Told you guys about cooks and Thomas
Cooks was my first pick

Told you about Fleener. 400 and 4 and he caught 1 pass? Guess the Saints haven't replaced the best TE of all time just yet...

Saints D is so bad that he probably has a few good weeks but I doubt he pays off his ADP. Opportunity and targets are important but like I said you generally have to be good at football to accumulate statistics.

No offense, but this is probably why you are not very good at fantasy football. You CAN predict this shit. CJA was undervalued for two main reasons; disappointed owners from last year and the new trendiness of being WR-obsessed.

Even though he disappointed in 2015, his secondary metrics (YAC, broken tackles) were among the league's best. With Hillman gone, and given how good of a blocker he is, he is going to be on the field a lot. On a team with a rookie QB that will likely want to dump off a lot, no other good options at RB, where the defense sets up the offense with some short fields, and a revamped offensive line...add all that up and I think he's going to have a good year.

One game does not a season make, but we even discussed earlier in this thread that he was one of the names that was falling at least a round below where he should.

The main reason he was undervalued or valued at less than what his value is right now has to do with the fact that nobody knew who their QB was.

Unless people consider you an elite talent then they generally don't want a RB in an offense that is being captained by a bottom 5 QB.

Another reason, and there isn't a stat on this or anything, but he always seemed to have an injury last year even though none were major. I don't think I've ever seen an RB limp off, walk off or jog off the field as much as CJ Anderson. He always had something going on.

He should be pretty solid if he can somehow stay healthy though.

Certainly next week...

Fleener's some what replacement on Colts (Dwayne Allen who they resigned while they let Fleener walk) had a decent week 1 with 53 yards, a TD catch, and a 2 point conv. catch.

Yeah, he looked good. Problem with him is he might have to block a lot and he tends to get hurt a lot. He is a legit talent when healthy though, unfortunately that talent extends to blocking where he is 1 of the best TE's in the league. Something the Colts need.

He had a really nice stretch of games in 2014 before getting a high ankle sprain vs the Pats. Then that submarined the rest of his season and then last year was a disaster for the Colts all around obviously. I remember I got him in my auction for $1 in 2013 and thought he was a really nice sleeper. Then he ran over some guy for a TD in the first game but had hip surgery and was out for the year because of the play.

In post #297 of this this thread I said I thought he was a good sleeper.

Another thing with him is that he wanted out of Indy after last season because they weren't using him in the passing game enough. So for him to re-sign he must've got some assurances that they would expand his offensive role.

Keenan Allen done for the year.

Gotta get Tyrell Williams.

Hurts whole Chargers offense, probably helps Woodhead since they will be behind more w/o Allen. And then just the uptick in targets.

He did not run many routes yesterday. Did a pretty good job blocking. We will see. His ADP surprised me as I was not able to draft him in any league .

We will see.

I will say this . The saints have the best wr group in team history right now.

What an amazing trio we have now .

Brees 5k yards easy

Sign Jalen Richard if you've got some roster room. Wouldn't be surprised if he took Murray's job in the next month or so. At the very least, he is the handcuff to have instead of Washington.

Trade L Murray if you know someone in your league who doesn't read this thread.

I gotta get better on lineup decisions

on my bench wallace, fuller, woodhead all went off. Any of those would have been better than marshal, watkins, or edelmen this week



already a tough time decision for Thursday on what to do with tyrod

I think Edelman over Woodhead was the right move, it is close though. If K Allen doesn't go down does Woodhead eat like that? Who knows...Marshall you aren't ever sitting and Watkins seemed like he had a good matchup and was relatively healthy.

I would probably find someone to go over Tyrod on Thurs though. And I'd consider Woodhead over Watkins this week with Watkins banged up and K Allen out.

I'm definitely thinking about sitting tyrod and Watkins. will have to hit the waiver wire for a qb tho. not losing much replacing watkins with woodhead. woodhead looks like he could really be a ppr stud now with Allen out. When Leveon comes back I'll have two of the best pass catching backs in football.

Reports on watkins are all over the place. All the way from out for the season to playing on Thursday.

Michael Thomas kid from the Saints looks like the real deal. if snead or cooks goes down he will be a stud


I've got Travis Benjamin in one league but I feel like he will struggle in the wr1 role. kind of like Cobb last season.
