Bigger Faster Stronger Louder

[blstoker]

Thought that was a good trade for both sides. Blstoker had depth at TE to spare having Gronk and you were in need of a TE with Abdullah to spare.

That was my thinking, though it irritated me that it waited until after Monday to complete the trade - cause I really needed Abdullah this week (or at least I did before my WRs went ape shit). I had thought Abdullah was primed for a good game against Chicago - and it did turn out better than Turbin did (who I picked up cause the trade hadn't gone through).

As for mis-evaluating my team, I went with Gronk first due to the advantage he gave me at TE, so the viewed weakest position is now my strength (and Seattle's D has been solid overall for fantasy). To do this, I had to put faith in rookies, suspended players and sleepers, and right now I hit on all the ones I expected except Melvin Gordon. Those first 4 weeks were brutal trying to come up with a starting line up while having so many injured and suspended. Doug Baldwin actually helped keep the WRs going by scoring 10+ nearly every week (4 of first 5) and now he'll move to the bench and fill in when needed.

By the way in our league I am looking for a RB

Willing to part with one of my top WRs if the deal is right

That was a very good offer you made, but I was scared to trade Gio and I highly doubt you want the RBs I'm willing to part with. Got to say Freeman has been a beast for you.

I got to say I'm impressed with what you did with your roster. You turn lemons into lemonade. Really impressive.

I have won my first game! WHOOO

 

[blstoker]

Sorry Harold, looks like that Giants defense has been absolutely brutal for you today.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Sorry Harold, looks like that Giants defense has been absolutely brutal for you today.

So far they have been brutal, but still a half to go. Ryan is sucking today, got to hope for a rebound in the second half.

 

[blstoker]

Poor Lethal - 57 points from the back up QB....

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Poor Lethal - 57 points from the back up QB....

Also Bree's put up 60.

 

[Logicallylethal]

Poor Lethal - 57 points from the back up QB....

I withstood the barrage from Brees though. Have a shot to win.

It's funny because I started Eli in a different league where the team I'm facing benched Brees. This one with Rivers who has been killing it and Eli dropping duds hard to predict a 6 TD game. That's fantasy for you.

Despite being ranked 6th in RBs and 10th in WR - I somehow have the season's highest single week rushing and receiving totals....

 

[Uhsplit]

I suck.

 

[blstoker]

I suck.

I wouldn't say that. It just appears that you should be getting more consistency with the players you have than you have been getting. Just one example is Jeremy Hill. Everyone thought that he was going to have another good season, but he hasn't shown any potential that he's gonna get over 1000 yards, and if not for a couple big td games, he's been a disappointment. It wasn't a bad 1st pick, but it's turned out that way.

Hell, I feel for itsmytime. Their entire top end of the draft has been a disaster, with injuries and other under performances, their entire draft has been shot.

Yeah been a tough year for FF owners. RBs have been a disaster. Either injuried or under performing. So far owners that have Freeman are about the only ones smiling. Even QBs have hurt some with Romo and Big Ben getting injured. Others like Luck are having a tough year. WRs with Dez, Nelson and Benjamin getting hurt.

So it's about hitting the waivers hard and fast. Lethal was grease lighting grabbing D. Williams.

Pfft I'm 2-6 now boys, the comeback is real!

JK my team blows.

Start wheeling and dealing. We need more of that in this league.

Exactly! I have a poised to break out Vernon Davis up for grabs!

 

[blstoker]

Pfft I'm 2-6 now boys, the comeback is real!

It's ok, I just looked at my remaining schedule - in the remaining 6 games, I play all 5 of the other teams with 4 or more wins. Which includes the top 4 scoring teams. I could easily be 1-5, 2-4 to finish out. The remaining schedule for me is just brutal.

I think I was 5-2 last year at one point and ended up 7-7 and missed the playoffs. Shit gets crazy in this league.
