Truer words were never spoken. So I assume they originally called it a TD for Lynch, then Arizona challenged and got it overturned? And just like that, took 6 points away from me and gave 4 points to my opponent on the next play? Awesome. Also, I would expect nothing less from the way this year has been playing out for me. I've had lots of good luck in fantasy over the years, so I guess I shouldn't complain about the scales evening out a little. But I think I still will.
I know I have Morris and its killing me.
I am right there with you. Let's review.... Philly and Dallas were averaging nearly 30 points a game offensively and giving up 20+ defensively. They went into a defensive battle of punt-punt-punt. I started Foles and got 5 points...opening the door for my opponent.
you logic. I sat RG3, so there goes 20 points! I'm so angry I could vomit. I'm only in contention because I have Matt Forte. I'm anxiously hoping for a quiet night from his players and that AP can carry me tomorrow. But I have that sick feeling.Don't feel bad. None of us do. The experts don't, either. They're right about the same percentage that any of us are. I was thinking about going back and looking at all of the replies I've posted in this thread to see how often my advice turns out to be good and how often it's bad, but I decided not to because it would probably be too depressing.
HAHA, exactly. If you follow a particular "expert" column long enough, you'll begin to realize he picks as many duds as you do. Fantasy football is mostly about luck. You need knowledge about the league to pick good players and avoid making really, really dumb starts during the year, but you mostly have to get lucky. How annoyed are Morris owners right now, especially if they lost? Massive shootout...he gets over 90 yards...and 3 TDs vultured by Helu. No one could have called that, and it's not like you did something wrong for starting Morris. You could just got unlucky.
I'm hearing mixed reports. Some say he is likely done for the year; others that he will miss "some weeks." Either way, if you own Martin, put in a claim for Mike James. If you don't own Martin, though, not even sure if James is worth the pickup, unless you are utterly desperate. The Tampa Bay line is beyond awful, and they were already giving Martin, a very talented guy, zippo to work with. Don't see James better.
I read that Doug Martin was done for the year and then a few hours later Schiano was saying "oh, we think we'll play again this year." If his injury is season ending, is that another nail in the fire Schiano coffin? I'm imagining him wheeling Doug out there after a surgery and berating him for not playing.
I don't like dropping any of them, maybe you can swing a trade? I think Jeffery is the best candidate with Cutler out for the next 4 weeks.
is wrong with the Vikings franchise? They even highlighted that the O-coordinator had a play calling sheet about the size of a cocktail napkin. And even when Freeman had an open man (which was only the first half), he threw it over their heads by 3 feet. And then had the absolute gall to smile and laugh as he came off the field.
Cecil Short. Garbage time points still count. We know the Jags will most likely trail, they will throw, and defenses are seeing what Blackmon did his first two weeks back. Shorts was playing through an injury last week and posted 80 yards. For the TE's, it's a crapshoot. Neither are dependable.
Not a fan of Palmer. His offensive line is swiss cheese, so he's not able to make plays and tends to panic throw. This is likely his best match-up since week 1 (@STL) but hasn't cracked more than mediocre numbers yet with a few stinkers. But if those are your choices, avoid Pryor (PIT matchup is bad), and take your gut for Palmer vs Tannehill. Helu is the best option there, but that is chasing the points. But he did this same act against Oakland, so maybe he gets some split carries. Keep Mendenhall....they insist on keeping him fed for some insane reason. I like Boykin most of the WR's. Rodgers has taken anyone with the designation #3 receiver and made them a star.
Ugh, punt? Bolden had his best week, but only had 8 touches. Belichick is impossible to predict, but I don't consider Bolden to be dependable. Thompkins only saw 5 targets, Gronk is back and that limits all other WR's. I'm guessing Mike James will be the hottest name, but it's a complete gamble with their next game against the Panthers. They've quietly been a really good defense. Marvin Jones could be a steal if he continues to get targets like he has the last two weeks.
I think the phrase "bruised spinal cord in his neck" answers that question. I wish him the best and a full recovery (and I'm a Bears fan!) but I don't think we'll see him on the field anytime soon.
