schaub vs kc
Romo. The Giants' pass D is very poor. A close 2nd is Roethlisberger, but I don't trust him against any Romeo Crennel defense. Schaub is still an unknown commodity, so I'd wait a few weeks to put him into the starting lineup.
I'm in a PPR league, all TDs are six points. 1QB, 2RB, 3 Rec (WR/TE), 1PK, 1DEF
My running backs are solid, but my receivers are teh suk. What I have in the lineup now.
Gates
Braylon Edwards
Shockey
On the bench I have:
Calvin Johnson
Vernon "Cyborg" Davis
Brandon Jones
Should I leave Shockey in, or roll the dice with CJ against a pretty good pass defense?
to me if you even have to think about it id always go with the wr over the te
Alex Smith vs Arizona
or
Vince Young vs Jax
def smith
Holy Christ Alex Smith.
Jacksonville owns Vince Young. I think in the two games he played against them he combined for 200 yards.
Edit: Actual stats against Jacksonville last year:
1. 15/36 163 yards, 1TD, 3INTS, 4 rushes for 14 yards
2. 8/15 85 yards, 0TDs, 4 rushes for 4 yards
Deuce McAllister vs Indianapolis
Rudi Johnson vs Baltimore
Maurice Drew vs Tennessee
Pick 2. I'm most likely going Johnson and Drew, but McAllister against the awful Indy run D is tempting.

Quote.J. Houshmandzadeh, WR CIN
News: Bengals WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh (knee) is listed as probable for Week 1 vs. Baltimore. Houshmandzadeh went through a limited practice routine Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday.
Analysis: The Bengals have an extra day to prep since they play on Monday. There was no need to rush Housh onto the field earlier in the week. He appears ready for action. In nine career games against the Ravens, Houshmandzadeh has 55 catches for 784 yards (14.3) and five TDs, an average of 6.1 catches per game and 87.1 yards per game. The Ravens present a tough matchup, but Housh seems to do well against Baltimore. Continue to track any late breaking news, but it appears safe to consider Housh a No. 1 Fantasy WR for Week 1
QuoteDonald Driver, WR GB
News: Packers WR Donald Driver (foot) is listed as probable for Week 1 vs. Philadelphia. He went through a full practice Friday after limited workouts on Wednesday and Thursday. "I thought Donald looked good. I don't foresee him having a problem, if he does go," head coach Mike McCarthy said.
Analysis: The Packers were unsure of Driver's status heading into Friday, but barring any setbacks, it appears as though their No. 1 WR will be on the field. Driver is a must-start Fantasy option most weeks. Driver is coming off an outstanding season in which he caught 92 passes for 1,295 yards and eight touchdowns.
I've got to get some better receivers. I am good with RBs, I have LJ, Jones-Drew, Portis, Norwood, Chris Brown, and Leon Washington. I've been thinking Portis at this point could land me a decent WR, but I know his stock is low at this point. Should I hope he has a good game or two, and that Gibbsy doesn't limit his carries, and then try to move him high? If I move him now, why type of WR is he worth? Boldin? Darrel Jackson? Reggie Brown?

Yeah, thats what I saw too. I was puzzled by Housh's injury because it seemed to come out of nowhere.
As for Portis, I don't think his stock will be too high right now. Personally, I would wait to see 1) if he looks healthy and 2) to see if he gets a majority of the carries. Either hitting either one will make his stock rise. (then again, Ive had portis on my "do not draft list". I did see him fall to the 7th round in one of the drafts I was doing for a coworker, so others feel the same.)
gotta watch out for portis inside the ten too...he may get more carries than betts however betts may get the majority of td's
Quote from: ice grillin you on September 08, 2007, 08:56:27 AM

The knock on Betts has always been he is gimp inside the redzone. Act like you live near D.C. and have heard this.
i have not an in fact have heard the opposite that they like betts at the goal line more...and portis in open space to hit the home run...something betts with much less speed cant do nearly as well
Here's another thing, Betts has fumble issues as well, and I would imagine that would limit his touches in the red zone. Anyway....
I'll find out Sunday if I have shtein to trade. If Portis gets 20 or less touches, he's worthless, at least for awhile.
portis scares me because of his injuires not splitting time...if hes healthy then hes easily better than betts and his touches will show that
Getting an early jump.
Running back problem....
Jones-drew vs. Atlanta is my only lock starter.
Here are the options:
Portis vs. the Birds (I like this one best)
Larry Johnson vs. the Bears (Looked like ass against Houston, do I bench my first pick??)
Chris Brown vs. Indy (Monster game, is he the clear cut number one in TEN?)
I don't know if I'd lock Jones Drew in automatically. He only carried the ball for 32 yards this week. Granted, he only had like 7 touches which gives him a 4.2 ypc average, but still. He was less than spectacular last week.
Portis vs the Birds is a lock. You have to play him because even in the Eagles bounce back from last week, I don't see them blowing out the Skins so Portis should still see carries late in the game. Especially if they're winning.
LJ is the type of back that you'd normally start every week regardless of who he's facing. However, aside from the fact that he looked terrible against the Texans, Herm Edwards said that he's going to make it a point to closely monitor LJ's touches this year so that he doesn't carry the ball 400+ times again. He only got 10 carries last week in a game that was close until the 3rd qtr. Factor that plus he's playing the Bears. We saw what they did to LT. I might stay away from LJ this week.
Chris Brown scares me but I think I'd go with him. He seemed to play with a chip on his shoulder last week and may continue to do so knowing that Lendale White is fighting for more carries. Plus, I don't think Indy's defense, while improved, isn't as good as advertised last week.
A trade was proposed to me today. I've been mulling it for over an hour.
I was offered Deuce McAllister and Calvin Johnson for Edgerrin James.
Now, i already have Steve Smith and Roy Williams at WR and I have Marion Barber at the flex W/R position. My other RB is Gore.
Any good insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
what's your whole starting lineup?
Starters are:
McNabb
Steve Smith
Roy Williams
Gore
Edge
Barber III
Shockey
Rackers
New England
Bench:
Chris Brown
Leinart
K. Curtis
Stokley
Jerry Porter
Horn
D. Bowe & a few more
i wouldn't do that deal
you're locked in with your first two wideout position and running back positions, you have a very good flex in barber because he gets goal line carrier, but you also have options there with brown and curtis. you'd be downgrading your running back position to marginally upgrade your flex position. i don't think it's worth it.
i think edge is going to have a good year this year. they gave him a fullback and the cardinals line looks better and arizona looks committed to the run.
just my opinion, but i wouldn't do that deal.
Thanks for the info man. It helps.
Avoid two for one deals.
the deal isnt that bad considering the fact that Marion Barber is a beast out there running the ball and looks a hell of alot better than Julius Jones. Theres a great chance he gets majority of the carries.
Edge looked great against the 49ers, and he should 1st game of season against the 49ers, but as he starts getting pounded the next 3-5 games, he wont look so fast as you might see with the upcoming opponents. I mean, dont lose fact they are the Cardinals and did little to improve their O-line from last year
With the receivers, now you have a legit WR2 or possible starter in Johnson that you didnt have. Not to mention you have no bench worth a start. This also gives you a RB in Deuce that can produce evenly with that of James if not in yards, then TD's. The Saints offense will have more scoring opps.
Id take it while James' vaule is high right now

