hey, slayer... i was right again on stuff. just sayin'...

 

[T2urtle]

So me and my opponent are a dead tie!!

I think I edge him out, I got Marshall vs his forte in a ppr. I'm hoping bush gets the TD punch in. Coin flip game.

you got some stuff right? oh wow where can I subscribe to your newsletter

I won't post everything you got wrong(I asked you to do this for me, because you said I am wrong on almost everything. still waiting), I'll just wait to laugh extra hard at how your trade ends up D: So far it's even though; kyle rudolph scored just as much as jimmy graham 😉

 

[AstroManLuca]

What are the chances of Stafford and Hanson (Lions kicker) scoring a combined 32 points? Lol

 

[Cal166]

Need combined Stafford, Robbie Cloud(K) and Chicago(D) for 29 points to Win.

need some D/ST matchup help. I have the Texans D. They are on BYE week 8. In anticipation, I picked up Broncos D who play Saints on week 8. But someone dropped Falcons D this week and they are a higher ranked D (Falconsare #4, Broncos are #6) and they go up against the Eagles on week 8.

Which D/ST do you think will score higher on week 8?
Broncos against the Saints?
or
Falcons against the Eagles?

Both will be coming fresh off a bye week this week.
Even though ESPN is ranking Falcons D over the Broncos D, NFL.com is saying otherwise.

Should I drop Broncos D and pick up Falcons?

Yea you're right. Scoring changes could change the W to L easily. I'll start pettigrew.

funny enough pettigrew fumbled twice tonight but they were not for losses.

it's absolute lunacy to start any defense against drew brees. Definitely pick up the falcons, mike vick is a human turnover.

 

[Aharami]

yea I agree. That's why I already set up Broncos for Falcons on the waivers (I'm already at the bottom of the waiver order)....but I have till tomorrow night to cancel.

Looking for some more opinions. Thanks!

whoa, where do you go to get that page?

 

[AstroManLuca]

Wow Stafford really screwed me over. I have him and Peyton. When I drafted I expected Stafford to be my every week guy with Peyton filling in for his bye and some matchups. Now that Peyton's bye is over I feel like Stafford is a waste of a roster spot. He's so terrible this year but I don't want to drop him and give him to someone else.

Been really enjoying this season, doing well at 5-2 till I walk into these guys this coming week.

He is the owner of the league and set the draft time an hour before he ran it so no one showed up "Because no one showed any interest". We ran this league for 4 years of course we were interested jerk.

Here I come 5-3 🙁 He is one of my current 2 losses as well and in my division.

 

[dougp]

I'm sorry but WTF - why would you stick around in that league after bullshit like that?

Because I like the other people in the league, and this is the first season in the history of the league I haven't lost my top 2 picks to injuries in the first couple weeks. Kinda fun to beat down on all my nonscumbag friends for once. It really is infuriating though and everyone is just shit talking him non stop every week.

 

[Doodoo]

WTF....how does that even happen....

I don't even know, you would think autodraft would have grabbed half of those players but apparently not.

Think I would have taken everybody else and formed a new league.

 

[crownjules]

Phew. Squeaked out a 1 point win this week when I had three major players on bye week. Thank you to VJax and the Texan D for having huge games and helping me overcome my opponent with Chris Johnson.

i'm always amazed by stories like this... how fantasy football can turn people into total pricks

from the league home page, you can scroll the bar with League, My Team, Players, Scoreboard... to the right to show more options, including Standings.

The graph for the Saints says it all. I was kind of disappointed in the lack of production for Mike Williams but still: Start any offensive player you have on the Broncos. That includes Peyton Manning, Willis McGahee, Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker at the very least. I would not be surprised to see good production out of both their tight ends (Tamme & Dressen) and Ronnie Hillman as well.

Defenses have been getting an average of 5 fantasy points per game and the trend has been heading downwards since the Saints have been improving. You can expect every game to be a shootout. Since Drew Brees will be passing like crazy every game the only real way you can expect points are from interceptions and the occasional sack.

That said, unless its a real deep league there is no real reason to gamble with any D/ST that's playing the Saints.
