LikeDislike Ride-or-die with Cordarrelle Patterson

What we are talking about:Ryan, BreesPoints! Nothing but points!Jimmy GrahamYour 2014 MVPJohn CenaPrepare yourself; he's winningWe are going to ride or die, . It seems that no matter how many leagues you do, there is always one player who will remain a constant among all of your rosters. My guy is .I don't have one single, solitary dupe in my quarterback ranks. I've got everybody from to to to to on down. But my one guy on each and every team is Patterson.Even when it wasn't prudent to take Patterson, I still did it anyway. For instance, I drafted Patterson in the League of Record, even though I already had on the roster and I don't really fancy the idea of doubling-down on a team. Especially a team quarterbacked by .Funny story about that, however. We conducted the draft for the LoR on Wednesday night before the season started. Just about the last po sible moment, which was good news when you consider players are being suspended right up to this very moment. Well, not this one, but you get the gist. I had the fourth pick in the draft and I ended up with Peterson, which might be a surprise to some of you.I mean, that would be like being in a draft for the gals of NBC and figuring you were going to land Gillian Jacobs with the fourth-pick, except Alison Brie landed there any way. I mean, most people would be excited for you and can't believe the luck that you landed Brie, even though you kind of favored the underrated Jacobs anyway. (She was the bomb in "" right?So that was my deal, I ended up with Peterson and I gue s I'm kind of happy. has overseen some of the best rushing seasons of prolific NFL running backs, so why not? But the point is that even though I could have done something different with my fifth pick, I went with Patterson. Again. I had my sights set on , but my man Frank nabbed him two picks in front of me. went just before me to Mark D. I looked at , but said no, I'm going to put my chips on the table like Jim Fa sel and go all-in on Patterson. If you're curious, my league of record team looks as follows: QB  RB Peterson, (a huge roar happened when he was picked because Toby played for our rival high school.) WR ,  Flex Patterson TE (look at his early-season numbers) K (yes, Seaba s goes off the board early) DST (I shuffle defenses. I mi sed on Houston, so I took the ) Notable bench guys: , , My draft grade was a B, but I have to believe the computer isn't as big of a fan of Patterson as I am. He's the glue. And there's a strong po sibility I could end up with . Though those chances have dwindled because I had hoped to take advantage of a guy who was throwing back some Coronas. Which, incidentally, sponsors the TV version of Like/dislike. So before we get started here, leave me a note in the comments or on Twitter who your "ride-or-die" player is for this season. Let's proceed in what our homepage editor called the best use of a soap box in world history. Or something like that.A big hand to stats mavens  and for dropping the knowledge.*If you aren't hip to the lingo of "The League of Record" here's the deal; all of us have multiple fantasy leagues we participate in. And if you don't, what the hell are you waiting for? Sign up for another one right now. But in all of the leagues, there is always one league that stands out as your most important league. For me, it's the Corona Football League I do with my chums from my hometown of Corona, Calif. The league has all of my life-long friends. *And without Dave Winfield Jersey  further ado ... is about to be unleashed on the NFL, with a healthy and at his disposal. I don't see running much as an option for the in this game.The were tougher on quarterbacks last year than you would probably imagine. But this one just has old-fashioned shootout written all over it. No quarterback was victimized more by dropped pa ses than last year. But that should change with added as the No. 2 receiver they've long for. should be a quarterback you're bullish on. Nobody is smarter when it comes to knowing when to run, extend the play, get down and avoid the hit. Have you ever seen him take a direct hit?Can we do some real talk here? The defense isn't good. Like, not at all. That makes a great start this week. Don't be scared of him.Don't be afraid to go with against the this week. San Francisco's D has been decimated with injuries and suspensions so this is actually a good matchup. The were very tough on quarterbacks last season, but now it looks like this could be a favorable matchup this year.And kudos to the as they signed to the practice squad. I watched him extensively during preseason and he looked like somebody who could play.I'm all for starting your studs, and this would certainly apply for who goes to Denver. But I'm afraid he's walking into a buzzsaw. Still, you can't sit the dude.I'm buying in to early. could have kept . But he chose to go with Cutler. I have to believe coach knows what he's doing here. At least I hope he does. looks to have the better matchup on the late "Monday Night Football" matchup. The allowed the ninth-most points to quarterbacks last year. And Arizona could be one of those teams to make a statement on Monday night.Can you trust ? Can you trust your eyes? Don't lecture me about the history. I've been burned by this dude previously. But