Just got a trade request in one of my ESPN leagues.
Cameron Brate for Frank Gore...I mean :D but I'm tempted to accept it for shits and giggles.
Unless I drafted David Johnson, Dalvin Cook & Isaiah Crowell I'll take Brate & be very happy about it.
I meant the other way round. I have Brate, he has Gore.

In Dynasty do I roll with Amari Cooper tonight or bench him and pray that Shephard starts? My only other option if he doesn't would be Sammy Watkins in the UK game or picking up someone like Ted Ginn or Robby Anderson.
Well I've benched him in a decent matchup, having played him every week through his shit form, so he's bound to have a good game now.
I do kinda fancy him to do well tonight though, so I'd definitely stick with him over Anderson or Ginn (although Snead is still limited apparently), and a not fully fit Sterling Shepard against the Seahawks is probably less appealing too in my eyes.
Browning

My opponent in my main league is starting him, so I guess I have to start him too. That way if he's shit I at least have some consolation and if he goes off it doesn't totally kill my week.

Mfw I drafted David Johnson and Isaiah Crowell. My team fucking sucks.

Only a fool drafts Crowell, especially in the third round.

So...:cry: At least I started Carr though, right?
Just checked and of course I’m against Cooper in dynasty this week :D I’m so mad.
Gray Fox
20-10-2017, 07:18 AM
Opponent in work league has both Cooper and Carr... on his bench.
Poor bastard 😀
I can’t wait for Cooper to go back to being shit when I put him in again next week - I get the feeling this was more KC being a horrible pass defence rather than Cooper suddenly going back to being a consistent stud.
19 targets a week would be nice though, regardless of matchup.
Gray Fox

I love Thursday games like this. Some people have pretty much won or lost already.
Welp, that's defeats on the cards for both of my teams this week.
Unless I cling to the playoffs and then have a good few weeks that's me done for the year by the looks of it.
Browning
20-10-2017, 09:33 AM
I stupidly started the Chiefs DST in my main league which makes it worse. I may cut them when I can as I simply don’t trust them. Should have held on for the Ravens at the weekend.
Pretty much in the same spot as last week (30% chance, expected to lose by 35 points) and we won that... but I doubt it happens again.
Dynasty isn’t a lock win as he had Carr but it’s a good start.
Trust me to flex a Marshawn Lynch only for him to get ejected :moop:

I’m looking forward to Adams, Garçon, Hyde & Anderson all putting up less than Cooper on his own while Palmer throws 3 TDs to Larry Fitz.

20-10-2017, 11:32 AM
Glad I avoided any Raiders against me on both sides.
Crabtree catching that TD with zeros on the clock saved him from a terrible game. But opponent has Alex Smith so I've gone from about 60% favourite to it being 50/50.

Dear god I've had a disaster. Brought a couple of Brighton players in because they've got a good few easy games ahead, which sounds great except it was March (1) and Dunk (6, on my bench). The rest is mostly deux at best, including captain Jesus.
Sir Andy Mahowry

I'll trade you Chandler Catanzaro for Gabriel Jesus?
:D
I'm starting Wilson in TTH which means Newton is going on a tear (though I'm still toying over them both as I type this). Martavis Bryant is probably going to be benched for Zach Miller in the remaining flex spot and I'm still hoping and praying that Funchess goes on one. Darkwa as RB2 is a massive stab in the dark and Jarvis Landry is probably going to have a shit game. Baz may actually get a free win this week #believeinplobs #freewinforbaz
I should be fine in my other Yahoo matchups but I've benched Agholor for DeVante Adams and Gallman for Jonathan Steward in one of them :sherlock:
MY ESPN leagues are fine so I shouldn't worry about them this week...hopefully.
Bartholomert
22-10-2017, 12:38 PM
Fournette confirmed out so I'm going to start Ivory over Pryor as Flex. Is that retard status?
Also screw you guys being so vigilant on the waiver wire, you don't leave anything ffs.
Sir Andy Mahowry
22-10-2017, 12:44 PM
Pryor is bollocks (he's going to have a field day now), Ivory is the smart choice.
Colts are bollocks against the run too.
Mert you make more moves than anyone :D
Ivory is definitely a better choice than Pryor. Definitely going to backfire now Mahow & I have both said it. I’m waiting for my boy Corey Grant to break off his customary 50 yard TD though.
Fay absolutely gets his fantasy knowledge from the same places as me - he’s made about five moves that I’ve considered this season.
Sir Andy Mahowry
22-10-2017, 02:00 PM
I've even started Ivory in TTH so 4 points with Grant getting about 5x the carries is nailed on.

Still predicted to win by like 8 points but fucking hell.
Is that a 10pt per TD league or something? :cab:
Sir Andy Mahowry
22-10-2017, 05:16 PM
He got 2.5 points for passing 300-399 yards, 5 points for his two 40+ TD passes, 10 points for his two 50+ yard passes and 4 points for a fumble recovery.
https://i.imgur.com/Fz9JIr5.png
It's pretty mental.
Also has IDP who can score big as well.
Last week I had 3 IDP score over 20 (Mosley, Van Noy and Trevathan), Van Noy was just shy of 30 actually.
I've started Cam Newton :moop:
Sir Andy Mahowry
22-10-2017, 06:14 PM
I wish Derrick Henry and all the experts who say 'this week' a painful death.
Every time I start him in a league he does fuck all and it's usually a week in which experts have said they expect him to take over this week.
He won't take over until DeMarco dies. I'm playing him in dynasty in the hope that he gets most of the work in the second half when Cleveland have been put away & they're just running out the game, but that's all you can really expect from him when Murray's active.
Sir Andy Mahowry
22-10-2017, 06:20 PM
He had more snaps last week and Murray was a little banged up.
SOURCES SAY HE WILL BE THE PRIMARY BACK seems to come up on Yahoo every fucking week I decide to start him and he does nothing.

