QB -Well, I will be the only 1 who might say this ,but I would start Griffin over Stafford this week. that being said I think both will be solid. Carolinas front is not the Giants front and Stafford won't have the time he had last week.

 

WR - I would start Jeffery over Maclin myself.

 

RB's - this is a toughie. Foster is a certaintly but in non PPR leagues Vereen is not the stud he is in PPR. I might move Spiller in where Vereen is at.

 

FLEX - I would put Maclin in the spot you had Spiller in.

 

Glad to hear you won your 1st week Saber, hope you keep on rollin.

 

EDIT: I would keep Richardson and Miller. Miller had a solid game 1 and Richardson is still getting the snaps for the team with the easiest run schedules in the league. I do agree bradshaw is tempting as I do think he is better than Richardson. just that neck.

Hey guys,

 

unfortunately lost my first week game (only made 80 pts)

 

2 WR 1 RB 1 Flex / Standard

 

My team:

 

QB: Foles

WR: Jeffery / Garcon

RB: Charles / Ball

TE: Rudolph

K: Novak

Def: Broncos

 

Bench: Cutler / Golden Tate / Ingram & Vereen

 

i think this week i'll go with jeffery and garcon on the WR positions.

 

RB is little bit difficult, i think i'm happy with montee balls matchup. i hope charles gets in better shape but against the broncos i'm not that happy.

 

available are: boldin, steve smith, tavon austin for WR

 

What do you think?

W/R/T: DeSean Jackson

K: Shayne Graham

BN: Dwayne Bowe

BN: Josh Gordon

 

I'm in a 10-team league, looking at making some moves, and would appreciate some advice. Here's what I'm thinking:

 

Drop Dwayne Bowe for Justin Forsett (I'm 1st on waivers)

 

Then try to piece together a trade for Jimmy Graham and/or Marshawn Lynch or LeSean McCoy.

 

I'm thinking Witten, Forsett, Jackson for Jimmy Graham

 

-or-

 

Gore, Ingram, Decker for Beast Mode or Shady

 

What do you think?

[ry-bread]

HK and Huddlers:

 

I was offered Lacy for my Graham in a PPR w/ 6pt rec TD and 10pt rush TD. My RB situation is looking weak after last week.

Here's my roster:

 

Newton

Brady

 

Martin

Ellington

Spiller

SJax

 

Marshall

Sanders

T Williams

Decker

Benjamin

 

Graham

Olsen

 

Den D/ST

Atl K

 

Thoughts?

[toast14]

I'm in a 10 team PPR league and TheHuddle week 2 rankings recommends this:

 

QB: J. Cutler @ SF

WR: P. Garcon vs Jax

RB: C. Johnson @GB

TE: Z. Ertz @ Ind

W/T: B. Marshall @ SF

W/R: M. Ball vs KC

Q/W/R/T: C.Palmer vs Dal

Bench: L. Bell vs Bal (really???)

Bench: A. Jeffery @ SF (really???)

Bench: D. Pitta vs Pit

Bench: M. Colston @ Cle

Bench: Cincinnati Def vs Atl

Bench: Houston Def @ Oak

 

 

Should I really be benching Bell and Jeffery based on huddle rankings?

Pos. player Vs.

 

QB - D. Brees - CLE

QB - P. Rivers - Seattle

RB - M. Lynch - San Diego

WR - M. Crabtree - Bears

WR - S. Smith - Pitt

TE - J. Thomas - KC

TE - M. Bennet - SF

K - A. Vinatieri - PHI

DEF - Panthers - DET

DEF - Chargers - SEA

 

My main concern is which RB's to start... But I'd like your take on the whole lineup.

 

 

 

 

[Shade]

Thoughts?

 

I'm going with no. Graham is Brees' favorite target and lacy will get less carries by far than last year. You'll regret this trade in 3 weeks or less.

Hey Chris. hope you had a fine offseason. sorry to hear you lost week 1.

 

I would not put to much worry into Charles 1st week. he will pick it up. your RB's are great and I would feel great rolling those 2 out every week.

 

I think your lineup is set perfect. I believe as tempting as it is to pick up Smith I would roll another week with the bench you have. although I am not a Tate fan when you play next to Calvin you have potential to bust out.

