Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

No thanks, I'd rather gamble with waiver wire QBs. Quarterbacks are still deep enough that I can get by with Henne or Foles week by week depending on matchup. Guys like Cassel have put up more points in some games than QBs like Kaepernick or RGIII - it's all about the garbage time.

EDIT: Dropped Simpson for Keenan Allen.

Lol, I really should have rolled with Foles.

Now I need about, oh, 34 points from Keenan Allen to win this week.

 

[zinfamous]

Damn Randall Cobb will be out for "multiple weeks"

man, I sure hope this helps my value with James Jones.

My team is completely decimated after the last couple of weeks.

Some of my higher picks that had to be dropped:
Aldon Smith
Owen Daniels
DeMarcus Ware (well, I'm not dropping him, but ~4 weeks is painful)

...and Andre Johnson is basically a permanent, unproductive injury waiting for a season-ending injury.

Yes, and Foles is likely to be a hot commodity in 2QB leagues this week on the waiver wire. There will be a lot more teams on bye the next few weeks as well, so you'll need to plan your bid accordingly if you want Foles.

I hope so but I have a bad feeling about Rivers laying a turd tonight. I want him to do good though as I am starting him, I'm still stoked I got him off the waiver wire week 2 after Eli Manning started to shit the bed.

Good news for my fellow David Wilson owners (yes, all three of you like me who didn't drop him): Neck surgery wasn't recommended for him, so he may be back within a few weeks. That might put him at returning around the same time as Andre Brown, though, so if you aren't in a keeper/dynasty league you might have to decide whether it's worth keeping him or picking him up.

Michael Cox. Though they might have to get a veteran back from somewhere, no idea if they can rely on Cox.

I don't know what the fuck to do with him. This is non keeper. I want to still stash him for the playoffs but he's the guy who does jack shit everytime.

Jacobs already was the veteran brought out of storage. Are they desperate enough to call Michael Turner or Beanie Wells? Trading Nicks for MJD would make sense also, but they'd need to free up salary cap to handle the dead money hit from Nicks and even more to pay Drew.

He's like a voodoo curse who will fuck you over no matter what you do. Stash him, he'll find a way to fuck you. Drop him, he'll fuck you somehow later on. Trade him and whatever player you get in return will go down like the drummer from Spinal Tap.

Thank God I only own him in one league.

 

[spidey07]

I'm dropping that turd David Wilson.

I will never draft a giants RB again. I got burned on Brandon Jakobs a year or two ago in the same draft pick at #2. Saints and giants. You don't draft their RBs.

At week 6 I'm done hoping. I need to make the playoffs. We have 5 bench slots and he's dead weight.

The are rumors Nicks might be traded for someone before the deadline, but I'm not sure how much stock to put in those rumors just yet.

The Giants need someone for next week, at the least for depth. Cox is the last man standing of the Giants backfield. They had a few unsigned free agents that they tried out earlier in the season, so yeah maybe they could call someone like Turner or Wells. I think Kevin Smith would make a good addition, considering the Giants need.

EDIT: and as soon as I posted this, I read that the Giants are reportedly working out Peyton Hillis "among others".

Trade Nicks for Mark Ingram straight up

Holy shit if that happened. Imagine a Drew Brees vs. Manning Super Bowl if that trade went down. I think you'd be guaranteed at least 1,000 passing yards, and maybe pushing 1,200.

 

[MetalMat]

Man if Trent Richardson can't get anything done again I'm selling low on him. He is just not very good, Ryan Matthews looks better than him

i never understood the hype with him. i've been saying since last year that he's not that good...

Yeah he did nothing again tonight. Granted it was an odd game but he has just been so mediocre that I want to just wash my hands of him. Frank Gore has been frustrating too, he gets a bunch of yards but they never give him the goal line carries. At this point I trust starting Andre Ellington over Richardson

 

[T2urtle]

Start zac Stacy over cj0k... So tempting....

 

[ra1nman]

Would this should like a decent trade? 12 man non-ppr league. The team that is tied for 2nd place right now just lost Julio and is starting Thompkins, Garcon, and Hopkins. He has Forte, Martin, Matthews at RB. Im in need of a RB myself and pretty deep at WR with Jordy, DJax, Gordon, Harvin and Keenan. BTW at RB I have Charles, L.Miller, D.Wilson, McGaehe, and J.Bell

Should I try to trade Keenan for Martin straight up? Martin only has 1 point more than Keenan at this point....maybe throw in J.Bell as well?

It could come back to bite me but I am just selling low on him and he is nothing better than a mid/low #2 RB which I know you need. Keenan Allen is primed to be a real deal primary target for Rivers and could be a #1 WR for the rest of the season. I think you could get someone better than Martin if you package Allen with one of you running backs not named Charles but if you think Martin will turn it around then make the trade.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

Whew, i won by. 14 points. If Matthew's had 8 yards instead of six on that last run, I'd have lost.

 

[pete6032]

Both Percy Harvin and Keenan Allen are available in my league. Would you drop Mike Wallace for either of these two players?

Both are gone as of last week in mines. I would drop wallace for either.

 

[MetalMat]

The season has not been kind to one of my ppr leagues. I am barely 2-4 and have been riddled with injuries and under performing players. I am frustrated with the leagues scoring settings and short bench and won't be rejoining next season but need to finish it out. I've gotta start getting wins now for any shot at the playoffs

QB: Rodgers
RB: Trent Richardson, Frank Gore
W/TE: Tony Gonzalez, Steve Smith, Mike Williams
Bench: Roddy White, Andre Ellington, Alshon Jeffery, Joique Bell

Roddy White is not going to help me anytime soon and obviously his trade value is in the gutter. Should I drop Roddy White for one of these guys?

Jermichael Finley, Charles Clay, Terrance Williams, Jared Boykin, Rueben Randle, Kris Duram

I was thinking of trading Rodgers for an upgrade at another position and just rolling with a lesser QB. However top QBs are highly valued with the score settings and I really don't want to trade him.

Post the rest of your roster, you need to get both of those guys if you can. But yes I would drop Wallace for either. Good luck getting Allen though, he will be the top waiver pick in most leagues this week. I'm not sure if Harvin is still far enough out that he's under the radar still.
