-Stafford owners- (1 Viewer)

[Redwes25]

Hoping for a full season to see what he can do.. Have him in two dynasties and have tried a few standard redrafts this year.. This will be the last year to get him late in redrafts..Anybody all in with Staff and CalvinJ? Was able to double down in two redrafts...

He is my number 1 qb in all three of my leagues and have the combo in two leagues.

 

[24seven]

Drafted him as my number 1 in six redraft leagues and backed him up with S.Hill in each one. No matter what the hype is about Detroit, you have to love the lions offense. They have soooooo many weapons. Bottom line.

 

[faulkfan]

I don't own him in any league that matters, but I really hope for his sake and the Lions sake that he stays healthy because Detroit is fun to watch when he is on the field.

 

[phillybirds]

Best pick I made in my draft.

He's balancing out my poor decisions.

 

[brownsfan01]

If he and Megatron say healthy, YES!

 

[Novice2]

Yawn

Yawn

This made me actually

Is anyone contemplating selling? Most Stafford owners probably weren't completely "all in" on him this season, and likely have another QB in tow.

After these first two performances he'd likely bring at least a WR2 or RB2 in return, especially if the team is in dire need of a QB.

I'd consider selling if you're other QB is Rodgers, Brady, Brees, or Rivers. I wouldn't trade him if you've got a B Roeth/Matt Ryan type backing him up. If I was going to shop him, I'd need to get another stud in return or no deal. The writing is on the wall this year and you will not win your league without elite QB production. I'd hate to leave myself exposed with no legit backup only to see my season sink when my QB goes down. I've got him on a couple teams, but there's no way I'm selling because QBs just don't seem to have much trade value. Maybe that will change this year, but historically stud QBs have been valued around WR2s or RB3s in my leagues.

Horrible first half for Stafford. Did he forget to eat his Wheaties this morning?

He did the same thing last week too, and then blew it up in the second half....I dont see that happening this week.

MNF next week vs Da Bears with a chance for the Lions to go to, what, 5-0?

 

[flapgreen]

Boo yah!!!

so did anyone watch the game yesturday? That first half "on paper" looked really really bad for him. SHould we be selling high?

I'm not selling. Stafford is a stud in a high-powered offense with the best WR in the game.

I'm trying to sell in dynasty only because I have Newton as well, and I keep hating myself for sitting him in favor of my Stafford-to-Calvin connection. I'm shopping him for an undervalued, lesser QB and an upgrade at RB, I think.

Stafford is a much better QB then Newton, if you have Calvin why not shop Newton?

To be truthful, I'm shopping both and plan on selling whoever brings the most from the highest bidder, if the price is right. I'm fine keeping both as well.But I will say that I can see the argument for keeping Newton over Stafford very easily. If I had my choice, and someone was willing to offer the same desirable package for Newton or Stafford, it would be close. In the end, I think I'd keep Newton, and trade Stafford, because I like taking risks and going for the boom-or-bust play at QB...Hell, I drafted Stafford and Newton as my only QB's in this start-up dynasty in July, because I believed in Stafford so much. But, mostly because Newton's floor any given week, even when he has a dreadful passing game, is an acceptable average week for most QB's, I think he's the more valuable commodity for my team, and any team, in dynasty right now.

Stafford is from the Dallas area and may have had a case of the nerves playing in front of friends and family - he rented a suite for them. He played his high school football for Highland Park. The same city Jerry Jones and all the local rich folks live in.

 

[massraider]

No, we should be enjoying the ride. This team runs less than the Eagles, and he has the best WR in the game, a great #2 in Burleson, two nice TEs, and a back that can take a swing pass to the house. And he plays in a dome. If you put together a dream fantasy QB scenario, it would look a lot like Stafford's. I get that the two shoulder injuries made people wary, but man, he is headed for top 3 status, fantasy wise. You home those players.

Drafted Stafford 2 years ago as a backup for Rivers. I'm one happy man right now.

If I was going to shop him, I'd need to get another stud in return or no deal. The writing is on the wall this year and you will not win your league without elite QB production.

