I suppose using the term "hardcore" on the Aggie board might not have been the best word choice.

Any of you play FF and take it seriously? Would be fun to talk who to start and sit each week with fellow Ags. I know there is a Fantasy Sports board on TD just wondering if anyone here is as avid as me about FF?

I'm in 7 fantasy football leagues and a commissioner in 2 of them. Working on several big trades right now. What can I help you with?











Just kidding. My life might be full of fail, but I'm not a fantasy football dork.

Why the hell not....What's on your mind, broheim?

How many Aggies do you have on your fantasy roster?

None! Well technically Denvers defense in 2 of my 4 leagues should count.

I didnt have any specific questions. Just thought it would be cool to have a weekly? Who the frick do I play in my flex this week thread etc. I am a pretty damn good fantasy player.

Basically if anyone needs/wants fantasy advice or tips and if I get stumped one week on who to start/sit (I tend to overthink things sometime) would be cool to have others opinions.

Just a thought. Apparently not many FF on here though.

I felt like this sentence called out for this gif. I would have gone with a humble brag in this spot.

Not a problem.

To answer my own question, I do have Martellus Bennett in one of my leagues. I also think that Randy Bullock has settled down enough to warrant fantasy consideration. Hell, in two of the Texans game he accounted for 100% of their points.

I'll shoot you a couple of questions: Larry Fitzgerald against Seattle or Emmanuel Sanders against Baltimore. Fitzgerald has a hamstring issue in both legs, is looking at a short week to rest, and will line up against Richard Sherman on Thursday. However, he did post his best statistical performance of the season on Sunday.

Also, any recommendations on picking up a waiver wire running back? I missed out on Brandon Jacobs and Joseph Randle.

Fitzgerald wont be 100% and as you said Sherman is a monster, however he is still a goal line target and Sherman does have the tendancy to jump routes from time to time. Out of the 2 I would go Fitzy despite the poor matchup. I am benching him but I scooped Justin Blackmon off waivers the last week of suspension.

I would have to know who was still on the waiver wire in your league as far as RBs go. Ellington is still on the wire in some quite a few leagues suprising enough.

Me too. Was a great move in my PPR league.

I overdraft Saints, but not Aggies. I would suck if I did both.

I had Fitzgerald and sanders. I've cut sanders weeks ago. But you might not want to listen to me, 0-6 and playing the undefeated #1 team this week

Fitzgerald combined last year for around 100 yards reception, 0 td's, and 1 INT against Sherman in 2012. That with the lingering injury, I'd probably try to find a gem in the Free Agents. I'd still probably play him over Sanders though FWIW

Bilal Powell from NYJ - Goal line back , Mike Goodson :( is hurt
