Can I win With my Week 2 "Sleeper" team?

Birdmandig · 09-13-2014, 05:15 PM

10 team/$30 Buy-in/$270 1st/2nd $30

With AP out, Brady o-line is swiss cheese, and Allen faces Hawks

Here Is what Im rolling out

QB:Jake Locker
RB: Gio Benard
RB: Shane Vereen
WR: Antonio Brown (10 pts.)
WR: Allen Hurns
TE: Vernon Davis
Flex: Carlos Hyde
K: Matt Bryant
D/ST: Pats

Bench

Peterson RB
Brady QB
Allen WR
Evans WR
Williams, T. WR
Miller RB
Gordon WR

Im playing the match up's, All this AP and Gordon news has go me flustered....no homo..Opinions?

Sitting Brady?

Gbulldogs1010 · 09-13-2014, 05:24 PM

Not with the lineup you have in now

packa7x · 09-13-2014, 05:28 PM

I like the benching Brady idea. Locker played very well last week. I'm not sure starting Hyde is a good idea though. Terrance Williams is a much better start. I'm also not a big fan of Vernon Davis, though his performance last week doesn't exactly justify my stance.

ninjacookies · 09-13-2014, 05:33 PM

Going with Hyde you're going to totally entrust that the niners will give him the goalline carries, as he's going to be a fantasy dud without any td's. After they did Gore dirty last week with the Hyde vulture td, I don't see it happening this week again.

The rest...looks like you're doing what you can with the team you have. Hurns is a chip shot...but I typically don't like to put all my eggs into one basket on a week 1 fantasy 'nobody to star.' Especially if they're playing on a team like jaxonville with henne at the helm.

Good luck, though. I won my league's overall week 1 prize with the worst draft grade and arguably a worse lineup with some sleeper picks. Any given sunday.

Birdmandig · 09-13-2014, 05:36 PM

I know, I know benching Brady is what I thought but then you must look deeper..

What kills me is people calling Vernon Davis "Touch Down dependent" isn't that any tight end?

I dont trust Romo enough to start Williams...Hyde is my only real ? atm but the match up is right and Sunday night at the new house he could put up 10+ fantasy points..

Birdmandig · 09-13-2014, 05:43 PM

I did some research on Hurns

1) has old OC when at Miami
2) did lead league in preseason yards
3) Henne is being asked to take more down field chances said coaching staff
4) When Bortlyes comes in sooner than later they had nice chemistry in preseason
5) Cecil shorts will be out and the rest of the bunch is hit or miss
6) QBs liked what they saw in camp, which translated to preseason which translated to week 1..
7) Hurns is more talented than Ogletree and has a better atmosphere to thrive
8) Keenan Allen Plays LOB

Still dont know what to do with Hyde, but as stated above im doing what I can, I edged out a win in week 1, hope the trend cont'...

Why the hell did you need to throw a "no homo" in there after you said flustered

What are you 12

Yes, yes I am. You should work at the state fair.

Thank you for your contribution.

bradsholly · 09-13-2014, 09:06 PM

Even though romo is romo, I'd still play twill over hyde

addicted36 · 09-13-2014, 09:31 PM

I would play Twill over that other guy from Jacksonville. Henne is in for a long day. think twill is the better play this week and will score more otherwise I like it. Hyde is not a bad gamble but there is a flaw in that team and a dead roster spot there no. If your in a ppr your in good shape but that roster is messed up, Gordon and AP? Trade Gordon you cant have two weights like that. If it a ppr It could be a lot worse. Who you playing against?

LOL in my defense AP just became a "weight" yesterday, and Surely if I drop Gordon he will be picked up..

Obviously if AP was not beating kids I would bench Hyde and flex Vereen but I am in dire straits..

WW is crap: Ridley, Hill, Robinson, G. Jennings, etc..

My opponent:

QB Luck
RB Morris
RB Sproles
WR Thomas
WR Green
FLEX Patterson
TE Gresham
K Dawson
D/ST 49ers

Im hoping his WR dont go off...and Locker can combat Luck's MNF totals..sigh..

addicted36 · 09-13-2014, 10:53 PM

Thanks your in good shape, I am confused why your playing Horns though? I like Twill more

Birdmandig · 09-13-2014, 10:57 PM

Touch matchup for the Cowboys as Tennessee's secondary is very good. That factor brings down Williams fantasy value.

The Skins D is rusty!

addicted36 · 09-13-2014, 11:19 PM

Yea maybe I am being a homer lol. Best of luck

Birdmandig · 09-13-2014, 11:26 PM

Thanks for bantering with me and not shunning my thread to the fantasy football section..

Hope I can go 2-0!

cashout · 09-13-2014, 11:55 PM

Hurns was a one time deal...

Unfortunately, now the Skins O is rusty too.

tolrobb · 09-14-2014, 01:00 AM

PS, don't play Hyde dummy. Why not Evans? He's a giant and the Rams DB's are midgets.

benshobbies · 09-14-2014, 06:15 AM

I question the whole Pats D thing.

If you watched highlights of the Phins game, the Phins walked all over their defense.

I think it'd be better starting Brady. He is a fighter & he's out to prove himself. I'd say he gets 300+ yards this game.

bkovach06 · 09-14-2014, 06:17 AM

Not sure on Hyde, would rather go evans or williams

Insidespica · 09-14-2014, 09:48 AM

where are the sleepers ?

tolrobb · 09-14-2014, 06:58 PM

are you winning? I must know, the anticipation is killing me!
