2012 Fantasy Football Thread

I have honestly never seen a K/DEF trade in all the years I've played fantasy football. But I'd do that trade, I can't see the 49ers defense having many more down games.

That Giants situation reeks of a timeshare. Coughlin has a tendency to go with the hot-hand so even if Bradshaw is starting... I wouldn't be surprised to see him keep Brown involved. If you're feeling brave I'd actually start the Law Firm as he's got a pretty decent matchup vs the Jags.

I need to start one of the following as an RB2:
Doug Martin vs Washington
Michael Bush vs. Dallas
Andre Brown vs. Philly
Chris Johnson vs. Houston.

CJ2K is killing me (awful 2nd round pick) and I can't see him doing a thing against the Texans and that aforementioned NYG timeshare is sketchy. I'm leaning towards Martin vs the 'Skins as i'm not sure about Forte's health in Chicago (plus the Dallas defence seems to be tougher this year). Thoughts?

I wouldn't start CJ.5K against the Texans for obvious reasons. I don't trust the timeshare in New York so that takes Brown off the table. I'm fairly sure Forte is out this week so Bush will be getting almost all the carries. I heard somewhere that Martin isn't doing what they want him to so they might get Blount involved more. I'd go Bush or Martin but leaning towards Bush for right now

Yeah I've decided to go with the Law Firm after listening to a couple podcasts today. He had a lousy week last week which is the only reason I was even debating.

In your shoes I would go with Doug Martin. That Skins defence is a mess

So I got an trade offer I am thinking over...They want Jeremy Maclin and in return I would get Andrew Hawkins and Ryan Williams. I need some help at running back...
What do you guys think? Hawkins has put up some decent numbers...but I dont know if thats fluke or not..

[Cheerio]

Quick Question: who would you start at TE this week, Dennis Pitta against the Browns or Brandon Pettigrew against the Vikings?

Who are your other WRs/RBs? If Hawkins becomes a starter for you, that would not be a good deal.

Cheerio: Pitta.

Bad trade.

I'm so mad at myself for buying chris johnson in an auction. No clue why I did it. Hate the guy. Anyway I've been trying to trade him since and obviously not a lot of takers. Thoughts on comparable realistic trade values for him in RB/WR? He's still the starter that gets all the touches, but he's just useless and so is his O-Line. I realize his trade value is going to be low. I just want to know how low. This is a 16 team league so pretty much every teams #1 and 2 back have been drafted.

My league just had Chris Johnson traded for Marques Colston with a few other bench swaps. I saw it as fairly even. Colston has turned into a average #2 or great #3 receiver that produces extremely inconsistently the way Desean Jackson or Vincent Jackson do.

Big shout out to Dennis Pitta for his 0 receptions and 0.00 fantasy points this week!

The poor guy likely would have had another TD tonight if hadn't fell in the endzone in the third quarter on the Joe Flacco 1 yard run, as Joe Flacco was going to him but as I just pointed out he fell.

Same with me for Pettigrew

Man this one league I'm in RGMG. The commissioner had never set up an NFL fantasy league before so he had no idea how to do it & put in the weirdest settings. Can only start 2 WR's, only 5 bench players, & you need to play a starting D PLUS 2 indiv D players. The only reason I'm so into it is because he wanted to do a $40 buy in & my team's stacked.

The worst is the 2 WR's, didn't realize that on draft day & stocked up. Having to choose only 2 of Steve Smith (CAR), Demaryius Thomas, Stevie Johnson & Dwayne Bowe every week is such a headache, inevitably at least one of the benched guys goes off every week & outscores one of my starters. Serenity now!

The Chargers are assassinating my fantasy season. I have Gates, Rivers, and Mathews. Just brutal.

[Montana Moe]

Why did I not start James Jones vs. the horribad Saints defense?

[moon]

Not sure he would be on anyone's team but I hope nobody sat Hartline today!

[Montana Moe]

Hartline was on my opponent's team, and he played. 37+ points and a W for FlickeredFlames...

[Drake]

Julio Jones, Malcom Flyod, Doug Martin, and Dennis Pitta, can go #### themselves for their awesome weekends as they had 9.50 combined points. Not gonna to win with that kind of awesome production.
