FINAL Fantasy Football Forum - FFFF Week 13 + NFL Picks

[eggiex1]

3 people expected this to be related to Final Fantasy... :(

[mtgxerxes]

@eggiex1 Lol no, more than that.... all year long, which is why I went with the title as I did. Sorry about that.

If it makes you feel any better, I DO have 2 real FF videos up on my channel. One is of Final Fantasy Tactics, the Wiegraf/Velius fight, and the other is the FF3 (DS) Final Boss battle.

[eggiex1]

@mtgxerxes Hah hah, it's OK, I was just kidding. I know very little about Football and very little about the whole "Fantasy Football" thing, but I do know there are some game marathon "competitions" (not really competitions though) and the first time I saw the title, I thought it might have been related. i.e. instead of guessing what teams would win, etc. You guess how long the player will take to beat the game in the marathon, etc. :p Still catching up on your Breath of Fire LP!

[moomoocowman13]

for flex darrius heyward-bey vs gb or gaffney vs ne. i like both matchups but with jacoby ford and denarius mooore injured i feel heyward bey would be better especially if packers dominate early and raiders need to pass to catch up

[mtgxerxes]

@moomoocowman13 I'd go Heyward-Bey as well.

Someone in my league that didn't make the playoffs dropped all their players so I just picked up Lesean McCoy for free. FUCK YEA. He also dropped AP but I'll let someone else run to snag him. You probably wondering " why is he out of the playoffs if he had McCoy and Peterson?" because the rest of his team was terrible.

[TheJaybird16]

Congrats on your 1st year at playing FF, love your videos, will you do something like this next season?

[KooperKoushiro]

At long last, my mis-saying "Final Fantasy Football Forum" is NOT wrong!

-Kooper, observing FF vids in the related videos sidebar, but NO football ones sans other FFFF vids.

[TheArtofStallWar]

Xerxes you are a boss!

[05sn]

lol your name is lionel?

[Dario8676]

Looks like both my team and yours are falling apart lol

[Omniwrench95]

Palmer or Vince Young at QB?

[mtgxerxes]

@Omniwrench95 Ya know..... I'd prolly go Vince Young. McCoy ain't gunna do much running even if he starts, and running QBs are better at putting up points (Vick, Newton, Tebow) even if they have a bad performance.

[Omniwrench95]

@mtgxerxes Thanks. Sorry to see this is the last one of QUAD F; appreciate that you will still answer Q's until the end of the (fantasy) season!

[mtgxerxes]

@Omniwrench95 Wow... I don't think anyone expected a game like this... if you started Young because I expected he'd have been better than Palmer, I couldn't feel worse about it.

Hopefully it isn't costing you a playoff spot...

[Omniwrench95]

@mtgxerxes Its alright. Don't blame yourself, in the end I make the decision to start him. Don't feel guilty at all. I'm 8-4 right now and I'm leading my division. If I win this week I get a BYE, so no, if I lose i'll be alright. But I appreciate the response.

[Omniwrench95]

@mtgxerxes Plus, one more thing to note, my league is a bit different, I start: 2 QBs, 3 RBs, 4 WRs, 1 TE, 2 D/ST, 1 K. So I can make up for it.

[235basketball]

I'm locked in at second with 10-2 and the guy in first is 11-1 and the guy behind me is 8-4 so definitely got first or second

[lrn2Chongo]

Always *that* guy aren't I? lol. You honestly have the best team to this point, how I've run up to 1st place I have no idea. Eagles DST pick up doesn't make loads of sense to me TBH.

[mtgxerxes]

@lrn2Chongo On paper I have the best team, but clearly paper isn't worth a darn as I can't win a game anymore. McCoy sucks. Forte sucks. Ben sucks. Finley sucks. Marshall sucks. They all suck.

Why you not like Eagles D? They play some pretty big noobs left in the season. You don't have to like every week, but just 1-2 starting-worthy games and a D at this point is worth picking up.

Considering I dropped MIKE THOMAS for them, I'm not exactly losing out on a roster spot.

[malkinroty2007]

Glad to hear you're having fun with fantasy football. Maybe next year we can have TPXFFL2 or perhaps get a keeper league going with some people from the xat.

I got a RB question I wanted to run by you. With AP not at 100% I need to start Toby Gerhart, Pierre Thomas or James Starks.

[mtgxerxes]

@malkinroty2007 I feel like Thomas should be best.... but just based on all the weapons NO has, he could very easily get 3 touches while Sproles/Ingram get all the love. Likewise with any GB running back, you should know they're not starting safe. Gerhart..... well.... at least you konw he'll get touches, but his quality expectations would certainly be lower. 5-15 for Gerhart, 2-19 for Thomas.

[moomoocowman13]

for flex i have LT gaffney and jerome simpson, should i pick up jason avant off waivers who probably wont have as big a game, but with maclin injured and jackson drama might be their best reciever

[malkinroty2007]

@moomoocowman13 Avant or Riley Cooper should be a fine plugin this week.

[LiangSongy]

Last FFFF ? :((((((((

FUUUUUUUUUU

[chronicallyconfused2]

even if McCoy plays he's not going to do great

[scsrhino]

All E. Decker does is score TDs...

Set my lineup!

QBs: Romo/Tebow

WRs: S.Smith (CAR), V.Jax, S.Moss, J.Mac, E. Decker

RBs: MJD, M. Bush, Murray, R. Mathews

TE: Set @ Finley

K: Set @ Bailey (DAL)

DEF: DEN/PITT

[mtgxerxes]

@scsrhino Romo, Smith, VJax, MJD, Bush, Murray....Defense is your call.

[TheMaykarLocomotive]

@scsrhino

QB: Romo

WRs: Smith, Decker

RBs: MJD, Murray, Mathews

Def: Pitt

[NoName1325]

I like the Raiders too because Carson is the next Rich Gannon there.

[Alaror]

I had Schaub get injured then Leinart after him I picked up little timmy tebow reluctantly and swore that if I win the league with him I will buy his jersey and wear it out all the time. Im not looking too likely to win the playoffs, but I am in 4th right now and only one person can take that from me, But even then I have to lose my next two games and they have to win their next 2.

[TheMaykarLocomotive]

NO INTRO. WEAK ENDING :(

But how do I know who to start at QB next week??!!??

[TheMaykarLocomotive]

@TheMaykarLocomotive Don't be so quick to take the Ravens. They're coming off of a huge win, as they were vs the Seahawks, and they've lost to some terrible teams.

Also, I  actually have an actual question. I have MJD (vs San Diego), Stewart (vs the Bucs), Marshawn Lynch (vs the Eagles), and Legarette Blount (vs the Panthers). I'm starting MJD, Lynch, and Blount as of now, but Blount has been terrible this year, and Stewart has been surprisingly decent.

[moomoocowman13]

@TheMaykarLocomotive I'd keep blount this week because hes against panthers def which gave the most to rbs this season, and im not sure if stewart will get as many touches with williams having 2 tds last week

[malkinroty2007]

@TheMaykarLocomotive Carolina's defense has a way of making average players look like superstars. (see: Kevin Smith). I do like Stewart this week since his matchup is pretty good as well but it's hard to play him over any of those guys.

[SteelerEagleFan]

I refuse to say the "f" word
