I already mentioned this in another thread, but I felt I should also post it in the official Fantasy Football thread as well.

I'm open to trading Brady if anyone feels like they have an average or sub par QB, and also happen to be deep at RB, because I'd like to see if anyone would be interested in trading a decent RB for Brady.

I grabbed Brady as a backup if Luck got hurt, but mostly because I thought he'd not be back until week 5 & I was going to use Brady during week 10 when Luck had his bye week. But I'm also trying to prevent those weeks where I'm debating whether or not Brady or Luck would be the better fit that week.

So I'd prevent having to second guess which QB to play week by week, and now that Brady isn't missing any games, he's still a top tier QB, and could be the difference maker on a team where your only weak spot is QB. Weak might not even be the right word, but maybe your QB is one of those 'iffy' guys where you just can't be sure if you're getting the stud version or the dud version.

Maybe there's no one out there that fits this situation, but if so, just let me know.

I'd do a straight across trade ofWilson for Brady as I don't have any RBs that anyone would want on my roster.

As if he'd do that ha!

I'll trade Blount if you want Brujah 👀

I'll consider it if no one else fits the scenario I described and offers a better trade. Also, I might wait a couple weeks to let people make sure Brady is still on top of his game. See how he does week 1 and 2, and maybe as long as he shows he's still capable of putting up top numbers I might get another offer. But I'm not discounting your offer just yet. But it does say Blount is suspended for Week 1 and had a "dismal" preseason. That don't mean he can't pull it together. I'm just scared of a Patriots RB. He could end up in a huge committee, or passed over. You just never know with Bill Bellicheck.

[Tattersail_]

To be honest Brujah, I thought you'd discard the offer straight away. He us meant to be their number one RB but like you said he's had a bad pre season. I know he's suspended week one, that's why he's on my bench.

RB is my weakest position I think but I don't think I'll suffer as much as I did last year with weak WRS.

Which brings me to today's news. Alshon Jeffery takes his first training session since August 11th.

http://www.chicagotr...0909-story.html

The thing that bothers me the most is I don't know what this means. In the premier league if a player comes back from injury he won't be match fit and certainly won't be a starter that same week.

Look at Daniel Sturridge for Liverpool. He is back from injury but won't be in the squad to face United this Saturday. So he won't take any part.

Jeffery has had a calf strain. We've all had one of those before, they can take up to 4 weeks to get over. So maybe he is physically fine. But that still leaves me with concerns over his fitness. If I do no exercise for 4 weeks then I won't be at peak condition after a few training sessions.

What's also confusing is the way the bears have been handling the situation. They've had a media black out concerning Jeffery so for all I know he's been keeping fit on the sly.

If he is the giants biggest threat then the Packers will obviously have tactics to prevent him from scoring. So what advantage do the bears get by hiding how fit Jeffery is?

[Brujah]

Dude, start Jeffrey every week unless they specifically say he won't be playing for sure. I'd start all 3 of your good WRs. Two starters and the other in flex.

The in game roster has an O next to him and a Q next to Cobb.

[Tattersail_]

It'd changed today.

P for Cobb
Q for Jeffery
O for Blount.

Probable, questionable and out.

That's why I'm focusing on Jeffery. I'm looking at daily news on him.

I would be interested, but have nothing of value unless you'd count Foster. Trading Ingram or Randle would make me play Flex value backs as regular ones and back-up WRs as Flex for the first half of the season.

I'm going to wait until after week 2 to make a decision on any trade offers. I'm hoping Brady can prove he's still worth a top 5 QB, which should settle a few worries at least.

As for Foster, if I knew for sure he'D only be out 4 games instead of a possible 6, it could be interesting perhaps. Looking at his projected points per week, it has him out for weeks 1 to 4, so 0 projected points, a bye on week 9, but week 10 also projects 0 points. I'm wondering what this is about.

That's juat the kind of thinking that lead to me spanking dat ass in last year's final match.

Oh, the one time wonder speaks again, and again, and again, and again. Me think doth protest too much.

I have the best team year in, year out. Playoffs are crap-shoots. If we didn't use them I'm 3 time returning champion. You got lucky because we let dumbasses like you into the playoffs.

Keep trying to trade Tom "I did nothing wrong! Brady". You did a great job of pretending you wanted him..... for a whole fucking week. No wonder you suck at Mafia.

[Tattersail_]

Can we keep all discussion regarding the NFL fantasy football league to this thread and not open any private messages? I'd like to see what people are proposing to each other. It all helps with my understanding of the game. The waiver wire is still something I'm getting used to. I've not understood it the last 3 years.

If I'm number 1 on the waiver wire and make a trade, I drop down to 12th. However, I don't think I pulled back up to number 1 for the rest of the season.

