Aiming for Week 9 after their BYE

should have phrased that differently. no free help in our league

fish u really didnt want andre williams did you

i dont get why you spent 40 for him just last week then turn around and sell him for freaking cecil shorts. no way that was the best return you could have gotten. and I carried shorts on my roster for 4 weeks while he battled injuries so its not like i dont like the guy.

for starters, no i never wanted Williams.  i didn't think I was going to be able to get both Hillman and Williams last week but I did.  once I got Hillman, Williams was useless and trust me I tried trading him last week.  I wanted to do a Williams/Hopkins combo and get an upgrade at WR but nobody was biting.  once the philly game happened and he got like 50 yards his value dropped even more and with him on a bye after the dallas game plus Jennings coming back almost nobody would give me anything I could use for basically a 1 week play. 

for this week I have maclin on a bye and 3 rb's going already (Hillman, foster, lacy) so Williams would have been on the bench again so yes shorts was the best option available esp considering the jags passing game is a hell of a lot better with bortyles and shorts gets the majority of the targets so I think he's a good 1 week fill in esp for a guy who would probably not play for my team.

obviously I over paid for Williams last week but in our league when a starting RB/#1 WR comes around you have to over pay.  the way I look at it, lets say I didn't get him last week and instead I just got shorts this week I still probably would of had to put 15-20 on him so I ended up losing like 20 waiver wire points overall. but lets be serious at this point in the year my team is set unless I have a major injury to maclin or Thomas and I doubt that anyone important is going to pop out of nowhere where I'm going to need the extra points, but we'll see if it costs me.

yea I would do that, I always like to have strong rb's

What happens if you put $$ in, does it order it?

because its doent work like that. i did add them in the order i want but now its totally random.

adding $$ i dont have doesnt work either. wtf thats a pretty serious glitch that u cant order them. esp when i am trying to drop the same player for all 3.

I gave you 1 point for the time being and I emailed NFL.com support group to figure out a better answer so hopefully I hear back soon.

haha im surprised dixon cleared waivers (although joe picked him up right after). i was pumped that the pats D was dropeed then I looked at their schedule...

Chi
Denver
Bye
Indy
Det
GB
San Diego


Forget fantasy, that is a brutal schedule for the team as a whole. they could lose every one of those games and come out of week 14 5-8... im sure it wont happen but man thats a brutal schedule.

yes theyre playing much better but all im saying is i wouldnt bet on the pats in any of those games. those may be 5 of the best 7 teams in the league (not counting chi)

anyone want to get into dannys mind and take a guess on what he is doing?

his 2nd RB and even Flex spot is currently between:

Blount

Pierce

CJ Anderson

Shone Greene

and he currently has 53 points left (3rd most in the league) and with the chance to get a starting RB out of tre mason or Bryce brown he gets outbidded for both. 

SMH and I thought he was the preseason favorite!

haha that's pretty funny esp considering out of all the true fans we have in our league I view him as the least die hard.  don't get me wrong I know he loves the dolphins but I remember in college I would go to batemens to watch the eagles whenever they weren't on tv or basically do whatever I could and I know he never moved from his room unless the phins were on national tv.  maybe that has changed since he is living on his own and has the ticket now but I doubt it.

I texted him and he said he didn't bid for either of them because they both aren't starters and he was fine with legarrt blount who had 20+ points a few times this year. 

he might be right about bryce brown with Dixon there (although he probably will eventually start) but I don't see how he can say mason isn't a starting rb with him getting almost 20 carries last week and stacy/Cunningham barley touching the ball. 

also, the whole start a backup who might get lucky and have a huge game might work for a WR or someone in your flex spot, but you can't do that for your #2 rb.  its way too risky and a majority of the time those RB's put up les than 3 points.

"Blount has gone over 20 twice this year"

direct text from danny.

and I agree which is why I went HAM on Hillman and Williams a few weeks ago.  went 1-2 with a strike out and a home run

you know whats also hilarious now that i think about it. i offered him crowell for his backup defense and he turned me down. that week against pitt crowell scored 12 points.

i was nervous about letting crowell go cause of his potential esp if tate gets hurt. its a freaking backup defense. glad that didnt happen

was that trade real?

its funny he went from offering me calvin Johnson and juluis for demayrus and delaine walker which I was so close to taking but was scared off because I'm in 1st place and would be killing myself if I did this trade and it back fired and I screwed my season.  if I were in 3rd or 4th place, then I most likely would have taken his offer but a few other factors other than the obvious calvin injury risk, here were some other factors for why I said no:

- calvin might not play this week then has a bye next week where Thomas had his bye already so that is 2 potential games I would miss out on

- juluis Thomas is killing points wise in fantasy but that is only cuz of td's, yardage wise he hasn't broken 70 yards since week 1.  if the td's stop is he really that much different than what I have in allen/walker?  I say (hopefully) no.

- I really don't wanna wake up at 9am on sunday to see if calvin is active or not haha

with that said, josh u got the better in this deal IMO.  olson and juluis are closer than people think but you upgraded there and then I would much rather have Jeffrey over veeren esp since you never know what you are going to get out of a pats rb from week to week.

Bored tonight, figured I'd come to see Josh's excitement from his trade. Pats D blows, 3 points vs the jets, mayo and jones out. Seattle is pretty ****ty too. Really just curious to wonder if Danny will break the 45 point barrier again.

I had Emman and Gates in my other league, 5tds in one game I'LL TAKE IT

haha I think either nick or danny told me some good erm failed trade offer attempts.

never! my keeper is the #4 RB in fantasy and as you agreed last night "RB > Everything"

ipo facto: Bell > Maclin

while I might have slightly underestimated maclin coming off a serious knee injury, this belongs in the NFL Talk thread ;)

I like being loaded at RB.  if you think ingram is a one hit wonder and not consistent then def make that trade.  if you think you will start him every week I would stick would ingram
