I decided to trade Matt Forte, Julio Jones and a 5th round pick next year for Floyd, Brandon Oliver and a first rounder next year.

I've got Rodgers, Brady, Bradshaw, Maclin, Hinton and Bennett as my core and picked up Ingram on waivers this week. Also have the Dolphins D and even with Brady sitting on my bench, I scored 177 points. I'm beating my opponent by 112. Most of the teams in my league are below my current lead in total scoring.

What a week.

Also, after going 2-5 I changed my teams name to The Oilers of Fantasy Football, because I was no good.

Jordan Reed VS Jason Witten tomorrow night. I have Reed but could drop him for Witten.

What a crazy week. I'm up 100 points on my opponent who has Romo and Murray left. Think I'm safe. Gronk's touchdown party was fun to watch!

I am 2-5 right now and may lose this week depending on how much action Dan Bailey gets for my opponent. I have a 13 point lead and Bailey is projected at 7 points. If I lose I will have to become the Oilers.

I will be 2-6 after tonight, so I too have changed my name to the Edmonton Oilers. Not only am I 2-6, I am averaging by far the least amount of points/game...a full 300 points behind the league-leader.

Funny thing is I was really happy with my team after the draft, but I guess AP being AP, combined with Zac Stacy having a very poor season, never helps. Oh, and prematurely dropping Tom Brady as my QB2 with this week being my QB1s bye. Just a comedy of errors really.

Let's hope he goes 12 for 12...in point-afters.

(Let's go Cowboys)

I had/have some of the same problems.
AP was my #1 draft pick and Zac Stacy was my #3. I also had Percy Harvin in round 5 (but I dropped him after week 1.) The only good thing I have going is Aaron Rodgers.

MillerTime GFG · 10-27-2014, 03:50 PM

Ya I took AP 2nd overall, then picked Zac Stacy at #19 (snake draft). I didn't even start Stacy this week, so technically, my highest pick still in the lineup was taken #21 overall. Not going to find too much success like that. My RBs got a total of 3 points for me this week.

TY Hilton is my best player right now. Trying to get a RB in return for one of my WR's: Desean Jackson, James Jones, Alshon Jeffrey. I figure I can roll with TY and 1 of the 2 not taken in a prospective trade for the rest of the season and hope I miraculously get a turnaround and squeek in the ploffs.

One can dream...

I had to play Stacy this week because I only have him, Blount and Richardson. Richardson was hurt so I had to roll with the other two. I put in a waiver for Mark Ingram because of his numbers yesterday. Hopefully I can pick him up on Wednesday.

Did Ingram just get dropped? If not why wouldn't you own him over Blount? He has now had 3 huge weeks

DOOM · 10-27-2014, 08:42 PM

I need 3.12 points from Murray/Williams/Reed in the 4th quarter for a tie.

He was never picked up in my league until this upcoming week. As a Steelers fan I wanted Blount to play a bigger role in their offense. I had blind faith.

InBurkeWeTrust · 10-28-2014, 07:39 AM

Well I scored 149.56 and lost because of jackson and murray..mainly murray..

149.56 and lost to 151.50 FML

devo22 · 10-28-2014, 10:06 AM

had a pretty unspectacular week - my team scored a lot and my opponent was extremely weak. I'm 6-2 now.

now I'm running into a bit of a problem for week 9 at the RB and WR spots. Matt Forte and Jordy Nelson have byes, as well as Spiller (plus he's injured) and Green is still injured. That leaves me with Le'Veon Bell and Ben Tate at RB and Jeremy Maclin, DeSean Jackson and Michael Crabtree at WR. I'll have Bell, Tate and Maclin in the lineup in any case, but not sure if I should pick up a free agent or two to play with them. Available RBs would be Chris Ivory, Alfred Morris and Knile Davis, while at WR there's Malcom Floyd, Brandon LaFell and Andre Holmes. So should I pick up one of those guys or go with both Jackson and Crabtree?

Da_Chief · 10-28-2014, 11:31 AM

You should add Morris and run Bell and Morris at RB. Add LaFell at WR and go with Jax, Maclin and LaFell.

DOOM · 10-28-2014, 05:50 PM

I need to pick up a QB (with Rodgers being on his bye)

Top available guys (that are not on bye)

Flacco (at Steelers)
Tannehill (home to Chargers)
E Manning (home to Colts)
Dalton (home to Jaguars)
Fitzpatrick (home to Eagles)
Smith (home to Jets)

Sylvanfan · 10-28-2014, 07:13 PM

I would go Daulton and hope AJ Green plays.

Sylvanfan · 10-28-2014, 10:16 PM

I have been offered Marshawn Lynch and Golden Tate for Le'Veon Bell.

My team sucks big time as Bell and Ben Tate are my running backs....I literally have no one else. I also suck at receiver where I have Vincent Jackson, Mohammed Sanu, Greg Jennings, Torrey Smith, and Keenan Allen.

I think no as Tate may regress when megatron returns, and Seattle is going to hit a brutal stretch in their schedule.

Lesson here is auction drafts that you can't make it to suck.

Agree with Syl Dalton should do well. I also like Tannenhill too.

I would make that trade.

I lost last week 163 - 174. The 164 I posted was the 3rd highest total for the year in our league. Unfortunately the guy I was playing posted the highest so far. I'm 4-4 and I have scored the most points in the league but I keep going up against people that end up having their best weeks!! So frustrating sometimes.

I picked up Dalton on the waiver wire and hopefully I can start AJ Green this week. If those two go off I should have a good week.

The rest of lineup looks like this
LeSean McCoy
Le'Veon Bell
Antonio Brown
Brandon LaFell
Shane Vereen
Dolphins

My bench has Sammy Watkins, Percy Harvin and Jay Cutler.

I think I have a pretty good team, just need my opponents to behave!!
