Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

[Imported]

In other news water is wet, fire is hot and Danny Amendola is injured yet again

Damn. I had a bet with my friend it'd be two weeks.

 

[Slew Foot]

Pick 3 WR, yahoo non ppr.

D Thomas (duh)
Roddy White
James Jones
Kenbrell Thomkins
Marlon Brown

leaning towards DT and the rookies, due to Roddy's injury and it looks like James Jones told one too many Aaron Rodgers Yo Momma jokes, what say you?

 

[soulcougher73]

Ok i need 2 RBs and a Flex out of these 4 players.

McCoy (obvious)
D. Wilson
D. Murray
J. Edelman

Currently i have McCoy and Wilson in RB1 & 2 spots and Edelman in Flex. Worth it to take another chance on Wilson or move Murray to his spot..or flex even?

 

[vi edit]

Murray over Wilson. Guaranteed 20+ touches and goal line work. Plus he has a sneaky reception skill that is improving if you are in a PPR league. Ride him till he's broke.

I'd have a tougher time deciding between Wilson and Edelman. If PPR, Edelman. If not, I'd maybe take my chances on Wilson. Both of those guys have a big questionmark of output behind them.

 

[eits]

I was able to pick up Boldin off the waiver wire today.

I still can't believe he went undrafted in our league.

wtf?! lol i picked him up in the 5th round

well that was dumb

 

[benzylic]

Should I start Winslow against the Pats for tonight, or hope Jermichael Finley is able to go on Sunday? I cant wait for Gronk to come back.

I managed to pick up Edelman off waivers yesterday , I would have rather had Joique Bell but the guy in front of me got him .

 

[zinfamous]

well that was dumb

Why? With Crabtree's injury prior to just about anyone's draft, Boldin was the de-facto #1 target for Kaepernick.

Some might assume that would be Vernon Davis...but these people would be those that never watched an Kapernick-lead SF game last year. Dude completely ignored Davis that entire stretch. Davis has a good game the first week, but that was certainly unexpected when all you have to go on is the previous half season.

boldin having a good game was unexpected as well

Anquan Boldin led all receivers in catches, yards and targets. So why is he only No. 22? Because we’re still talking about a player who averaged 61.2 yards per game in 60 contests between 2009-12. It’s quite possible he’s hit on a dream scenario, but 60 minutes of football simply isn’t enough to elevate him to every-week WR2 status.

we'll see if kaep can carry him to another level

I'd take Jones over Brown. I doubt he'll lay another goose egg.

I'm going Finley. He practiced today, albeit on a limited basis, and I think he's got too much upside to bench compared to Winslow. Winslow is a guy you start if you're totally stuck, like if you ONLY have him and Gronk.

 

[cheezy321]

Should I start Steve Smith or Knowshon Moreno in my flex?

I am leaning towards Moreno. They used him a ton last week and I think that trend will continue.

 

[chiza]

Since Amendola is out, would you guys start Thompkins instead of either Antonio Brown or Cecil Shorts? Can't make up my mind

 

[weirdichi]

Who to play in flex this week?

1: A.J. Green
2: Torrey Smith
3: ?????

Darrius Heyward-Bey (vs MIA)
Emmanuel Sanders (vs CIN)
Vincent Brown (vs PHI)

Or I could pick up Chris Givens (vs ATL), Denarious Moore (vs JAX), or Eddie Royal (vs PHI). I'm leaning towards just leaving in Heyward-Bey, but Moore sounds like a good matchup against lowly Jags.

 

[BudAshes]

I wouldn't start bey, but I'm biased as a raiders fan I've seen him suck for years. I'd go Givens since he just got owned by a top cornerback last week. I think samuel is out for the falcons too which makes a great matchup for him. He's got a chance for a big week.

 

[BudAshes]

What do you think about Rueben Randle vs Kenbrell Thompkins. Thimpkins will get a ton of targets but I'm not sure he's good. Randle will be in a shootout with Denver but is the 3rd option. I'm thinking Randle right now.

 

[glenn1]

Looks like Reggie Bush is more banged up than previously thought - hyperextended knee added to injury report.

 

[spidey07]

Thanks. Hello j bell.

 

[BudAshes]

Damn good thing I went randle. Thompkins is miserable.

 

[spidey07]

Damn good thing I went randle. Thompkins is miserable.

Game was ugly. I really want my Gronk to get back. With Amendola out for a while it's going to be a gronkowski gobble if he's healthy.

New nikname for receiver Dobson = Dropson.

 

[SP33Demon]

Should I start Steve Smith or Knowshon Moreno in my flex?

I am leaning towards Moreno. They used him a ton last week and I think that trend will continue.

That's a tough call, but I think Smith is the better option since they hinted at throwing the deep ball a lot more. And that leaves only one person on the team to throw it to!

Moreno is still a good Flex and will get you a solid 6-12 points every week until Montee Ball learns how to block.

Dear Lord, it seems Reggie Bush blew his load last week. Bell's value just skyrocketed.

In other news, Indy has announced it will split carries evenly between Ballard and Bradshaw, but I think that's just code for "we don't want to upset the higher paid Bradshaw by officially declaring Ballard the starter". Ballard has been blocking so well it actually made news this week, so he is pretty much guaranteed a solid 5 points and more every week, especially considering Bradshaw's annual injuries. Bradshaw seems to be a bad bad pick in the early rounds now.

If Ballard is even available folks should pick him up (he likely isn't but worth a shot, I wanted to draft him). He's a quality runner capable of 10+ points every week. Doesn't mean he'll get them, but you have a 50/50 shot. Coach Pagano said he was amazed at his blitz pickups, he was 6 for 6. And with Pagano's focus on protecting Luck you can bet Ballard is going to see the majority of the snaps. He even looked better than Bradshaw last week at running.

If you haven't noticed I love vick ballard.

Slight problem with that now, Ballard declared done for the season with a knee injury.

Where do you see this? I just see reports of a strain.

Oh damn. Guess I will put Bradshaw in as my flex after all.
