Official NFL Thread: NFL Draft Weekend

[Am_I_Anonymous]

As I mentioned, I'm 7-3 and definitely in the playoff hunt.

last week I lost though... and it was demoralizing.

My opponent...
Had Andy Dalton.
Who put up -3!

And I lost.
I picked up Martavis Bryant off the wire and the question was ... do I play him, or Percy who had a great week the week before.
Percy put up 9.
Bryant put up 24.

Yeah... I lost by 6. 

Bryant is gold. Play him.

my RB situation in the Bore league

I have Andre Ellington, only starting him against the Lions because I rarely sit 2nd round picks, and I don't have a better option. My second starter right now is Matt Asiata, who had a huge game for Minnesota a couple weeks ago (27.70 points). Bench: Bishop Sankey (Titans), Rashad Jennings (Giants). I dropped Reggie Bush.

my WRs in this league on the other hand

Megatron
Emmanuel Sanders
Odell Beckham Jr


Percy Harvin and Eddie Royal on the bench. (and Kendell Wright)

Stick with Asiata....jennings won't be 100% this week and I just don't trust Sankey.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

My lineup on a must win week

Rivers
McCoy

Beckham Jr
Steelers D (at Tenn)
Gostkowski

Bryant is gold. Play him.

Oh yeah... he's in this week.
Trying to figure out who to play next week is the issue.

Gordon, Bryant, Tate and Alshon

Not too bad.  My situation is not horrible, but not great.  Started the season with Forte and Jennings.  Jennings went out and I had to find some help.
Picked up Ronnie Hillman and he killed it for a few weeks, then got hurt.
So now I have CJ Anderson.  Hoping Jennings comes back this week.  Rainey is on my bench.

Megatron
Emmanuel Sanders
Odell Beckham Jr

Those starters are crazy good!
Sanders has been a huge surprise.

Harvin is on my bench now too... and that is where he will stay.
I also have Malcom Floyd.

Stick with Asiata....jennings won't be 100% this week and I just don't trust Sankey.

Asiata is tough b/c he only gets touches at the goal line.
Of course that makes McKinnon tough too.
I had Asiata and dropped him when McKinnon started getting most of the touches.

[Human Snorenado]

My WR have been straight trash this year with the notable exception of Tate (DAT VALUE in the 7th round). My current options are:

Tate
Brandon Lafell
Jordan Matthews
John Brown
Marques Colston
Pierre Garcon

That's one starter and a bunch of fucking scrubs. I feel good when I get 8 points out of any of them (we get 0.5 ppr) other than Tate.

Fortunately the rest of my team is

Rodgahs
Matt Forte
Mark Ingram
Branden Oliver
Doug Martin (ok, he's just taking up a roster spot)
Heath Miller (sucks and TE has been a black hole for me all season)
Pittsburgh
Graham Gano
Kaepernick is my backup QB

Rodgers, Forte and Tate have been unbelievably solid for me all year long, and as long as it's not Martin my RB2 spot has been productive. Everything else though... still, I'm 6-4 and in 3rd place. Hope my team can go 3-1 the rest of the way to the playoffs.

[Shino]

QB was my weak link, but Romo has been surprisingly solid.
Sporting Julius Thomas at TE

[Yo! Shinobi]

Not sure if I should start Ty Hilton or Roddy White....Pats corners looking good, and White is facing the Panthers...

[Human Snorenado]

This Buf-Mia game...

[Shino]

Not sure if I should start Ty Hilton or Roddy White....Pats corners looking good, and White is facing the Panthers...

Wow... both are must starts IMO regardless of matchup.
Who are your other WRs that are putting you in this position to chose between TY and Roddy.

I would play TY.  Julio is the go to guy in Atlanta and TY will get his shots.
Remember, even in the blow out... Manning put up over 400 yards passing IN NE.
In my League... against NE... Sanders put up 25 and DT put up 19 (PPR) that game.
Both had over 100 yards Receiving.

I expect the Colts to win this game since NE is often not the same team on the road.  Luck and his weapons will get theirs.

[TakingBackSunday]

most of those are terrible

[Phoenix Dark]

we're approaching the end of the RG3 Experience.


take stupid risks brehs

[team filler]

damn, what the hell is he doing?

[Human Snorenado]

Trying to beat the Bucs in a game with no playoff implications, obviously

[team filler]

hoping to get our first and possibly only win today, glad our young qb learned his lesson about doing stupid shit like that.

