Fantasy Football Discussion Thread - 2017 Season

What y'all think, start 2 out of these 3, flex spot can include a 2nd QB

Jamaal Williams GB RB
Alex Collins RB Ravens
Andy Dalton

PPR scoring

So basically start 3 RBs (already have Hyde locked in),

Or start dalton and which RB?

Man, I really need to get into one of these leagues that awards huge payouts for regular season finishes before the fantasy playoffs even begin.

Bench AB for Josh Gordon, Woodhead, Marquis Lee or roll the dice? If AB sits I have Lafell as a last resort..

Hold on AB and pop in Lafell if you have to, your other options are pretty terrible outside of maybe Lee

Yeah my league I won the last 2 regular seasons and 2nd place, bigger payout than league champ

This year though I basically have to win to get in the playoffs this week, unless another guy at 6-6 loses I should have enough points to make it in if we both lose.

Diggs or Freeman as my Flex in a standard league? It's Free's first game back from concussion and my opponent has Thielen.

Tough matchups for both freeman and diggs, flip a coin. I'd probably lean freeman just for more chances to break a big couple plays for yards and honestly probably more likely to get a td or 2 than diggs. Rudolph and thielen sucking up all the Viking red zone passing looks.

I was leaning towards Freeman too. Coleman played well last week, so I feel like he might not get the same amount of touches this week. I'm not too confident in either guy tbh. Maybe I should bench both for Hunter Henry, who has good match up with CLE.

I'm not too familiar with PPR. I'd go Collins for sure. Then it's a toss up between the other 2. I think Williams has another good week.

Collins and Williams

Last week I lost by .5

My opponent had Devonta Freeman active as his RB1 (he did not play)

The only other RB on his roster was Chris Ivory.

If he had correctly (?) played the active player, Ivory's fumble would have lost him the game and clinched me a spot in the playoffs.

I lost because my opponent correctly chose to not play anyone in one of his spots.

I hate Fantasy Football.

Yah that's what I've been thinking but Collins doesn't exactly put up a ton of points and with wood head back im sort of thinking dalton in a must win home matchup. My opponent has schuster on mon and I know that doesn't actually matter but it's like a mind security layer knowing you have one more player when they do too lol.

Ok. I'm rolling with Hyde/Howard/Thielen.

Feels weird not starting funchess, but I've got the playoffs locked up already. This game is just for the #3/4 seed.

Alex Smith, now you want to throw touchdowns?! *RIPS HAIR OUT*

Damn Kelce about to drop a 40 bomb this week

I'm just happy to have a Tight End get on the board with an early TD for once - even if it's not Olsen as I had planned.
Wound up rolling the dice on Brate after all. Winston being back boosts his outlook tremendously. Doubly so with the Bucs run game circling the drain.

I Went with jack Doyle instead of brate. Brate's numbers were so bad with fitz at QB. It was very shocking.

Already cut bait on Aaron Jones in one league after his usage - or lack thereof - in the first quarter.
Williams is running well. Jones' usage means I can't use him next week and his schedule Weeks 15-16 (Panthers, Vikings) is outright garbage.

I should have started Cohen.

My FF inexperience is starting to bite me in the ass

I picked Brate back up at the right time, I guess. Drafted Olsen at the start, dropped him for Brate, then dropped Brate again for him last week, only to now drop him... for Brate. FULL CIRCLE.

I wish I could drop Olsen. An IR designation would be welcome at this point.

Burkhead was a good pickup :)

Woodhead doing nothing though

Evans and Cooks aren't making this a happy morning so far

Brate The Great with TD Number 2 on the day.

Benching Shepard for Seth Roberts; not taking any chances on Geno Smith until I see that he's not crap.
Especially with the kill switch poised to be flipped on McAdoo.

I suspect the Nathan Peterman Show will be back on in Buffalo next week.
How many interceptions will he throw this time, I wonder?

Oh now Tyreke shows up.

Benched him for Nuk

glad i started collins

My bench went off today.

Tyreek Hill
Rex Burkhead
Dak got more points than Brady
Denver DST got more points than the Vikings.

87 points on the bench when I only have 65 in play. Only have Kamara and Jake Elliot left.

I can afford to lose, but I talked A LOT of shit to this person.

I played
Brady
Lewis
Sanu
Crowder (fuck you)
Gronk (thank you)
Kelce (thank you)

I need Kamara to have a repeat of last week and Elliot to get his usual double digits or else work is going to be miserable tomorrow.

I mean, 8 points Brady, really? We couldn't throw? Just throw one TD to Gronk or Lewis. One was all I needed.

Jets/Chiefs overtime would be great though.

My squad shit the bed. Time to look forward to next week!

McCown and Collins saving my season..

Getting blown out by 40pt :(

My opponent has Kelce and looks like Ingram is going off....