I was wondering where that post had gone.

Yeah, if it actually does happen this season, which I don't think it will, it'll be in the last few weeks of the season.
Looks like I've got another QB injured. Dickheads.
It's alright, Gurley's going to score 30pts today to balance it out. Knowing Palmer he'll come back in to take some more hits later anyway.
Yo Jameis, you're throwing to the wrong TE.
Someone hold my beer, I'm leading against Baz for now.
Sir Andy Mahowry
22-10-2017, 07:02 PM
Yo Jameis, you're throwing to the wrong TE.
He shouldn't even be throwing it that way.
He should be throwing it up so Evans can climb that stairway.
Gray Fox

22-10-2017, 07:03 PM
Fuck off Yeldon you prick.
I'm very pleased Ian left Ted Ginn on his bench today :D
Starting Davante Adams over Cooper hasn't exactly worked out how I'd hoped this week though. Then again I think he's being covered by Lattimore, so there's why.
Mert you make more moves than anyone :D

I was close, just picked the wrong RB.
Sir Andy Mahowry
22-10-2017, 07:06 PM
I was close, just picked the wrong RB.
Everyone thought Yeldon was dead tbf.
He had been a healthy inactive for every other single fucking game.
He's come back to haunt me with Ivory.
Yeah, it's 2016 Jags all over again.
EDIT: I'm glad I have ASJ & Gurley in other leagues. Makes them doing well for Ian slightly less annoying.
Their points for me will prove to be meaningless in the end anyway.
I've started Cam Newton :moop:
:gs:
Tevin Coleman will get 100+ scrimmage yards & a TD tonight, and both Witten & Alshon could have more than 10pts quite easily given their matchups, so I'm not going to stop worrying yet :D
These are all pretty even games on the scoreboard so far this week.
Sir Andy Mahowry
22-10-2017, 07:41 PM
Not all of them :moop:
Sir Andy Mahowry
22-10-2017, 07:46 PM

Evans is so fucking good.
Sir Andy Mahowry
22-10-2017, 07:51 PM
Inevitable 70yd Taylor Gabriel TD & two 30yd+ Hogan TDs now.
EDIT: Didn't the amount of rushing yards per game Baltimore gave up basically double while he was out?
Think this might be the week you get QB right too.
Assuming Dak doesn't go mental.
Fuck you :(
Assuming Dak doesn't go mental.
Fuck you :(
Yeah, we all know everything I say about QBs is wrong :D
Just realised I started Snead in one league as i forgot to take him out. Luckily that team also has Alex Smith, Mike Evans, Zeke, Kareem Hunt, Zach Ertz, Greg Zuerlein & the Jags DST, so we should be alright.
EDIT: Get out of here Austin Ekeler :mad:

Gray Fox
22-10-2017, 10:19 PM
I wouldn't be shocked if that's the last you see of Dak and Zeke this game.
They can give Jason Witten a rest too. He's old, he'll appreciate it.
Browning
22-10-2017, 10:31 PM
That better be the end of Zeke, the utter wanker.
Sir Andy Mahowry
22-10-2017, 10:33 PM
I could do with more from Dak in another league.
Browning
22-10-2017, 11:23 PM
Fucking Jimmy Graham grabbing a TD when my players are all done in dynasty.
Assuming Graham and Bell (for me) don't get anything else I'll have a 1 point lead going into the final game where I have Cousins and he has Jeffrey. That should be a win, but it's much closer than it should be. Zeke Elliot needs to get banned already.

