kota Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Word of advice on fantasy you should never start two players form the same team. YOur comment of potential 2x points is a big gamble. If the colts have an off day you willl be in trouble. You should spread it around as much as possible. My team is this. Drew Brees CJ2K Matt Forte Andre Johnson Jordy Nelson Julius Thomas - got him on waivers lol Phil Dawson Bills Defense As others have mentioned I would start Stevie. Rookie to Vet is bad enough. Rookie to Rookie is really bad. Who else do you have on your bench? I have won my league 3 years in a row and came in 2nd the other two years. I kinda know what i am doing.

HamSandwhich Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I would make that trade any time...Gore is super steady and reliable. I had him last season, as kind of an afterthought, and he was, by far, my best, most consisitant player. Steve Johnson will give you 4 or 5 good weeks and then 8 or 9 "meh" weeks. I also scooped up Robert Woods in the late rounds of our draft...after watching about 4 or 5 of his college games, and his pre-season games (to a lesser extent) I have this fantasy that he could become another Anquan Boldin type receiver, with a little more speed maybe...it may take a while to realize that potential, but hey, they call it "fantasy football" for a reason. That said, I will go against the grain, and say you should start Hilton. That would be awesome, but he would have to put on 30 lbs of muscle to be anything like Anquan.

saundena Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) To those asking why would anyone trade a RB for a WR.... Reason is that he is stacked at RB and im not. My RBs are spiller joquie bell and bradshaw who i picked ip in tje later rounds. CJ will be great and I loved bell when he played in buffalo. I think he could win that sfarting job in detroit.... But its not a given, hence my reason for wanting gore PS if you jave never participated in a auction league i suggest trying it out nect year. so much more fun and stratrgy to be had. Thanks for all of your input so far keep it rolling and.... Go Pats* (i think i should root for them tonight) Roll Tide ...AND GO BILLS!

NoSaint Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 so you ended up with stevie, spiller, and woods.... not to mention bell.... am i noticing a theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The real question is, do i start Fred over CJ? I just dropped Miller from the Dolphins, picked up Fred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saundena Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Not to mention the Bills D, lol No, No - I don't have the Bills D... Spiller was my first pick (after I was outbid on Peterson and Doug Martin) and 3rd pick of the auction. Stevie I got in the later rounds for around $15 I think. Woods and Bell were Waiver-Wire pickups. I have a rule about fantasy and that is that I must have at least 2 Bills players on my team, and 1 starting every week. It hasn't hurt me too bad over the years. as I placed 2nd last year and consistntyl make my money back on other yeasr. Want to win it all this year- hence the reason why I'm asking for your advice!

Oh that was a different poster in this thread. My bad. Bills D not a nbad play though once Gilmore & Byrd are back... The real question is, do i start Fred over CJ? I just dropped Miller from the Dolphins, picked up Fred. I would still roll with CJ. I picked up Fred too this week, but if I had to pick one I would give CJ a mulligan for last week and go with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saundena Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Agreed about CJ. He will surpass expectations 9 oo 10 times. If I cant swing the Gore / SJ trade then my 1 - 2 punch of CJ and bell should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Can't believe someone would give you Gore for stevie. Dude is clueless. Even if he has a plethora of RBs, he can much better than Stevie for the RB running behind the leagues best Oline and on one of the leagues best offenses.

DDD Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Until wood records more than 1 catch in his career you start Stevie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 They can't stop SJ. At least that's what he said. Start SJ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddenboy Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) SJ. He seems to be playing a lot in the slot. Woods is stuck outside. Against a team with decent CBs, you want the WR matched against the weakest CBs. = slot. = SJ (and btw, not only do you not hear SJ complain about being moved to the slot, he seems to LOVE it).

steviejohnsonfan Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I'm not unbiased (obviously,) but SJ is still a great start, I think. I also think if I had Spiller in my fantasy league I would ride with him. The Pats obviously chose to make their defensive primary goal limiting him. Everything was keyed on that. I think other teams will play a more balanced defense than that and Spiller will start getting his yards again. Week 1 is always a weird one in the NFL. It's always best not to overreact to it.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 By the end of the season i see Woods equaling SJ production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 That would be awesome, but he would have to put on 30 lbs of muscle to be anything like Anquan. Woods Height: 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) Weight: 190 lb (86 kg) Anquan Height: 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) Weight: 220 lb (100 kg) Yeah, I realize Boldin is bigger, and perhaps I should have qualified my statement...I was talking about their temperament, and toughness. I had never seen Woods play a lot in college, but after the Bills drafted him, I watched a number of USC replays on Big Ten Network. What impressed me so much about Woods was how scrappy and tough he was...and he really seems to enjoy playing with a lot of contact...for me, Anquan is one of the toughest SOB's to play WR in the last 30 years or so...love watching him play...Woods reminds me of him in that way. Woods was a little overshadowed at USC by his teammates, it seems, just like Anquan in Arizona. I think Woods can get bigger, maybe not, but I don't think he is as fragile as some WR.

billsfan89 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Start Stevie, I like Woods but he is still developing, Stevie is a proven commodity and likely will be EJ's safety valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybee Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) this fantasy football really annoys me. how about we focus on stevie and Robert woods both having big games so we can get a win. whos your fantasy left tackle and guard?.... I dont get it either. Hell, at work its all they talk about. On the computer for hours on end. To each his own I guess. Hats off to the NFL though. They came up with a way to get a lot of non football fans to watch games. Marketing ingenuity. I'll stick with my fantasy water polo. LOL !!

Don't get me wrong. I love FF, but I'm a Bills fan first. In fact, I'd give up a kidney or half a liver, maybe a few fingers or so if it would guarantee that I see us win a SB in my lifetime.... Still, if you've never played FF, you should try it. It makes many of the games so much more interesting... especially if you have Sunday ticket. You can watch the game that has the biggest FF implications. Edited September 12, 2013 by saundena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
