GimpyNip: In Fantasy: Kevin Smith will go from 0% owned to 95% owned by Weds morning. Ongabyana should see some action as well.

I put in for Kevin Smith now that Peterson is doubtful this week. But since I am 11th in waiver order I don't think I will get him. My next option is Mark Ingram.

I've had torrey smith since before that week where he scored 32 points. Every time I bench him, he goes off. Thats the story of my season, ugh

F**k you charles

No love for Toby?

Trying to get Kevin Smith with my #4 pick, trying to move MJD, nobody seems to be biting on that though.

I'm excited about nickleback in two days!!!

GimpyNip: Anyone playing Andre Johnson this week?

I've got Cruz, Holmes and Harvin against soft Ds, so nope.
 
2011-11-22 04:54:38 PM
I think I have to start Tebow this week. Vick, McCoy, or Tebow...

Pratty: No love for Toby?

He just doesn't get the carries/points that AP does. If I can't get Smith or Ingram I may pick him up. I'm deep at WR (Welker, Jordy Nelson, Steve Smith, Hakeem Nicks) but no one wants them.

//5-6
///Somehow in the playoffs so far


I'm 9-2 and I still can miss the playoffs. But the uber douche in the league got eliminated this week.

Just picked up Kevin Smith. I gambled two weeks ago on Maurice Morris and lost.

The two most likely Orton options are a return to the Bears or a return to the QB battle with Grossman in DC. Either one is pretty entertaining if you're not a fan of either team.

I picked up Harvin a couple of weeks ago. dude got 5 running plays and 8 targets last week. I good addition at WR2 or Flex.

Fistbump to the guy who was smart enough to pick these guys off the waivers earlier in the season from a guy who did the same. Except I dropped Holmes. So for me its wallace, cruz, and harvin.

If McFadden would only heal up, I would be set. (Whose is my QB you ask? Rodgers). W7 streak, SOL for any waiver pickups, but willing to trade Cam for a decent tight end. Tired of Fred Davis being double covered and nobody capable of throwing the ball to him.

I really wish I was in a league that trades, at all. 0 trades all season, and the deadline just passed. I've been sitting on Vick and Newton all season, and Tebow since he got the job from Orton. So stupid. But I can't drop them, because then they'll get picked up off the wire for "free." So boring.

Ah yes Mark Ingram, the Saints RB I kept at the start of the season and dropped Darren Sproles before the first game to pick up mendenhall's handcuff

Random question - does anyone think it's worth it to hold onto Peyton Hillis?

You have McFadden too? I've got McFadden.

I actually traded for Santonio Holmes, trading Eric Decker when he had high value...right before Orton had his bad day, got pulled for Tebow and Decker became a #3 at best. Holmes is great this year because all his soft matchups make him a week-in week-out #3/Flex play. Got Cruz off waivers really early and Harvin just two weeks ago when a guy dropped him and I snatched him ASAP.

Unfortunately, my RB depth is bad(I have Cedric Benson and MJD and McFadden and that's it. And MJD won't last), I had Schaub who went down and Hernandez has been off a bit at TE. 3 game losing streak now, but if Andre and McFadden get healthy I think I have a shot.

Fred Davis might be on an upward trend because Moss is back and then finally put Grossman back in. But if you have Rodgers, trading Cam for a good TE is worth it.

Just clinched playoffs this week, am sitting on 2nd place which equals a bye. Need to win the last week of the season to get the bye.
I recently traded for Romo, Witten and Cruz since Austin went down, Wallace had a bye and the tandem of Fitzpatrick and Freeman was leaving much to be desired. Best WW pickup of the season - Michael Bush. Been riding him and Foster to 5 straight W's. If AP goes down for a few weeks, the undefeated guy in our league could be in trouble.

Pratty: MJD won't last

His back-up whatshisname is serviceable. I think they have a weak schedule too.

/also has McFadden, but drafted Michael Bush ridiculously high
//Miles Austin is my albatross. Absolutely killing me.

The Broncos should pick up Orton - they would be much improved at QB.

Playoff schedule is average. Tennesse isn't a good matchup, but they also have Indy in the last game of the year and the Falcons are average.

Maybe I was thinking of someone else. But if MJD goes down, it's not like they can turn into a passing offense.

When your starters are Blaine Gabbert at QB and Deji Karim at RB, I don't want any part of the offense.

Free Agent Auction Bid System is awesome.

That is all.

Had a friend offer me Murray and Gronk for McCoy before last week in a 10 person ppr league. I decided against it on the basis that he was obviously trying to sell them high and I didn't want him to have Foster and McCoy for the playoffs. But it sure would be nice to have Gronk right now.

Right now I'm just going to play it safe and head into the playoffs with Stafford, McCoy, Jones-Drew, Roddy White, Boldin, Lynch, and Fred Davis and either B Lloyd or Beanie for a spot start or two.

Can't argue with that.

So happy I picked up Cruz after the first game he played. He's been pretty much my only consistent scorer.

I also enjoy how Carson Palmer outscores Brady almost every week. So pissed that I lost a game by the difference in their points. Never again will you screw me Brady, never again.

I also really wish I had played all my first choices two weeks ago. Took mcgehee over Bush, Ford over D. Moore, and benched Gronkowski for Olsen for the first time, and took the 49ers over the bears.

If I had just reversed those it was a 200+ point week.

I somehow found myself owning almost exclusively Raiders (intentional as a Raiders fan) and Patriots (unintentional) players. Anyone else end up just owning half a team?
 
2011-11-22 07:58:17 PM
I just traded Benson and Cruz for A.J. Green, because he's the #1 wideout and I like two of his playoff matchups. Good deal or bad deal?

F**k you charles


He gets multiple long-range targets every week (at least, since the STL game), it's just a question of whether or not Flacco gets it to him and then whether or not he holds on to the ball. It's scary how often that guy beats corners deep, though.

Depending on your other options, I'd consider starting him this week. San Francisco has been brutal against the run, and Cam Cameron isn't too shy about giving up on the running attack. That should translate into a good number of opportunities for Torrey.