I'm trying to decide what to do with the Jackson/Floyd/Wallace/Jennings combo. Jackson didn't do anything last week but he's going up against the Rams secondary this week. Wallace and Floyd both looked great last week and I think both have favorable matchups this week. I had Wallace on my bench and Jennings as the flex last week. Jennings is going against the Cardinals but he put up 15 points against a pretty good Detroit D in week 1.

As your 2 backs I would as of now roll out Jennings and Gore. I am down on Gore as he had a great matchup in week 1 but did not come through while Hyde looked good. but Gore has another nice matchup and he was a few tackles from making last weeks game good so maybe he does what he has been doing for a few years now and make everyone ready to give up on him eat their words.

 

I just don't trust Martin will play and if he does the Rams defense is better than it looked last week.

 

Jennings has shown he is gonna be used so I would roll him out for sure.

 

At Flex I would throw Cobb out there. his upside just beats the rest of your of your players.

 

Once Martin gets back I still believe he will come through for you. I would just wait a week before putting him in, if he plays.

[HighKite]

gotta run guys but be back in few to finish up

[jtkelly]

Highkite - have a game tonight and trying to pick 2 of these players for my flex spot (standard).

 

Right now I have Boldin and Hopkins in.

 

Other options are Forsett, Bowe, Sankey

 

Who do you like out of these 5?

 

Also, everyone is dropping Tate for the 2 Browns RB. Any value in picking Tate up if he returns?

Calvin Johnson @ CAR

Michael Floyd @ NYG

Alshon Jeffery @ SF

Eric Decker @ GB

 

thanks

 

 

Hows it going Croe, hope all has been well.

 

Both teams are filled with solid recieving options for this week.

 

Team 1

1.Hilton - I have him atop this list for probably the same reasons you do. he plays Philly which means your snap count goes up no matter what team you are on and he just happens to be on a Colt team that has Luck, who does not mind getting some snaps off himself. this game should be filled with fantasy studs. if Hurns was able to get them last week I do not see why Hilton does not roast them this week.

 

would be 2) Alshon Jeffery - no matter who the bears play it is impossible to cover 2 WR's as good as he and Marshall. then you add in Forte and Bennett and someones gonna be open. that being said he has the dreaded hamstring. he will probably play but why risk it when you have the options you do.

 

would be 3) Mike Wallace - I expected big things from Wallace this year and he started off week 1 as I had thought. he has a much easier matchup this week than last IMO. I expected a 100 yard game. the only reason the Bears did not have a 100 yard reciever against the Bills last week was because they have so many options it got more spread around shown by the 4 guys that got over 70. that being said, another hamstring.

 

4. Decker - I said from the beginning that I seen Decker be fantasy relevent under Tebow so I expected a solid year. he did nothing great last week but was solid. I believe the Jets get behind this week against G.B. and are forced to throw . and I think Decker will be the player who benefits most from that. another guy I expect to get 100.

 

5. Hawkins - I thought coming into the season it would be Miles who benefitted the most in this pass game. after week 1 it looks like that is Hawkins. as Gordon owner last year it is fun to enjoy the junk yardage you get being the number 1 WR for the Browns. they get the the Saints this week which fits my junk yardage theme to a tee.

 

6. Brandon Cooks - started off ther season nice enough. but if your last name is not Graham or Colston I have a hard time trusting you from week to week on the Saints. how many times do we we see Saint WR's get picked up because of a big week only to dissappoint. Lance Moore and Kenny Stills come to mind just talking about it.

 

 

Team 2

1. Calvin Johnson - I will tell you right now I do not think Johnson has a great week. I also thought that last week and he got off. when you draft this guy you gotta play him so even though I think he performs like a WR2 this week I am still putting him number 1 on your list. Carolina is tough and capable of dominating our offensive line and it scares me.

 

2.Hilton - see above

 

would be 3. Jeffery - see above

 

4.Michael Floyd - Although I think Fitz has bigger numbers this week I think Floyd does his thing as well. the Giants looked pathetic trying to stop the pass last week.

 

5. Decker - see above

 

 

I think you are gonna have to wait til later in the week on your hamstringers.

[HighKite]

HK and friends,

 

need some WR help for this week from you all... pick 3, standard score, non-ppr

 

WR1- J. Nelson v.NYJ

WR2- A.Jeffery @SF

FLX- K. Benjamin v.DET

 

Bench options- Colston @CLE, T.Smith v.PIT, M.Wheaton @BAL

 

any changes you think I should make?

