Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

[MisterJackson]

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

I traded Bell for Bush, haha. I'm trying to convince McCoys owner to trade me for him. At first he was seriously on the fence, with "I don't know man...." as his response. but I introduced him to a girl tonight (at a concert we all were at) who is a friend of mine, and he is very interested in her. He didn't have an in with her up until now. On my way out the door, he said, "Hey! Call me about that trade tomorrow, man!" Crossing my fingers.

If I got McCoy, I'd even consider dropping whoever's left at RB for McGahee. To see if I could build a dominant RB team.

Bell for Bush is sorta baffling to me.. in any case, at this point it would take a lot to get McCoy. Your RBs haven't performed that well (Bush did well week 1) and McCoy has been going nuts! I don't know maybe if he got laid then he might. :awe:

While the Browns do stink (more) without Richardson, as long as McGahee passes his physical and doesn't get injured during season(!) he should get all the touches. Browns have no one to really challenge him for the job. Apparently, their current HC was McGahee's OC at the U (according to TMR) - prob why they went after him. Prob only worth as a flex in any case.

He got picked up instantly in my 14 team league (some people are dying for RBs - one team drafted Steven Jackson and Ahmad Bradshaw - talk about pwnage).

 

[T2urtle]

Is this a fair trade? I think this works out for both teams. Its full of what ifs and maybes. Ppr.


I get Gore, amedola and celek for bell(lions), James Jones and Eddie royal.

I want a solid back and I get that in gore. I don't need any of those WR. Getting amedola and having him sit til week 7 isn't a huge deal for me. He is a flex at best for me.

The guy I'm trading with needs some.wr and overall help. If royal and bell get the chance they can put up solid numbers but they would be on my bench mainly.

 

[woodman1999]

Would you guys trade TY Hilton for Lamar Miller? I would be getting Miller, and keep in mind that my starting RB's are currently Danny Woodhead and Matt Forte (have Vereen on my bench)

Forte is fine but Miller is a big upgrade from Woodhead at RB2. I'd take the trade unless Hilton is your WR1 or something; and if that's the case you have more problems than this trade can address.

I have Cruz and Welker is my WR's, Torrey Smith is my flex and I have Hartline and E. Sanders on my bench with Hilton.

 

[NoCreativity]

I have Cruz and Welker is my WR's, Torrey Smith is my flex and I have Hartline and E. Sanders on my bench with Hilton.

Sounds like a decent trade to me.

 

[SP33Demon]

Do the trade, you are good at WR but Woodhead as your RB2 is horrible, just horrible. TY Hilton's stock just went up because of T-Rich's trade to Indy, but you can afford to take the hit.

Is Trent Richardson actually going to play this week?? Hearing mixed things, some are saying he will and others that he won't.

Hope not. In going against a guy with bradshaw and Trent as his only backs. Lol

You'd think they'd want to wait till next week so he can get up to speed on their plays, styles, etc. But who the hell knows.

The guy I wanna trade McCoy away from has Trent, and Hilton. He's looking to benefit from this big time.

Probably more of a shared role this week before he takes over primary RB duties.

Dunno how to feel about this from a fantasy perspective. I have both Richardson and Bradshaw on one of my teams. So on the one hand, Richardson should now perform significantly better surrounded by a more skilled team. But on the other hand Bradshaw will likely do nothing the rest of the season barring injury.

From a fantasy perspective, you got screwed because you used to have 2 starting backs and now have 1. Hopefully you picked up McGahee like I did.

T-Rich and Ray Rice speculation is some torture. I have Moreno and now McGahee as backups but I'd still like to know who I'm playing sooner than later. If both Trich and Rice are out I can pop Eric Decker into my Flex as a worst case scenario and just have to hope for the best this week.

What is the likelihood Rice will play this week? I've got Pierce available to add right now, and wonder if I should just go that route versus waiting on a trade. Miller and McGahee are also available for me to pick up.

