All conversation relating to Division Five will be held in here.

Big enough swing due in places this week. I'm down to 6th from 3rd. Andre Johnson getting hurt is a killer and bye weeks the past two have hurt me pretty badly while haven't hurt my opponents too much.

Jimmy Iovine · 21-10-2011 12:14am

I dropped 2 places to 3rd overall. Also been knocked off top spot in my division. These bye weeks have eaten away at my scores. That's what happens when you have no idea what you're doing for the draft and then actually miss the draft. Fluked a decent team though.

I'm looking to off load either Jay Cutler or Roddy White (or maybe even both) for a top WR. I'm open to any and all offers.

Hazys · 21-10-2011 3:30pm

I was 0-2 heading into week 3 (even tho i had the 4th highest pts total) so i controversially dropped my starters like Matt Ryan, Pettigrew, etc to teach them a lesson about their poor performance.

People thought i was crazy, "how will benching Brandon Pettigrew from your fantesy team make him play better in the real world?!?!" they said.

Ye guys dont know nutin' about motivation. So I lost the game but since then, my players have responded to their embarrassing benching and i've gone 3-0. Who's crazy now?

I'm now one game behind the divison leader Gadsden Patriots. I'm coming for ya Gadsden Patriots!! You better watch out!!

Hazys · 21-10-2011 5:32pm

Boards Division 5, the grassroots of Fantesy Football, where people play for the love of the game and the thrill of competition.

Unlike the Boards Premier Division, a bunch of pampered, over sexed, prima donnas who are more more worried about their next endorsment deal rather than how many points their TE got on Sunday.

Well well well if it isn't my old nemesis team better than awesome. I'll watch out, but not until I play a team on a 5 game losing streak this week, after beating a team on a 5-game losing streak last week. Unfortunately I don't get to play thrash you this regular season despite being in my division, but I could see us eeting in the postseason.

matthew8 · 22-10-2011 4:40pm

So, are we taking over the Tash Ticklers or not?

Johnny_Fontane · 23-10-2011 10:41pm

There is bad weeks and then there is this.....

Lost graham, Hightower, wells and Santana moss to injury...

Then foster goes for 41 points against me!!!!

C'mon god...what did I do to deserve this!

Ha I'm 4-3 now (unless this weeks opp's K gets 30 points tonight) pressure is on...don't crumble now

I went from a good RB situation a few weeks ago to a RB needy situation now. I had 3 starters, McGahee, Benson and AP...McGahee broke his hand yesterday and Goodell suspended Benson...worst timing with all the bye weeks coming up so i'll have my fingers crossed that McGahee's injury isnt that bad and Benson can sucessfully apeal his ban.

Needy running back situation and AP in the same sentence is a bit of an oxymoron.

Johnny_Fontane · 25-10-2011 3:39pm

I had RB's on sunday with

Beanie Wells
Earnest Graham
Torain
hightower
Knowshon moreno

now I have torain and moreno!

Jimmy Iovine · 25-10-2011 11:39pm

Had been hoping to move up in the standings this week but the two teams ahead of me won as well. Figured out there that I have the best score differential in the league, 145.52. Would prefer the number one ranking though.

This weeks game should be a laugh. Both of us will be missing our defence and kicker. I'll be down Roddy White as well. Hoping that Drew Brees continues on from last week. A ridiculous score to post from him.

Every game is must win at this stage to try and get a bye in the playoffs. The byes are making it real difficult although they won't really affect me until the following week.

Agreed, i'm ranked 4th and didnt move up either as all top 3 won again. 2 clear in my division though. Not predicting a big score from my team this week though.

matthew8 · 26-10-2011 6:20pm

Big week this for me, hoping to win my 3rd in a row and get another win in before my week of death, which is week 9 when I am missing Calvin Johnson and Cam Newton i.e the majority of my points.

tbukela · 26-10-2011 7:53pm

Had a shocker at the weekend. It seems that RBs are dropping like flies.
Jahvid Best out for me is a disaster.

