He went 34 I think, Calvin was 7, demaryius was 14, gio at 27, and brown at 34. He was overlooked by many. Nobody though he'd be a number 1 in this league.

Ironic that Gio is turning out to be your bust. Maybe that will change today. Still, he was a no brainer 3rd round pick, especially when your first two were WRs. I'm not crazy about handcuffs, but I give credit to everyone who said that Hill was a must-have for Gio owners.

Here's hoping Brady kicks a little Packer ass today. :suds:

not sure, but i was under the impression in this hypothetical that this was the only way to get him better...

Sure.

The whole thing started because he said nobody would trade with him. I made the comment that if I were another top team in his league, I would not exactly be eager to help him out unless the deal helped me more than it helped him. If players in his league have similar outlooks, that could be why nobody is willing to deal.

Also, it is kind of difficult not to have at least halfway decent WRs this year. You would have to not be trying very hard.

I can second that, even if he weren't on my fantasy team.

Another week, another elite wr to sit. Anyone want to help? I won last week. Calvin vs Tampa, Brown at Cinci, demaryius at buffalo, Gordon vs Indy or Benjamin at New Orleans?

I couldn't have been more wrong last week.

But I'll chime in with Demaryius Thomas. Outside, road game, Bills D.

My second choice would be Gordon.

Except the Broncos are at home, so Demaryius plays in familiar territory.

Benjamin is not even in the discussion.

Brown and Thomas have the toughest matchups, but I don't know how to sit either. Gordon in garbage time in Indy is a must start, so maybe it is Calvin at Tampa Bay?

Good luck man.

I think Calvin at Tampa is the most startable. I'm leaning towards Gordon again because he'll be going against Davis of the Colts who is a very good corner. Brown is going against a top two passing defense though.

Maybe, my only concern with Calvin is game flow. If the Lions go ahead early, they may not be throwing much in the 2nd half. Gordon will have the opposite issue and WR1s have been torching Indy lately.

I could make a good case for Benching Brown if you are concerned about Ben struggling on the road again, but honestly, I don't think you should stress about this too much. They are all awesome starts this week and it sucks that you can't play 1 of them, but it is what it is.

Yeah but there isn't anyone Stafford likes to throw to more, when healthy, than CJ. He'll get his, even if it's in the first half.

Hmm. DT was stepped on in practice. Could be limited if he plays.

Not this week. Not gonna tell ya who to sit out of that bunch but I'll say I'd be starting gordon in every league I own him in this week.

Colts RCB Vontae Davis (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Browns.
Josh Gordon is licking his chops. Darius Butler and Josh Gordy will be forced into heavier snaps opposite LCB Greg Toler. All three cornerbacks are easily burnable. Gordon runs routes all over the formation as the Browns' X receiver, so he'll see some of all three. He's a locked-in, must-start with WR1 overall upside.

Well, the Cleveland game is not going anywhere near like I thought it would. They have not had to throw at all really.
