Fantasy football

[rubecube]

Yesterday might have been the most ridiculous day of fantasy I've seen in a while, especially when it comes to QBs.

[devo22]

can't wait for playoffs! I'm up against a pretty good team and would appreciate some input from experienced players again. My team:

QB - Peyton Manning, Cam Newton
RB - Le'Veon Bell, Matt Forte, Alfred Morris, Darren Sproles, Ben Tate
WR - Jordy Nelson, Jeremy Maclin, A.J. Green, DeSean Jackson, Brandon LaFell
TE - Antonio Gates, Julius Thomas
D/ST - Dolphins
K - Dan Bailey

those in bold are guaranteed starters for my team. TE is a coin toss and also depends on Thomas' fitness. What I'm unsure about is how I'm going to line up on RB and WR. Forte or Morris as second RB? Or play both and go with 3 RB and 2 WR? I'm leaning against that though because Nelson, Maclin, Green, Jackson and LaFell have all been great. I know my team is pretty stacked and my WR depth is a nice problem to have, but nevertheless I want to go to the route that makes most sense.

by the way, here's the team I'm up against:

QB: Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson
RB: LeSean McCoy, Arian Foster, Lamar Miller, Denard Robinson, Steven Jackson
WR: Randall Cobb, Julius Jones, Kelvin Benjamin, Mike Evans, Odell Beckham Jr.
TE: Rob Gronkowski, Martellus Bennett
D/ST: Eagles
K: Steven Hauschka

thanks in advance!

EDIT: actually I've just picked up the Texans D/ST for the useless Tate. Probably a better option than the Dolphins this week.

Wow.. how many people are in your league? 6?

Whats the purpose of even playing in a league like this

3 round 1 adps,
multiple round 2 and 3 adps

[Da_Chief]

^He and his friends are new to football and fantasy football. They're trying it out. Let them enjoy it.

Go Manning, Bell, Forte, Nelson, AJ, Lafell, Thomas.

My office wanted to do a league this year and only 6 people were interested, so we ran with a 6 team league. Really it can be a bigger challenge because your bench guys do have a good shot at outscoring your starters many weeks.

Which kicker would you start...Justin Tucker against the Dolphins, or Mason Crosby against the Falcons? I think the Pack will score a lot of points...but it's only 8 points for the lonesome kicker as they roll up another 56-21 win. Whereas Tucker might have a chance to kick 5-6 field goals against the Dolphins.

[Fozzie_DeBear]

I have only one option in my playoffs...

Start 2..

Julio Jones
AJ Green
Josh Gordon

Last week...I benched Julio for Josh...and missed out on a career day. )*$#$ no matter which I pick...the stud will be on the bench.

Id go Jones/Gordon.

Both are going up against high scoring teams, Packers/Colts, so they might be playing from behind and throwing the ball more.

[rubecube]

I'd go Green/Gordon then Green/Jones. Pittsburgh's secondary is atrocious.

[DOOM]

So while Jennings is playing today, he is apparently going to be limited to passing downs.

What would you guys do?

My options (Had Jennings as my flex)

Denard Robinson, Mohamed Sanu, Martavis Bryant, John Brown, LeGarrette Blount or stick with Jennings.

[Sylvanfan]

Blount. He has the best chance to get touches.

[transplant99]

Hoyer or Big Ben?

[Montana Moe]

Leave it to my Saints to make me regret the decision to bench Cam Newton for Tannehill.

[Sylvanfan]

Thanks to LeVeon Bell I have a win wrapped up before Aaron Rogers even takes the field for me. I am lucky though, I have made some seriously stupid choices in that league. Week 4 dropped CJ Anderson....week 5 dropped St.Louis defence. Turned down OBJ for Mohammed Sanu.

I could have an unstoppable force in that league if my management didn't suck. My draft was better than I originally thought.

[DOOM]

In my regular league im the 8th seed (going up against the 1st seed)

Im up 110.28 to 63.70. I have Mason Crosby and Packers D left, he has Julio Jones and Matt Bryant.

Le'Veon Bell was huge for me yesterday, as was the Brady to Edelman long touchdown.



In my Keeper league im the 3rd seed, going up against the 6th seed. (Top 2 seeds got byes)

Im down 102.20 to 114.18. I have Aaron Rodgers and Julio Jones left to play, all his players have played.

Murray/Charles/Anderson were big for me combining for 75.7 points. Hopefully Rodgers and Jones can get me the win.

[rubecube]

I had a nice playoff week. Despite starting the Saints defense and Phil Rivers, I racked up 199 points thanks to AJ Green, Jordy Nelson, DeMarco Murray, and CJ Anderson. Next week could be interesting, as Green, Nelson, and Murray all have pretty tough match-ups, and I have no idea what to expect out of Rivers anymore. I'm debating grabbing Flacco off the waiver wire and starting him at home vs. the Jags.

[Bobblehead]

Julio Jones, on the road, in Lambeau?
Geez, I had better sit him this week.



And as the kicker, the guy I played had Matt Ryan.

[calgarygeologist]

I managed to squeeze into the 8th and final playoff spot in my pool. The quarterfinals were a big surprise. I managed to beat the first place team and the second and third placed teams also went down in defeat. It is now me against the 4th seeded team and the 6th and 7th placed teams in the other semi-final.

Cardinal rule of fantasy football: don't sit your studs.

[Displaced Flames fan]

Worst fantasy season ever. First round of the playoffs and Manning doesn't get in the end zone for the first time in over 3 seasons. It was nice of Julio Jones to tease me last night with his 37.40 points. I only needed 28 more out of him to win.
