ive been following him in the preseason, and i was able to get him in the 7th round, which was an absolute stealdepends on where you got him. he's been rising fast as hell, in 12 team I think his ADP is in like the 4th now. With Welker's suspension there's a little more reason to like him, but I probably wouldn't take him before the 6th-7th. Coming from a Steelers fan, he does not have the hands to be a 2013 Decker.
Eddie Lacy averaged 4.1 yards per carry last year. While that's not a terrible number, it doesn't blow me away either. I doubt Lacy is going to outperform the backs you showed, but I wouldn't be surprised if he regularly broke 100 yards and had a TD in most games. He doesn't catch many passes though, so that will be the limit of his fantasy productivity.Maybe this is a bold prediction, but despite everyone arguing Peterson vs McCoy vs Charles, I think Eddie Lacy will be the top back this year. He's shown all last year he can get the job done against stacked boxes and in the red zone, so with Rodgers back he shouldn't have a problem racking up 100 yards and ~1 TD every game. I'm trying desperately to get him in my league right now, thinking Gronk + someone else would be a pretty good deal for everyone once Gronk shows us he's back.
Yesterday I managed to dump off Chris Johnson + TY Hilton for Demaryius Thomas! Which leaves me an available bench spot to pick up Rod Streater (Derek Carr was already taken lol)!
what GM allowed that?I managed to dump off Chris Johnson + TY Hilton for Demaryius Thomas!
i'd probably do that trade.
+ hauschka and random defense
someone offered me jimmy graham + ryan mathews for demaryius thomas + rashad jennings but still thinking about that one...the mathews for jennings thing isnt too big of an issue since I can play gerhart depending on matchup if I need to, like in this week. Although, I might still start Jennings this week, even though it's against the lions run defense. but yeah, thoughts on the trade / this o.o
The waiver wire has juicier options but my roommate and I have a policy about keeping a Raider on the roster. Jones-Drew and Carr were both taken already so I have to hope Streater becomes Carr's favorite receiver instead of James Jones/Denarius Moore/Andre Holmes.Nice pickup with Rod Streater though, assuming he is the one Carr develops chemistry with first and not Holmes.

Honestly, if Cam doesn't play just pick up Derrick Anderson or some other QB. Do not start Jake Locker.apparently Cam isn't likely to play, looks like i'm starting Jake Locker in League C!
So pumped for tonight man...
Why the hell would anyone ever start Derek Anderson in anything other than a 20 team league where you start 2 QBs? Anderson is a proven bum in a run-heavy offense with few receiving options and even less of a rapport with them.Honestly, if Cam doesn't play just pick up Derrick Anderson or some other QB. Do not start Jake Locker.
