Fantasy Football, 2015-2016 (Smacktalk starts pg 4)

[MJ DeMarco]

MJ in his living room on any given Sunday.

I am doing well in my other league, however this league has been a big frustration. I have the most points scored against me in a 14 team league. Translation? When a bad team has an big scoring outlier week, more than likely they will be playing me.

I dropped Matthew Stafford this past week.

See you at the support group meeting this week. I'll bring the dartboard with a selection of photos of him smiling. You may need to bring some darts though, as personally I'll be using a bowling ball.

I also noted Rabid Pink Ferret's def with a huge finish to grab a late win. Big clash for bunny ears vs carrot next week

Yep! Great matchup this week. Seriously. I got 32 points out of Blake Bortles!

The Ferret is going to eat the Carrot for Lunch....

He's still a punk. Good riddance to him...

 

[Veloce Grey]

I think Team O' Destiny is @TheKing. He's been clinging onto his Mike Evans like a much loved teddy bear.

Why did you have to be so clingy to your Mike Evans, rejecting my many creepy advances? Is it not enough to beat me a few weeks back thanks to a Larry Donkey TD with 21 seconds left?

On the plus side I survived a vicious attack from some type of Rabid Pink Ferret this week. Had to go to the ER to get a shot since you never know what those things are carrying.

61 points from Drew Brees???!

Holy Moly!

I was looking through the rosters this morning thinking how strong MJ's was. And how yours had " a few issues" in the same way a racehorse with three legs has issues.

Fair to say if the rest of your hobos get you across the line it will have been one of the bigger upsets of the season.

Hobos is exactly correct.

My hobos are now beating MJ

I won. Huh. Didn't see that coming.

Fantasy football sucks.

That's been the tale of the season for me... my team is stacked but it just doesn't matter. Guys have career days whenever I play against them. Also turns out to be just ONE guy that beats me, i.e. Brees, Lamar Miller. My other team in my other league sucks a$$, and yet, I'm 6-2 there.

Didn't see that coming.

I did. When I saw I was the top projected points guy in the league (once again) I knew it would be no different than the other 7 weeks prior.

I should have top waiver again and it won't matter a bit. I'll have 4 (maybe 5) RB1's... and it still won't be enough to defeat the team rolling with Marcel Reese and Toby Gerhart.

Thanks for allowing me to rant.

I played some loser in one of my leagues that happened to start Drew Brees yesterday.

I played some loser in one of my leagues that happened to start Drew Brees yesterday.

I played somebody who started both Eli Manning (6 TDs) and Beckham-Jr (3 TDs).

I didn't win.

Heheheh. Well, next week I should roundly lose, so karma will keep everything in balance.

Well it's official. I have 5 RB1s. I have top projected points (AGAIN) this week. Think it will matter? Nope. I'm gonna guess the scrub Ted Ginn will have a career game, say, 62 points? Or maybe Owen Daniels will catch 4 TDs this week, more than he's caught the entire last 3 years.

Anyhow, I'm looking to trade a few of these guys away. I also have 3 good TE's.

Looking to upgrade at QB and DEF. @ZCP -- Ill swap you QB's + a DEF and toss in Devonta Freeman (or any of the RB) and any of my TE's, or even another RB.

I could use a good RB......

So could we all, apart from MJ and his giant waiver-gifted RB stack.

He needs to take lessons from Oprah so he can jump up and scream "RBs for all! You get an RB, you get an RB too" and share them around while we all burst into tears as the cameras capture our gratefulness.

@Iwokeup -- trade offer coming your way this week. Your RB woes could be a thing of the past...

C'mon folks, the RB Store is dealing!

You're also reduced to trying to trade for Blake Bortles? I thought only I had sunk so low.

That stable of RBs you've accumulated is rather impressive*. If they can get you to the playoffs you may just keep on rolling to a win.

*Well I mean it's more impressive than when last years RB store was selling Gerharts and Boobie Dixons. This year you actually have some decent merchandise.

I'm doing the math. You have 3 QBs. You're likely starting Brees every week except bye week 11, which happens to be when Romo is able to play again.

What does a Blake Bortles cost these days? I used him last year so may as well again. Well technically I felt like he used me actually.

Blake Bortles has been a consistent performer......

Oh ok I'll just use Stafford then. You cruel man

So what did you have in mind? Haven't seen MJ's offer.....

Oh I'll let MJ make his offer first, having seen you battle through the debacle of starting Marcel Reece at RB while MJ picks up that horde of top running backs with his waiver picks. I think you should trade-milk him like a plump cow. Brees has been scoring huge and I'm told Bortles is very consistent so make him pay top dollar.

 

[MJ DeMarco]

Matt Forte returned to practice... too bad someone would rather let a QB rot on their bench and roll with Marcel Reese rather than go with Forte.

EDIT: @Iwokeup -- just saw your trade comments. My original offer was for Forte, I switched to J. Stew because of Forte's injury. Take either.

Someone was working. And the trade was withdrawn after, what? Two hours? And then that laugher of a follow up offer? No thanks.

I know someone in desperate need of a good quarterback though...hehehe

Huh?? I didn't withdraw it, I said you can have either ... just thought J Stew was more attractive cuz he isn't rolling with a questionable tag.

I know someone in desperate need of a good quarterback though

And I know someone in desperate need of a RB ... unless you're cool with 3 carries in a game. I know my QB won't score me a ZERO or a 1.5; your RB will.
