Sit/Start Week 8

[Banedon]

I'm having an amazingly awful year. Still winless thanks to injury and being far and away the most scored upon team in the league. But I've turned it into a pride thing. If keep trying to win, and still go winless, there's some kind of accomplishment in that, right? Ok maybe not...

 

Anyway...

 

I know I'm using my flex spot for a WR, but I have 4 WR's choices. Calvin Johnson, Miles Austin, Hakeem Nicks, James Jones.

 

I'm leaning toward benching Nicks...he's been by far the worst of the 4 on the season.

[Smack]

I would rank them Johnson, Austin, Jones, Nicks.

 

 

I'm in a 10-Team 2 QB league in the midst of bye weeks. I need to start 2 of Alex Smith, Russell Wilson, Ryan Tannehill? Oh, the joy.

 

I'm leaning Smith/Wilson.

In my other league I'm deciding between Randall Cobb and Rashad Jennings as my flex player. I'm leaning Cobb.

I'd probably go Cobb as well.

 

Green v. MIA, F. Jones v. NYG or Stephens-Howling v. SF for my FLEX? I'm thinking Jones

I heard Jones might not play? Greene isn't flashy but if Jones is gimpy I Greene the best. He'll get 15-20 touches and he gets the ball in goal line situations.

I'm pretty sure he's playing. I think he practiced yesterday and is scheduled to today. But I will probably waffle between Jones and Greene up until game time.

 

Also I think Cobb is a must start for you, news came out this morning Nelson missed practice yesterday and is missing again today with a hamstring injury and possibly won't test it until game time sunday.

Not really a question as much as pointing out my dumbassery. I benched Doug Martin this week, despite having a hunch that he might do well. The reason I benched him....because I didn't want to use almost half my roster on Thursday night. I had Vincent Jackson, Adrian Peterson and Percy Harvin in my lineup and didn't want a 4th player from that game. To add insult to injury, I'm playing against Martin in another league.

 

And speaking of Harvin. I made a point of drafting Harvin in every league I'm in (3). He's been one of the top players in fantasy football this year, PPR or regular. I know several people that wouldn't touch him the last 2 years because of his concussions, but that's stupid. He hasn't missed much time in his career because of them, and they've been a complete non-issue for 2 years. He gets more touches than any WR in the league because he doesn't have receiving talent around him and he gets the ball out of the backfield. Oh and he'll also return kicks. Can't beat touches in fantasy football. Next year, I'm going to jump all over Randall Cobb if the Packers don't re-sign Greg Jennings (they won't). On pace for 98 catches this year, can see him getting more touches in the backfield with Benson out, and he also returns kicks.

Antonio Brown vs Washington

Or Maclin vs Atlanta

Brown

 

Antonio Brown or James Jones v. JAC (now that Nelson isn't playing)? I'm leaning Jones

[Pushfrog98]

I freaking sat Doug Martin.

[tfarks]

Ouch. I sat Stafford. Didn't end up mattering though.

 

Antonio Brown is a bust. I was debating between him, Austin, Decker, and Thomas when I drafted. Whiffed the only way I could.

I took him too and I'm guessing at least a few of those guys were avaible to take instead as well. Brown does have more targets than any of those guys listed and is tied for 15th most in the league, his problme is he's not scoring TD's (he only has 1 those guys all have 4 or 5 so an extra 18-24 points). I still think he has a good finish to the year, Ben is going to keep targeting him 8-12 times a game.

Yeah, he's been really frustrating for me as well. My 3wr's + 1rb (Gore going tonight) combined for around 15pts. That is unacceptable.

 

I'm going to lose to some guy who hasn't touched his roster since week 2 and has Greg Jennings(out) and Fred Davis (IR) starting.