brown is def out as the colts are gonna have a huge lead all game which will limit carries for brown
portis is a good play but im with you on how the hell do you validate benching your #1 pick in week 2...i just couldnt do that and would go with lj
I wouldn't start LJ, regardless of the round he was drafted. The matchups favor Portis and Jones-Drew.
In a keeper league, I got screwed out of my keeper QB bulger so now I'm left with the option of:
Kitna vs. MIN
Favre vs. NYG
Minny's defense is for real.
Did you see the way Romo threw all over the Giants? No brainer there....
i disagree...i can see kitna sacked a bunch of times and maybe throw a pick or two...but i can also see him throwing it 45 times for 300+ yards and a bunch of td's...not saying he will but thats a better possibility than farve lighting it up in that awful offense...even against the giants
Kitna might put up decent numbers, but they won't be anything like last week. Green Bay against a Giants team looks like a great match up. Jennings will be back, Driver another week removed from a bum ankle, Brandon Jackson will have room to run. I just think it'll be one of the few times Farve will produce good fantasy stats this year.

Agreed. Kitna had a good outting against the Raiders who have a pertty damn good defense.....ranked top 5 last year if I remember correctly. So starting him against the Vikes may not be a bad thing.
Favre is definately capable of having a vintage day and lighting up the Gints. But I really don't know if he has the players around him to do it. Kitna definately has the weapons.
also, the Vikes were very good against the run last year, but not nearly as good against the pass, Kitna in this offense is pretty much an automatic start each week.
Who do I start at my #3 WR and flex posisitions, pick two between these players.
WR-Dennis Northcutt
WR-Nate Burleson
WR-Jason Avant
RB-Julius Jones
RB-Ladell Betts
I have Northcutt at #3 WR and Betts in the flex right now. I have Derrick Ward starting at my #2 RB posistion against Miami. I'm thinkin either Betts or Jones have to be in the flex, Betts did well against the Eagles last year.
And in another league...Pick my #2 RB out of one of these guys..my #1 is S. Jackson
Marion Barber III
Julius Jones
Ahman Green
Chris Brown
Derrick Ward
You have Jason Avant on a fantasy roster? Surprise.
Anyway, first group: Northcutt and Jones. I'm think after last week, Betts' workload will be reduced a bit. Portis looked like the old Portis.
Second group, Marion Barber III. He's a touchdown machine. Barber's last 16 games = 17 touchdowns. He'll score against Miami, and have a decent stat line.
I have Chris Brown in my money league, the temptation to start him is growing. If he posts another decent game, then I would suggest moving him into Barber's class, and picking them based on matchups. He isn't there yet IMO.

chess match between the two former Chargers coordinators. I see the under coming through here
go with Big Ben against the Bills secondary. Javon Walker lit them up last week and hes their only threat.
Roth has H Ward and S Holmes-- with H Miller in the middle
Would you do this trade? I'm trying to sell Burress while his value is probably at the highest it will be all season.
Burress and Portis
for
Addai and Santonio Holmes
Standard scoring league, with 2 RBs, 2 WRs and 1 WR/RB flex per team.
My other RBs: Gore, jones-Drew, Br. jackson, and Selvin Young (strictly taken as a flyer since henry is prone to injury)(
My other WR's: Reg Brown, Berrian
id do it if i was you...but i doubt the other person will do it tho simply because addai was his first pick and portis is gonna share time with betts...where as addai is the colts backfield
I should add that I sent this to him last night, but with Mcnabb going from me and Brees coming (he's Canadian, and I was trying to Jesse James him). He rejected on the grounds that he doesn't trust McNabb's knee, but with no other objections.

That trade is nice. You'd be stacked an RB. It would depend on if you could move MJD. I would do it, then trade Jones-Drew for some nice WR talent. With Gore and Addai, you would have two bonafide RB1s. Holmes is going to have a nice season, and with the quality of WRs you could get for Jones-Drew, you could turn that team into a real powerhouse.

Ha. Brandon Marshall: 5 catches, 52 yards and a TD, and Brandon Stokley: Three balls for 65 yards. But they suck.
I'd still go with Roethlisberger against Buffalo.....but it's a toss up. Check the weather conditions a bunch too before the start of the game.
Of course I'd do that trade. Everyone with a brain would do that trade.
Word. That trade would never fly in my money league, no way it would make it through the voting.
Of the following RBs...pick 2 (for RB2 and Flex)
Thomas Jones @ Baltimore
Carnell Williams vs Saints (I also have pittman in case Caddy doesnt make it)
DeAngelo Williams vs Houston
LenDale White vs Indy
cadillac and then id probably go with jones...hes against baltimore but hes gettin all the carries and with clemens starting they are gonna try and ride him
if you dont feel comfortable starting a rb vs the balt d then flip a coin btwn lendale and de angelo...id go with deangelo tho since carolina should be up against houston most of the game and running more vs indy probably waxing tenn and the titans throwing more

Yeah the first league is 14 teams so the rosters are pretty deep. Which explains why I picked up Jason Avant.
3rd wideout in a PPR league:
Lav Coles
or
Santonio Holmes
normally i go coles but with them playing Baltimore and having Clemens as the quarterback, i'm leaning towards Holmes against buffalo.
id leave the spot empty...i dont like either of those choices

Holmes. Buf is beat up in the secondary so look for Holmes to get open often
I have Coles too Mo, and I cant justify playing him against that D for a QB first start.
luckily it's only my 3rd wideout
im starting eric johnson over tony gonzalez today....is that dumb?
Johnson got the ball a lot in week one, and the Bears should limit Gonzalez. So I'd say no. It's not dumb.
thanks buddie
I personally think Gonzalez is done as a fantasy stud at his position. There are a lot of middle-of-the-pack TEs I'd snag before him in a draft, as I think his value is about the same anymore. Eric Johnson is one of those. I don't think the game against the Colts is an indicator of who the Saints will use him all year, but he still has a much better chance to produce week-to-week than Gonzalez, as he should be in a rediculous offense.
I saw this under "key matchups" on PE.com, and I'm feeling good about starting Cooley:
Quote
SLB Gocong vs. TE Cooley
The taterskins will put Cooley in motion, run behind him, use him as a decoy to open up space for the wide receiver and is also QB Jason Campbell's favorite target.

After last year, I'm a Ronnie Brown hater. I would stay with Jones Drew, although it wouldn't be inconceivable to think that Chris Brown will get yards against the saints.
Just had a trade proposed to me last night.
Even though I realize that:
Stephen Jackson cant stay this low for this long.

