    Things that I think make sense

    Just looking at the landscape of the NFL can't help but arrive at some unique conclusions. Browns have missed their perfect coach in Riverboat Ron! He would have been a perfect solution in Cleveland. He is a stabilizer. What Browns need more than anything is leadership that can calm all the...

    This years melodrama...

    Last year the drama beneath the drama in the NFL was the atrocious overall performance of kickers throughout the league. They have been a little better this year but not much better... This year the understory seems to be the fragility of the WR's in the league. I can not remember a year...

    Do you actually realize...

    ...that Frank Gore is still around and marginally productive? I just picked him up in one of my leagues to start this weekend. Take that all you Frank Gore naysayers!

    Now that the dust has settled...

    Just thinking back over the season now that it has concluded... Things I noticed: The much derided RBBC fad seems to be over. Teams are clearly choosing to use a primary back with 'change of pacers' getting less and less use. Even the Patriots used a primary back (S. Michel) when he was...

    Who should I drop?

    I am in an IDP league and I want to pick up Reuben Foster as he comes off suspension after wk 2. League is really competitive and with 6 IDP positions you can imagine there is very little left of productive IDP players on the WW so I need to get ahead of the curve on this. I am fairly loaded...

    Stud to Dud

    Trying to think of another player that fits this scenario. In all my years of playing FF I really can't think of another person that has suffered this type of decline. Has not been injured! Position has not changed! Role on team has not changed! Hasn't been benched! Hasn't lost QB! Hasn't lost...

    Well that settles it!

    If it is at all possible, stream whatever defense is playing the NY Giants each and every week! They were a horrible offense to begin with but now: No running game due in large part to one of the worst O-lines in the league. They have now lost their only downfield weapon in ODB. They have...

    Plethora of choices...

    ...if you stream defenses this has got to be an all time high for quality choices! You can basically feel good about streaming any halfway descent defense against these teams: Jets Bears Bengals Giants Colts 49'ers These teams have so far shown that they can't get out of their own way much...

    Back to the old guide posts!

    I'll cut to the chase! I'm old school, been playing FF for a long time. Used to love it, still love it. I remember the days before there was a PPR. Now its hard to find a league that does not have PPR, but that's a rant for another time. It seems we have moved back into what I consider...

    Grumble, Grumble, Bah Humbug!

    Just a vent thread here! No one else will listen, no one else really cares... So I am in the playoffs as the second seed but I have the most points scored and have been getting the largest blowout wins in the league. Everything's looking good and I am not really worried about the first round...

    Suspensions be damned!

    Well I had 3 drafts this weekend and in all three I 'reached' to pick L. Bell and M. Gordon. And by reached I mean I took them ahead of their actual ADP and got them about where I thought they should have been picked. In one league I got Bell with the 4th pk in the 2nd rd and Gordon with the...

    So let's answer those questions...

    It appears that for the first time since I have played fantasy football the RB position will truly not be a top selection. Most mocks I have seen so far have RB going 2 or 3 but WR is definitely the top choice in the first 3 picks. This tells me that there could be some real RB values in the...

    Who would you rather have

    In a quandary and I can't decide who I should roll with going forward. I have Latavius Murry, and Justin Forsett but I can get Doug Martin. Have to lose one of the previous to get Martin. Trying to think long term here. Murry has the better upside but he is on a woeful offense. Workload...

    Where is the annual "Frank Gore is finished" thread?

    I kinda miss it. And just for thought, if you had kept posting it every year eventually it would be correct!

    flex question

    Percy Harvin or Sammy Watkins League is 1 pt per rec and .5 pt per rush. I really want to use Harvin cause I am only upset with his lack of production so far but if I bench him and he goes off while sitting on the bench I will be highly pissed! Both have pretty good matchups with...