I thought my 5 was a little much.
I have five too, although I was considering adding another couple next season. Twelve does seem like a lot though :D
Barring some Monday night madness I’m on for a second consecutive perfect week.
Browning
23-10-2017, 09:39 AM
To show how much my dynasty league is taking the piss, these are the projected points across the league:
Me- 220 Vs Opponent- 208
104 Vs 153
153 Vs 156
156 Vs 122
That one of us is losing really does take the piss, but I'll let it go, as long as it's him.
I've woken up fuming.
Zach Ertz to give me a garbage win please #praytothefantasygods
Zach Ertz getting 7pts is definitely not impossible, especially given how many targets he gets. It’ll probably be the closest matchup of the week either way though.
Browning
23-10-2017, 10:56 AM
Fuck knows how my shitty team keeps being amongst the top scorers at the moment.
Another week, another disappointment.
Gray Fox
23-10-2017, 12:12 PM
Handed out what ended to be a fisting in my work league.
https://i.gyazo.com/d297d69f0bf534da5955ae9fd3ae0972.png
Had he played Carr and Cooper he'd still be around 118 points and so needing a big Eagles win tonight. Only 1 of the other 9 teams has broken 100 points this week so it's one of those weeks. Assuming no negative points from Ertz and I've broken the leagues highest score record, set in week 4 also by me.
Managed to beat the new guy in our league too, so it's all good.
Browning
23-10-2017, 12:25 PM
My main league is almost certainly a loss with him having a 9 point lead with me only having Reed to play Vs his Pryor, Ertz and an IDP. The good thing for me is that there wasn't much I could do about it. It was a mistake to bench Buck Allen for Ivory (cost me about 8 points) and playing Mariota over Ben (not that I ever considered Ben) cost me about another 10 but even with those extra 18 points he would be a big favourite. Cooper did me in and even though TDs from Gurley, Ingram, Ivory and Kearse had me back in it at one point during the Rams game, it was never really likely and we fall to 4-3. We should just about stay in the Play Off places with only one team having a better record than us (5-2) but our points being fairly low compared to the pack. I reckon we'll be 4th after this week.
Dynasty is still on which pisses me off as it was done and dusted before all his late players went mental. I should still win though. Assuming I do I will move to 4-3 there and leapfrog my opponent to top of the table. The league is so tight it's unreal.
In my 4th league where I have my strongest team I have once again destroyed my opponent who was 3rd to my 4th heading in. We're by far the top scorers in the league and some BS scheduling has seen us with a 3-3 record. This win though will lift us to 4-3 and as it stands, top of the pile.
My autodraft league I've stopped caring about and am likely to fall to 5-2, somehow.
And then there's TTH where we've proven how God really feels about Jags.
Cam Newton is on the trade block if anyone needs a dodgy looking QB.
Browning
23-10-2017, 01:29 PM
I'm so glad I didn't trade for him earlier.
Sir Andy Mahowry
23-10-2017, 01:43 PM
Mariota or Winston on the table too...
Just checked my dynasty team & it turns out my opponent has Wilson & Cooper, so I need 25pts from Wentz & Smallwood in 0.5PPR to sneak a win.
It’s made worse by the fact he’s not even paying attention & has Diggs, OBJ, Foreman & Fournette in his lineup :D
Sir Andy Mahowry
23-10-2017, 05:03 PM
TTH - WON
Money league - I need just under 30 points from Agholor ('Mon then Wentz you cock)
Yahoo Public - Was on my way to losing until 'Zeke decided to go bananas
Mental IDP - I was predicted to win even though Smith and Hill combined for 88 fucking points for my opponent but I looked shaky. Thankfully Mike Evans, Landry, Hurns and my IDP guys went batshit. Deone Bucannon got 36 of my IDP 139.5 total. He has a 10 pont lead with Venon Davis to play. I have Kirk Cousins, Brandon Graham and Jalen Mills to go so should be fine. Props to Tre'Davious White too, he was about to put up 0 but tackled someone to force a fumble and recover it for 10 points.
Star Wars themed IDP (you just make a Star Wars team name) - I have a sub 3 point lead and he has Cousins to play. Let's hope I don't like what he does with Jalen Mills picking him off for days.
Bartholomert
23-10-2017, 05:47 PM
You guys are just genuinely too good at this shit. Ffs.
Does anyone want to trade me anything for Watson or Cousins. I need not terrible players pls.
Browning
24-10-2017, 08:50 AM
Midway through most seasons, slightly over midway in TTH, this is how I stand:
Main League
It's been an up and down season so far with a hot start followed by some frustrating losses, the heroic win last week (with 3 of my 4 WRs being off free agency that week, and Allen, the only one who was on the team before that week, being a let down) and then this week we got smashed purely by Amari Cooper. Our 4-3 record sees us sit 4th in the table and we're also the 4th highest scorers so it's about right. I feel like I should compete in this league, but it could go either way still. I like my team more this week than last week but I'm facing a tougher opponent so it could be difficult.
Dynasty League
Genuinely think my team is the best team in this league both in terms of the now and the future. One team does have Zeke, OBJ and Rodgers so he could always be a force, but I feel the rest of his squad is weak enough to give me the edge over him for future seasons, and obviously he's a little bit fucked this year, particularly if Zeke goes down. He lead the way but my win over him puts me top of the pile with a 4-3 record. Half the league is 4-3 and the other half 3-4. That half a point loss in week 1 to the lowest scorers still hurts and I'm hoping we avenge it this week. Our team looks ridiculously strong at the moment, so we should. We've put up 1244 points with no one being within 100 of it and the team at the bottom having only scored 989. Hopefully we can keep it going and win this. Cousins looks like an every week starter at QB, we have ridiculous RBs and great options at DST. The only thing we could do with is a stronger WR3 (unless Cooper is really back now) and a reliable TE (Hunter Henry is still hit and miss... but seems to be hitting more).
TTH
Just give me the crown already. I was winning when my team was shit and the last 3 weeks we've finished 1st, 2nd and 1st again. It's only a matter of time before a team that has had to start James White more often than not claims glory.