I have MJD as well in a PPR league. I also have Portis, LJ, and Chris Brown. I think I'm going to bench MJD this week and go with Portis against the Giants. For some strange reason the Jaguars don't want to run the ball any longer, and going they are going into Denver. I think MJD will be much better as the season goes on, same time last season, the Jags had the same amount of rushing yards they do at this point in the season, and then broke out in week 3.
I think given your other options, you might want to stick with MJD. Denver should take away all the deep stuff, so they might wind up dumping it off to Jones-Drew a lot in that game, if you don't like that, out of what's left, I'd go with Ronnie Brown.

these running backs are tough just for the fact they are all running back by committee. So you would have to go IMO with the guy who is the legit starter in R. Brown. Although, Im not completely sold on him right now because of that O-line, and they have been behind both games throwing their asses off. I do though think Miami keeps it real close this week and possibly win, for these 2 teams battle every year
Betts (6 carries), Brown and Drew (10 carries). Thats not going to get it done, and your crossing your fingers for a TD somewhere, rather than looking for opportunities to touch the football. R Brown only had 11 carries, but they were getting their asses handed to them and the game was out of reach to run the ball

Thanks guys. Thats all I needed to hear. Now all I have to do is figure out who to play at WR next to chad:
Boldin @ BAL
Welker vs BUF
Mason vs Ari
Jackson @ GB
Porter vs CLE
Welker or Porter, probably Welker.
@BAL is not a place for a guy to get untracked.
Mason's been weak so far and is more of a between the 20's possession guy.
The SD passing game is definitely not something to bank on right now.

I can play 2 (potentially 3) next to Chad, so maybe both :)
Which RB would you bench to play both of them?
I think Porter could be open a lot, but the QB situation in Oakland is sketchy. Most 2nd-tier RB's would still be a preferable start over him.

Right now my lineup is:
Romo
Chad Johnson, Anquan Boldin, Wes Welker
Steven Jackson, Edge, Marion Barber
Ben Watson
So, instead of boldin, I COULD play porter and hope for the big play. Porter only has 3 receptions, but one of them is a TD
Leave Porter on the bench.

I would go Ronnie Brown. Their passing game is shaping up and I think he will get some scoring opportunities.
I'm thinking about pitching a guy a trade, who is doing the worst in our league, hoping he is in panic mode.
Can start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 REC (WR/TE) 1 K, 1 DEF
PPR, 6 points for all TDs, 1 point for every 10 yards rushing/receiving, 1 point for every 25 passing.
My roster:
QB: P. Manning, Delhomme, Cutler
RB: Larry Johnson, Maurice Jones-Drew, Clinton Portis, Chris Brown, Jerious Norwood, Fred Taylor
WR/TE: Calvin Johnson, Braylon Edwards, Antonio Gates, Brandon Jones, Jeremy Shockey, Vernon Davis
K: Matt Stover
DEF: Chicago
His roster:
QB: Matt Hasselback, David Gerrard
RB: LaDanian Tomlinson, Adrian Peterson (MIN), Michael Turner, Ladell Betts, Derrick Ward, Brandon Jacobs, Cadillac Williams
WR/TE: Reggie Brown, Marvin Harrison, Steve Smith (CAR), Drew Bennett, Patrick Crayton, Devery Henderson
K: Olindo Mare
DEF: Raiders
I'm thinking of offering him Cutler (same bye as Manning, he'll never start), Portis or Jones-Drew, and Shockey for Steve Smith and Cadillac Williams.
Is it even worth offering? Bad idea to begin with??
he would be a fool to that because he would be giving up Steve Smith, and that leaves him squat to pair with Marvin Harrison
I doubt he would do it, but go for it
The question is, who do I offer in the trade.....Portis or Jones-Drew? Portis has shown much more the past two weeks, could have a solid season, but if the Jags get their running game on track, Jones-Drew would probably have more value....
I think Drew has the most value come mid-season. Portis doesn't look like the same back,with that burst he used to have going through the hole pre-injury. He kind of looks like hes just going through the motions collecting yards here and there. I do think he makes it through the season though, tendonitis or not.
I dont know why you want Cadillac Williams so bad. or do you just want Smith? I have him in 1 of my leagues, and I am very apprehensive on starting him. That guy just cant stay healthy for long periods of time, and your really rolling the dice on him.
Scratch the trade, keep your squad and work the waiver wire. Its early and someone special is about to burst on the scene...always does.
I couldn't really give a shtein about Cadillac. I'm just going to give him a RB, and I want one back.
I'm in a 20 league team that starts a qb, 3 wrs, 2 rbs, 1 te 1 wr/rb and 1 wr/te
Right now my starting lineup is
qb - penningston
rb1- LJ
rb2-ahman green
wr1- chambers
wr2 derrick mason
wr3 - jason avant
te - kellen winslow
wr/rb - marion barber III
wr/te greg olsen...
So, do I trade LJ for Javon Walker and Torry Holt??
Right now LJ has 27 fantasy points, Holt has 30, and Javon has 28. It's like a point per reception, and .3ish per carry.
You're a clown for even considering it.

I am looking. I see a lot of underrated defenses in Oakland, Green Bay, and Indianapolis. And I also see some good defenses thrown in there as well. Add that to the fact that everyone will be putting 8 in the box against LJ, and the fact that I no longer will be starting both Greg Olsen and Jason Avant, and I win the trade.

I only have SJ in one league, my work league. Luckly, it is the softest money league known to man.
How soft? Look at a sample of todays transactions (only names are edited)

9/24 Tony Gonzalez (KC - TE) Add PacosTeam
9/24 Jerry Porter (Oak - WR) Drop PacosTeam
9/24 Najeh Davenport (Pit - RB) Add DumbCoworkerTeam
9/24 Tony Gonzalez (KC - TE) Drop DumbCoworkerTeam
(Which is awesome for me. I have Ben Watson, and no back up. There is a TE spot and a WR/TE spot. So now I practically have no drop off on Watsons bye week, and can play Tony when my matchups at my #3 or #4 WR options suck. Plus, possible trade bait later on.)
Anyway, instead of pointing and laughing at that league and to get back on topic, I did manage to pick up Leonard. Do you think its worth playing him as a #3 RB (behind James and Barber III), or sit him?
I may start Leonard over Larry Johnson in the JABK league.

Larry Johnson

wow..tough call
I hate LJ this year, all year...just for the simple fact 8 men are in the box every game

Do you still use democracy for trade approvals? Because basically every trade got rejected last year, and it's not worth wasting our time discussing if it's still that way.

I am using a voting system, but requiring reasons for anti-trade votes this year to avoid last year's stupidity. It was kind of funny, and I enjoy people getting all angry about shtein, but it isn't really fair so it's going to be semi-democratic this year with me having the final say.
My 3rd receiver situation isn't much better than yours, but Bruce may be more consistent overall through the year than a TE or Clayton.
Consistently getting 3-5 points a week isn't really what I'm looking for. I think Cooley's fine in that regard.
I can't view the league from work, so you'll have to tell me what you have.
Not much in the way of WRs. Bruce and Avant right now. Possibly more pending waiver activity tomorrow. We can revisit tomorrow.

I disagree about Miami's run D. They are tied for the third worse in rushing yards allowed and TDs allowed. And Zach Thomas may not be back this sunday Sunday either.
(While Cleveland has allowed 10 more rushing ypg, they only gave up one rushing TD to Miami's 4.)