Jimmy Iovine · 28-10-2011 4:31pm

Made a hasty decision and brought in Scobee as kicker to cover for Crosby. Bit of a gamble on the back of his performance last weekend but any amount of points is a plus in that area for me. I'm only missing 2 now due to the bye week.

The rest of my team is pretty solid. I'm projected to beat him by 28 points with Brees looking at 32 points compared to Tebow's 16. I know they're not too accurate at times but if they're anywhere around that then I'd be happy. just want to get these bye weeks out of the way now.

Hazys · 31-10-2011 1:07am

Barring Demarco Murray beating his performance from last week and a few other freak performances, it looks like i'm moving into 1st place in Div 4.

Not bad after a 0-3 start, then a 5 game winning streak now 5-3 :cool:

Next week will be a must win for me, with a rotten schedule in the last 4 games. I'll get you, you scoundrel. Count yourself lucky I'm not on your schedule.

Next week:
No Calvin Johnson, no Cam Newton, bottom taken out of team. However my opponent loses Jones-Drew.

I think for the first time in weeks I'll be active on the waiver wire, which means I'll go after around 5 players.

Just looked ahead at your game next week, prepare to get thrashed.

Johnny_Fontane · 31-10-2011 8:55am

It's warming up nicely in division 5. Took down another number one seed this week.....

Wire is very bare, if you are looking for bodies, you should have already done it....

Already covered myself for a bad looking week 11

Ahem, Green-Ellis and the good Mike Williams are on the wire.

matthew8 · 31-10-2011 2:40pm

Time to assess my team situation:
QB: Cam Newton, sorted.
RB: Lynch, Jacobs, Bush and Murray, not quite sorted but happy enough and I will be in a great spot if I get Green-Ellis.
WR: C. Johnson, Little, Nelson, obviously I have the best WR in the league but until Colt McCoy learns to play well Little has very little (pardon the pun) value while Nelson is a solid number 2 option as a no. 2 WR in a fully functional passing attack. Hopefully I get Mike Williams in which case I will have, in my opinion, the best situation in the league.
TE: Winslow, happy.
K: Last week had Mare, and I don't think I'll be the only one dropping him. In this position apart from long distance kickers like Janikowski and Crosby it's all about backing the right horse on Sunday. So far I have done that once.
DEF: There are around 10 defenses who you can stick with for the season, unfortunately I don't have any of them so I'll never be sorted.

I lose AP to the bye week but i get Benson and Jennings back (fingers crossed for McGahee also), so itll be a tough matchup.

He has Ray Rice but Ravens play Steelers next week and they dont give up too much on the ground...well hopefully not like the 1st game of the season anyway

That squad not good enough to contend i'm afraid....
Zero depth at wr or RB if you get injuries....
Newton missing game 9, green Ellis not getting carries....

Amazed you are 5-3, weak division no doubt

matthew8 · 01-11-2011 1:47am

That squad not good enough to contend i'm afraid....

Well I have the best record in the league, until tomorrow, at which point one guy will be ahead of me.

Zero depth at wr or RB if you get injuries....

WR you're spot on, but RB? I had 3 guys who started on the weekend, and as it happened they're done with their bye weeks.

Newton missing game 9, green Ellis not getting carries....

Newton may be missing game 9, but I don't have Green-Ellis. If I get him I have 3 starters and 2 prominent backups.

Amazed you are 5-3, weak division no doubt

Eh, what? AFAIK my division has little bearing on my schedule, as I don't play one of the other guys in my division.

Johnny_Fontane · 01-11-2011 9:00am

You are seventh.

Your last five games are all tough, you have to play a number of top teams.

Your RB core is poor. Lynch plays for Seattle, bush Miami, Jacobs very much no.2 and injured, Murray is breakout but he's a marked man now.

At wr you have even bigger issues outside megatron.

Your te, k and def are not top tier in any way.

I reckon it's very tough for you going forward.

You also told me earlier in the season that you were happy with Donovan mcnabb over cam Newton, you made a case for mcnabb. Until I traded him to you for beanie wells.

So i can't take you seriously.

