Even before Hoyer got hurt, I was wondering if Meredith was even playing. The third stringer was getting targets right away, it seemed.

It was pretty bad game script. Just a flukey game all around IMO

Just one question for all. What would ask for leveon bell? Would asking gronk, jamal charles, terrance west for bell, rudolph, deangelo be to much to ask?

Gimme Gronk and the two upside RBs on that one.

I'd have to say A. Gimme the two stud RB starters.

Anyone play on Yahoo? It always seems like they underestimate my player's projected points. For example, the projection for Randall Cobb was only 7.68 points, but he wound up scoring 17.60 points for me. The projection for Hunter Henry is only 5.69 points, but I think he most likely exceeds that by a lot. Yahoo has Minny defense to projected at 7.25 points. Anyone know how their projections work?

yahoo projections had my team going winless after wk 1 in my work league, but their draft recap said I was going to be a mid-pack team.
I'm 4-2. 2nd in standings and 2nd in total points scored.
Last week I was a 20pt underdog, won by over 40. Most of my yahoo leagues are like that.

Sort your team by points per game and review their matchups to make your sit/start decisions. I outperform my projections regularly, yahoo projections is a terrible way to make your choices.

LOL. I'm 4-2 as well, but I've been projected to lose every week. I had a week where I scored 146 points after being projected to score only 80 or so points.

Thanks guys! Couldnt get corey coleman off waivers. What do

It will be tough without Ben. I dropped Coates. I'm looking to add Tyrell Williams, who just got dropped for Eifert. I also own Rivers and Hunter Henry. Anybody think it's a bad idea to own Tyrell Williams as well? I think he's the best WR available on waivers. Other available guys include Crowder, Enunwa, Hogan, Sanu, Austin, Boldin, Michael Floyd, LaFell, Kendall Wright, Tajae Sharpe, and Richard Matthews.

dropped him in 2 leagues as well.
I feared the bigben injury was more than what they were letting on, and I think it still is.

not one of my favorite movies.

careful Joe, mocking Chef is flying in the Danger Zone

Chef's a good guy. I'm Alright.
Unless I'm wrong, then he may want to "cut me down with those Angry Eyes."
Surprised @Barilko didn't jump all over this?

Interesting you bring this up Monkey.
Sometimes too much information is a bad thing.
With so many guys under-performing, I'm looking at matchup statistics as I set my lineups.
Problem is, some of the "site-provided" comments may advise you to sit/start the player based on past performances, or even last week's performance.
Some "comments" go against the way I was leaning.
I start second-guessing myself, wondering if I'm taking a risk?
Giving in the "expert advice" has been killing me too much this season.
But so has a tentativeness to not follow my gut/instincts.

This. Example of Rotoworld's analyses (and I'm paraphrasing)

Before Week 6: "Alex Smith has a dream matchup against the Raiders; He is a QB1".
After Week 6: "Well, Smith blew that one."
Before Week 7: "Alex Smith has a dream matchup against the Saints; He is a QB1".

Odds are they are going to get it right sooner or later, but you get my drift.

LOL. Alex Smith doesn't score nearly enough TD's to be a QB1. As a Ware owner, I'm hoping for a run heavy plan once the Chiefs get inside the red zone.

is coates worth rostering?

 

[Robotech]

is coates worth rostering?

I dropped him. I read that Ben could be out for 4-6 weeks, and I think Coates is an extreme boom or bust receiver with Jones as the starter. Ben might not be back until the fantasy regular season is complete or nearly complete. Coates is not worth holding onto at this point, IMO.

 

[averagejoe]

is coates worth rostering?

Wheaton looks to be out.
Making Coates a WR2.
The way this season is playing out, I wouldn't cut an active WR2.

What are you hearing locally, SP?
