is Khalil Bell available on your waiver wire?
I like him a hell of a lot more than a Giants back. Other than that, I think you're starting the right players. |
In the money league, it's me vs. Coffey for a $330 payout.
My team: (Originally had Starks/Ingram, picked up Bell/Ball to cockblock Coffey or owners in the 3rd place game) http://i44.tinypic.com/iwksbq.jpg Coffey's team: http://i39.tinypic.com/292rbc8.jpg |

Or move Matthews to Flex and fill my RB spot with him. |
The guru (me) really, really, really likes Khalil Bell this week...and he likes him more than Beanie Wells.
Now do realize...the guru plays in PPR leagues so perhaps that is part of the infatuation, but I think Bell starts over Barber and gets Forte like touches...and I think Bell is one of those guys that shines with opportunity...he's young and hungry. The guru thinks Bell is going to win some championships for those with some guts to start him. The guru is definitely starting Bell in both his championship games, but the Guru also plays in leagues where you start 11 players instead of 8 or 9. The guru sticks by his thoughts that non OP leagues are dumb...but he also plays in leagues where you start 2 RB's, 3 WR's and a flex. But the guru is starting Bell over Beanie...(that's a bold prediction)...but DEFINITELY Bell over Bradshaw/Jacobs. and I'd keep Floyd at flex...this is a passing league and the sooner people realize that the sooner people will start realizing you don't need stud RB's to win fantasy leagues... I look at all these championship rosters and you know what I see? I see Calvin Johnson, Matthew Stafford, Drew Brees, Rob Gronkowski, Darren Sproles, Cam Newton, Tom Brady, Jimmy Graham, etc... I do not see Adrian Peterson, MJD, Jamaal Charles, Chris Johnson, etc... (Congrats to McCoy owners you picked the ONE elite RB that could possibly win a league this year) |
The guru leads both his money leagues in points scored (and they are deep, OP leagues with 3 WR spots, 2 RB spots and a RB/WR spot) without a single RB worth mentioning.
The RB's on my 12 team league in the first league are Roy Helu, Marion Barber, Khalil Bell, Donald Brown, Kendall Hunter and Evan Royster. The RB's on my 12 team league in the second league are Felix Jones, Beanie Wells, Khalil Bell, Toby Gerhart, and DeMarco Murray. It's a BIT different in standard leagues but the guru sticks by his guns and SWEARS Adrian Peterson does not win FFL leagues, the best he does is he won't necessarily lose them, but the last two years Adrian Peterson owners have not won fantasy football leagues. Either have CJ owners. Either have MJD owners. Jamaal Charles owners were ****ed from the get go. STOP DRAFTING RB'S PEOPLE! You want Aaron Rodgers, Calvin Johnson...you want the DEFINITES... I mean...Khalil Bell this week is projected to be a top 10 fantasy RB... Who? Draft a stud QB, get a few stud WR's, land that stud TE...and then get sleeper RB's and if they don't work out pick up the Helu's, Murray's, Gerhart's, Bell's, etc... along the way. The guru pleads with anyone who wants to be a fantasy winner to STOP TAKING ADRIAN PETERSON IN THE 1ST ROUND. Now the guru messed up and had Vick as his #1 fantasy player this year... but the Guru is still #1 in his league and #1 in points because, although he had Vick, he also had Stafford...and Gronkowski...and he made some guru like pickups along the way (hello DeMarco Murray! and my Felix Jones insurance!) |
and in case you doubt the Guru or don't believe his leagues are competitive, here are the links to the guru's championship FFL leagues:
http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/clubhou...96578&teamId=1 http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/clubhou...&seasonId=2011 |
but the guru will remind you...
Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Stafford, Jimmy Graham, Rob Gronkowski, Wes Welker, Calvin Johnson, LeSean McCoy... those guys won FFL leagues this year...and only 1 is a RB (MJD is good too but whatever, blah) the key is getting a QB who passes for a shit ton of TD's...and if you can't get that QB get all of his receivers... Dez and Laurent score TD's...fantasy is all about TD's... Welker? Gronkowski? Brady's boys. Jennings, Nelson? Rodgers guys... Graham? Moore? Colston (blah)? Sproles? the key to winning FFL now is a stud QB (Brees, Rodgers, Brady, Romo, Stafford) and then drafting the 10 guys that are associated with those QB's...and spot playing good defensive matchups (Seattle the last few weeks)... and you'll win every year... and then just piece together RB's like Helu, Murray, Bell, etc...since half of the RB's get hurt every year...there is always a fantasy stud lurking that we've never heard of before the season starts. |
I can't decide if I want to be the guru or if I've graduated myself to the juggernaut...I'll get back to you.

I have a rag tag team and it is a success for me just to reach the final game. Going against Brees so I am going to need some luck.
My bench includes Josh Freeman, Brandon Marshall, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Victor Cruz, so I have the option of plugging any of them in. ME: QB Eli Manning RB Chris Johnson RB LeGarrette Blount RB/WR Marshawn Lynch WR Megatron WR Marques Colston TE Jason Witten D/ST 49ers K Neil Rackers HIM: QB Drew Brees RB Ray Rice RB Marion Barber RB/WR Marshawn Lynch WR Nate Washington WR Stevie Johnson TE Owen Daniels D/ST Packers K Dan Bailey |

I had to beat Brees last round to make the finals but here's my line-up. My RB line-up is completely up in the air because of all the Questionable tags I've got right now. Also considering another receiver over Nicks since he's facing Revis. Hard to make that swap though.
QB Michael Vick, Phi QB RB Maurice Jones-Drew, Jac RB RB Roy Helu, Wsh RB RB/WR Shonn Greene, NYJ RB WR Mike Wallace, Pit WR WR Hakeem Nicks, NYG WR TE Aaron Hernandez, NE TE D/ST 49ers D/ST D/ST K Jason Hanson, Det K BENCH Bench Beanie Wells, Ari RB Bench Julio Jones, Atl WR Bench Mike Williams, TB WR Bench Rex Grossman, Wsh QB Bench Demaryius Thomas, Den WR Bench Kahlil Bell, Chi RB Bench Jamie Harper, Ten RB IR Jamaal Charles*, KC RB My opponent has Chris Johnson so I just grabbed Harper in case Johnson has to sit. My opponent's line-up. QB Matthew Stafford, Det QB RB Chris Johnson, Ten RB RB Arian Foster, Hou RB RB/WR Victor Cruz, NYG WR WR Calvin Johnson, Det WR WR Larry Fitzgerald, Ari WR TE Tony Gonzalez, Atl TE D/ST Bears D/ST D/ST K Matt Prater, Den K BENCH Bench BenJarvus Green-Ellis, NE RB Bench Pierre Garcon, Ind WR Bench Ben Tate, Hou RB P Bench John Kasay, NO K Bench Bengals D/ST D/ST Bench Steve Breaston, KC WR Bench Matt Bryant, Atl K IR Fred Jackson*, Buf RB IR |
