The Goat Pen

Fantasy Football Query: Garrett Graham (TE-Hou) or Michael Floyd (Ari).

I have Jimmy Graham but he'll be on bye in two weeks. Owen Daniels is out 6 weeks. My current WR's are: will not drop the other WR's (cost $5 every time I drop someone), so I can only pick up Graham or Floyd for Mason Crosby
Marlon Brown - BAL (IR so can't drop)
Michael Floyd - ARI
Alshon Jeffery - CHI
Stevie Johnson - BUF (IR so can't drop)
Jeremy Kerley - NYJ
Emmanuel Sanders - PIT
Wes Welker - DEN
Terrance Williams - DAL

Find out whoever has a decent QB and is playing an NFC East team during Jimmy's bye week. Pick up a starting receiver for that team and pick them up. That's a solid rule of thumb.

I'll need a TE in 2 weeks when Graham, Brees and Pierre Thomas are on bye (my back-up is Newton, so I'll be okay there). Trying to decide whether to pick up a TE now to stash for 2 weeks are is Michael Floyd too good to pass up this week

Rat is looking for a tight end, too...

I'm not a big fan of Newton this year for big points. Who do they play in Week 9? Arizona has Atlanta, so yeah, pick up Floyd. The Jags and Giants are off that week, too...plus I'm sure Gates has already been picked up (he'll have a big week). So, Floyd looks like the best play at TE.

Week 7, Cam Newton plays STL. (only week I'll play him as long as Brees doesn't get hurt). Floyd is a WR. Graham is the TE.

I thought he was a TE. My bad. He's not a bad Flex, I guess.

I'm now trying to get Hugh Douglas ATL, since Julio Jones is out for the year and Roddy White is still hurt.

Atlanta cost me in my survivor pool which has a payout of around 7k. Fuck them in the ass. I hope they don't win another game this year, I hope Tony Gonzalez blows out both ACLs on the same play, I hope Matt Ryan gets crabs, and the NFL forces them to go back to those god awful red uniforms they use to wear. Can't beat a gd rookie QB at HOME on Monday Night that plays for the Jets. Get that nonsense outta here.

Yeah, the Atlanta bet killed my Trading Ops Manager in the Survivor Pool. I told him to leave the Jets alone. He didn't listen. Fatal flaw.

Eli Manning has wiped out some survivor pools

Harry Douglas is a great pickup if you can get him.

Floyd over the Houston TE. Schaub is a mess.

Former UNC star Darian Durant makes good...

"Durant has a tattoo on his left biceps reading "Against all odds – I'm gonna shine", which Durant believes explains his life.[11] In conjunction with a local Ford dealer, and to commemorate the Roughriders' 100th anniversary, Durant lent his name to a limited edition Ford F-150 truck that was sold in Regina. The Durant limited edition featured a Durant license plate, his DD4 logo, Roughriders mud flaps and embossed head rests. There are only four of the trucks available, and $500 from the sale of each truck goes to support Durant's charity of choice, KidSport."

what's the standings in the goatpen league?

I bet they have three too many.

Good chance that will end up with 4 current Top 10 unbeatens. Very unlikely that Louisville or Ohio State will lose the rest of the year. Alabama only faces LSU and that's at home, Oregon will have to beat Stanford on the road and UCLA next week at home. I trust that Clemson and Florida State will blow it sometime this year.

Even if Alabama loses to LSU at home, would you take a one-loss SEC team over Louisville, Ohio State?

Alabama faces LSU, and Auburn is quietly turning into a good team - if we win both (and don't trip up against Arkie, Tennessee, or MissState), will face the SEC-East Champion in ATL.

That said, I know a one-loss Bama would not get in over an undefeated Ohio State, and probably not over an unbeaten Louisville team.
