2015 FANTASY FOOTBALL THREAD

- Start date
No way, Big Ben will be back soon which will help Brown. And Andy Dalton should return to normal Andy Dalton soon which will drop Green a bit.
That's just a weird offer. I usually don't trade same position guys straight up, seems kind of pointless. The Brown end of that deal seems like the winner, but not by much. Wouldn't do it.
Trading same position straight up doesn't make sense.
I'm a big fan of 2 for one and 3 for one trade offers. Make it seem like they're getting the better deal. Last year I traded 3 bench players (all ended up starting for him) for LeSean McCoy during his slump. He ended up bouncing back and finishing strong. He and Matt Forte gave me a solid RB pair each week.
Trading is is all about psychological warfare. Mess with their head. Offer them a bad deal, when they reject, convince them that it isn't so bad. Then turn up the offer a little bit, and they'll accept. This week I offered someone:
Demaryius Thomas, Randall Cobb, and Jeremy Hill for Todd Gurley, LeSean McCoy, and Brandon Marshall.
Obviously he didnt accept, but he needed some WR help bad, and he also had Matt Forte and Arian Foster (he drafted well). He counter offered with
Demaryius Thomas and Jeremy Hill for Todd Gurley and LeSean McCoy.
I accepted, but it got vetoed, which is fair. It wasn't a fair trade, but I still got the guy to accept (and even offer) a totally bad deal.

That's stupid. Unless there is collusion, there is 0 reason to veto a trade. People who do that just have sour grapes.
Yep. Dude clearly owned the draft, and is trading from depth. While it may not be a balanced trade I doubt it makes his team too much worse with Forte, Foster, Thomas, Marshall. If you can't trade depth whats the point?
No way. Once Roethlisberger comes back Brown will be a top fantasy WR again. Not that Green's a slouch by any means, but Dalton does spread it around in that offense.
If this were offered a few weeks ago it would have been worth it. Once Big Ben is back Antonio will return to being the best PPR WR in the league. It took having Mike Vick at QB to break ABs 34 game streak with at least 5 catches and 50 yards.
This guys just hoping you'll sell low on AB. AJ Green is good, but he's not as good as AB at full strength.
Yeah. I'm the commissioner of my friends and family league, and I just set it so teams can protest but not veto trades. There is no good reason to veto that deal unless somebody's just a sore loser.

Thought Police
Finally dropped Peyton Manning's old ***. I fully expect him to return to championship form next week.
Randle or Michael, whichever one you think will get the goal line work. I'd lean towards Randle for that personally.
I think it's Snead. He has a great matchup and Colston is out. The runningback situation in Dallas is just too unstable right now.
Snead. Indy might have both starting safeties out on Sunday. Unless he draws Vontae Davis in coverage he should be in line for a big day.
Too hard to say right now how the workload between Randle and Michael will be divvied up. If one of them gets a hot hand and you're playing the other guy, then you're screwed.
I have Snead in the line-up right now and he was my plan. Just thought I'd run it by the CF FF thread and I'm glad you agree.
Uh huh, suuuure. Just post your lineup & we'll set it for you, don't gotta act like you're just running it by us.
I thought my team was good but nope. Lost Jamaal Charles. Peyton is old and sucks. Luckily the Dez Bryant owner dropped him and I picked him up. Same with Lamar Miller. He'll be a decent but not great fill in for Charles. At least he's a starter.
