2012 Fantasy Football Thread

[MLSKINS]

This is my first time really playing fantasy, and I learned a tough lesson this week...stick to your guns. I benched Morris and Brees, and they both punished me for it.

Drew, Alfred, I promise to never bench you again, regardless of who you're playing or what the CBS fantasy "experts" say about your matchups. I lost by 8 points this week, but if I would've played Brees and Alfred Morris, I would've won by 30...

Who did you start over them Chewy?

Guys, who would you rather give up (for a WR) - Peyton Manning or RG3? Here are their remaining schedule:

Peyton
Pats
Bengals
Panthers
Chargers (twice)
Chiefs (twice)
Bucs
Raiders
Ravens
Browns

RG3
NFC East (6)
Falcons
Vikes
Steelers
Panthers
Ravens
Browns

In a standard scoring league, RGIII is going to be more valuable because he will rush and score TD's running as well as throwing.

Think of it this way. For every 4 td's he scores on the ground, Peyton has to throw for 6 td's.

Not to mention that his rushing yards could for a lot more than Peyton's throwing yards.

I started Matt Ryan over Brees (which seemed like a good idea at the time because Brees was getting sacked a ton and yards lost on sacks hurts a lot in my league)

and Darren McFadden over Morris (Tampa Bay had the #1 rushing defense in the NFL against Alfridazen, and McFadden was known to always beast out on the Broncos)

Peyton. Even if RG3 hits a rookie wall, he will still get you some decent points because of his rushing yards and low interceptions.

I started Matt Ryan over Brees (which seemed like a good idea at the time because Brady was getting sacked a ton and yards lost on sacks hurts a lot in my league)

and Darren McFadden over Morris (Tampa Bay had the #1 rushing defense in the NFL against Alfridazen, and McFadden was known to always beast out on the Broncos)

Who was the other RB you started. I would have started Brees against GB though. I knew that was going to be a shootout.

I remember in the ESL2 Draft room I was laughed at for drafting RG3 in the 3rd round.

Now who is laughing!!!!

[Shredmojo]

before yesterdays game I was down 70-107... Bears Def and Brandon Marshall and I won 113-107. That was pretty wild.

Now I just have to decide who to flex this week...Forte or CJ Spiller and which WR to go with Nate Washington or Garcon

[skinsfan07]

Just traded Michael Turner, Boldn and Russy Wilson to a dude for Tannehill, Decker and Hank-Time. PPR league. I think I got the better end of the deal. BTW, I'm 3-1 and have scored the most points in the league. Have McCoy, Morris and Spiller, and Murray as RB's. Good deal?

I feel like Boldin, and Turner are inconsistent and Decker and Hank are more reliable.

I was up by 4 and I was done. He had Miles Austin. Austin gave him exactly 4 points. Our first tie in our league after about 5 years. We have a tiebreaker system, but for some unknown reason, we could not break the tie.

Morris I'd watch as to who we play, but I'd never take Brees out. I have them both on the same team and I'm going to stick with Morris and sub in Steven Jackson and Darren McFadden as my 2nd RB each week. I took out Dwayne Bowe for Marques Colston, but I should have kept Bowe and not had Desean Jackson in. Bowe would have given me the win.

If you have Ryan and Brees you should look into trading one of them. No need for both.

Guys, need some advice. This guy in my league sent me a message today that he wants Matt Ryan BAD, and to make him an offer. I've got Drew Brees, so I'm not really worried about letting Ryan go and looking to shop him while he's still hot.

Would I be asking too much to ask for Rob Gronkowski and London Fletcher for Matt Ryan? His current starting QB is Alex Smith, and Matt Ryan is literally doubling the points that Smith puts up so far...

You might actually be asking too little, but if you want to give him a good deal, seems pretty solid to me.

[No Excuses]

At least people in your leagues make trades. In my league, no one trusts each other. It's been like that for about three years now.

[HogNose]

Who should I start? RG3 or Matt Ryan? I'm leaning towards Ryan but of course the homer in me says start RG3.

I took your advice

[Fight4RGIII]

Is it crazy for me to offer McFadden and Cutler for RG3?

It's a 14 man PPR league, 5 point Pass TDs all other TDs are worth 6. My other running backs are Turner, D. Williams, and Leshoure. My Qbs are Cutler and Ponder/Tannehill(might pick him up). Only 3-4 starting qbs left in the waiver wire.
