Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

[Crono]

Damn the Colts for not trusting Bradshaw. I know his feet are held together with surgical pins and scotch tape, but he's coming off a 1,000 yard rushing season, and had a decent game last week with 65 yards and a TD on a team that doesn't have a terrific run game.

Oh well, at least I have T.Y. Hilton on my teams, so at least the presence of another decent running back will take some pressure off Luck and the receivers.

I still think Bradshaw will be relevant fantasy wise because he's a hard runner and will make use of limited touches, but being an RB2 will probably hurt his value a good deal.

The word is he'll be RB1 and bradshaw #2 which makes the most sense. Richardsons fantasy value just went up a good deal and bradshaw just plummeted to don't start.

Colts got nothing but pure win with this trade, it's HUGE for them. As a Colt fan, this is tremendous news...I freaking LOVE IT!

What does ANY great QB need to shine? Protection. Doesn't matter who you are at QB, if you don't have some protection you're not going to produce, but with one or two more seconds = greatness.

I may be biased, but Luck's stock and TY's stock just went up big time. Maybe Wayne as well.

Luck with protection with Wayne and TY Hilton and a serious run threat = deadly

I had to check the calendar and make sure it wasn't April 1st. Trent to the Colts is just OMGWTFBBQ?!?! Cleveland is mailing it in after week 2. Holy crap.

What do I do with Josh Gordon? It seems like he's their only option and a WR1. I'm tempted to play him this week.

Fitzgerald
TY Hilton
Edelman

I can't see putting Gordon over any of those. I may be 0-2 but I'm getting ready to bust out big time with Gronk and benching RB wilson.

RB1 - J Charles
RB2 - Lamar miller (was wilson)
Flex - Joique bell/Gordon/Ben Tate, tough call

I picked up McGahee, yahoo already has him projected at 9-10 pts starting week 4. Hurry and grab him, in the least he'll be great trade bait.

A guy was so desperate at RB he spent 10 bucks on waivers last week to pick up McGahee.

Desperate? Brilliant? Or Desperately Brilliant?

Lesson to be learned is startable RBs are hard to come by as the season goes on. WR? You can pick one up to cover for a few weeks.

He's a good work buddy in my league and I called him to say "don't you dare do anything with him without knowing this, hold him close". He owes me big time.

I get it, they have a decent defense but their offense is in shambles. Lombardi is probably hoping for 1st pick to get an elite player and then snatch a quarterback late in the first round since the qb class seems pretty deep.

There is lots of talk that Cleveland is purposely tanking it this year, now the play calling for T-Rich from game 1 is starting to make sense. They were putting in Ogbo-whatever-his-name-is on 3rd downs and sitting T-Rich, which T-Rich said was "baffling" to him. Every football analyst from here to China was wondering wtf the Browns were doing, now it's starting to make sense. In any case, I'm glad they had the decency to trade T-Rich to an above average team.

Well, McGahee still has to pass the physical but pretty sure the Browns already knew he was ready to go before pulling the trigger on this deal.

Nice move by your friend, albeit some crazy prognostication skills there! Maybe he works for Cleveland...

Who do you guys like better?

Willis McGahee at Minnesota or Darren McFadden at Denver?

I'm not going to start Richardson.

 

[slayer202]

mcfadden of course

Avoid the Browns like the plague, except Jordan Cameron.
Go with Darren McFadden, even though Denver's defense looks pretty good against the rush.

I'm starting Bradshaw in flex position Sunday against the 49ers. I'm hoping the new acquisition makes him run even harder against SF.

i'm not starting Cameron either. Not until weeden comes back or he proves he can catch from Hoyer

I wouldn't blame you for sitting him. For me it's a 50/50 gamble, though I'm hoping Gronk is playing and then I can just play him over Cameron. This week I may just risk it with Cameron, though.

I McGahee does sign with the Browns he'll be playing against the Vikings, not sure how you're getting Oakland from that.

Brain fart, Yahoo sports still has McGahee listed as a Bronco.

Another good waiver pickup might be MN DEF.

 

[MetalMat]

McGahee was ok last year when he was healthy but lets face the music. There is no way he is any better than a low end flex on the rockin Browns

 

[weirdichi]

I need a TE and W/T to fill. I have Cameron and Givens now, but Rudolph has a very good matchup and Bennett isn't too bad either, though his shoulder is hurting.

Jordan Cameron vs. MIN
Christ Givens vs. DAL
Kyle Rudolph vs. CLE
Emmanuel Sanders vs. CHI
Martellus Bennett vs. PIT

The Browns actually have a decent O-Line, depending if Lauvao is back at RG (he was scheduled to be back this week as of last Sunday). I think Greco has replaced injured Pinkston who had a high ankle sprain in the preseason but will be back later in the season. Greco is good.

Rudolph is the best option out of that batch. If Weeden, then Cameron. Bennett is a good second to both.

Okay, so do I grab McGahee (I'm in non PPR ESPN)???????

If so, who do I drop?

MJD
Gore
Bush
Murray

WTF to do??

If that is Michael Bush, then you drop him. Otherwise don't pick up McGahee.

I wouldn't mind having McGahee even if you had REGGIE Bush.. MJD, Bush banged up somewhat seriously (foot and knee), Gore hasn't doesn't jack. Maybe trade some away. Honestly, I prefer Joique Bell at this point over Reggie Bush
