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

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

cornholiotrade opinions wanted - i want to upgrade TE position. i'll start by listing relevant positions on my team, no-brainer starters listed first, bench in parentheses. Basically we play 1 RB, 2 Flex, 2 WR (so one of my RB/WR listed as bench players would be put in the lineup)

RB: Bell, Miller, (Ingram, Robinson)
WR: DThomas, JulioJ, (Gordon, Tate, Benjamin, Allen)
TE: Reed

I just traded for Brees a couple weeks ago so feel ok at QB, right now I've thrown a few trades out to upgrade TE (Julius, Gronk, Graham, Olsen) mostly combinations of Reed/Tate/Robinson 2-for-1 deals to see if anyone will bite. if someone starts to nibble and wants to negotiate i might consider putting Julio or Gordon up to get the upgrade. Is it crazy to trade away julio/gordon for a TE? or is it justifiable since my bench situation is somewhat solid? currently sitting 6-2 and cruising towards playoffs, 1st in my division, maybe the right move is to just go with what i've got?

opinions wanted


If youre getting a top 5 TE I wouldnt be scared to throw gordon in to get the deal done

With bernard being out, I need a new flex.


Options are, Andre Homles (@HOU), Jordan Matthews (@SEA), or pick up a FA, Miles Austin (v TB), or Riley Cooper (@HOU)

BakerpowId say miller and McKinnon definitely. Vereen is dangerous because I have no idea how they will play the backfield. Like always. Hillman is hot but ball is back and Thompson will get goal line touches. Not sure but I would probably play hillman as flex.


I_liketobutterYeah that's what I was leaning towards. Basically between vereen and hillman for flex


.Hugo.vereen barely had any touches and the pats steamrolled chicago. i doubt he will get many more against denver seeing how they will most likely be down or in a very close game. denver also has a pretty good run defense, look what theyve done the last 3 games....

on the other side ball is most likely returning this week so that could lessen hillmans roll.

idk its kinda a toss up, i doubt either of them will have a huge game.



Everyone is predicting horrible weather. Maybe it's overblown....right now I have McKinnon, Hillman, and miller in. Will this shitty weather mean Vereen gets a million short passes? Ugh, fuck

SSeahawks D going from 22 points to 9 doesn't make sense. 2 interceptions is 4 points. 1 fumble recovery is another 2. Irvin touchdown is 6. Held to less than 5 points so far is 5. That's 17 at least... can't see where they would have lost a bunch?

Ok. Now it says 22 again. Weird. Went from 22 to 12 to 0 to 9 and then back to 22. ESPN glitch.

Are all your games down to the wire?


Also fuck the guy who started Stafford on a bye. At least pay attention to your team. Shit, he can pick up Eli right now and probably win. I want him to win so I can jump up in my division.

Right? It's stupid. It takes 2 minutes to set a line up, max.


Also, you beat me. So congrats. But mainly, fuck Rivers. I'm going to find him and beat the shit out of him.

Loved the Pats-Broncos game.

Peyton got his fantasy numbers, along with a J. Thomas TD and E Sanders yardage but the Patriots won. I thought I was screwed when Maclin, Denard, Decker, and Graham all scored 15+ and my team had a paltry 20 points.

Then Marshawn, Peyton, and the Broncos came along.

5-4, almost officially out of making the Sacko

Alright guys, I'm up 1 point on my opponent going into tonight.

He has Trent Richardson as his last guy to play.

I can either play reuben randle or reggie wayne. wayne is coming off an injury.

I'm thinking randle..

I just looked back-- this will be the fourth that is pretty close. A few weeks I've been projected to win by like 40, and then all my players collectively shit the bed and I squeeze in the win by just a few. This was the first week I was projected to lose from the get-go.

With the possibility of Bernard being out for Thursday, I need a RB to fill a bye week spot.

I'm eyeing these FAs, Antone Smith (@TB), Benjamin Cunningham (@ARI), Jonathan Stewart (@PHI), Toby Gerhart, (@DAL in London), and Chris Polk (@JAX in london)

Or roll the dice with Bernard. He is listed at Questionable now, but the game against CLE is tomorrow so I'm not holding out hope.

Traded Dwayne Allen for Percy Harvin, gets me another WR.

I have the potential to trade for either Gore or Richardson. Who would you guys pick?

IMO Gore is garbage. He hasn't really done much this year but under preform. Very frustrating to have him because you are expecting big numbers and he puts up 3.
