I'm getting crushed by a guy who benched Cam Newton for Flacco. Dude is looking like a genius.

actyper

lol it's like were playing the same guy. Exact same, benched newton playing Flacco.

That was a nerve wracking win. Was up 27 points while having to fade his SF kicker/defense. Pick 6 at the end brought him to within 1.2 points and then had to sweat Davis hurling it downfield for the last 50 seconds of the game. All good though. Now 5-1.

I had to play the dude that had Flacco as back up to Drew Brees who was on a bye. Incidentally my team name is Flacco Seagulls. Obv Flacco goes off for 44 pts. Luckily I have Cam Newton and he reels off 39 for me and with a nice 22 pt performance from Demarco Murray I go to 6-1.

Just traded Kap (3) and Ryan (4) for Rivers (6) and Russ Wilson (4). 2qb keeper league with draft rounds in brackets. Was so high on Ryan but his oline has gone to shit.

I don't know much about strategy for keeper leagues but I think you definitely win the trade for this season anyway.

Omg! The Kristy Running Back curse of 2014 continues with Knowshon's torn ACL after premature return from elbow.

So far from my original draft:
Ray Rice/sspd
Ball O/groin
Danny woodhead IR
Knowshon

Sankey underperforming
Cj Anderson dropped week 2

And Forte. If you have him… You should probably trade him now before the curse gets him too

Team as currently constructed:

QB - Romo
QB - Roethlisberger
RB - Murray
RB - Lacy
WR - Jeffery
WR - Tate
TE - Thomas
Flex - Garcon
DST - Lions
Kicker - Crosby

Bench: Cousins, Locker, Randle, Buffalo D

Trade I'm entertaining: Locker/Buffalo/Tate for Megatron/Ingram

Obviously dropping Cousins for whoever I can grab off waivers.

actyper

Thats a steal if you get that

Dumb question:
I got my first tie last night, in a very tight league. Presuming that no one else ties… Will I then be in a category alone with my oppt. as far as points for/points against go, or am I still competing against all those with the same number of wins?

I just got slaughtered for the first three weeks… With injuries and over projections/under performances… it was truly dismal.
I have recovered now and have a team that I feel really good about… the tie was against the only guy who's not stuck in the 3/4--4/3 middle with ~7 of us, but I am damn near lowest in the league PF, overall.

If I win next week as I should, and ties set me apart, I will be 3 or 4 in standings.
If only wins matter I will be back of the pack, and still have a much more uphill battle on account of Points For.

Written pre-coffee..I hope that makes sense?

I would think a tie would be worth more than a loss. So if you went 7-5-1 and someone went 7-6, you would be ahead of them in ranking.

That other trade fell through. Just traded Tate/Lacy for Forsett/Benjamin. Picked up Decker for Cousins.

This is an excellent trade. Lacy needs volume and in committee he doesn't get it enough. Benjamin has serious upside and - importantly - has great matchups in the fantasy playoff weeks.

Decker was on your waiver wire? What's wrong with the other owners in your league?

Yeah, from what I see, Lacy losing touches while Forsett getting more. Tate's value goes down with Megatron back. Benjamin/Forsett have better playoff schedules. I'm pretty much a lock for playoffs now so just trying to build a roster for playoffs. The next think I'm looking to do is somehow trade Jeffery and upgrade my WR1 spot.

Decker was dropped a couple of weeks ago but I don't think it's that big of a deal. 10 team league with 2rb, 2 wr and a flex. I picked him up because I need a wr for my week 9 byes. Unless he crushes the next two weeks, I'll probably drop him in week 10.

Main trade I'm trying to set up is Jeffery for Josh Gordon to an owner who's 3-4 and has two tough match-ups this week and next week. Don't know if this is too risky or not.

Yeah, I edited my original post there already because I reconsidered my position. He's a good WR but with his injury this year he was definitely only borderline startable. Especially in a 10 teamer. My league is 12 teams and I've got him on my bench, I'll be needing him week 9 too but haven't played him much.

I think it IS very risky, especially because Cleveland is very run-first on offense, and we're talking about a guy who hasn't played all year. But I still think it would be a good move for the playoffs. Gordon is a free agent in my league, I think you've inspired me to pick him up.

T8urmoney

any other idiots leave Roethlesberger on the bench?

Big Mike

I don't own him, but I don't blame anyone who didn't start him. Colts Defense has been pretty good and Ben hadn't been producing the past few games.
