dave_jones Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Played against someone who had Manning, and Julius Thomas. Got 26.5 points. I started Demaryius Thomas, and Keenan Allen. Got 25.4 points. While I'm glad Manning didn't play well, I still wish Demaryius would have gotten more than 8.5. I'm still debating on who to start at running back, and maybe tight end. Backs are Reggie Bush (vs Bal), Jackson and Spiller (vs Jax), Giovani Bernard (vs Pit), and Andre Brown (vs Sea). Leaning towards Bush (Should play. Wondering if he would have last week, had it not been in the snow. Plus he is a completely different person on the turf at home, and with it being a PPR league.) and Fred Jackson. I know Jacksonville has been playing a lot better as of late on defense, I still feel like Jackson should get into the end zone more likely than Spiller. Plus Jackson has been way more consistent, and more involved in the passing game. A lot of the "experts" I've seen rank Brown higher than everyone, except for maybe Bush, and I don't understand why. Seattle has one of the best defenses in the league, and while they may get burned for some yardage, they haven't allowed a rushing touchdown since week 7 I believe. I just think the Giants will be down to quickly to generate anything on the ground, and be forced to pass the rest of the game. So essentially it's between Jackson and Bernard. Both are in time shares, but both are more involved in the passing game. My gut is saying Jackson, but I don't know. Bernard burnt me last week on my bench, and I managed to win while Jackson gave me nothing. Bernard scored 20 points against Pittsburgh earlier this year with 65 combo yards, and a pair of scores. tl;dr - Should I start Fred Jackson, or Giovanni Bernard?

dave_jones Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Manning/Thomas owners all over the world are freaking out over that performance. oof Add Decker to that list. I had Prater against Peyton & Decker going last night. I'll take my K outscoring his WR2. Definitely feeling a little better about my chance of making the finals.

3arl Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 It's looking like Peterson and Gerhart are both out for the game today. So if anyone needs RB help, pick up Asiata off the wire. He's the only other running back on their active roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedinexile Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Wouldn't touch Asiata. You're better off picking up Todman or Ogbonnaya. Vikings are going to be down big and early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Andre Brown (agianst Seattle) Le'Veon Bell (against Cincinatti) Zac Stacy (against New Orleans) Shane Vereen (against Miami) Chris Johnson (against Tennessee) pick 2 (Vereen is in, since Gronk is out.) None of them have a good match-up though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintedinexile Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 We were without our top four cornerbacks, our top two running backs, and our top two tight ends. Why would I not think we'd lose? Besides, Asiata averaged less than 2 yards per carry. Didn't have a good game, aside from the three goal-line touchdowns.

Guest Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 charles is only on a playoff team in 1/3 of my leagues. kind of a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedinexile Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Huge question for everyone. I have an idea of which way I'm leaning, but want some opinions by others. I'm down 88 to 88.5 in my money league. Winner goes to the championship game. He has Antonio Brown left, and I have Reggie Bush and Dennis Pitta. Do I keep Bush in, or do I put Giovanni Bernard in?

seangj Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Gio is the sure bet. Bush may not play, or be limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I think bush is pretty safe to play, just not clear how the workload will be split Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I agree with playing it safe and going Gio though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedinexile Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I'm going with Bernard. Was my plan, but wanted to see what others thought. Seems like the safer bet. There's a chance Bush might not play, or re-aggravate his calf injury. Not to mention Cincy is playing for the 2 seed, and Pitts run defense isn't as good as Baltmore's.

paintedinexile Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I just need Pitta to get me 12 points. I'm confident he can get it done in a PPR league. We'll see though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoosen Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 even though I started Campbell over Cousins I still somehow won today. on to the championship game. can I make it back-to-back championships? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_jones Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Despite facing Jamal in a very high scoring league, I pulled out a victory by 1.2 points thanks to LeVeon. Wild week for me. Also made the championship in more more league thanks to Dez and Antonio Brown. Made the championship in 2 out of 3 leagues. Guaranteed at least $700 in winnings at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 As long as Reggie Bush doesn't drop 59 points tonight, I will be in the championship of my pay league. Sucks it's a winner take all, but I have somewhat of a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
