But, I'll also be here for my expert opinion.

Very nice site. All i have been using is twitter and bleacherreport. Hope Julio has another big week. Nice keeper to have. GB def was a nice surprise last night.

Yeah I drafted him in our inaugural draft (last year), and haven't looked back since. Big play master.

Broncos D is solid, but he can always pull out the big play. I'm conservatively predicting 4/80/1

My keeper league is also a PPR league, which is nice considering the RB I have all catch a ton of balls.

GB's D really stepped up last night. But then again Cutler is an idiot who needs to stop throwing off his back foot. Its a wonder why he gets picked off so much...

.....really struggling to pick between RG3 and Newton this week, RG has the Rams, whereas Newton faces the Saints, any input?

Went 3-0 in Week 1...

(I'll post my rosters later)

1. Start RG3 (Garcon is a GTD though, so that may factor into your decision)
2. Who are the top FA in the league?

We pressured him all night too. That didn't help. Matthews alone had 3.5 sacks. 6 on the season. BEAST


was nice seeing Bush not get much PT last night. He blows. (Green bay corner...obviously not the chicago RB)

How good is Tramon Williams btw? One of the best cover corners in the league. Him and Woodson are just a ridiculous 1-2 punch. Since 08 Woodson has the most INTs in the NFL an since 2010 that title goes to Williams.

Cedric Benson looked great last night as well.

Fuck I love my pack.

The top FA are mostly WR, but at RB Knowshon Moreno is available, at TE Heath Miller and Marcedes Lewis, and at WR couple of Jets Stephen Hill and Jeremy Kerley, Austin Collie. To me doesn't seem to be much on the waiver wire that is an upgrade on what I'm already rolling out.

[Shep]

I'd drop Tebow for Stephen Hill. You already have Newton and RG3, zero reason to have a 3rd QB and Tebow is terrible. Stephen Hill by all accounts could be in for a big year. Holmes and Sanches do not get along, and Hill is huge. I could see him having a big year and being the Jets WR1 this year.

Go with RG3 even with Garcon possibly being out. Stafford threw 3 picks last week but still torched the Rams for 300+ and drove them down the field for the winning score. If he works the middle of the field on the Rams and avoid throwing at Jenkins or Finnegan, he'll be fine. Expect Fred Davis and whomever plays the slot for the Skins to put up solid numbers for RG3. Stafford's top targets seemed to be the TEs Pettrigrew, Scheffler and Heller and he did some dumping off to Smith out of the backfield. Megatron was locked up a lot of the day by either Finnegan or Jenkins.

Newton will put up numbers on the Saints as RG3...could be a case of both guys playing well but RG3 might just put up a few more points.

[armandtanzarian]

I had a rough week but...my opponent had a worse week, lol. Stephen Jackson and Andre Johnson kind of hurt me. I need to get another RB. What are the chances Mendenhall plays next week and makes an impact?

[Shep]

I hate fantasy football.

[KapG]

i lose this week because eli manning puts up 80 fan points.

retarded!

[Sensfanjosh]

My team crushed this week, big weeks for RG3, Trent Richardson and victor cruz ha

[armandtanzarian]

lol...Eli had a massive game and so did Hakeem. I want Julio to light er up tonight.

[Shep]

These refs are a joke.

[armandtanzarian]

WTF is going on with these clowns. That fucking call last night cost me my week. I lost by 2 points with GB defense. Mother fuckers!!!
