Hello Talksox. I'm desperate for a win to make it into the playoffs. Need serious help with my RB2. Rashad Jennings, Lamar Miller, or Bobby Rainey.

Hello Talksox. I'm desperate for a win to make it into the playoffs. Need serious help with my RB2. Rashad Jennings, Lamar Miller, or Bobby Rainey.

 

1) Rainey good matchup projected 14.75 pts

 

2) Miller second by default 9.96 pts

 

3) Jennings ( questionable with concussion ) practiced on a limited basis, facing a Jets run defense that has given up the 2nd fewest pts. Projected 12.87 pts. But I think is a bunch of crap.

 

Good luck

Thanks.

 

Everyone is saying Rainey... I just have trouble trusting Tampa Bay. Jennings has also been someone my team has been able to trust for consistently good points. Tough choices.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

80 yd TD for Rainey...I hope you started him.

Yes sir, I made the right decision on my roster for once.

[rjortiz]

Jordan Todman for anyone who needs at flex in Week 16. Kirk Cousins for anyone with a weak QB like Kapernick or Matt Ryan.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I want to bench Andre Johnson this week. Houston sucked last week and I have Welker, but idk how he will perform. They are both hit and miss, what do you guys think?

[redsoxrules]

Welker hasen't been cleared to play yet.

Even if Welker plays, I'd still go with Johnson again Denver's sorry pass defense.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

True, but Peyton Manning is probably going to go off on the Texans since they suck. I have no idea who is playing QB for the Texans, but Welker is more likely to get the ball more anyways.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I am in the finals. Instead of one week, it's two weeks combined scores. Currently have my team set up like this:

 

Starting

QB:Peyton Manning vs Texans

RB: Adrian Peterson vs Bengals

RB: Eddie Lacy vs Steelers

WR: Wes Welker vs Texans

WR: Antonio Brown vs Packers

TE: Vernon Davis vs Falcons

Flex: DeSean Jackson vs Bears

DEF: Bengals vs Vikings

K: Matt Prater vs Texans

 

Bench:

WR: Andre Johnson vs Broncos

RB:Giovani Bernard vs Vikings

QB: Matthew Stafford vs Giants

DEF: Ravens vs Patriots

TE: Bennett vs Eagles

QB: Alex Smith vs Colts

K:Mason Crosby vs Steelers

 

Tough decisions, thoughts?

It's Case Keenum who locks onto Johnson pretty regularly. He's had some huge games with Keenum under center.

Are Welker and Petersen going to be activated this weekend?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Peterson I think will play but has not been confirmed. Welker is more likely to sit than play. If that's the case, I'll start Bernard and Johnson. I'm just assuming that they'll both play to get an idea who I should start. If they're injured, there's nothing I can do lol.

[rjortiz]

Welker isn't going to play.

 

You won't regret having to play Johnson. He's going to tear up Denver's secondary, plus Houston will likely be behind all game and have to throw to catch up.

[redsoxrules]

Welker is out until playoffs

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

f*** it, they play better without Welker and makes my decision easier.

T-Will, Cordarrelle Patterson, Markus Wheaton and Justin Hunter are my 4 favorite WR sleepers this year. I think all have huge years and you can get them all pretty late.. The same dude stole both Cordarrelle and Hunter from me in my one league, I was so pissed. lol

 

Your team in that 8 team league is f***ing ridiculous, especially your WR. I also like your 10 team league team. I'm really high on Victor Cruz, especially in PPR. Giants are running a more west coast scheme now and even in a completely horrible season for the Giants, that was filled with injuries and Eli's worst season, Cruz still had a decent season.