Johnny_Fontane · 01-11-2011 9:07am

And you have already played the whipping boys,aka tash ticklers

Jimmy Iovine · 01-11-2011 3:03pm

Well I'd like to wade into this lovers tiff and offer up my opinions on my own team.

QB
- Can't get much better or more consistent than Drew Brees. 2700 yards and 19 TDs says it all really.
- My back up in the shape Jay Cutler is ploughing along nicely as well. He'll be a more than capable stand in when Brees has his bye.

RB
- Again you can't get much better than LeSean McCoy. 8 rushing TDs and 2 passing TDs. His worst week was 11 points, which is better than some players best week.
- Jonathan Stewart is going well as the second RB in my team. I'd love to have a guy in there that could keep up with McCoy scoring wise but I'm happy enough for the moment.
- I only brought in Donald Brown the other week and he hasn't figured at all really. Can't remember why I brought him in but he'll be leaving soon again anyway.

WR
- This is by far my most irritating position. I have Roddy White who was tipped to do very well this season. He's had an injury for large chunks of the season which hasn't helped matters. He's been my biggest disappointment.
- Brandon Marshall is pretty much the same. I think he has the most dropped passes in the league. If he'd caught a few of them then I'd probably be at the top of the leaderboard at this moment.
- Roy Williams, I left him on the bench for his only stand-out performance of the season so far. I still won the game but it was frustrating. Not really sure what to do with him for now.

TE
- Rob Gronkowski was on fire at the start of the season. His scores for the first three games were 14, 21, 22. Can't ask for anything more from a TE. He tailed off recently but signs that he's getting back into the rhythm of it all with a team high seven passes for 94 yards at the weekend. It helps if Tom Brady is your QB.
- Dallas Clark would have been my starting TE I'd say if it weren't for the injury to Peyton Manning. He hasn't got a look in at all. Only two TDs as well. I'm glad I've Gronkowski.

K
- Mason Crosby is a divil for the long field goals. He's had plenty in the 30-39 range, afew in the 40-49 range and two whoppers in the 50+ range. When you have a guy like him in your team who's capable of them kicks then it's like having a top WR or RB in your team.
- I brought Josh Scobee in for the bye and he did nothing for me. I got him a week too late. He had 3 from 50+ yards the week before. I'll be dropping him when I get the chance.

DEF
- I've been a bit disappointed with the Green Bay Packers so far. I expected some big time scores from them but it's been anything but. They've had a few average weeks but I'm hoping they'll pick it up now after the break for the bye. They're still unbeaten so they must be doing something right.

Overall I'm happy enough with my team. I've 4 players who are in the top-3 scoring categories in their respective position (Brees, McCoy, Gronkowki, Crosby). No one else is even close to that number so I'm pretty pleased with that.

I've got a WR who some people were ranking above Megatron in the pre-season and a defence that were tipped to be the best in the league this season. If either of them can get back to their best then I'll be in with a good shout come then business end of the season.

Johnny_Fontane · 01-11-2011 3:36pm

thats a strong team above.

I've got:
Vick at QB - top 5 QB, still hasnt rushed for a td this year, but consistently strong and Eagles are starting to roll.

RB - Beanie Wells - knee injury problems, but had a 14 point game vs the ravens last week.
Torain - with the terrible redskins, so not much upside there.
Knowshon Moreno, no upside here apart from the fact that he's a no.2. could possibly have a breakout week with his speed, but haven't seen signs of it.
picked up Lumpkin last week if Blount is still out injured.

WR - Marques Colston - one of the best around on his day. Is seeing team high targets and is a consistent no.1 performer when fit.
Pierre Garcon - even in spite of curtis painter he is still seeing team high targets. Solid performer. 8th in NFL
Michael Crabtree has been solid even though he never gets a look in, cos of above.
michael Jenkins is fine as a backup

TE - Owen daniels - gets plenty of targets but rarely gets that elusive TD. Disappointed with him, but hes seventh ranked in the NFL.
Shiancoe as a backup.

DEF - Giants D - sack like crazy but give up points....they'll do fine for the rest of the season.

