Fantasy Football Advice

seattles defense has been pretty disappointing though two games. With them being at home vs Denver next week, should I roll with them, or look for a spot start out of another team?

it really depends on who you'd have to drop and what's available. If you can drop a nobody or stash somebody on the IR for a week, the Eagles might be a good play this week.

stick with them... unless you've got a better matchup to pick this week...

I agree, stick with them. I have Seattle as well. Have had them the past two years. The one thing I have learned about Seattle's defense is there are 8 games a year you don't bench them regardless of matchups and that's when they play at home. I haven't done the math but they are good for a couple extra sacks, an extra turnover and a potential pick 6 or special teams TD in front of "The 12th Man" crowd.

I'm getting a chance to watch the NFL replay of the Donkeys and the chiefs.

First off, the Chiefs got screwed on Sanders fumble. That was a clear catch then fumble. Second, Knile Davis. No thank you. His Oline doesn't fly off the ball and generate push and he likes to dance while in the backfield.

I have Johnathan Stewart sitting on the bench, he's looking healthy and has a very plus matchup week 4. Something to consider.

some defenses available that are projecting better than Seattle this week:

Cleve vs Balt

Indy vs Jax

Philly vs Wash (although I think Cousins will make Washington better offensively)

Chi vs Jets

Giants vs Hous

KC vs Miami


Just some food for thought.

On a side note, thanks for all the advice over the last few seasons. Much appreciated.

That's why you don't listen to projections.

fair enough

Now I'm starting to question if I should go Knile Davis or Donald Brown. I feel like the whole world is jumping on the Knile Davis bandwagon, and that usually sets the whole world up for failure. Meanwhile, Donald Brown had a pretty decent year last year.

Brown.

I've been offered:

Julien Edelman
CJ Spiller
Kyle Rudolph

for

Julias Thomas


keep in mind, we play a small roster in this league.

Cousins
Donald Brown
Shady McCoy
Brandon Marshall
Desean Jackson
Julias Thomas
Seattle

That's my current lineup with Zac Stacy, Golden Tate, Mark Ingram, Khiry Robinson, and James Jones on the bench.


Yahoo trade evaluator puts me at a -20 points for the season if I take it.



His team:

Matt Ryan
Julio Jones
Brandon Cooks
Rashad Jennings
A Peterson
Rudolph
Houston

Bench:
Alshon Jeffery, Terrence West, Spiller, Edelman, Kelvin Benjamin



so essentially he's trading 3 bench players for arguably the best TE in fantasy football right now. I think I just talked myself out of it.


Thoughts?

 

[Buckeneye]

No. I love Edleman, but ... Just no. Until cassel can get Rudolph the ball, that too - is a hell no.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Edelman is a slight upgrade, but neither other position is. Not worth it. I think Spiller is improved over last year, but he would/should sit behind Zac Stacy after that trade.

I third the motion for no trade. If you can counter for a trade that's more you're liking, then I say take it then. Selling high on J. Thomas is smart.