Thats what I origionally thought, only thing kept me from going with him in the first place is that he has yet to get into the end zone. Baltimore likes to throw the short pass to Heap when they get close to the goal line. Jordan has two td's and 280 yards in the last two games, but might have it tougher against Miami.
I just offered a guy in my league Jay Cutler for Jericho Cotchery.
I did this because I have Peyton Manning (same bye as Cutler), and Delhomme as my backup (should crack the lineup once if Peyton stays healthy). It's a PPR league, and my receivers (WR/TE same spot) suck. My lineup:
P. Manning
J. Delhomme
C. Portis
S. Morris
L. Johnson
M. Jones-Drew
F. Taylor
J. Norwood
A. Gates
B. Edwards
J. Shockey
B. Jones (TEN)
C. Johnson (DET)
M. Stover
DEF Bears
I figured I'd toss Cutler towards him because his QBs are Eli Manning, Schaub, and Derek Anderson. Think he'll bite? Is the trade retarded one way or the other?
If he takes the trade, you win.
Except then you have Cotchery, who is sure to have great days when you don't play him.
well, how many WR's are starting?
Alright I need to start two of the four
Hassleback vs. San Fran
God vs. Minny
Eli vs. us, thats right us ;D
Huard vs. San Diego
Ugly choices.
God and if Plax plays, Eli. If he don't, Hasslehoff.
Quote from: MURP on September 29, 2007, 01:07:33 AM
well, how many WR's are starting?
There are three slots. Can be a TE or a WR. 1 point per reception, 6 per TD.
who do you favor in this trade and by how much
team A gets
roddy white
tj housh
regie bush
bulger
team B gets
romo
lee evans
mcgahee
Team A, but not by much.
With McAllister out, Bush has the advantage over McGahee.
The QB situation is shady in Buffalo at best, so Housh is light years ahead of Evans.
Romo obviously has been great thus far and it might continue... but Bulger should also step up, and I'd wager the difference between the two will not be too great from here on out. That said, Romo definitely has a LOT more value than Bulger right now, and if the team giving up Romo is going to have to play Bulger every week, it might not be pretty.
I didn't even factor in Roddy White. He's done some things but is still borderline waiver wire material, IMO.
team a qb's would be bulger and (http://www.philaflava.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_twrex_ROFLburger.gif)
btw the league is a reception league with no flex players if that makes a difference to anyone
Bulger is being shut down, that's why i didn't accept that trade when donkey proposed it to me
bulger is irrelevant to me...i woudlnt have started him anyway
basically the trade for me would be
bush housh and (http://www.philaflava.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_twrex_ROFLburger.gif)
for
romo
evans
mcgahee
Yep, Team A definitely has the better of that deal, even giving up Romo.
Here's a fun one...I've got 2 WR slots, 2 RB slots, and W/R slot. So pick the best 5 out of these guys...
Nate Washington
Dennis Northcutt
Nate Burleson
Derrick Ward
Julius Jones
Arron Stecker
Selvin YOung
Ladell Betts
Yes, due to injuries and this team beinjg a 14 team league, those are my choices. Hines Ward is probably going back into my lineup if he plays this week. But if not, pick 5 of those guys.

I have a bit of a dilemma today.
Do I start David Garrard (Jaguars) against Kansas City or Phillip Rivers (Chargers) against Denver?
The way I look at it San Diego is poised for a breakout game and the Jaguars don't usually fare well on the road and Kansas City's defense has been excellent this year. On the other hand, Denver is second in the league against the pass and Rivers has been shaky at best thus far.
Toss up?

You're playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded pistol.
I had the same two options in one league and went with Garrard.
I'm truly horrendous at fantasy football, but in other news, Rivers gets the start for my money league.
In short, you're farged in the ass hard either way.
My instinct is to go with Rivers but because of Sassy's incredibly insightful commentary I'm going with Garrard instead.
You rule, dook.
I do rule. I have the golden boy Tom Brady as my QB so I'm not faced with the tough decisions associated with choosing between middle of the pack QB's. :P
Rivers is 3/5 for 68 yards and a rushing touchdown already and it's not even the second quarter yet. :-D
Garrard played very well today but his stats were pedestrian. 20/27 for 218 yards and a touchdown. Not great but not a total disaster either.
Here's hoping Rivers gets picked off 20 times from here on out.

270 yds, 3 total td's. :-D

Yeah, he didn't do ish for me this week either. This was a rough week for me. My #1 reciever (Chad Johnson had a bye so I'm stuck with Crayton and Calvin Johnson. My best running back had a bye (Lamont Jordan) so I started Jamal Lewis in his place and he left the game after 1 play. Clinton Portis must be in Gibbs' doghouse or something because he pulls him off the field any time the Skins get near the redzone. And then there's Lendale White....... :boom
If it wasn't for Tom Brady, Dallas Clark and the Pitt def, I'd be blown out this week. Need Crayton to step up big again tomorrow night and Robbie Gould to hit a couple more FG's tonight.
fitting that i just dropped derrick ward so i can get greg jennings (hes been good for 3 weeks now), but jennings just leaves the game with another injury right after i do it. i might need ward next week, even though hes splitting carries. farg.
derrick mason has 21 catches in the last two weeks....start him

HALF tonight.
Don't ever say my team sucks again, bish. Ever.

this was my team in week 1:
bulger, harrison, evans, branch, addai, mccalister, heap, rackers, ne d
this is my team for week 6:
derek anderson, mason, jennings, ike farging hilliard, sammy morris, ???, heap/owen daniels, rackers, ne d/???
so now i ask you idiots, with some scenarios:
first, if heap plays i drop daniels for: chris brown, lendale white, jamal lewis/jason wright, julius jones (if westbrook doesnt go i obviously pick up buck)
but if heap is a no go do i drop either bulger or evans to get that rb?
finally, is it worth it drop bulger or evans to pick up seattle (home to no) or tampa (home to titans) defense and get a better matchup than ne's at dallas?
thx lov u lol
Dont know why your considering dropping Owen Daniels. Hes becoming a favorite target for Schaub over the middle, hes their leading receiver(targeted alot) and LB's are having a hard time with him. Heap will have injuries all year long...always does
J. Lewis I dont think is playing this week, so Wright has a respectable match-up against Miami.
No Tennessee RB is recommended this week @ Tampa
Julius Jones is in no-mans land right now
Evans' season is all but done with teams game-planning him
I'd keep Bulger around for the second half of the season. He will be playing from behind all year passing the ball
GL
for real...owen daniels was the top waiver request in our league this week
yea im trying to trade todd heap but theres only 2 teams need a te, and a trade for a rb is unlikely
There is uncertainty by Carolina that David Carr will play this week. If he doesnt play this weekend, Vinnie Testaverde will get the start.
Run. Don't walk to the waiver wire
Who wins this potential trade?
Team A would give up Boldin & Marion Barber
Team B would give up B. Westbrook & C. Johnson
If the trade went through, regular starting lineups would be:
Team A:
T. Brady
J. Campbell
B. Westbrook
L. White
R. Moss
B. Edwards
K. Winslow
S. Gostkowski
Steelers D
Bench:
S. Jackson
M. Bulger
B. Leonard
K. Keith
C. Johnson
Team B:
K. Warner
V. Young
M. Lynch
M. Barber
T. Owens
A. Boldin
H. Miller
N. Rackers
Ravens D
Bench:
D. Garrard
D. Foster
L. Jordan
D. Rhodes
S. Young
J. Porter
QB difference is the only thing I see off-balanced = Brady wins
other than that its fairly equal
MDS, you seriously need to swing a trade. A lot those guys (Bulger, Evans, etc.) still have trade value. You might be able to ge a couple of decent players in a trade. Dropping one of those players does you zero good, and they'll likely get snatched up and stashed away on someone's roster until later, when you'll kick yourself.
Okay. Portis @ GB, MJD @ HOU, or Vernand Morency vs. WAS. PPR league.
Maroney is out again. Do I go with Portis @ GB, MJD vs. HOU, Morency vs. WAS, or Sammy Morris @ DAL? I'm leaning towards Morris, dude has been money for me the past couple weeks.
i'm staying with Morris until he fargs me.
(http://images.contactmusic.com/images/reviews/snatch.jpg)

