Fantasy Football 2011: Jumping the Gun

[Tyr]

How you like them apples? I picked up Ryan Torain in the 20-man league right before Sunday's games. Too bad I didn't play him.

[Omnipotent]

I have Matt Staff, just finished a pretty good trade in my eyes. I traded Ray Rice and Anquan Boldin for Megatron and T.Hightower. Almost a wash out but I have stafford so I feel it gives me the edge. That leaves me with Forte/Gore/Hightower and Bryant/Johnson as my WR.

[tyven]

excellent deal. ray rice is cool and all but megatron is the fucking mack daddy

[Tweek]

hakeem nicks seems to be playing some pretty good football

nothing to do with him but he would have 26 yards and 1 less TD if that ref didn't fuck up that call on Cruz last week

[Chun Liroy]

In your favor? You bench Maclin on his most productive weeks.

1-3

You missed the part where I'm a bad GM.

[Cail]

I'm in a 2 keeper league, so our first 2 "rounds" are just keepers...should i trade a 5th rd (3rd after keepers) for brandon lloyd?

these are my WR:
eric decker, david nelson, devery henderson, marques colston, malcom floyd, and jabbar gaffney

[Moss]

if you didn't already have Decker I would suggest it, but I don't like the fact that your 2 best WR would be on the same team

[Cail]

i'm thinking the same thing...i mean, its one thing if it was jennings+driver or nelson, something like that...but my 2 best WR being the top 2 on the broncos just is...well yea

[Bregor]

Isn't Colston better than Decker when he's 100%? Either way I still wouldn't do it, Lloyd is a Tebow away from seeing his value plummet.

[Cail]

yea, that too

[Moss]

Decker is honestly pretty damn good. Brees spreads the ball too much for me to consider Colston better than either of those two

[Cail]

Until this week (idk what it is) decker led the team in targets, receptions, yds, and tds...i think lloyd passed him in yds, idk about t+r, but decker got 2 more TDs so he still leads there...and thats the problem with colston, that i forgot when i drafted. brees loves to spread it out. i only picked up henderson when colston was down, and of course after he had the big weeks

[Tweek]

Colston is still Brees most consistent target though, 4 out of his last 5 years he broke 1k yards, the year he didn't he only played 11 games. Personally I think the fact that Brees spreads the ball around a lot applies more to the Moore/Meachem/Hendersons when everyone is healthy. I picked up Henderson when Colston got injured and sat him (both of them) as soon as Colston came back, dropped Henderson already in one league and plan on dropping him in the other here soon.

[Akiyama]

I'd say Lance Moore is the more consistent target, and the only reason why his numbers don't show is he has a habit of getting hurt. Still.. Moore's targeted a ton more often than not. Henderson's a boom or bust kind of guy. Sadly, Brees spreads it around too much to really have a guy to depend on. He's like.. the Patriots of RBs, except with WRs.

[Cail]

perfect way to put it haha

lloyd had a bunch of 100 yard games with tebow at the helm i believe.

[Bregor]

Sample size, etc. Gotta think Orton's much better suited to get Lloyd the ball on the outside.

[kisada]

obviously, but plummeting isn't the right word.

anyway looked it up, at end of season he had games of 79 yards and 1 TD, 111 yards, and 73 yards and 1 TD. i dunno where i got "bunch" of 100 yard games from, but at any rate we'll at least know he's tebow's security blanket if that scenario comes to pass.

[Belkin]

Looking for opinions on this trade:

The situation: 12-Man league, starting RB's are non-existent in free agency. I have Arian Foster and Steven Jackson and our flex spot can be a RB as well. I have absolutely NOBODY worthwhile to put in my flex spot (options are like...Plaxico Burress, Marshawn Lynch, BenJarvus, Woodhead.) Somebody has offered to give me Victor Cruz and Willis McGahee for MY Mike Wallace. McGahee would give me stability in the flex spot, since he is becoming the work horse in Denver and Victor Cruz doesn't seem like such a bad option for a starting receiver. What do you guys think?