Raiders could beat the bills

Maybe the niners too once

[team filler]

nah, mayne. at this point I've accepted that we're going winless. I'm pretty sure our OC greg olson is betting against his own team and making sure we lose.

[eleuin]

Stanton is balling

[team filler]

refs are despicable helping out the chargers DBs against a winless team

[team filler]

7 possessions:

fumble
punt
field goal

chargers playing down to our level 

[Phoenix Dark]

Lions need a big second half. We've stuck around enough to win this game. Defense needs to lock in. I don't expect Stanton to keep throwing dumbass INTs like that. We have to get some pressure on him...

Lions really got fucked by that idiotic ref call. Should have been a first down...

RGIII: "Great quarterbacks, the Peytons, the Aaron Rodgers, those guys don’t play well if their guys don’t play well.”

WOW

My Lions thoughts: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=139165720&postcount=7944

Lombardi gotta go

[Flannel Boy]

Rodgers >>> Luck, Brady, Manning, et al.

He has bad taste in women though.

Nice floater, Brady. Jesus.

[Phoenix Dark]

GB is going to blow us out the water in week 17. Today was our chance to secure quite an important tie breaker, and at least end up with a wildcard at the end of the season (assuming we don't collapse). Now I have a sick feeling that last game is going to be an elimination game for the NFC north title.

[TakingBackSunday]

PD you just lost to the best defense in the NFL.  Chill out.  You're gonna be 11-5 at the end of the season, GB will be 12-4.  You'll be a wild card team

[Phoenix Dark]

Statistically they have the worst secondary in the league....

all their opponents have scored at least a couple TDs on them. Yet we couldn't score once. This offense is trash.

[eleuin]

I'm still not very confident in this packers team. Both lines are suspect so I expect week 17 to be a close one.
It'll be interesting to see how both teams fare against the pats.
I do hope the lions at least make the wildcard if we take the division so we won't have to lose to the 9ers again   

[Mr. Gundam]

I want some of what Arizona is taking.

[Rman]

Patriots looking really good.

You can thank the Jests for Revis.  Man, I hate Woody Johnson.

[CatsCatsCats]

Need a 20 point game from Brown tomorrow (non PPR) for my money league -- it could happen, I hope so

[Human Snorenado]

I'm 1 point up on Malek, but he has Martavis Bryant going tomorrow vs. me having Heath Miller and the PIT defense. On a scale of 1-10, how fucked am I?

I won my game already.  I'm up by 23 and still have Bryant to play.  Opponent is out of players.

But this week hurt.
Looks like Julius Thomas injured his ankle.  Not sure what the damage is... but... ouch.

Also ran with Sanchez.  He got me decent points... one more than projected... but I dropped A.Smith and picked up McCown... should have played him... he put up 21 in my league.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

Either

"Do I think I'll be gone after this season? I don't know, man. The Seahawks, their front office gets in the media; they talk a lot. I don't talk too much. I just play the game," he told the website.

"If they have something going on, I don't know about it."

Asked about reported friction between himself and coach Pete Carroll and an NFL Network report that Lynch "does not communicate" with the coach, the player said: "Pete's my head coach. Well, I mean, you know, he's really not in my position meetings. ... It ain't like we get to chop it up like that."

[Brehvolution]

If they let go of Lynch it's out of pure hubris. I wouldn't be surprised to see Wussell take less in his new deal so Lynch could stay.

Yup and there are about 28 other teams who would live to have him. He'll probably end up in New England, watch.

[Phoenix Dark]

 

I really believe this is all about justifying their lowball position when it's time to negotiate with Russell Wilson. Take away all his weapons and then say "man...your production really fell off, why should we pay you more than you're worth?"

Nah man, Harvin had to go. He's a cancer to any team but the Raiders East.

Vick and Harvin on the same team breh, that locker room got to be like this half the time

The rate they've been throwing around money for free agents... Watch Elway make a call. 

Also... this week brings the return of Josh Gordon!
 

[Flannel Boy]

How much do you pay a RB who will be 29?

[CatsCatsCats]

I'm feelin my odds of Antonio Brown saving my money league game. 80 rec yards, 1 rec TD, 1 return TD, yup.

[Brehvolution]

Told you all RG3 was trash.

[Phoenix Dark]

Donovan McNabb was right


Throw your teammates under the bus, refuse to change your game, refuse to slide, and ruin your career brehs

I think he could be decent in an offense/coaching staff 100% catered to him but they wouldn't win enough games to stay relevant/employed.

Modern day Warren Moon breh...
