I'm getting killed this season in A league.

Hockey · 10-10-2011, 09:51 PM

Oh wow I ended up winning 91.50-90.50. I'm sorry nickerjones.

Sainters7 · 10-10-2011, 09:56 PM

Haha ugh what a tease, down by 50 going into tonight, Stafford & Megatron somehow brought me back to within 5 by halftime in the C league, thought I may surprisingly take er. That 88-yard run by Best late in the 3rd killed me, as not only was it more points being taken away from my D, but it also gave the Lions a 2 possession lead, meaning they would put away the airshow for the remainder.

Ah well, at least they made a game of it for me. You're never out of one with those 2. Man is CJ something to watch.

After watching the monday night game with the Bucs-Colts, I decided to keep Blount in for the game against SF, and later in the week I traded Roethlisberger for Freeman....the rest, well you know the rest.
Why do the gods hate me?

Anyone in the A-League need some WR help? I'm trying to get some help in the RB department.

Any of these guys are available:
White/Wallace/Smith(Car)/Washington/Mccluster

Let me know

Also, big

to girlysports for not adjusting her roster since the draft, but somehow managing to be 3-2

How someone can win by starting Romo, Gates, Hillis in week 5 remains one of the greatest fantasy mysteries

Hockey · 10-12-2011, 02:05 PM

Whoever plays me this week in the C league got me at a good time. It sounds like both Julio Jones and Blount are both out. Along with the byes I'm gonna have to find a free agent.

DropIt · 10-12-2011, 11:09 PM

Had a few trades proposed to me, wondering what some other opinions may be:

Julio Jones for Percy Harvin
And
Julio Jones, Peyton Hillis, Denarious Moore for Tim Hightower, Percy Harvin and Nate Burleson

SportsJunky · 10-13-2011, 06:28 AM

I like the second trade scenario. Julio Jones is a nice WR and is a better option than Harvin in terms of receptions. Hillis is the feature back in Cleveland while Hightower is more or less the passing down back now in Washington. I have dropped Burleson from my teams as Stafford seems to like to throw elsewhere this season.

DropIt · 10-13-2011, 07:17 AM

Its a PPR league too, so other then Jones' current injury he should be a better WR season long.

Just trying to find out if there is any major issue that I may be overlooking as I figured I'm upgrading in all facets.

Drake · 10-15-2011, 11:16 PM

James Starks or Ryan Torain as a flex starter these week vs. two very suspect run D's in St.Louis or Philadelphia. I'm leaning towards Ryan Torain.

Cheerio · 10-15-2011, 11:48 PM

Green-Ellis or Ryan Grant?

Sainters7 · 10-16-2011, 12:16 AM

Really struggling with this one, Hakeem Nicks or Stevie Johnson for the Bills/Giants game in Jersey? I'm leaning towards Johnson, but tough to bench Nicks after last week.

EDIT: Also pretty worried about starting an AJ-less Schaub @ Baltimore, but unfortunately my options are pretty limited. Blew up against them last year, but that game against Pittsburgh may have been a prelude to tomorrow. Pray for Mojo.

Ryan Torain for sure. Tim Hightower looks like he wont be playing, and if he is, he wont be seeing many snaps. Torain is all but a starting running back this week against an awful Philly defense.

I need to start 2 of these junk recievers due to my bye weeks:

Harry Douglas V Car
Mohammad Massaquio V Oak
Nate Burleson V SF

could also slot the third one into a flex spot, but I currently have Roy Helu there

Displaced Flames fan · 10-16-2011, 10:32 AM

Burleson for sure and I'd go with Massaquoi

BTW...Burleson is playing San Francisco not Chicago.

Sainters7 · 10-16-2011, 06:10 PM

Looks like another loss for me in the C league after a horrible day, but the only good thing I can say about that Bucs/Saints game is - barring a Brandon Marshall explosion tomorrow night - Josh Freeman is going to lead me to a win in my other league. Blecch...

EDIT: Wow, a surprising 23 point performance by the Bears D tonight suddenly has me in decent position to win my C league game after all, as long as Shonn Greene doesn't explode on the Dolphins tomorrow.

Cheerio · 10-16-2011, 07:31 PM

Looks like I'm gonna lose this week in the C league too, unless Harvin gets held off of the scoreboard for the rest of the game

Considering I need a big game from Harvin in the B league, I think you'll be fine.

Cheerio · 10-16-2011, 08:07 PM

... You can put it in the loss column
So who is everyone in the C league
Cheerios=Cheerio
CanucksRule=Hockey?
Cortez=?
The Fear Boners=Sainters7
CofRed_inOKC=nickerjones
Team Hesla=Hesla
Hanna Sniper=Hanna Sniper
Ravens=?
FKA=FKA
CofR=CofR

VO #23 · 10-17-2011, 12:10 PM

Alright, I have a trade Q for everyone:

I have been offered Mendenhall and S. Holmes for Jennings. My current RB/WR situation is thus:

RB: Peterson, F. Jones, Starks, Grant, Tate
WR: Wallace, Jennings, Lloyd, Branch, Floyd

I am seriously considering pulling the trigger - my RBs have been killing me lately, and Lloyd could be in for a resurgence under McDaniels in St. Louis.

Thoughts?

DropIt · 10-17-2011, 12:27 PM

Id be countering with something other then Jennings. Lloyd or Branch.

Mendenhall has been having a pretty rough season on top of that