Maybe that will change this year, but historically stud QBs have been valued around WR2s or RB3s in my leagues.

At 1-3 with Brees at QB and my TE situation in shambles due to Peyton's neck, I packaged Stafford in a 3-for-3 trade for Finley. On the whole I'm sure I gave value and upside in the trade but Stafford has been lighting it up on my bench while the TE spot has been a black hole in my roster. I also think there's a chance Stafford comes down to earth a little bit.

 

[sjdogs]

I just traded stafford and harvin for eli and nicks. I own calvin so its rough but i love nicks and the trade is fair and i will still benefit with mega

 

[joffer]

i'm worried that he's really been taking a pounding. the Lions' OTs are just not very good.

Who else was in the trade? I don't have any problem with trading Stafford if you've also got Brees to start at QB. I don't think too much of this: "there's a chance Stafford comes down to earth a little bit." Any player from Brady to Brees to Fitzpatrick could see a drop in production, but I don't see any reason to predict it for Stafford aside from injury. As the poster above outlined, the situation is PERFECT for Stafford to continue putting up elite numbers. As a matter of fact, I think he's going to start scoring even more points on a week to week basis. Finley is an interesting trade target for Stafford. He's obviously a stud talent with a top QB, but he's got 3 mediocre games and 1 great game. From a fantasy perspective, he reminds me of Greg Olsen with a higher ceiling in any given week. I'd feel more comfortable trading stafford for a WR or RB, but you did get a stud in return, so you didn't do too bad.

in redraft, had a choice of fred jackson for cam or chris johnson for stafford. i shipped stafford out.in dynasty, i have cam. i wouldn't trade him for stafford straight up. stafford may be a better IRL qb, but i don't think he's the better FF qb.

The actual trade was Stafford/Hightower/Hernandez for Finley/Meachem/Orton. Meachem has some added value for me as a Colston owner. I think his side of the deal has more upside with Hernandez but that guy is still a question mark for me. As a Packers fan I'm high on Finley, the CHI game was no fluke, and after what the Packers last week I doubt any team is going to try to take Finley out the game the way Denver did. I feel Finley is pretty much a lock for 1000 yards and 10 TDs.As far as Stafford's production, thus far he has faced average-to-below-average defenses. Not saying he is going to start tanking it left and right but I see him finishing more like QB8 or so. (Sitting at QB5 ATM)

 

[Hanz]

I see there are some Newton/Stafford owners here; which one are you guys starting this week? I'm leaning towards Cam.

I don't see the 2000 Ravens on the horizon:ChicagoSan FranAtlantaDenverChicagoCarolinaGreen BayNew OrleansMinnesotaOaklandSan Diego8 dome games in there. Which of those games you think I should bench him? The Bears are probably the best defense he is going play all year. Even the Packers game, in Green Bay?? It's Week 17. Not an issue. I didn't really look at his schedule till you brought up the weak schedule he has supposedly played this year, I am glad I did. He might have just completed the toughest part of his schedule!!! Three out of 4 games on the road, TB, MIN, and DAL to begin the year.

Didn't say anything about benching him. I said QB8 or so. That's an every-week starter. So when the dust settles I see him landing behind Rodgers, Brady, Brees, Rivers, Vick, Cam and perhaps Romo or Fitz, in no particular order. I could be wrong. I do agree the schedule sets up nicely for him.

 

[Air Stich]

According to the Strength of Schedule tool on FBG, Detroit has one of the easiest remaining schedules for QBs.

I like Finley. His 3 TD game was a little flukey because receivers RARELY catch 3 TDs in a game, but I agree he's a stud. I don't agree that he's an uber-elite fantasy player and I don't agree that Stafford has been playing over his head. He's going to continue throwing a lot of TDs this year.

We'll see how things play out, but it looks like you gave up a lot of value for Finley and two guys who could be on the wire in 3 weeks.

 

[Hendo]

I actually trade away Brees this year in my dynasty league as I have seen enough of him to believe he's a top 5 guy going forward this year and long term. I ended up netting Eli as his back up and Ryan Mathews so if he does what he's capable of then sky is the limit.

 

[Topes]

No.
