Joe Flacco to the bench, Brandon Allen will start

[Joe Flacco to the bench, Brandon Allen will start]

Hmm. Might have to start Cleveland defense instead of the Patriots.

[Your first ever fantasy football pick]

How the heck do you guys remember remember your first picks? I have no idea who I drafted 20 years ago.

[The optimal lineup]

Not this week I didn't. Tevin Coleman on the bench in both leagues. Whoops.

[Kitchens needs to go.................]

That shovel pass to the NE defensive lineman was hilarious.

[What Do You Need On Monday Night - Week 8]

I need 17 from Conner to get high score of the week, and a rewind button to prevent myself from making the dumb trade I made.

[The Official Week 8 FU Thread]

I don't understand these FUs in the first quarter when the guy goes on to have almost 200 yards and 2 TDs. Chill out, let the game play out.

F U to me for drafting Roberts Woods instead of Cooper Kupp. Yech.

[Melvin Gordon buy low?]

He's played three pretty good run defenses. There are better matchups on the horizon. It all depends on how low you go, kinda like the limbo.

I watched enough 80's wrestling to know that everyone has a price, it's just a matter of what the Gordon owner's asking price is.

[Good trade....I hope]

You traded Chubb away and got Carson?

[D. Watson owners. week 10 bye. D Murray or J Brisett]

Count me in for Kyler Murray.

Indianapolis is a run first team, and Miami sucks. I think it turns into a blowout and Indy just runs the ball.

But the Arizona and Tampa defenses both kinda suck. I think that game is much more likely to be high scoring and Murray should put up a good score.

[Josh Gordon (knee) placed on IR]

Guess that explains why they gave up a 2nd rounder for Sanu.

Maybe they'll go get A. J. Green too.

[Sanu to Pats for a 2nd round pick]

That seems like a really high pick for Sanu.

[The "illegal bat" rule makes no sense]

I'm not sure why it's even a penalty.

[Patriots at Jets: In-Game Discussion]

It's too bad the Patriots start playing real offenses now. I was enjoying 20 or 30 points a week from my defense.

[L Murray top 12 rb this week?]

I think he ate the Bears for lunch.....

It's a good thing a don't listen to myself. Made a last minute decision to start Murray over Mike Williams as a flex.

[L Murray top 12 rb this week?]

No. Not even close. Bears will eat him for lunch. Or mid afternoon snack if it's a late game.

[Joey Slye owners: Are you holding through the bye?]

I'll be dropping him. I don't really have an option with only 5 bench slots.

[I finally dropped _____ and it feels great]

Latavius Murray and Duke Johnson. I coulda had Mark Ingram instead of them.

[What would it take to trade away Pats D]

The downside, of course, is that the Browns DST is scoring a mere 0.4 points per week more than the crappy Giants DST, despite playing their first 2 games against the #27 and #32 ranked offenses of the Titans and Jets.  And that's not a function of playing the Ravens, 49ers and Rams since then, either--the Browns were actually averaging 0.1 points per week LESS after those first two cupcake games than they are now.

The complementary DST to grab is the Jets--their 9/10/11/12/13/14 schedule is MIA, NYG, WAS, OAK, CIN and MIA again.

Talking about averages doesn't make much sense. I don't care about the Jets or Browns averages, only what they'll get me when/if I start them. The Jets only have 6 sacks, they're defensive point total is entirely due to the 3 touchdowns they've scored, and I don't think you can count on defensive touchdowns. I'd rather have Cleveland's sacks and turnovers than the randomness of a Jets TD.

Although I will admit that two games against Miami is pretty sweet.

[What would it take to trade away Pats D]

I think I'm going to grab the Browns defense to go with the Patriots.

Week 10: Buf

Week 11: Pit

Week 12: Mia

Week 13: @ Pit

Week 14: Cin

 

That basically covers the Pats bad matchups.

[Todd Gurley - Week 6]

Yahoo's made him doubtful.

[What would it take to trade away Pats D]

I don't think anyone is going to give up enough to make it worth my while to trade the Patriots. People don't typically value defenses, so they're trying to buy low, but the points count the same as anything else. Right now the Patriots are twice as valuable as any other defense. Even adjusting for the fact they probably aren't going to keep scoring touchdowns at this rate, the sacks and turnovers will still be there.

I wouldn't mind selling, but I just don't see someone giving me an RB 2 or WR 2 in exchange. I may as well just start the Patriots each weeks and hope for the best. Maybe mixing in the Browns or Eages when the Patriots have a particularly bad matchup.

[James White & Sony Michel on the same team?]

I'd try and trade both. Michel doesn't catch enough passes for ppr and White doesn't score enough touchdowns. Maybe keep White for bye weeks but now that you're probably not getting more than 10-12 points. Or keep Michel for the bye weeks and hope he scores a touchdown.

[Okay, where are the lucky focks that had Aaron Jones AND the Philly defense starting, and where did you end up?]

This week was ridiculous.

Watson, Ryan, Brady, Thomas, Fuller, Chark, Cooper, A. Jones, McCaffrey, etc.

[F.U. Week Cinco]

F U Pringle those points were supposed to go to Demarcus Robinson.

Also I played against Brady, McCaffrey, Michael Thomas, and Thielen. So f them too.

[Gurley owners, should u be worried tonight?]

I think you kind of have to shop him if you're looking to trade him. I'm not sure about other leagues, but in my if you wait for someone to offer you a trade you're going to be waiting a long time. You have to go out there and try and find your deals.

In my case, I'm not looking to sell Gurley low, I just don't have the bench players to make that a reasonable idea. If I sell him low I'm just shooting myself in the foot. So I think if you're looking to buy low it really depends on the manager that has Gurley. If he's got 2 or 3 other good RBs, you might be able to get something down. But if trading Gurley leaves a giant hole in his roster like it would for me, you're probably not getting him cheap.
