So I figure alot of people on NS are playing Fantasy Football.

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

^yeah, no kidding.

I am going to start Wayne per your recommendation.

On a side note, I also swapped smith and ivory about 20 times before finally just biting the bullet and starting ivory. I was completely torn--hopefully he gets some action in this second half.

I couldn't believe he was dropped. If I didn't have Peyton I would have been picking him up.

probably me a few weeks ago. i was dying at qb position and needed some more points from the dude that touches the ball the most. flacco helped last week... i just don't want last place.

I would go Gore.

Thats what I am doing.

I can't see Hillman doing well against the SF LB and D-Line. Not sure about Stacey against SEA either. And Ingram, well first week back. Risky

That was my logic too. He just blew it last week, so frustrating.

The fantasy implications were huge. Had to play Brady, Gronk, Pats D, and Gostowski. Down 38-0.

I would be hesitant with the Cowboys. I feel like theyre due for a letdown soon

Good luck! Hope it pays off.

I did the same thing with Ivory and ended up sitting him, bad move, oh well. Stoked with Vareen though.

Bradshaw.

Antone only gets like 6 touches per week, I know he's been blowing up but I can't feel good about playing a guy that gets that few touches. I mean, how many times is he going to reel off a 60 yard TD in a season?

I assume you mean Andre Holmes, WR with Oakland? He's been real good the last couple weeks, but Bradshaw has been solid all year. Bradshaw is the safer bet IMO, but if your opponent's team is looking real good and you feel you need a home run play, Holmes has more upside. So I wouldn't blame you for going that route.

Then stick with them. While the Giants may have lost Cruz and not a tier 1 or even tier 2 RB, they still can be a threat. Still, I think the odds are in your favor then.

At least you didnt pick up the Pats. I LOL any time anyone plays Patriot players against the Jets. It is a complete tossup if they play well or suck every time

BakerpowWhat do you guys think of starting the Cowboys dst? I've got the broncos right now. Nothing better on the waiver.


cowboys could go either way- might be a turnover fiesta w/ eli or the giants could get their shit together and score. no cruz so that could make scoring harder. either way i'd rank both of those defenses about equal.

I know I've already asked this and previously settled on Wayne for flex, but for good measure--and since you're online cornholio:

Quick, Randle, or Wayne at flex?

Graham is hurt, so I would go Reed.

I have advice on here to start Olsen, and he has been really good to me so far, and I was going to, but I've decided to start Reed-- I'm excited to watch him play this week.

Jimmy is playing though, in red zone and 3rd down plays today. I dont want to be the guy who loses because jimmy is on the bench. Ughh

the saints usually go to him in red zone situations just for the fact he's 6'8". The redskins are pretty hit and miss lately (especially alfred Morris who I'm having issues with) I'd look at his average and make a decision off there
