Man I had a chance to grab Jimmy Graham in the second round in multiple leagues and am kicking myself for not doing it. He is averaging 26 points a game in ppr leagues, if he keeps that up he is looking at over 420 points for the season which is unreal.

I ended up getting him in the 3rd round. What is hurting me is I got David Wilson as my 2nd pick. Still 1st in points scored but think my team could have been a bit better.

There could be teams out there that drafted Adrian Peterson, Jimmy Graham, Peyton Manning and Wes Welker. In that case the rest of the league might as well be waving the white flag :p

The more I look at Keenan Allen and after reading up on him, the more I think he could be the best receiver pickup of the year. I'm surprised I was able to pick him up as a free agent off waivers in two leagues.

Wise owners: Grab him off waivers if he's available.

He is slipping quick and has the potential to be a stud. I love the dude but I still like Vincent Brown more at this point.

Vincent Brown will probably be more consistent. I was reluctant to pick up Keenan Allen at first because I have Brown in all my leagues, but Allen looks like a lot like Dez Bryant in terms of physicality and ability. Allen could have gone in the first round of the NFL draft this year, but there were some concerns (speed being one, he had a 4.7 40 yard dash time, possibly only that slow because of an ankle injury he was recovering from) that moved him down a bit.

He looked good in the past two games, and hopefully he continues to mature as a player. Certainly worth a gamble now that Rivers is shaping up to be a good quarterback once again.

(I'm a Chargers fan so I might be a bit biased)

He's a good player. I'm surprised the Rams didn't draft him, but then again they picked Stedman Bailey and he is going to be one helluva player as well. His highlight reel from WVU was just unreal, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up having a better career than Tayvon Austin.

I'm a chargers fan too because they gave us Drew Brees, Darren Sproles and we got back Robert Meachem :D

Lol. Chargers specialize in giving away some of their best players. At least we have Woodhead now doing some of the same things as Sproles.

Just watched the Jets vs Falcons game (I'm loving condensed games on NFL Rewind). Mike Goodson is a better runner than Powell and not a bad as a receiver, either. I hope he can manage to steal some of Powell's work. Not too shabby for first game back and someone who supposedly wasn't in NFL shape.

Ok so i need a TE going forward. Yahoo PPR league. I currently have Winslow- Jets. He is getting dropped. I offered Fitz for Gronk but i dont think that will pan out.

My orginal plan was to roll with Celek or Jordan Reed. But now Jared Cook was just dropped. I'm not sure if i should spend a Wavier pick or just wait it out til sunday morning.


This is my horrible pool, seems like everyone wants to play double TE.

Grab Celek. In case Foles starts, Celek will get points.

If its ppr go with Celek but I do not like the matchup. Tampa has a very good defense, don't let the Patriots game score fool you. Djax will be on Revis Island and the Bucs are gonna lock down on the running game and bring the house on Foles. Going to be a dink and dunk day for Foles which should get Celek some points but I would not expect a TD.

So no care for Jared cook at all, looking past this game? I haven't seen the rams but is that how bad they are, kinda like the jags.

I wonder if Ahmad Bradshaw and David Wilson will hold hands while having simultaneous neck surgery or therapy... drafted of them in the Auction Keeper PPR league. :(

I blame Brandon Jacobs. Must have done some voodoo to absorb their powers and resurrect himself Voldemort style.

I think next year the draft will be really interesting. I think a bunch of people will hold off on the inexperienced running backs due to the large amount of busts this season. Out of all the rookie & 2nd year running backs drafted only 3 are in the top 25 based on average per game (ppr) which is Giovani Bernard at #20, Doug Martin at #23, Le'Veon Bell is technically #1 but he has only played one game.

It's always the same deal, but they are like lottery tickets and people can't resist

Do you guys think I go with DeSean Jackson with him being on Revis Island? Or should I play the rook Keenan Allen?
