Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

[AmdEmAll]

Sorry, I thought I replied to this last night, but then I remembered the forum maintenance cut me out when I hit reply.

The only question I can help you with is Prater (I have him). DO NOT bench or drop him. He's playing. I, like you probably did, shit bricks on Thursday when he showed up on injury report. They say he practiced fully Friday, and no back up/replacement kicker was called in, so start him.

I LOVE Prater. He's a great kicker, behind a motherfucking cyborg TD throwing machine. Prater already has 40 something fantasy points so far this season,

I ended up putting Celeb Sturgis in since he's been very consistent this year and im glad I did. Normally I would agree about Prater though and he might turn out to get more points.. we'll see.

Kenbrell Thompkins fucked me today.. 1.6 points so im most likely going to lose.

Still not sure whether to put Hill or Kerley in.. leaning towards Kerley still.

EDIT: lol @ prater getting 18 points.. fml.. unlikely it would have saved me anyway.

So far a goose egg for Welker but Julius Thomas is having a great game for me

 

[TrueBlueLS]

I just need to hang on. I've got Eddie Royal left to play and I'm going up against Jacquizz Rodgers and Atlanta's D. I hope 30 points is enough of a cushion.

Should I play Rivers tonight against Oakland or Ryan tomorrow against the New York Jets?

 

[MetalMat]

Even if one of my teams lose today because of an outstanding Romo performance on the other end I am loving the team. It's ppr and I have 4 legit #1 WRs with Welker, Cruz, AJ Green & Jordy Nelson. On top of that Julius Thomas has been a great addition and Ediie Lacy is looking like he will turn into fantastic #2 RB. No doubt I get into the playoffs and make some noise.

 

[MetalMat]

Tough decision but I would ride Rivers while he is hot. Oakland is not good. You do take a chance of circa 2011/2012 Rivers and him stinking it up but you gotta like the upside.

 

[SP33Demon]

I am looking great this week. Won both games already, with more slaughter still to come with Ryan vs the Jets tomorrow.

 

[tfinch2]

Unless Rivers slips on a banana peel on his way to the field I am done. Big difference between 1-4 and 2-3. Ugh.

You can still come back from 1-4. I was 1-4 last season in a league then ran the table and won the league.

Yeah I haven't given up hope. I do have the 2nd highest point total in my league, so it has been a lot of bad luck so far too.

 

[Adrenaline]

I am down by 9 with him having only Gore left playing. I have my QB situation and Julio left.

It is looking like 2-2 in my leagues this week.

Youre good and will win this week.

Yep. All you gotta do is make it into the playoffs then pull off a Giants/Ravens hot streak and take the title.

Wrong thread.

Again. /sigh

So this is how well my week is going. I was going to play Deangelo Williams, then read PFF that he is a strong no-play against AZ's run D. So I have to pick up DMC's backup (Jennings) since he's a strong play against SD. I had to drop Atlanta's DST in order to get Jennings and play my regular DST this week which was still a top 10 pick (around #8) so I was a little worried. That DST was SF. Time for Jennings to pile on even more points although this week is locked as a W. Don't think I've seen an NFL game played at this time? haha

 

[MetalMat]

So I am up 124.14 to 121.54 in my ppr league. He has Jaquizz Rogers and I have Bilal Powell, going to be an interesting game tonight.

On another note I picked up James Jones off the Waiver Wire in a league and got lucky starting him.

My opponent and I are currently tied. I have Powell and the falcons defense tonight, while he has noone left. So unless those to manage to sum to negative numbers I will pick up my first win of the season

 

[MisterJackson]

I am SO in the dog house after TY Hilton blew up. She kept saying he was going to but I said Nate Washington was the better play based on all indicators.

Her nick name now is "Nate .8" for his points.

Dude, my gf was PISSED yesterday (at herself of course, but I tried to stay clear of the wake). She dropped Alshon Jeffries for Nate Washington. So yeah, she wasn't having a good day. Not to mention I beat her this week. In FFL, not a domestic violence kinda way

You should be fine, you a guaranteed a couple of interceptions with Geno Smith throwing and I seriously doubt the Jets are going to put up 30+ points.

You're probably okay but you never know. Quizz is in a timeshare, Powell isn't, and the Jets are a much tougher run defense than the Falcons.

LOL at James Jones being available on waivers.

I could have told you that Nate Washington was going to crash back down to earth upon losing his starting QB and facing off against a very good defense. Jeffrey went off last week and should be good going forward, and the Bears have favorable matchups as well.

Now I'm rooting for Tony G to have less than 49 yards tonight so I can win. Doesn't seem likely but at least it's not a PPR.

Yep. Prater FTMFW! He was gravy for me. I look to win the overall points for the week in our league so long as Julio doesn't run backwards,, or score TD's for the Jets tonight

Also, I had some wonky stuff happen with my scoring yestrday, and wondered if anyone else had the same issue?

ESPN Non PPR league.

On a couple occasions, my KC D/ST showed having 30 points! At the point I saw it, they had one pick 6, but it would show 3. I wasn't watching that game at the moment, so I was thinking for a hot second that it was legit. Bricks were almost shat. then I flipped over and reality sank in.

Oh well, the rush was nice!

We can only have 4 WR max in the league so I was not shocked he was dropped but I was able to skate around the rules and use my IR slot to actually have 5 Wide Recievers.

With Vincent Jackson and Pierre Garcon on bye I was kind of forced to start him which I am glad I did. Unfortunately I am going to need to drop a WR because I can't make any moves until I take Danny Amendola out of the IR slot as I am technically breaking the roster rules right now. Not sure who it will be but I really don't want to drop Jones.

Also, don't forget regarding Quizz that Steven Jackson will be back in < 2 weeks so he really doesn't add much value after next week.
