NFL fantasy football 2012-2013.

Thoughts for this week? Should I stick with FJax at flex or take a flier on Battle or CJ.5k?

Need 3 WRs this week, from Welker, Demaryius Thomas, Andre and Calvin Johnsons... leaning toward Welker, Thomas, and Megatron with Andre kind of under-performing so far. Not a PPR league, though, so Welker could lay an (for Welker) egg against Seattle. Thoughts?

[tyven]

In a 12-man league, my WRs are phenomenal, my RBs are shit:

QB-
Tom Brady

WR-
Calvin Johnson
Brandon Marshall
Reggie Wayne
Antonio Brown

RB-
Darren McFadden
Donald Brown
Vick Ballard
William Powell
Kendall Hunter
Ben Tate

TE-
Rob Gronkowski
Owen Daniels


For reference, I traded Steven Jackson and Mikel Leshoure in acquiring some players, but lost both Cedric Benson and Donald Brown this week to injuries.

Basically, what RBs would you guys advise me to target that could have me feasibly keep my starters intact? I'm trying to shop Reggie Wayne or Antonio Brown+x for some RBs like:

Ryan Matthews
DeMarco Murray
Adrian Peterson (I'd have to pay an arm-and-a-leg to get Adrian, I think)
Trent Richardson

There are some other prospects that might be a bit cheaper, but I'm not entirely sold, like Marshawn Lynch


I think I'm most looking at DeMarco Murray, because it is a PPR league and I trust him despite a slow start to the season. A trade might be like Reggie Wayne for DMM. Any of you guys have a suggestion for an RB that could help solidify my team?

I've even shopped Megatron for Ray Rice, but no go. And some cheaper options at RB might be Michael Turner (as a stop-gap, because otherwise I'm starting Vick Ballard/William Powell), Darren Sproles, or maybe Alfred Morris.

ive seen the kind of shit you offer for ryan mathews. GL lol. You might be able to get alfred morris cheap or really overpay since people are so high on him right now.

Bench Dre, relatively easy call imo. He has been underperforming and the other 3 have been studs

[Moss]

Morris over, say, DeMarco Murray?

Meh, I will never trust Shanny. I would take DMM personally.

Feels like an easy call; probably just overthinking things. Thanks.

[Eticket]

Well, Mendenhall turned out to be a great start this week. Ugh

[Arvin]

Meh, I will never trust Shanny. I would take DMM personally.

He's been consistent this year, though. He's seen something in Morris to keep giving him the start.

[Moss]

That's the point. It seems like there is no reason he would go away from Morris with how well he has played. That's when the Shan strikes.

[Diomer]

Well, Mendenhall turned out to be a great start this week. Ugh

I feel your pain; I got burnt hard in the one league I NEEDED him to have decent numbers due to byes.

[Jonny]

This week, Texans D/ST vs Green Bay or Arizona D/ST vs Buffalo?

[Abandon]

Roll Tide

dammit, lol

[Cail]

This week, Texans D/ST vs Green Bay or Arizona D/ST vs Buffalo?

buffalo is the much weaker offense, but for some reason i see a big game coming from buffalo...but id still go ari

Spoiler: show

wouldn't touch battle this week unless news comes out, nobody that's not trying to win an internet argument against plow is claiming to have even the slightest clue wtf is going on

Week 5 vs New Orleans Saints
Ronnie Brown 33 snaps 48%
Ryan Mathews 28 snaps 41%
Jackie Battle 8 snaps 12% < all in the first quarter

Week 4 vs Kansas City Chiefs
Jackie Battle 27 snaps 43%
Ryan Mathews 21 snaps 33%
Ronnie Brown 14 snaps 22%

If Battle's not going to be playing, look hard at Ronnie.

[Akiyama]

Yeah, don't touch Battle. Read on ESPN's little projection ditty that maybe Norv used him as a 'motivational tool' to get Matthews up and going, which sounds absolutely silly, but who the fuck knows when it comes to Norv Turner lol

[Arvin]

Stafford projected higher than Luck, but Luck is matched up vs the jets.. and they have the whole leukemia thing motivating them. Who would you guys play? lol

[Xajii]

I dunno, Stafford and Megatron have to explode at SOME point. You know if you bench him it will be this week.

[Cail]

flex spot:

gates or spiller

[fstfrk13]

Need some help with my flex spot as well. Steven Jackson vs mia or a questionable Hakeem Nicks vs Sf. Both have some pretty rough match ups this week but im leaning towards SJ because I don't think nicks will be 100%. On the other hand Nicks got 200 yards and a Td last time playing with a bad knee/ankle...

[Plow]

Yeah, don't touch Battle. Read on ESPN's little projection ditty that maybe Norv used him as a 'motivational tool' to get Matthews up and going, which sounds absolutely silly, but who the fuck knows when it comes to Norv Turner lol

possibly, but while norv has been raving about matthews's performance, he still gave ronnie brown more snaps, this situation is just fucked
