zekez 9 Posted December 17, 2013 Thanks King! Exactly the kind of intel I was looking for (although now I need to rethink the bencing Vereen for Lacy angle, but still leaning Lacy). Good luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sausagekingchi 49 Posted December 17, 2013 Thanks King! Exactly the kind of intel I was looking for (although now I need to rethink the bencing Vereen for Lacy angle, but still leaning Lacy). Good luck to you. Same to you. I went with Moreno and Vereen and sat Gore (talk about a horrible week for the RB position on my team). Starting Vereen last week almost cost me an opportunity to play in the championship game. I'm rolling with Moreno and Gore this week at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HowboutthemCowboys 1,162 Posted December 17, 2013 I'm starting him this week..but I have no choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RJV 17 Posted December 17, 2013 Anyone risking playing Vereen in their championship game? In my situation I'm actually waiting to see if Rodgers is cleared to play. If he is I'm considering playing Boykin over him as my flex. What worries me is that from this point on, defenses will try and mimic what Miami did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NavinRJohnson 10 Posted December 18, 2013 In PPR his upside is probably too high to sit him. I am waffling between him and CJ2K. Will most likely go with Vereen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PPIchamp 82 Posted December 18, 2013 I didn't see most of the Pats game, I hop around alot with Sunday Ticket, but I did pretty much have an eagle eye on the StatTracker and I never saw Yahoo at any time giving Vereen a fumble, let alone a fumble lost. I have to play Vereen in one non PPR Super Bowl I'm in, but I can bench him in another Bowl that is PPR for R Bush, Gio or Rainey. Probably play Bush.

heehawks 450 Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Sitting Vereen for Stacy (Flex/RB) and Gio (Flex/RB) this week. Might bite me, but seems like too many fingers in the Belichick running back pie to risk it in the championship. Edited December 18, 2013 by heehawks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rileyrott 205 Posted December 19, 2013 Sitting Vereen for Le'Veon Bell (RB1) and R Bush (RB2) in a non-ppr league this week. No more Belichick backs for me...I was lucky to survive starting Vereen last week (thank you Nick Foles!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WildTurkey 129 Posted December 19, 2013 did Vereen fumble or not last week? Did anyone actually SEE it happen? Yahoo has completely ignored it if so. NFL.COM doesn't have it in the play by play. Yet folks keep referencing him being benched or in the doghouse. I don't need a stat correction to screw me over; I think it's too late for that as they seem to have been released already. Weird. This reminds me of the scene in "Can't buy me love" where folks swear they saw a boobie, yet no one can provide the footage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rileyrott 205 Posted December 19, 2013 CBSSports originally said he fumbled (see earlier posts), so I contacted them and they replied that their stats company incorrectly scored Vereen with a fumble, and it would be corrected when the stats were updated, which occurred Sunday evening. His score in our league went from -1 to +1 (as we score -2 for a fumble). I went through the same thing as you did, and couldn't find that he fumbled on NFL.com, mfl.com and other sites.

rajncajn 1,379 Posted December 19, 2013 1. Vereen 2. Todman 3. Crabtree 4. Jennings That's my flex choice for this week & I'm leaning heavily towards Vereen, though Todman is extremely tempting if MJD doesn't suit up. Lynch, Gio, Marshall, Nelson & Pitta are my starters.

Sam 0 Posted December 19, 2013 I have to pick two between Lacy, Stacy and Vereen in a PPR. I'm starting Lacy for sure. I haven't decided yet between Vereen or Stacy. Higher floor with Stacy but higher ceiling with Vereen. I'm leening towards Vereen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Higher floor with Stacy but higher ceiling with Vereen. I'm leening towards Vereen. I sat Stacy vs the Saints last week because they had been playing pretty well against the run. I'm not sure if I could do it again. That's a pretty tough choice between the two, but I'd probably lean towards Stacy because, while both have high ceilings, Stacy will definitely get the touches.

I agree Stacy is definetly the safer play. I could very well end up going with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alexgaddis 34 Posted December 19, 2013 Vereen had a decent number of targets but Brady was getting bum rushed and was forced to make bad throws...I am comfortable with Vereen have a bounce back week this week in a PPR league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
