2008 Fantasy Football Advice Thread

[RhinoinMN]

If you need advice on making moves on your fantasy football team, don't ask me for I am an idiot.

There are a lot of people on this board that I'm sure would know what to do.


Who to start,

Antonio Bryant or

Desean Jackson?

Who to start,

Antonio Bryant or

Desean Jackson?

An argument can be made for both. With Westbrook banged up, Philly will likely throw more...although that Packers secondary is a mess at the moment for Bryant.

I'd go with Jackson on the strength of McNabb over Griese.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Griese did throw almost 70 times last week

but I have to agree that Jackson and Mcnabb will get you more points, esp, that Westbrook isnt at 100%


Matt Schaub or Brian Greese

I am screwed in my league, am set with 4 WRs and 4 RBS

but these are my 2 shitty QBs

advice please

I would guess Griese, based on the health of the Packer's secondary.

[spoon]

I'd go McNabb and Bryant.

[spoon]

Larry Johnson or Matt Forte?

Forte looks like a great first year player, even involved heavily in the passing game.

Denver can't stop a junior high running back and Johnson will get the ball ALL day.

I'd go with Larry Johnson just because the Bears are playing Philadelphia who have been great against the run.

It's quarter after one. Isn't it late to start changing lineups?

This thread will be extremely useful next week though. Nice work Rhino.

You can still make changes for the later games, but yes I did start this a little late.

for the 1;00 games yeh

but you can still move guys off the starters to the bench if they are playing at 4, 8 or tommorrow night

[midwestjeff]

If it were really a fantasy league, couldn't you change players at any time?



Sorry, I'll leave now.

I can get Huard, but ewww


I may trade for a QB with one of my backs

I forgot I have Slaton also, and he is proving his worth

[spoon]

true but if denver gets up big then lj wont be running much

Looks like that isn't happening, and I went with Johnson. So far so good. Yet KC is fucking a HORRIBLY coached team. Stuffed in the red zone and they have no balls, followed up by a terrible clock management (needed to make it tick) and gave the ball right back after a missed Prater FG, only to give it back and let them hit that FG in the end.

How, HOW does Herm have a job?!

[RhinoinMN]

Looks like Braylon Edwards is going to fuck me in the ass again this week. I'm starting to get used to it.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Schauby is looking to be the right 2 Choice 2 TDs and 200 yrds so far

[RhinoinMN]

Looks like Braylon Edwards is going to fuck me in the ass again this week. I'm starting to get used to it.

Well he finally got me a TD, but the yardage is horrendous.

welker and maroney

[DiabloSammich]

welker and maroney



Don't like Maroney. I have him in two leagues. He's not 100 percent, and when he is he's been losing touches to Sammy Morris. But I don't like your options either.

Fred Taylor might be the better play. For whatever reason, MJD hasn't been stealing many carries from him. And Johnson seems to be running away with the lead back spot from Smith, but they're going to be throwing alot today, like every other week.


Here's my puzzler... I have for WR...

Reggie Wayne
Andre Johnson
Calvin Johnson
Brandon Marshall
Steve Breaston

I can only start three. Right now I'm leaning Marshall, Wayne, Breaston. Thoughts?

[TheGameHHH]

kitna or schaub?

[RhinoinMN]

welker and maroney
Welker hasn't done shit this year. I also have Mcnabb so Jackson gives me the double up potential.

For tonights game I have the option of starting Mewelde Moore or Fred Taylor.

I'm going with Moore unless you guys can convince me to do otherwise.

I already fucked up by going with Rudi Johnson.

Man Detroit is soooo bad.

who the fuck is breaston ??

[RhinoinMN]

who the fuck is breaston ??

#3 receiver for Arizona. He had a big game last week.

With Boldin out, Fitz will surely get doubled. Breaston should have a good game.

since pitt really has no ther rb options moore will see most if not all touches so unless jax goes up big and they abandon the run, moore is the better play

Yeah, so far he's got more catches and more yards than Fitz, but Fitz has the td's.

Go with Moore. I haven't had any confidence in Taylor in a good while.

[RAAMONE]

is Plaxico back next week?

i heard that he may be suspended a couple more game...which would suck

[RAAMONE]

also...would you be starting, Peyton or Rodgers?

ive been starting peyton but rodgers has been the better QB

but i know as soon as i start rodgers, he is going to shit the bed and peyton will have one of those great games

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Im down 29 points in my League


do you thinks me comes backs with Brees and Rivers?

keep in mind that QBs in this league only get 4 points for a TD and I don't get any points for receptions


my opponent has played every player

[cougarjake13]

i heard that he may be suspended a couple more game...which would suck



nope just the one game

[EddieMoscone]

I am thinking about offering a team Joseph Addai and the Jets Defense for Steve Smith (Carolina) and the Giants Defense. What do you think?