he looked way too good to ignore in Week 1. is a sneaky play, too. He had a fantastic season last year. But he still had 77 receptions with in the lineup. Sproles had 71 receptions last year. Those receptions have to go someplace. Ingram gets some, but look out for .The and are going to be a shootout. Start pretty much everybody. , for sure. , of course. But would be the true #DangerZone pick.I've never seen so much hand-wringing over a No. 1 running back than . Why must you always find a reason to avoid a No. 1 running back that has nobody nipping at his heels?I'm going volume with . He averaged close to eight-yards per rush in 2013. A small sample size, but he's going to be the top option for the . is in a great position to have a ton of catches. Mostly because and Jeff Tedford will want to run the ball. A lot.  is another person people seem to freak the (expletive) out over. But realize the Law Firm had 200 touches last year. So if gets that many touches, we're good, people. Chill the (expletive) out. is interesting play this year. He saw the majority of the work during the preseason. And his 75 yards and a pair of scores against the still stands out from his last week.I'm still not ready to give up on just yet. But won the job fair-and-square in the preseason and he's got a great matchup against the this week.The pose a formidable matchup for running backs, but is the only member of the I would start this week. is going to be a lot better than people think. He's got some company in the backfield for sure, but CJ will be all over the field in a variety of different roles. He will surprise people, as will the .My top running back of the year? . He had 94 targets in 2013 and 363 touches (both second in the league). He also had at least 100 scrimmage yards in 12 of his last 15 games. Not sure why people think it's crazy to take him first overall. He's been a great, undervalued running back.ImageAs excited as I am about the start of the football season, I have to admit, I marked like no other when I saw the promos for "" this week. The season starts on Tuesday, and I couldn't be happier. Yet, I'm somewhat sad because this is the last season of the show. But I'm going to just sit back and enjoy it.ImageWhen you think about how great this final season of "" will be, "" was the series that probably had the best final season in the history of television. I can't say it definitively because, well, I haven't seen every final season in history, but still. That would stop me from making broad, sweeping generalizations. ImageIf we're picking a fantasy league of "SOA" characters likely to survive this season my top three: , and . Because of course the guy with cancer survives the series. Oh, and the Teller kids because one of them eventually has to find Jax's journal to start the cycle again. Boom! There's your sequel.  had five receiving touchdowns in his last four games of 2013. Remember the whooping he put on the ? Tough matchup against the Birds, but I still start him. Week 1 is not the week you start sitting your studs. Not that there's ever a time for it. But not Week 1. had the most fantasy points among receivers in the last four weeks of the fantasy season. He Andres Munoz Jersey 's my click to be this year's . The common denominator? . shot out of the gate last year with a strong showing, but hit a bit of the rookie wall. This matchup, as mentioned previously, is actually good with all of the injuries. is like the best dude when it comes to Week 1. Or at least it seems that way. Boldin has scored a touchdown in his last three Week 1 games. And seven in his 11 all-time Week 1 games. (He didn't play until Week 7 during his second-season.) I don't want to start a member of the offense. But if I had to, I would go with . He was a monster at the beginning of last season. But that quarterback isn't ideal. is going to have a great game against the . Again, this is another guy who people have found ways to talk themselves out of. But he's going to have double-digit TDs. Not this week, that would be madne s.  How can you not start this guy? I don't like, I love  jackets.All right, what do we do in Denver? was already taken in your league. So in relief? Well, not so fast. Caldwell was fine in relief of Welker last year. That's true. But is there and was already in the mix of red zone packages because of his size. There is a feeling Latimer could be used on the outside with Sanders moving to the slot. The key here is upside.And with Latimer being relevant in the world, it gives us a chance to quote the movie "The Program" and say (expletive) like Latimer! Place at the table! ImageI'm really bummed we didn't get a chance to do the football movies thing again. We'll have to do a reboot because "" is in the mix. But "" is still one of my all-time favorites. I grew up wanting to play football at  Austin Allen Jersey ECU for the great . And yes, maybe someday I can reveal my fan fiction for "The Program." But things don't go well for that Latimer.ImageSpeaking of cool movies I watched as a kid, I loved the vehicle "" from the 1980s. kills it here with . Whenever I'm late I always use the line, "my zipper got stuck." Oh yeah, common denominator for "The Program" and "Summer School" is Duane Davis. #Boom.And for those of you in the camp of "This (expletive) shouldn't be in