What's Aki's team even look like, since some of us aren't a part of that league. Really curious after reading all this this weekend lol.

I've been carried by Tom Brady for two weeks lol. It's not great. Hell, I was carried by Miles this week and now he's out for a few weeks. Just picked up Nate fucking Washington as his replacement. Incoming getting blown out by 30.

QB: Tom Brady / McNabb (lol how the hell is he so bad?)
RB: Ryan Matthews, MJD, Ahmad Bradshaw
WR: Miles Austin (out), Anquan Boldin (awful), Nate Washington (just picked him up), Devery Henderson (lucky as fuck), Pierre Garcon (awful without Peyton)
TE: Pettigrew (hasn't done shit)
K: Gostkowski
D: Baltimore (4.5 points against Tennessee? really?)

But yeah. That's basically a mediocre team at best, even with Brady. I've just gotten lucky as fuck. No way that continues lol

[Demosthenes11]

SEE YOU WEEK 13 ASSHOLE

[Akiyama]

I need to move one of my RBs out for a WR. Trade prz.

[Demosthenes11]

I'll trade you greg jennings for smiles and MJD

[Akiyama]

I'll trade you greg jennings for smiles and MJD

u silly

[Tyche]

Is not

It really is, though is this aleague where I have Pettigrew? He got me a whole .9 points, so I mean.. as soon as Stafford looks his way more in the redzone, he should get better. If I get major injuries, I'm fucked.

Which league was that?

The one where he talked shit to me and got 160 points dropped on his ass. I love my money league team, I'm typically pretty candid about my fantasy teams, and I think this one may be one of the best I've ever drafted.

Ah, where you dropped 160? Yeah, that was a great week for you. I only got 132 but that's with half my offense doing nothing and coming from Smiles/Brady. You tots need to trade me Kenny Britt :3

I'd say you're easily a favorite to win the league though with that team. I'm lucky if I'm top 5.

[Demosthenes11]

Should to auction next year for money. I'm so bad at snakes lol

[Akiyama]

Yeah, auctions are fun. I thinkI got Brady for $39 in one league and paid like 55 for Rodgers in another, rofl.

[Tyche]

Only WR I'd willingly move is probably Santonio Holmes. I fucking hate being happy when a Jet scores, but, I don't need a RB. I'm actually hoping the reports are true that Starks is going to be getting more touches and will pretty much take over with Grant delegated to backup work, then I can dump his ass off too. Maybe package him and Santonio for a better WR.

Yeah, you could probably do that and it's a shame that Grant may lose his job all because of that leg injury last year at the start of the year :/ He's looked decent in the bit of carries he's had, honestly.. but Starks is averaging like.. a little less than 7 YPC. I've also got him in a few leagues.

but yeah, I need a WR to solidify my lineup, especially when Smiles comes back.

I also love Yahoo's ratings. Projecting Sean Lee at like 4.5 points, AJ Green at 4.5, and Stars at like 7ish. Derp.

[Cail]

I got 5 waiver requests in my league lol..goin for David Nelson, Eric Decker, McCluster, Grossman, and if not grossman, Kafka in case he pans out and vick is out a while lol..only need a QB for week 6 though, cuz rivers is on Bye

[recuperi]

Whoever ends up with mccluster anywhere in BG leagues is gonna have a hell of an advantage over everybody else. Him bring WR/RB is just broken

[Tyche]

Another of my bench riders in BG money

Lesean McCoy
Mendenhall
Starks
Spiller
Mccluster

Hopefully he becomes productive enough that I can move him too. 10 touches a game isn't gonna do it though.

[Headspace]

Auction would be too easy. Drive up the price on cowboys and you've essentially taken one person out of the league

[Valisk]

I can't decide who to play in my flex spot. I know it's usually RB > WR but this one is tough.

T. Hightower @ DAL
D. Henderson vs HOU (opponent is starting Brees)
P. Harvin vs DET (opponent is starting Lions D)

There's some upside to all 3 of those match ups.

#1 - With Romo being injured, whether he plays or not, the Redskins will have lots and lots of possessions.

#2 - Any yards/TDs to Henderson will help neutralize the points my opponent gains from Brees.

#3 - If P. Harvin scores against the Lions, that will help the point differential as my points go up and his points go down.

The 1st scenario is the safest. The 2nd scenario hinges on Brees to Henderson vs Brees to anyone else. And 3rd scenario is extreme situational but can spark a 9-10 point (+6/7 me -3 him) swing every TD, IF and only IF Harvin is the one finding the endzone.

[kisada]

prob henderson. he's a good flex in general and i always like having a counter-wr on my opponent.

normally i'd just say hightower, ez game, but the redskins kept sticking helu in for him and he looked really freakin good. shanahan can't ignore that and while i think hightower still gets the bulk of the carries, helu earned enough PT to take a bite into a lot of them.

Lance Moore prolly going to have a bigger role again now. Even though Colston is still out Hendersons value could go down some. I still got to play him in 1 of my leagues though just cause of my available options

[Valisk]

So out of those 3 scenarios, which would you go with?