If I'm a lower number, is there still benefit for trying to grab someone?

Lastly, are you looking for a certain something when you go on there?

When did we go from making harmless jovial posts where we fuck with each other to shit like this.

At no point was I seriously fucking with you, but this has to be the most childish, crybaby post I've EVER seen from you HD, at least directed towards me.

But by your logic, the 2007 Patriots who went 16 - 0 during the regular season would be the 2007 Superbowl Champions. Unfortunately, the rules call for post season playoffs and the Giants ended up as Superbowl Champions by beating the Super duper bad ass regular season Patriots.

And unfortunately, the rules for Fantasy Football also call for playoffs. I didn't make the rules. I didn't even have a say in them, but you've been playing Fantasy 3 times as long as I have and should be quite aware of the rules that require a playoff.

As for your remark about "you only got lucky because we let dumbasses like you into the playoffs."

I'm not sure what you meant here because "we" had nothing to do with "letting" me in the playoffs. If you were trying to imply I barely made the playoffs by squeezing out a 6th place or something, then once again your ignorance is flashing in neon lights, because you and I both were 9 - 5 when the season ended. So no one 'let' me in. We ended the season with the same record, with me in 2nd place. And I researched players and defenses and put together a team that was just better than yours. You got beat by a fantasy rookie, deal with it.

No one cares what your teams success would be if you changed the rules. The ultimate goal is to win enough games to make the playoffs, then that's when your research from the whole season helps the most.

(Continued next post )

[Brujah]

Just because you decided to play a QB who's well over the average age of your average NFL QB and start him for the 16th game that season was just a bad play. The season had begun to wear him down and that game for Week 17 just wasn't a game you should have risked starting him, and you got your ass handed to you, and you are obviously having a hard time dealing with it because this is the first time that I can remember that you made a post to me where you acted like this.

You sound like a bitter, sore loser, and yes you're right, that was probably the only time I'll ever win the league, but I don't see how crying about it and the 'what ifs' if the rules were different.

You don't have to have the best record before playoffs to accomplish shit. In fact, once a playoff spot is secured, it would make more sense to test out some players either sitting on your bench, or grabbing someone from FA. Getting another win, unless you're trying to go from 3rd to 2nd to get the playoff bye, doesn't do or mean diddly squat. At least not by the rules that have been in place forever.

Quit trying to hold on to meaningless regular season records and try to actually win a playoff game.

But seriously, HD. That whole, "you suck at Mafia " crap was lame as hell and you know it. It made you sound like you were pitching a temper tantrum like my 5 year old nephews when one of them doesn't get his way. "Well, well, you're ugly."

Plus I hardly ever play Mafia anymore and never claimed to be any good at it. I'll be the first to admit I'm no good.

[Vengeance]

It doens't matter...

Because I am going to violate HD this week in the worst way possible. Just thinking about the beating that I am going to put down on you is getting me excited. I think I may have to go to the bathroom and pull my line up on my phone then masturbate to get it out of my system. That's right a line up masturbation. Oh it looks sooo goood. Jamaal Charles. Sam Bradford. Megatrrrooon.......



Now that you have that in your heads. Stop acting like bitches. Don't think that I can't get more detailed.

It's hard to believe you still don't fully understand the waiver wire, Tatts, but I'll try to help explain it a little more.

All the available players have an 'FA' beside them when they're considered free agents and you can make as many trades to and from there during the free agency period. This usually starts sometime early Wednesday morning for me (gmt-5) and lasts until the games begin on sunday (1 o'clock pm my time).

During this time beginning Sunday at 1 pm until sometime early Wednesday morning, all players not on someone's team are considered on waivers. And if you want one, for example let's say Jamaal Charles got hurt in Sundays game and will be out for the year, and nobody happened to already own his backup, Kniles Davis (although someone does own him but this is just an example ), then Kniles Davis would become a hot commodity. So people wanting him would issue a waiver claim, and if more than one issued a claim for him, the person with the lowest waiver wire number would get him, and be pushed down a few numbers, most likely to the end of the line.

That's the waiver wire in a nutshell. So since you have the first waiver pick, you can have first claims to the next player you see that you feel you need. It should be someone worth using your pick for.

And just because you pick a player, and go to the end of the line, as players ahead of you use their picks, you start making your way back towards the front again.

That's about all I feel you were unclear about, but don't be skerred to ask questions.

All in the same business Brujah. Frankly, I don't care one way or the other. But I do believe it was you spouting shit over and over. Still just fun for me, sorry I upset you so. I'll go back to ignoring you then.

I don't want you to ignore me. And I definitely don't mind shit talking, it's just that I felt I said or did something that elevated the normal atmosphere of goofy fun to serious malice. It just caught me off guard, but it's all good man. I apologize as well.
