seangj Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 It's nice to see them getting back into a rhythm. The fact that this is now a close game should help with the passing game too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 yes you did He has been exciting, so maybe? Rodgers in one league, Alex Smith (after Eli sucking and Hoyer and Cutler getting hurt) in another. Got him in both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 got 11 points from my kicker, kinda stoked on that! only good thing about the vikings, they kick a lot of field goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalinacaper Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Glad I picked up Reed last night, not crazy points but way better than Cameron has been getting me lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_jones Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Reed was a great replacement for Jordan Cameron for me. Gonna be hard moving forward to decide between the two. I would NOT start Rashad Jennings this week vs. my Giants. Giants have been awesome against the run game since we got Beason and Lindvall Joseph came back. Kept Jamaal Charles in check, shut down AD, shut down Shady McCoy.... just can't see Rashad doing much against them at all. Teams know they can throw on the Giants.

nivek87 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 so in my keeper league we are keeping 4 next year. its extremely early, but right now i would probably keep 1st - mccoy 2nd - rice 3rd - gordon 4th - a. brown i also have 2 5th picks, do i try really hard to trade ray rice and my extra 5th round pick or do you think he bounces back next season. the line will be a priority in the off-season it appears its his injured hip causing problems. do i just try to free myself of him asap i'm obviously looking at next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they fix the o line, he is not the same RB he was in the past. That injury seems to have taken its toll on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviolentworld Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 what is seattles situation?? i need a defense bad in my league. been playing the carousel and want to stop that. just wondering if trading a chris ivory for seattle would be worth it. i started with pittsburgh and dropped them and have been playing the waiver every week since.

littlebistro Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Which 2 do I sit? PPR. Antonio Brown vs Detroit Alshon Jeffrey vs Baltimore Demariyus Thomas vs Kansas City Riley Cooper vs Washington Larry Fitzgerald vs Jacksonville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_jones Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Which 2 do I sit? PPR. Antonio Brown vs Detroit Alshon Jeffrey vs Baltimore Demariyus Thomas vs Kansas City Riley Cooper vs Washington Larry Fitzgerald vs Jacksonville Great decision to have to make.. I'd probably sit Cooper and either Fitz or Alshon. PPR you can't sit Antonio Brown, dude leads the league in receptions. Demariyus can never be sat in my opinion. Cooper is the riskiest I think, then it's a toss up between Alshon and Fitz. Larry probably has the better matchup but either one is probably a good start.

paintedinexile Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I just got offered Larry Fitzgerald, Ryan Mathews, and Kenny Stills for Fred Jackson. Not sure if I should do that. EDIT: Nevemind, I'm not doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crime Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Not really advice, but a funny story. The other week in my league one of the guys near the bottom offered me a trade, AP for V. Cruz and my 1st round draft pick. After making sure he wasn't drunk and was okay with the trade I agreed to it in priciple. I even tacked on a RB to the trade as well. While this was happening we were just waiting on the commish of the league to finalize the trading draft picks process. He finalizes that so I go ahead and send the trade offer through that I had been offered. It sat on the table for a week and a half and the guy didn't accept. I e-mailed the guy a couple times asking about it and he never responded. Meanwhile he had made another trade with the guy who was in second place (I was in first). Without hearing anything back from him I said fuck it and took the trade offer off the table and moved on. Fast forward to yesterday. The guys in the league aren't that great with the internet and clearly don't know the difference between reply reply all. The team in 2nd place responded to a message that the guy I was supposed to make the trade with. He hit reply all. In his message he said "Aren't you glad I talked you out of that trade now. We don't want his team getting any better." Then the trade dude responded (again with reply all) "Yeah, if you need any players to get into first let me know." After seeing this I called them out for essentially cheating and called them petty and pathetic that they'd cheat at fantasy sports and quit. Within an hour 3 other people agreed with me and quit the league. Then last night the commish sent out an e-mail saying the league was done. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and turbobrando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 ^ A part of this is that no fantasy sports league should allow the trading of future draft picks for current players. It works best on a year-by-year system. Dudes get bored, they move away, they get into fights, leagues die...It's not like the NFL with permanent teams and billions on the line where guys actually think through the consequences of every move they make on the next decade. But that said, yeah -- bush league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I can't think of another reasonable excuse for someone to pull something like that. That's just ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 My league allowed Bilal Powell and Bernard Pierce for Calvin Johnson to go through this year. It was around week 2 or 3. Calvin was injured and Pierce/Powell had decent starts. Still retarded. The guy who gave up Calvin is retarded and knows nothing about football. He's one of our good friends so we keep him in the league. The reasoning for not vetoing was that some of the guys thought that the standard for vetoing trades is that "if there is no collusion, I won't veto. Trade rape is part of fantasy football and we aren't going to protect anyone". I see it differently, though. Veto is there to protect the league integrity, not the individual who made a stupid trade. Now I'm just hoping that the dude who picked up Calvin doesn't make the playoffs so it is kind of a "no harm, no foul" situation. If he wins the league, I'm not going to ask for my money back or anything but I am putting an asterisk next to it in the league record book.
