Bronn Stone Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 NE may be angry, but Alex Smith took them apart. I am actually leaning Brees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if Hightower is out, I'd go Brees. NE's defense fell the fuck out once Hightower was knocked out of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on last week performances, Brees. KC put up 40+ points against NE and allowed Alex Smith to throw for 4 TDs. GB shutdown Seattle and held Wilson to 0 TDs.

Bronn Stone Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I think is also important to remember Ryan wasn't particularly stellar against a Bears defense that I think is worse than Minnesota. Were it not for a gift TD to Austin Looper I mean Hooper, his line would have been dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 PPR league. I need to start 1 of these RB: Gillislee(@NO), CJ Anderson(DAL), Kerwynn Williams(@Ind). Kerwynn is a stretch so I'm leaning towards Gillislee. I had him on my bench last week and lost by 5, but it is NE so he could have 4 touches this week. Or I could bench Demaryius Thomas at my flex to start 2 of these, but it is a full point PPR league so having a good WR is the logical move.

Bronn Stone Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Until the Arizona and Denver backfields are sorted out, Gillislee is the safer play. Not by much, Bill being Bill, but the HR potential is too great. With a sure thing you go there. With three dice rolls, go with NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Dracarys Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Denver's backfield isn't that much of a mess since Anderson got 21 touches and Charles got 10. Charles also fumbled away his opportunity to become more 1b to Anderson's 1a. Gillislee might still be the safer play given that he played relatively well against KC, but NE is a terrible place to look for consistency.

Dallas's defense is not good, and it looks like Denver shored up their O-line to some degree. I would expect to see a lot of Anderson, as Denver should be looking to eat up clock and keeping the ball out of Elliott's hands. I hate starting NE backs unless I absolutely have to, and that backfield is more crowded than its' ever been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillislee might be worth a flex I think given he got 15 carries last week and goal-line duties. However, White also got 13 touches (10 carries and 3 touches). Better than Demaryius Thomas who only had 5 receptions, but still with the inherent risk of the NE backfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably go with Gillislee just because of the fear of getting burnt twice, but it will be a gametime decision. For whatever reason I'm cursed in this league so I feel that I'll make the wrong decision no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeyjack Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Went 4-0 this week. It's been a pretty good start to the season. Sitting at 2-0 in each of Experts, W-A, and W-B. I'm 1-1 in W-C, and that team sucks. But at least the win keeps it alive for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Bad week for me. Went 1-3, got blown out in two games, lost one in final few minutes of the last game that mattered and almost lost again last night. Overall I'm 3-5 on the year, but at least I'm 2-0 in W-C and 1-1 in W-B, but man, my high picks are not paying off so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of the North Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Uh...playin' .500 ball right now, I guess. I'm in six FF leagues...sitting at 1-1 in all six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Dracarys Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Rough start to this fantasy season to the tune of being 1-7 in Westeros related leagues (though in Keeper I had the second highest points for against the top scoring team this week), but have had significantly better starts in non-westeros leagues (3-1). Some players I had higher expectations from have been seriously under-performing thus far this season and some gambits haven't paid dividends. I think at least in B I need to take a more wait and see approach over the next few weeks because the team isn't bad. Westeros A is going to be a bit of a mess unless the WR corps starts playing up to it's draft cost. Dynasty is most harmed by losing it's best overall player and some under performing rookies.

Mudguard Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'm also having a rough start in my Westeros leagues: 0-4. It's still early, but I need to pick up some wins in the next few weeks, otherwise it's going to be very difficult making the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lyman Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 If you told me the score of a Ravens-Jaguars game would be 37-0, I might not be too surprised. If you told me that the Jaguars had the 37 points, I'd have to pick my jaw off the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briantw Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Two weeks in a row in my dynasty pay league that I've made a trade that helped me win. Last week I dealt with the guy I was playing, sending him Watkins in a package for David Johnson, who became available due to the injury, and Delanie Walker. The other guy started Watkins over Chris Hogan. That point swing combined with me starting Walker over Brate, who was my starting TE before that, gave me the win. This week, traded Zay Jones and a 3rd for DeSean Jackson and started him over Adam Thielen due to the match-up. Needed every bit of their four point score difference to win, as I ended up winning the week by .4 points. Given how my team performed last year (basically everyone got hurt and everything was awful and I ended up with the worst record, although to be fair part of that was due to some end of year tanking), I'm very happy with the 3-0 start, especially since I don't have my first rounder next summer.

Whiskeyjack Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 Went 2-2 this week. Should have been 3-1, but lost a game by 0.2 points. 3-0 in Experts 3-0 in Westeros B 2-1 in Westeros A 1-2 in Westeros C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
