Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

I'm actually contemplating starting Rivers over Rogers this week... someone talk me out of it...

 

[crownjules]

Man this year is terrible for RBs. I have TRich and J Bell as my starters now. There's like one team in my league that I could see giving up a RB in a reasonable trade because everyone else is just as hard up as I am at the position.

Said team has the following stable of RBs: Lynch, MJD, L Miller, R Mathews, D Williams, Tate, and McGahee. Doubtful he'd let go of Lynch and I'm not interested in MJD, Tate, or Miller. Mathews or Williams are probably the best bets as consistent point earners. He's hard up at WR with no one ranked above #29.

I have Keenan Allen I could offer for trade (starting WRs are DJax, AJ Green, and Gordon). Maybe even sell him high to get Williams and McGahee or Mathews and McGahee for Keenan and some RB like K Hunter or Hillman.

Also hopefully I can grab Chris Ogbonnaya off waivers.

Thoughts?

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.

This is bad news as far as I'm concerned... I just want to drop him. I KNOW if I drop him and someone in my league picks him up, he'll go off at the end of the year.

If Henne starts, MJD will get points. If Gabbert starts, MJD will be almost worthless.

I would but my main concern is if San Diego changes there offensive playcalling to what happened last night which would limit production from Rivers. However I don't expect that to happen against the Jaguars.

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.

Richardson out - - Ellington in
Mike Williams out - - Jeffery in

Drop Roddy White, pick up Jermichael Finley/Terrance Williams/Reuben Randle

 

[Uppsala9496]

2 QB league. Can carry a max of 3 QB's.

I have Wilson, Vick and Alex Smith.

Foles is available however that would require dropping Smith and would leave me with no QB's week 12. The waiver wire is picked clean. Ugh. Guess will suffer through 100 pass yards from Smith.

 

[Imported]

Need a little help trying to decide who to drop. Non-PPR.

QB: Aaron Rodgers, Michael Vick
RB: C.J. Spiller, DeMarco Murray, Le'Veon Bell, Darren Sproles, Stevan Ridley
WR: Reggie Wayne, Josh Gordon, Pierre Garcon, Roddy White
TE: Martellus Bennett, Garrett Graham
DEF: Kansas City Chiefs

Top available pickups are: Percy Harvin, Keenan Allen, Justin Blackmon, Andre Ellington, Zac Stacy, Brandon Jacobs, Alshon Jeffery, Fred Jackson, Jordan Reed.

Plan on dropping Vick for Harvin, Graham for Reed. Thinking of dropping Roddy for either Allen or Blackmon. Maybe only keep 1TE and go with someone else? Thoughts? League doesn't really trade so won't be able to really go that route.

 

[AMDZen]

Any league with Fred Jackson on the waiver wire needs to quit fantasy football because they clearly fail at it.

If you have to ask if you should pick him up with CJ Spiller already on your roster (obvious hand cuff is obvious) you fail as well.

Vick, White and Graham are expendable with your roster of other people. I would offer White in trades to see if you have any takers. Matt Ryan has to throw the ball somewhere.

I would pick Allen and Blackmon. The Jaguars would be idiots to put Gabbert back in there. Although, they are the Jaguars.

If you want to pick up three, grab Harvin too.

Had Jackson and dropped him (for Bell) since he was just sitting on the bench. I'd rather pick up a starter than take a spot with a hand cuff. I'm also fairly certain I'd be able to pick him up in the event Spiller gets injured.

Yea, those three are the ones I'd consider expendable as well. Harvin, Allen and Blackmon. I'd love to get a top TE but no one has accepted or even countered on trades I've put out there.

It is Jacksonville. I have Rivers starting in two leagues this week.

See if you can pick up Charles Clay, Kyle Rudolph, perhaps even Greg Olsen for cheap with the upcoming bye weeks. Unless you're trading for Jimmy Graham trading away good assets for a TE is a waste IMHO.

Is Harvin available now of has to go through waivers? You could drop White now and pick up anyone that did not play this past week unless your league manager has changed that setting.

One could grab Douglas right now since Atlanta did not play this past weekend.

I usually drop people on Tuesday and just line up waiver choices.

 

[Imported]

He's on waivers so not able to pick up right now.

I've always wondered why people drop someone in advance of waiver wire. Is there some advantage? The only way I could see doing it is if I just absolutely don't want that player anymore, because if you don't get what you want on waiver, you're left with an empty spot.

Is there some advantage I'm missing?

 

[crownjules]

If Henne starts, MJD will get points. If Gabbert starts, MJD will be almost worthless.

He didn't go for the MJD for Allen trade and countered with DeAngelo instead.

 

[T2urtle]

Who are the must be name this week on the ww.

Keleen Allen and Percy are not out there. No packer wr showed me anything. I'm going after Jordon reed this week. Maybe pick up stegis the kicker back up. But looking for that guy with possible big upside.

RBs: Zac Stacy, Andre Ellington, Joseph Randle, Chris Ogbonnaya. Brandon Jacobs but keep an eye on his injury status, Michael Cox could start if Jacobs does not play. Chris Ivory could be an ok stash with Goodson out but his production will be very limited while Powell is starting.

WRS: Brandon LaFell, Rueben Randle, Harry Douglas, Jarrett Boykin, Riley Cooper. People may want to take a look at two hit wonder Eddie Royal due to the matchup.

TE: Joseph Fauria, Scott Chandler

You should try and trade him after another great week, if his value has taken a hit any way after one game. He was a top 10 RB before this last week

Spiller is not a top ten RB as of now and has not been for some time. Outside of his long TD run against Cleveland, he has not done much. Jackson has been top ten based upon production on the field. Maybe Spiller's injury is just nagging him still. If that is the case he needs to sit a little more than he would like. People I would rather have at RB for now:

AP
McCoy
Charles
Foster
Lynch
Forte
Moreno
Morris
D. Martin
Rice
Ridley
Gore
Lacy
R. Bush (maybe)

Yes, because I think if you have an empty slot you can submit more than 1 waiver. Whereas if you want to drop Player A and pick up B off waivers, you cannot queue up a second waiver for Player A (say, for Player C). Whereas with an open spot on the roster, you can Add Player B, if taken Add Player C, etc. The summary is when you don't have open slots on the roster, you have to choose a unique player on your bench for that unique waiver claim to replace.

 

[slayer202]

^I think that's incorrect

or maybe not. I don't think that's how it works with FAAB? idk, I haven't made any waiver claims

 

[Adrenaline]

He is correct for yahoo.

You can only request player A once. A second WW claim discarding the same person will override the first one.

On NFL.com you can do it however you want.
