Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 How many teams we talking in your league IamMe90? Don't discount the waiver wire. There are almost always some sneaky good matchup grabs you can make if you take a hard look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, I mean on the one hand you've got the Giants being terrible against TEs, but on the other you've got the fact that Cook has a more consistent output throughout the season, doesn't share TE snaps like Henry does, and appears to have a rapport with EJ Manuel, which will matter in PPR. I'd probably go with Cook, but take my opinion with a grain of salt, as I'm new to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamMe90 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Thanks Now I will put forward my own inquiry to board for advice... Do I start Lynch or Collins (Ravens)? I'd rather not start either, but I lost Cook and RB in my league is razor thin. Lynch has been a major disappointment, and the offense in this game should struggle even more without Carr. On the other hand, Collins is more of an unknown, and does have a penchant to fumble. But he's also accumulated over 80 yard in back-to-back games with (I believe) a limited snap count. And the Raiders are in the bottom 3 teams when it comes to giving up rushing yards. Argghhh. I'm leaning slightly toward Collins, but I have this feeling that no matter which one I pick, it'll somehow end up being the wrong choice... haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 40 minutes ago, l2 0 5 5 said: Drop Jared Cook for Hunter Henry?? PPR league. Hmm, Jace would. The Chargers do have the talent to snap out of their cursed funk. But Jace is also referring to herself in the 3rd person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 Yeah, those are both tough sit/start dilemmas. I think I'd edge towards Henry on the TE one, only because I don't trust EJ Manuel at all. Probably Collins on the RB question due to recent performance, and the opponents weakness against the run.

l2 0 5 5 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I think Hunt has a higher ceiling than Cook, but Cook at least has a solid floor; where Hunt has had multiple 0 point outings... The plagues of fantasy football.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMe90 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 So I made it to the playoffs in my league, and I am absolutely dying here with 2 choices wherein I have switched the players involved 5 times already. choice 1: Kareem Hunt or Giovani Bernard at RB2 choice 2: Josh Gordon or Marquise Goodwin at flex on choice 1: Hunt has been abysmal at worst, and mediocre at best for a sizable run of games. On the other hand Andy Reid is no longer playcalling, which is encouraging, it will be a hard-fought and very important divisional game for KC against a porous Oakland D, and Hunt has proven to have huge upside when utilized correctly. On the other side of the things, Bernard will in all likelihood be Cincinnati's bellcow RB this week. Mixon is out, Hill is on IR, and next on the depth chart is a rookie who has never had any real playtime experience. He showed signss of brilliance against a tough Pitt D last game, averaging 6ypc with 2 receptions. Historically, he's been a pretty underrated rusher too who has done very well considering his utilization; he just isn't the sort of RB that can be an every-down runner throughout a season. Also, the Bears suck on the road. I think he's got a much safer floor, but also a significantly more-limited ceiling than Hunt. on choice 2: this one is slightly less agonizing. I'll probably roll with Gordon. He's an amazing football player. He racked up 85 yards on 4 receptions with a promising 11 targets against one of the best pass defenses in the league, while being covered by the current #1 ranked corner in the league. Said corner said he was the most difficult opponent he's faced to date, over such pushovers as OBJ, Bryant, Cooks, DT, Crabtree, Tyreek Hill, and Alshon Jeffrey. And he's going against an already-terrible Packers secondary (coming from a Packers fan) that's without corner Kevin King (placed on IR today). However, Deshone Kizer also sucks. Like, really sucks. There's a reason why Gordon only caught 4 out of 11 targets from Kizer, and that's because Kizer throws a football like Travis Kelce does. Except maybe worse. And then there's Marquise Goodwin. he's been mostly quiet this season as a deep threat with the occasional big play, and it hasn't translated into the kind of fantasy consistency that you would normally want to bank on in an important game. But with Jimmy G under center, he caught an amazing 8 of 8 targets for 99 yards. He's the clear #1 go-to receiver for Jimmy, and Jimmy appears to be good. Like, legit good at throwing. And the Texans have a weak secondary right now. My tentative plan for choice 2 is to go with Gordon against the juicy Packers matchup, and switch him out for Goodwin during the less-than-tempting Baltimore matchup, and switch HIM out for Gordon during the horrifying Jax matchup... if I make it that far. But I'm seriously agonizing over choice 1! Fantasy Football Board Hivemind: any advice? If it helps, my for-sure lineup otherwise will be QB: C. Keenum RB1: M. Lynch RB2: ?? WR1: A.J. Green WR2: M. Thomas TE: H. Henry Flex: ?? K: Who cares (the Jets kicker lol) <3 u all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbigski Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 So I've never been a commish before but looks like we are starting up a dynasty league. A few questions: What are people's favorite hosting sites for dynasty leagues? Does anyone have a league constitution they can share with me? Any oddball seeming rules in leagues you are in that turn out to be a lot of added fun? We're definitely doing live drafts and an annual in person league meeting.