In all seriousness, this is still anyone's league, except Sam, Baz and Mert. :D
4th League
Our 257-176 win this week puts us where we belong, top of the pile, again with a 4-3 record which REALLY should be better. We've scored 1603 points with the 2nd highest being 1512 (that guy is 3-4 and down in 6th...) and then 1469 for the team in 2nd. Luckily the BS trade that the league owner/team in 2nd pulled off seems to have completely backfired with Nelson losing Rodgers for the season, so that's something to celebrate. I feel like I'm pretty much in auto pilot with how strong my team is there, but no doubt there's more BS to come along the way to rob us. Like TTH we've been in the top 2 scorers for the past 3 weeks (2nd, 1st, 1st, losing the week we were 2nd...) and seem to have hit our stride.
Autodraft League
Cruising at 5-0 along with Fay he then beat me by a point and I lost the week after. I sit in 3rd now with a 5-2 record which is a bit bizarre for a league that is really a 2 horse race. I couldn't care one bit though. We'll finish in the top 2 and face Fay for the title, I'm certain of it.
Browning
24-10-2017, 01:13 PM
I've offered Abdullah for Devante Adams in my Dynasty league. The guy tells me he's a big fan of Abdullah so he's considering it. Hopefully it comes off as I won't play Abdullah this season so even if Adams doesn't bounce back he can sit on my bench until Rodgers is back. We will see though.
Sir Andy Mahowry
24-10-2017, 02:05 PM
Anyone on here a Chris Ivory fan perhaps?
Browning
24-10-2017, 05:52 PM
Just traded Pierre Garcon for Doug Martin in the league I don't care about. Considering the opening offer was Martin for Michael Thomas I'll take that as a win.
Sir Andy Mahowry
24-10-2017, 05:54 PM
He only likes injured running backs.
Browning
24-10-2017, 09:56 PM
I've added the Bengals in my main league purely to stop my opponent doing the same as he's currently starting Miami on Thursday. I know the Ravens are bad, but I've learnt from when they faced the Jets that Miami just aren't a viable play....
The choice between the Cheifs (Vs Denver) and the Bengals (Vs Indy) is going to do my head in though. I really don't like the Chiefs DST after last week but Denver looked really, really awful. Plus the Bengals just put up negative points Vs The Steelers... but then Indy got absolutely dicked by Jacksonville. Knowing my luck the correct answer will end up being The Ravens anyway.
Edit:
My dynasty match up where I'm trying to gain revenge for a half point week 1 loss should be as big a slam dunk as they come.... SHOULD be, but it won't be. The line ups as it stands would be:
QB: Cousins Vs Prescott
RB: Bell and Ingram Vs Martin and Mack
WR: Allen, Hopkins and Cooper Vs D.Thomas, Garcon and Agholor
TE: Hunter Henry (if you dare score 0 this time you're getting cut) Vs Gronk
Flex: Howard and McKinnon Vs J. Matthews and M.Bryant
K: Lutz Vs Hauschka
DST: Vikings Vs Philly
QB and DST should be close, TE he beats me.... but everything else should go my way....
It's a nailed on loss though.
Sir Andy Mahowry
24-10-2017, 10:22 PM
Miami's D could put up 20 odd points or about 3.
I'd bet on the higher number. Joe looks like a shell of a man who doesn't want to be there, our OLine is pointless and the playcalling (run the fucking ball) is baffling.
Browning
25-10-2017, 06:54 PM
Adams for Abdullah accepted :drool:
Means I’ve essentially traded Abdullah and Coleman for Gurley and Adams and I’m more than happy with that.
You definitely did pretty well out of that :drool:
Just traded Crabtree for Ingram in the league of death where my current WRs are Crabtree, Diggs, Bryant, Agholor, Fuller & Shepard, while my RBs are Martin, Kamara & Montgomery (and David Johnson on IR). Pretty happy to make that trade, and i wasn't even the one who offered it.
Sir Andy Mahowry
25-10-2017, 07:35 PM
Doubly so as it's dynasty
Browning
25-10-2017, 08:21 PM
Indeed, if I have to I'll just sit and wait for Adams until Rodgers is back.
Abdullah was never getting a look in for my team unless something goes drastically wrong in the future, and by that time hopefully I'll have found something else. I would have liked to get a WR that can make an impact this year, and maybe Adams can, but if not it's no loss.
So, in my dynasty league I own both Raiders backs. I have room to play both, but I also have Alex Collins, as well as Devante Parker who may or may not be fit tonight & is playing Baltimore anyway, and Paul Richardson who’s always got a chance at giving solid production from two catches.
Rank them in 0.5PPR.
Sir Andy Mahowry
26-10-2017, 08:59 AM
Devante Parker if fit is my man.
Problem with Alex Collins is that, as well as being in a time share, he's not involved at all in passing downs. Harbaugh doesn't trust him enough.
If Parker can't go then you'd look to possible Jalen Richard who looks like he might get the most touches.
Yeah, Parker is the one I want to play, but I’m not sure if I trust him with the combination of questionable fitness, QB change & matchup against Baltimore.
Collins is steady but not good, while the Oakland boys are likely to both be crap or the one I bench be the good one. Richard is the favourite if I play one though.
Sir Andy Mahowry
26-10-2017, 11:29 AM
Collins needs touches but Marty the dickhead doesn't like calling run plays.
It's why I favour Buck Allen, they trust him in the passing game so he gets little screens and dump offs that Flacco loves.
Gray Fox
26-10-2017, 11:30 AM
Richardson
Richard
Washington
Collins
Parker
I just can't trust Parker there with the QB change. Never mind his health. Plus the Ravens play the pass well. Unless you've got no other real options and are still up tonight to check if he's active.
Richard did more with his catches than Washington, so may see a shift towards him on passing plays, but both him and Washington matched in rushes and catches last week. Mahow has Collins pretty much nailed on so that leaves Richardson. Wilson always seems to throw a few bombs his way during a game.
Texans are 5th best fantasy run defence, but rank 17th against the pass, so it makes sense he's going to see some good opportunity.
Yep, you’ve pretty much nailed my thought process on the whole dilemma :D
I also have Crowell, Perone, Ryan Griffin & Vance McDonald who could get in, as well as Mack Hollins if I fancy chasing a big play.
Gray Fox

