Richardson has pretty much become a bust. I was high on him before the year too

[Jason]

I think Richardson is just not a very good running back. It's obvious that he was way overhyped. This season has been a disaster in terms of pre season RB rankings.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

You said it Skins.  In the AngelsWin 12-team free league, the first round looked like this: 

1.  Peterson; 2.  Foster; 3.  Lynch; 4.  Rice;  5.  Spiller;  6.  Martin;  7.  Charles; 8.  Richardson; 9.  Megatron; 10.  Kaepernick; 11.  Rodgers;  12.  McCoy

 

Seven of 12 first rounders are gonna turn out as disappointments due to performance, injury or both.  Second round had Steven Jackson and David Wilson, who have been complete busts, and Alfred Morris, who has likely been frustrating to own since Shanahan keeps giving his goal-line TD's to other backs.  Not counting Morris, 7 of the top-15 RB's drafted have sucked.  Gotta feel bad for Brady GagGag who drafted Doug Martin in round 1 and David Wilson in round 2.

Fantasy has always been about spotting and picking up the studs off the waiver wire. Whether it's the KC D or Zach Stacy. Simply auto-selecting and thinking youre done is for fools.

Kaepernick was the first QB taken? Yikes!!

[OregonLAA]

I like that list because my guy isn't highlighted.

And Brandon is spot on. I honestly think you could make a championship team from guys who weren't drafted

QB Foles

RB Stacy

RB Ellington

WR Boykin

WR T. Williams

WR K. Allen

TE J. Reid

Defense KC

That's just off the top of my head. There might be better guys than that

[Jason]

It's amazing how rosters change and look through the season. My Spiller pick sure was a huge disappointment.

[Jason]

Kaepernick was the first QB taken? Yikes!!

I love playing in leagues with people like this in it. Just refer to my avatar.

[Brandon]

I have a dude in my league like that. He picked almost all the Chargers skill players as a Chargers fan.

 

He's 1-9.

actually, this team would have started 0-4 make that 0-6. Only Foles did anything by week 6.

The team that drafted Kaepernick is doing quite well FYI.  I think they are 7-3.

[xboom28x]

They'd be 10-0 if they drafted Brees or Manning in that spot

The guy who took kaepernick in the aw league 10th overall is 2-8. I'm 4-6 and I put all the blame on spiller

[Crampknees]

Face it you are all doomed....doomed I say.  Quote from Eli's fantasy blog.

I think he means if he was to play that team in the playoffs. He's right. Weeks 2-4 you can find gems and holes in teams. Hell, I picked up Stacy two weeks ago or so, whenever he had a breakout game, merely as a spot start when Spiller and Murray were injured. Same with Ellington. With Josh Gordon, I picked him up while suspended and tucked him away and had huge games from him. Gould and Carolina are also great waiver pick ups, like Foles. 

 

There is always players for free that outperform your regs or that just sit there.

Rg3 @ wash or foles vs wash?

[OregonLAA]

Rg3 @ wash or foles vs wash?

Either one. Both defenses have serious problems

[Brandon]

Philly's d is playing good and foles is lights out. Philly also started their push for the division.

[m0nkey]

Decker @ KC

Amendola @ Carolina

Colston vs SF

Tate @ Minnesota

 

Which two would you start in a PPR

[xboom28x]

Tate @MN. Vikings defense is absurd

 

Colston wouldn't be a bad choice either. I see him duplicating last weeks performance vs SF

You have to start Decker every week. His ceiling is too high

[xboom28x]

Normally I would agree on Decker, but vs KC I don't see his ceiling being as high as it would against other teams.

[xboom28x]

RGIII or Keenum? I'm stuck with these two until Rodgers comes back hopefully in 2 weeks.

[Brandon]

I'm in the same boat. oing Keenum this week, but would rather have RG3

[Aaronkv]

I took Kaep as my QB, but I got him at overall pick #21. I had first overall and got AP. I'm 7-3 in my league but haven't been using Kaep as a starter at all. Picked up Foles for this week. Was using Dalton for a little bit but he's been bad the last 2 weeks.

 

 

Not sure who to start as my TE this week though!

 

Jordan Reed   or

Coby Fleener

 

 

I also have Decker and Welker. Only starting one of those 2 this week. Might be leaning more towards Welker.

My other 2 WRs I'm starting are Keenan Allen and T.Y. Hilton.
