Fantasy football

[InSutterWeTrust]

I won a semi-final last night to go to the finals, I won by 1 point.
Going into last nights game I was down by 18 points, I had Stafford and Torrey Smith to play, thought this would be easy win for me. I didn't think Stafford was going to be that brutal. Before the final Stafford INT, I was winning 131 to 128, the INT brought it down to 129-128 for me. I'm lucky since Stafford, Alfred Morris and Jimmy Graham had such a poor week.

Thank you all for the great advice i have advanced in my 16 team pool so i have another near impossible decision for you to weigh:

I have Tom brady up against Baltimore
and Kirk Cousins up against Dallas.

My number one rule is never bench your stars but brady always sucks vs baltimore and their defense is good while cousins gets the easiest matchup in fantasy vs dallas as they give the most points to fantasy qbs

Do i bench brady on the road for cousins at home? I just cant figure it out

Also I have Colston vs Panthers and Bowe vs Colts need to pick one.

All help and opinions are truly welcome and appreciated guys!

Cousins, Dallas D gives up the most fantasy pts to qb's. Just hope they don't Eagle you. Might want to check the waiver wire. I go Colston against Panthers too after he had a solid game against them 2 weeks ago (on the road this time though)

Good luck

For myself it's off to the finals against a team that has
Manning, Decker and Charles. Sounds funny but Houston D might be able to contain the Denver passing game so it's charles i'm most concerned about.

Either way some good coin in my pocket either 1st or 2nd

I think I get the award for worst fantasy advice of the year

[Papi34]

Alright guys pick two

Adrian Peterson vs Cincy
Zac Stacy vs Tbay
Shane Vereen vs Balt
Jordan Todman Vs Tenne

Adrian obviously isnt guaranteed to play but if he does he is in
Stacy has a crazy tough matchup vs tbay (only 2 rushing tds allowed on the season)
Vereen is pretty hit or miss after putting up 2 points last week for me
Todman was a beast last week and has a great matchup but only if MJD is out

I'm in the finals against last year's defending champion and it's looking pretty good for me. I think I have the much better team, so it's just a matter of all my players executing.

QB: Pick 2, Roethlisberger, Tannehill, Flacco. Right now I have Roethlisberger and Tannehill in.

RB: LeSean McCoy and Jamaal Charles

WR: Calvin Johnson, Torrey Smith, Demaryius Thomas

TE: Jimmy Graham

Flex: Pick 1, Giovanni Bernard or Ryan Mathews - Leaning toward Mathews he has been great lately.

K: Nick Folk - I think he will have a big week against Cleveland

DEF: Pick 1: Jaguars or Bears - Probably start the Jags D. There are a few options to pick up as well - BUF, TB, MIA, IND, CLE, NO, TEN, GB.

Any advice would be appreciated.

With your running backs, TE and wr I don't think your decisions between qb's is difficult or your D will be the factor that loses you the game

That being said your qb situation is the best it can be. I'd start Mathews and ride the guy that's been putting up pts and against Oak D at home with much better weather.

Your D, don't play the Bears D! Jags aren't bad but aren't gonna get you the int's or fumbles. I like cleveland D against the jets personally.

I have a QB dilemma this week.

Brady in Baltimore against the Ravens.....or Newton at home against the Saints?

This is pretty much Newton's second chance in a real meaningful game to do something which he didn't really do two weeks ago, but still put up 17 points in a bad game. So at home maybe he can do better. I just don't like that Brady matchup against Baltimore without Gronkowski.

Miami has been a pretty good defence of late too. Them against a rookie QB in Manual I like better than Jacksonville.

[malcolmk14]

I picked up Miami's D.

Ravens D is a pretty good pass D. I think you have to go with Newton at home against a Saints team that has been less then spectacular on the road. Newton also gives you the potential of those valuable rushing yards and TD's

How even....?

I'd go with Fins D and Tannehill and Roethlisberger at QB

has to be an 8 league team or something. that is ridiculous

[malcolmk14]

10-team league. I drafted Charles, McCoy and Graham, and traded for Calvin.

Gonna be a good finish!

[return to the red]

Manning, Decker and Charles killed me in the finals oh and Carpenter putting up 14 pts as a kicker didnt help either

[FlamesKickAss]

Down by 12 with kaepernick and Dawson, opponent is out of players.... In the c league finals

A catalogue of disasters for me in the A-league championship against Sportsjunky:

- once again this year, trying to be clever by bringing in ringers for the playoffs backfired as much they were outperformed by my regular-season stalwarts on the bench:

Replacing Donald Brown with Dennis Johnson at RB2 cost me 19pts
Replacing Adam Vinatieri with Ryan Succop at K cost me 11pts thanks to the latter's goose egg
Replacing the 49ers defence remains to be seen but Detroit didn't overwhelm

- Some of my go-to guys let me down: Megatron, Cam Newton, DeSean Jackson, Jason Witten

Luckily Sportsjunky has also underperformed so I still have a slight chance of winning my first championship if Phil Dawson somehow kicks four points or less against the leakiest kick defence (if such a term exists) in the NFL. Not likely though.

At least it is exciting that the A-league championship boils down to one kicker though.

[Muffins]

Down by 4.5 points in my final with Dawson still to go against V. Davis.......not liking my chances.

[InSutterWeTrust]

Matt Stafford was my QB all season. Dalton was on the waiver, so I picked him up and wow glad I made that decision. I'm in the championship up by 44 points and he has Kaepernick and Crabtree to play tonight. Its going to be a close one!
