2012 Fantasy Football

Last week was a bad beat. Had the 2nd highest total, lost because the Bears couldn't kick one, single, field goal.

I lost because the Bears defense gave up so many points and yards that they got me negative points. Going into the game they were the #1 defense in the league.

Had a stacked team in where I made a trade (that I posted on here) of Ryan, Torrey, Freeman, Cook for Vick, Gronk, Cutler, Larry Fitz in I think week 6 before Gronk really blew up.

Anywho, my lineup after injuries now was:

QB - Fitzpatrick/(Vick)/matchups
RB - Foster
RB - Martin
RB/WR - Richardson
WR - Hoolio
WR - Fitz/Lloyd
TE - Gronk/(?)

I was #1 in scoring and through some bad luck matchups and high score against, I'm sitting barely in the playoffs right now.

I had $15 left in auction money, which was close to tied for the lowest remaining amount left. I spent it all on Kaepernick. Thoughts?

What are you doing for TE? Who's available? Myers from Oakland?

3rd in points for/highest in points against and Im in 7th place out of 10. This is the worst part of fantasy football, considering someone ahead of me is 2nd last in points for/lowest PA.

I have a shot to make the playoffs, but there are just too many teams to pass.

I'm not sure. I think somebody owns Myers.

I went from having probably the best every week lineup to having to hope that my 3 top 10 RBs will carry me through the rest of the year.

Need 2 WRs

Dez Bryant
Torrey Smith
Julio Jones
Justin Blackmon
Danario Alexander
TY Hilton

Think Dez is a must start, but not sure about the other spot with Jones banged up and Smith so inconsistent.

I am going against Arian Foster and Dez Bryant. It would be a much easier pill to swallow if I didn't stupidly (for the second week in a row) play Matt Ryan over RGIII.

That's funny.

I have Foster and Bryant.

I'm currently losing to the guy with RGIII and Calvin Johnson.

My guess is we'll blow the rest of the league away this week.

Still undecided about which second WR to play.

I'm thinking Blackmon or Alexander.

RiotPunch · Post #1031 » by **RiotPunch** » Fri Nov 23, 2012 2:15 am

I'd go with Danario, but Blackmon is a solid start as well.

Picked up the Pats D this week. Wow.

I have Matt Ryan, AP, Calvin, Wes Welker, Alfred Morris, Lynch, Jimmy Graham, Shayne Graham, and Bears Def (didn't play RGIII and that is going to kill me).

The guy I am going against has Brady, Arian Foster, Doug Martin, Julio Jones, AJ Green, Dez, Owen Daniels, Gostowski, and the Denver defense.

In a twelve team league I am second, he is third, and the person in first just happens to go against garbage teams every week and faced us when we had most of our best players on bye.

I am going to be pissed because whoever wins it will end up like 170 to 165 and everyone else will win 73 to 69. Weird to be in a league with so many bad fantasy players and see how much it actually hurts you. If it was based off of points I would have it wrapped up.

midranger · Post #1034 » by **midranger** » Fri Nov 23, 2012 8:35 pm

Crazy, I just about have that guy's team.

Sub Ryan for Brady, and Marshawn Lynch for AJ Green and that's my team.

I'm killing my league though.

The most annoying thing about it, the number one guy who is undefeated has this team

Brees
Jamaal Charles
Mendenhall
McCoy
Harvin
Marshall
Nicks
Gresham
Bryant
Houston Def

The dude wins every week because every week the team he is facing has a crap week including myself. I have never disliked having such a loaded team this much. I have lost three games by less than a point, every time 195.60 to 196.21 and he is winning 53 to 41. I have been playing fantasy football since the days of Barry Sanders and I have never seen anything like this. My backups score more points than almost every team in the league every week. Hopefully it evens out when the playoffs start in two weeks since I will miss out on the wildcard more than likely.

I lost one game by 0.6 points on literally the last non-kneel-down play of MNF. It was a 10 yard catch by Mike Wallace that he 90% certain trapped on the ground, but was ruled complete on the field and "stood" on replay.

BTW, that was the same week that Harbaugh refused the safety, which would have also won it for me.

I was dismayed to say the least as I watched that unfold.

I tied a game earlier this season with a garbage time extra point. I should have easily won, but had terrible weeks from my best players and this was the only point the kicker had. (Hanson when Detroit played Chicago on MNF)

My WR, need 2 (PPR):

Have Harvin and Jennings - who are OUT

My other options are Julio, Torrey and Blackmon - I'm tempted to go with Torrey and Blackmon just because of Julio's injury.

If you need a last second flex option, Moreno is getting the start. I picked him up to stash in case he does anything.

thoughts on which running back to start in a standard league

Bradshaw/Brown(NYG)/Brown(PHI)