In my work league I've bitten the bullet and traded Elliott. I got Lemar Miller and AJ Green in return. Nothing amazing, but seemingly fair value for Elliotts current situation. My roster looks a lot more balanced now. I'm 5-2 on a 4 game win streak which has me top of my division.
I face 3rd in my division and results depending, I can move 3 wins clear of missing a play off place. 2nd plays 4th on my side too, so there isn't really a bad result there. As for my matchup it looks like so currently.

The guy is active, he just makes his changes late in the week. Assuming he pulls from his bench, I'll know the state of play by the time Russell Wilson walks out on Sunday. The good news is that, should Brees go mental, both my HC and kicker should benefit.
As for TTH my win streak rolls right into Browning and I think we drop to 4-4. My riding the back of Zeke/Bell kind of shows when you look at other parts of the team. But hopefully I've got some good performers off FA. Fun fact for this one is that this is the first of my matchups I'm projected to lose in this league, before a ball is kicked.

Play Crowell, get to the game and push him into the end zone.
Browning
26-10-2017, 08:06 PM
With Diggs back and playing in the inevitable 57-0 game, do I start him over Sanu, Marvin Jones or Jordan Reed?
Part of me thinks Jones due to the horrible match up but if Tate sits he is in line for all the targets (Golladay isn’t a thing).
Sanu is the one to get rid of from that list.
No Parker tonight so I’m thinking Ryan Griffin & an Oakland RB or Paul Richardson for my two uncertain FLEX spots.
Sir Andy Mahowry
26-10-2017, 11:36 PM
Fucking Parker.
I have to start Tarik Cohen or Tyrell Williams now :\
Gray Fox
27-10-2017, 12:53 AM
Just received an interesting trade offer. Jordy Nelson for Keenan Allen. This is standard scoring, so that brings the value closer.
That's pretty ballsy.
Keenan Allen against the Patriots or Jordy Nelson against the Lions week 9? :sherlock:
Should’ve played Collins then :moop:
On the bright side, two of my opponents have the Ravens DST, and both left them on the bench.
Sir Andy Mahowry
27-10-2017, 10:22 AM
Ravens D (and Mosley in IDP leagues) have probably already won me a league or two.
I have the D in all three of my regular leagues with Mosley (17 points in one and 29 in the mental one) in my IDP leagues (oh and Brandon Carr in one).
I was the underdog in 3 prior to the game and now I'm favourite in all my games.
Browning
27-10-2017, 10:35 AM
My main league started off 50-50 and is still the same after the Miami DST let him down but Mosley made up for most of it and Buck Allen was shit for me.
Dynasty my opponent only had Stills who went slightly over but I’m big favourite still.
In my 4th league my opponent started as heavy favourite but I have overtaken him to about 53% thanks to the Ravens DST and Tucker (unfortunately Landry let me down.)
Sir Andy Mahowry
27-10-2017, 10:41 AM
Mert's team.
Still starting Fat Rob :sick:
His stats for the season would be 1 good game.
Gray Fox
27-10-2017, 10:53 AM
That's pretty ballsy.
Keenan Allen against the Patriots or Jordy Nelson against the Lions week 9? :sherlock:
I already have Evans(v Panthers) and AJ Green(v Colts) in this league so he doesn't just walk into the team. The question is how good the Packers passing game is now there's no Rodgers. Allen is reliable for PPR as he often gets 10 targets a game, but in standard it becomes much more about the big yardage plays and scoring. If we assume the play calling in Green Bay will remain similar, Nelson is all about red zone targets.
In truth I lean to keeping Allen as Hundley looked damn awful against the Saints.
Gray Fox
27-10-2017, 12:12 PM
I've just noticed my opponent made some changes last night, including bringing in Landry.
https://i.gyazo.com/aad9d9dff848e324acf38ac49d00679d.png
I now anticipate this being much closer. He's gone all in on the Chiefs v Denver, so I need to be up and up big by Monday morning. Interestingly he's also punted DeMarco Murray to the waiver wire. Though I'm not sure I can drop any of my RBs for him.
Sir Andy Mahowry
27-10-2017, 12:23 PM
Yeah, it's a shame you don't have a bigger bench.
Cut Stafford for him maybe?
I’ve been desperately sending out offers in my undefeated league to try to get another RB as I only have Gurley, Fournette & Mixon, meaning I have one active RB this week. Got a shitload of WRs though, so after a lot of trade offers I’ve just had one accepted - Doug Martin & Alshon Jeffery for Crabtree, Reed & Demaryius.
I picked the latter two up off waivers, so I have no issue ditching them to get Martin & Crabtree for Jeffery is even enough. I also have a waiver claim in for Emmanuel Sanders (yes, both Denver WRs have been dropped in this league) where I’m dropping Pryor, who I already picked up myself earlier in the year. The added bonus is that I’ll now have an extra spot to pick up a DST without having to consider dropping the Jags.
Limoutsonik
27-10-2017, 01:22 PM
Is A.J Green for Jordy straight up a good trade?The guy i traded Jordy for only has packers players and his roster is composed of the starting lineup and 3 other players and with Packers in a bye week,he has 8 points projected as his total :D
I’ll have the AJ Green side of that one for sure.
Sir Andy Mahowry
27-10-2017, 02:05 PM
Made a trade offer to THE DICKHEAD in my money league. Russell Wilson for Demarco Murray or Mark Ingram or Evan Engram.
I can't wait for him to counter back with Gronk, Dak and Wilson for Dalton and Run DMC.
Sir Andy Mahowry
27-10-2017, 07:37 PM
He's come back with Kyle Rudolph for Wilson.
Here's my team:
https://i.imgur.com/GQz3TuC.png
Ideally I need a RB but the two flex spots make it at least marginally acceptable.
Browning
27-10-2017, 08:20 PM
I probably wouldn't take that. You can get more value than Rudolph I think, he won't play often as you have Gronk other than in the flex. Plus if anything were to happen to Dak you have no other QB option. By all means trade Wilson away if the price is right but I wouldn't be tempted by that offer.
Sir Andy Mahowry
27-10-2017, 08:40 PM
I know but the problem is that I'm getting fuck all offers.
That's the best I've had this season and those were all pre-Rodgers destroying himself :(
Browning
27-10-2017, 09:20 PM
If that's the best you can get I would probably hold on to Wilson and play the match ups with the 2 QBs. Rudolph isn't a huge asset unless he's your starting TE.

