Smogon Fantasy Football: 2013-2014 Season
- Thread starter WaterBomb
- Start date
As someone who sat Coby Fleener in favour of Kyle Rudolph I support this message
Looking through weekly numbers, Jackson has put up a solid 10-15 points consistently. Also, I'd be starting Foster against my own defense, so I'd be torn between wanting scores or not. The KC Defense didn't end up great, but I didn't have to worry either way.
This week has been pretty awesome for me overall! I might win, assuming AP won't put up 36. That would leave me at the quite bad record of 2-5. And after some trading shenanigans last night I have 3 TEs: Jason Witten, Jordan Cameron, Jimmy Graham.
Well at least you can start one of the spares in your FLECKS spot!
I'm so fucked I can't even be mad about it.
Matt Ryan -- lolreceivingcorps
Reggie Wayne -- lolacl
Danny Amendola -- ...yeah
Trent Richardson -- ...has still scored below his projection in every game this season.
Brian Hartline is my WR1 going into next week, barring waiver pickups. Matt Forte is pretty much my entire team right now. I guess Seattle defense counts for something, still.

right wins, depending on the team.
if MJD is just going to be riding on the other team's bench (as is likely, considering he sux) then this trade is a complete waste of time for team A. Garcon is a top 10 WR, or at least pretty close, and I wouldn't buy into the Douglas hype until Roddy White comes back (he still has the potential to be decent to pretty good, but not as good as Garcon). If team A has Ray Rice and no real RB2 starting every week, I'd probably make the trade, but starting MJD every week is pretty risky in itself.

In my money league my opponent started cutler over ryan. I couldnt understand why until i read this. Receivers matter little unless a team is playing a really weak/strong front seven. Matt ryans stats will only go down when he faces a team that shuts down the short passes. Then it would be hard for backups to consistently beat defenses down the field. Consistently enough to put up 300 yd games at least.
Anyway, he got -1 from cutler and passed on 29 from ryan.
I would have started Cutler over Ryan too. Cutler was facing arguably the worst defense in the league with Marshall, Bennett, Jeffrey, and Forte. I would have needed to see how well Ryan would play with his new receivers.
Ryan will still be a QB1 in fantasy. Since the Falcons have no run game they will still be forced to throw a lot.
Ouch. He dropped an easy 30 yard TD. Was he the best you could find on the waiver wire?
This was in a 14 man league, so yes.
I'm pretty much in the opposite situation. My money league has only 4 bench spots, so there's a ton of talent riding the waiver wire. This week, I can (probably) get one of the following:
Chris Ivory (might become the feature back)
Mike James (if Doug Martin is put on IR)
Ben Tate (hamstrings are dangerous, Foster could reinjure it any game this season)
Jordan Reed (has looked fantastic, I've had my eye on him for a while in deeper leagues)
Harry Douglas (he'll still put up numbers as the #3 target)
Jarrett Boykin (new #3 in Green Bay, looked alright last week)
Darrius Heyward-Bay (new #2 in Indi)
almost literally everyone else you could think of that's on your waiver wire
I'll be dropping Eli Manning for one of them (bye week QB). I'm rather thin at RB2 (Charles, Bell, and MJD), but could also use a weekly WR/TE flex starter (currently bouncing between Jordan Cameron, Marques Colston, and Greg Jennings is on the bench). Any advice? I really really like Reed, and his playoff schedule (weeks 15-17, Atlanta/Dallas/NYG) is fantastic. Thinking Reed > Ivory > Douglas > DHB at this point, but I might take a gamble on Tate or grab two of them in place of Jennings.
