forever in debt to mo lewis Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 just kind of curious to see how teams that held on to him after his slow start are faring here in the 2nd half....alot of complaints early with his tough schedule early....not much production....many were disgruntled and thinking about moving him...i know personally i fielded a few offers and considered them....but ultimately decided to hold.....fortunately for me i was able to weather his slow start very well...i know not everyone was that fortunate.......those that held....have your teams overall started to pick it up and win some games? the offense in general is clicking very well in gb...and he has been a beast the last month or so....anyone who held cant be too unhappy right now....hes about where he should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpkrufus Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I held onto him, I'm 11-1 in first. I also had spiller too, so did consider offers as well but weathered the storm. Nelson, maclin, and Evans is what saved me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowboysDiehard Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I am scraping by at 6-6 with him, would be in far better shape had I not hitched my wagon to Cutler in that league. Sadly, we only have 5 bench spots and I stupidly dropped Brady early in the year to fill an immediate need at RB. I can still make the playoffs with a win and +25 pts over one team (two 7-5 teams play each other, I trail both by 25pts which is the tiebreaker). There is a third 7-5 team that I'm up 80 pts on and they have a tough sked this week, I just need to win and have them lose to make it. Picked up Eli and started him. I don't need Cutler spoiling my Turkey Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I traded him in week 4 for Demaryius Thomas. Im 5-6-1 made the playoffs and the Lacy owner is 3-8-1 and missed the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpr103 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I traded him in week 4 for Demaryius Thomas. Im 5-6-1 made the playoffs and the Lacy owner is 3-8-1 and missed the playoffs Lots to digest here: underperforming #1 RB for underperforming #1 WR early, and both are perfect for any playoff team. You made out well. Congrats. But still a losing record, so some league! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpr103 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) I hung with him, turned down low-ball offers and started him every week with Lynch and Jeffery and some underperformers or oldies like Stafford, Fitz, Colston, and Wayne and I'm now 7-5, playoff bound, but on the edge. I had some lowball offers after the first few weeks, but they weren't considerable, even with RB1 Lynch (who I got in the mid-second round - I wanted a WR, but thankfully I couldn't pass him up). This is a Yahoo Pro ($) league that starts 3 WR and 2 RB, no Flex, so WR are at a premium, and I got a good RB core cheap. He only had four bad games (weeks 1, 2, 3, 6), but the brief re-emergence of James Starks was threatening. But you had to believe that he's a better option in the backfield, and you had to trust that that offense would pull it together, which was hard to do in September. I started making offers for him in other leagues after week 4, his first good week, and got no bites. I wish I was confident enough to make those offers one week earlier! To answer your question, if we can pull it through this week (I sat Stafford's good game to play Big Ben against the Saints), we're in the playoffs. If we lose, it'll be up to next week. And I'm very confident running into the playoffs with Lacy, Stafford (with an easy schedule), Jeffery, and Lynch (even with a difficult schedule, they'll run him until his skittles pop off). Now that I look at it, amazingly, this team has also held Mike Evans since week 1! Edited November 28, 2014 by bpr103 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Sitting at 8-4 today and, with a win, I'll earn league's best record (on total points tiebreaker) and get a bye next week. Lacy has been awesome the past month or so. I hope the Patriots try to stop GB the same way the Vikes did last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dope man Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 have climbed to 4th in a 14 team league(total points payout), top 3 spots pay. I was in last place after week 4. Now with Gordon as well as CJ Anderson as my flex I may be able to make a run at the Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
