[slayer202]

Hope you guys drafted Julio in your non atot leagues

 

[ghost recon88]

Dang, both Adrian Peterson and Donald Brown on my bench this week and both have TDs so far

 

[vi edit]

anyone know what happened to fred jackson? how bad did it look?

 

[Gunslinger08]

Stephen Hill worth picking up?

Took a pretty good hit, not sure if it was only his hip or his knee too. He looked alright after, I think he'll be ok. Maybe a bruise

Not sure I'd pick up a jets receiver

ESPN says Knee Injury - Sprained LCL.

Crushed it with one team, an ATOT 2 QB league with lots of positions and inflated QB scoring (0.5 points per completion but no points per reception). Matt Ryan had an insane day and Brees piled on garbage time stats.

My other ATOT team, not so much. Left a bunch of points on the bench and whiffed on the defense, but I did only lose by 5 points. Wasn't expecting Nate Washington or Randy Moss to have bigger days than Greg Jennings.

Yeah, in my ATOT league, Wes Welker and Greg Jennings combined for 4.8 points.

think I'm gonna pick up Spiller, even after Fred Jackson comes back I think he'll get the majority of the carries.

Looking to pick up another WR, thinking of pulling a trade for Marshall. Would I be getting ripped if I traded Stevie Johnson and Donald Brown for him? The guy I'm trading with has no good RB, and he has Fred Jackson who just got injured.

I have a bad feeling CJ2KLMNOP whatever the fuck his moniker is will be the ruin of my main league. Well, him and little Manning. Didn't like either pick when I made them and week one reinforces my skepticism.

should have taken mcfadden and matt ryan

 

[crownjules]

109 points with Torrey Smith still to go. Only non-double digit scorer was VJax. Should seal the deal for this week as my opponent has Janikowski only to play with 19+ points to catchup.

Spiller is a good pickup going forward (and was a good flex draft pick to start with going into the season) even if Freddie comes back. If you paid attention to the game, they split Spiller out wide on several plays and threw it to him a good bit - great pickup for PPR leagues in general considering Buffalo kept only 4.5 WRs going into the regular season on purpose anyway (Brad Smith is listed as their 3rd QB, but can be active on game days and play WR). Spiller's touches (PPR-wise) were planned on going up in the first place - this was by plan. And now you get a showcase of what he can do on the ground, even against a pretty decent DST.

As a side note, it looks like David Nelson (Buffalo slot WR) may be sidelined for an extended period, possibly the rest of the season. Buffalo will be activating a rookie WR (Tim Graham) to take his spot, but even so, that just means even MORE touches for Spiller if Freddie comes back sooner rather than later.

Both Freddie and Nelson are having MRI's today, hopefully by the end of the day we'll have a good idea on where to go with them. Either way, if Spiller is available... "duh".

Regarding the trade, Johnson has a lingering groin issue and you could visibly tell it was affecting him. Marshall would be an upgrade. As far as Brown goes, if you don't need him and you're set at RB, that's up to you.

Marshall is coming off a great game in which he was targeted constantly. Johnson was limited and has a nagging injury and Donald Brown is the no. 1 running back on a team that never runs the ball. I don't think anyone would go for that trade but if you can pull it off, do it.

For everyone in the ATOT auction league that laughed at my draft, it aint lookin too bad folks!

Don't know what league you're in that you can still "pick up" Spiller.
He was around rated 80-100 overall in pretty much every cheatsheet I've seen.
I hope "pick up" as in trade for him.
Don't know anyone would trade Marshall for Johnson and Brown.
If you can do it, more power to you.

 

[SunnyD]

Fred Jackson is out at least a month, David Nelson out for the season. (ESPN)

Spiller becomes #1 RB (for now), Tashard Choice is his backup/goal line vulture/3rd down back.

 

[JujuFish]

So, what are the odds Ogletree continues to do well? I have top waiver priority in my ATOT fantasy league and I'm wondering if it would be a bad idea to grab him.

 

[slayer202]

first rule of ATOT fantasy leagues: don't ask for advice on ATOT

 

[Aharami]

should I drop Leonard Hankerson and pick up Nate Burleson? Have Roddy White and Steve Smith as my WR starters, but need someone as a good backup

 

[monk3y]

Really need help on this one...

Jay Cutler vs GB
or
Matthew Stafford vs SF?

This would normally not be an issue but SF's defense is scarring me.

 

[NoCreativity]

Need some RB input.

I've got Ridley (NE) in a couple leagues. Need to decide if I should play him over a few others. My issue is that I have a feeling week 1 was an anomaly since NE hasn't relied much on running in the past. He's at home against Arizona this week

League 1
Chris Johnson @SD

League 2 (ATOT league)
Turner DEN
Reggie Bush OAK

I'm leaning towards going with him over Johnson and Turner. Johnson is really a wild card at this point and I've never been a big Turner fan, especially now that ATL seems to have a quality passing offense.

Cutler.

I would not start anyone playing against SF. 49ers DEF is just rabid.

Plus GB's DEF is actually weak, despite whatever 'upgrades' they supposedly made
