Talk about your team, trades, ask for advice, whatever.

Seattle D screwed the pooch for me this week (-1)...not to mention I'm personally heartbroken.

Hopefully I'll still win!

due to yahoo fucking up hard and not allowing half our members into the draft, we scratched it after 2 picks ended up in almost completely autodrafted teamed.

although we re-drafted in espn 2 hours later, each week I've been betting a 6 pack against my opponent. won last week by less than 2 points.

this week up I'm 4 with TY hilton v adam vinaterri. hopefully up a 12 pack after two weeks.

my other, "real" league, I'm fucked. 0-2 so far, with a bunch of fuckin morons on my team.. gotta rebuild this week..

This was a weird as fantasy weak. Unless LeSean McCoy gets 25 pts tonight, I lost. And I was projected to win 120-81.

Anyone know anything about Tampa's running backs for the game tomorrow night? Specifically Doug Martin's status. All I'm finding is that Rainey will be featured if he's healthy

Well fuck. I dunno who to play between Rainey or Jeremy Hill. If I I hear anything about Rainey being for sure the number 1 guy I'll go with him because Rainey is my boy but I can see the coaches giving 9 carries for 9 yards Martin 25 touches because he's Doug Martin which is why I'm hesitant

i mean rainey has actually produced, martin is not even that good. no idea why he was drafted so high by some people. id play rainey, but both are not bad options, hill will definitely be the second string though. so if you want upside go rainey, consistency go hill. id also think Tennessee would try and bounce back, i think theyre a lot better than last week showed.

Yeah that's true and Rainey has the better matchup but both of them put up so many points for me last week it's hard for me to not play one. I'll probably play Rainey and depending on what happens with DeSean's shoulder and Welker's suspension I might play Hill at the flex

That's a tough one. Crabtree is gonna have Peterson on him, Asiata is just not a good player but he's going to get touches, and Patterson has Cassel throwing to him. I would go with Patterson because he is by far the most talented of the three and the Vikings find ways to get him the ball

Hopkins. He has by far the best matchup. I'd go Hopkins top choice then Wheaton, Wright, and Cruz

Aidan-GHopkins. He has by far the best matchup. I'd go Hopkins top choice then Wheaton, Wright, and Cruz


I mostly agree, but one thing to think about is Hopkins has been super depend on TDs, which has worked out well considering he has 2 in 2 games. That's not a sustainable pace though, and if he doesn't get in the paint he's not going to do much fantasy wise.

I'm not big on Roddy this weak either, banged up and going on a Thursday night. Hopefully he does well, but I hate playing QBs and WRs on Thursday night games.

Houston's D line is going to crush the Giant's. Going to be tough for NY to run, and Eli is not going to have a lot of time. That means getting rid of the ball quick, which means Cruz in the slot is going to get some love. Houston's passing Defense ranks 24th in the league currently, which is worse than the Giants.

If I had to pick out of that group I'd go with Cruz and Wheaton (playing them both this week).

Asiate or ridley at rb2? If Charles plays its a no brainer. Asiate will get more touches but he is slow and not a great runner.

New England is playing Oakland, should be up big at some time in the 2nd half which equals a lot of RB touches.

Asiata might not get as many touches as we were thinking. I've been hearing McKinnon or whoever the other running back is might get a lot more looks this week because of how ineffective Asiata is

Carpenter has been my boy so far this year. Bryant is probably the safer option because i can't imagine him getting less than 6 points this week but the way the Bills have been playing Carpenter could get a lot of opportunities. Dude scored 17 points for me last week

Doug Martin is inactive tonight. I would highly recommend playing Rainey, who had 174 yards against the Rams last week, against a much worse Falcons defense.


PS: I might be biased seeing as my team name is Make It Rainey
