Lorenzo the goal line back now, good for 10-12 carries and 1-2 shots at the end zone a game, I'll take that all day.

Sims is being touted in the media as the bellcow once healthy, who knows if it turns out to be true (if you remember I asked you to do that thing w/ him and tannehill the other day)

6ixty · Young Money

i actually really like the sims pickup. was big on him before the year before he got hurt

MFisH · Negus

I get grey isn't an automatic starting fantasy RB, but to get him for 0 points while kearns picked up a FB who might not touch the ball more than 3 times/game again is crazy to me

6ixty · Young Money

yeah thats def true

Frikone · Veteran Member

I was shocked by the waivers this week. I went big on sims because I knew josh was going hard for one of the rbs. I wanted Hawkins too too but Erm grabbed him. I have no idea how guys like gray and Bryant went through for 0 though especially in a league where people are starting Hakeem nicks and trich.

LMAO.

josh for the amount of trades you propose you sure were jewish with your budget after spending 60 on kapernick to have 36 left for tele. oh wait...

Jpoo · Guru

Hey I at least can field a full lineup now!

6ixty · Young Money

gotta love 23 points staring you in the face from your bench for 4 days...

Jpoo · Guru

Ingrams the truth man, I'll happily work out some kinda trade for him.

Jpoo · Guru

If you could only pick one for the rest of the season who would you take

Mike Wallace

DeAndre Hopkins

Mohammed Sanu

6ixty · Young Money

sanu. hopkins is a close second but sanu has been doing it all year even with AJ green and I wouldnt be surprised if my boy ryan mallet gets a shot here soon

MFisH · Negus

apparently my brother is staying at sanus house this weekend for the game on Thursday (I told you he's from my hometown and they were good friends). anybody want anything signed?

MFisH · Negus

josh how long ago did you pick up AP?

Jpoo · Guru

had him since saturday

MFisH · Negus

SMH, very smart, always a week or 2 ahead. I was planning on trying to pick him up this week regardless of the news but then obviously when the story broke today I knew I had no shot with 0 points left so I checked who had him and of course you did.

anyway, we need a trading deadline esp since we have keepers in play. season is over week 14, does after week 12 work for everyone as the deadline? with 2 weeks left it gives a good idea of whos in and whos out, but I am going to be more strict with these deals on approving them so people don't take advantage of them. like, if its for a keeper that person almost has to keep them the next year unless something crazy happens (say preseason injury). what you guys think?

6ixty · Young Money

jay cutler vs GB or cam newton vs phi this weekend?

MFisH · Negus

thanks for the input, looks like week 12 is our trade deadline, I will let everyone know soon.

also, do u really think I'm gonna say cam over philly?

Jpoo · Guru

I think Cam, Eagles D isn't exactly world beaters and just gave Fitzpatrick almost 20 points

Week 12 is fine.... Honestly this week is the trade deadline in my other league, and we also made the rule that after a certain week you can't keep traded players to prevent fire sales.

annnnd there it is. not sure if this helps or hurts hopkins but i thought mallet was a beast coming out of the draft and Im not backing down from that now

MFisH · Negus

I'm saying this knowing that I might just jinx myself for this game, but how the hell is new mike's team 7-2 and currently in 2nd place??

yes he has aaron Rodgers and antiono brown, but he is starting Jeremy hill and frank gore as his RB's?? his flex is currently Michael crabtree? i think he has 2 starters on his team who would start over mine (at best), i don't get how we have the same record at all. i better win this one!

Jpoo · Guru

2nd to last in Points Against, thats how. Also rode the Bradshaw/Oliver train while it was hot.... His team is gonna start breaking down soon, I'll bet on it.

MFisH · Negus

is he talking mad sh*t to you that he came into the league and is in 2nd place?

Jpoo · Guru

Nah not at all, thats not his style, me and him are really civil and never get into **** talk fests... That doesn't mean I'm not super competitive and want him to do worse then me though.

6ixty · Young Money

fish and i should be able to knock him down a peg over the next couple weeks.

depending on how the next 3 weeks shake out fish and I could be battling for first (or even second) place come round 2 of our matchup in week 12

6ixty · Young Money

also, six 4-5 teams battling for 2 playoff spots right now.

Jpoo · Guru

Pulling my ass out of the cellar and sitting with the 3rd most points for, I like my chances, look out I'm coming back.

Jpoo · Guru

WHAT A WEEK OF FANTASY!

Nick getting upset by last place Paul (life imitating fantasy a-la Steelers/Jets?)

Me getting to watch Marshawn beast against my own team (I feel dirty)

And Fish now having to hope that Maclin can outscore Kelvin by 4 and change.

Erm/Mouth's matchup could be interesting, Mouth up by 14 w/ Cody Parky left to go, but Erm has LeSean. With a Mouth win the Erm descent continues.

