Fantasy Football BBV (Brags, beats, variance)

[Brandon]

I got Heath Miller two weeks ago when Jimmy Graham was on a bye, and subsequent injury. Not going to get much, but better than a zero.

[Chuck]

Trying to win 3 out of the last 4 years in my big money league, I'm a disappointed 4-4 and lost 3 really close ones. Bummer.

 

Be that as it may, I made two trades that I believe will get my team back on track over the next few games and get me into the playoffs.

 

I traded Alfred Morris (my keeper) and Julius Thomas for Adrian Peterson (his keeper). I have Tony Gonzalez at TE.

 

I then traded TY Hilton straight up for Chris Johnson, as I needed some help at RB since the guy I gambled on in the redraft failed me miserably in David Wilson.

 

Team:

 

QB Cam Newton

WR Andre Johnson

WR Eric Decker

RB Adrian Peterson

RB Chris Johnson

TE Tony Gonzalez

K  Blair Walsh

D  KC Chiefs and Tenn Titans

 

Reserves: Andre Ellington, Terence Williams, Mike Tolbert and Kenny Stills.

 

This league uses ever IDP available and my defense is the league's best as far as points. If it wasn't for them, I'd be worse than .500 ...

[Brandon]

Depending on matchups, you may want to go with Ellington. break out games like the one he had always leads to more touches.

Oh yeah, the Cardinals are on a BYE, as is the Broncos so Decker and Ellington are out, Williams and Tolbert are in. Hoping I can win this week.

 

After this week Ellington will be my flex and all will be right in the world unless I have an injury.

My team looks a lot like yours:

Brees

Andre Johnson

Eric Decker

Adrian Peterson

Eddie Lacy

Jason Witten

Blair Walsh

Indy D

Reserves: Steve Smith, Chris Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald

[AngelsLongBall]

So this trade just went down in my league:

Peyton Manning

Giovanni Bernard

for

Jordy Nelson

Jordan Reed

[Brandon]

haha.

the dickhead move by one dude was trading from his team to his girlfriends....which he also drafted....because his team sucks.

Santana Moss

Pierre Thomas

for

Andre Johnson

Someone asked to have it vetoed, but it didn't happen.

[AngelsLongBall]

This was a trade between the #2 team and #4 team.  #4 got Peyton, and I'm right on his heels.  Top 4 make the playoffs.  Collusion much?

[Brandon]

need some help with a RB this week.

I'm going to play Murray even though he is questionable. Sounds like he is good to go and should shred the MINN D.

Here are my options:

Spiller (not likely to play and going against KC D)

Stacy (mild injury, but might play and projects the highest)

Stewart (looks like he comes back this week and with Williams injured should get playing time)

I saw Tolbert was available. Just dropped Helu for Stacy.

Open to any ideas and suggestions.

[Brandon]

Glad no one responded, played Stacy and have the most points by an RB today.

KC D, Stacy, Graham, Garcon. Destroying the dude I'm playing by 50 points and still have Rodgers to go Monday night.

[AngelsLongBall]

All of a sudden I'm looking like a genius for starting Chris Johnson. AP helping as well. Hi, Jason Witten; welcome back to the league

[nate]

I am getting killed for the second week in a row by a team that is under .500.  Byes hit me hard this week.

Went 4-0 last week in my leagues.  I've won my 2 ESPN games already today.  Have a resounding lead in my 10-team CBS league (behind Brees, Russell Wilson, Chiefs D, Keenan Allen, Greg Olson; still have Jordy Nelson and Eddie Lacy tonight).  In my 8-team CBS league, I'm playing #1 (I'm #2) and have a 17 point lead (behind Romo, Keenan Allen again, Panthers D and AJ Green).  He has TY Hilton tonight and Matt Forte tomorrow.  I have Eddie Lacy tomorrow.  Will likely be close but I like my chances of winning and claiming a share of 1st place.

[AngelsLongBall]

I'm gambling starting Andre Johnson over TY Hilton

[Brandon]

I still have Hilton to go with Rodgers. If both go off I could possibly hit a 200 point weekend in Yahoo league.

Rodgers

Murray

Stacy

Garcon

Gordon

Hilton

Graham

Goskowski

Chiefs

Looks like I chose wisely! LOL!

Spoke a little too soon regarding the 10-team CBS league.  I was up 27 before tonights game and my opponent has Andre Johnson (oh, and Andrew Luck).  Now I am down 13 but still have Jordy Nelson and Eddie Lacy tomorrow.  Who knew that the WR who hadn't scored all season, with a backup QB throwing him the rock, would go off for 3 td's in the first half.

[RallyMo]

I didn't have a QB for today due to injuries and byes.

 

I picked Nick Foles up this morning from the league trash heap.

 

Good times.

 

Of course, the rest of my team has sucked it up sufficiently such that it completely negates the plus from it, but still... not bad.

[AngelsLongBall]

It's conceivable my team will score 200 this week

[RallyMo]

Well, they're playing Cal. Duh.

[AngelsLongBall]

LOL

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Had comfortable leads in both of my CBS leagues.  Andre Johnson and Andrew Luck have killed me, and TY Hilton has killed me in the other.  Wow!

[Chuck]

Andre Johnson saved the day for me with his 49 points tonight. Going into this one, I had Johnson and three IDP's and he had Andrew Luck and Trent Richardson, and I was up just 6 points. I had my doubts, but AJ eased my mind by the halftime. 

[Brandon]

Weird day. I'm already crushing it and Hilton drops the hammer for me. I'm about 33 points from 200 and have Rodgers going tomorrow.

The dude I played sadly had a good day, just ran into a chainsaw.

I love these. In my league I had to look and he single handedly would have beat about half the teams in my league or been close.

Did the same with Stacy needing a quick plug in only for him to go off. Props to random websites saying he'd be a good play and no one in my league picking him up.
