and they already had the video previously, apparently...too bad bernard pierce did shit yesterday

I had Pierce for a bit last year. He just sucks. I was actually looking at Forsett for a bit knowing that Rice was out for a while.

My main team did well. Up 40+ pts, and my opponent only has J. Bell tonight. I'm down 7 in another league, with Stafford, Matthews, and Detroit D left. Opponent has Rivers, K. Allen, and V. Cruz though. We'll see how it goes.

On my main league me and another guy that were both graded 11 and 12th in draft rating are killing it in week 1. He picked up Houston D.

 

[T2urtle]

so Pierce and Forsett are on the wire in my league. Dont know who to shoot first. Who is everyone going for in the WW?


Also normal FF for my, my bench outdoes my starters. I played the right guys before hand tho. 3WR and a flex. I started Maclin, Cruz, Crabtree(4.5pts), Andre Johnson. Benched B.Cooks (22.5)and G.Jennings.(17.8) PPR league. I knew i shouldn't of gambled on Crabtree since he was game time, but it seemed smart.

Oh well, i'm up 20 going into monday, my RIVERS and CRUZ VS Golden tate.

Currently for week 2 Crabtree out, Cooks in.

Most of my teams laid an egg this week. Bench scored more in the auction league.. wtfbbq.

I have the highest scoring team (127.25 pts) in my 10 man league. Brees, A.Johnson, M.Floyd (still playing tonight), D.Murray, L.Bell, Z.Ertz, E.Decker, Matt Bryant, & TB defense. Next closest was at 113.9pts and they're done. Come get some.

12 man league I'll finish around 4th in scoring yet lose since my opponent had a career week. Them's the breaks.

Overall very pleased with this start to the season.

A lot of good players around. For RB's: Rainey, Ivory, Starks, Forsett, T.West, Bradshaw, Sproles. WRs: Kelvin Benjamin (yes someone dropped him), Jennings, J. Hunter, Wheaton, Boykin, Hawkins (PPR), S.Smith, Hopkins. TE: Jenkins, L.Green, T.Wright, Kelce.

I'm going for Rainey or Ivory or Starks, +Benjamin as well to replace Jeremy Hill and Kelce (both are not in their team's major gameplans just yet but have potential later in the season). Benjamin may be worth a waiver wire pickup, he was impressive against a very good Tampa secondary.

Will be nice when Josh Gordon isn't eating a hole in my 5 spot bench in the other league as well. Come on NFL/NFLPA and git'er done.

 

[KLin]

On one hand key pieces of the Cards run D are unavailable thus giving a boost to Mathews. But on the other, the Lions are playing the pitiful Giants so I think you're screwed facing Mega only up 9 and change.

Have Megatron in one, going against him in another. Oh joyous day.

 

[IAteYourMother]

I'm against Matt Stafford and CJ. fml

Interesting. Maybe my waiver wire blowing on Gordon won't hurt so bad now. I lose Rice, maybe get Gordon back.

That leaves me with Demarius Thomas, Julio Jones, and Josh Gordon for a WR1/WR2/and Flex position.

That should help make up for a desperate lack of depth at RB.

Forsett

Pierce is not good at all.

That's a tough loss. Anywho, what a terrific Monday night for me. Matt Stafford won me 1 game and Megatron led a comeback for me in another. I was down 45 with Megatron, Jennings and Detroit D left. Incredible. Won game 1 in all 3 leagues I'm. Its only 1 wk, but this is a great start.

 

[T2urtle]

Anyone seen the late game? How did rivers look? I might drop him since he plays Seattle for week 2. Pick up locker, Fitzpatrick or tanehill (dolphins guy).

Oddly enough everyone in my 12 man league is stashing 2-3 qb. No clue why they are doing that when u can only play 1qb. Other then to screw me.

 

[pete6032]

I'm in a 10-team league, any of these receivers worth picking up?

Currently have:
Brandon Marshall
Victor Cruz
Pierre Garcon
Jeremy Maclin

Available:
Anquan Boldin
Riley Cooper
Cecil Shorts
Marcus Wheaton
Allen Hurns
Devin Hester

With Eli throwing a bunch of INTs, I can't trust Cruz that much. I like Wheaton on your list. Ben threw to him twice in crunch time and caught both passes. He caught 6 of 7 targets. He plays opposite Antonio Brown who is fantastic.

 

[T2urtle]

U got clear cut #1 that should see 10targrts. Weakest being cruz , due to Eli. (I have cruz)

 

[Zee]

cruz is def the weakest. you could have megatron and he would suck with Eli

Not high on Cruz at all since Eli and his OLine looked terrible. Eli wasn't on the same page with his receivers for most of the night, they still don't have a grasp on the new offense. Ugh. With that said, I like Wheaton-Boldin-Hurns in that order. I would even start Wheaton over Cruz in non-PPR, Eli is a trainwreck. Boldin would be a good stash if Crabtree goes down, which could happen at any time since he's injury prone. Hurns had a week to remember and won't be replicating that, but he's the real deal (esp with Shorts' health as a big question mark).

Do not pick up Tanehill against the Bills, or Fitzpatrick.

You have a decent group other than Victor Cruz who's questionable this year. Maybe Cecil Short or Marcus Wheaton. Devin Hester if your league gives points for return yards, Allen Hurns could be a 1 game wonder, we'll see in the coming weeks how he pans out. Overall though, it's a coin toss. So much luck is involved in Fantasy Football.

9 p.m. conference call scheduled tonight with NFLPA reps to talk drug policy.

C'mon and pay out Josh Gordon PowerBall ticket...

Heh. Yeah I've already grabbed him in our Big Monies league. Have a waiver out for him in another and I'm 3rd on waiver out of 12 there.

I'm against it, mostly because I don't have a ticket.

Everything I read about Gordon and his problems in the past and current, he shouldn't be allowed to play. He didn't learn from last year?

But it might help having someone like welker on the bubble as well.

What's best case scenario? Miss 6 games or 2?

Only saw the first half but Rivers looked ok. He had some drops (Gates and Keenan Allen were 2 I saw) that really stalled drives. Benching Rivers against Seattle is logically sound.

Stashing 1 QB backup is a good move. They make up a big chunk of your points so it's better to prepare early than later. Although you can pull off QB streaming, it's nerve wracking and not for the faint of heart.

ESPN Cleveland said this morning that Gordon's reinstatement is "inevitable".