FYI, besides Addai I currently have Clinton Portis, Ronnie Brown, Steve Slaton and Darren McFadden on my roster.

[Fezticle98]

FYI, besides Addai I currently have Clinton Portis, Ronnie Brown, Steve Slaton and Darren McFadden on my roster.

I would not make the trade. Here's why:

While the Giants are clearly the better defense, in fantasy terms, I think the Jets are not ranked far below them. In my league, the Jets are only 1pt lower than the Giants.

Plus, look at the schedule the Jets have coming up. They will continue to pile up turnovers and sacks, and not yield as many points as they have.

Not sure about the Giants schedule, but I know they have to play Dallas, Philly, and an improved Washington.

I think you are right to cash in on your depth at running back, but this might not be the right deal. If he has depth at WR and needs a RB, see if you can unload McFadden for Smith.

[Fezticle98]

Should I start Darren McFadden or DeAngelo Williams?

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Should I start Darren McFadden or DeAngelo Williams?


Mcfadden


Williams was a one time thing

Stewart gets all the close TDs

the Chiefs just suck balls


Mcfadden will get you rush and receive yards and is almost fully healed from his injuries

I am gonna start Mcfadden in my 2 leagues I have him

[walking joint]

I made a bad trade yesterday. It helps the other team so much more then me, but I feel I had to do it. I'm 5-0 and have been blowing out the league. I have Warner on my bench and nobody was offering much for him. My roster is:
Brees, Warner, Leinart
Westbrook, Jacobs, Chris Johnson, Stewart and Sproles
Jennings, Marshall, Coles, Galloway

we start 1qb, 2 rb, 2wr and one rb/wr....ppr

Westbrooks injuries are worrying me a bit and Johnson/Stewart have byes coming up. so i traded Warner/Leinart/Sproles....for Schaub/Rosenfels/Buckhalter....i didn't get near the value of Warner I should have, but i needed the Buckhalter handcuff and now i will hope Warner gets hurt. plus i would never play Warner over Brees....just liked the bye week matchup of Cardinals vs Rams.

[RAAMONE]

julius jones or chad johnson

peyton or rodgers

jets D or seahawks D (they are playin the raiders)

[hammersavage]

Be careful of McFadden with Fargas back. His stock goes down for the moment.

And EddieMoscone, you are very deep at RB. You can get a higher end receiver for Addai.

[hammersavage]

julius jones or chad johnson

peyton or rodgers

jets D or seahawks D (they are playin the raiders)

Julius Jones. Ocho Cinco looks absolutely done.

Peyton. Rodgers injury could still be a factor and Indy's getting healthier by the week.

Both D's are a toss up but I'd lean Seattle.

sorry i meant saints D not seahawks

Then Jets. They should capitalize on the mistakes that the Bengals are sure to make.

[walking joint]

jets D or seahawks D (they are playin the raiders)

i guess ocho cinco
rodgers
jets D...and i don't think the seahawks play the Raiders...I think they play GB and Raiders play Saints...if you have the Saints I play them assuming you get pts for punt/kick return TDs.

[cougarjake13]

julius jones or chad johnson

peyton or rodgers seriously ??

jets D or seahawks D (they are playin the raiders)





gotta go jones b/c palmer aint playing and ocho wont get many touches

and i'd go with seattle over the jets b/c arizona has a better offense than oaklands

[DiabloSammich]

also...would you be starting, Peyton or Rodgers?

ive been starting peyton but rodgers has been the better QB

but i know as soon as i start rodgers, he is going to shit the bed and peyton will have one of those great games


I have Rodgers in a couple leagues, and he wasn't the same after that shoulder injury. And Peyton usually warms up as the season goes.


Im down 29 points in my League


do you thinks me comes backs with Brees and Rivers?

keep in mind that QBs in this league only get 4 points for a TD and I don't get any points for receptions


my opponent has played every player


Brees is a monster hippo. 4 pts per td or not, he is the better play.


julius jones or chad johnson

jets D or seahawks D (they are playin the raiders)


I've been surprised by how consistent Jones has been. Almost as surprised as how bad Ocho has been.

And it's hard to give advice on D because everyone scores them so different. In my money league you lose every point that your defense gives up. So if you play the Jets defense and they win 40 to 35 you get minus 35 points. It's fucking brutal, and good defenses are pivotal. We've had defenses go in the third round during drafts.

What is going on with Maroney?

Do I keep him or what?