K - Kasay - FA pickup prior to round one. 2nd in NFL

So, its an ok team. Feel there is a big week in there somewhere. My trade of Newton for Wells looks like it could backfire, but no use having two unbelievable QB's.

matthew8 · 01-11-2011 3:58pm

Obviously you have a very good QB situation, enough said.

RB
- Again you can't get much better than LeSean McCoy. 8 rushing TDs and 2 passing TDs. His worst week was 11 points, which is better than some players best week.
- Jonathan Stewart is going well as the second RB in my team. I'd love to have a guy in there that could keep up with McCoy scoring wise but I'm happy enough for the moment.
- I only brought in Donald Brown the other week and he hasn't figured at all really. Can't remember why I brought him in but he'll be leaving soon again anyway.

I'm kicking myself for drafting Charles instead of McCoy, he was my second choice, though admittedly by some distance. He's obviously brilliant, though I would seek to get a better number 2. Jonathan Stewart and Donald Brown won't win you any games.

WR
- This is by far my most irritating position. I have Roddy White who was tipped to do very well this season. He's had an injury for large chunks of the season which hasn't helped matters. He's been my biggest disappointment.
- Brandon Marshall is pretty much the same. I think he has the most dropped passes in the league. If he'd caught a few of them then I'd probably be at the top of the leaderboard at this moment.
- Roy Williams, I left him on the bench for his only stand-out performance of the season so far. I still won the game but it was frustrating. Not really sure what to do with him for now.

You really ought to drop Roy Williams. The Bears are extremely unreliable and in general it's best to stay away from their WRs because there are 4 guys who seem to alternate as being Cutler's favourite target, and they all have to compete with Matt Forte. Brandon Marshall this year must be frustrating to own but for most people he'd be an upgrade at WR. I don't know what's going on with Roddy White so I won't say anything and I'll just be glad that you took him over megatron.

TE
- Rob Gronkowski was on fire at the start of the season. His scores for the first three games were 14, 21, 22. Can't ask for anything more from a TE. He tailed off recently but signs that he's getting back into the rhythm of it all with a team high seven passes for 94 yards at the weekend. It helps if Tom Brady is your QB.
- Dallas Clark would have been my starting TE I'd say if it weren't for the injury to Peyton Manning. He hasn't got a look in at all. Only two TDs as well. I'm glad I've Gronkowski.

That is a truly top notch TE situation. The Gronk on his own is brilliant, and Dallas Clark is obviously a guy you can put in if Rob is injured.

K
- Mason Crosby is a divil for the long field goals. He's had plenty in the 30-39 range, afew in the 40-49 range and two whoppers in the 50+ range. When you have a guy like him in your team who's capable of them kicks then it's like having a top WR or RB in your team.
- I brought Josh Scobee in for the bye and he did nothing for me. I got him a week too late. He had 3 from 50+ yards the week before. I'll be dropping him when I get the chance.

Mason Crosby brings back some bad memories of losing to you by 11, and him scoring 11 more than my kicker.

DEF
- I've been a bit disappointed with the Green Bay Packers so far. I expected some big time scores from them but it's been anything but. They've had a few average weeks but I'm hoping they'll pick it up now after the break for the bye. They're still unbeaten so they must be doing something right.

You're right to be disappointed, but the waiver wire is very thin.

I've got a WR who some people were ranking above Megatron in the pre-season and a defence that were tipped to be the best in the league this season. If either of them can get back to their best then I'll be in with a good shout come then business end of the season.

Roddy White could become a superstar again, and if he does he's unstoppable.

I asked this question a while back and got no answer: Who are the top 4 that get promoted? Is it last 4 in the playoffs, or top 4 in the table?

matthew8 · 01-11-2011 4:13pm

I've got:
Vick at QB - top 5 QB, still hasnt rushed for a td this year, but consistently strong and Eagles are starting to roll.

Tbh he's still the best in the league fantasy-wise, and he surely has a massive game in him.

