  1. huh, step away for a few weeks and the whole neighborhood changed
  2. He covered all the bases, by missed covering home plate: a threat to go play for the Packers, which now is an interesting idea since they just cut Starks and are a balanced-offense away from making a serious run.
  3. Hoping you didn't cost some teams a FF championship. Between this bonehead call and the debacle that was the Elliott thread, you should take a bye week and get your head together. Good news is that you and Irish seem to be hitting it off, so you'll have some good company in the doghouse.
  4. Thanks. I am not sure why some people here have a tough time admitting when another poster is right. The conversation was never about how many fantasy points he was going to score. It was about his workload. I even said I wouldn't bench him, just temper expectations. Had he received his normal workload, he would have rushed for 150-170 and perhaps another TD or two. Many were probably holding out hope for a Leveon Bell/Devonte Freeman type week where he single-handedly won teams fantasy championships. It was pretty clear when the Giants lost that the Cowboys weren't going to use Elliot in that manner.
  5. I think its cute that you try to come off as some sort of fantasy guru.
  6. Of course you still start him....but temper your expectations. Those here saying it will be a normal week (which for him is 24+ touches) are kidding themselves.
  7. He's averaging just over 24 touches per game through 14 games. I will be you whatever you want he doesn't get that many on Monday night.
  8. Those needing Zeke this week in championship games better be rooting for a Giants victory tomorrow night. If Phiadelphia wins at home, the Cowboys game Monday night is meaningless...and I would think they take the foot off the Elliott train a bit to start resting him for the playoffs. I wouldn't bench him, but I wouldn't expect his normal 20+ touches either.
  9. I would have said that was his ceiling. Not really saying much, since most of the league employs RBBC. He's barely better than some guys who only play on 3rd down. I think most expected him to be materially better than Bilal Powell and Rashad Jennings. He's closer to Yeldon than Elliot, stat-wise. He might be the bust of the year.
  10. I need Edelman to get through this game without injury (I am on a bye, and need him healthy for Week 15)
  11. What is a whomper? Are some larger than others?
  12. It's supposed to be in the mid-20's, light wind. Thats football weather Now, if it was low-10's or single-digits, thats something else. If either of these teams claim that weather was a factor, they deserve to lose....and not be playing in January.
  13. Points-scored can often be the result of one or two blow-up weeks, and not a real representation of true overall rankings. Our points leader in my 10-team league is actually 4th overall in terms of record. He is 1st in points because he had blow-up scores in Week 4 and Week 10. Other weeks, he was as average as they come. If you play in a head-to-head league, and coaches plan each week to beat the team they are facing (sometimes, its better to go with a sure 10 points than a shoot-for-the moon flukey player that might get you 15), then you sgould use overall records to rank teams. IMO
  14. As an Eifert owner, I hope opponents stack 8-9 in the box.
  15. I subbed out Pryor in favor of Gio in my flex...I'm sure that means the Browns will score at will.
  16. I wouldn't consider what Wilson has done in the past as a measurement of how Prosise will be used. Up to this year, he has had Marshawn Lynch in the backfield, and they have run more than they have passed. Without a smash-mouth running game, they seem to be more balanced thru the air, especially with the emergence of Graham. When teams double him and Baldwin, there should be plenty of one-on-one matchups with LBS for Prosise to exploit. While I don't expect shootouts like this past week to occur on a frequent basis, I could easily envision Prosise carving out a Dion Lewis/Darren Sproles-type role going forward.
  17. Sorry to play Monday morning QB, but you pulled the #7 ranked RB in fantasy football for a guy who was iffy, and currently the 2nd option on an offense that isn't clicking on all cylinders? I wouldn;t have sat Gore even if Cobb was 100% healthy. Gore might be the most underappreciated fantasy RB this season.m
  18. or maybe making sure he doesn't fumble again so the team can upset the Seahawks? Funny how fantasy football makes you lose track of reality.
  19. They've been talking about it here for weeks, but with the Bear's season essentially over and the deadline approaching, many are saying it will happen in the next several days and that he could be in uniform for someone else by Sunday. Not that many people are starting Bear players against the Vikings, but there is also talk he could be a healthy scratch for the Bears Monday night game ahead of the 4:00PM trade deadline on Tuesday. Last thing the Bears need is a deal in place, and Alshon getting hurt Monday night.
  20. Rumors flying here he is on the way out since his contract is up at the end of this year, and he will likely walk for nothing in return. Sounds like Philly is the lead dog, with Seattle and New England possibly in the hunt. Apparently they are allowing his agent to negotiate a new deal, and once its in place, they will pull the trigger. No link, just sportstalk radio discussion.