Praise allah Sammy Morris starts again!
Maybe. Sirius is still reporting he's a gametime decision pending a pre-game warm up. My other options (MJD and Portis) are starting at 1PM, so I won't probably know for sure until after they start. I'm thinking that even if Maroney does play, he's going to see limited touches, so I think I will stick with Morris. My luck Portis and MJD will have banner days, while Morris and Maroney do a 50/50. farglesticks.
no its done. maroney out again.

I'm in 3 leagues. My combined record is 14-4.
I'm about to go to 4-2 in my only money league.
Adrian Peterson for MVP.
I knew my game this week was really close so I manually added up the scores last night. I was down by 6 before the Sunday Night game. I had Hasselbeck, he had Alexander and Josh Brown. If Hasselbeck does good and Alexander doesn't I win. Obviously that happened.
Except I forgot that Green Bay's defense (who he had) scored a TD. I lost by 3 points.
Thinking of doing a trade to upgrade my recievers. I can start three, can be a WR or a TE. Was going to offer Portis for Donald Driver straight up. Good deal?
My backfield:
Larry Johnson
Jones-Drew
Portis
Sammy Morris
V. Morency
Fred Taylor
Jerious Norwood

Braylon Edwards
Antonio Gates
Calvin Jonson
Jeremy Shockey
Brandon Jones
give lee evans one more shot (home vs. ravens with trent edwards at qb) or nate burleson (home vs. rams, #2 option).
Burleson. The Rams defense is farging terrible. Evans would have to show me something in a game first before I start him and get two points in a WR slot again.

I'd look at this as a good thing.
Mo,
MJD is running superb right now, but if you look closely at the last 2 games--he had 2 long runs of 50+. That doesnt happen every week especially when Taylor is playing well right now and splitting carries. Not to mention, if Jacksonville gets down points they have to pass which loses touches for both RB's (ex:Tampa Bay)
Like Westbrook alot against the Bears. The Bears have shown severe weakness against the run and safety positions, Urlacher is not the same, which "should" allow the Eagles to advance the ball
Brown = top RB in the league behind LT by a yard. Would you sit LT against NE?

so why are you so gung ho about starting a wr from an enemic offense
im scared of not playing lee evans and having him get like three touchdowns just because i think hes due...last year he did the same thing...started slow then had like four multiple touchdown games
why do you think lee evans will break out with a rookie qb against a top defense?
Quote from: reese125 on October 17, 2007, 10:18:43 AM
Mo,
MJD is running superb right now, but if you look closely at the last 2 games--he had 2 long runs of 50+. That doesnt happen every week especially when Taylor is playing well right now and splitting carries. Not to mention, if Jacksonville gets down points they have to pass which loses touches for both RB's (ex:Tampa Bay)
Like Westbrook alot against the Bears. The Bears have shown severe weakness against the run and safety positions, Urlacher is not the same, which "should" allow the Eagles to advance the ball
Brown = top RB in the league behind LT by a yard. Would you sit LT against NE?
that was my thinking last week too, and then my highest scorer was left on the bench. i've actually been trying to trade MJD at his high value for a qb, because that's the weak spot on my team, but so far no takers

because mason leads the league in receptions and its all about opportunities touching the ball
the due factor is overrated even for Lee Evans IGY. Why would you play a guy who hasnt shown he can get the ball thrown to him and hes playing one of the best defenses in the league..because he's due? Not my thinking, but go for it
i just had someone offer me Roethlisberger for MJD straight up
that would leave me with no viable backup at rb, which is not great for having Westbrook, but i would upgrade from Schaub to Roethisberger at QB, my new lineup would be:
Roethlisberger
R. Moss
R. Williams
Coles
Westbrook
Brown
Shockey
is that better than
Schaub
and the option of the 3 backs?
btw...just so no one accuses me of only listening to everyone else, my opinion is that ROFLburger isn't enough of an upgrade to do it
the way I look at it is:
Schaub is plenty capable of moving that offense and he will have A. Johnson back. Will he be at full strength and contribute like he did the 1st 2 games..Id bet on it? They have a very mediocre running game and are usually behind so that means he throws more yards and possible TD's
I wouldnt say Roth is that good of an upgrade, especially if Taylor gets hurt (which he usually does around week 10 or so). MJD might be your only option then--and a good one at that
i read somewhere that Andre Johnson is still at least 2 weeks out, i also picked up Garrard, who actually has more fantasy points than Schaub right now.
(http://www.philaflava.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_twrex_ROFLburger.gif) is on pace for 30 td's schaub might get twenty is hes lucky and has as many ints as td's
schaub is a great nfl back up and not a very good fantasy starter
a starting qb >>>>>>>>> a back up running back
Quote from: SunMo on October 17, 2007, 11:34:11 AM
i read somewhere that Andre Johnson is still at least 2 weeks out
I hope so. I have to play Andre Davis this week now that Chambers has a bye.
when and if dre comes back he wont be 100% anyway
not about who is better--its obvious, its about who Mo will be left with if any of his RB's get hurt--which this year has been astronomical. MJD is a starter, especially not if, but when Taylor gets hurt
2nd half of the fantasy season is when champs are crowned. Keep your boy Mo
playing on the chance someone might get hurt is being a Hoyda
making a move to upgrade your starting lineup is the move of a champ
oooh lets be careful and safe and stay against mommies bosom until age 21....or lets start drinking and destroying hyman in 3rd grade
ifs and maybes are the words of losers
Look at Taylors history, then we will talk. If you play fantasy, then you should know that if you dont have a reliable back up your chances of being f'ed are pretty good
Man, for someone that claims to suck at fantasy football, you sure have alot to say about it
who do you think is trying to get MJD for Rothlisberger?
makes sense then..haha

you actually know less about fantasy than real football...i would have never thought that possible
this week when (http://www.philaflava.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_twrex_ROFLburger.gif) is scoring 10-15 more pts than schaub...while mjd puts exactly zero pts into his lineup the trade will be making all kinds of sense
you dont not make a trade that can help you immediately for something that might not even happen
btw way taylor has missed 8 games in the last six years....hes not exactly donovan mcnabb

