Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
Matthews was a bit much to drop for McGahee.
I picked up Willis on two teams though, on teams I had droppable players. Found Josh Gordon available in one league too...coming back from suspension this week, so he's a little under the radar at the moment.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
Maybe so Monkey, but Mathews does not score and only plays on 1st and 2nd down, AND fumbles. I guess I'm just done with him and am still wondering why I drafted him. Also, it seems like this year Phillip Rivers is passing when he gets close to scoring. They don't trust Mathews around the goal line, and I can't say I blame them. I have Marshawn and Steven Ridley, and Daryll Richardson, so I feel like I can afford to take a chance on McGahee, especially with all the RB injuries. I'm probably hurting other guys in my league putting Willis on my team. They can all go crazy over Mathews and get burned like I have been.

I do feel the Mathews pain...I own him on one team. McGahee might not be much better but it's a gamble that might pay off. I dropped Pierre Thomas and Fred Davis for McGahee on the two teams I grabbed McGahee on. Fred is not going to return to stud status. I grabbed Martellus Bennett Sunday morning last week and started him over Davis...jackpot. I'm not looking back, it's a money league and I don't like carrying 2 TEs...wasted roster spot to me. Quality backup RBs and WRs are far more valuable and tougher to come by then backup TEs for one bye week.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
Monkey, thought about adding Gordon but at the expense of Jennings of Minn. My thinking on both is what do to with a WR group in which niether team has a good QB throwing the ball.
My other backup is Decker and I wont let him go for Gordon.

Gordon is going to be Clevaland's clear #1 weapon on offense, perhaps their only one. McGahee will get all of the carries but they're going to be playing from behind EVERY week. Jennings has been a disappointment but has a higher ceiling I think, but they're pretty close to even. I'd probably wait to see how both do this week and if Jennings puts up one more mediocre week, I'd drop him for Gordon if still available then.

Guys and gals in my league have been active on the waiver wires and that was the reason I was thinking about getting it done early. I went through my team last night and currently I have 6 players that I acquired after the draft. Was able to put together a nice suad in a 12 team league with: M Ryan # 1 QB with Flacco as a #2 (thinking of picking up Pryor or Manuel for his week 6 bye) Spiller # 1 Bush #2 D Bryant (hated making the pick but whatever) #1 Nicks #2 Gates and Cameron are my TEs Royal, Decker, Jennings, Tate, and Andre Ellington are my FLEX options D is Bills and Vikes this week K is Garret Hartley after having to drop Kai.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
lots of good TEs that went late or undrafted.
winslow, myers, gates, olsen... and oakland TEs are going to be decent since their QB doesn't really throw to WRs... |

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
Reed is definitely on my watch list for sure. I could see him being a good pickup after our bye week.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
Fred Davis has just fallen off the map. I could easily see Reed taking over that position soon. I am just still in wait and see mode. With Gates and Cameron (CLE) I am pretty set at TE.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
Ok, I can't do it this week. I can't start Steven Ridley against the Bucs. I'm going with Daryll Richardson against the Cowboys. I hope I don't regret it.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
Desean Jackson was a dud! F him... this week.
It was either him or Josh Gordon with Cleveland. I just didn't trust a 3rd string QB to get it done.

Re: Fantasy Football 2013 Thread
I got burned by J. Charles last night. The guy I'm playing this week started Charles and Desean Jackson. He has 30 and my week hasnt even started yet. ugh. Alex Smith is so timid. He won't throw to anyone unless they are wide open. J Charles is the Chief's whole offense.