At least I'm locked in the playoffs but still....

Benching Shepard for Roberts is looking like the correct call.
That said, I also benched Roberts for Antonio Brown... time will tell whether that was astute or whether that decision blows up in my face.
Move had to be made up against Tyreek Hill.

Could mean the difference between winding up #1 overall or likely falling to 3rd and being up against the hottest team in the league during Week 15.

So I benched A.Smith for Tyrod. FML

Luckily McCown and Gronk! kept me in the running. What a week

Josh Gordon ended up having a decent game, should give owners some confidence to start him next week against Green Bay at home. My god Kizer is terrible but at least he targeted Gordon a ton.

Big dilemma for next week is Kareem Hunt. I just can't bench him even though I know he is going to kill everyone who starts him. It's a good match up against the Raiders at home. My lineup for first round of the playoffs will probably be

Rivers
Gurley
Hunt
Robbie Anderson
J. Gordon
Burkhead (flex)
Engram
Bills D
Lutz

Officially finishing the regular season 6-7, losers bracket here I come

picked up rodgers right before kickoff but now I have to figure out which QB I want to let go ROS

currently have cousins, goff and rodgers. Was thinking about letting cousins go because how injury ridden the oline and his wr's/rb's are but I don't know. We have 2 week playoffs starting week 15 and i'm guaranteed a spot. I can lose next week and still make it in. In the worst case scenario that rodgers doesn't come back, the week 15 matchup goff has sucks (at seattle but it isn't impossible due to injuries) and the week 16 one is gravy

up 87.8 to 71.6. I have Alshon to go and he has Mixon to go

I would have been better off starting Gordon over nearly all my other WR/TE. D Thomas was awful (not that I should expect anything from Denver players at this point given the QB situation), Julio Jones had an off week, and DeSean Jackson did poorly. Cooper Kupp did fine. Woodhead wasn't a good start at RB and he had only a couple of catches, so that didn't help much. Hyde was ineffective this week. I guess Morris was the better start, but who would have expected that before Thursday night.

I need Ertz and the Seattle D to tank it tonight and for Graham to go into beast mode to even have a chance at winning and securing myself a playoff berth. Even with a loss I may make it into the playoffs but it'll be either a 5/6th seed.

So I clinched my main league regular season. Up 133-67 with my kicker Boswell against my opponent's Russell Wilson, so it's over. That's $300 right there.

In my other league, I decided to play Alshon Jeffery over Antonio Brown. I have Wilson in this league, and I'm down 8 going into tonight with my opponent's WR2 left to play. The only realistic chance I have of losing is if my WR2 puts up a zero, so I'll take Alshon's floor over the risk AB doesn't play. I can clinch that league with a win next week (14 week regular season in that one).

Can my boy Jake Elliot get some kicks, PLEASE?!

I hate how close my game is. 92 points currently, but left Burkhead, Hill and Lee on the bench. This shit should be done already.

3 league updates

1• scored 159 despite only getting only 2 from Tyrod(I'm out of moves)
2• Up by 24 with AJ left to my opponents Bell and Pit K
3• Down by 8(pending on tonight's outcome) but i have Mixon and Kroft left.

Possible sweep?

Why did I start Jeffery over Agholor :( I hate having 2 Eagles WR's lol

So I'm up by 20.3 and he has Mixon going tomorrow, hopefully I can pull this off and go 2-0 in this 5 game toilet bowl.

I'm up 93 to 79 and he has Big Ben left. * sigh *

Well, if Tom Brady can have an 8 point game ... I'm fucked aren't I?

I'm down by 10.69 points in my 0.5 PPR league showdown with the #1 seed in a bid for the top playoff seed heading into the Monday nighter.

Crazymoogle has AJ Green.
I have Joe Mixon and Antonio Brown... OR Joe Mixon and the return yardage from Alex Erickson.

Needless to say, hopefully I have Antonio Brown. We'll find out soon enough.

Sorry bro, for my sake, I gotta hope you don't have him.

Ertz being injured is concerning, especially since I picked up Olsen and his play status is up in the air.

I didn't realize Brown was questionable tomorrow. I don't have a backup plan but I'm not gonna worry about it as I'll still be in 1st. If he does play, I'm down 3.2 with Brown left against Green.

Happy to see Alex Smith/Tyreek Hill finally show back up big for me this week. I'm at 126 with AJ and Juju still to play tomorrow, he's at 91 with Steeler's D.

First round bye, here I come.

The #2 in my second league would have lost tonight if his opponent had set his lineup, which includes Kamara on the bench. That would have clinched me the regular season title, and I would have won $420 today instead of $300.

I'm still in the driver's seat, but my opponent next week was the highest scoring team this week. I've out scored him by close to 200 points on the year though, so I should be the favorite.
