NFL Fantasy Thread

It's a 12 team league, so the pickings are pretty slim. Escobar is available, but he's not established enough for me to trust him as a starter at this point.

Jordan Reed is probably the best available option, but he's banged up, and RG3 is a fucking mystery right now, so who knows what to expect from the Redskins offense?

Coby Fleener is an interesting option though.

 
Yeah, I wouldn't trust Escobar to even get a catch (I should have said that). I was just basing that suggestion on him scoring a TD last week.

At the same time, the Bears corners are so good that Pettigrew, if he catches the damn ball, could have a solid game. It's hard to know what you're best option is once the elite guys are off the board, TE wise. 
 
With what you have leftover, I'd almost take a chance on Pettigrew since somebody other than Tillman or Jennings will be covering him.

 

[Pugz]

My only other option is Pettigrew. I'm fucked.

what a mistake.

 

[Hurricane Season]

I have two fantasy teams on ESPN and two on NFL.com.
 
I am 1-15 combined.

 

[Pugz]

that takes some serious skillz

I'm Foreign Oh

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

I don't usually ask so please help me here...
 
Vick vs. Giants
or
Kaepernick vs. Texans?
 
I'm like 70% sure on going Vick though...
 
Good idea?

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Kaepernick. Even though the Giants suck they could grab a pick or two on Vick and I think they've even knocked him out a few times in the past. Plus Houston has only 2 picks this year and that SF offense is so back and forth they could score either 3 points or 35 points on Houston. Both options are probably getting sacked twice minimum in that game either way. 
 
 
 
I got SF Defense vs Houston, yahoo projects them 7.5 pts. I jut picked up Kansas City, should I start 'em (6.75 projected)? I think KC beats that projection. Way our league is scored they got 76 pts this year vs San Fran with 27. I feel dumb asking this as I type it but I just want to know what you guys think -- with Johnson running average and Locker hurt I don't see KC giving up 22 pts which Yahoo predicts. 

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

You really think that the Giants are going to sack Vick twice?
 
Have they sacked anyone this season? I can barely remember

 

[Giantmetfan07]

only 4 sacks actually, lol. nevermind. I could still see Tuck & JPP going off at any point andi f they do go of Philly is most likely. 

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

Made this difficult, really was thinking Vick haha. 
 
I'll probably go with Kaep for rooting purposes too.

NEED THOUGHTS ASAP:
 
Trade Proposal (Proposed to Me, not by me)
 
I Get:
 
QB Peyton Manning
 
He Gets:
WR Julio Jones
RB DeMarco Murray
 
 
Quick Breakdown (lot of stats in our league including PPR, QBs get fraction points for completions, lose half of that for incompletions)
 
Player/Fantasy Pts So Far
Peyton Manning: 174
Julio Jones: 98
DeMarco Murray: 73
 
My Backups:
Philip Rivers: 128
Matt Forte (starter): 78
Daryl Richardson: 29 pts (sucks)
And then for WRs I got Edelman, Nicks, Jennings, DeAndre Jopkins, Amendola. 
 
I figure then I can move Rivers for a RB. Thoughts? Should I do it? Guy only wants to move Manning because he's got Spiller hurt & Doug Martin on Bye. 
 
The only reason I second guess moving them is it's a Keeper league. 
 

 

[Steez]

Is it a 6pt per TD league? If so, I'd do it. 

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

I'm sure you'll love to have to Have Peyton when he'll play Jacksonville and Oakland again.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

5 pt TDs. Also 4 pt bonus if a QB throws for over 400 yards. 

 

[Giantmetfan07]

yea I've gotta do this. I can flip Rivers for a good RB. 

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

But don't people have a good QBs already? Who will take Rivers and give you a good RB when the time comes?

 

[youngguru]

try to get his bench RB whoever it is and do it

 

[Giantmetfan07]

But don't people have a good QBs already? Who will take Rivers and give you a good RB when the time comes?

 
well let's see. One person has Sam Bradford as their best QB at like 80 pts so it'd be a 48 pt upgrade for that team, and he has Ray Rice. 
 
In fact right now, based on my league's scoring, Peyton Manning & Philip Rivers are the top 2 in points for QBs right now. It's actually a perfect opportunity to sell Rivers.

Oh so I'd try and give him Rivers there. Damn, how many team league is this?

 

[Giantmetfan07]

10. 
 
Used to be 12 but two years ago we kicked out two GMs because they weren't active anymore and now that we do Keepers it's kinda weird to add two new GMs and they'd be starting from scratch.
