Mod Edit: All fantasy football discussions and strategy talk will be merged into this thread. This includes possible trades, "Who should I start?" "Who should I draft?" and "Rate My FFB Team" There will be a new consolidated thread each week throughout the season.



I haven't seen a thread yet, so I'm going to get the discussion going.

I'm working through the bye week right now, with Brees and Mendenhall out. Schaub just got injured, so a guy in my league who also owns Arian Foster is going to be looking for QB help. We're both 6-4 teams at the moment.

I'm thinking of offering him Brees / Mendenhall for Foster. Trade deadline in my league is November 18th.

Current week 11 team:

Tebow
Green
Lloyd
Murray
M. Bush
F. Davis
McGahee

Bench:

Decker
Brees
Mendenhall
Austin
Best

There are lots of other viable options at QB on the waiver wire in case Tebow ends up losing a couple games and getting benched. This seems like a good chance to snag Foster. I do give up a lot, but I think it might be close at the moment.

WUG?

op what is best still doing on your team? shouldve been dropped 2 weeks ago

id say drop him now for a useable qb because you certainly cannot put tebow out there against a pissed off jets defense. or drop tebow since you shouldnt use him over brees ever

I mean as an eagles fan, it will really hurt me to root for Eli against the birds so I really wanna start Cam but the Eagles defense is just lol bad, and Cruz might salsa dance all over the fucking field sunday night.

should be perfect to start and root for eli as eagles are playing for a draft pick

You should be trading one of those QB's for a solid wr or rb imo. No need for 3 top ten qbs unless you start two which doesn't look like the case.

16 team league. Im in 3rd right now. 1st place team has Rodgers Mjd Steve Smith Gore and Finley. Even though Im almost guaranteed a playoff spot, I decided to take a huge gamble on a make-or-break type trade.

I traded:
Tom Brady
Legarrette Blount
Jeremy Maclin

I got:
Fred Jackson
Mike Wallace
Alex Smith

Gives me a lineup of

Alex Smith
Matt Forte
Fred Jackson
Roddy White
Mike Wallace
Tony Gonzalez

Giving

Palmer
Michael Turner
Mcfadden

Getting

Kendall Hunter
Arian Foster

thots?... dude is in a lot of trouble QB wise with Cassel, Flacco, and Alex Smith and not a ton on WW with Skeleton and Ponder being the best options

its ok, he snap rejected it

highly risk reward for me, i already had forte so i woulda run forte and foster out every week with hunter being my starter this week since gore is most likely going to rest up in what should be an easy win for SF.

You just have to hope that when SF has a 6 game division lead, Alex Smith plays full games during FFB playoff time.

Even if he doesnt, still a good trade.

Id reject it personally. Hard to really tell without knowing yours and his whole team situation tho. Gresham is obv hit or miss. And I personally dont think its THAT big of an upgrade at qb either.

Question for my bye week. Brees and foster sitting but could crush a teams playoff hopes in my division with a win. Do I go with Sanchez in the thurs game or try to pick up Palmer or somebody else up off of waivers? Available qbs atm are Palmer, Hasselbeck, Tebow, Alex smith, freeman, bradford. ????

Ya, only a 10 team league. Palmer is probably the only one I would seriously consider going for. Assuming I could even get him. Just scared to bail on Sanchez. The way I run he will have his best game of the season on thurs and I'll hate myself when Palmer lays an egg against Minnesota.

Idk I might go with Tebow. Yea he sucks as a QB but he has been really solid in fantasy so far. Palmer is the only other one I would consider.

I picked up Palko of KC in one of my 2QB leagues. I have Romo, Kolb (lol fuck this guy, what a dud), T. Jackson, and now Palko.

Jackson @ STL
Palko @ NE

Pick one of these to start. Leaning Jackson, but NE's secondary sucks nutsack as well

Edit: also, Sydney Rice and Baldwin are out for Seattle...lol Might have to lean Palko after reading that just now.

Toss up. I would most likely go Jackson. Although Lynch could very well get 25+ carries including alot in the redzone(if they get there).

The trade deadline in our league was at noon today, so other than waiver pick ups, Im rolling with the team that I have. Ive gotten some shit in my league due to how many trades Ive made, but the way I see it, I was able to cut the ties on my players that werent producing at the right time. Here is the team that I started with:

Phillip Rivers
Jahvid Best
Legarrette Blount
Jeremy Maclin
Mario Manningham
Greg Olsen
David Akers
Cle D

Here is the team I have now:

Phillip Rivers
Matt Forte
Fred Jackson
Roddy White
Mike Wallace
Jermaine Gresham
David Akers
AZ D

I have no bench, but fuck it. Im in 3rd and have a team that should do well in the playoffs. Compared to the team I started with, I think I did pretty damn well for myself. Im kinda interested in seeing other peoples starting team and ending team.

L Moore is hit or miss/dinged up and there are not enough balls to go around in New Orleans.

Breaston has been steady of late but with Cassell hurt the KC passing offense will likely be slowed to a crawl.

We start 1rb,1rec,2 rb/rec at the skill positions, I have Rice/D Jax/McCoy and M Bush (or M Lynch) going now but I don't trust D Jax at all

breaston