RB - Beanie Wells - knee injury problems, but had a 14 point game vs the ravens last week.
Torain - with the terrible redskins, so not much upside there.
Knowshon Moreno, no upside here apart from the fact that he's a no.2. could possibly have a breakout week with his speed, but haven't seen signs of it.
picked up Lumpkin last week if Blount is still out injured.

Wells is a guy you can start every week, so you're sorted at RB 1. However RB 2 is not a great situation, Lumpkin has little upside and neither does Moreno, you're hopes in this position rest upon whether the Redskins can get their line in order and stay ahead/just behind on Sunday. They need to start running to win, and hopefully Shanahan realises this.

WR - Marques Colston - one of the best around on his day. Is seeing team high targets and is a consistent no.1 performer when fit.

You said it, consistent no.1.

Pierre Garcon - even in spite of curtis painter he is still seeing team high targets. Solid performer. 8th in NFL

He's one Colts player who hasn't been hit that badly by Curtis Painter being the starter. Painter seems to like him, top notch number 2.

TE - Owen daniels - gets plenty of targets but rarely gets that elusive TD. Disappointed with him, but hes seventh ranked in the NFL.
Shiancoe as a backup.

I'd say the emergence of Dreessen hasn't helped Daniels one bit, but as you say he's ranked 7th so no need to be annoyed.

DEF - Giants D - sack like crazy but give up points....they'll do fine for the rest of the season.

That's the Giants for you, I drafted them for the pass rush (they have an incredible number of pass rushers) but was disappointed by the lack of production elsewhere.

So, its an ok team. Feel there is a big week in there somewhere. My trade of Newton for Wells looks like it could backfire, but no use having two unbelievable QB's.

Newton for Wells worked out well for both of us, no doubt.

matthew8 · 01-11-2011 7:35pm

Fun fact: Only 3 of the players I drafted are still with my team. And only one of them is a starter.

Yea I think I tried to get Charles off you at the start of the season. Bit of a hit and hope but 3 days later he got injured so I dodged a bullet.

As for Stewart he's had a decent few weeks to be fair. In weeks 6 and 7 he pulled in one TD in each and got 13 points each week. It's not too bad. If he kept them stats up I'd be very happy.

Ha ha yea I'd forgotten about that. I think he got 3 30-39 field goals and one 50+. If it hadn't been for them I'd be down a good bit in the rankings.

Wow. I've 10 of mine left. The only ones I let go were Steve Breaston, Thomas Jones and Ronnie Brown. Think I made the right call with all of them bar one week where Breaston got two TDs. But I can live with that.

slowharry · 03-11-2011 11:56am

Just wondering what everyone's best and worst draft picks were.

Best - Fred Jackson in the 4th round.
honourable mentions to Stafford in the 6th

worst - Vincent Jackson in the 2nd.
dishonourable mention to Gates in the 3rd
Chargers are a big disappointment although Gates is starting to show signs of life

Best Waiver pick up - Victor Cruz in week 4
honourable mentions to Lions defence last week 29 points!

Jimmy Iovine · 03-11-2011 12:45pm

Best
Brees - round 3
McCoy - round 1
Gronkowski - round 10
Crosby - round 8 (solely for the fact he won me a game all on his own one week)

Worst
Roddy White - round 2
Brandon Marshall - round 4

Waiver wire
I've only really gone into it this week. I got Scobee for the bye last week and he did nothing. Same with a few others over the season. I'll be hoping one of Jon Baldwin, Avant or Law Firm is a good pick.

matthew8 · 03-11-2011 4:50pm

Best-
2nd round-Calvin Johnson, best fantasy WR this year, and in the second round, what a steal
3rd round-Beanie Wells, he's not with the team because I traded him for Cam Newton but he was great value
4th round- Steve Johnson, another great fantasy WR, again not with team because I traded him for Marshawn Lynch (He's only started one game while with my team, but so far it's a bad trade)

Worst-
1st round- Jamaal Charles, he's a brilliant player but out for the season, that really hurts when you use the 6th pick of the draft on him
6th round- Lee Evans, I know it's only the 6th round but come on, I need SOMETHING for a draft pick. In hindsight it was a very dumb pick with Graham, Stafford and Green still on the board. If only I rated the Bengals back then.
9th/10th round- David Garrard and Donovan McNabb, I found out the hard way that McNabb is done and some idiot of a coach decided that Garrard wasn't worthy of his team.

jester1980 · 04-11-2011 2:42pm

Steve SMith in the 6th Round has done very well for me, rest of my top 5 have all played well.

