Annual RCF Rate My Team/Who to Play Thread

[SixPACK]

I got offered Jimmy Graham for Le'Veon Bell. My other backs are Forte and Ingram and CJ Anderson. TE is Ertz, I've been bad at TE all year. So basically I would be replacing Ertz with Graham and Bell with Ingram. What do you guys think?

I mean Forte and Ingram is a pretty nice RB duo. If you have a Flex is would be hard to pass up on startin Bell, Forte AND Ingram.

What other TE's are on the market?

PPR league, got offered AJ Green and Reggie Wayne for Shady McCoy. I have Jamaal Charles and Rashad Jennings along with Julio and Doug Baldwin because of Percy Harvin bye week. I have Josh Gordon coming back next week and I am at a must win week in my league to make the playoffs. Thoughts?

Rashad Jennings fully healthy? Can you get something else out of them besides Wayne?? You will have a nice set of WR with Green, Julio and Gordon. Can you get a decent TE out of him instead of Wayne?

Odell Beckham Jr or Desean Jackson for my flex? Not a PPR league.

I love OBJ but Jackson is playing the Bucs. I feel you have to start him against them.

Am I nuts for starting Sanchez over Stafford and Ryan? I do like Ryan's matchup against Carolina.

I would do it. Having the TE advantage is huge and you can make more than due with Ingram as your 2nd RB. Look at it like this: Graham + Ingram vs. Bell + Ertz. Easy decision.

Not much available at all in the TE market. I think I'm set with the trade. I have stud WR's (Green and Jordy) and I got CJ Anderson as my flex. And AP waiting on the bench just in case he gets reinstated. I am super lucky that I was able to pick up Ingram the week before he came back from injury. If AP comes back my team will be stacked.

In other news, someone dropped Calvin Johnson for Charles Clay in my friends 16 team league

Is CJ Anderson even going to get burn this week with Ball being a full participant in practice and now healthy?

I think he will. Pretty sure they said they were going with the hot hand approach. I'm sure they will both play, but I doubt Ball will be the feature back right away or anything. Especially since he was pretty underwhelming when he was playing.

Another thing to note with Ingram is that his end of season schedule is a fucking cake walk. He plays:

CIN
BAL
@PIT
CAR
@CHI
ATL
@TB

Tampa won't matter because it's week 17, but look at those last three weeks. Those are three absolutely terrible defenses that routinely get butchered by opposing RBs.

Bell's schedule isn't much more difficult, but he does have a BYE next week and plays against Kansas City in week 16, which could make for a tough finals match-up if your team were to make it that far.

 

[Rookie]

Someone offered me a trade
Steven Jackson(me) for Anquan Boldin.
Should I take it?
It'll leave me with the 3 backs from Den. (which I will be dropping one) T. West and J. Bell. Not a lot of options going forward.
Anquan plays SEA, SD and Oak when our playoffs start, but Jackson plays Pit and GB

Is CJ Anderson even going to get burn this week with Ball being a full participant in practice and now healthy?

I'm starting both Ball and CJ. We'll see how that plays out.
I also have Ronnie, I dont know if I should drop him or not. He's been great for me when Ball went out.

Ten team league, .5 PPR...

Pick two RBs:
Eddie Lacy vs PHI
Mark Ingram vs CIN
Ahmad Bradshaw vs NE
CJ Anderson @ STL

Pick two WRs:
Brandon Marshall vs MIN
Antonio Brown @ TEN
Alshon Jeffery vs MIN
Julian Edelman @ IND

And then pick between the remainders plus Mychal Rivera for the flex spot (Jimmy Graham is my TE).

Right now I've got Lacy and Ingram along with Marshall and Brown, with Edelman at the flex spot. Mostly just waffling between Edelman and Jeffery, although if anyone has a compelling argument for one of the RBs I am willing to listen.

Welp. I was going to give you advice on who to start but then I read the last paragraph and I was going to say the exact same thing as you. So good call

Ended up flipping Shady and Kyle Rudolph for Jimmy Freaking Graham. Guy has Gio and Asiata as his starting RBs and needed a ton of help. From there I flipped Owen Daniels for Keenan Allen for a 1 week flex start against the Raiders, since I won't need Owen Daniels anymore, until next week I have Josh Gordon.

Lineup:
Cutler
Charles
Jennings
Julio
Jarvis Landry (Played tonight and got me a touchdown!)
Jimmy Graham
Keenan
Steelers D
Mason Crosby

If I can get a win this week I'll be 6-5 and back in the playoffs with Josh Gordon coming back next week and Percy Harvin to put in my flex. (League is PPR)

 

[TwoPistols]

I'm desperate this week since half my team is on bye or injured. In need of a strong, or the strongest (lol) flex play.

Here are my options or at least guys I am considering (1 PPR, and I can flex a QB):

RB:
Sims
Blue - (I hate playing guys against the Browns...someone convince me)
Stewart
Hyde

WR:
Baldwin
Colston
Davante Adams
Bowe
James Jones
Greg Jennings

QB:
Hill
Mettenberger
Stanton

I currently have Mallett my starter but there's no way I'm playing him. I know this is a ton of guys, but does anyone feel strongly about any of these options?

 

[jonmchugh]

All of the so called experts are saying start rg3. He has a easy match-up at home against Tampa Bay who gives up over 300 yards passing a game.

Should I start him over Matt Ryan or Stafford?
