He's going to be a star one day! Doesn't change the fact that you're still wrong. We will just use your Stafford comment for tomorrow's game as evidence. Arizona D gives up close to 300 yards in the air and you're saying its a terrible matchup?!

They gave up 6 points last week and 7 the week before. I'm beginning to wonder if you understand how fantasy works. Giving up a lot of yards and minimal points isn't exactly a soft fantasy D. They gave up over 20 points to a QB twice so far, 31 to Peyton Manning and 21 to Nick Foles on 62 pass attempts. Every other team has had 30+ attempts and not broken 20pts. 12.65 pts a week to non-Peyton-at-home QB's.

And Stafford is garbage. I'm praying Megatron bails him out. Stafford is playing on my team, but I am not confident.

I'd play Ben vs. Tennessee. But Tennessee is a shit team so there's every possibility he throws 2 picks and the Steelers lose an ugly game.

Lol...guess we will see tomorrow?! I'm telling you he's going to have a good game.

As for me knowing how fantasy works? I would post all my amazing accolades in regards to fantasy but let's just see how tomorrow turns out

I don't even actually play fantasy, I just make shit up here.

That's pretty obvious. But I like some of your prediction. I tend to do the opposite.. You said a few weeks back that Imgram would bust. I've started him every week since he's returned...

Kelce or Bennet at TE this week?

Bennet is coming off injury, and of course has the mighty Cutler throwing to him. Kelce has played well at home. Feels like a bit of a toss up.

God Kelce is so random. If he gets targets he's gold, but it seems like any given week he'll just get completely ignored in the offense. I'd probably roll the dice on him over Dropsy Bennett after last week, but it really is a coin flip. Bennett did practice fully on Friday though I believe and they're saying the rib is a non-issue so I probably wouldn't let that scare you off if you favor him generally.





OK pick 2 and make it snappy, because I'm still waffling even though I said I was playing Stafford=P

Stafford
Newton
Shaun Hill




Yes, seriously. I'm leaning towards Hill and Stafford because Newton has just stuck it in me all season long at this point.

By the looks of it I should have just kept Fleener and dropped Bennett

I need 16 from bell in a half point PPR.. That's my 14 man league and I'm tied for 3rd. Hoping I pull it it out. It's too close a league to lose a week.

I won my other league and in first by a game. The commissioner posted today about our thoughts on making it a Keeper league. I've been playing fantasy since 93 and have Never tried one of these. Not knowing the number of keepers yet but can anyone give an idea on a good number to suggest? There are 10 of us in this league.

I want to say 5. Only bc my team has a lot of talent lol. I'd have to decide between A.J Green, J. Gordon, Hilton, Beckham Jr, Forte and Julius Thomas. I think Julius would be odd man out if they were to go with 5.

Start small with one? I'd say you go to many and those with stacked teams stay stacked for a while. When I run my league I do whatever I can to introduce parity without it being too reliant on flat out luck. Keeps those who would otherwise be perennial cellar-dwellers interested.

Also, introducing them at this point is a little odd. Teams might have made different moves had they known the pending rule change, but every team is effected that way so whatever.

Jesus Christ 5 keepers? That sounds fucking awful. Takes all the fun out of the draft.

I'm being greedy obviously. I have no idea what people would agree on. Even if we did go 5. Just using my roster as an example. I'd be dropping a lot of good players as well. There would be plenty of good players there in the draft

Bell won me my week with that td!

1 keeper would be fine with me. Forte would be my keeper.