I have a flex spot and these are my choices

Maroney vs Denver
Mewelde Moore vs Cincy
Lance Moore vs Carolina
Rudi Johnson vs Houston

moore vs cincy

I concur, moore is the way to go.

As for Maroney, I'm fearing that he may be a lost cause. Just no explosiveness.

[spoon]

What is going on with Maroney?

Do I keep him or what?

I have a flex spot and these are my choices

Maroney vs Denver
Mewelde Moore vs Cincy
Lance Moore vs Carolina
Rudi Johnson vs Houston

Maroney vs Denver
Rule Maroney out immediately (bc not only is he banged up, they split the carries among 4 freaking backs (Maroney, Falk, Morris, Jordan). Right now, it looks like Morris is the main guy, with Falk being the multi-use guy he normally is with the pats.

Moore vs Cincy
This is a very good matchup and I'd have to agree it seems like your best shot. Tie in the fact that he's almost assured 15-20 touches against a shitty d, I like his chances. Hell, he rushed for 99 yards last week against the Jax with 17 carries. He also added 3 catches in that Pitt win. I see him going about 22 carries for 110 1 td and 3 catches for 20. He has a good shot to see the end zone multiple times this week.

Moore vs Carolina
Having Brees throwing to you is a very good start, but the fact that there is a possibility that Colston and Shockey may return to the lineup, surely doesn't help his value. Moore has put up some nice, consistent numbers since they went down, but when in the lineup his numbers are dirt. So obviously, you need to keep up on these factors. I also don't like the fact that NO is going into Carolina after a bad loss. Best case senario and both Shockey and Colston don't come back from injury (unlikely bc Shockey seems ready), I'm guessing 6 for 89 yards. I don't think he'll match up so well against the top corner here. He's not a bad option, but not as good at M. Moore in Pitt.

Johnson vs Houston
Best case scenario here is that Rudi does get the bulk of the carries over rookie Kevin Smith only to run into an 8 man box due to the fact that the Lions just lost Kitna and Roy Williams. Kitna was placed on IR and Williams was moved to Dallas for some good compensation to say the least (first smart move by Det in a long time). Yes this leaves some decent receivers to help top flight Calvin Johnson in Furrey and McDonald, but it's still Dan Orlovsky leading this offense. I'm sure he'll play a little better this week versus a shitty Houston D, but I'm not big on this at all. I see around 12 carries for 45 yards/1 catch for 6 yards.

Sammy Morris


Maroney will get limited or no time, Denver gives up so many points

Moore is a finesse RB, he wont get those end zone chances if they are within 5 yrds

read it wrong

for you it Melwelde Moore, by far

thought i saw Morris

[Crippler]

OK, let me start by saying this only an 8 team league (which I know is sad) with some college buddies, so that's why the talent is so deep. That being said, we have 3 WR spots & 2 RBs...I have to chose between the following:

Greg Jenning (GB vs IND)
Marques Colston (NO @ CAR)
Marvin Harrrison (IND @ GB)
Plaxico Burress (NYG vs SF)
Roy Williams (DAL @ StL)

What would you do?

I would go Jennings, Burress, and Colston. Harrison is hit or miss now, and who knows what Roy Williams will bring with an injured Romo or a (much more frightening) healthy Brad Johnson.

[tupper65]

In anpther league I'm hurtin' at QB. Do I start JT O'Sullivan or Brad Johnson today?

[cogsdoc]

tough call, but I would have to go Brad Johnson. it could be boom or bust, but there is just too much talent there. If O'Sullivan was up against a weaker defense it would be a different story.

[DiabloSammich]

In anpther league I'm hurtin' at QB. Do I start JT O'Sullivan or Brad Johnson today?



Johnson isn't a big play guy, but he's got a huge arsenal of playmakers to go to.

JTO is an all or nothing qb that has actually put up big numbers this season, but nobody hears about it.

If you are heavily penalized for turnovers, go Johnson. Other that that it's a coinflip.

[Enabler]

I can start 2 out of these three:

Marvin Harrison @ Green Bay
Jamal Lewis @ Washington
Ronnie Brown home to Baltimore

Any thoughts?

Ronnie Brown

Marvin Harrison


Marvin is back to being Marvin

Ronnie Brown is now the key factor in the Fins offense


Jamal will be on the road, and the Skins D will hold him in check




I am too loaded at WR I cant start Hines Ward, cause I Have Steve Smith (Panthers) and Reggie Wayne

is there a way to start Hines, or is he bench ridden

The guy needs a QB pretty bad, he has Matt Cassel. I need a running back and have Trent Edwards as my fallback at QB.

who is your other QB? I think he is trying to take advantage of LenDale's big game. Orton has been putting up huge numbers. Titans still have Chris Johnson as their main back

[Fezticle98]

Should I cut bait with Kellen Winslow at this point? He is a douche (duh) and is underperforming when not injured or suspended.

