Fantasy Football 2013 Advice Thread

Coin flip choice there. Both are similarly ranked, neither has an enticing match-up and both have question marks in their respective passing games. I play Cameron because he is for sure healthy. Davis may not even play and if he does could suffer from limited practice this week.

I pulled the trigger and put Cameron in. I would put Nelson in personally, he most always finds a way to get the ball.

And that avatar cracks me up, can't help but laugh every time I see it.

Question of the week folks:

Which Carolina bench guy should I start? Mike Tolbert or Brandon LaFell? Tolbert is almost completely dependent on TDs, but LaFell has quite a few awful 20 total yard days.

Tolbert has been poaching my Williams touchdowns all season. Fuck that guy.

Tough call. Carolina's defense is stout, but the GB offense is next to useless without Rodgers. I'd go Ridley.

I probably start Ridley until GB and specifically Nelson proves they can function w/o Rodgers. I do think in PPR Nelson has a higher upside though, but Ridley is probably safer points.

New Englad is going to demolish Carolina if that helps make your decision any easier. 31 10.

You've been missin' 'round these parts.

This game is going to be closer than you think. NE's offense isn't that impressive and Charlotte's going to be a rowdy place on Monday.

I was kind of assuming NE would come off the bye like bosses, but just saw this link and apparently Belicheck is "only" 8-6 against the spread after his byes.

So apparently they do not come out like animals after the bye.

What kind of spreads they were up against matters too (unless they were 8/6 win/loss disregarding the spread/betting aspect too). The two decent teams Carolina has played this year were Seattle in week 1 (7 to 12 Loss) and last week against SF with a 10 to 9 win. I know the NE offense hasn't been spectacular but Gronk is back and the NE offense has been improving (Ridley is getting going, Dobson doesn't make me want to throw my TV over the balcony on every play).

2 qb start league. Standard scoring. Romo is on his bye, so was just going to start Flacco. Hearing now the weather is supposed to be awful in Chicago tomorrow during the game. High winds, T-storms... The only qb left available that will start I grabbed was Tolzien.

Assuming the weather is complete shit during the game should I roll with Tolzien vs a sub par Giants D in New Jersey?

I'd start Tolzien over Flacco probably.

Cruz or Boykin or Torrey Smith (not PPR)?

I mean, you have to think Torrey SMith is due to break out at some point right? 2 TD's is really low for him. He's still getting deep targets, just not hitting paydirt. With Peanut out I'd go with him and bank on this being the week.

Cruz is stuck with Eli.

Boykin/Tolzien connection is intriguing, but I'd go with the more proven guy this week at least. I'm playing Boykin and Cruz this week, but that's because Dez is on a bye. And I'm using a WR bench slot(we have position limits) on Percy Harvin as of this morning in a pure cockblock move.

Yeah i've had Torrey on my bench all year basically, Baltimore just blows. Cruz hasn't done anything tho and I figured it's a tossup between the 3. My other 2 recievers being Desean Jackson and AJ Green (I play WR in my flex instead of 3 RBs usually).

Haha that T. Smith touchdown puts him at more points than every single other player on my team besides Delanie Walker and Matthew Stafford. I do believe this is the last year I play fantasy, I feel like there is less luck involved in playing the lottery than playing fantasy.

And Nelson scored 17, doubt Ridley will do so well.

I need to start doing the opposite of the consensus here.

You're just using the thread wrong. Use it like I do. Start off asking your question and then just keep typing stream-of-consciousness style until you convince yourself one way or the other. Then hit submit for no real reason.
