DubV134Is fantasy football gambling?
I think it's an interesting debate.
cornholioPossibly. Is entering any paid tournament with prizes gambling? idk
DubV134Like march madness brackets, sure. But I think fantasy football is different, it's bigger. All season long there are TV and radio shows completely dedicated to fantasy, sportscenter is all about fantasy now, there are fantasy update boards in NFL stadiums reflecting the rest of the league. It can easily be argued that the recent (~5 years) spike in NFL tv ratings was caused by the growth of fantasy. Is fantasy gambling or are you choosing to gamble on fantasy?

gRAPEFRUITNot saying I'm Nostradamus, but I'm Nostradamus the Second
Lamar Miller= Huge Game
Matty Ice= Huge Game
Kendall Wright = 10 pts
Riley had what like 2 points?
proZachfuck zac stacy. this dude better have just had an off game. and thanks to julius thomas' HUGE game, I'm within 8 points and have rashad jennings tonight. he has bush though so we'll see how this pans out. not pretty confident, but anything can happen
BakerpowDo you guys really think bush will survive the year? Even if he does I see him losing touches to bell. Bell will be the top dog there soon.
KravtZI wouldn't get the hopes up but still a very close deficit to fill easy with a TD. Last year the Lions rotated there RB's a lot. Joqie Bell blew up and proved to be starter worthy...bush is still good and rashad will be good. But we gotta see how they split rb's.
Chewy.Calvin Johnson is my dude. He's going to take me to the top.
KravtZRay Rice contract terminated. I think he is done. Unless he can pull a ray lewis and somehow revive his career but i am not tos ure since he has had a pretty bad performance last year.

snobunnyso lame that I got selected as the tenth pick...picks 1-6 were all the stud running backs, pick 7 manning, and picks 8 & 9 Johnson and Graham. So by the time it came to me I basically had to do auto pick. Every person got someone ridiculously awesome but me. /rant.
Bakerpowshoulda picked julius thomas! that late in first round go TE, will automatically give you an edge in that department.
snobunnygood to know. Thanks, its my first time playing. I did get Greg Olsen and witten for TEs, though, and Olsen did do well week one and I'm 1-0, so I'm not all complaints.
proZachon another note, I either need a defense (available are Bills v TB, Green Bay v NYJ, not much else..) or play the Rams (@TB).
also need to determine Zac Stacy (@TB) will play or bench. I could move Rashad Jennings (v Ari) into my RB2, then throw in Golden Tate (@ Car) to my Flex and toss Stacy on the bench .
so many damn decisions haha

proZachI generally wouldn't pick another TE aside from jimmy in the first round (although Thomas did explode this week, I wouldn't expect it to be consistent). I picked up Thomas first pick in the 3rd. at the end of the first, I'd consider high-end WRs, HOF QBs (although this week didn't help them too much, see Brees/Rodgers).
also depends a ton if you're in a PPR league or not.

Bakerpowalso my wr depth is giving me nightmares (good problem i know) but i cannot decide who to play. some have huge upside (patterson)
wr
dez
patterson
wheaton
crabtree
kendal wright
kelvin benjamin
josh gordon (praying they decide in reinstatement tonight!)
right now im starting dez, patterson and vereen at flex. my flex options are kendal wright, carlos hyde, wheaton. i need to trade away a wr and get a te which is in the works.
any input?
gRAPEFRUITI would have gone with Brees with the pick,
proZachdo we have a timetable on this new drug policy? I'm itchin to throw gordon back in the lineup hah
Bakerpowyah wheaton is going up against baltimore, kendal is playing dallas... so that should be my first sign to play him hah
Bakerpowwho do i pick up of the waiver for te? delanie walker, heath miller, travis kelce, dwayne allen, jermaine gresham all the classic te who dont do a whole lot but one of them will get a td. how the fuck do i figure that out?
BakerpowAlso who the fuck is victor Cruz? I didn't spend a high draft pick on him so I was happy but damn 2 points makes it tough to trust the guy

Jeebus.Somewhat washed up giants receiver, wouldn't be wise to bank on him week to week, in my book.
Bakerpowbell for emmanuel sanders? i personally really like bell and already have depth at wr, but sanders is playing for denver and they put up points. if welker comes back that would greatly diminish his value, and if bush gets hurt bell is going to killllll it