I can get a Marcedes Lewis or somesuch off the waiver wire.

I can't believe I clicked the wrong button and drafted Winslow instead of Antonio Gates. That will cost me a couple games this season. :furious:

hes only out 1 more game...

[King Hippos Bandaid]

i'm glad i realized you were a jinx and went with moore...134 yards, 3 TD's, 5 catches

Morris had 130 and a TD

not too bad of a second choice

I didnt start Moore and it hurt me


Westbrook is Back, do I sit Slaton or let Westbrook ride the Pine one more week

[Fezticle98]

hes only out 1 more game...

My thinking behind this is that he has been terrible all year anyway. I'd like to hold on to him, but the suspension at least forces a tough roster decision this week. It's either cut Winslow and add a TE or cut a depth position player (Fargas or McFadden) to add a 2nd TE.



Westbrook is Back, do I sit Slaton or let Westbrook ride the Pine one more week

Tough choice. Slaton has a GREAT matchup again Cincy, allowing 155 rush yards per game and 10TDs. ATL allows 118 and 6.

It would be hard to bench Westbrook though. On the positive side, they are both great plays. Right now, I'd go Slaton.

[foodcourtdruide]

Morris had 130 and a TD

Who are all your running backs and how many starting slots are there?

hmm then maybe I should not start BarberIII, I figured he was the Constant start here

[RAAMONE]

hmm then maybe I should not start BarberIII, I figured he was the Constant start here

you gotta start barber (especially with felix jones out and they having been throwing tons of balls to him also)

[King Hippos Bandaid]

I hear ya Westbrook sits until further notice


I picked up the Ben Jarvus Cat in my other league

Sammy Morris may not start and the Pats are playing the Rams

dare i start him over Ronnie Brown, Brown has cooled off

[TheGameHHH]

I hear ya Westbrook sits until further notice

i think youre foolish to sit Westbrook, if he plays he's always an automatic start. the eagles offense literally runs through him. he runs, catches balls and gets the goaline carries. unless of course this is our league and youre playing me, if thats the case then go with Slaton

[tupper65]

I'm hurtin' at QB.

Do I start O'Sullivan or Anderson this week?

[foodcourtdruide]

I agree. Here are my RB's:

Westbrook
Slaton
Julius Jones
DeAngelo Williams

I will definitely be starting Westbrook and Slaton, and if I had to choose I'd start Westbrook over Slaton. Westbrook starting is a as close to a guarenteed huge game as you can get in fantasy football.

[foodcourtdruide]

I'm hurtin' at QB.

Do I start O'Sullivan or Anderson this week?

O'Sullivan is going against Seattle! I go with O'Sullivan easily.

[tupper65]

O'Sullivan is going against Seattle! I go with O'Sullivan easily.

I got one more for ya. Gotta start 2 WR from: Reggie Wayne, Roddy White & Plaxico Burress.

Who gets the start?

[cougarjake13]

Kyle Orton for LenDale White?

Is this a realistic proposal?

The guy needs a QB pretty bad, he has Matt Cassel. I need a running back and have Trent Edwards as my fallback at QB.

who's your starter now ?? orton ??



id make the trade

[TheGameHHH]

Thanks.

Who gets the start?

this is a tough one, can u just plug the other one in the flex position? i really like all 3 of those guys. I think I would def. start White and then debate the pros and cons with Wayne and Plax. Plax is going up against a solid team in the Steelers, much different then the creampuff schedule the Giants have faced so far. I think the Colts are playing the Titans, another outstanding defense. I'd probably go with Plax but that's your call.

Plax is going up against a solid team in the Steelers, much different then the creampuff schedule the Giants have faced so far. I think the Colts are playing the Titans, another outstanding defense. I'd probably go with Plax but that's your call.


i'd sit plax he's causing shit, plus he said bad shit against the steelers after he left so they'll (pitt) be fired up

[spoon]

What is going on with Maroney?

Do I keep him or what?

I have a flex spot and these are my choices

Maroney vs Denver
Mewelde Moore vs Cincy
Lance Moore vs Carolina
Rudi Johnson vs Houston

Maroney vs Denver
Rule Maroney out immediately (bc not only is he banged up, they split the carries among 4 freaking backs (Maroney, Falk, Morris, Jordan). Right now, it looks like Morris is the main guy, with Falk being the multi-use guy he normally is with the pats.

