I'm having some trouble setting my lineup this week in fantasy football. On paper before the season I thought I had a great team but of course everyone is under performing. I have Wes Welker locked into the #1 WR spot. I need 2 RBs, 1 WR and a flex from these guys- CJ Spiller, Stevan Ridley, Frank Gore, Giovani Bernard, Pierre Garcon, Josh Gordon. It is a standard league (non PPR). Anyone have some advice? Thanks in advance!October 18, 2013 at 08:47PM View BBCode
josh gordon 100% every weekOctober 18, 2013 at 09:53PM View BBCode
Haha me to. I always go into the season thinking I have a super team but between busts and injuries never really do that well :(October 18, 2013 at 09:54PM View BBCode
But thanks for the advice! I got Gordon in like the 12th round, knew he was gonna be a beast :)October 18, 2013 at 11:16PM View BBCode
I'd go Bernard and Gore at RB and use Gordon and Garcon in the other 2 slots, Chicago has had trouble against the pass so I just have a feeling Garcon could have a big day.October 20, 2013 at 02:48AM View BBCode

avoid Ridley, nobody can run on Big Snacks and the boys! I'd go with Gore and Bernard i think at RB, but if Spiller's healthy, probly dont wanna sit him. Between him and Garcon for flex.
I should note that I'm historically about a .500 fantasy football player.

Maybe I should have started Ridley lol. Just ran in for a TD :(

I picked Spiller with my #1 pick. Should have picked Jamaal Charles instead.... I nabbed KC defense of waivers in week three, that is my highest scoring "team". I think I'd be ready to quit if I had your team. ;)October 25, 2013 at 05:55PM View BBCode

So this week I'm going with Gore and Ridley and the RB spots and Welker and Garcon at WR. I'm not sure about flex though, I have Gordon in a tough matchup against KC, plus Jason Campbell (gag) is starting. My other option is Bernard in another bad matchup against the Jets second ranked run defense.October 25, 2013 at 08:53PM View BBCode
id use Bernard over Gordon. I wouldn't expect much in the way of rushing yards, but he should be good for some screens and dumpoffs. I think the Browns are gonna be a disaster, but then again that could mean some garbage time production for Gordon.October 27, 2013 at 05:01AM View BBCode

In one league I currently have Nicks-Michael Floyd-Boykin penciled in with Josh Gordon on the bench...
i have Charles in both of my leagues :lol:

Seems Gordon, Gore and Ridley had decent games. And Spiller didn't play... Jason Campbell had a decent game too. almost 300 passing yards, 2 TDs and 0 picks.October 29, 2013 at 01:58AM View BBCode
Yup, I left Spiller on the bench. Ridley was solid, Gordon and Gore were excellent. Bengals D gave me the win this week with 24 fantasy points off my Jets.October 31, 2013 at 02:52PM View BBCode
My first four picks were - Doug Martin, Andre Johnson, Roddy White and Marques Colston.November 01, 2013 at 05:49PM View BBCode
Yikes. IMO, this is the time of year that leagues are won. Being able to nab the up and comers, and the people that replace all the injured players. I picked 6th, and am now deciding, it is best to pick the best player available, rather than pick the leftovers of a position. Where would I be if I'd picked Calvin Johnson instead of CJ Spiller? If I'd gone with J Charles instead though, I'd probably be a little happier!November 01, 2013 at 06:23PM View BBCode
Off to a good start this week. Bengals D only gave me a disappointing 6 points but Bernard had a great game going for 104 total yards and 2 TDs on just 13 touches. His 35 yard touchdown run was amazing. Maybe the best run by anyone this season.November 01, 2013 at 06:23PM View BBCode

I picked 3rd in a 12 team league. Somehow I am sitting at 4-4 and still in the race for a playoff spot.

No kidding it has been my later players saving me so far. Antonio Brown, Danny Woodhead and Le'Veon Bell all picked on the later side along with Vernon Davis and Tony Romo (5th and 6th picks).November 06, 2013 at 05:57PM View BBCode
You need Mike James to replace martin... 20+ points in week 9. 166 rush/receive yards and a 2 yard TD pass. I didn't start him, thankfully didn't need him.November 06, 2013 at 06:10PM View BBCode
We was grabbed up already, we have a W to F waiver process for the first WW pick each week. I have Danny Woodhead and Le'Veon Bell for RBs so I am pretty set there as both teams have had their bye already.November 07, 2013 at 06:20PM View BBCode
I got Danny of waivers a few weeks ago. He may have saved my season!November 14, 2013 at 04:21AM View BBCode
I have been offered this trade. I would give up Matt Ryan and Josh Gordon (possibly Roddy White as well, but I am trying to convince him out of it) in exchange for Drew Brees and possibly Steve Smith. My roster is C.J. Spiller, Stevan Ridley, Giovani Bernard, Frank Gore, Wes Welker, Roddy White, Pierre Garcon, Josh Gordon, James Jones, Matt Ryan, Jay Cutler (will be dropped shortly), Greg Olsen, Heath Miller (will be dropped shortly), Cinci D, and Mason Crosby. Should I pull the trigger?November 14, 2013 at 08:03AM View BBCode
i think i would. my main concern would be Brees' schedule. Assuming your league's championship is in Week 16, 4 of the Saints final 6 fantasy weeks are on the road, where Brees is very good, but not the #1 option he is at the Superdome. In my league's scoring, he's scored no fewer than 31 points in his last 4 home games, and no more than 19 in his last 4 road games. Compounding this, the 2 games he is home for come against 2 of the top D's in the league, 9ers and Panthers. Perhaps you could use that argument to retain White in the deal. Even with the schedule, Brees is still a clear upgrade on Ryan. Losing Gordon is tough, but Garcon-Welker-random WR3 is still very good (is Crabtree owned?)Pages: 1 2
