[mtgxerxes]

@235basketball I've actually been gone all day, I'm just now catching up on scores but I don't know how the games truly went.

Wow...... stunning the Saints like that? Nuts.

[KamonXx]

Inb4LIONSLOSE anyway, nice to hear your picks of the weekend + monday :P // Need more random vids >.>

[Rikuwalrus]

I don't play fantasy football but I like looking at these videos or your picks =D

[Kizzle274]

I have a lot of bye weeks, between Michael Crabtree, Eric Decker and Robert Meachem, who should i start?

[mtgxerxes]

@Kizzle274 Start Crabtree, and I guess Decker.....

The Saints 2-4 WR's are all kind of the same random crapshoot.

[deathbypigx3h]

You're gonna regret saying you don't care where the upset happens when the Broncos stun the Lions xD

Timmmmah!

[Papu1234]

No new BoF video today? :(

[Bolt892]

Football? Don't you mean Handegg?

[LiangSongy]

Same picks but I think the stealers will upset the Pats! Patriots need to work on there defended a lot but then again James Harrison is out for Pittsburgh hmmm

[Omniwrench95]

Do you have insider?

[mtgxerxes]

@Omniwrench95 I do not. I'd like to but alas it costs money and I like more to stay away from spending that.

[Omniwrench95]

@mtgxerxes Yeah I don't either.

[ShadowEmiko]

Seriously love this series

[TheMaykarLocomotive]

It's OK, sir- the Packers are in awful hands now. They pose no threat to you.

[icebergera]

should I start owen daniels or antonio gates as my tight end?

[mtgxerxes]

@icebergera Ooh thats tough. Prolly can't go wrong either way, just pick what you feel is safer. Good arguments for each side =/

I've typed this reply 7 times, and I keep convincing myself the other player is the better choice... I'm stuck right along with you man. Check the matchups and health...... and hope you flip the coin right.

[AlbinoBarnOwl]

Chris Johnson has been a huge disappointment for me this year. :/

[imthebest249]

Hey xerxes i got a question for ya. I need two receivers out of these three. Maclin, Nicks, and Nate Washington. Thanks :)

[mtgxerxes]

@imthebest249 Hakeem Nicks for sure. I'd prolly lean Maclin over Washington despite the tougher matchup.

[imthebest249]

@mtgxerxes Thanks man I appreciate the help.

[TheMaykarLocomotive]

@imthebest249 I say Nicks and Nate

[MrTehPotato]

Don't diss my Chiefs! Never!

[MrTehPotato]

Chargers my ass, CHIEFS. KC, MO ALL DAY BABY!! WOOT WOOT

[cdawgthemann]

best intro ever

[Dario8676]

I agree with all your nfl picks. It's pretty easy to pick this week and yeah there will probably be 1 or 2 upsets like every week but whatever

[pikminhero]

Why do people dislike ray Rice so much? Is it becuase he normally does very well (i know last monday certainley wasn't a display of it) but Of other RB like him (Maurice Jones-Drew, Micheal turner, ect) He seems to get the msot hate.

[gamerlols]

@pikminhero i dont think he gets that much hate and last game he really didnt get a chance with only like 8 carries the coach should be blamed for that

[AnAznPerson]

@mtgxerxes

Nah, no flex. We're doing it on Yahoo, just because.

Anyway, thanks for the input.

[235basketball]

@C0opSt3R A.J Green. No question. Foster might just do that as he's playing Jacksonville. He won me my game last week

[C0opSt3R]

should i start A.J green or knowshown for flex?? and foster with a big 40 last week lets see a repeat.

[235basketball]

@AnAznPerson Go with Matthews and Sproles.

[Alaror]

People need to give the Jags some more respect if you look at the scores all season. Our offense is just terrible but what can you expect with a rookie QB and no great WR. But if you look at the opp score its never too terribly high, even the Saints only got 23 points up. Yeah the Ravens offense isn't great, but I haven't heard one person say anything about Jacksonvilles defense that game. It's weird.... As far as Fantasy goes this week I have it in the bag so I have no real concerns

[mtgxerxes]

@Alaror I think people are starting to notice, but they just get no attention whatsoever and don't put up points to give 'em any highlights.

That was an incredible game vs Baltimore though. Wow.

