CornKobb 48 Posted October 20, 2015 When is he coming back? Week 7?? And what will his role be? Amendola had 100 this week but lafell should start? Right? Any Homer info really appreciated. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatguylittlecoat 13 Posted October 20, 2015 LaFell is their deep threat, because you haven't seen Aaron Hobson / Dobson, whatever the heck his name is for the last two weeks, you knew LaFell was coming back and will now be in the mix. Your guess is as good as anyone's as how it all shakes out with targets / receptions. He certainly had one heck of a year last year with limited time. It may be worth a stash to see how he does, my guess is by week 9 he'll be tempting and will probably put up good numbers once every 2 or 3 games, good luck.

BiPolarBear 476 Posted October 20, 2015 I have been watching the Patriots for a while, and I figure that if LaFell can pull a jersey over his head; he is a threat. By that, I mean he is a threat to your team, your fantasy team, your weekly fantasy team, and your mom, unless she has quit trolling the bars. Brady can hit him with a potato if he is sprinting across a reasonably dry spot on Mars. On your team, LaFell is mortal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gipaldo 8 Posted October 20, 2015 I grabbed him in a couple leagues. One of those guys on an explosive offense that can get hot just when you need him late in the fantasy season and into the playoffs. If you got room on your bench for a few weeks, think he is a must add Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Neil 63 Posted October 20, 2015 Some guy needed a WR due to byes last week and traded him to me for Kamar Aiken before Smiff declared he was gonna play. Couldn't hit accept quick enough on that. I have Edelman though so hoping I can use lafell as trade bait. If not I'll roll em both out when they play in potential shoot outs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bills04 46 Posted October 20, 2015 No one is concerned about his mysterious (foot?) injury? I don't think he's done ANYTHING since .. the Super Bowl? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giraldi02 470 Posted October 20, 2015 No one is concerned about his mysterious (foot?) injury? I don't think he's done ANYTHING since .. the Super Bowl? Well, that's not far fetched seeing how he hasn't played since the Super Bowl 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 3,323 Posted October 20, 2015 No one is concerned about his mysterious (foot?) injury? I don't think he's done ANYTHING since .. the Super Bowl?

himmystyles 29 Posted October 22, 2015 Any homers know if he's expected to play this week? I would have to straight drop him if he doesn't Bc of shallow bench and bye weeks just to fill a lineup. Fack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thewrathofkuhn 40 Posted October 23, 2015 Snead That's insane. You're suggesting you drop a guy that's on the field about 75% of the time for a WR who will play in primarily 3 and 4 WR sets. He's a home run guy that Brady hasn't had for awhile, but don't understand the hype particularly in PPR leagues. Didn't we go through the same thing last year? And before that with Thompkins? At best he's Allen Hurns. At worst Amendola. How many of you have been starting Amendola? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StrikeForce 11 Posted October 23, 2015 Just picked up LaFell. Now, I'll almost certainly drop Watkins, since my other options are: Fitzgerald, AJ Green, Moncrief and Diggs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewrathofkuhn 40 Posted October 23, 2015 Not this year with Tom Brady, they will run up the scores. Yet through a third of the season Amendola ranks 59th with 17 receptions and 200 yards and Martin 98th with 6 for 95. I could see the argument for LaFell if Amendola and Martin were abducted by aliens, but targets aren't going to suddenly appear. Moreover, it's been pretty clear they will be running the heck out of Blount when they have leads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StrikeForce 11 Posted October 23, 2015 Jees, does anyone else in your league do add/drops? Some are more active than others. I always go for people asap (just as waivers clear). A lot seem to wait until Wednesday or Thursday. I think I'm more active on the waiver wire than most. Plus, I've learned to grab people early. You snooze, you lose. I drafted AJ Green and got Fitzgerald very late (and very cheap). But yeah, Diggs, Moncrief and LaFell were all waiver wire. Also got Barnidge last week. I don't have a ton of depth at RB though, and I'm gonna be hurting (due to byes) in week 9. May try to trade AJ Green for a RB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thewrathofkuhn 40 Posted October 23, 2015 Que? Last year LaFell was a top 25 receiver and had 119 targets. Good for about 14 PPG in PPR and 9 in standard or just about where Hurns is though week 6. I'm just saying expectations should be managed versus the runaway hype train. It should also be mentioned Edelman and Lewis are on pace to destroy reception numbers by Vereen and the former in 14'. His real upside IMO comes with having already played the BYE week. If you have a fringe bench player of equal (perceived) value with an upcoming BYE it's not a bad grab.
