Is anyone starting Kaepernick tonight?

I think he can bounce back against the Rams, especially if Vernon Davis is playing. I still think I am going to go with Luck against Jacksonville though.

I guess not. Yeah, everyone except me knows everyone else. It's my dad's work league and I'm also playing with them. The guy who set up the league who is 3-0 and has won every game by large margins executed the trade with one of his coworkers who probably got roped into playing. I've never played in a league where trade voting wasn't the norm.

Wow, is this a buy in league? If so, mind if I ask how much?

A good time to pick up Kendall Hunter if he is available in your league is before tonight's game.

... And it looks like Gronk won't play this week. Oh well, at least it makes it easy to sit him.

I did. Stupidly. It's either him or Rivers and so far Rivers has outscored him by...oh...100 points. Or so it seems. It's hard to bench him because I know he has the ability to drop a 30 point week. I just have know idea WTF is up with SFO.

Nope, just for fun league with no money. I'm not super worried about it but it's a little annoying how the admin set the league up as I would have voted against the trade.

I start Gore in my league and what happens? They get a big lead and then sit him for the 4th quarter and let other people get touchdowns. FF is starting to annoy me this year.

/sigh

SF played awful in Seattle last year and the Colts were an unexpected surprise. They will get back to how they played last year.

I'm happy with what he got, as a #2 RB getting 140 yrds and a TD is solid as a rock.

Spiller is in a timeshare and not even the best RB on his team so far. I avoided Spiller in every draft.

I would love to have Spiller for the second half of this season. Cost is too high for me to get him via trade right now. Watch enough of him and take a look at his stats, and you'll see even in a timeshare he's wort having, though admittedly most people did have to use a 1st round pick on him. Still, a lot of 1st to 3rd round picks didn't exactly work out fantastically, and I'd much rather have Spiller on my team than any other currently-non-productive running back.

No, I'd make your trade in a heartbeat. You can easily make up for tight end, and Miller and Wallace can be replaced with almost anyone off the waiver next time someone moves up a team depth chart this week or next. A Bolden or Broyles or better seems to emerge because of injury or lackluster play every week.

Thank you Mr. Gore! Sorry I benched you, Mr. Boldin.

And yeah, Hunter getting Gore's TD's was a little fucking annoying, but I'm still happy with his points!

I bet once the Google spiders get done crawling this thread, your post will be the first and only search result given the terms "Matt Cassel owners excited" since that's probably the first time in history those words have been used in the same sentence :)

Might be the NFL version of this:

Dude are you f-ing kidding me? You get 150 yards and a TD from a RB2 and you're complaining? Between this and the bullshit hindsight posts, you are starting to look like a fool.

James Jones dropped to waivers in one league and I would like to pick him up. However due to league rules I would be forced to drop 2 WR to pick him up.

Reason is because we can only have 4 WR max but I have Amendola in my IR slot. Because Amendola was just listed as doubtful I am technically at 5 WR and it won't allow me to make any transactions until I get down to 4. Plus if I take Amendola out of IR I won't be able to stick him back in this week.

My WR are:

Vincent Jackson
Pierre Garcon
Josh Gordon
Santonio Holmes
Danny Amendola