29-10-2017, 04:02 PM
Ruuuuuuuuudolph.
I've benched Kareem.
Not in TTH, obviously - swapped CMC in for him in one of my Yahoo leagues. Also starting Tyrod in two leagues, so hopefully that game has some points in it - both teams are missing all their CBs, so there's potential for big plays.
I'm also playing without a DST in one league so I don't have to drop the Jags - currently 7-0 and three games clear of everyone else though, so I'm not bothered about taking a loss.
Sir Andy Mahowry
29-10-2017, 05:05 PM
Cooper with a catch on the first drive?
And a carry!
Benched Hooper for Ryan Griffin, and started both Raiders RBs only for Olawale to score :moop:
Gray Fox
29-10-2017, 05:36 PM
Hooper is annoying. He's not reliable enough to start every week, yet reels off a big game after you just lose trust.
As if Baltimore won 40-0 :moop:
Hopefully Seattle do similar.

29-10-2017, 08:23 PM
Genuinely thought I was starting Fuller in TTH. Guess I should have checked my team before going to the game today. Oops.
In my main league I've been in control most of the day but the Benjamin TD bought him back into it before the Bengals DST TD put me back in control. Currently lead by 32 with Big Ben, Reed and Marvin Jones left to play Vs Hopkins, Zeke, Smith-Schuster, Abdullah and Nugent. He also has an empty space at Safety so could add one which would push it closer. Yahoo gives me a 71% chance as it stands.
Dynasty seems more certain. I lead by 16 points with Cousins, Hopkins and Lev Bell Vs Prescott and D.Thomas. Essentially we both have out QBs and arguably our WR1.... but I have Le'Veon Bell and 16 points on top of that. Should be a win.
Gray Fox
29-10-2017, 08:25 PM
I was cursing Cohen vulturing the Bears TD, until I saw it put me to a 50/50 chance in TTH.
Mine and Brownings game is literally down to the wire as is.
EDIT: Fuck you Zeke.
I'm not feeling all that confident against Mert right now.
Sir Andy Mahowry
29-10-2017, 08:56 PM

Elliot is such a cunt.
I couldn't care that he's probably cost me in TTH too, but him beating me in my main league after almost beating me in Dynasty last week makes him a cunt of the highest order. I feel like I face him every week.
Sir Andy Mahowry
29-10-2017, 10:44 PM
Dak is trying to drag Baz back into this.
Close to making me lose one match too.
If he doesn't get anymore points then my opponent needs 22.76 from Antonio Browns and the Chiefs D.
You'll be fine in TTH - Theo Riddick would have to score a couple of times for it to get tense.
Sir Andy Mahowry
29-10-2017, 10:54 PM
Richardson would have been a good play this week, right?
Nah, Jalen Richard was a better choice. I'm still in with a good chance of winning that match, mind. Starting Will Fuller has a lot to do with that :D
Sir Andy Mahowry
29-10-2017, 11:00 PM
Hopkins, woof.
Mert has Cousins starting & Watson on his bench. I bet he's loving that decision now.
Sir Andy Mahowry

I was liking my position but then Graham scores 2 TDs late. Probably gives it to Browning.
Need Bell to outscore Kansas City D and Thomas by 3 points.
Gray Fox
29-10-2017, 11:59 PM
As for my work league, I'm leading 117.6 - 58.7, I have Kelce v Chiefs D, Chiefs kicker and Chiefs HC. The latter can get a max of 10 points, so my only worry then comes if the kicker and defence get 50 points between them and Kelce scores nothing.
Browning
30-10-2017, 09:35 AM
So that's a convincing loss in my main league that will see me drop out of the Play Off places on points scored. We can still recover it, but I feel like I'm having to patch my team up with shit every week and it's never going to get off the ground again, so I wouldn't be shocked if we miss the play offs despite starting out really strong. At least we get Gurley back now which will be a big boost. This morning I was able to drop Bullock, Griffin (one week fill in at DL while Campbell was on bye), Cincinatti and Amos (one week fill in at Safety) to pick up Succop, Vernon Davis (as typically Reed is injured the same week Rudolph is on bye), Buffalo DST and Tyvon Branch so hopefully there's some small upgrades there.
Despite Cousins playing like shit, we cruised to an easy win and 5-3 in Dynasty and look really good for the Play Offs. Next week will be tough with almost all of my elite RB squad on bye while Cousins will likely get fisted by the Seahawks, but after that we should be fine.
Gray Fox
30-10-2017, 09:10 PM
The guy who dropped Russell Wilson, then made a trade offer for him back about 2 days later after I picked him up, is back. He's basically begging this time. "Can I have Wilson back. please."
While he is Wilson, I'm mindful he has quite a tough play-off schedule. He has Fournette, Michael Thomas and Cameron Brate I'd be interested in, but highly doubt he gives one of those up even being a Seahawks fan.
Fournette & Thomas seems like a fair deal :)
That was close :|
I was really worried about this week, but I’ve just seen I’m playing GF, who has Bell on bye & Zeke currently re-suspended :D
I’m still not particularly confident though. My team looks pretty weak without Brown & Gordon.
Browning
31-10-2017, 09:00 AM
My team :drool:
Literally no idea how this keeps happening.
In my 4th league (the only other one that was still on last night) I needed DT and Butker combined to go over projection by about 0.6 points or something to win. DT let us down but Butker smashed it and covered the gap so we pick up a win. My opponent also plays in my Dynasty league and had his match won unless the Chiefs DST put up 20 points (their highest score of the season) and they delivered that too.
Facing a dilemma in dynasty. If I had them I would start both Tyrod Taylor (fuck Cousins Vs LOB) and Robby Anderson this week so I want to waiver claim both. Anderson is really likely to be snapped up by someone if I don't put him first, but Tyrod is the greater need most likely. Tough decision as to which one gets added first. If I do miss Anderson it's not the end of the world though as I would end up starting someone like Sanu or Robert Woods.