 

 

 

You need to keep an eye on Jeffery and his hamstring. if he is healthy I would start him and Nelson. if not I go Nelson, Colston.

 

I gotta watch Benjamin 1 more time but I am just convinced that guy is the truth. he could fight your big 2 there for playing time before it is all over. but for now(as long as Jeffery is ready) I go he and Nelson with Colston your 3rd option.

 

Colston's has the Browns who let Pitt's WR's go wild last week just so you know why I am so high on him.

 

EDIT: I would use Benjamin as my flex if Jeffery cannot play.

W/R/T: DeSean Jackson

K: Shayne Graham

I'm in a 10-team league, looking at making some moves, and would appreciate some advice. Here's what I'm thinking:

 

Drop Dwayne Bowe for Justin Forsett (I'm 1st on waivers)

 

Then try to piece together a trade for Jimmy Graham and/or Marshawn Lynch or LeSean McCoy.

 

I'm thinking Witten, Forsett, Jackson for Jimmy Graham

 

-or-

 

Gore, Ingram, Decker for Beast Mode or Shady

 

What do you think?

 

 

 

I would drop Bowe for Forsett. even when Bowe comes back Alex Smith has had only 1 1000 yard WR in his career. he does not have the arm to throw downfield to a guy like Bowe.

 

I would make either of those deals you talk about. conning the other owners will be your hard part.

[adz4309]

No problem friend. it is addictive game. makes sunday even better.

 

Anyways I will start with your lineup..

QB- Brees is my pre season pick as MVP. and a always solid fantasy QB. your backup Tannehill IMO went underdrafted and is in for his breakout year. this position is definately a strength for you.

 

WR- IMO your WR's are excellent. I see 4 usable WR's, 2 of the stud variety in Nelson and A. Johnson and 1 if who he stays healthy will be a stud in Maclin and then a solid guy like Colston as your 4th? I think this is another position of strength for you. expecially if Maclin stays healthy.

 

RB - you got a beast in Forte . now just figuring out which of these other guys can be your number 2 and 3 is the problem. I still have hope in Richardson and MJD to fill those spots with Ivory and Sproles also having chances depending on circumstances. I think you are deep at RB but you need that solid number 2 to make you perfect.

 

TE- I am actually higher on Ertz than I am Pitta. this is a position of strength and I would play the matchups with these 2. Ertz would win that this week.

 

DEF- Denver is a bettter defense then they showed last week and IMO they did not look bad last week. I would have no problem riding this defense out.

 

As far as your lineup this week, I , personally , would start Ertz over Pitta and Richardson over Sproles. if Sproles has another solid week I will become a believer. as of now I feel he made a whole game out of 1 run. I know Bradshaw has looked better than Richardson (because he is) but Richardson is still gonna get the snaps...for now. I do like Colston for this week over Maclin.

 

As far as a trade I would look for someone who only has 1 good back but without your depth and see if maybe a Sproles and Ivory can get you that upgrade.

 

 

Just wanted to start by thanking you right now for everything you're doing! really nice to see a constructive response to all my questions and i think i speak for everyone when i say i really appreciate it!

 

I've been messing around with my lineup this week and i'm currently starting 2 TE, Pitta and Ertz with Forte/Sproles or T.rich (gametime decision)/ Johnson and Nelson.

 

What do you think? Should i be starting Colston in there over pitta? Seeing the amount of targets hes getting, i'm thinking he's a shoein for 10+ with .5PPR and Ertz is in for a treat against that IND defense seeing what denver did to them last week.

 

 

Also, What do you think about the value of Moreno/Vereen/Bernard or any solid RB2 back? Is there anything I could package together to spark some interest from the other player?

[HighKite]

HK and Huddlers:

 

I was offered Lacy for my Graham in a PPR w/ 6pt rec TD and 10pt rush TD. My RB situation is looking weak after last week.

Here's my roster:

 

Newton

Brady

 

Martin

Ellington

Spiller

SJax

 

Marshall

Sanders

T Williams

Decker

Benjamin

 

Graham

Olsen

 

Den D/ST

Atl K

 

Thoughts?