Again, I have:

Gore
MJD
Murray
Bush

Can start 2 RB's and 1 in flex

I would pick up Lamar Miller for Flex and go Gore/Murray for this week. Bush is a 50/50 to start and MJD's ankle is all screwed up. Jags say MJD will probably play against Seattle which is baffling to me since he will probably get hurt even more and be out longer without healing.

Some news on T-Rich:

Coach Chuck Pagano said that newly acquired Trent Richardson will play in Sunday's game at San Francisco.
When asked how much Richardson will play in Week 3, Pagano said, "As much as he can handle." The Colts didn't give up a first-round pick to let Richardson idle behind Ahmad Bradshaw. The playbook at the running back position is among the easiest to pick up, meaning T-Rich could see the majority of early-down work right away. He does have a brutal matchup, but he's still on the flex radar. "This guy is a rolling ball of butcher knives," Pagano said of Richardson. "He fits our scheme to a T."

 

[Imported]

Richardson had a better OL in front of him at Cleveland.. I may bench him for Bell and start a WR in the flex this week.

But are they going to stack the box against him? Not with luck throwing to Wayne, TY, and Fleener.

but then again it's SF, lol. But I think he'll have an easier time running after SF

 

[Caesar]

What do you guys think of my picks for start? Definitely not sure about TE. Currently starting the ones italicized.

QB: Tom Brady, Philip Rivers
RB: Adrian Peterson, DeMarco Murray, David Wilson, Bejarvus Green-Ellis
WR: AJ Green, Julian Edelman, Hakeem Nicks, Danny Amendola, Chris Givens, Deandre Hopkins
TE: Brent Celek, Kyle Rudolph
K: Matt Prater
D/ST: Vikings, Bengals

 

[tfinch2]

Who should I start at QB this week, Luck or Kaepernick?

I was originally going with Kaepernick for a few reasons:

1.) Luck is playing SF in SF
2.) Kaepernick is probably going to come out guns blazing after last week's smackdown

But if Richardson is going to play, I think this opens up Indy's passing attack a bit.

I think I am going to stick with Kaepernick this week, and go back to Luck in Week 4 (at Jacksonville).

Sitting at 0-2, I really need a win this week. I've been putting up good numbers compared to the rest of the league, but my opponents just so happen to be putting up great numbers so far.

Kaepernick every single week and Luck only when Kaep plays Seattle and the bye week. There, now your entire season QB questions are solved.

RB: Adrian Peterson, DeMarco Murray, David Wilson, Bejarvus Green-Ellis
WR: AJ Green, Julian Edelman, Hakeem Nicks, Danny Amendola, Chris Givens, Deandre Hopkins
TE: Brent Celek, Kyle Rudolph
K: Matt Prater
D/ST: Vikings, Bengals

Start Rudolph over Celek, but to be honest Rudolph is only ahead by 8 spots or so for week 3. It's up to you, but keep in mind that Minnesota should be getting a bunch of 3 and outs against cleveland which means more Rudolph time. Also, Rudolph is 3rd on the depth chart behind Simpson and Jennings. Celek is what, 4th or 5th?

 

[benzylic]

Who should I go with this week? 2 RB, 2 WR, and a flex

RB: Spiller, Mathews, Powell, Mendenhall
WR: Dez, Welker, Edelman, T.Y. Hilton

Spiller, and Dez are obvious starts. I think the Cards will be passing alot to keep up with the Saints so Mendenhall is out. I'm almost inclined to go with Powell going against the Bills. Recever I'm really not sure outside of Bryant. The other three seem like they should all have good games. Dez and Welker with Edelman at flex?

[SP33Demon]

I'd say:
RB: Spiller, Mendenhall
WR: Dez, Welker
Flex: Edelman

This - except at RB, Matthews instead of Mendenhall. Mendy has 3 injuries and may not even play.

Edelman is definitely more reliable at FLEX than Powell or T.Y. Hilton, even if he's stuck on Revis Island.
