Fantasy Football 2011: Jumping the Gun

[Valisk]

You didn't miss A NFC game...

You missed THE NFC game.

So you're never going to watch a Packers game, except when they play the Bears, because your gf is a Bears fan?

Oh shit week one championships.

The fact that I didn't leave the library until the 2nd quarter should indicate that idgaf.

[Tweek]

If AR kept throwing the ball after the 1st half I have no doubt he would have had 392 points.


Also wtf @ Colston, if he didn't fumble the ball I would have sworn he didn't play until the 4th.
Moss, nice fucking starts my boy played Nelson but sat Starks he's been talking Nelson up since the SB.

[Zoolander]

Driver is clearly on the decline, especially after that awful season last year, so I guess its expected that Nelson will reap the benefits and step his shit up.

I was kinda hoping Plow would have been right about Freeman and Nelson reuniting in Tampa. We need a slot receiver, hopefully Dezmon Briscoe steps up since Sammy Straughter is meh at best.

Driver certainly didn't look on the decline last night...

Do you drop Manning and free up a roster space? Or, hold on to him and hope that he plays for you in the playoffs?

It depends on whether you think some scrub in the FA pool is a better investment then Manning could be in 2-3 months. Some guy in one of my leagues already dropped him and I scooped him up just as trade bait late in the season. If you happen to land this year's Arian Foster or something though and have nobody else you could drop, then drop away. I would wait until Sunday's games are over at least and see what other injuries or breakouts happen.

It also depends on who your backup QB is but most people who draft Peyton don't draft a good backup and how many teams in your league as to who is in the FA pool.

Drop. Even if he's back in time for the playoffs, he probably wouldn't outperform whoever you've been starting for the first 12-13 weeks. Certainly not enough to be holding a roster spot hostage for 3/4ths of the season.

This. Also Nelson is clearly building a nice rapport with Rodgers but it's only one game so not trying to overreact too much by saying "Driver is done". I could see Driver turning into more of a 3rd down / across the middle guy with Nelson running more 10+ yard routes. We'll see.

[Zoolander]

Driver had a steep drop off last season, 550yds is not getting it done.

He had an okay game, but he was being targeted a shit ton too. We'll see, I'm no saying "he fucking sucks he should have retired," just that hes not going to be starter material in pretty much any format.

[Melena]

Decided last minute to bench Starks since everything pointed to him being a third down back and went with Plax for my flex. FUUUUUUUUU (unless plax goes beast mode sunday.)

[Headspace]

Playing a wr over a RB as flex.

Lol

[Bregor]

Second-guessing my TE situation in a 12-team league: Dustin Keller vs. DAL or Lance Kendricks vs. PHI?

sproles on my bench in 20 man with 18 points while foster is probably going to sit...

fucking hate thursday night scheduling ><

Lol

If the WR is better, you should.

It's really a coin flip. I'm buying into the Kendricks hype and I picked him up to start in one of my leagues over guys like Keller and Olsen. Keller has had big games before but he is always inconsistent overall. Kendricks could explode.

[Tyche]

After game 4 of last season, Keller disappeared. Why is game 4 important? That's when Holmes showed up.

Look for Kendricks to be a break-out this year. He looked awesome in preseason. I've got him backup to jermichael finley in the main league i'm doing and i'm expecting after the first few weeks when he proves himself I might put him in there. I love what finley brings to the table but when rodgers has as many targets as he does i'll end up with what I got thursday which is action in Q1 then pretty much nothing the rest of the game. Kendricks will be a main target for bradford whose also poised for a big year.

[Headspace]

Starks came on strong in the post season and is in an incredibly potent offense. RBs are also fairly consistent.

Plax hasn't played in two years and is in a shit fucking offense, splitting targets between him and Santonio.

Yeah, it's awesome to see Jordy doing so well, but I really thought Jones was going to end up playing the 3 most of the time with driver in the 1 and Jennings in the 2, but they were all just all over the place Thursday lol, and it looks like Jordy is going to be used an awful lot there.

Would have been sick to have a 3 wide set of Williams Benn and Jordy with Winslow slotted or in tight, sooooo many mismatches.

[Boyiee]

Benjarvis green ellis vs miami or tim hightower vs the giants?