 

 

I would of drafted Lacy over Graham. but not now that he has had his 2nd concussion in a year. you already have 3 hurt backs why add a 4th. I think you are OK at RB anyways. Ellington looked good last week. he seemed to cut well. I think Spiller does well this week against the Dolphins with as much coming through the air as on the ground and Steven Jackson considering the Hammy he was coming off ran well. I think he does well against Bengels despite their tough defense. the Bengels are gonna be looking pass which should open up some nice lanes for Jackson. I also think he gets closer to 20 carries this week.

 

I don't think you have a RB1 this week but I think all 3 of those guys are RB2's this week. I would go with Ellington and Spiller myself but would not feel bad using Jackson if needed.

 

Then after this week if everything works in your way you will have 4 solid backs once Martin is ready to rejoin the troups.

[Chris11]

Should I bench Gore and Start Moreno? Any other suggestions?

 

Thank you!

[HighKite]

I'm in a 10 team PPR league and TheHuddle week 2 rankings recommends this:

 

QB: J. Cutler @ SF

WR: P. Garcon vs Jax

RB: C. Johnson @GB

TE: Z. Ertz @ Ind

W/T: B. Marshall @ SF

W/R: M. Ball vs KC

Q/W/R/T: C.Palmer vs Dal

DEF: Tennessee vs Dal

 

Bench: L. Bell vs Bal (really???)

Bench: A. Jeffery @ SF (really???)

Bench: D. Pitta vs Pit

Bench: M. Colston @ Cle

Bench: Cincinnati Def vs Atl

Bench: Houston Def @ Oak

 

 

Should I really be benching Bell and Jeffery based on huddle rankings?

 

 

The huddle is a quality site. I do not use just rankings for anything as combinations of things make a persons mind up. but it is a good reference for you to go back yourself and do some reading on why they think what they do in case you miss something yourself or don't see something they do. it is all about bouncing ideas off each other. you have to look at the huddle as a person that is bouncing ideas off of you. noone can predict the future but they can give you their opinions which can open your mind to things you may have not thought about before.

 

I was a member here at the huddle for years back in day. and it is a very good site. and I am not saying that because I am on their board as I have a no butt kissing policy. but go to another sites forum and see the kind of stuff being talked about on their boards. the kind of people you see on a sites forum will usually tell you about the site itself. and there is not a more informative bunch than huddlers. they are arrogant, but they have solid opinions.

 

The Huddle itself has resources me and you do not. plus they give you different opinions and such from different people which opens up debate, which in turn helps you form a stronger opinion. and even if you don't use the huddle anything you do use that gives you something to think about makes your thought process stronger. when it comes down to it it all comes down to you. but without hearing other opinions and views you end up drafting your favorite players every year instead of drafting a good fantasy team.

 

Now to the players you talk about.. I have Leveon Bell myself as the 21st best RB this week. I have both Chris Johnson and Ball Higher than Bell. it was hard for me to put him that low myself. but to me the matchups dictate it. I bet I have him lower than the huddle. I know what Bell did as I am a owner. I also know how decieving week 1 stats can be at times so I try not to let 1 game influence a whole offseason of thinking.

 

As far as Jeffery I think that 1 is kinda easy being Jeffery has a hamstring while you have two very capable WR's who have solid matchups who are healthy. wanna hear something crazier..I might start Colsten over him too with the Hammy although I love Jeffery. WR's with hammies end up being zero's sometimes.

QB - P. Rivers - Seattle

K - A. Vinatieri - PHI

DEF - Panthers - DET

DEF - Chargers - SEA

 

My main concern is which RB's to start... But I'd like your take on the whole lineup.

 

 

I think QB with Brees is a no brainer.

 

At RB I think Lynch is a top 2 back this week myself as I expect him to push the Chargers up and down the field. my 2nd back would be Ellington although I have him and Spiller having similarly solid games.

 

I see Marshall and Maclin at WR being Crabtree looks to be playing hurt again. I would keep and eye on Steve Smith. another game like last week ( or close to last week) and he may force himself into the lineup. I actually have Steve Smith higher on my rankings sheet than Maclin. In case Steve Smith just had that 1 week and Torrey Smith is the number 1 and proves it this week I hold off on him 1 more week since you have the number 1 WR on a team that may run more plays than any other this year.