 

Only thing is I don't really see the need for 3 QBs and TE, unless you start multiple QB. Kaepernick and Big Ben are pretty solid options and I don't see the need to also carry Eli. Ditto with TE, especially when you have Vernon Davis, who I doubt will be on the bench much. Id cut Green because it sounds like Gates is likely to still start and at the very least they will be splitting time.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I picked 3 QBs because Big Ben was my second to last pick. At that point, I had everything filled. Usually my last 2 picks are defense and a kicker, but I drafted with some idiots. Will most likely get rid of him or Eli down the road. I picked up Green at TE, because I feel Gates will get injured again. Green looked nice last season, so if he could get some playing time then it'd be a nice backup option.

[Thunder]

I did an auction draft with some friends and accidentally spent most of my money on Brady. So my team is f***ed, but I do have Peterson, Kaepernick, Chris Johnson, Dwayne Bowe, and Matt Patricia's defense. I'm slowly making my team better with trades.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

 

Last fantasy draft for me. Not too sure about this one. 12 team league, but I think I need to make a big trade. Maybe for a WR. Thoughts?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Rate my team

 

QB: Eli Manning

WR: DeMariyus Thomas

WR: Alshon Jeffrey

WR: Vincent Jackson

RB: Mark Ingram

RB: Alfred Morris

TE: Rob Gronkowski

K: Cody Parkey

Def: Arizona Cardinals

 

Bench

Joique Bell

Tre Mason

Arian Foster

DeVante Adams

Torrey Smith

Jay Cutler

 

Love my WR core. I have some depth too if my sleeper Adams puts in work with an injured Nelson and Smith if Kaep doesn't suck.

 

My RBs is probably my biggest flaw. Not a bad 1-2 punch of Ingram/Morris, but Bell has been injured preseason although, they say he's looking good for week 1. Tre Mason has a s***** o-line(picked him up round 13 though) and Arian Foster will miss several weeks with no timetable to return but he was on the board 12th round so low risk, high reward I guess?

 

Edit:12 team league btw

 

Hope Eli gets it done this year for me. Was going for Romo but they got him early.

[Thunder]

Solid team, solid bench. I'll give you an A-.

 

I'm in a 12 team league, costing $55 per person. Draft is Sunday night.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Yahoo gave me an A, close enough.

[Thunder]

Just got done with my draft. Had the #1 pick, took Lacy.

 

The squad:

Ben Roethlisberger QB

Eddie Lacy HB

Todd Gurley HB

T.Y. Hilton HB

Mike Evans WR

Martellus Bennett TE

Mike Wallace WR (in FLEX spot)

Patriots D/ST

Chandler Catanzaro K

 

Bench:

Cam Newton QB

Alfred Blue HB

Zach Ertz TE

D'Angelo Williams HB

Cody Latimer WR

Packers D/ST

Dan Carpenter K

 

I always take two Ks and two defenses. It's a 12 team league, so by the end, you don't want any skill players anyway.

[Jasonbay44]

I feel like this is a difficult year for #1 pick. Thunder as he mentioned took Lacy, but I've seen numerous other people talk about how Leveon Bell is clear #1 pick, or Adrian Peterson or Charles. I would personally take Bell #1, even with suspension, maybe its because I'm a Steelers fan and I'm biased but that's just me. Anyway In a 10 team league I had #2 pick and decided to take a bit of a risk and go with Adrian Peterson.

 

Here is my team, keep in mind though that my draft was two weeks ago, so I got Brady really late, as well as Foster who it sounds like will only miss two games now.

QB - Tom Brady

RB - Adrian Peterson

RB - Melvin Gordon

WR - Alshon Jeffrey

WR - AJ Green

TE - Delanie Walker

Flex - Deandre Hopkins

D - Panthers (I stream defenses and they play Jags week 1)

K - Stephen Gostkowski

 

Bench

Arian Foster RB

Latavius Murray RB

Jarvis Landry WR

Steve Smith WR

Phillip Rivers QB

Markus Wheaton WR

Jordan Reed TE

In hindsight this team ended up being so s***** but I somehow kept getting lucky and made championship game. Antonio Brown and Brady were only good players on this team and I literally didn't keep any of my bench players besides Wilson..
