His groin was close to tearing off so I'm sure that played a role in him rupturing his achilles.

When you draft/acquire Foster you have to do so knowing he will be injured at some point. He's only suited up for all 16 games of a season twice during his career and has missed 32% of his games.

My top 2 RBs in my only other league were CJ and Joseph Randle. So I'm striking out pretty hard this year.

On another note of failure, this is my bro's bench this week:

It is currently outscoring every other teams starters.

Darren McFadden and Alfred Blue are both available on waivers this week. Which one of these two do you think I should put at #1 priority?

You can't sit Hopkins at this point, right? I know the dude has been a stud, but the Titans are giving up the 20th most fantasy points to WR and Keenan Allen's match-up is so juicy.

I don't see how your are sitting Hopkins or Allen. You only play one WR?

In PPR Hopkins is the #2 overall scorer right now, #3 if you go by avg-per-game. Yeah, you don't sit that.

So do I play Newton or Big Ben this week. Ben is just coming back from injury, and playing a pretty solid Cincinnati defense. Whereas Newton gets to go up against a pretty broken Indy team.

Just traded Demaryius, Jeremy Hill, and James Jones for Freeman and Hillman. How'd I do?
I assume you are referring to Devonta and not Josh? On the surface that trade looks like a pretty big win for you but it will really come down to who you have to plug in at WR in place of those guys you gave up.

Just swapping Freeman in for Hill nets you around 18 more points-per-game.

Currently have Travis Benjamin in my flex (PPR). Not sure if Johnny Football getting the start hurts or helps him.

Also have Hyde (@StL), Amendola (Mia-Thur), McFadden (Sea), or I suppose C.J. Anderson (GB) I could slip in there instead. Thoughts?

Alshon Jeffrey, Rishard Matthews, and Donte Moncrief with a hopefully soon returning Dez waiting. Considering my best RB after Foster went down was Blount I think it's pretty damn good for me.

Amazing. Freeman is worth all three of those alone. Hill & Jones production is TD or bust at best, and are easily replaced in waiver pickups. Freeman is a monster this year.

So do I play Newton or Big Ben this week. Ben is just coming back from injury, and playing a pretty solid Cincinnati defense. Whereas Newton gets to go up against a pretty broken Indy team.
Cam. Ben has the possibility of struggling, don't really see much of that with Cam. Indy blows.

Ok forum bros, made some serious lineup changes and need some advice:

Starting QB: Cam, Ryan, or Dalton? Right now I have Dalton in.

RB2: CJ2K, Lacy, or Latavius Murray? Right now I have CJ2K due to Lacy's slump and Murray's tough match.

WR3: Amari Cooper, Stefon Diggs, or James Jones? Again, Cooper and Jones have v tough matches, so I have Diggs slotted.

What do you guys think?

Is this for FD or a fantasy team?

Cause I refuse to believe you're that fucking stacked lol.

I agree with all your choices btw. Lacy might actually be a good pick, though.

Local Fantasy league. I had a good draft. I don't have Ryan- I forgot. It's between Dalton and Cam.

I may be wrong, but I can't see trusting Lacy until he proves he is not a dud. He hasn't done shit all year and I've lost by starting him over Murray before. CJ2K is a new pickup.
