Re: NFL
Alright, lineup decision: I have to fill one RB and one RB-WR-TE flex spot. Options:
Ryan Mathews ... at Pittsburgh. Not liking the chances of him getting close enough to vulture goal line ops.
Dexter McCluster at Indy ... crappy defense, he's played for Whisenhunt before, Woodhead's out. If he clicks with Rivers, boom, Woodhead 2.0.
Theo Riddick at GB ... GB's D has been solid, but Abdullah is out and word is Theo is getting most of the work.
Dennis Pitta at Jacksonville ... seems to be having a career renaissance.
I'm leaning towards McClusterfuck and Riddick. I got a bad feeling about Wentz against the Steelers, and Mathews is not a dude who I see going for 150+ yards against them. He needs scores. McClusterfuck seems like the sensible choice for RB. Question is do I want to roll the dice on Riddick's receiving game or Pitta's?

Re: NFL
Think that's the plan. Pitta just doesn't have the recent performance history.

Re: NFL
Matthews could do something today. It's been pointed out that 67% of Wentz's passes are behind the line of scrimmage. That means RBs...

Fucking hell. If I top 50 points in the pussy keeper league this week, I'll be shocked. Hey Troy, wtf happened to the Carolina Housecats?

Re: NFL
Catt keeper league is interesting.
Me, up by 1 point:
LB Craig Robertson ... NO LB averaging 9 tackles per week
WR Eddie Royal ... second-stringer in CHI who's usually good for 50-70 yards and maybe a score (because Alshon's a great lure for double coverage), but Cutler's out and Hoyer's in.
versus
RB Tevin Coleman ... pass catching back in ATL
WR Michael Thomas ... JAG in NO
TE Austin Hooper ... averaging a rockin' 2 targets per week as ATL's backup TE

Re: NFL
65. Left Rodgers on my bench in favour of Luck. McClusterfuck couldn't even get a full point. Jamison Crowder's scored 2 TDs for my bench over the past couple weeks while Jordan Reed has been reduced to irrelevance. Fortunately, Ryan Mathews and his -0.5 points was riding pine while Riddick put up a whopping 4.9 points. Decker and Wallace combined for four catches and sixty-who-gives-a-fuck yards. Then the Panthers D put up pedestrian numbers against the Vikings, minus their top 2 offensive weapons, of course. If Devonta Freeman gets shot or injured between now and tomorrow, I suck.Malcolm wrote:Fucking hell. If I top 50 points in the pussy keeper league this week, I'll be shocked.

5 starters lost on defense almost as soon as the game started. It looked like the team just decided to take the week off. No emotion or effort at all.TheCatt wrote:The fuck happened to the Steelers?

Re: NFL
My fantasy team this week:
Started Carson Palmer (5 points), could have started Jameis Winston, or Eli, or Tyrod at 28, 15, and 14, respectively.
RB - Lacy, Murray, Jones (flex) - Could have played Sproles (20)
WR - Kelvin Benjamin (0) + Robinson (17), could have played Marvin(?) Jones (35) or Baldwin (23).
Ugh.

Re: NFL
Who in the fuck was starting Marvin Jones for any reason or Sproles at Pittsburgh?
Ryan Fitzpatrick throws six picks.
Dez Bryant needs an MRI on his knee. That dude should buy a fucking MRI machine for all the time he spends injured.

Well, Jones was the 23rd ranked WR in the league prior to this week. 12 person league that means flex or WR2Malcolm wrote:Who in the fuck was starting Marvin Jones for any reason or Sproles at Pittsburgh?

Re: NFL
I keep thinking the same thing, then I'm like, "With what?" I got Rodgers and Luck at QB. I can live without one of them, but neither has strung together 2-3 weeks of good numbers to make proper trade bait.Leisher wrote:My WRs are killing me. I think I need to make a trade.
