Fantasy Football

[NappyKorn]

decided to start RGIII over Bress this week cause I think RGIII has a better chance against Dallas than Brees does Against San Fransico, hope that works out for me. Picked up Ronnie Hillman to fill in for McCoy since McGahee is out in Denver. Lets see if I can bounce back from my first defeat.

Well its working for you at the moment. Hahaah. Stupid Dallas.

I do not like the Patriots very much. But I love Tom Brady for getting me 30 fantasy points. That's what I am thankful for fantasy football wise. Haahahah.

Well, I'm a Pats fan, so I was thrilled. However, I'm bummed that Julian Edelman might be hurt yet again, the guy can't catch a break! And what's wrong with Sparano and Rex not starting Tebow? It's not like they're making it to the playoffs, might as well test out the new acquisition which cost so much. And I thought about doing the same with Brees and RGIII, but I'm not entirely sure Brees can't deliver, specially since the 49ers are kind of in a weird spot right now, with Harbaugh hinting he might start Kaepernick even with Alex Smith bouncing back from his concussion, and that can sometimes get to your players' heads. They do not have that big of an offensive line if you can keep Gore/Hunter in check (I don't think the Saints can, btw), and THOSE other offensive players (I'm looking at you, Crabtree) might ALSO start to worry that they're gonna lose their starting positions, which can lead to the Saints having more offensive opportunities should the 49ers stumble. And let's be honest, given enough opportunities (which is why keeping those clock-eaters Gore and Hunter in check is imperative), Brees IS going to deliver (not to mention not only they DESPERATELY need to win, but they must be TICKED at last year's playoff game, so there's also that...). I think this has everything to be the best game of Thanksgiving weekend.

I think the Saints d will be shredded by Vernon Davis. He is so hard to cover with that speed. I like Keapernick alot. Be is so good on the long throws. But I hope it to be a good game. Tebow whould get the nod at this point. He broke two ribs but Ryan said he was 100%.  Edelman is a real good player. I like his two touchdwons he got though. And on a side note go Irish!!!!!!

Well football today was great because my Rams won for the first time since week 5. The Niners won like I thought they would. Denver won(like my whole family is Broncos fans so I like when they win). The Bears lost 6 key players which is gonna hurt them alot. And I knew the Ginats had a shot but 38-10 over the Packers is like amazing. And it is clear to see the Steelers are nothing without Big Ben. And Notre Dame(my favorite college team)has an automatic spot in the BCS because they are 12-0 and have no games left. I am excited for that!

Me and my opponent have no players playing Monday night so I'll be 10-1-1 now. If my numbers are correct I'll have the #1 and #2 QBs in my league, the #1 RB. I'll have the #1 TE for at least one more week at least until Graham passes my injuried Gronkowski. I actually drafted each of those players and didnt pick any up in FA. My scoring is a bit different than some leagues with bonuses for 40+ and 50+ TD catches, passes, and rushes so my players more than likely are different than some leagues. Doug Martin has a 9 point advantage over Foster which is the #2 rusher in my league. RGIII moves to the top of the QBs in my league with Brees in 2nd followed by Aaron Rodgers. 3 of my 4 WRs didnt score a single point this week but with RGIII putting up 44 points and my IDPs scoring a total of 51 points I can't complain.

GO 49ERS!!!!! Oh yeah and the dolphins got a win too so both my favorite teams got wins.

All in all, I think it was a nice weekend. I kinda feel bad for the Saints, they were REALLY punished for each turnover, though I guess that's what you get playing against the 49ers defense, and I feel bad for Alex Smith as well, it was really, really weird (and kinda douchy) benching him like that, and even though Kaepernick is getting the wins, I'm not sure he's getting the numbers, but I still think Smith is screwed and not coming back in. My Fantasy League is settled for the playoffs (I'm seeded n.º 1 and completely screwed, playing agains the Seat 1 Drafter from our league, and even though I beat him 3 times, they were by 6 points, 2 points and 1 point), nothing can happen in the last week to change anything, but the important thing is the guys had fun, and we will probably have another all-brazilian fantasy league next year, perhaps with more than 6 people (I think we might crack 8-10).

I feel bad for Smith as well. Kaepernick may be their future but not now I think. Vernon Davis said Smith was his guy still so we will see. I hope he gets his job back. And I now love Cam Newton for getting me 37 fantasy points this week and helping me win.

I'm still rooting for the Saints to get to the playoffs on the Wildcard (c'mon, a team finally having a real shot at duking it out at home court? awesome!), but I'm not sure it's possible. Green Bay losing helps, but truth be told, I'm not sure there ARE two available spots the Saints can fight for right now, I think Packers/Bears are going to get one no matter what, so it's basically a single spot left, and the Saints are 2 games behind (if they don't want to depend on breakers). If this keeps up as bad as it has been lately (Cowboy Stadium - Dallas don't make it to the playoffs; Indianapolis - Manning gets hurt, worst LEague record; New Orleans - THIS happens with the Saints), I'm not sure I'd even WANT to have a Super Bowl, unless I'm the Kansas City Chiefs, Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles or Carolina Panthers. Or the Miami Dolphis, because let's face it, they're doing a little better this year, but it's not like they're going t go anywhere, I mean, it's the DOLPHINS! THey NEVER make it.

The NFC has several teams that could make it. Like you said its either gonna be the Bears or Packers for one spot. But then you have the Vikings, Buccaneers, and Seahawks at 6-5. And the Saints, Redskins, and Cowboys at 5-6. So who knows. For AFC I think it will be two of these three teams: Colts, Steelers, and Bengals.

[FM]

Aren't the Colts winning their Division?

[LOTRFreak15]

The Texans are 10-1

[FM]

Right, of course, duh. I think I mistook then for the Broncos.

So Kaepernick has been name the official starter for the 49ers. If the Niners want Alex Smith to stay another year(I don't think will happen if Kaepernick continues to play well) they would have to pay him 10 million dollars. So he might be a free agent. And her is a few places I think he could end up. #1: Dallas. This might be a long shot but I don't think Jerry Jones likes Tony Romo. #2: I think Fitzpatrick is done there. And Alex Smith would be good at what the Bills should do more, run the ball with C.J Spiller and Jackson. #3:Arizona perhaps. They need a qb bad. And Larry Fitzgerald would like a good one as well. Last one: The Jets. Mayne not but Sanchez is bad. And its not all him but he looks bad. And I don't think Tebow is the answer there either.
