How did I do? (Fantasy Football Draft)

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
So I have a man crush on Calvin Johnson. I love to team him up with Andre. I've had them both the past three seasons. So I want to trade for Calvin. The guy who has him (my brother) probably won't trade him to me just for spite. We completed a trade a few years ago. I got Chris Johnson for Michael Turner and Brandon Jacobs. Johnson rushed for 2000 and Turner and Jacobs both spend a healthy amount of time on the injured list.
So he probably won't trade Johnson for me because he's still pissed about that trade.
I'm willing to offer Vincent Jackson and Braylon Edwards/Devin Hester(waiver pending) for Megatron.
Seem like a fair trade?


I wouldn't do it. But I'm not big on Braylon that much and not at all with Hester. I would need a superstar if I was trading away Calvin. I love VJ but I feel San Diego has way more weapons then Detroit on offense. Worth a try tho. If he lacks depth in WR then maybe it makes it a little more interesting.
 
The only way I've been able to swing a trade right after the draft is when somebody in the league had to autodraft. At this point in the season, every owner seems to have an inflated opinion of their own draft.

The time to talk trade is Sunday night of either week one or week two... preferably after a football game when your opponent has been drinking and eating chips and dip all day.

Yeah, he lacks depth at receiver and Adobe was freezing up on him Calvin was 1 of only 3 players he ACTUALLY drafted. Crap. I, personally, think Braylon will play well out in San Fran. According to Yahoo! projected week 1 stats I'm sending out 29 pts and bringing in 21. So Of course Megatron is a beast. But Jackson and Edwards would IMO be a nice swap to a team without many receiver options.

Well Yahoo! has "Congratulations Magic Matt #9 on the best draft in Browns Town 2011" or some crap on our league page. I guess they took the ideal projected lineups for the entire season and named me best draft. So my inflated opinion is justified. lol

He hasn't declined the trade yet. He wants to see how the first game or two go for Edwards.

TE A.Gates-B.Pettigrew

K Alex Henery(PHI)

Def Oakland (Raiders fan...see you week 6)

D J.Mayo-D.Johnson-L-Landry


Starting getting a buzz towards the end of the draft. Weak depth at WR. Took Foster 5th overall. Draft happened couple days after that tweet. 12 teams I think I'll be alright.

Who would you start this week at QB? Romo @ NYJ or Stafford @TB? Leaning towards Stafford. Thanks
 
It's all emotion for me.
I hate hate hate the love the Cowboys get for absolutely nothing. Same goes for Romo. But I have man love for Calvin. I'll be rooting hard for Titus Young to go 300 + 8 TDs...... Gotta lower Calvin's fantasy value. Lol.

But seriously Stafford is legit. Both QBs are coming off of concerning injuries. Stafford's shoulder and Homo's collar bone(?). Jets D is better than Tampa.
 
I have Foster, MJD, Ryan Mathews, Pierre Thomas.

I'm starting MJD, just not sure who to have as my 2nd running back. Thomas plays tonight so I don't have much time to decide. Foster sounds like a big question mark.

Any thoughts?

That's tough, I wouldn't do Foster. I just don't know if he's even going to get off the bench this week. Matthews was just piss poor last year. You might be the best off starting Thomas.

What about me?

I was wondering about my flex spot. Should I start Dwayne Bowe or Colston. The obvious pick seems to be Bowe, but you never know, maybe Colston has a huge game in the season opener. I could also throw Blount in there as well. What do you guys think?

I'm a big Blount fan. I'm not as high on him this year as I was last.. But now I'm in a PPR league and his 5 catches total last season really turned me off.

Still love the kid. Play him. Tampa's offense will be tough.

I can't bring myself to trust Pierre Thomas, especially with Ingram now in the Saints' backfield. I have Mathews in one league, but he's handcuffed to Tolbert. If I were you, I think I'd take the risk on MJD and Foster.

Things are definitely looking up, Arian Foster owners.

On Thursday, Foster offered these comments to Yahoo! Sports Radio's Craig Sheman: "The hamstring is coming along. It feels really good, and all signs point to me playing on Sunday."

Not some signs, gamers, but all signs.
 
We should have a thread to talk about the current fantasy game thats going on.

I know I am going to be sitting here bragging about Brees' 300+yd 4 TD game tonight :rolleyes:

I'd appreciate it if he throws them to Jimmy Graham...actually I'll settle for 2 of them. :)
 
Looks like Manning will be out 2-3 months minimum. I currently have him and Flacco. Best QB's available are Alex Smith, Cam Newton, Kerry Collins, Matt Hasselbeck, and Andy Dalton. Any suggestions on who to pick up?
