    I played Blount last night. I think he's going to be a top 10 RB in standard leagues by the end of the year.

    I've benched Blount THREE games in a row. Lulz.

    hah! Belichick will laugh at you by season's end. He'll have some no name average joe running the ball with 6YPC in no time.

    Curious Moes... who are your other RBs? And would you have sat either Lamar Miller or Melvin Gordon to play Blount?

    I flexed in Blount because its a standard league and Moncrief and Watkins are out. Other RBs are Mathews, Henry, Bernard.

    I probably would not have played Blount over either of those guys.

    Thanks Moe. Really appreciate the response and advise provided by you and others. I've avoided playing FF for many years and while its fun its also stressful. Just the decision of "Hilton versus Tyrell Williams" is causing me stress... :eek:

    No, but they will always use the pass to set up the run. If they jump out to big leads they will pound Blount in the 2nd half. The only potential roadblock for Blount is if Lewis returns later on this season. By Week 10 I'm betting Blount will have at least 7 TDs.

    It's gotta be Benjamin, right? 2 great games so far. Undisputed #1 WR. Slightly behind him would be Sims. And who the heck is Burns?

    Yikes... another crushing loss, with Rivers, Lamar Miller, Gordon, Jordan Reed, Mike Wallace, TY Hilton, Vinatieri, and that sure bet D... MIA. And while Blount had a monster game, my bench has not much either.

    And then TY Hilton happened. Gordon at least had a TD. Rivers? 300 yards but no TDs. And somehow despite disappointing performances I eeked out a win. But getting rid of some garbage (Lockett, D. Allen) and hopefully getting a WR1 or WR2...

    Nice, plus playing Blount... you must have had a really high score. Now if you had the KC defense...

    The Jones owner sat him in our league (he started Green and Landry, and Diggs at Flex). I had planned to offer him Gordon or Blount plus another player. Guess that trade won't be happening now. LOL...

    I've got Hilton/A-Rob/C-Mike going against Jordy/KC/Blount in PPR. What a world.

    140ish I think, Big Ben & James White sh**#ed on me. But that James White call was ON ME.
