I'd start Turner over McFadden... and that's coming from a Raiders fan. the Raiders defense makes every RB look like the best back in the league... and McFadden hasn't done shit so far this year. maybe the offense will get their shit together and fix their blocking scheme to suit McFadden's running style... but I'm not holding my breath
maybe I'm just a bitter Raiders fan who's pissed off at my team for being shitty... so my opinion could be skewed. I hope D Mac has a big game though
Yeah Atlanta is horrible against the run, Id start McFadden and Turner.
The only downside to that is if Atlanta opens it up early on em and the Raiders abandon the run completely. I don't think they will though because the Raiders had alot of time to gameplan for the Falcons.
McFadden on turf? Thats definitely worth the squeeze.

I'm Thinking Of Doing This this week.
QB: Alex Smith (Against terrible NY secondary)
RB: Frank Gore (Been solid all year)
RB: Steven Ridley (Been solid against good run defense especially in no huddle)
WR: Damaryius Thomas (Always Solid)
WR: ????? (Need advice)
TE: Jermichael Finley (got no choice, Olsen on Bye)
R/W/T: ????? (Need advice)
DEF: Patriots (I think they'll shut down Seattle more than Texans will to GB)
K: Justin Tucker
Basically I'm wondering what i should play in my flex and WR spot. I think Vick Ballard can go off this week but it might be too risky. Anquan and Lloyd have both been solid but Bolden been on a tear, BUT he faces Dallas' nasty secondary. any advice would be great.

I had some dude week 2 offer me Alfred Morris, Torrey Smith and AJ Green for Frank Gore. fucking hater commish Veto'd it. he tried to veto my recent trade that got me Ridley and Damaryius for Newton but i emailed him 1st before he did. fucking hater just mad he's 1-4 and in the same division as me lol.
Phillip Rivers single handily lost the matchup for me this week. SINGLE HANDILY!
I was up 12 fuckin' points going into the 2nd half in my matchup and my opponent had nobody playing at all tonight.
30 minutes later.....i lose by 2 points!
HAD FUCKIN' DAMN IT! I HAVE SOME OF THE WORST LUCK THIS SEASON WHEN IT COMES TO FANTASY FOOTBALL ITS INSANE!

Philip Rivers won it for me tonight.
I was up by 17 with D. Thomas and he had Rivers and Matthews left. I thought I'd lose for sure, but luckily for me Rivers lost 2 fumbles and threw 4 picks
dude I was playing left RG3 on his bench too... ouch
I've been hella lucky this year though. out of 8 teams I only have the 5th most overall points and I'm 5-1 in 1st place

I just traded matt ryan and nate washington for cam newton and lesean mccoy.
Im 3-3 right now and needed a change if i want to compete...
Now my backfield consists of
Matt Forte
Marshawn Lynch
Lesean McCoy
I hope this works..

in leagues that use team defense, is it common for people to carry two defenses?
I'm also HURTIN for a RB, not a single waive wire pickup worth dropping one of my players for, so I rolled without a second RB and lost my week by 8 points.
It also doesn't help that I didn't play Antonio Gates, who finally did something.

this guy in my league is trying to trade Brees and Percy Harvin... the 2nd top scoring QB and the top scoring WR... crazy
I'm on that shit
this is my team right now:
QB - Cam Newton, Andy Dalton
WR - Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Smith, Torrey Smith, Anquan Boldin, Demaryius Thomas, Greg Jennings
RB - Ray Rice, Matt Forte, Stevan Ridley, Reggie Bush, Felix Jones
TE - Aaron Hernandez, Kyle Rudolph
K - Greg Zuerlein
D - JJ Watt, Lance Briggs, William Moore, Mike Adams
Thinking about offering Cam and a RB, I'm assuming he wants a RB... would you offer Ray Rice and Cam for Brees and Harvin? I'm gonna try Cam and Forte, but he might not do it..
I do have more WRs than RBs right now though... so I dunno...
what do you guys think?
