I also benched him for Hilton! Who could see Rivers having a good game? That was his best game of the year. I'll probably win this week due to the browns def but very annoying to make the wrong choice.
Honestly, it wasn't as much Rivers great game as the putrid play of Roethlisberger/Steelers O. It may not look that way in the final box score, but they repeatedly did nothing on O and the Chargers got great field position. I think the Steelers D got a bit worn out because they were out there so much and backed up against the wall. The Chargers were up 27-3 until 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. In the Steelers 1st half, the only drive that got anything was right at halftime where they kicked a FG with no time left in the half. The other drives totalled 56 yards. 6 of those 7 awful drives were 3 and out or 4 and out. The Chargers scored 13 in the first half, but started 4 of 7 drives in Pitt territory and really only had one good drive, but even then 39 of the 48 yards were on the one TD pass. The longest other drive was a 12 play 36 yard drive to kick a 51 yard FG.
Danario was great, but I think if the Steeler O did anything in the first half, he may not have had a great game. DX's second TD was because SD started that drive on the Pitt 17. Anyway, not trying to rain on any parades. I had a chance to pick him up in a couple leagues and waited one game too long, but I just wanted to give out some info just so you know that he manhandled Pitt with quite a bit of help from Roethlisberger.
I'm confused. So Danario didn't make two great plays that resulted TDs? What am I reading here?
Did I ever say he didn't have a great game? In fact my "Danario was great" comment seems to say that. Part of the nice thing about this forum is people trying to give people more info than what is in the box score. Danario score twiced. Did you know that both drives started in Pittsburgh territory and one of them started at the Pitt 17 right after the defense got off the field? I'm just trying to be helpful and paint a whole picture that Pittsburgh's offense was so bad in the first half that they did nothing to help their defense. If this wasn't Roethlisberger's first week back and he plays like he did late in the game, I am not sure that Danario has a fantastic stat line if SD has to drive the length of the field a few times. Just trying to be helpful.
Not to get on a soap box, but this is what is wrong with the forums nowadays. Too much crap that people think you have to be an ### to look cool. I've been on this forum for a while and it sucks when you can't add perspective on a game without sarchastic comments that add nothing to the discussion.
Absolutely agree. This forum used to be about sharing insightful opinions in a friendly manner now it's about Internet tough guy trying to one up next internet tough guy. Sad.
You all need hugs. So sensitive.Sorry if I overreacted to your message. It just seemed like you were downgrading him as if the two touchdowns had more to do with other factors than it did with. Not many receivers could have made that second catch. That's gotta do something for his fantasy prospect going forward (which is why most of us are here), right? No one's coming here saying he's good for 20+ points a game. So who cares about the reasons he scored his TDs? We got the points, so we're good, and hopefully moving on to Week 15. Now if he had 3 catches for 30 yards and two TDs (James Jones esque) in those circumstances, then maybe you have a point.
You were responding to a post about Phillip Rivers having a great game, and then somehow used that to diminish Danario. He still had to make two great plays. Even without one of the TDs, it's still 14 points. Without both of the TDs, it's still 8 points. In the latter case, you would also have to factor (since we're doing what ifs) in the possibility of more yardage due to longer field position and more throwing, since the Chargers wouldn't have built such a big lead without his TDs. So maybe we're talking about a 100+ yard game with potential for a TD on a long drive. He had 100+ yards with no TD against a lesser defense and people were STILL coming here saying he's a beast, so nothing would have changed in that regard. Also, did you know that one of Danario's touchdowns happened right after the Chargers offense got off the field? (works both ways).
Danario puts up these numbers in a Chargers blowout (over the Steelers), it's because Pittsburgh had a bad game. Danario put up these numbers in a Steelers blowout (over the Chargers) it would be because of garbage time. What difference does it really make?
what's your point here? That roster isn't unfathomable in dynasty. 1/2/3/1 is a pretty common lineup. I'm probably benching Witten (vs. Steelers) for him (vs. Panthers) next week. Week 16 if we make it there will be very tough. One of DA (Jets, SNF), VJax (Rams), Witten (Saints), or Gonzo (Lions, Saturday night) will have to be on the bench.
If only I could've traded one of those guys before the deadline for an RB worth anything. That said, I'm glad to have him because our stupid league plays week 17 finals (despite heavy complaints), and I imagine Marshall and DT will have the week off.
Now Dez and Shorts might be out and Cobb is playing the Bears. Lesson learned. Even if you do not think you need a guy, pick him up if you think the value is there.
I started Ray Rice , Jamaal Charles ,Alexander,Victor Cruz & Demaryius Thomas with Kaepernik & Hernandez still to go