Interesting big guy. Take a look at my advice in this thread and see what players produced that week. Then after your done there, take a look and see who is the one asking for advice in this thread on who to start. Feeling dumb yet?
Good luck

Im gonna be that guy for Halloween
MJD for Rothlisburger straight up is trash. Sorry IGY.
Taylor is going to be sold for glue at the end of the season, and his role is going to diminish more each week, and by the way, he's already hurt. His groin locked up on him last week and he hit the pine for the second half. Another 20pt week from MJD puts him solidly in RB1 territory, and Burger doesn't equal that. Sweeten the pot.
except he gets exactly zero pts for sun...meanwhile has the worst qb in the entire league
i dont care if hes ladainian....if hes not in your lineup then hes worthless
again
a starting qb >>>>>>>> a back up rb
if he wants to start mjd then perhaps theres an argument but until then an upgrade at the starting qb position and a downgrade at the back up running back position would would benefit his team....i dont believe in sitting around with three starters and only two starting spots...theres no fame in having the best back ups in the league
for example if i trade (http://www.philaflava.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_twrex_ROFLburger.gif) you know who my back up qb is.....he name is i wont have one...but i dont care cause id rather improve a starting position than have a good back up
My WRs are terrible...so pick 3 of these 5 retards to start.

Honestly Wing, all of these guys are complete toss-ups, but if I had to pick:
Burleson--Branch is still out
Lee Evans-your only #1 receiver out of the group
Northcutt--has the most yards out of the remaining and highest avg per reception
McDonald is a trendy pick but Calvin Johnson is back now
Jenkins = junk

The thing I am saying is the MJD right now has much more value as a starting RB than ROFLberger. If he wants to make a move for a QB and use MJD, he should be getting and decent starting QB and another player....

I would go MJD. Play it like the Denver backs. Any hard-pressed offensive running team can have their way with the Colts, and the Jags are very good on the ground.
ARI also shut down W. Parker. I am not sold on Portis at all this year until he does something worth watching. The taterskins offense plays like the Jets offense. Short dump passes, with little runs here and there, but with better clock management

Portis has been decent so far this year but Gibbs seems to pull him whenever the Skins are anywhere close to the goal line. I'd go with MJD. I think he's got more big play potential than Portis and with his big body, he's a goal line option as well for the Jags.
Quote from: reese125 on October 19, 2007, 09:50:43 AM

The Eagles also shut down LT once a couple years back. Doesn't mean that I still wouldn't have started any runningback going up against them. Arizona stopped Parker because their coach just left Pittsburgh so he might have had just a little bit of inside knowledge about them.
Right advice, wrong reason.
kenny watson gonna start sunday. i dropped kevin faulk for him, which might be risky.
did they bench rudi or is he hurt
listed as doubtful and hasnt practiced all week...so go for it ifs there
way ahead of you youngin....i picked him up yesterday
his production can be compounded for me if he steals touchdowns from palmer and tj hoosh, considering thats pretty much all the other guy has who im playing.
ill be shocked if he scores a touchdown
i have the awesome decision of starting him or brian leonard
id go waston. seattle is fixin for a blowout after their stinker against new orleans.
Not only that, but St Louis will probably be playing from behind all game long which will take away carries from Leonard.
I actually think this game will be closer than people think
dont be surprised if Travis Minor gets the majority of the carries against Seattle
(http://www.philaflava.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_twrex_ROFLburger.gif) = 26.58 pts
matt schaub = .58 pts

Schaub got hurt in the game big guy

I think Tom Brady scores roughly 40% of my team's fantasy points each week. Right now I'm sitting around 128 and Brady has 50 of them.

Well, he's changed his tune now. The skins are now the team that's finally going to put a scare into the Patriots.
so an offense like the jets offense is going to keep up with the patriots....nice

Let me repeat: YOU WILL NEVER MEET ME IGY. Get my cork out of your mouth Tarzan...unless you really want to swallow my man that bad
I was deciding to start either Schaub or Bulger. Went with Schaub, who played like 10 downs and got 0.92 pts. Bulger played the entire game and lost 1.00 pts. I rule.

I got Jesse Chatman in 3/4 leagues. Sunny Cakes beat me to the punch in the AFC, the ass that he is.
who is jesse chatmen
Ronnie Brown's backup. And since he is out for the year, a starting running back.
perhaps ill try to get him tomorrow when the waiver picks are due in our league
Perhaps that would be a good idea.
hey icehole...i was going to try and sneak that under IGY's farging nose...thanks big mouth

Coach Tony Dungy indicated Tuesday that Joseph Addai will continue to lose significant carries to Kenton Keith after they essentially split time Monday night.
"Kenton's played well and we want to get him in there," Dungy said. "I think we're developing more and more confidence in him. Joseph missing the week before may have had a little something to do with it but more and more I think having those guys go and keeping those guys fresh is going to be good for our running game." Addai remains the clear No. 1 back, but losing even 10 touches per game to Keith would drop his fantasy value.
aint this a bitch
This past week, in my money league, some clown dropped Andre Davis and Roddy White. My WR/TEs such, especially this past weekend with Edwards and Gates on byes. I snatched them up. He picked up Cooley and Michael Bennett. White and Davis got me a combined 46 points, while Cooley got him 1.3. I sent him a nice thank you note.
I guess its back to Harrington now since Leftwhich is getting ankle surgery
The ankle surgery is going to bring him back faster, probably two weeks. Doesn't matter, White will still make catches with Joey tosssing it around.
you're bragging that you snagged roddy white? your team must be shtein.
ha...seriously roddy white doesnt even crack my starting lineup and my team is shtein
In case you guys didnt know, he is 9th in the league in yards and above Holt, R. Wayne, Boldin, S. Smith and Roy Williams, etc in points
put his name and the team to the side, and look how much he gets thrown to. Hes by far worth a flyer in bye weeks and as a 3rd WR
I was talking about using him during a bye week. I had Braylon Edwards and Antonio Gates on byes, so I needed someone. Roddy White, depending on the matchup has been pretty decent, especially in a PPR league (he's average 5+ catches and 60+ yards a game.
In regards to my team being shtein, not so much. It was a move I made during a rough week that panned out, nothing more, except for the fact that it kept me solidly in first place.
Anyway, have a proposed trade in my league (not my team):
Team A gives Cedrick Benson and Laverneus Coles
Team B gives Marion Barber and Bobby Engram
Team A has Ahman Green, Kenny Watson, and Rudi Johnson for RBs, and Housh, Cotchery and Holt for WRs.
Team B has Willie Park, and McGahee for RBs, and Colston, Chambers, Wayne, Dallas Clark and Tony Gonzalez (it's a 3 Rec league).
Fair?
In case you guys didnt know, he is 9th in the league in yards and above Holt, R. Wayne, Boldin, S. Smith and Roy Williams, etc in points
hes gonna drop about 15 spots in fantasy pt rankings after his bye week sunday
Hes by far worth a flyer in bye weeks and as a 3rd WR
lol...settle down skippy...no one anywhere said he wasnt worth picking up
should i start both kenton kieth and joe addai, or go with my new bossman jesse chatman?
Starting two backs on the same team = death.

