in a PPR league it's a much different valuation.

Sproles is weak in not ppr formats.

 

[woodman1999]

Need opinions:

Fleener vs. Seattle for Finley vs. Detroit

Looks like Finley will start, I'd pick him over Fleener.

Anyone else picking up Mike Goodson?

I did, but I ended up dropping him again. Rex said yesterday that he wasn't in "football shape." I'd expect him to be eased in slowly even with Ivory hurt.

Can anyone help? I really have no idea who to start. None of my matchups look that great.

My main question is who to start at Wide Receiver - Edelman, Nicks, or White, and who to start at flex - Powell, Johnson, Edelman, Nicks, White.

Also Eddie Lacy is available in my league, is he worth a pickup over any of the current players on my roster?

Your roster has a bunch of underachievers that are a bit too good to drop but not good enough to be worth keeping over Lacy.

I'll say one thing - you should drop someone for Lacy. The problem is, who?

Your prime candidates should be either Russell Wilson or Julian Edelman.

Wilson is shaping up to be an excellent NFL QB but a bad fantasy QB, and should be a weekly streaming option, not an every-week starter. You can roll with Pryor this week, and stream QBs after. If someone picks up Wilson, so what? You can grab Cutler, Roethlisberger, Hoyer, or someone in that range off waivers and get 90% of what Wilson will get in a given week. You want VOLUME from your QB, and Wilson gives you none of it.

The other option is Edelman, assuming you're in a non-PPR league. He's Brady's go-to receiver at the moment, but he just doesn't get enough yards to be worth it. Sometimes he will get TDs but you never know when that will be. In PPR, though, Edelman is very solid.

Lacy is an important pickup for you with Chris Johnson underperforming and McFadden hurt yet again. I'd start him over Bilal Powell this week.

Nicks should be on notice, but I don't think you should drop him yet. Eli may still get things together, especially against the bad Eagles defense this week. If he can't produce against them, then you start thinking of cutting ties (for the right pickup, of course).

 

[vi edit]

Moreno
Mathews
Fred Jackson

Leaning Moreno and Jackson.

Pick two. McFadden has his annual injury and Martin (useless so far) is on bye.

 

[Connoisseur]

I've got Rodgers and Rivers as my starter and backup respectively and i've got AP on bye. A buddy of mine is really interested in Rodgers and he's got a pretty sweet team. Was thinking of asking for Woodhead + Nicks for Rodgers. I was maybe going to ask for Woodhead + Nicks + MJD but that's probably asking too much even if MJD and Nicks are sucking it up. I'm playing long term potential upside all the way. Thoughts?

On his team he's got (this is a PPR auction league):
Stafford
Forte
MJD
Megatron
Andre Johnson
Randall Cobb
Antonio Gates
Bilal Powell
Woodhead
