OFFICIAL 2014 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD

I got Matt Ryan tonight, I hate that it's a thursday night game. Seems like thursday nights never yield great fantasy numbers due to a short week of rest for the teams. Anyone Ryan owners benching him tonight?
 
Picked up Alfred Blue but now im thinking if I should drop him for Davante Adams, Or if I should drop someone else for him.

A.Johnson
C.Patterson
J.Gordon

I have a seperate trade of my Asiata and Mike Evans for his Keenan Allen in the mix as well.

So my team would either be

McCoy
Sproles/Bush
Keenan Allen
Demaryius
Reggie Wayne

Or

McCoy
Bush/Chris Johnson
Keenan Allen
Demaryius
Cobb
 
I'd probably sit Ball for Asiata or Fred Jackson just this week. Going against Seattle, especially at Seattle, has been rough for RB's.

Someone is shopping Laveon Bell in my league. Due to AP's concerns should I offer Alshon Jeffrey? He is looking for a WR.

RB - AP, Rashad Jenning, Terrance West, Matt Asiata, Lamar Miller

WR - Antonio Brown, Alshon Jeffrey, Terrance WIlliams, Torrey Smith, Andrew Hawkins

Should I start Zona D vs. 9ers or pick up Ravens vs. Browns for the week? I think 9ers will be out for blood after that terrible ending Sunday.

really?

so where did sproles go in your draft?

always thought return yards should be set off against the yardage given up on defense for the D/ST.. just to help teams who have good returns that don't always score TDs

and spiller should be huge in that format, since he's getting 20-30 yards at least every time they put him back there
Sproles went Rd 4 in a 12 team, he is KILLING IT in our league.  I have McCoy as well and he has outscored McCoy every week.  I was able to get Spiller Rd 5 so I thought that was pretty good.
 
Sit Dez (marked as questionable) for Brian Quick?

Two out of: Kniles Davis, LeVeon Bell, Lynch, Pierre Thomas? Currently starting Lynch and Bell, but Lynch is questionable.
 
Is Sproles really gonna keep this up all year though? I just don't know if I can trust it yet.
 
Flex rankings for you folks with flex quagmires:

Well, this has been another fun week so far, eh? Injuries and suspensions and, oh my, all that depth you once had after the draft is suddenly not so special anymore. And here's some more good news: Bye weeks start in Week 4! So that's right, the decisions might become easier because you'll have fewer options at your disposal, but ultimately the bye weeks make roster decisions less satisfying, especially in the flex position, because there aren't enough strong options. Regardless, welcome to Week 3 as we combine the top running backs, wide receivers and tight ends and try to make sense of things. That might be the toughest part.

Best of luck to all in Week 3 and beyond!

1. LeSean McCoy, RB, Eagles: Some believe the emergence of his backup is hurting McCoy's value, but he's actually seeing more touches per game than he was last year. It's early. You certainly can't trust the other top-three running backs from draft day right now!

2. DeMarco Murray, RB, Cowboys: Surprise! Hey, nobody said he wasn't good at football. He's really good. We just worried about health and some foolishly believed this franchise's dreadful defense would mean no running game. Silly people!

3. Arian Foster, RB, Texans: So far, so good, but he's also seeing a ton of touches, so look for that to be kept in check in the coming weeks.

Marshawn Lynch hopes to put up big numbers against a Broncos defense that allowed 133 yards rushing to the Chiefs in Week 2.
4. Marshawn Lynch, RB, Seahawks: Don’t fret about the measly six rushing attempts in Week 2. The back problem doesn't appear to be a big deal.

5. Giovani Bernard, RB, Bengals: Yep, this is a list for standard formats. He's pretty good in PPR, too.

6. Calvin Johnson, WR, Lions: Still dominant after all these years.

7. Matt Forte, RB, Bears: Slow start, but a good time to trade for him.

8. Eddie Lacy, RB, Packers: Also a slow start and a good time to acquire. Remember, last year Lacy did little the first two weeks, and he ended up fine.

9. Alfred Morris, RB, ********: Doesn't matter to him who's playing quarterback.

10. Jordy Nelson, WR, Packers: People are whining I haven't ranked him well enough. He's 10th!

11. Brandon Marshall, WR, Bears: Too many people missed out on his three-touchdown game, but blame the Bears, not analysts. It was risky because it was a night game.

12. C.J. Spiller, RB, Bills: Nobody said he couldn't thrive on returns. We're just worried it gets him hurt.

13. Dez Bryant, WR, Cowboys

14. Zac Stacy, RB, Rams

15. Le'Veon Bell, RB, Steelers

16. Antonio Brown, WR, Steelers: Picking up where he left off last season. Who covers him is largely irrelevant.

17. Julio Jones, WR, Falcons

18. Jimmy Graham, TE, Saints

19. Montee Ball, RB, Broncos: Has 40 touches in two weeks. No worries here. Not a great matchup this week, but you can't sit him.