Kenny Watson vs. Pit or Jesse Chatman vs. NYG
Rudi against Pit:
2006- both games under 50 yards, 0 td
2005- 12 for 65, 21 for 98 and 2 td (both off short drives), 13 for 56
2004- 24 for 123 and 1 td, 16 for 62
Running against the Giants:
jones/barber 131 combined with td
wynn/jackson 85 combined with 2 td
portis 63 with td
buckhalter 103
thomas jones 36
norwood/dunn zilch except for long td run
gore 88
also the only rb with a semi-decent day against the steelers run defense was edge james' 21 for 77 and 1 td. but, the bengals do throw a lot of screens and dump offs and this is a ppr league.
im leaning towards chatman simply because the miami offense is so inept theyll only be forced to try and run it/do dinky screens.
why even take the time to wrote a novel of lop-sided RB comparisons when you clearly made your mind up
Bye week spots.
Who starts? PPR league.
Calvin Johnson @ Chicago
Andre Davis @ San Diego
It's very close, but I'd go with Davis. He's likely to end up with more looks.
harrison out, so:
drop kris brown and pick up anthony gonzalez, then pick up mason crosby for mnf
or
drop kris brown tomorrow and pick up brandon stoakly for mnf
my qb choices for one of teams today are culpepper or schaub...ech
i'm going culpepper because i'm not convinced that schaub will start and finish the game
QB
Rivers @ Vikings
or
Hasselbeck @ Browns
WR - 1 spot
Devery Henderson vs Jags
Northcutt @ Saints
McDonald vs Broncos
Burlerson @ Browns
I'd go with Hasselbeck. The Brown pass defense is complete shtein.
Holy shtein. Those are some shtein WRs. Shaun McDonald.
I'm in a 12-team money league with several first time fantasy players and have almost 150 points more than the second place team. check out this starting lineup.

I think it's fair to say you speak for everyone on that.
i just made a big trade in IGY's league...
I gave up: Randy Moss, Maurice Jones-Drew, Lav Coles, Kurt Warner
I get: Derek Anderson, Adrian Peterson, Kevin Curtis, and Brandon Marshall
I've been a man without a quarterback all year, bouncing between Young, Schaub, Culpepper, and picking Warner this week. In spite of that, I'm 5-2 and in 2nd place because I have Westbrook and had Ronnie Brown, and obviously Moss. With Brown going down, I knew I needed a QB or I would be dead in the water.
My current starting lineup is now:
QB - Anderson
RB - Westbrook
RB - Peterson (Warrick Dunn on bench)
WR - Roy Williams
WR - Curtis
WR - Marshall (Andre Davis, Kevin Walter on bench)
TE - Ben Watson (Jeremy Schockey, Alge Crumpler on bench)
i've been negotiating this trade all week and the other guy wanted Williams as well as Moss but I couldn't do that, he finally broke down on that demand the deal was made.
any thoughts are welcome.
You may have issues at WR, and you're DEAD if Peterson goes down. Sounds a lot like my own "Flowering Flatulence" team.
you gave up moss AND coles to get farging derek anderson and upgrade slighty at rb
craziness
if anderson continues his pace which is a gigantic if it might turn out to be a wash

I think you might of made out Mo. No doubt about it, Anderson is a solid pick-up. If you look at his remaining schedule, he could be up for some very big numbers against some very mediocre secondarys the last half of the season. So you have to hope he continues to excel and he makes up for the numbers your going to be hurting for with Moss now out of your line-up. The good thing is the Browns offense right now is on time
I think Coles might have a tough time the rest of the year with Clemens at the helm. He seems to favor Cotchery from what I saw when he was playing..so you might of made a good move there.
Jones Drew/Peterson = edge goes to Peterson obviously and strength of remaining defenses on the schedule is almost equivalent from what I saw
Looking at it from a points perspective, if you add up Moss (18) and Jones-Drew (12) avg pts per game and Peterson (19) and Anderson (24), you made out in the trade. Just pray to god nobody gets injured and you get some kind of consistent production from R. Williams
GL
God only cares about your fantasy team if you pray to Him about it.
i did, but now i have white lumps on my tongue
its all about match-ups mo
Ahman Green or Najeh Davenport.
Peterson is available in this league. Thought about dropping one for him.
Green is the starter..roll with him
Dav might not even get the ball
Tough one for me.
McNabb vs the Turds
or
Roethlisberger vs Baltimore

He could get the ball inside the Red Zone 'cuase Willie has trouble getting in the end zone on 1st, 2nd and goal. I read that Steelers were not afraid to go to him at the goal line.
Green has been hurt which is the only real reason I'm contemplating this.
Kubiak stated that Green looked great this week in practice. He could lose some carries to Echemandu, but I think majority of carries will go to Green
Id rather count on a starter then a back-up "possibly" getting the ball....but its up to u
GL
Thanks
Another league, Green or McGahee for Balt. going agaisnt Pitt's D?
Anyone on? I have a little time to make my decision...but not very much.
McNabb or Roethlisberger??
My head says Roethlisberger, but my heart says Roethlisberger.
I give up Calvin Johnson and Clinton Portis and I get Randy Moss.
My concern in doing this is that I have Larry Johnson, and his status is iffy. My other RBs and WR/TEs (can consume the same slot) are:
MJD
Fred Taylor
Jerious Norwood
Maurice Morris
Ladell Betts
Larry Johnson
Braylon Edwards
Antonio Gates
Roddy White
D.J. Hackett
If Larry Johnson is done for the season, my number one RB becomes Maurice Jones Drew, and after that it's a clusterfarg. However, my WRs would be farging silly.
Can't... decide.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v605/Gautie9/wtf.jpg)
Gotta pick one of these running backs, since Larry Johnson has been farging me all season:
MJD vs. TEN (horrible matchup, and Gerrard is probably out again)
Maurice Morris vs. SF (Hoping Alexander doesn't play, but he's a game time decision so I won't know until well after MJD plays since SEA is the MNF game)
Then one of the following:
Calvin Johnson vs. ARI
D.J. Hackett vs. SF
Roddy White vs. CAR

