Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

[spidey07]

Do whatever you can to win this week. I like the moves. Especially Blount, surprised he was available.

 

[vi edit]

Eh. Everyone talks about a Shananananahan backfield being a disaster...I think a Billy Bellycheck backfield is even more of a minefield. One week they'll have one RB go for 100 yards. Next week it'll be a different guy going for 90. The week after that they have 40 yards combined and some guy like Woodhead or Edelman will get 10 receptions out of the backfield and a TD.

Washington used to be a disaster, but really they just needed a reliable running back and they got it in Alfred Morris (Helu isn't shabby as a backup, either). The Patriots, though, have been unpredictable at running back for a few years at least. I think Belichick designs it that way, but he partly just goes with whoever is the "hot hand".

Blount is probably going to be a one week wonder for me. Who else are they going to play this week? Ridley is out. Bolden is questionable.

According to Jeff Fisher, Richardson is going to be splitting carries with 4 other guys,

 

[Inspector Jihad]

I ended up not offering Dez and instead offered Lamar Miller, Antonio Brown and Marques Colston, which he accepted. He was hurting pretty bad at WR (Nicks, Boldin and Roddy White) and still has Trent Richardson.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Want an ultra deep sleeper? Benny Cunningham. For those of you who haven't heard of him, he's an RB for the Rams.

Now you're not starting him this week unless you're truly desperate. But he's a good stash for this week, and here's why:

Richardson had plenty of chances and has been mediocre at best. He tweeted that he's not getting the start this week.

Pead was a healthy scratch last week despite the RB situation being a mess. Why would they bench him with Richardson coming off an injury on a short week unless they don't like him?

Stacy started the year fourth on the depth chart. He's behind Cunningham, who was officially the backup last week. He'd have to leapfrog Cunningham and the others.

Cunningham has the best chance at starting this week. For whatever that's worth. I wouldn't play him in any league, but if he just happens to get work and look good, you have a nice stash who can help your RB situation or trade to someone who's desperate (or give you the depth necessary to trade someone else). I'd rather have him than Mike Goodson at least.

 

[AmdEmAll]

Not sure what to do right now on a couple of players due to if they are in or out with injuries.

Jermey Kerley or Stephen Hill?? Hill was cleared but still says questionable.. if he plays it will effect Kerley big time. Or should I just put Austin Pettis in? They are playing JAX lol.

Also I have Matt Prater in as kicker and he's been great for me but he had some kind of practice calf injury. Should I leave him in or grab another kicker?

 

[AMDZen]

Looks like I won't be playing Keller since he is questionable as well

Fleener it is

 

[spidey07]

Looks like Amendola is still likely to play, but with limited snaps. As an Edelman owner I've got to make the call at WR3. Edelman or T.Y. Hilton. Standard scoring Edelman has been pretty consistent double digits, TY, not so much with only one double digit week and other 5 or less.

I'm thinking I go ahead and start Edelman. TY is too much of a risk. Even if Edelman gets me 6-8 that's better than TY's average. And Seattle secondary?

Also, does Ryan Broyles become that hot start now that Calvin Johnson is OUT? I would think so. Or is it going to be Ogletree?

 

[MisterJackson]

Shit. Calvin Johnsons out. Gotta make some line up adjustments.

Murray
Moreno
Boldin

Pick one for flex

 

[MisterJackson]

I also have Julio Jones playing Monday night, and I have a not so good feeling about him not starting since he's questionable. I know the knee thing gets listed every week, but this week seems different.

Roll the dice on him playing Monday??

He's a stud, you start him. He's always questionable/probable but always plays, and with Roddy White also banged up he will continue to be a stud.

If you do, try to pick up another player from that game. Stick Julio in your flex if possible and get Stephen Hill or Jacquizz Rodgers and play them if Julio is out.

Edit: Nevermind, I can't drop Boldin for Hill and use Hill as an insurance policy for Julio since Megatron is out It won't work with our roster set up. I'd have to go RB drop for Snelling or Rodgers to do an insurance policy for Julio. I'm not willing to drop Gore, Bush, Murray or Moreno for Snelling or Rodgers. And I just traded Bilal Powell away for Moreno....fuuuuck me. Oh well.

Gah, I don't wanna do it, but what do you think of dropping Anquan Boldin for Stephen Hill as an insurance policy. Don't WANT to give up Boldin, but he's my weakest WR. No RB I wanna give up for Snelling or Rodgers

No, no, no! If you're that worried, play Boldin over Julio, but don't drop him. I'd probably just take my chances, Julio is a stud and with Roddy hobbled and Jackson out, they need him.

 

[spidey07]

And they need a win. He'll play. Dude's a solid stud.

 

[spidey07]

What's the deal with WR Nate Washington? Does TEN Titans backup QB really like him?

Told my wife to pick him up and play over TY Hilton, all indicators say that's the right play.

I think so. My gf picked up Washington and put him in Flex. She has a sixth sense for these things.

Thanks guys. Good luck to you all today!

 

[MisterJackson]

Anyone??

Sorry, I thought I replied to this last night, but then I remembered the forum maintenance cut me out when I hit reply.

The only question I can help you with is Prater (I have him). DO NOT bench or drop him. He's playing. I, like you probably did, shit bricks on Thursday when he showed up on injury report. They say he practiced fully Friday, and no back up/replacement kicker was called in, so start him.

I LOVE Prater. He's a great kicker, behind a motherfucking cyborg TD throwing machine. Prater already has 40 something fantasy points so far this season,

 

[AstroManLuca]

Anyone??

I'd take Hill. He's the better receiver and has been heavily targeted by Geno Smith. And he had a concussion, which isn't a lingering type of injury like a knee or hamstring.

 

[spidey07]

I am SO in the dog house after TY Hilton blew up. She kept saying he was going to but I said Nate Washington was the better play based on all indicators.

Her nick name now is "Nate .8" for his points.

 

[tfinch2]

Ugh I am done for the week after Stafford's and Miller's performances today.

 

[T2urtle]

Same.

I was between Lamar miller, bell or David Wilson. I picked Lamar. Even with a Wilson injury, both were a better pick then miller. Now he will be forever benched.