[AnAznPerson]

I can only start 2 Rb's. Do i got with: Fred Jackson (vs. Skins), Chris Johnson (vs. Colts), Ryan Mathews (vs. Chiefs) or Darren Sproles (vs. Rams)

I'm leaning toward Sproles and Johnson

[mtgxerxes]

@AnAznPerson Fred Jackson has been tearing up everything all year, you absolutely start him, he's top-3 in just about every format ever.

I do see the dilemna though. Sproles and Mathews have been doing really well and have great matchups.

CJ has been worthless but its the best matchup he'll ever have... but they don't seem to even use him.

I don't think you can go wrong no matter what you do. Despite that, I'd prolly go for it with Fred/CJ I think. No flex in that league? Sproles would be my #3.

[235basketball]

@malkinroty2007 I'm leaning towards Aj green and Maclin but I couldn't sit Bowe. Very tough

[malkinroty2007]

@235basketball I don't know how I sit Bowe, either. Green has been a top-10 WR, Boldin has TD's in 2 straight and is playing his former team and Maclin is very quietly having a very solid year in Phily. It's a nice problem to have but I just know I'm gonna sit at least one guy that I shouldn't and I don't know if that's a mistake I can afford to make this week.

[235basketball]

Start any decent Saints players this week. Looks like another 60 point week. And I dropped Plaxico right before kickoff last week for Decker. who in he'll knew three TDs. But the yardage sucked for him same as every week.

[EmuMan1490]

Haha, I actually traded FOR Mendenhall this week because I had good receiver depth and needed help for Michael Turner (Bye) and Jahvid Best this week.

[malkinroty2007]

I'd go Ben over Eli this week. I think the Giants are going to run the ball a lot with Bradshaw playing so well in their last game and Jacobs likely being back. Not to mention they'll be up big early.

That RB situation with Moreno and Morris is ugly. Morris really didn't look good at all last week and the Broncos aren't as bad against the run as they were earlier in the year. I'd go Moreno there.

I also like the multiple shoutouts so I will show my appreciation by leaving multiple comments.

[NoName1325]

Lions will win by atleast 20 this week. Maybe a shut out.

[malkinroty2007]

Alright here it is. I'm playing the first place team and actually think I have a real good shot to win this week...if I start the right guys. There's no flex in this league so just 2 RB's and WR's.

At RB I'm definitely starting AP but for my #2 guy should I go with Pierre Thomas or Ryan Torain?

And at WR I need to start 2 of Dwayne Bowe, Anquan Boldin, Jeremy Maclin or AJ Green.

[mtgxerxes]

@malkinroty2007 Jesus Christ dude, that situation sucks. I guess I'd pick Torain over Thomas... Thomas you know isn't going to get anything outside of garbage touches or fluke TD impossible to predict, Torain at least has a chance to get picked by Shanahan.

[malkinroty2007]

@mtgxerxes I'm personally leaning towards Thomas especially since it looks like Ingram will be out and Sproles does most of his work as a receiver out of the backfield so he'll get a lot of touches in what should be a blowout. Torain is still really tempting though with the bad matchup and 1 less RB in the picture. But for all we know they'll sign a guy from the practice squad and throw him in the mix.

[plumbst]

i should've listened you and started sproles instead of battle...

murray was a pleasant surprise but my WR's SUCKED so bad i lost by ONE POINT (110-109) ARGHHHHHHHHHHH

ok end rant

anyway thankfully this week i have a pretty easy matchup

owen daniels or fred davis? nate washington, victor cruz, or demaryius thomas?

[mtgxerxes]

@plumbst I honestly didn't even know which team Murrary was on last week when people asked me, I was just all "Never heard of him, he's a scrub". Nobody would have expected even half of what he did, but had I known his team and matchup I woulda felt a lot better about that one. Thankfully Sproles did really well and gave you a shot..... gotta hate those 1 point losses eh? I know the feeling...

Owen Daniels, aaaand... hmm... Prolly Victor Cruz but I'm not sure who Nate is matched against.

[plumbst]

@mtgxerxes colts

[mtgxerxes]

@plumbst Hmm.... I think I'd still lean Cruz but it could really go either way... gunna have to be one of those gut feelings. Flip a coin and ask yourself what you like more on Sunday morning before games start.

[gamerlols]

@plumbst murray plays for the cowboys