The season winding down and my teams getting hot, LETS GO

MFisH · Negus

ya last nights game was hard to watch. I thought I was in great shape and then all of a sudden aaron Rodgers went out there and looked like he was playing a college team. thank god they took him out basically after halftime or he could have throw another 2-3 td's easily.

my team did ok but could have been a lot better. Hillman barley touched the ball which was disappointing and delanie walker was looking great until he get knocked the F out so those 2 hurt me. having arian on a bye did help either but what can you do.

in my other league I went from having a pretty good chance of winning untilllllllllll the cards defense decided to score 2 tds in about 2 minutes and now the game might be out of reach. SMH.

MFisH · Negus

Ronnie Hillman out at least 2 weeks, SMH. my dynasty is crumbling!

Jpoo · Guru

How about a league story Fish? I think we're over due.

MFisH · Negus

ha, I know I do miss doing them. the thing that made them good was all the inside jokes we had with each other when we either were living with each other or at least seeing each other every so often but now I haven't seen anyone in our league in months so idk what I would even write about!

6ixty · Young Money

can you find any of the old ones? i know i wrote a solid one about 6 years ago but wouldnt even know where to start looking for it

MFisH · Negus

na, I know I posted a few on this forum on one of the older topics but not sure where yours are. go back to your email and see how far you can dig back in your sent items.

6ixty · Young Money

yeah just did. found one from week 2 of 2012 (2 years ago) but its wasnt all that. the one im thinking of i sent from my old work email. oh well.

6ixty · Young Money

be careful adding points to the ww budget. ppl got pissed last time to the point i didnt even attempt to pick someone up for 1

MFisH · Negus

who are "people" danny? no1 has said anything to me.

6ixty · Young Money

Mark says: I gave nick 1 point because he is out of points and he wants to make sure one of his waiver priority's is higher than another player and this is the only way to do it because it auto resets to alphabetical order. if this happens to you let me know and I will add 1 point to you also

Tue, Oct 21, 1:58pm....
Joe says: So basically we are giving handouts because you two blew your load too early. Could always just place claim on the guy you want and wait until morning for the second. Pretty sure Erm wants that same guy for $1 but Nick will get him. Fish you owe the league already for keeping Maclin at a generous $1.

Tue, Oct 21, 9:13pm via Mobile Device....
Domo says: Yeah I'm not gonna put in for anyone at $1. Its a problem with the website but I'll figure something out. Fish you can take away the 1, I wont be using it.

MFisH · Negus

ah ok I haven't paid attention to that. ok josh, here is your 1 freebie point, use it wisely.

Jpoo · Guru

NFL blows time to move to ESPN

TE SHOULD be able to be flexed

Spending your FAAB should NOT affect waiver claim order.

NFL runs hat half speed, not a fan.

Frikone · Veteran Member

Yeah f you guys and your freebie points. I'll prob need one next week. I do agree it's pretty damn stupid. Does espn do fractions of a point like NFL.com? That's like the only reason why I liked it. The nfl projections are awful, McKinnon is projected 0 points every week and Ben Tate is like 15. NFL does have better irrevelant to fantasy articles on the homepage that focus more on sons of anarchy episodes than football but anything beats Matthew Berry's weekly garbage. Lastly how do we have a league that started Blount, Martin and the jaguars kicker? I don't feel so bad trotting out Charles sims after that.

Jpoo · Guru

Yes fractions of a point are done

6ixty · Young Money

haha gotta love a good fracione post

MFisH · Negus

haha even thought he is becoming the new danny complaining about everything yea that was great. if u make me laugh I will allow a little bitching.

Frikone · Veteran Member

Random fantasy question... I'm in first place in another league and currently have Kaep and Cutler as my Qb. Eh I know. Any thoughts to if I should pick up and start RG3 this week vs Tampa? I'm not sure which of the three would be best for the playoff run.

MFisH · Negus

I would drop cutler and pick up RG3. still probably start kaep but it depends on the matchup. rg3 vs the bucs isn't a bad play

Frikone · Veteran Member

Kaep plays the giants in dirty jersey at 1 pm. He also has Seattle in weeks 13 and 15. Glad I can make you laugh, usually that's all you need to bring home a fatty.

6ixty · Young Money

the bears are a mess, id drop cutler over either of those 2 guys

Jpoo · Guru

Sanchez a must start for me for the rest of the year fish?

MFisH · Negus

I would say yes just because any decent eagles qb is almost always going to up good fantasy numbers in chips system. with that said, this is a tough matchup for him, packers on the road, so I do wanna see him play a good team on the road before I make a statement like he's a full time fantasy starter. hopefully he plays like hes capable and doesn't fall back into his jets turnover ways but with the way the oline blocked for him on MNF (I think he was hit once or twice the entire game) and the way he moves around in the pocket with his footwork I think he will be fine and a good play for the rest of the year.
