Fantasy football keeper question

[thatoneguy]

Well, Bilal Powell is offically kicking Ridleys butt. Wow, a 14th rd pick over a keeper in the 4th. This fantasy football can make you look like a real silly-me.

haha guilty as charged I'm not to proud to admit when I whiffed.

[FISHINGURU]

Luckily for me I took Mccoy with my 1st pick when I took Ridley in the 2nd and snatched up Peyton in the 3rd so it hasn't stung as bad.

Still sucks to waste a 2nd on a RBBC guy, that is where you can take Graham, Marshall, Green, Bryant, ect.

In the league I took Ridley end of 4th he was my 3rd RB taken so not much of a burner there.

Ridley should beat out Blount soon for all early down work, but now you got Bolden in the mix and he'll be the 3rd down back and in on passing plays. They are using Blount to run out the clock because he doesn't fumble so that even takes away from Ridleys garbage time yards and td's.

If you were going RB in the 2nd no matter what you wouldn't of done much better so far with guys like MJD or Jackson. Here's to hoping Bolden and Blount fumble soon LMMFAO

Well, update for this, I'm 5-2 and heading into this week against the worst team in the league. As for the Cobb/Ridley debate, injury now says I took the right guy... and I also picked Vereen off the WW this week for depth there.

RB has been a challenge, but the "do-th-opposite" theory has worked well so far for me....

How is everyone elses leagues going so far?

5-2

4-3

3-4

No the right guy would of been Peyton Manning hehe.

I'm 4-3 in the money league that I took Ridley in the 2nd and Wilson in the 4th. Got a big win last week heading into Monday Night Football tied with the guy I was playing, he had AP as his RB and I had Jacobs in the FLEX, then Jacobs was ruled out so I hurried up and plugged in Hillis.

Hopefully the Ridler turns it on for us down the stretch, with Gronk back it will open things up a bit and they might actually get a lead at some point lol.

[FISHINGURU]

Hey hey, Ridler stepped up for me and helped secure a big win I needed this week. It was nice to see he was right back in on the next drive after he fumbled.

Gronk is opening up some holes in the middle now and they can actually get a lead.

How is the playoff scenario looking for you guys?

9-4, 2nd seed w/ bye (Ridley pick league)

7-6, 6th seed and needing luck to get some in that league

5-8, outta there

Overall, in the playoffs in my 2 bigger money leagues, so as they say "chip and a chair"... Goal every year is to make the playoffs with all 3 leagues, but got bit by the dreaded most points against in the 5-8 league... I scored the 3rd most in that one and if you had me pick one of the three I would say that is my best team!

[FISHINGURU]

Yeah it's all about the schedule, I've scored the most points in the league before and didn't even make playoffs, I thought it was impossible but then it happened to my buddy the very next season lol.

I'm not a lock in any league yet, probably comes down to tonight in my money league.

I'm up 106 to 77, he has Brees and Hartley, I have Seattle D. If I pull out the win I'll more then likely make playoffs, but the league is so tight I might have to win this week and next week. It's definitely going to come down to points because alot of teams have the same record.

Lets go legion of BOOM!!!

[Stcloudangler]

This league is all I have left... fortunately it is the one that pays the most, and I am in the championship. Its all profit, so I am hoping for some luck. Gotta hope that Charles cools off and Megatron can regain form this week, among other things..

[FISHINGURU]

Nice, I'm also in the Superbowl this week in my money league I wasted my 2nd and 4th round pick on Ridley and Wilson. Was the highest point scorer in the league so I got my money back. We pay highest point total and best record for regular season, then pay out 1-3rd in the playoffs.

Made the playoffs in 5 out of 6 leagues, lost the first match in one of them so I am fighting for 3rd place. I'm in 4 Superbowls, should be able to take home a few trophies lol

[FISHINGURU]

So how did it go?

I won it all in the league I took Ridley in the 2nd and Wilson in the 4th. Peyton, McCoy, Antonio Brown, and Seattle D led me to the promise lands. Scored the highest points and took 1st so I won $300.

I won 2 other leagues and took 4th in another, my 3yr old daughter also won her league hehehe. Fantasy Gods were pretty nice to me this season.

[Stcloudangler]

Eh, i got stomped in the chip pretty good. I was against Manning, Charles, etc and my studs didnt produce. Foles, Megatron, Vernon Davis not up to par.

I netted 135 for that league, so probably made 50 bucks for the year on the 3 leagues. I may have to get into another next year. 3 is getting to be easy to manage, 4-5 would be the next step?

Congrats to you, and your daughter (3yr?)

I may be in the same spot for the keeper next year, what do you think at this point?

Foles for 9th round

Zac Stacy for 9th round

[FISHINGURU]

OUCH, didn't you have a chance to keep Manning this year? That really stings when they come back to whoop ya lol.

Foles and Stacy should both be monster value for 9th rounders. Do you guys get to know your draft position before you choose your keepers?

We need to get a FishingMN Fantasy League going, I'm on Yahoo so that would be the easiest for me to set up if we get some peeps that are down.

[Stcloudangler]

No, we do not know the draft order until about 30 min before go time.

I think that it may become more clear as the offseason progresses.... i heard already that DeSean Jackson is whining about money already, have to keep an eye on that.

I would be in for a FM league, has to be at least 10 though.

[FISHINGURU]

Yeah I wouldn't be making any decisions yet, alot happens between now and then. Maclin and Cooper will both be free agents also. Foles could be a fantasy beast next season if they can get everyone signed.

[phorn]

I picked him up and won my leauge. I was in a auction leauge and spent a good portion of my salary on MCcoy and Charles. Sometimes you got to go with your gut picks. And a little luck. ; )

[FISHINGURU]

That's a mean RB combo there! Buddy of mine had the same combo in a reception league and tore us to shreds.

Auction leagues are fun, lets you get a few guys you could never get on the same squad doing the traditional draft. No one has an advantage because any guy can be yours if your willing to pay.

[phorn]

It also helped to get Garcon and A. brown when the others spent there chunks on the stud wrs. Auction is fun but I think the standard way is fun also.

[FISHINGURU]

Brown is a stud, I needed 12 points from him to win the first round of the playoffs coming down to Sunday Night Football and he got a TD right away on the 2nd drive then took that punt back for another TD for me, got me the win about mid way through 1st quarter.

I got him late in a few standard drafts and on the cheap in an auction but I bet he's a Top 10 WR this season.
