Is this the official 2013 Fantasy Football thread?

Good trade, assuming Gronk puts up big numbers immediately upon return. SJax doesn't have a great OL but there are a couple soft spots in the schedule and Roddy White may actually try to get healthy this week and not play.

The only way it wouldn't be a good trade is if you are currently depending on L.Miller and Allen as starters.

You traded 2 players that are hurt and who knows when they come back for

1 a bum in hillis, and Allen is average and Miller eh not fan of him..

 

[AstroManLuca]

hey guys, I have jimmy graham on a bye this week. should i trade keenan allen for greg olsen? if i trade keenan allen i'll have to start chris givens or pick someone else up

Nah man, you only need a one week rental at TE and Keenan Allen has tons of value going forward. He may very well be this year's 2012 Randall Cobb.

Pick up a guy like Jordan Reed or Garrett Graham to replace Givens.

 

[Chess]

This league only requires one WR to be played. I was looking to add Blackmon. I know, he shouldn't be there, but he is.

Is there any RB I have that I can drop for him? My WR are Wayne, Gordon and D. Thomas.

I picked up Stacy from waivers and started him he did well... he is a tough runner and worth adding IMO

smart man..... and agreed with this

I thought Stacy looked really good too. Tough match-up this week though so I still have him benched in the one league where I own him.

sorry, I was just clowning on the guy who offered me that trade

:thumbsup:

I'm in a horrible spot this week anyway so I'm not going to do anything drastic to try and fill my lineup

 

[SP33Demon]

Well, I just picked up Keenen Allen because I lost Cobb. I had been starting Miller but I'm pretty down on him.. so inconsistent and they keep running Daniel Thomas.

Rest of my lineup: Cam, Charles, McGahee (for now), Marshall, Gordon, Durham (for now).. This is a 14 team 0.5 ppr league. Obviously, if Jackson and Gronk come back healthy then I would reap the benefits. This is a risk I'm willing to take. I think Gronk will be back next week (maybe this week?)

Ok, so Allen was expendable looking at your roster. McGahee vs GB or Miller vs Buffalo? It's a wash, both will get stuffed this week so I wouldn't worry too much. However, McGahee has a very very tough schedule coming up so look for a replacement asap in case SJax doesn't return for awhile.

I also have SJax on my roster and I'm hoping for a week 9 return. That would give him almost 2 months for his hammy, but you never know with these things. I also have David Wilson and I'm about to pull the plug on him, he's wasting a valuable roster spot.

On this team I have:

A. Foster
J. Randle (until Murray comes back)
B. Powell (Goodson is done for the year and Ivory has had a hamstring issue)
G. Bernard
S. Jackson (I picked him up off waivers and his injury is looking like it is going to take even longer)
McFadden (injured yet again)

I am going to stick with Foster plus someone. My RBs seem ok. I am seeing if I should bother adding another WR.

 

[Kev]

Thoughts on this trade I just pulled off?

I get: Gronk, Steven Jackson
I give up: Lamar Miller, Keenen Allen, Peyton Hillis (lol?)

Big risk on your part. If Gronk and SJax can stay healthy you come out on top but thats a big if

 

[BudAshes]

I disagree. Boldin is in the top 20 in targets (#19), total yards (#17) and top 10 in YPRR (yds per route run). Calvin isn't even top 30 in YPPR (#31 - can't use him missing games as an excuse here), #30 in total yards (yes he missed a game), and #22 in targets (yes he missed a game). There are no disagreements that a healthy Calvin is money, but there should be agreement that Boldin's production this year has also been money. The only downside is that his production is feast or famine depending on whether SF wants to Gore the other team on the ground.

Outlining Boldin's uneven production:
Week
1) Green Bay, strong run D, weak secondary, start him. = 26.8 pts.
2) Seattle, strong run D AND secondary, bench him. = 0.70 pts
3) Indy, average run D, weak secondary, start him. = 6.70 pts
4) StL, horrible run D, above average secondary, defense is in bottom third, autostart. = 15.00 pts
5) Houston, average run D, weak secondary, start him. = 2.10 pts
6) AZ, above average run d, weak secondary, start him. = 2.80 pts
It will be interesting to see if he blows up against another strong run D, but we won't see that until Week 14 vs Seattle, and unfortunately they have the Legion of Boom so you bench him. AZ was a big test, but SF's OL won that battle handily and Boldin wasn't needed as much as we thought. So his production will remain unpredictable.

So you disagree with what I say and then completely ignore it in your response. Way to waste a lot of words. Stats to you are like a 12 year old with a Ferrari, yeah they are really cool, but they are useless to you right now because you don't know how to use them.

you say this, then post his fantasy numbers where he had double digit fantasy points twice in 6 games

 

[ghost recon88]

Which WR?

Floyd vs. Seattle
Hopkins vs. KC

Don't like the Seattle DEF against the ARZ offense, however the QB situation in Houston is hairy at best.

Case is gonna be throwing the ball.. he throws like 50 times a game... so id go hopkins....

Is Flowers still out for KC ?

Why not not start Randle ? He is getting the carries..... Gio is good though but he splits... SJax I wouldnt touch with a 10 foot pole

He looked good.... I have Lynch and then literally no one so Stacy will get the bulk...lol

 

[Adrenaline]

I am starting Randle.

Should I drop S. Jackson then? I picked him up off the WW and was seriously hoping he would be back this week.

Foster will rush the football. I heard stat the other day, he has more rushing yards than all but 6 NFL teams.

Yes, I know nothing about advanced stats other than the fact that Boldin is top 20 in almost every category of receiving yet you would bench him like a fool. Only idiots would bench Boldin in any game other than Seattle/top 5 secondaries. If Boldin sucks so much, then unload him.

To the other idiot who thinks receivers should post double digits every single game, count how many double digit games that Calvin Johnson has had. That's what I thought.

Boldin SUCKS

wr3 at best

DMC will probably be fine after the bye week with as much as he played last week. Now might be the time to flip any of DMC/Powell/Jackson/Randle in a trade for a receiver. Bernard is your best bet out of that group, even with a tough schedule the Bengals have good run blocking (6th so far) so Bernard should perform.

Flowers didn't play last game, who knows. It won't matter, do not pick up Hopkins. You are about to see an anal raping take place on Sunday with Houston's shitty shitty 2nd to last Pass Blocking OL vs the top Pass Rushing team. Get your popcorn out and enjoy every pass attempt.

 

[dbk]

Shonne Greene coming back gonna get like 10-15 touches.. prob some goal line work as well

I just read on rotoworld that Jackson may not be back until November. I dropped him and grabbed a WR.

 

[KeithTalent]

Man, I just can't decide whether to put Fitzgerald in tonight or go with T.Y. on Sunday. Fitz did practice fully yesterday, but he's also playing the Seahawks who he has historically not done that well against.

Hilton will be at home and they are going to have to throw against Denver, so I'm leaning towards him. :hmm:

Fitzgerald might be a safer play for a modest amount of points, but there is a ton of upside playing Hilton if you need to make up a point differential in favor of your opponent. Hilton is better at home, so if I had to make a choice myself I would probably go with him. It's entirely possible he's a bust, though, just not that consistent yet.

EDIT: Forgot Fitzgerald is playing in Thursday game. Yeah, go with Hilton. Always better to roll with the players and teams having a full week of rest.
