The #2 TE in Houston always puts up tantalizing numbers in the redzone because teams sell out to stop the run. Before him it was Joel Dreesen and a bunch of other no-names.
Good thing about our division setup: my game is basically hopeless, but I can still watch MNF and root for **Justin **to lose his game (which is unlikely, but still). If Drew Brees breaks his leg before halftime, I won’t lose ground in the division. So, you know, fingers crossed.
Ellis still has Pierre Thomas to go versus my Drew Brees (and a 15 point deficit). I’m not putting this matchup in the win column yet.
And is it me, or is scoring way up this year?
So, what does everybody think about a partial redraft after this season? I’m thinking everyone could lock up 3-5 key players and everything else goes back into the player pool.
Second dynasty league! 20 man
My god, we’d be drafting all night.
Yeah, it’d be glorious.
Omni and Hamlet just had a pretty huge battle. Omni kind of came out of nowhere this year to take the points lead. I’m the only undefeated team remaining.
After a tough loss (nice game Omni!), I get to go into this week with Adrian Peterson, Alfred Morris, RGIII, and Pierre Garcon all on bye. Oops.
Sorry for not setting my lineup this week, my last month at work has been crazy with working 12-14 hours a day, and then we had a family funeral last weekend (its almost sad what a relief taking a few days off was considering the circumstances).
A few of you have inquired about trades, and im sorry for not responding. I have been trying to reconcile the fairness of trading a couple of my best players, but still putting forth a fair effort on the rest of the season.
If you need a QB, I’m willing to move Cutler for a starting RB or a 2014 decent draft pick.
Congratulations, the field.
The league is very polarized this year. A large gaps between the good and bad teams.
We have 5 players at 4-1, and 5 at 0-5 or 1-4. Only two in the middle, and one is Omni, the current scoring leader. The other, Varlos, has had an extremely easy schedule, having the lowest points against in the league by a huge margin, almost 200 below the average.
I don’t think we’ve had a league this clearly divided in any previous years. The wildcard battle will be interesting, it’ll probably come from the Midwest division, but it’s going to leave out one of Hamlet/Stringer/Omni, which are all top 4 teams this year.
Definitely not. After five weeks last year, we had five teams at 3-2, you were 4-1, and Stringer was 5-0. Everything was very even.
That’s not all bad. It’s makes it really clear for the most part who’s a buyer and who’s a seller, so it’s going to spur the trade market, hopefully. I’m one of the teams in the middle, but I expect to get better as Megatron gets healthier and Doug Martin starts producing even a little, so I’ve been trying to trade young pieces and future, overall value for currently productive veterans. That’s despite he fact that, as a rule, I have a real youth fetish in this league. (And also in “real life,” if you take the word of certain know-it-all registries. :rolleyes:)
(That’s a joke.)
I’m looking to trade. I want a top-flight WR or RB and I’m willing to give up youth and/or my 2014 first rounder to get it.
Players Available:
Jason Randle (RB - DAL)
Kenny Stills (WR - NO)
Andre Ellington (RB - ARI)
Mike Glennon (QB - TB)
I’m willing to package other players with the 1st round pick as well.
I’m also looking to trade for either 2014 draft picks or young players to build with.
QB, Cam Newton, Jay Cutler, Nick Foles
RB CJ Spiller
WR Roddy White, Denarius Moore
If I can keep Philip Rivers from throwing for more than 60 more yards tonight (with no TDs, of course) I’ll pull off the upset of Hamlet. Would be a huge win…
I am going to get a pointless win. Hell if I had one decent qb I’d be in the playoff hunt.
Only thing that can realistically kill me now is if they go into overtime. So of course this is setting up perfectly. SD will miss the long FG and give Indy great field position, then they’ll march down the field and score, followed by an overtime that’s *just *long enough for Rivers to win it for Hamlet.
Novak!
4-2, in the hunt.