20. Demaryius Thomas, WR, Broncos

21. Knile Davis, RB, Chiefs: This obviously presumes Jamaal Charles can't suit up, which seemed a given a few days ago, but apparently isn't. Just make sure, because if Charles plays, you won't play Davis.

22. Andre Ellington, RB, Cardinals: Has a new backup running back thanks to Jonathan Dwyer getting deactivated by the team, but it doesn't really matter to Ellington.

23. Julian Edelman, WR, Patriots: I think another 100-reception season is pending.

24. Randall Cobb, WR, Packers

25. Stevan Ridley, RB, Patriots: I think a 1,000-yard season is pending.

[+] EnlargeDarren Sproles

Darren Sproles' 37 standard fantasy points are the most he's ever scored in consecutive games in his career.
26. Darren Sproles, RB, Eagles: Love the guy, but it's not a bad time to float his name out there in trade talks. He can't keep things up to this level.

27. Andre Johnson, WR, Texans

28. Alshon Jeffery, WR, Bears

29. Rashad Jennings, RB, Giants: Will he be the lone bright spot on this offense? I think there's upside.

30. Vincent Jackson, WR, Buccaneers: Don't give up on this talented guy. Big games coming.

31. Frank Gore, RB, 49ers

32. Roddy White, WR, Falcons

33. Julius Thomas, TE, Broncos

34. Jeremy Maclin, WR, Eagles: Still healthy and on pace for big enough numbers.

35. Chris Johnson, RB, Jets

36. Joique Bell, RB, Lions: Neither Lions running back did much last week. That should change.

37. Mike Wallace, WR, Dolphins: There's little question this guy has game. Dolphins are enjoying this.

38. Pierre Garcon, WR, ********

39. Pierre Thomas, RB, Saints

40. Marques Colston, WR, Saints: I'm surprised how people are giving up on him. Saints are headed home. It will get a lot better.

41. Reggie Wayne, WR, Colts

42. Keenan Allen, WR, Chargers

43. Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Vikings

44. Reggie Bush, RB, Lions

45. Percy Harvin, WR, Seahawks: One target in Week 2. One. I still think people are overrating him some.

46. Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Broncos

47. Lamar Miller, RB, Dolphins: No Knowshon Moreno for a while, but something tells me Miller won't really emerge as special.

48. Sammy Watkins, WR, Bills: The key for trusting rookies in fantasy is if they're consistent. It's still possible with Watkins.

49. Golden Tate, WR, Lions

50. Bernard Pierce, RB, Ravens: His many carries and yards in Week 2 changed his narrative quickly.

51. Doug Martin, RB, Buccaneers: He needs a game like Pierce had in Week 2. I'm skeptical.

[+] EnlargeBradshaw

Ahmad Bradshaw not only has 10 catches already, but has more yards receiving (96) than rushing (85) thus far.
52. Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, Colts: OK, I trust he can keep playing well more than I do his colleague, you know, the one the Colts traded a first-round pick for.

53. Eric Decker, WR, Jets

54. Michael Floyd, WR, Cardinals

55. Khiry Robinson, RB, Saints: Mark Ingram is out a month and Robinson should get the touches. I think he's a must-own in this offense.

56. Greg Olsen, TE, Panthers

57. Michael Crabtree, WR, 49ers

58. Rob Gronkowski, TE, Patriots

59. Wes Welker, WR, Broncos: Welcome back! Now go face the Seahawks.

60. Shane Vereen, RB, Patriots: Way too much preseason love for him.

61. Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Cardinals

62. Kendall Wright, WR, Titans

63. Fred Jackson, RB, Bills

64. DeSean Jackson, WR, ********: Couldn't have more motivation for this game. But the Eagles will be prepared for him.

65. Matt Asiata, RB, Vikings: Well, it's his job now. I don't own Adrian Peterson in any leagues but man, what a drag, eh? Asiata isn't going to replace his numbers.

66. Chris Ivory, RB, Jets

67. Steve Smith, WR, Ravens

68. Brandin Cooks, WR, Saints

69. Victor Cruz, WR, Giants: I dropped my laptop while typing his analysis.

70. Steven Jackson, RB, Falcons: His owners want to cut him, but he's not struggling. He's just not getting a ton of touches. Be patient.

