Panic or Relax?

Recommended Posts

I'm in an 8-team non-ppr standard scoring league. After week 1 I thought my team was pretty solid, a little shaky at RB, but still solid nonetheless. Now I am thinking I have to make a trade or else I'm screwed. I have NO reliable RBs at this point and I don't know if I should stay patient or shoot for a trade. Anyways, here is my team, tell me what y'all think. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

QB:

Matt Ryan

Tony Romo

RB:

Jamaal Charles

CJ0K

Willis McGahee

Shonn Greene

Donald Brown

WR:

Brandon Marshall

Julio Jones

Dez Bryant

Eric Decker

TE:

Antonio Gates

Jared Cook

Who is on waiver wire? See if you can get Andre Brown who will fill in for Bradshaw. See if someone has not drafted Mendenhall. See if someone is shying away from the Saints' RBs in Pierre Thomas and Mark Ingram because it is a big time RBC out there in Nawlins.

Those are some options, one of which is always floating out there. Does your league allow you to play the TE in the FLEX position? If yes, look for Pettigrew, Dennis Pitta or Kyle Rudolph in the waiver wire. If no, look for WRs, they are dime a dozen and play matchups with WR at the FLEX position.

Waiver wire is your best bet.

Thanks for the reply. And I'm thinking about reaching for Andre Brown and dropping Shonn Greene. What about trade options? Should I trade away Julio for a decent RB? I'm not sure if it would be smart, but I'm also thinking of buying low on McFadden.

    • Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias. 
    • I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result. 
    • I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough. 
    • I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple. 
    • Yeah because AR wasn’t 100%.  The Colts are clearly being protective of him after last year and frankly the Luck situation.  Irsay has said more than once they learned from the Luck mistakes and would be more cautious with AR.  You are trying to create QB controversy that doesn’t exist.