Moore vs Cincy
This is a very good matchup and I'd have to agree it seems like your best shot. Tie in the fact that he's almost assured 15-20 touches against a shitty d, I like his chances. Hell, he rushed for 99 yards last week against the Jax with 17 carries. He also added 3 catches in that Pitt win. I see him going about 22 carries for 110 1 td and 3 catches for 20. He has a good shot to see the end zone multiple times this week.

Moore vs Carolina
Having Brees throwing to you is a very good start, but the fact that there is a possibility that Colston and Shockey may return to the lineup, surely doesn't help his value. Moore has put up some nice, consistent numbers since they went down, but when in the lineup his numbers are dirt. So obviously, you need to keep up on these factors. I also don't like the fact that NO is going into Carolina after a bad loss. Best case senario and both Shockey and Colston don't come back from injury (unlikely bc Shockey seems ready), I'm guessing 6 for 89 yards. I don't think he'll match up so well against the top corner here. He's not a bad option, but not as good at M. Moore in Pitt.

Johnson vs Houston
Best case scenario here is that Rudi does get the bulk of the carries over rookie Kevin Smith only to run into an 8 man box due to the fact that the Lions just lost Kitna and Roy Williams. Kitna was placed on IR and Williams was moved to Dallas for some good compensation to say the least (first smart move by Det in a long time). Yes this leaves some decent receivers to help top flight Calvin Johnson in Furrey and McDonald, but it's still Dan Orlovsky leading this offense. I'm sure he'll play a little better this week versus a shitty Houston D, but I'm not big on this at all. I see around 12 carries for 45 yards/1 catch for 6 yards.

i'm glad i realized you were a jinx and went with moore...134 yards, 3 TD's, 5 catches

Pretty much nailed this question here. Any other brain busters!

then Wayne vs. the Titans it is.

[RAAMONE]

mewelde moore (if parker sits again) or kevin faulk

i think moore is the better back but faulk has the better matchup i think

[King Hippos Bandaid]

mewelde moore (if parker sits again) or kevin faulk

Id pick up that Ben Jarvis character, he is gonna get most of the Carries, if Sammy Morris doesnt play due to injury

[RAAMONE]

sammy morris is out 2-3 weeks so its faulk and that new guy

faulk is projected to get 17 points in my league
ben jarvis is projected to get 10

so that lead me to beleive faulk would probably be the main back

If you are in a PPR league go with Faulk. However, based on what they did in the second half last week I think Green-Ellis will get more carries.

[TheGameHHH]

I hear ya Westbrook sits until further notice


I picked up the Ben Jarvus Cat in my other league

Sammy Morris may not start and the Pats are playing the Rams

dare i start him over Ronnie Brown, Brown has cooled off

Hippos, how did not starting Westbrook work for you?

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Hippos, how did not starting Westbrook work for you?


I started him and sat Barber

edit: reason why I sat barber III was because I had the TB defense, if Barber scores I lose defense points

quite well, first place in my roto league, you get $50 per week that u win

I just hope Manning doesn't score 62 points, if not, I'm in good shape

[ChimneyFish]

I was forced to start Westbrook and Buckhalter yeasterday.:furious: I had Pittman, Sammy Morris and Willie Parker on my bench, and there was really nothing but garbage among the free agents.

Luckily the rest of my team is decent enough to have me going into tonights game with my opponent needing Chris Johnson(Titans) to get 65 points.

Between him, Warner and Santana Moss, I had a pretty nice game.

OK, it's that time of week again. I'm 3-5 in this league and DESPERATELY need a win...

Jeff Garcia vs. KC > Derek Anderson vs. Bal

Roddy White is a must start. Between Wayne and Burress, I'd go Wayne.

[Snoogans]

Jeff Garcia vs. KC > Derek Anderson vs. Bal

Roddy White is a must start. Between Wayne and Burress, I'd go Wayne.

sadly, burress and wayne are both risks. Peyton hasnt looked great, so who really knows with that. If Burress even decided to show up for meetings and can play, he usually does ok, though last week eli was kinda tryin to make a point I think.

Id prob go burress against a REALLY beat up cowboys secondary

[TheGameHHH]

Wayne sat out practice yesterday because of his knee, take from that what you will. I'd start White and Plax.

Plus Derek Anderson shouldn't be starting on his own real life team, let alone anybody's fantasy team

[Snoogans]

jesus, does anyone NOT get hurt anymore?

