2012 Fantasy Football Advice Thread

I'm also 0-2 - lost a close match the first week cause I kept Spiller on my bench.  This week I had Spiller starting but I decided to get cute and start the Raiders D against Miami instead of the Steelers D against the Jets.  Oops.  Another close L.

I'm 2-0 in my leauge and I figured it was time to do some trades.

This is my 2-0 team.

QB:  Rg3
RB1: Marshawn Lynch
RB2: Reggie Bush
WR1: Reggie Wayne
WR2: Calvin Johnson
TE:  Antion Gates
W/R: Matt Forte
DEF: Pats


Bench is
Luck
Shonn Greene
Pierre Garcon
Antonio Brown
Kyle Rudolph
Brandon Lloyd

Although you may think my team is good I believe it can be better. Don't ask me why but I don't like Marshawn Lynch and never did. I mean I love him as a player and to watch him but not on my fantasy team.

I have just made a crazy amount of trades for one.

Marshawn Lynch, Reggie Wayne, Lions DEF, Antnio Gates
For
CJ Spiller and Wes Welker

#My reason for this trade is for one i dont trust marshawn Lynch like i said before.

#Antonio gates is highly ineffictive at this point and I have a future trade i want to get done for Gronk

#Imma miss Reggie but I can pick up Brandon Lafell still

#And I just needed to get rid of Lions D for Pats

# Wes Welker WILL BOUNCE BACK now hernandez is gone and Lloyd continues to drop deep balls watch!

So what you guys think about this?
---------------------------------------------------------
Now for my other trade for Firtgerad will probaly get declined. I looked at the guys leauge and he is 0-2 and has larry starting. So I traded Antonio Brown for fitzgerald. Brown has been more productive then Larry at this point so we will see.

Now my last trade is for Gronk. This guy is also 0-2 and has no reliable RB, kicker, or WR. So right now my trade to him is Shonn Greene, Kyle Rudolph and Jutin Tucker (kicker). I figured if he say no ill throw in Brandon llyod then he has to say yes what yall think? All the players in my trade are complete upgrades in his league btw.

So Right now im 0-2  Lost by 10 points this past week, 2 out of my top 4 picks didnt play (Jennings, Matthews) and my other two top 4 picks underperformed by a combined 8 points (mccoy, stafford).

This week I should have all of my players back and have a full starting lineup for the first time

Stafford
Jennings
Welker
Harvin
Mccoy
Matthews
Pettigrew/Bennet, not sure which

If I lose this week and go 0-3 I think my season is done.  I was pretty sure I had a beast mode team coming out of the draft, but stafford has Killed me so far, Big Ben has out performed him the first two weeks on my bench.

So somebody tell me i'll be ok, im nervous over here

Although im 2-0 in my leauge with jennings he is a problem. I had him last year and I don't remember him putting up consistant numbers anyway.

Don't feel bad, Peterson and Charles gave be 13 points total.

I'm in the 0-2 camp myself.

Is Brendan Gibson worth holding on to over Titus Young or Andrew Hawkins? (PPR)

Out of those three I have only heard of titus young haha

I say none of them and go dipping into wavier wire

[indeedproceed]

I say none of them and go dipping into wavier wire

they're the best on the waiver wire. Other guys who are available in other leagues (Brandon Lafell for instance, Ramses Barden) aren't available in mine. 16 teams, 3 WR slots and 3 bench spots. Its tough to get a mid-week add on the waiver.

Get Barden.


He will likely start for the Giants tonight.  Manning has already shown he trusts him.

No clue.  He will likely get targeted, but he apparently has been a guy that had the drops in the past.