Browning
31-10-2017, 10:38 AM
Someone solve a mystery for me that has been bugging me for a few days.
I get the Yahoo notifications whenever I score a TD. On the Thursday night game I had a notification but it said something about Buck Allen fumbling after no gain. To my knowledge I didn't start any Ravens other than him and the Ravens DST... so what the fuck happened on that play? Had he recovered it himself then I would understand it, but seemingly he didn't.
Is that the one where Chris Moore dived on it in the end zone for a TD?
Browning
31-10-2017, 11:24 AM
Seemingly. Surely that's not a DST TD though?
Did the DST score 2 TDs aside from that and mean it was just a broken notification? Or is there something I don't understand going on.
Sir Andy Mahowry
31-10-2017, 12:31 PM
Because he fumbled even though it wasn't lost.
Some leagues have point deductions if a player fumbles (regardless if it actually matters) so Yahoo has to put a notification in.
Browning
31-10-2017, 12:43 PM
Yea, I get that part, but I only get notifications for TDs scored by my teams. If some random Raven's WR scored the TD I shouldn't have got a notification for it, as far as I know. Did that TD count for the DST, or did they just notify me because Allen was involved in a play that lead to a TD?
In this league you don't lose a point for a fumble if it's not lost, but I think that's stupid and have always been asking for it to be changed but had no luck.
Sir Andy Mahowry
31-10-2017, 12:50 PM
Allen was involved in a play that lead to a TD.
I guess it's almost like a semi-pass play but Allen got no points for it.
His fumble allowed Chris Moore to score the TD.
Well I'm fucked in one of my random yahoo leagues with 5 to 8 players on bye week :moop:

I was really worried about this week, but I’ve just seen I’m playing GF, who has Bell on bye & Zeke currently re-suspended :D.

I don't know, my team looks pretty uninspiring right now :D

I've just taken a look at my team and it's much worse than I thought.

Sir Andy Mahowry
01-11-2017, 10:15 AM
I was going to say that he's in a tough spot with no one else to cut but then I see OBJ who is dead for this season.
Browning
01-11-2017, 10:20 AM
He needs to cut OBJ or the Rams or a TE at the very least, but yea, in that scenario I can understand cutting an underwhelming Allen.
In other news I've traded Joe Mixon and Devin Funchess for Lamar Miller and Adam Thielen in my 4th league. No idea what we'll get from Funchess at the #1, but I couldn't pass that up given that Funcess struggles to get a game for me but I'm currently being forced to start Mixon. Hopefully the commissioner doesn't veto it.....

He's come back with Kyle Rudolph for Wilson.

Question for one of you veterans,in one of my many leagues,Jordy is available on a waiver but i already have Julio,Tyreek,Crabtree,Thielen and Diggs as WRs.Do i cut one of them and if so which one and why?
Browning
01-11-2017, 10:44 AM
I absolutely would add him. I wouldn't really want to drop any of those but if you have no other options I would drop Thielen or Diggs. I hate having 2 WRs on the same team anyway, and Nelson is probably an upgrade on either of them even with the QB situation.
Drop Diggs if you have to but definitely add Jordy Nelson if you can.
Add Jordy, trade any of the others to get someone else that fills a need.
Hell, add Jordy then trade him to someone else that didn’t get there in time.

I was looking at my recap for last week:
Five of the seven losses for Baz's Bumbandits this season have come when their opponent had their highest-scoring week of the season.
Poor bastard.
My TTH schedule:
Mert (this week)
Gray Fox (week 10)
Browning (week 11)
Dan (week 12) :|
Cry me a Rivers/Sam (week 13)
I avoid Mahow thank fuck. Playoff berth secured surely?
In my other Yahoo! leagues "All About The Angles" is nowhere to be seen while "The Pleb Train" is storming through with a 5-3 record and comfortably staying in a top 4 spot for an unexpected championship playoff run :cool:
We won't talk about my ESPN leagues :sherlock:
Baz has been really unlucky - he’s had 215pts more scored against him than Fay.
You do realise you have the best team at the moment, and there is more than one playoff spot, right ‘how? :D
I’ve just realised that Pleb has all three of the Seattle WRs :drool:
Browning
02-11-2017, 08:47 AM
Yes Mahow, who hasn’t out scored me since week 4, definitely has the best team right now...
You were the other team I considered.
QB is even, Mahow has better WRs & K, you have better RBs, TE & DST, but when you set it in a lineup I think I’d probably take his best team over yours by a small margin. Might just be that I never have good WRs so a team with a bunch of studs there just appeals a bit more.
I’d still take both over mine though :D Think I’d probably end up third or fourth.
Browning
02-11-2017, 12:38 PM
What's crazy is that if Dan and Mahow both win, Dan is officially in the Play Offs with 4 games to spare.
No one is quite out of it yet, but with even Ian (7th) essentially 2 games behind GF (6th) it does look like the current top 6 will be the 6 who advance.
I have a fair amount of Bills players in action tonight (Tyrod in my 2 main leagues, the Bills DST and Hauschka in my main league, Shady in TTH) so I may stay up and watch as I'm off tomorrow.
There you go Mahow, do you still want to win knowing you could guarantee me a playoff spot? :harold:
I have Tyrod & Smith in one league, and Tyrod & Jameis in another. I’m obviously playing him over Jameis, but what do we reckon with Alex Smith?
Browning
02-11-2017, 01:11 PM
I would probably start Smith over him.
Sir Andy Mahowry

