[quote=scowan;941771]I have Peyton Manning. I need 11.1 points from him. We are 20 passing yards = 1 point and 4pts per passing TD. I need 222 yards out of him not counting TDs or INTs. That should be possible right?[/quote]what was his total?

+ 12 for yards
+ 4 for td
- 6 for ints?

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;942369]Ive got Aaron Rodgers and am considering trading him for griffin and Antonio brown or Wes welker. It's a gamble, but is it worth the risk?[/quote]

Are you that short at receiver? Because giving away the 1 fantasy QB the last 2 years is a sevre risk, especially with the importance you deem that position to be.

Ok, I've had Ryan Mathews on my bench from the beginning. Is it time to start him in Week 3?

Rodgers has not looked good the first two weeks and RGIII looks amazing. Hes the #1 QB the first two weeks and I see him getting even better. I guess i veiw it as UPGRADING at QB AND getting something decent at receiver in return.

The trade I discussed was actually part of a three way trade... Now its looking like I may be able to trade with the two guys seperately and do this:

Green-Ellis for RGIII
Rodgers and Mendenhall for Rice

Ok so I'm pretty confident at starting Brandon Marshall against the Rams defense


But I have another WR spot to fill.

Should I put in

Andrew Hawkins (small fast slot WR for the Bengals) against our D

Randall Cobb (plays RB and WR and returns punts and kicks) against the Seahawks

Greg Jennings (whos questionable with a groin injury) against the Seahawks On Monday Night so it'll be between him and cobb if I leave that slot open.

Leonard Hankerson against the Bengals defense (but he's the 4th WR and Pierres back)

i'd go with either cobb or jennings. jennings if he's ready, cobb if he isn't.

armon binns just overtook hawkins on the depth chart & cobb is just flat out a better option than hank at this point.

Cobb or Jennings has more upside and flexibility as it's the same game. Agree with the other guy, and i lean towards Cobb.

Agreed. Cobb unless Jennings is 100%.

Hawkins is way down on their depth chart, they also have Brandon Tate who they've been using behind Binns. They have a crowded WR corps a lot like us.

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

I think I'd bench Charles for DeAngelo Williams. Stewart is likely out tonight so it's all Williams vs. the Giants. There's about a 4-way share going on in KC. I got burnt starting Hillis Week 1 and got burnt by benching him in Week 2. They're unpredicable...plus Shawn Draughn is stealing goalline carries from Charles and Hillis.

Great looking team, despite having Romo.

i want to add another top tier wr, but i haven't had much feedback/no counters on my trade offers. i've been trying to package williams/moore/washington or williams/benson/moore/washington for a top tier wr w no luck.

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

Kevin Smith or Ced Benson? Detriot might finally get this Leshore kid in the game so I'm leaning towrds Benson.

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

Kevin Smith. Benson doesn't get the ball much as is and he's going against a better defense. KS will still be the main guy sunday for detroit

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

So last second fantasy question. With Garcon out, should I start Hankerson (since he's starting) or should I just stick with Greg Jennings/Randall Cobb

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

I did the previously unthinkable and started Roethlisberger ahead of Rodgers in fantasy today, and so far it's worked out for me.

Don't you hate it when people propose dumbass trades to you?


The players he wanted to get rid of:
Anquan Boldin
Percy Harvin
Shonn Greene
Dennis Pita



My players he wanted:
Dez Bryant
Julio Jones
Christian Ponder
Matt Forte



This dude knows that I'm not a idiot, but it blows my mind he still sends shit like this. This should probably go into "Grinds my Gears"....lol

Good call on this, I get stupid shit like Brandon Lloyd for Larry Fitzgerald. I usually reply with a message like...are you kidding me? if it happens again from the same person, ill send a message along the lines of "dont send me anymore trade offers"

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

I have a WR dilemma this week.

Here are my WRs;

Cobb, Jennings, Brandon Marshall, Andre Hawkins. Should I go with both packers against the saints, or just Marshall and Jennings although Marshall has been streaky and is going against a tough cowboys D/secondary. Or Hawkins who has been lighting up the NFL field getting double digit fantasy points, going against the Jags.

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

If Jennings is back healthy, you have to go with him and Marshall. If any doubts about his health, replace him with Hawkins.

Cobb isn't consistent yet, I own him on a few teams. Now, if you're in a return-yardage league, Cobb is a must-start.

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

I'd go with Jennings and Hawkins.

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

Okay, It's a PPR league and here is my roster:
WR: Nicks, Garcon, Bowe, Amendola
RB: Peterson, F. Jackson, LeShoure, P. Thomas
TE's: K. Rudolph, J. Gresham

We start: 2 RB's, 2 WR's, TE and a RB/TE/WR Flex
I am going with WR - Nicks, Bowe; RB - Peterson, LeShoure; TE - Rudolph.

Who to use in the flex? Gresham, P. Thomas, Jackson, Garcon or Amendola?

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

Also, benched Brees v. G.Bay for Flacco v. Cleveland.

Thoughts? Anyone think that's crazy? I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around benching Brees.

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

As to lowball trades, I guess it depends. It may just be a feeler, to let you know they are interested but unsure of what you would be willing to accept. For lowballs, I generally reject if I have no interest or, sometimes, if slightly interested make an equally preposterous counter offer. If actually interested in off-loading the targeted player, I'll counter offfer with something I consider reasonable.

I guess it's all how you view the negotiations process. I've made a few lowball offers that ended up with good substantive trades benifitting both parties.

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

Another general question to the group - how many leagues do you all participate in?
I am currently in 2 but have done 3. After that, I tend to lose track of who I am rooting for to do what.

For folks who do more than 4 or 5, how do figure out who to root for? Or is it just a matter of "I'll play lots in hopes I hit the right combo somewhere"?

Play in 5, 4 free and 1 pay. I will tend to have a couple guys on multiple teams as starters or sleepers.

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

I'm in 2 leagues and I'm 3-0 in both. Build balance across your teams and you can win consistently. Its that easy. However Fantasy football involves a lot of luck and finding late round gems. I got RG3 in round 9 and he now starts over Tom Brady for me.

I picked RG3 in the 3rd round and everyone laughed at me.. well he's like top 5 every week in qb points so..

someone in my league picked him in the first round and garcon in the 2nd...for a week those were Excellent picks. Now there just great picks with Garcon still injured.

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

2 free leagues (1-2 and 0-3), 1 money league (3-0).
in the money league they took griff w the 1st pick in the 4th round.

6 LeSean McCoy, Phi RB
15 Matt Forte, Chi RB
26 Larry Fitzgerald, Ari WR
35 Hakeem Nicks, NYG WR
46 Jamaal Charles, KC RB
55 Tony Romo, Dal QB

95 DeAngelo Williams, Car RB
106 C.J. Spiller, Buf RB

any changes you would make?

Re: Fantasy Football 2012 Thread
 

Robert Griffin III
(Was - QB)

Julio Jones
(Atl - WR)

Malcom Floyd
(SD - WR)

Alfred Morris
(Was - RB)

BenJarvus Green-Ellis
(Cin - RB)

Martellus Bennett
(NYG - TE)

Trent Richardson
(Cle - RB)

Jason Hanson
(Det - K)

Cleveland
(Cle - DEF)

In my league, I think it's a toss up between RGIII and Matt Ryan as top 2 qb's. I picked up RGIII in the 4th rd of my draft, and felt strange when I benched Brady for him...I wanna start Garcon, but don't trust that situation yet.