Alot of dropping players from round nine down. Have no player still on my team that i drafter from round 9-13. Rest are still there.

Benimar · 05-11-2011 11:27am

Best:
5th Round - Matt Schaub - 18 to 20 points guaranteed per week. No mega-games but very consistent and will get better when Johnson is back.
10th Round - Jordy Nelson - I had him in my sights pre-draft and was delighted to get him. Won me one (of my two!) games on his own.

Worst:
Where to start!
2nd Round - LeGarrett Blount - was sharing carries before he got injured. Been looking for a decent RB all season, but they are in short supply.
4th Round - Percy Harvin - My God, McNabb is s*it..he killed Harvin
7th Round - Kellen Winslow - incapable scoring more than 3 points per game.

I still have picks 1-6, 8 and 10. The rest are gone.

Vick at QB - top 5 QB

No he's not, not in the format the Boards leagues use anyway. The top 5 fantasy QBs in order are Newton, Rodgers, Brees, Stafford, Brady.

Alright this week against the odds, despite our star players being gone, myself and team better than awesome have won with very good scores. This should see me move into a wildcard slot, before I play 4 games of death to close out the regular season.

had an absolute mare.

beanie wells had 33 yards combined. torain was benched in favour of helu. brought in moreno and hes utter rubbish as mcgahee went wild (he played with a broken hand? how the f**k do you play with a broken hand).

need vick to get 35 points tonight and thats not happening....it could happen, but it wont!

6 game winning streak now and no sign of slowing down (barring a 300yard game from Desean Jackson tonight).

AP is back from his bye next week also :cool:

Serious moves being made this week. Two of the top 3 look set to lose. I got really lucky against my guy. I said it in the week 9 thread that he should put in Bush and Rice. If he did he'd be up another 26 points so thankfully he didn't bother.

By my very rough calculations I should slide up into 2nd overall. I've a relatively easy enough finish to the season as well. I'm up against Tash Ticklers and Pack it all In who've won 1 game between them. The others will be trickier but I'd expect at least two wins and maybe another there.

Also a special mention must go out to Brandon Marshall who finally caught a TD pass this weekend. Could it be the start of a late flurry of TDs for him? Hopefully so.

We've gone through best draft picks, what do you think were your best (and worst) free agent/waiver pickups.
Best-
De Marco Murray, free agent. Jones goes down, my natural instinct is to grab any starter that emerges in free agency, so I got this guy.
Kellen Winslow, waiver wire. 2 touchdowns in 2 games for me.
Carson Palmer, free agent. Only a bye week fill in for Cam Newton, but 18 points for a bye week fill in, very nice.

Worst-
Gregg Little, free agent. I picked him up when he began to start for the Browns, however he never got going, despite me wasting multiple starts on him.

I now have 4 starting RBs and I'm looking to trade one of them for a Top 15 or so WR.

I see there is a lot of teams with only one starting RB on their roster so i'm going to hit ye up with a trade, check your inbox.

whats your team name, i have 3 very decent WR's.

Team Better Than Awesome

Thanks to another TD from McCoy I had my 4th week with a +100 score.

You only see the value of getting as many points as you can towards the end of the season. I'm in 2nd now on points scored. Probably haven't a chance of catching the guy at the top. I've over 800 points and I'm still 72 behind him. Some scoring.

Hoping I can keep my place in the top-2. Makes it so much easier for the playoffs

matthew8 · 08-11-2011 9:26pm

I'm back 6-3 now and in a playoff spot, but have a gruelling schedule up ahead. If I beat my opponent next week, who holds the other wildcard spot, I will leapfrog them on games won, and probably also on points scored, which will be crucial.
