Taking a shot in the dark here, did you have cutler and the opponent Ingram?HighRoller74;1686630 wrote:I lost one of my leagues by .6. Cam Newton getting hurt fucked me.
Damn. Brutal.HighRoller74;1686639 wrote:Nope. I was all finished and he had Forte and Jeffrey. So I should've lost anyway, had they both gotten projections. That garbage TD from Jeffrey sank me.
He definitely is loaded at WR, but you've got the upper hand at QB and RB, and your WRs aren't THAT bad. Beckham has gone bonkers since the Giants' bye, and Maclin is still serviceable, as long as he can get even mediocre QB play. Meanwhile, Jeffrey's potential, while still reasonably high, is capped by the implosion of Jay Cutler.justincredible;1686852 wrote:QB Brady Ryan

My opponent is stacked at WR. Oh, he also has a 15-point lead going in to the matchup.
I would say Herron, except I expect that to turn into a passing affair. He can catch, but it will still diminish his role.justincredible;1686929 wrote:I hate that at this point my best (most consistent) second FLEX play is another TE.
I have Martavis Bryant on my bench but he's been wildly inconsistent that last 4 games.
The following RBs are available on the waiver wire:
Jackson (vs OAK)
Asiata (vs MIA)
Andre Williams (vs STL)
Herron (vs DAL)
Martin (vs GB)
So I picked up Bridgewater. He's playing Miami, which gives me pause, but I trust him more to not soil himself on the field.O-Trap;1686788 wrote:The matchup (MINE / HIS ):

Forte worries me. They haven't been giving him enough touches, and Lacy has been GOOD lately. My WRs and flex are stronger, but if Cam can go, I trust him more than I trust Sanchez or Bridgewater.
Your team looks pretty stacked for an 18-team league.Dr. KnOiTaLL;1686942 wrote:Ya'll stealing my format and not commenting on my matchup? Hateful...
I was leaning toward Fred Jackson since Oakland is absolutely horrid against the run. In 14 games they've given up less than 20 points only 4 times.O-Trap;1686930 wrote:I would say Herron, except I expect that to turn into a passing affair. He can catch, but it will still diminish his role.
I think you could start Andre Williams over Kelce. I believe Jennings is almost definite to miss this week, so he should function as the feature back in New York, albeit against the Rams, who have only given up 100 yards rushing to three guys all year (two of whom are a surprise): D. Murray, B. Rainey, and R. Mathews.
Still, I think he'll keep all the goal line work and get the lion's share of touches out of the backfield. I'd guess 50 yards and maybe a TD. With the guaranteed touches, it's hard to start a TE over a feature back in most cases. Especially when the Giant Tomato insists on not getting that TE more involve in the offense.

Well, I hope his WRs go nuts because I am starting Bryant, Edelman and Johnson as well. However, I hope Big Ben has a bad day. In a nutshell, I hope his WRs have big days but your team can go off and I'd be fine with that.Dr. KnOiTaLL;1686942 wrote:Ya'll stealing my format and not commenting on my matchup? Hateful...
Only place you're the underdog is TE if we're going by skill alone.

Not a money league, although I wish it was since I finished the season as the #1 seed, the points leader, and I'm playing for the championship! I'd be raking in the cash!O-Trap;1686985 wrote:Only place you're the underdog is TE if we're going by skill alone. That doesn't take match-ups into account, of course.
I still think you pull it out.
Is this a money league?
Really it was a $1,188 dollar investment at least. You can see the (44) next to his name. Who knows how many other teams he had probably at least 50. Still pretty awesome payout for the investment.BR1986FB;1687098 wrote:Nice payout on a $27 investment....
