Anybody else starting the season 0-2? Didn't set my lineup last week, got crushed thanks to starting Cam Newton (IA last week) while Matt Ryan rode my bench (30+ points thanks to career day).

This week manage to set my lineup, feeling good heading into the day, and right now I'm currently losing by 55 points. Seahawks D blessed me with a solid 0, thanks to losing to the Chargers. AJ Green blessed me with another 0, thanks to his turf toe injury. Started Matt Ryan, who gave me 10 points, over Cam Newton, who had 20 on the bench. Started Roddy White and Brandon Cooks, who combined to score 9 points. Waiting on LeSean McCoy and Dwayne Allen to play tomorrow before I confirm the loss.

I feel like rage quitting right now, especially since my matchup this week is against my coworker who is undoubtedly going to annoy the shit out of me for the 50 hours I have to sit next to him next week. I picked up Josh Gordon thinking it would be a steal once his suspension is reduced, thought 8 games was harsh and it turns out it was only reduced to 10. What's the point of having him for <6 games, especially with the Browns qb situation? Idk that it's worth wasting a roster spot for the next 8 weeks for.

Re: Fantasy Football 2014 Thread
 

It sounds like you have a solid team actually, just a bad week. Hang in there bud. There are a lot of good players to pick up this week as well to help your team.

So Tampa gave up 56 points but ended with 15 fantasy points. Cute trick if you can do it

Yea...and I played against Julio Jones in one of my leagues Peyton Morris and Asiata have to help me catch up. I'm not hopeful though.

Re: Fantasy Football 2014 Thread
 

I am in a quandary here at QB. I have Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, and now Cousins as QBs. Wilson is on bye. Should I gamble with Cousins? NFL.com is projecting Rodgers to have a big day against da Bears, but I don't see it. The Pack offense sucks right now.

Re: Fantasy Football 2014 Thread
 

I'm starting Foles over Stafford after benching Foles last week in favor of Stafford. You're welcome Redskins. Every player I started last week had their lowest totals of the season and I played the person with the highest of EVERY SINGLE CATEGORY except defense.

RAGE QUITSSSSSSSS.

Yeah, my gut says go with Kirk, just worried about some crazy jinx. If Djax is in, Kirk will have all the weapons he needs.

Re: Fantasy Football 2014 Thread
 

someone tell me if that's a good trade for me ^ up there.

Re: Fantasy Football 2014 Thread
 

which side of these 2 trades would you rather be on?

1.
jimmy graham, ryan mathews, and bernard pierce
or
gronk, sea d/st, and brandin cooks

2.
matt ryan
or
martellus bennett

current roster:
qb: newton, dalton (2)
rb: forte, f. jackson, bradshaw, t. west (4)
wr: bryant, cobb, a. hawkins, cooks (4)
te: gronk, bennett, allen (3)
d/st: chargers, seahawks (2)
k: gostkowski (1)

roster if i accept both trades:
qb: newton, ryan, dalton (3)
rb: forte, f. jackson, bradshaw, mathews (4)
wr: bryant, cobb, a. hawkins, *sanu [I]drop bernard pierce[/I] (4)
te: graham, allen (2)
d/st: chargers, *bears [I]drop t. west[/I] (2)
k: gostkowski (1)

then probably try to trade dalton or newton for a decent wr. help!

Re: Fantasy Football 2014 Thread
 

i accepted both of those trades, dropped t. west for bears d/st; plan to drop pierce for sanu.

i offered a guy cam newton for desean jackson, fair?

that'd leave me w ryan and dalton at qb...

Need opinions! 20 Team PPR

I have Jordan Reed, need someone to fill in. Waivers are thin, best options are Levine Toilolo (ATL) or Cumberland (NYJ).

Two trades I'm considering:
Jeremy Kurley for Owen Daniels
Jeremy Kurley for Niles Paul

My other receivers are Jeremy Maclin, Vincent Jackson, Deandre Hopkins, Allen Robinson

Owen Daniels has more year-long stand alone value with Pitta done for the year, Niles Paul is a great handcuff. Thoughts?

