Fantasy Football 2011: Jumping the Gun

[Chun Liroy]

Fucking brandon Lloyd is garbage, Meachem is shit, Arian Foster has been shit except for past 2 weeks (thanks autopick).

Eli manning of all people has had more points this past week than Kellen Winslow's entire season.

Maclin has been "ok" in that he had 30 points and I failed to start him.

Neil Rackers has 4th most points on the team (Not counting second QB).

[Chun Liroy]

What league is this in, leroy?

BG Money.

It's like i'm the 2011 eagles, full of underachievers.

[Akiyama]

Oh, forgot you were in that league lol

i realize tebow looks godawful throwing the ball, but i think lloyd will probably be better off than he has been with orton this year. last year lloyd had 3 solid games with tebow as the starting QB: i'm not sure he feels safe throwing to anyone else. not panicking if i had lloyd.

Do I trade away Roddy White and DeAngelo Williams for Maclin and Felix Jones?

Is anyone buying Williams getting more than 10 carries any week? I'm not buying his ability to keep 10 yards per carry up.

Williams looked alright when he finally broke one off. I think he'll get more play as the year continues on, and I dunn of I'd give up on Roddy White just yet, though his dropsies are getting beyond ridiculous.

[Tyche]

My team will be, post trade

Phillip Rivers
Maclin
Nicks
Jones
Forte
Owen Daniels
Barth
Ravens

I have (and plan on keeping, J Stew and I just bid a fuck ton of money Battle)

[Tyche]

What about Deangelo and Roddy White for Dez and MJD?

[Akiyama]

Rivers is really killing you right now, yeah? and Maclin/Nicks is good.. but I still think Roddy White has more upside than Maclin at this point. I've argued Ryan isn't a great QB yet, but I think he'll figure his shit out.

The Felix/Williams thing is in Felix's favor all the way. What's your depth at WR?

btw, gimme Mike Wallace in Strait Cash :3

No, I had Matt Ryan and I traded for Rivers. I started the season in this league with Flacco and Orton as starters (some bastard took Stafford 1 pick before me late). Over the past 2 weeks, I've made 3 trades flipping QBs. I went from Flacco to Fitzpatrick to Ryan to Rivers. I actually never had to start Ryan, I just got him yesterday. It's volc's crazy scoring, so Rivers 65% completion rate scores really well despite the INTs. After all the smoke had settled from all the trades, I essentially traded Flacco, Manningham, and Ahmad Bradshaw for Phillip Rivers. Now I need to replace Bradshaw.

[Tyche]

It's 2 WRs per lineup and I start Nicks and White, after that, I don't have much of anything, not that I really need anything.

This happens to you often huh?

Ah okay and yeah, that crazy league. :< Not much I can do to help there since I'm not in it and don't really know much about it. Either way.. the trade's really not that bad then if you're set in positions. Only reason I ask about depth is for one of those 'oh shit' injuries that seems to creep up on people.

[Tyche]

Stafford went earlier than I would have taken him in BG money (4th or 5th round?). I was surprised he was taken that early, although in hindsight, it paid off.

[Akiyama]

If I sat here saying Boldin would be my worse starting WR, I wouldn't have believed it considering Garcon, but lol. Step up yo game, Boldin.

[Tyche]

I proposed Roddy and Deangelo for Dez and MJD. I like that trade for me. That'll give me MJD and Forte at starting RB and Dez/Nicks for WR

[Akiyama]

I've got a MJD/FOrte combo in one league I think. It's been okay so far. Forte doin' work. Dez.. if the dude's healthy, he's a stud opposite Smiles.

Is anyone buying Williams getting more than 10 carries any week? I'm not buying his ability to keep 10 yards per carry up.

Like I said on fleaF, it's really up to Otah. His fitness is finally up to par and he's healthy. He makes or breaks that OLine.

CAR has a hell of a schedule though. They'll still be underdogs for most of it, so idk about him breaking more than 10 a game consistently if they're playing catch up constantly.

[Tyche]

MJD/Dez trade was rejected. Kinda figure it would be, but the guy has been trying to get White from me, so I was trying to play him toward that.

So what do we think about DeAngelo/White for Felix/Maclin? Should I wait to see if I get Battle? I'd love to sit on this trade for a week to see if Battle continues to carry the load, but Battle is on bye this week, so I learn nothing.

[Akiyama]

I still dunno about DeAngelo/Maclin. Where are you in the standings? Is it absolutely needed to do this trade soon or can you hold off for a couple weeks?
