Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

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.

I'm probably biased against Mathews, since he screwed one of my teams last year.

I still don't know why people draft him.

Actually, I still don't know why he's an NFL starter.

I'm really weak on the RB position ... wanted to propose a trade to grab Trent Richardson. Or anyone I should pick up from FA?

This is who I have in my RB slots.
BUF - Fred Jackson
STL - Daryl Richardson
GB - James Starks
SEA - Robert Turbin

Should I have offer up Dez Bryant or Julian Edelman?
DAL - Dez Bryant
NYG - Victor Cruz
DET - Calvin Johnson
NE - Julian Edelman
SEA - Golden Tate

Wow those are some bad RB. You could try picking up McGahee, but I doubt he does much this week. You're probably going to have to trade one of your top 3 WRs to get a good RB. Maybe Jackson + Bryant for a top 10 RB?

 

[SP33Demon]

What do you guys think about Eric Decker for Joique Bell? Keep in mind this is in a 12 team league so RBs are going to be a hot commodity. Decker's production has been cannibalized by Welker and with the emergence of J.Thomas and Moreno so he's not consistent enough to start for me. I'd rather use J.Bell right now than Decker to be fair. My starters are Cobb/S.Smith.

Another weird twist is that I'm giving up benchwarmer Eli (his starter is Dalton which he is throwing in the deal lololol) but I've been looking to dump Eli to open up a bench slot to pick up Bryce Brown (Bell obv way more value). He would probably improve his team more in the trade but as RBs start dropping like flies, Bell could pay off big in the future (Bush is going down at some point). I'm balls deep in good RBs which I'm stockpiling (Rice, Richardson, Moreno, McGahee, and even Pead will emerge soon) and if one of my WR's goes down I have great trade bait with the addition of Bell. How is my logic on this deal.

Sounds logical. Hush your mouth about Bush though!

Anyone else shit their pants last night when McCoy grabbed his ankle?

 

[slayer202]

ppr league...I'm playing Sproles and need one of these three...
Trent Richardson
David Wilson
Bernard Pierce

Ugg, you gotta go Trent Richardson. I'm benching Wilson until he gets more than 1 point per game.

 

[MisterJackson]

Yep. And I don't even own him. I was a little floored when he came back out. Tough kid.

 

[SP33Demon]

As an Eagles fan and owning him in one of my leagues, yes! Even more surprised when he busted that lightening run past KC's safeties on that ankle. Guy isn't even human, I'm thinking about trading for him in my 2nd league.

I dont think i could part with him. Im a big McCoy fan. I think he'll be fine.

 

[MisterJackson]

So I bit the bullet and dropped MJD for McGahee. Huge roll of the dice, I know, but who knows, maybe it'll pay off big.

Just wishing I'd held onto No-show Moreno now. Dropped him before he had that last game. He was exhibiting the same pattern he showed last year when I had him.

 

[slayer202]

that's a terrible terrible move. mcgahee? big time meh

you could have found someone to to trade MJD to

who else do you have on your bench?

 

[Imported]

Debating between Joique Bell, Tavon Austin or Roddy White in the flex. Any thoughts?

 

[spidey07]

I'm big on Bell. I think Reggie Bush is going to see limited snaps. Plus he's very talented. If Reggie is out then it's a no brainer. A lot of the shows I listen to are calling for Bell to be a must start flex, if Reggie out then he moves into RB2 territory.

 

[MisterJackson]

NOBODY wanted MJD in trade. I tried. I just don't have faith in the dude. Deck's stacked against him with team he's on. I wanted to hold on to him, but I've got to do SOMETHING to keep from being 0-3.

I still have Gore, Murray and Bush. McGahee had a decent run last year before his injury, and that injury looks to be cleared up now.

I'll admit, it's move with a lot of risk, but if it hits, and McGahee becomes a RB2, low end RB1, then I got in when the gettin was good.

It's a long season ahead though. Pray to the FFL Gods for me

 

[spidey07]

No love for Eddie Royal still? I'm surprised nobody picked him up in my league. Folks keep saying "no way he keeps this up".

Yeah, but what if he does? That's a risk I'm willing to take if I had a roster spot. My wife dropped Broyles for him just in case.

 

[Connoisseur]

I'm getting offered Spiller or Ray Rice for Trent Richardson in a PPR league. Any thoughts? Normally I'd heavily consider either since Richardson was on the Browns and i'm 0-2 but I'm thinking his stock is going to go up starting week 4. I don't think i'd take Rice since he's an injury risk but Spiller seems really solid and he doesn't have a terrible schedule.

I'm thinking the trent trade moves him up to the top 5 RBs and above Spiller and Rice. Its close with spiller though. One thing I dont like about spiller is he's in a timeshare with fred jackson, and fred might even be getting the goalline carries.

If you're dropping someone like Broyles to take a flier on Royal, then sure its justifiable. I don't think he'll keep it up either, but there's a chance.

I need some lineup advice, this team is spiraling downward and I need a win bad this week to not go 0-3

2 RB, PPR

Trent Richardson @ 49ers
Frank Gore vs Colts
Joique Bell @ Redskins
James Starks @ Bengals

As a bonus whould I start Mike Williams @ Patriots or Marlon Brown vs Houston. Thanks

Marlon Brown.. Gore and Bell

 

[T2urtle]

^ I believe Gore will be back in good form this week.


I'm in a bind as well. I need a flex. PPR as well

garcon, dez fitz and charles and Joique Bell being my backs. I need a flex.

In order how i rank them.
- James Jones
- Lamar Miller
- Greg Jennings
- Eddie Royal
- Montee Ball

I'm tempted to a little gutsy and try Royal out. Miller and Jones is my biggest coin flip. Jones had a 0 game week 1 and a 10 catch, 100 yard game in week2.

Royal belongs above Jennings. Hard to rank Jones over Miller considering he could score 40 points or zero depending on who Rodgers decides to target any given Sunday.
