Him & CJ Anderson did a number on me this week, thought I was getting an easy W until they messed it up. Now I'm down 8 with Justin Tucker still to play. |
Wow, I bet you were happy that CJ didn't go into the end zone at the end of the game 
Tucker should be able to get you 8. |

And he got you your points. Grats!
I was up 36 going into tonight against Forsett.. to say I was sweating at the end would be putting it lightly. |

| Forrsett killed me tonight. Went into tonight up 23 with Sammy Watkins going. Ended up losing by 17. Could have clinched a first round bye. |

Ouch. I picked up Forsett in the 2nd or 3rd week after gambling on Ray Rice with my 6th pick. Then Lorenzo Taliaferro ended up having a big game Week 3 and I ALMOST dropped Forsett. Luckily, I held onto him and he's helped me take over first place. Need a strong outing next week to clinch a 1st round bye.
Good luck to you guys who are still in the hunt. My players are going up against some really stingy defenses in the final weeks, so I am going to need a little bit of luck down the stretch.

Forsett absolutely saved me this week. I ended up winning by less than 1 point lol. I just picked him up earlier in the week. |

Did someone drop him last week during the bye? Or has he been available this whole time? I think the guy is averaging the most yards per carry in the league right now. Pretty sure he's ranked in the top 10 as far as RBs are concerned. Wow. Nice pickup, albeit a bit late.

Yep, pretty pleased with Tucker this week. Just managed to get the W
Forsett had a hell of a game, the guy who had him in our league benched him for Denard Robinson |

Glad I picked up ODB(Odell Beckham) before anyone else did. I had a feeling he would put up numbers. He's been amazing so far, and that catch was ridiculous.

Ryan Tannehill or Russell Wilson? QB has been my weak spot this year, but I've been compensating with the other positions (Murray, Bell, Maclin, Sanders, Megatron/LaFell, Graham). Right now in 2nd, tied for best record but 12 points shy of 1st and this week is against #1. Current 3rd place team is really strong but 4th looks to be weak come playoffs time so it'll be best to notch that #1 spot this year.

My friend is out of playoff contention, and as I'm in, they've offered me any of their players on the cheap. Is this unethical?
I can get Drew Brees in exchange for Philip Rivers, but am not sure if it is fair...

I would have said Tanny but it's too late now, sorry.
Tanny is playing the NYJ. He'll have to throw all day and I think the Jets give up more passing TDs than any other team in the league. (If not the most, they are up there).
Meanwhile, they have a decent rush defense. Add in the fact Tanny gets you points on the ground, it's Tanny ALL THE WAY. (I'm playing him in my $200 league but I put him in over Matt Stafford. UGh!) |

I tried to pick up tannehill this week but someone beat me to it. I have to roll with either Joe Flacco or Matt Ryan. Not too thrilled with either one.

It's definitely collusion that will probably get vetoed if you have an active LM. That said, if you want to do Brees for Rivers, add some bench scrub to make it look less lopsided and maybe it'll go through. It's not like you're swapping for Luck or Manning. |

In that case...
Definitely don't take all of his best guys though. There's no better way to piss off the rest of your league. |

Except karma can be a b**** in situations like these. Usually trade deadlines hit after about week 11... I wouldn't do it, man. IF you do it and end up winning, lots of people are gonna cry foul.

I figured the same and the Jests are a mess. As long as he puts up at least 17 (which is roughly what Russell got), it should be fine. Though I may need more unless KC's defense comes up big against Peyton.

| Special teams were gangsta for me. Seattle with 18 and legendary Eagles kicker Cody Parkey with 15. Hopefully Charles and Bell can shred the Broncos and Saints. |

^^ yea, Parkey helped me out by basically neutralizing my opponents Alshon Jeffrey (who of course had one of his best games all year)

Secured a 1st round bye with a solid win this week. I'm up 14 points with Miami DEF still left to play. Going wide receiver heavy in early rounds seems to have paid off. I whiffed by drafting Rice, but made up for it by picking up Forsett. Drafted Tre Mason just becuz I had a feeling he would blow up. But I let him go when I picked up Forsett.
I think I will do the same next year. Use my last few picks to gamble on dark horse/high upside players. I Probably won't draft a Defense. Will just stream week to week.

Le'Veon Bell is a beast. Hopefully I can ride him and Demaryius to a fantasy championship win. I have a first round bye this week but glad to see Le'Veon dominating, especially with Atlanta on the slate next week.
