Gronk is out, I need a back up

[wildturkey]

Best available on the wire are Brent Celek and Scott Chandler. Which one should I get? Chandler seems to be a favorite target of the Bills in the red zone but they rarely get there. Celek gets decent yards but he hardly ever scores (much like the Eagles).

Damn it Gronk! You're not suppose to get hurt. You're Gronk!

Happened to me too. And after I pulled off a trade to get him.

Luckily I had Heath Miller to back up.

I've decided to roll the dice on Dwayne Allen on the Colts. I realize Fleener will be back soon but Luck has targeted Allen quite a bit. Maybe that will continue. I'm screwed either way. There aren't any decent options left

The injury bug caught up with me this past week too. McGahee going down for the season means I need to pick up another viable flex option. I did pick up his backup, so hopefully I can get the same production from him. Plus, I also picked up Beanie Wells since he's coming back from the IA list this week. We'll see how things work out, but I'll be keeping an eye on Cedric Benson as well when he's planning on coming back in a few weeks.

Thanks for the tip on Beanie Cobra. Needed another RB option and he was available in my league.

Maybe I can get some bust redemption now since I wasted a pick on him in the draft.

cobra...i think beanie will slowly be worked back in slowly this week. get parmalee from the jags for this week.

 

[powerchord86]

Damn husk, nice find there too. I had room for him as well.

Now just to decide who to start.

And I just picked up Marcel Reece a couple days ago. AP is a lock in my other RB slot.

Big Ben, Demarco Murray, Willis McGahee, Greg Jennings, Santonio Holmes, all on my team, all injured. That's on top of one off injuries like Owen Daniels missing a game, Calvin Johnson playing hurt all season, Kenny Britt and Steven Jackson not being right all year. I did something to piss of the fantasy football gods this year.

First year doing a Fantasy league (10 teams) and so far sitting with a two game lead at 9-2. I think I've made some decent picks throughout the year, with only one that I regret letting go. Watching the first game with Green Bay, I saw how much potential Randall Cobb had and decided to add him after that game. A couple weeks later, he wasn't getting much attention, so I went a different route, then tried to get him back after Greg Jennings (who I also had) went down. I missed out on him by minutes as another team picked him up, so I went with James Jones. Not a bad pickup either, but wish I would have held onto Cobb and given him a couple more weeks.

Also had Big Ben all year long to use for Rogers' bye week, but then he went down in the first half. Still don't know how I pulled out a win that week.

Drafted all of them as well and waited a long time on Steven Jackson before I finally dropped him before last week. I certainly hope that he finds a home next year with a competitive team because he is one of the good guys that was loyal to a shitty team.

I had Gronk too, but I have Celek on the bench. Nowhere near the same....Gronk was my best player prolly.


Fn Bellicheck....most overrated coach ever....what a stupid jackass.

Lets see.... I have McGahee, Gronk, Tate, Harvin & RG3. All will have missed at least 1 game this year. Some more than others

At least RG3 carries half your scoring load so he's great while you have him.
