Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

[Crono]

Do you guys think I go with DeSean Jackson with him being on Revis Island? Or should I play the rook Keenan Allen?

I wouldn't be scared of 2013 Revis if I were DeSean Jackson.

The Foles vs Vick situation is a bit more worrying, though Foles isn't a bad passer and he should still throw a lot to Jackson.

I would find a way to use Allen for another slot if DeSean Jackson isn't your WR1 or if you have a flex spot, but otherwise Allen - while there is a ton of upside there, and I like what I've seen so far - is a bit riskier, and there is as much if not more upside potential with DeSean Jackson right now. He's still one of the quickest and fastest receivers.

It's always the same deal, but they are like lottery tickets and people can't resist

But for some reason this year it seems much worse than normal. I drafted Eddie Lacy and David Wilson in one league but I got them in the 7th and 8th round respectively and they were never intended to be a starting RB to start out the season. However a ton of people went coocoo when Andre Brown got injured and were drafting Wilson in the 2nd and 3rd rounds as a #2 RB which I found to be totally ludicrous.

I'm hoping for another win this week with Yahoo predicting against me.

 

[MetalMat]

Wow, David Wilson could be out for the season for Spinal Stenosis surgery. Man when it rains it pours, he is getting a second opinion Monday. That is a serious condition and should not be taken lightly

Man your team is looking a little rough, I'm surprised you are 3-2. Are people on bye this week for you?

 

[BeeBoop]

How does my lineup look? Should I make any changes? I'm on the left with RG3.

AJ Green and Josh Gordon are my other WRs so it was just a matter of whether starting DJax was worth it or not.

 

[MetalMat]

I just added Miles Austin to my bench in a league. Wes Welker & Victor Cruz are on bye week 9 and I will need a WR, the Cowboys have a nice matchup against the Vikings that week. I also dropped Eli Manning for Terrelle Pryor

 

[Ayrahvon]

Wasn't a question I was expecting to ask this week but, who do I start...

Vincent Jackson against Philly (worst pass defense in the league)

or

Justin Blackmon against Denver (4th worst, but has given up the most passing yards)

I don't trust either's QB, but both should put up numbers against these awful pass d's and they are likely to both be playing from behind so a lot of bombs are in order.

VJax has not been great but the matchup is just too good to sit him and this could be a great bounce back game. In a league I am starting him ahead of Danny Amendola

I've been leaning that way myself (he's the one currently in my lineup). I think I'll give Blackmon another game before I decide to start him. Vjax has been productive in yards, but not in TDs, and I think he'll have plenty of opportunities this week.

Take out Megatron, put in T.Williams. Megatron has to deal with Haden ( http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/sports/2013/10/12/hadens-next-job-cover-megatron.html ), I'd bet on Dallas lighting it up over that scenario any day of the week. Plus Mega may not even play, and if he does will he be 100%?

Either way, your opponent is just sorry. Kaepernick starting against AZ? lol. L.Fitz vs SF? Bad matchup. MJD vs Denver? Even worse. You could probably beat that team with 1 receiver based on their decisions/matchups.

 

[weirdichi]

Help me pick two.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis vs. BUF
Chris Johnson vs. SEA
Bilal Powell vs. PIT
C.J. Spiller vs. CIN

I have Johnson and Powell starting only because Spiller is still questionable and not 100%. Johnson vs. SEA is such a horrible matchup.

Also, Justin Blackmon, Kyle Rudolph, or Denarius Moore for flex position?

 

[MisterJackson]

Well, I was going to put Gronk in Flex, but that doesn't look likely to happen. So I've got T.Y. Hilton (@SD) and Terrance Williams (vs. Wsh) to put in flex. I could also add Keenan Allen (vs. Ind) from FA, but I'd have to drop one of them.

T. Williams has Austin coming back to cut into his production and T.Y. is essentially WR3 on a team that runs two WR sets...so, who to Flex?

Blackmon. Johnson and Powell seem your safest bets

 

[JujuFish]

Flex position in PPR league: CJ Spiller, Vincent Jackson, or Marques Colston?

I currently have Colston in, but I'm not sure.

Colston all the way.

That's going to be a good game to watch, too.

Thanks! But i'm not going to play T. Williams since Miles Austin is back in the game. It's either going to be Woodhead or Jordan Cameron.

 

[saratoga172]

RB2: Bilal Powell or frank gore?

Gore plays the cardinals and Powell the steelers.

 

[soulcougher73]

James Jones @ BAL
or
T.Y. Hilton @ SD?

 

[MisterJackson]

James Jones @ BAL
or
T.Y. Hilton @ SD?

FWIW Baltimore hasn't allowed any TD's at home this season, though GB will likely change that today. Hilton is a WR3, but I look to start him today against SD

 

[MisterJackson]

Dammit, Gronk...c'mon, man!

 

[weirdichi]

Which DEF should I start?

NYJ (vs PITT)
MIN (vs CAR)
TB (vs PHI)

 

[Crono]

I can't catch a break in one league.

Already lost Bradshaw, Hoyer, and potentially Wilson to season ending injuries, and now Randall Cobb is injured.

And then there's Gronk... Had to pick and start Celek in his place.

I told everyone and their momma start start Vincent Jackson this week and I was right on the money
