Fantasy Football Anyone?

Cam Newton, he of the top five QB ranking, can be had for a mid level rb or wr

I want him!!!

[ShockerDropOut]

No. I'll start Gates at Flex

I was afraid that was going to be your answer.

Accepted your trade, even though it turned into one elite receiver plus a mid level receiver. That's how bad i needed a QB. Said it won't go through until Oct. 6 though.

I've been offered DeMarco Murry and Jimmy Graham in exchange for Arian Foster and Julius Thomas. Should I bite?

Any chance we could get this one "pushed through" today before the Thursday game @Triticum aestivum L.: ? I'm guessing that's why the delay is in there is b/c Smith plays tonight.

Wow...what a trade...if it were two years ago...

I'd probably pull the trigger myself. Without a timetable for Thomas coming back, he might be out through half the season and who knows what level he comes back at. Murray is going to find a role in Kelly's offense - I think his injury issues were bigger than let on for the first few weeks, and Jimmy Graham is at least playing, even if his targets will be limited.

Just my $.02, and I certainly don't do this stuff for a living.

Whoa...if this is going to happen today, I need to know about it so I can adjust my line-up accordingly. I've still got Smith starting tonight.

@ShockdaWorld:, the trade is finalized. You have Cam available for this weekend.

[ShockdaWorld]

OK. Cool. Thanks. I will make adjustments immediately.

After four weeks, five of us are up to 3-1 and no one is wearing the dreaded 0-4 collar. Should be an interesting few weeks with all the byes coming up.

[Triticum aestivum L.]

Thoughts at the 1/4 mark:


1) The Shock Broncs have been absolutely hosed by the schedule makers so far.
2) There are a LOT of underperforming 1st and 2nd rounders (but its hard to give up on them this early).
3) I think if you are over .500 in the next few weeks with all the injuries and byes, you got a shot.
4) The suspended players are fresh and about to be unleashed on the league - look out fellas!

[ShockdaWorld]

Damn I hope my no names in the late games can all score touchdowns like my opponents no names are all doing in the early games. ugh.

[ShockerDropOut]

Having only one player score in double figures is a sure path to a loss. With that said, if Doug Martin (really? Doug Martin?) doesn't EXPLODE for 33, I have a chance. But that is the way the ball bounces in fantasy football. Congrats Sheat Whockers on a hard fought win!

My team is struggling. I am dealing with poor draft choices and bad weekly substitutions. what hurts in a 12 team league is it makes good free agency pick ups pretty tough to find.

[WuShock16]

I am definitely seeing how drafting is so very important in a 12-team league. Typically, I have done 8-10 team leagues, which give opportunities for good pick-ups if you get a good eye on the waiver wire. With a 12-team league, I have not done as much because there hasn't seemed to be as much available. Typically, I have one of the higher counts of transactions, but I really haven't done much in this league. Luckily, the draft treated me well on the back end. I picked up Denver's defense in Round 8, Devonta Freeman in Round 10, and Tyler Eifert in Round 16 (and I was mad on draft night that I "missed out on some better TEs").
