re: How's your Fantasy Football Team looking this year

Zac Stacy and his 4 points, along with Vincent Jackson's 3 points, totally fricked me. I had Isaiah Crowell on my bench as a joke and he put up 15. Damn it.

I wish I would have destroyed a team like that, my league does fractional scoring, (if your RB rushes for 93 yards, you get 9.3 pts for it.) I won by .9 pts. I found out my bench is deep though, 5 of the 6 guys on the bench hit double digits. Kelvin Benjamin's stock went up.

I have to figure out a new strategy for defense though, KC lost 2 of their best defenders. I might just try to pickup whoever is playing St Louis that week.

Pretty damn good strat, we're god awful on O.

I picked up Tampa Bay for this week. Right now I'm trying to decide to start between:

Alshon
Kelvin Benjamin
Mike Evans
Terrance WIlliams
or Colston
as my WR2 for the week.

If Alshon is 100%, I'll start him, but if he's still Questionable this weekend, I'll look at 1 of the other 4 options.

Got a lot of targets against the panthers.

Also that TE, myars I think, he got alot of targets as well. He could be a nice sleeper TE for someone not named Graham or Olsen.

Also if you can grab B. Cooks from N.O. he will be huge this year, luckily half my league players are hooked on old veteran stars and no one pays attention to the young guys..

Helpful hints from me to you

B Cooks actually got drafted in my league. My TE, Pitta had 15 targets last week, so I'm going to stick with him for the forseeable future. I had the opportunity to use my #2 claim on the waiver wire to pick up Antonio Gates yesterday, but I just think Pitta has a legit shot of being a Top5 TE this year with that kind of volume of targets.

I was really surprised by Olsen's performance against TB. The Panthers did jack shite in the off season to address the loss of their OL, so I thought they were going to have to have Olsen stay back to help block. He got open a lot though.

I'm really thinking about playing Evans this week against St Louis as Minn's WR's torched St Louis last week. Evans had 9 targets and 1 in the RZ last week (although, TB didn't get in the RZ a whole lot that game.)

Alshon didn't practice at all yesterday, if he sits out today fully, I probably won't play him this weekend.

I won by 60 pts, my opp's team totally flopped. Now 2-0 and pts leader, it feels good.

I ended up dropping Pitta and scooping up Gates from an idiot that dropped him.

I also dropped Terrance WIlliams and picked up Steve Smith.

I started Colston in place of Alshon and got 0 pts.

So I dropped Colston and was able to pickup Donald Brown, I had R Matthews but now he has an MCL injury.

I also dropped Gano for Carpenter.

Gio and Murray went off this week and Peyton is Peyton so I put up pts. Also, Cobb caught 2 TD's and is primed for a great contract year.

I wish I could've got Bradshaw or Kniles Davis, but someone was quicker to the UFA list than I was.

I'm thinking about picking up AZ just to stash that defense for the playoffs.

4-1 and in 1st place.

Peyton Manning is KING.

I looked up the Draft Day Projections and the Current Projections for my FFB team. The Draft Day projections had me at 7-6 and a 6th seed for the playoffs. The Current Projections have me at 12-1 and a 1st seed for the playoffs.

I made a few roster moves though.

I picked up Steve Smith a few weeks ago b/c I knew he was going to eat the Panther's lunch, and he did. I also picked up McKinnon, b/c I don't think Asiata will hold onto that job long with his fumble tendency.

So now my team looks like:

QB - Manning
WR's - Alshon, Cobb, Benjamin, Steve Smith.
RB's Murray, Gio, Gore, J Bell, McKinnon, Matthews, D. Brown.
TE - Gates
K - Vinatieri
D/ST - San Diego

Who do y'all think are the best defenses for the FFB playoffs (weeks 14-16) this year?

I would say whoever is playing minnesota... geez if they can make green bays' def earn 28 points....
any def will fair good against them.

that was a Minnesota team w/o Bridgewater at QB in that game.

Bridgewater is about 2 years away from being where gino smith is...

6-1!!! 1st place. I beat 4 consecutive #1 Contenders (the #2 team in the league at the time we played.) I'm points leader by 100 pts but I also am 4th for most points against me.

My defense situation is still atrocious and I just lost 33% of my D/ST strategy. I was just picking up whoever played JAX, NYJ or STL this week, but to Cayce's delight, STL found an offense, so now I just have to go after whoever is playing JAX or NYJ.

Peyton Manning is King. I think McKinnon is developing nicely and he'll be in my lineup this week. Cobb is a machine, and Murray is incredible. I had a guy offer me Calvin Johnson for Murray yesterday, lulz. Alshon had his worst game, but that's really b/c Cutler was throwing horrible passes at him. I thought it was bad when Gio only got 17 yards yesterday, but luckily my opponent started Zac Stacy who didn't get any points.

7-1!!!! 1st Place and a game and about 100 pts ahead of the guy in 2nd.

I picked up Miami's defense for Sunday's game, that was awesome. I dropped them with the quickness today though since they are playing San Diego this week. Hopefully Philly keeps doing well and gets some D/ST TD's.

This week will be tough. I have Cobb and Alshon out, Gio is banged up and Murray is going against the best Rush Defense, Arizona, in the NFL.

I had a guy offer me a trade of Murray for Megatron, I lol'd. However, we do a keeeper league, so I'm thinking of a counter offer. Would any of y'all think it would be advantageous to trade Murray for a 1st and 2nd Rd pick next year? Essentially, I would give the guy Murray and my 15th round pick, and he would give me his 1st and 2nd Round picks for next year.

The guy I am thinking about making the counteroffer to is a bubble playoff team right now. He wouldn't be able to keep Megatron or Murray for next year, as they were taken in the first 2 rounds this year. This would essentially give me 4 picks in the first 2 rounds next year.

Also, my other RB's are: Gio, Hill (Gio handcuff), Gore, McKinnon, Matthews. I could see myself losing 10-12 points a week in production if I trade Murray. However, I'm destroying people this season, I'm a playoff lock, and so I'm really only concerned about losing those 10-12 points in weeks 15 and 16 (the playoffs.)