LET EM START TAKING ROIDS AGAIN, PLEASE

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Do I start Melwede Moore (who may not start) or Darren Mcfadden (who is quickiy becoming the Greg oden of Football)

im getting rape in your league

Im up 10 I have Reggie Wayne and Phishy has Dallas Clark


you figure a win for me, but 2 Dallas Clark Touchdowns, I am beat yet again

I have no luck , I score points but alas everyone has their best game against me


thank god your league was free



my 2 pay leagues I am having a lil more success, not more points, just other teams are not having their best game against me

[Fezticle98]

I hear LT is on a bye and Bush is hurt, im in a Bind

maybe ill pick up Leon Washington

I have Bush and DeAngelo Williams (bye)

So I went ahead and picked up Faulk (surprisingly available) and Justin Fargas, after I picked up and then dropped Leon Washington.

Fargas is still getting a lot of carries and has a good match vs. ATL.

But if you look at my history of advice in this thread, I am the fantasy football equivalent of your real-life jinx.

[Fezticle98]

I have a bye at WR and picked up Nate Washington from PIT. I know he has TDs past 2 games, but Santonio Holmes is back.

Not many other good options. Probably the best would be Devin Hester or Rashied Davis. I'm in a 14 team league, with 3 WR spots, so there is not much available. Greg Camarillo and higher are taken.

Stupid kicker question...should I drop Akers (against SEA) for Matt Bryant (vs. KC) this week? Tough to predict kickers.

Good news is I will probably win since I am playing the last place, absentee manager.

Peyton is probably a hair stronger but they both aren't bad.

Camarillo over moore. He gets a ton of looks.

Here's my conundrum regarding a trade... I was offered RB Chris Johnson and Wes Welker for Steve Smith (the real one, on Carolina).

My RBs are Larry Johnson, Earnest Graham, Matt Forte and Ray Rice. Obviously, LJ and Graham are not playing this week, so as it stands Forte and Rice are my current starters.

My other WRs are Larry Fitzgerald and Dwayne Bowe.

My initial gut response would be to decline, as I'd be giving up a monster receiver in Smith. But, I see that the RB situation in Baltimore is still a question mark, so Rice may not end up doing much of anything. Chris Johnson could be a great alternative to start alongside Forte this week.

Do I accept this offer?

i'd do it

johnson has issues, who knows if he finishes the season
graham got injured but should play
forte is gold
rice is good but theres still magahee


so you'll get johnson to shore up your rb's
and welker while not smith still gets a lot of catches, and td's

I would definitely do that trade. Larry Johnson mite not play the rest of the year from what my inside sources tell me. Graham is alright, Forte is good and Rice is just unknown at this point.

You have enough depth at WR with Fitzy and Bowe with adding Welker that you should be alright.

The only thing you would have to worry about is CJ hitting the rookie wall. Same with Forte though.

You could counter with Fitzgerald for Johnson and see if he bites. That would be best for you but I dont think he'd accept. Good luck.

Yeah, he was my last round pick.

[Fezticle98]

QB has been tough for me this year as well. Drafted Brady in round 1.

Luckily, I was able to pick up Orton about week 5 and had Trent Edwards playing ok before that.

Now I play the waiting game with Orton and Reggie Bush this week. If they are healthy, they start. If I don't know by Saturday, I may have to play Edwards, which could be a better play at QB anyway. For RB, it may have to be Peyton Hillis, if Bush can't go.

Jets v. Pats

or

Dolphins v. Oakland

The obvious by looking at it is pick the Dolphins, and they'll do very well in regards to yardage and sacks, but the Jets D has been ON FIRE the past few weeks and the Dolphins don't generate a lot of turnovers. Plus the Pats are down to 4h string RB, who the Jets will smother and I doubt Cassel can kill them all alone.

Am I just a biased Jets fan here? Who would you play?

Thigpen vs. a banged up Buffalo secondary (injured Safety & CB)

or

Garcia vs. Detroit (nuff said)

or

Garcia vs. Detroit (nuff said)

id go with Garcia for the consistency. Thigpen might put up better numbers but i think its more of a gamble. plus although Buffalo is a little banged up they still have something to play for. Detriot honestly just doesnt give a fuck, the pretty much have a group of Pop Warner kids playing for them

[cougarjake13]

Kind of pointless with Reggie Bush's status up in the air, but Peyton Hillis or Reggie Bush?

Do I think of starting Peyton Hillis even if Bush plays?

id go hillis


even if bush is back he wont be 100% right away

QB decisions:

Thigpen vs OAK
Collins vs DET
Delhomme vs GB

I need one.

[Fezticle98]

QB decisions:

Thigpen vs OAK
Collins vs DET
Delhomme vs GB

I need one.

I'd go with Collins vs. DET.

But double check the pass defense stats: YPG and TDs allowed by each. Vs DET is a fantasy football bonanza.

[Fezticle98]

Trent Edwards vs. SF or Orton @ MIN?