Ugh, Savage passing to Hopkins now :(
Browning
03-11-2017, 03:51 AM
Well Tyrod going bat shit in garbage time bailed me out in my main league and got me back to 47% win chance which is roughly where I started despite starting the Bills DST and Haushcka both of which were shite. From where I was I’ll take it.
In dynasty I was expected to win by 30 and that’s increased to 40. 77% chance to win supposedly.
You were the other team I considered.
QB is even, Mahow has better WRs & K, you have better RBs, TE & DST, but when you set it in a lineup I think I’d probably take his best team over yours by a small margin. Might just be that I never have good WRs so a team with a bunch of studs there just appeals a bit more.
I’d still take both over mine though :D Think I’d probably end up third or fourth.
I’ll take your team now :D
Not sure whether I’m happy about Tyrod or not.

Which of these two scenarios would people recommend:
Start Austin Hooper vs the panthers even though I’m also starting Sanu and it’s a tough match up or...
Drop both Sam Bradford and Robert Woods to put in a waiver claim for Jared Cook.
This is in my dynasty league but annoyingly Bradford has been upgraded to Questionable meaning I can’t add anyone while he is on IR.

Bit shit that I forgot about the time difference this week and forgot to check if Kelvin would play (I was sure he'd be on a snap count) but at least ASJ was shit for Ian.
Had McCown found him in the end zone it could have been tight.

I like Jared Cook better this week, and possibly rest of season, but not sure it’s worth dropping two players to get him. Depends how much you value Woods & Bradford, and how much you need the win this week.
Great news for Mahow. Zeke’s allowed to play this week :moop:

I’m top of the standings but the league is tight and I don’t want to be throwing away a win. I am a big favourite but can’t take it for granted.
Woods I don’t value too much as he’s not even playing for me this week when I have Allen, McKinnon, Bell, Howard and Henry on bye. Bradford... who the fuck knows at this point.
I could also drop Hooper as I don’t trust him much but not sure about that.
I’d probably make the change then, although relying on Jared Cook, or Oakland in general, is a bit of a gamble.

Fucking A.
Helps me in another league too, although I did have Morris to start there.
Edit: In that league I had Bell, Howard and 'Zeke with only 2 starting spots. Was going to be horrible having none of them.

I'm in a strange position of thinking of not playing AJ Green.
They're at Sacksonville which is a horrible matchup for recievers and QBs alike. My other reciever is Keenan Allen and he'll have to be dropped. But McCoy scoring 2.5 has me already with one passenger.
You can’t not start AJ Green, because he’s good enough to go off against anyone, but yeah, I wouldn’t be happy about it.

Got some matchups i am currently thinking over so i would like your guys' professional opinion.We have:
Paul Richardson or Davante Adams?
Which 2 to start from Alvin Kamara,Tevin Coleman,Aaron Jones?
Larry Fitz or T.Y Hilton?
Do i flex Adrian Peterson,Crabtree or Jordy Nelson?
And lastly do i flex Amari,Alex Collins,Paul Richardson or Christian Mccaffrey?

Richardon. It's hard to trust Hundley.
Aaron Jones (only starter of the 3) and Kamara who Brees loves.
Tough one but I'd probably just side with Fitz. Hilton is on an awful run as he just has no chemistry with Brisett and you'd think that Stanton would make sure he gets it to Fitz.
Nelson has the Hundley factor and despite Crabtree being pretty damn consistent I'd go with Peterson. The match up is fucking ideal, they should feed him more carries with Palmer out and he's just had a bye so has a better understanding of the Cardinal schemes/plays etc.
If it was PPR, I'd side with McCaffrey as it is I'd probably go with Collins or Richardson.

I’m not rolling with Adams until we see him do something with the new QB so Richardson.
Bench Coleman out of those especially in PPR.
Hilton, Stanton is that woeful.
Tough call there but probably Crabtree.
Last one... Amari seems to be involved now so I would probably roll with him.

1. Richardson, but don't expect him to be anything like as good as last week. Just not sure what we're going to get from Adams yet - hopefully he still gets red zone targets & manages to get by on TDs, because he doesn't get much yardage.
2. Kamara & Jones, by miles. Play them both every week until Jones looks like shit.
3. Fitz is safer, but I won't be shocked if Hilton goes off this week.
4. Peterson has the best matchup, Crabtree is the most reliable. Jordy is still Jordy, but I think I'd wait a week on Packers WRs if I had the chance.
5. I like McCaffery this week, but Cooper if you want a gamble.

I thought picking up Yeldon and instantly dropping him would put him on waivers so no one could use him this week. Didn't work but I don't mind Pleb picking him up.
I've also picked up Jared Cook to cover off the Zach Ertz injury :sherlock:

You have to have them for over 24 hours or something, to stop people being cunts. :D

Yeldon or Buck Allen this week?
If I go with Yeldon I'll have to drop Allen completely, or Montgomery.
Such a Mahow thing to try :D
Yeldon I guess. Not sure you'll miss Buck Allen too much anyway.