a football column," well, you're wrong. And Mark Harmon played football at UCLA. #Burn is a great option for the . He's healthy now. And I just get the feeling the are going to look for him often. has six touchdowns and has averaged 52 receiving yards per game in last eight September contests with the and the . That's why I picked him early, people.I'm still a huge believer in the D/ST. and will bring the heat. Plus, I like the matchup against the . Other great options include the (vs. ) and (vs. ).Image as from the is one of the worst-kept secrets, ever. But I'm glad it went with that decision. I have confidence in the DC movies. The stuff was well-received. The last wasn't as bad as you make it out to be. And look at the DC TV shows. "" is money while "" and "" will be good, too. My All-Stars for this week: , , , , , , DST and Seaba s. will wear a thick flak jacket. He's had a history of succe s against the Bucs. But coming off the injuries and the lack of weapons have made me skeptical of his succe s. The have had a pa ser throw for more than 300 yards only once in 27 all-time meetings with the Bucs. But watch Newton burn me on this. is another guy I won't feel good about starting, not until we at least see something from him. had six rushing TDs in his first six games. He's had once since. I'm not sure will be able to salvage so quickly. He's getting a lot of credit for 's succe s, but if you remember Gruden favored Dalton to Kaepernick because Red fit his system better.Do you ever get the feeling Dan Snyder thought he was interviewing Jon Gruden, but was total thrown off when walked in the door?I'm not sure will be able to stand up for 600 pa s attempt this season. The offensive line is better, but I worry about his long-term health. Think of all the big-time athletes who have had their careers ruined by back problems; Larry Bird, Mario Lemiuex, Shawn Michaels.What? Shawn Michaels was a big-time athlete, though he did return to have a pretty good run after his initial hiatus. Although his 2006-07 DX run was kind of forgettable. Seriously.But if this was a week when, in a vacuum, you could convince yourself to sit Luck, this would be the week. The defense could be trouble for people this year.You would think the would be tough on quarterbacks, but they were right in the middle in fantasy points allowed to QBs last year. Still, I'm a little worried about .But can you imagine sitting there with egg on your face when Palmer throws three interceptions during the late Monday Night game, and you're sitting there like a sucker because you decided to roll with him? Can we talk about it Monday?At some point we're going to put in a waiver claim for , right? has gushed about him and Bill Parcells compared him to r Curtis Martin.You hear a lot of people say don't draft on last year's stats. But I gue s that's only when a player has a career year, right? Why wouldn't the same principle apply for a guy poised for a breakout. This is why I don't quite get the disdain for Ingram right now. No matter, it's good for us. The last running back to have more than 100 rushing yards in a home game against the was not . (It was Jamal Anderson way back in 1998. 1998!)And yet, you were all but way too happy to draft this year, even though he reached the dreaded 400 touch mark last year. Yes, that was the guy you had no problem with this year.I would like for to take over the top spot for the and push the A-shirt down the depth chart. Not this week against the .The good news for Pierce is the are on the schedule in Week 2. So if you can roster Pierce for a week, he'll pay off then.BTW, a ton of you freaked me out when was relieved. I mean, was this something you didn't expect to happen after the team selected Hill so high up in drafts? This was going to happen.The problem with the is no matter how great you believe Vereen could do this season, we're talking about . And is still the most talented dude on the roster so there's that.Did you ever think we would come to the point in our lives where you would see the as a solid matchup? Because that's totally happening. I don't see the making the playoffs. looked pretty good in preseason and  Blank Jersey he conjures images of Brandon Jacobs. But it's going to take time for him to get into the mix.Rushing for 2,000 yards was the worst thing to happen to CJ's career because it spawned the idiotic CJ2K nickname. A moniker he's never going to be able to live up to and then we all believe he's a failure.I'm most concerned about this season. The ' offense has really become a bother. When you think is an upgrade, well, that's pretty much all I need to know. Bummer for Foster. He seems like a cool guy and he's somewhat unintentionally hilarious on Twitter. But that won't cut it for my fantasy team. For my Twitter feed? Yes. team? No.ImageYou know what doesn't have me excited? More of those Bud Light Lime-a-Ritas ads. I love the actor and everything. But I've found myself walking around the office, and pretty much everywhere, singing Lionel Richie's "All Night Long." Is there any way to make it end?ImageWhy does the WWE get us all excited with the best SummerSlam in recent history, and then follow it up with the worst RAWs anybody can remember. The Brock Lesnar win has turned into some sort of super Superman (because he was always Superman) who