TB vs. NO or BUF vs. SF?

[hammersavage]

QB decisions:

Thigpen vs OAK
Collins vs DET
Delhomme vs GB

I need one.

Thiggy has been a monster for the last 4 weeks. It would be tough to see him even against a decent pass defense. But I'd consider starting Collins because Det stinks and its fun to have a rooting interest on Thanksgiving.


Trent Edwards vs. SF or Orton @ MIN?

TB vs. NO or BUF vs. SF?

Trent Edwards is in pretty cold weather, but Lilly has promised a vroom vroom if he throws 3 td's.

Why? Parker had 87 yds and MJD has yet to play against a porous Texans defense.

ahh i must have been thinking of last week or something

forgot they hadnt played yet

[foodcourtdruide]

I'm in the playoffs!!!

I have a few tough choices this week, need some opinions.

Here are my 3 RB:
Slaton HOU @GB
D. Williams CAR TB
Westbrook @NYG

I have to start 2. This is such a tough decision. I'm going to base it on how Jonathan Stewart is feeling. I think starting Slaton is a no-brainer because of his opponent, I'd start Westbrook but I'm scared to start him against the Giants D. Maybe I'll go Williams, Slaton unless Pierce sits?

TE:

Shiancoe MIN @DET
Heap BAL WAS

Heap's been more of a part Baltimore's offense lately and could factor in huge against Washington, but Shiancoe is going up against DETROIT. But does a bad opponent favor a TE? I think the opponent will favor Berrian and Peterson more. I think I'm going to go with Heap.

K:

Kaeding SD OAK
Akers PHI @NYG

I'm leaning towards Kaeding because of weather. Kicker is so unpredictable. I'll probably go Kaeding, though Akers had a huge game last week.

id go slaton and westbrook, even if the eagles go down big early theyll still throw and westbrook will still get a lot of touches

id go heap, same reason as above if vikes go up big then its all about running

kaeding or akers is a crapshoot
if mcnabb is clicking like last week then they put up huge td numbers which isnt good for a kicker only 1 pt for a pat

you'll prob see more fg's out of akers then kaeding though, oakland defense isnt good

[foodcourtdruide]

I agree with everything you're saying jake. It's hard not to start Williams though, but TB's run defense is great.

plus the last time they met tampa blew them out

doesnt mean it'll happen again

[TheGameHHH]

ok folks, i need massive amounts of help this week. one game away from the championship game.

pennington vs. shitty buffalo or mcnabb v. the g-unit men

then....Portis is Sunday night and game time at best. He's been game time for the past 3 weeks and played but i feel like my luck is about to run out. my question is this. should i sit Portis, move up deangelo williams to my second back spot and flex santana moss? or do i keep portis in, hope he goes, and keep williams as my flex?

I'd go with McNabb. I'm going all or nothing with Philly. I'm starting Westbrook and Akers.

[TheGameHHH]

Brandon "I'm a beast and nobody in the NFL can even come close to tackling me" Jacobs

[RhinoinMN]

I have a similar QB issue

Mcnabb vs Giants

or

Garcia vs Carolina.

I have Garcia right now, but now I am leaning toward Mcnabb.

[STC-Dub]

Start McNabb, he had a good fantasy game the last time he faced the Giants. Garcia has not been very good the last couple of weeks and had only 173 yards the first time he played against the Panthers.

[foodcourtdruide]

westbrook loooks out for philly so unless mcnabb is gonna run and throw passes to himself teh eagles are fucked .... start pennington



and portis even if he plays aint 100% plus jacobs is a beast and going up against that philly defense is a good play



plus look what he did just a few weeks ago against the eagles

like i said in my other post unless mcnabb runs and throws to himself he's a bad play, yeh they have desean jackson but he'll be double teamed with no one else there to take the pressure of him



and garcia's last start against carolina was only his 2nd back from his benching, yeh his stats arent great the last 2 weeks but they didnt need him to throw all over the place




here are the panthers defense rankings


Points/Game 19.3 (7th)

I'd go with DeAngelo Williams as your RB2 for sure. Provisionally Portis as your flex. Only put Santana Moss as your flex if Portis looks unlikely to play.

Neither Portis nor Moss have done much the past few weeks, but I'd always lean toward a RB (especially an un-platooned one) as a flex over a WR.

Where do you see Westbrook is out????

[cougarjake13]

Where do you see Westbrook is out????

i remember seein it last night on espn's crawl

[cougarjake13]

now they say questionable but last night it said out


Westbrook questionable for Sunday


Eagles running back Brian Westbrook missed practice for the second consecutive day. Coach Andy Reid said that it was a precautionary move to give the Pro Bowl running back rest, and he should be active in Week 14. The big thing, according to Reid, was keeping Westbrook off the artificial turf.

