KSB2424 3,082 Posted October 23, 2014 It's like three little boards all rolled up into one thread. I thought we could help each other with trade, who to start, and who to pick up as free agents. Here, in this thread. I just don't trust the mouf breathers over on the mange bored. I'll start it off this week (week 8): I'm 4-3 facing my division leader who is 5-2. Needless to say a big game this week for me. I can't decide who to start at TE in a PPR league between Jordan Reed and Antonio Gates. Any help in breaking the tie?

KSB2424 3,082 Posted October 23, 2014 I was leaning Gates too. Then this morning I read where the Broncos have one of the best secondaries in the league and the Cowboys give up the #2 most fantasy points to TE's so far this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,169 Posted October 23, 2014 gates. Rivers will end up with 60 attempts This is true, and while I tend to avoid non-Bronco Thursday players, Reed has an unknown QB situation (prolly McCoy). I'd roll with Gates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drobeski 3,061 Posted October 23, 2014 Have the bronco's faced a SD/Gates type offense yet ? Rankings don't mean too much yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,296 Posted October 23, 2014 Rivers only had 20 passes last year in Denver when they controlled the clock with Mathews... I would think that they will try the same with Oliver... But with McCoy at the helm Monday night that would make me nervous to use Reed... Go with Gates and don't expect a lot... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulinstl 295 Posted October 23, 2014 I'm going to take the opposite side on this one. I like Reed this week with McCoy at QB. If the game plays out like it should, the Skins will be behind most of the game and should throw it a lot. I can see some nice stats from garbage time for Reed. The same can be said for the Chargers probably playing from behind, but there are more mouths to feed with the Bolts. Coin toss, they both have nice starts.

Drizzay 644 Posted October 23, 2014 Gates. If only because he is 20-some yards away from breaking Alworth's team record for receiving yards. You know Rivers will do whatever he can to get him the ball...especially in Denver with young-buck J Thomas on the other sideline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought we could all bounce stuff off of one another since we come here every day and most of us like football. I didn't realize picking fake players for a fake team based on statistics made a man tough. It takes a real man, bad ass, to pick fantasy players!@#! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,082 Posted October 24, 2014 Pick one (PPR)... Baldwin, Colston or Holmes I think I'd be hard to sit D. Baldwin after last week. He'd be my choice. The Carolina Defense hasn't been playing very well either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,082 Posted October 27, 2014 Please tell me you're not one of these guys who asks for opinions then after the games bumps the ones somebody got wrong. That's manage bored amateaur hour stuff. Fantasy football is a crapshoot. Its educated guesses based on past performance, current matchups and gut feelings. It's like betting on ball games or playing poker. Nobody wins everytime, you just try to win more than than you lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I won this week anyway so it wasn't a big deal (thanks Brady and Maclin). Always like hearing different opinions However with that being said, Edelman will be on the for the foreseeable future. He's been slowly getting phased out of the Pats offense for the last month or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
