It took espn like 8 weeks to stop predicting 14+ points for Keenan Allen every week. Fucking guy, every time I have to start him I'm mad.

I finally dropped that fucker the week before he scored like 15. My opponent grabbed him but thankfully didn't play him.

I was so smug about picking him up in like the 10th round or something in my league...but all is well now. Josh Gordon shall lead me to the promised land. Hallowed be thy name...

The draft I did was a 14 man and Peyton went like 12 I think? I took Megatron at 8 and grabbed Leveon Bell on the way back. I ended up getting Tom Brady with my 7 round pick. IMO that was a fucking steal and I think he's going to have a huge year. Maybe not like Peyton, but I'm glad I didn't jump on Manning so early with all the QB's falling this year. Seems like Peyton, Brees and Rodgers go early and the rest sit for 5+ rounds. You can't argue taking the guy early but there are some quality QBs left at the later rounds.

Btw.. Anyone doing big drafts like a 14 team, there are some late round stashes worth considering at RB and WR since they dry up pretty fast. I came out short at RB's. I have Bell, Vareen and D. Williams. I picked up Shawn Green and Ahmad Bradshaw after the draft. I think Bradshaw is being overlooked in just about every league but he was running great last year until he got hurt and Richardson is still a huge question mark in Indy. Bradshaw could easily take the number 1 spot there.
I nailed a lot of picks too. I think my best prediction was Ahmad Bradshaw tho

I really don't know who to sit at RB this week if Foster goes. PPR, I need to sit one, I have:

Ellington @SEA (Seattle without its best run stopper)
Lacy @MIN
Anderson vs MIA (Anderson possibly being the only offensive person Peypey will have to throw too)
Foster vs CIN

Also on my bench are Sproles, Ivory and Gray but unless someone knows something I don't, I don't see these guys cracking my starting line up.

My RB situation is back to shit now that Gio Bernard will be back this week. Should I continue to play Hill?

Choose two out of these three. All not great options:

Sproles vs. TEN
Hill @ HOU
Sims @ CHI

All have pretty decent matchups. I'm thinking Hill may have earned himself a lot more play time while Gio was out, but who knows.

Sounds like Hill will be getting a decent amount of work so they can ease Gio back. Probably have to go with him. The other 2 are a crapshoot really. id go with Sproles only bc he's proven himself. Sims just a name being built up at this point.

I am so unsure on my roster anymore that I am not sure who to play.

I am once again torn on who to play, either Kelce or Bennett. Seems like Bennett has the higher upside, but you never know what Cutler will do. Kelce has a decent chance to score since the Chiefs apparently don't throw TD's to receivers, but he has scored 1 point in each of the last 2 weeks.

Not confident at all in my 2nd WR or Flex pick right now either. I currently have Sammy Watkins and DeSean Jackson in those slots. However, I could swap in Jonas Gray, Brandon LaFell, or Ryan Matthews in there. I don't see Gray producing like he did last week, especially against a Lions defense that is shutting the run down currently.

I would never start Kelce over Bennett. Not sure why it's such a dilemma for you. I'd prob start Lafell over Desean and leave Watkins In.

I'd say stick with Desean and Watkins but no clue what the weather is going to look like in Buffalo Sunday. I think you still stick with Desean, and probably Mathews depending on how you feel about the Buffalo weather for Watkins. Mathews is supposed to get a similar workload to last week's 16 carries. Gray and LaFell are both NE players, and Belicheck will just stick his dick in you like you're a married woman if you give him the chance with anyone but Brady/Gronk now.

I think our disagreement of the week, Grim.. Is Desean. RG3 looked terrible vrs the bucs and now he's headed to San Fran.

Glad I did the smart play and decided to pick up the chiefs defense this week. Probably my least successful season of Defense juggling ever.

I took them in a league too. I should have known being from Philly. Andy Reid always manages a shitty loss like that one.

Desean had 4 catches both games with RG3, only difference is last week is he didn't break one of them. Week before on 4 catches he went 120 yards and a TD. SF's D against WR's in fantasy is lower half of the league, though it is better than it was first half. Still, Desean is the exact same gamble this week as every week. You're always rolling the dice on him breaking one or two for huge yardage. If you've been rolling the dice on him until now there's no reason to stop for Brandon Lafell.

Same here. I feel like I've played it well (to my own estimations) but it's just not working. I had the Rams when they were supposed to dominate this beginning of the year. Then I had the Browns on a disappointing three game stretch of honey games. Denver last week was a good pick by all normal appearances. As was Kansas City this week. Fuck me. I guess the KC bed-pooping was divisional though so there's that. I have been burned by that before too. It really does seem to be a truism about football.