[EddieMoscone]

I'm likely to bench Portis this week and keep Addai active with Slaton as my running backs. Addai has not been good, but he's playing Cincy and Portis seems to finally be breaking down a bit. 3 different injuries + playing the Baltimore defense = not a good game for Portis.

My only real decision is my defense again, Jets v. 49ers or Dolphins v. Bills. Bills should have Losman starting and now Marshwan Lynch is dealing with a bad back.

[PigShitIrish]

What three WRs should I start out of the following 4:

Brandon Marshall
Braylon Edwards
Eddie Royal
Greg Jennings

I know it kind of seems easy sitting Eddie Royal, but he has been out performing at least one of the other three every week.

Both the Panthers and Eagles allow 10.8 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. It isn't like Garcia's WR are any better than McNabb's. Westbrook is questionable but expected to play according to NFL.Com. Not saying McNabb will be great, he will just be better than Garcia this week.

[STC-Dub]

Sit Edwards which is solid advice every week with Dorsey now starting for the Browns.

[foodcourtdruide]

Definitely sit Edwards. Ugh, Westbrook situation is a headache. Really tempted to just start DeAngelo Williams over him.

[DiabloSammich]

Who will score more points?

Washington against Baltimore,

Cincinnati against Indianapolis,

or Philly against New York?


I'm leaning on playing Indy's D, because Cincy sucks high tit, but Baltimore is won my last two weeks for me, and Washington doesn't put up big numbers.

Go with Baltimore, they have the best defensive touchdown threats in the league and Portis is hurting, right?

I had Baltimore or San Diego and I'm going with Baltimore. Though San Diego's D had a good game I still think Baltimore will outscore them.

Side note: I'm going with DeAngelo Williams over Westbrook. I had a fucking dream!!!!!

The Colts D is playing well and the Bengals stink, start the Colts.

[DiabloSammich]

I have four actually, but I didn't think Houston was even worth mentioning.

We have a very deep, 30 spot roster and because of the way the scoring is set up the defenses are the most important part of the team.

[EddieMoscone]

FUCK!!!

My playoffs start this week. I have Portis, Addai, Slaton and Ronnie Brown as my RBs. I had already decided to sit Portis and start Slaton with Addai, but now Addai is suddenly questionable with a knee injury. I guess I have to go with Brown and Slaton...I hate fantasy football!

how many teams in the league ?? i'd hope no more than 6 or 7

[foodcourtdruide]

Well, Westbrook sure showed all of us! I think I'm winning the first round of the playoffs, so I'm definitely going to be playing him next week home vs Cleveland.

[TheGameHHH]

I lost my playoff matchup by one point. I decided to start Pennington, he netted me 11 points.

On my bench? Donavon McNabb....netting me 13 points.

I made the wrong choice and now I have to spend the entire off season thinking about the best fantasy football team I've ever owned not making it to the championship.

[DiabloSammich]

jesus

I think there's ten.

Either way, I played Baltimore, but it didn't really matter cause Indy was just as good.

I've won my division, heading to the championship game. Because of how great I am, you see.

[Fezticle98]

I lost in the round of 8. Second highest point total for the week, but I came up against a juggernaut and lost by 15. I was down by 50 going in to Monday night and had DeAngelo Williams and TB.

What will I do with all this extra work time?

[Freakshow]

anybody got a gut feeling about Portis this week? I sat him the past couple of weeks, but before that he was my workhorse. I do have Ronnie Brown and Jones-Drew, so I would feel ok starting those two. But the Cincinnati matchup has me salivating and i'm considering starting him instead of Ronnie Brown.

I have a tough QB decision to make as well. I've been starting Kerry Collins and he's been very consistent. But I have Garrard on the bench and he could potentially have a big week.

My philosophy this week is going to be just play the best players, and not worry so much about match-ups. I have Campbell and I'm thinking he'll have a huge game vs Cinci, but I'm going with Ryan vs TB.

I'd go with Jones-Drew, especially with Taylor out. Don't you think he'll get all goalline touches?

[Freakshow]

actually, i didn't play Portis last week because of the matchup (and he's been listed as questionable for a month), and he got a whopping 3 points and was benched for the second half. He went on the John Thompson show and said some comments about Zorn that would get a lot of other players benched or realeased outright. But he's drippy-spongy or whatever his stupid dress-up characters were called so I guess he's going to play...

[STC-Dub]

Portis will have a big game this week. He will be extra motivated and is facing a very bad Bengals rushing D.

Up 18 + Matt Forte over a team with only Robbie Gould left.