has neutered the Wyatt Family, Seth Rollins and just about everybody right now. Its' awful.ImageUnle s the long-play here is Cena looked super-strong and undeniable only to get his head handed to him at Night of Champions, then you've e sentially made The Undertaker loose his streak to a fireman's carry because JOHN CENA. That can't be it right? Best scenario: Lesnar kills him. Not best: Cena wins. Not great but I'll take it: Rollins cashes in MITB and wins the title.If there was ever a stretch where you would be concerned about Allen, it would be this week. He's got the this week, followed by the . But he's a legit No. 1, start him. is the best bet for the St. Louis FC. And the matchup is favorable as the gave up the second-most points to WRs last year. But would you be willing to play him this week? Me neither.About the only guy I wouldn't want to start from the and game is . The reports haven't been favorable for him, so it would be a rather huge leap of faith to start. Each week, I'm going to select some #DangerZone guys you have no busine s starting but do have the matchup everybody will be talking about. I can just see doing something amazing this week against the . Because D. When I was drafting, I'd see on the board and I would dread having to draft him for value. But then I would have the ultimate fantasygasm when somebody else took him.Are we ever going to talk about Brett Favre for Copper Fit? Have you seen those commercials yet? There are so many jokes I have for this, but most of them are blue, so you're just going to have to hit me up on Twitter.A lot of people want to get into the hand-wringing of, "What does this all mean for ?" Well, stop. This is the guy who was able to make Blair White and Austin Collie household names around fantasy circles. And because I spend a lot of time lecturing the wife and dog about at the dinner table. And by dinner table, I mean on the couch in front of the TV during dinner. has very limited upside. He played fine in spurts when was out last season. But Latimer is going to be my guy here.There's been a lot of buzz about recently, but I just don't get it. He didn't score a touchdown in 14 of his 16 games in 2013. Folks seem to remember the game when he smoked the , but seriously that was just one game. Of the two he scored in. Hilton didn't have a lot of succe s against the at home last year, either. He had 11 targets which he turned into two receptions for 27 yards. Do I even need to mention he didn't score a touchdown?It's time to take down to Front Street. Because what are we going to do with the guy? He had limited value to me headed into the season because of the injury concerns and other guys in the offense would a sume bigger roles. Now he's going to be gone a month. The have a bye in Week 4, so the soonest you'll see him is Week 6. It might be time to part ways. You can pick him up later if you're desperate back then, but it's time to let it go. ImageI don't know why Welker makes me think of this, but I'm not a huge fan of "The Wire." Please tell me the series gets better, because I'm close to not watching any more episodes. I feel like a bunch of people get together and feel like the "smart" thing to say is "The Wire" is so amazing, and people just kind of go along with it. And now as somebody who has seen both "The Shield" and "The Wire" I'm one of the few who can say which is better. "The Shield" is like the 48 , and "The Wire" is . I'm sorry to all of you I have offended.My biggest fear in right now is the are going to roll out and be some sort of dominant offense. Like the whole preseason was a mirage or something. You can just see them turning it on. That'd be the biggest heel turn ever.ImageStrike that. My biggest fear is that there is a freaking albino cobra roaming the streets of Los Angeles right now. A cobra! How are you people calm? I'm calm? I'm at DEFCON 5! Wait, or is it DEFCON 1? Whatever the worst one is, I'm at that!Seriously, a cobra is on the loose in Los Angeles. I'm not sure how I'm going to enjoy the games.ImageI have the full season of "" sitting in my DVR right now, and I don't have the interest to watch it. Has the "Hard Knocks" franchise lost me? I was going to binge watch during a rare Angels off-night on Monday, but instead watched the best of WCW Nitro. The NFL needs to  Greg Garcia Jersey dictate who is on the show. How can you even turn that down? But I have a feeling I'm going to delete "Hard Knocks" before I even watch it. ImageBTW, Jerry Jones keeps talking about pa sing on in the draft. Uh, I'm sure that makes Romo feel great. But again, shouldn't the ultimate blame go to the commi sioner? Like when Roger Goodell was up there, he should have been all, "the select Zaaaaac, I mean , QB, Texas A&M". I mean, he's ultimately the bo s, can't he do what's best for busine s? For the record, you can submit your fantasy questions to , or me on Twitter. But realize, NFL Live has 120,000 followers, and Fabiano has 150,000. Me? Just four. See, the odds are better I will answer your question, so hit me up both or . And if you follow him on Sundays, he'll quote "The Wolf" from "Pulp Fiction" and then it's game on! Although, it's tough to catch me on Facebook. Twitter is your go-to." But make sure not to bother him after midnight ET because he likes to play #HashtagWars with the show .