71. Bobby Rainey, RB, Buccaneers: I like him better than Martin, but not sure the Bucs agree.

72. Anquan Boldin, WR, 49ers

73. Trent Richardson, RB, Colts

74. Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Panthers

75. Donald Brown, RB, Chargers: Ryan Mathews is out a while and Brown should get 15 touches, at least.

76. Toby Gerhart, RB, Jaguars: Hasn't shown much so far, but the Jaguars can't be this bad every game.

77. Terrance West, RB, Browns

78. Torrey Smith, WR, Ravens

79. Danny Woodhead, RB, Chargers

80. Darren McFadden, RB, Raiders: Yes, he's still in the league. And he's the highest-ranking Raider, though I thought about putting Mark van Eeghen in.

81. DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Texans

82. T.Y. Hilton, WR, Colts

83. Terrance Williams, WR, Cowboys

84. Shonn Greene, RB, Titans: OK, so he will not get the football when the Titans trail. We get it.

[+] EnlargeJeremy Hill

Jeremy Hill's touches may fluctuate each week, but he's shown he can be productive.
85. Jeremy Hill, RB, Bengals: Can't be assured the Bengals will have a big lead every week, but what if Hill splits the touches in close games? Bernard owners won't be pleased.

86. Dennis Pitta, TE, Ravens

87. Justin Hunter, WR, Titans: Everything you thought about him being a sleeper can still come true, so try to be patient.

88. Dwayne Bowe, WR, Chiefs

89. Greg Jennings, WR, Vikings

90. Zach Ertz, TE, Eagles

91. DeAngelo Williams, RB, Panthers: Might not play again this week, but if you're relying on him, wow.

92. James Jones, WR, Raiders

93. Andrew Hawkins, WR, Browns: Still think the Browns’ offense is a joke?

94. Mohamed Sanu, WR, Bengals: I did not rank A.J. Green because I think he will not play, but if he does, he'd be among my top-10 wide receivers. Just so you know.

95. Antonio Gates, TE, Chargers

96. Martellus Bennett, TE, Bears

97. Brian Quick, WR, Rams

98. Riley Cooper, WR, Eagles

99. Vernon Davis, TE, 49ers

100. Justin Forsett, RB, Ravens

Others: Bishop Sankey, RB, Titans; Markus Wheaton, WR, Steelers; Jonathan Stewart, RB, Panthers; Stepfan Taylor, RB, Cardinals; Isaiah Crowell, RB, Browns; Jerick McKinnon, RB, Vikings; Miles Austin, WR, Browns; Rueben Randle, WR, Giants; Mike Evans, WR, Buccaneers; Maurice Jones-Drew, RB, Raiders; Carlos Hyde, RB, 49ers; LeGarrette Blount, RB, Steelers.
 
Drop Rudolph for Kelce? My other TE is Donnell. :smh:
I would. Rudolph is TD or bust, his QB play is unreliable. With Charles out, there's more incentive to throw to Kelce. He has major upside.

Thinking of subbing in Asiata for Terrance West for my RB2(Browns playing against Baltimore).

I got gio as my RB1 and Vereen at the flex
I would play Asiata over West. Baltimore doesn't give up rush TD easily.

I got Matt Ryan tonight, I hate that it's a thursday night game. Seems like thursday nights never yield great fantasy numbers due to a short week of rest for the teams. Anyone Ryan owners benching him tonight?
For who?

Picked up Alfred Blue but now im thinking if I should drop him for Davante Adams, Or if I should drop someone else for him.

I'd drop Geno for Adams. He's not worth a roster spot for one week, Cam's bye.

Should I sit ball for Asiata? Both ball and lacy haven't really impressed me and ball is going against Seattle this week. Have pats D and pats kicker
I'd start Pierre Thomas instead of Asiata for Ball.

And Pitta over Gates.
 
Someone is shopping Laveon Bell in my league. Due to AP's concerns should I offer Alshon Jeffrey? He is looking for a WR.

Offer Torrey Smith and Asiata instead.

Scoop Ravens for Week 3.

Brandon Marshall

Fair Trade? I also have Cutler
I think you're losing this one by a slight margin. Marshall is a monster in PPR, but so was Garcon last year. Allen is better than Crabby, and Evans is a bonus (WR3/WR4 option).

Sit Dez (marked as questionable) for Brian Quick?

Two out of: Kniles Davis, LeVeon Bell, Lynch, Pierre Thomas? Currently starting Lynch and Bell, but Lynch is questionable.
Dez was back at practice today. He's a top-5 fantasy WR this week. Play him.

Seattle is just managing Lynch's back, hence being held out of practice, start him as RB1. RB2 I'd give to Davis only this week.

Is Ellington worth the start against SF?
Over who?