If that's the best QB for WR swap you can find then i'd do it. I like Ryan as a fantasy QB, Dalton is a solid backup in standard leagues. If your league gives 4 pts for passing TD's then I'd be more even more likely to trade Newton. You could use a third receiver.

I am sorry for your impending loss. GL dude. I traded Niles Paul for Eddie Lacy a couple days ago, Lacy has stunk so far but last year he got off to a slow start too. We'll see if it works out. 0-3 so far, if I go 0-4 or 0-5 I might just have a firesale.

Don't worry bud, I drank the Cousins Kool Aid myself, but still got a great game from the rest of my team and won. I dropped him and Paul for the Giants TE and Owen Daniels. I am not touching any Redskin at this point. And I don't think Jordan Reed is going to last a month without getting hurt again.

Re: Fantasy Football 2014 Thread
 

[quote=Chico23231;1086845]Romo or cutler?[/quote]

Romo for sure this season. Sure he has his bad games, but this year their offense seems to be hitting on all cylinders. It will be a disgrace for us to get swept by them, but at this point I see it happening.

See if you can pick up Jocquie Bell from the Lions. He is producing a bit better than Lacy and might be the only starter that you can get on waivers.

I thought Reggie Bush was the starter?

Either way, I'm 0-4 now. Had my highest scoring game of the season last week, scored 77 points, but lost by 2 points. Put in the Bears defense and they scored -1.5 lol.

Re: Fantasy Football 2014 Thread

Cutler, because the Cowpukes have become a run first team.

Nice, congrats. Idk if it's just me but it feels like FF has been flipped on its' head this year, there's a lot of big names that aren't performing.

Re: Fantasy Football 2014 Thread
 

it is a strange start to the season, i feel lucky to not have a losing team at this point.

cam newton + ahmad bradshaw + fred jackson + golden tate

He will be for this Sunday since Bell got a concussion. I am saying for the long haul. Bell is worthless for week 5. But Bell was the main back, with Reggie getting a lot of carries. Too much duos in the NFL anymore.

I would think Newton/Bradshaw/FJ/GT has more upside, only player I trust in the former lineup would be Jamaal Charles.

Re: Fantasy Football 2014 Thread
 

[quote=los panda;1087247]moobs, what's your roster looking like?[/quote]

QB: Matt Ryan
RB1: LeSean McCoy
RB2: Eddie Lacy
WR1: AJ Green
WR2: Brian Quick
TE: Jordan Cameron
Flex: Brandin Cooks
K: Dan Carpenter
D: Eagles

Bench:
Cam Newton
Chris Ivory
Julian Edelman
Frank Gore
TY Hilton
Reggie Wayne
Roddy White
Travis Kelce

I'm thinking about benching McCoy for Gore this week. Last two weeks McCoy has scored 1 and 2 points, and Gore had a huge game on the bench last week. McCoy has STL and Frank Gore has KC. STL isn't giving up a lot of points to RB's whereas KC's d is letting opposing runners average 5.5 ypc.

Re: Fantasy Football 2014 Thread
 

So I picked up both Minnesota RBs, started them last night. Sigh.

Anyone want me to pick up and start someone so you'll win? I just acquired ALL Broncos WRs and am starting them all this week. Not sure if that's a smart move or dumb move, but I basically just ensured that Peyton Manning gets hurt.

Re: Fantasy Football 2014 Thread
 

And mooby, don't worry. The person I'm playing has Lesean McCoy, so I am personally guaranteeing he goes OFF this week.

How the hell did you get that kind of team? You are loaded. How big is your league? Even for the standard 12 team league, you have a ton of talent!!!!!!!

If McCoy goes off (and I win :D) I will send you a sixer of your favorite non-expensive beer. I don't want to say I'm desperate (but I am totally desperate).