TEN - DT Haynesworth OUT per ESPN
Summary: ESPN is reporting that Titans DT Albert Haynesworth is out for today's game. That's good news for the Jaguar running and passing game.
Guess I'll go with MJD. Still need some input on my trash WRs.
Both of my league games have gone final since in neither me or either of my opponents have anyone going in the MNF game.
I lost both games this week... by a combined 2 farging points. Bullshtein. :boom
the guy I played in IGY's league had Donovan and Reggie Wayne and put up 136
and i put up 144 because i had Derek Andersen, Westbrook, Roy Williams, and Shockey
yay me!
if i win this week im in the playoffs (if the season ended sunday) after an 0-3 start

bwahaha...farging funny
I'd go with Rothlisberger, Crayton, and McGahee
Romo, Mason if it is PPR, if not, Crayton (Racists' secondary is in shambles), and McGahee, who sucks. GL.
In one of my leagues, I went into the sunday night game down 92 farging points. 92!
Thanks to Brady, Moss and Gostkowski... I'm now down 3, with LenDale White still to go tonight against the worst run D in the league. :-D
pick 3:
jennings @ det
mason @ sd
branch @ stl
evans @ jax
jennings
mason
evans
Jennings is a must play guy every week unless your team is ridiculous. I'd go with Evans and Branch.
branch played last week for the first time in a while. not sure if he is 100%, but he is improving. sucks that harrison has been a waste except for week 2.
He's not at 100%, but he still had about as many yards as Mason, and the Seahawks are one of the most pass-happy teams out there with Alexander inactive.
Sit Lee Evans.
Chad Johnson vs Tenn
Stallworth vs Iggles
id go with ocho....stallworth sometimes disappears because moss and/or welker will take catches and td's from him
#1 wr > #3 wr
Any other week and I'm not asking this question. But the Titans do have a pretty good defense and there is a little revenge factor working for Stallworth. Ocho Cinco's been getting me plenty of yards this year (950) but very few td's (3).
you asked
i told
Kolby Smith vs. OAK
Maurice Morris vs. STL
Jones-Drew vs. Buffalo
I'm going with Portis against TB as my #1 this week, but I'm not even sure he's a better option than two of the above.
MM and MJD would be my picks.
I can't disagree...but OAK is awful against the rush...
yeah, yahoo is predicting about 14 points for smith this week, he's a tough bench
i was going to ask the same question...i have Westbrook going #1, then my #2 choices are:
Earnest Graham vs Washington
Dunn vs Indy
Smith vs Oakland
Quote from: SunMo on November 22, 2007, 05:14:52 PM

im sorry you're going to lose this week and miss the playoffs
why do you hurt me?
we all hurt the ones we love
Kolby Smith blowing up...126 yards, 2 TD in 3 quarters
I changed him in for Ruben Droughns at the last minute. I rule.
i added him in two leagues, but started him in only one...
another week another no one cares who yous started
we do care about your cffl afc team, though. update?

:deion
in my league if i win this week...then i have a do or die win and youre in game next week
thoughts on my wr's for sunday
2 of the following 3 in a ppr league
lee evans @ racists
santana moss vs buff
derrick mason vs ne
3 ugly choices there. Evans once again has Trent Edwards as his quarterback, which instantly reduces his value 50%+. Moss is gimpy, but so is the Bills secondary. Mason gets a ton of receptions but never gets TDs in that lame Ravens offense.
I think Moss and Mason are the better two choices, with Mason being the best choice of the three. The Ravens will likely be playing from behind against NE, so his number will be frequently called.
thanks g...unless something changes with moss heel i will go with your suggestions
Need a flex player:
Portis vs Buffalo
Calvin Johnson @ Minn
farg if I know. Portis.
Well, on the bright side I started Tutupu in the CFFFL league. Yay.... :puke

its ride or die this week for me
at first, i didn't want you to win and get in...but upon further review, you are the best chance to keep funk from repeating, so i guess i want you in.
sorry...theres no room left on the bandwagon
don't worry, i wasn't getting off the Ol' Puddin express
Sidney Rice what!?
3 games for the 3peat:
mason vs. ind
evans vs. mia
this is a ppr league.
So I haven't consulted you clowns once this year and that has resulted in my worst fantasy football season in recent memory. Please accept my begrudging apologies. Dicks.
This is my dilemma this week:
Dwayne Bowe vs Champ Bailey and Denver
Bryant Johnson vs Seattle
Do your worst...
lol at having to remind people that champ bailey is on denver
go with johnson if boldin and/or fitzgerald are out....plus he went to penn state
He did?
I think I'm going to expand my question.
I need to play 3 of these 4 guys:
Owens (lock)
Bowe
Lee Evans
B. Johnson
Evans and his QB hate each other, but its December and he's playing Miami so I figured he's a start... whatever. Just give me your thoughts jerks.
champ baileys on denver....thus your decision is made
Boldin might not play and Fitzgerald is looking at his first week back from injury. Owens, Johnson, Lee Evans.
farg Lee Evans
Need some quick help, if you're interested.
First week of playoffs for me....who would you start.
Thomas Jones or Marshawn Lynch
and
Kevin Curtis or Roddy White or Greg Jennings (Which two)?
Don't start Curtis.
Playoff time, bitches
Aaron Stecker vs. Arz
Kolby Smith vs. Ten
I'm facing the first place guy with Brady, LT and Peterson. So...it may just be pointless.
Kolby Smith.
You asked.
How in the farg did you even make the playoffs with Stecker and Smith on your roster?.......especially since we now know you don't have Brady.
Regardless, I'm glad to know we won't be taking any questions from you next week.
Aaron Stecker vs. Arz
Kolby Smith vs. Ten
thats a true coin flip
in a do or die game last week i won by three points because i was playing carson palmer who had .50 in our league...i also got a combined 30 pts from merrimen and kearny
now i as well face brady with the same wr issues ive had all year
two of these four:
santana moss @ nyg
derrick mason @ mia
lee evans @ cle
patrick crayton vs phi
IGY, I'd probably go with Evans and Crayton.
fyi - i have romo and TO...do i still go with crayton?
if its a ppr league go with mason. miami isnt good enough to blow people out and mason always seems to go 7 for 75 even though his qbs blow.
Quote from: ice grillin you on December 12, 2007, 10:27:00 AM
fyi - i have romo and TO...do i still go with crayton?
In that case, no. Too many eggs in one basket. Go with Mason instead.
thanks buddie
normally a no brainer for me, but Adrian Peterson had 14 carries for 3 yards last week and that scared the shtein out of me and Earnest Graham is playing out of his mind lately...
pick 2 to start from these 3:
Westbrook at Dallas
Peterson vs Chicago
Graham vs Atl
my wideouts, pick 3 (garbage):
sidney rice vs chicago
anthony gonzalez at oaktown
curtis at dallas
furrey at San Diego
if you dont play peterson this week youre the biggest pussee ever and guaranteed to lose...you traded your whole team for him and youre playing the team that made the trade with you...HOW DO YOU NOT PLAY HIM
lol at your wr's
those wideouts are abortion worthy. play gonz and pick the other 2 out of a hat, they all suck any ways.
not playing peterson is borderline retarded, same goes for westbrook. you should have traded graham for a wr when you had the chance.
i actually traded a wr for graham when peterson got hurt because i didn't know how long he would be out and it was right at the trade deadline
i started the year with Moss, Roy Williams, and Coles
and that's how i ended up
the other thing that scares me about Peterson is that he crucified the Bears last time and they certainly won't let him do it them again.
you cant give up randy moss for someone that doesnt make your starting lineup in a playoff game
karma will bite you in the ass if you dont play peterson this week...talk yourself out of it all you want...but if you wanna win you have to start ap
on slightly the same subject, is it right for me to pull the plug on kevin jones in favor of aaron stecker? jones has been good, but im essentially convinced detroit is going to be demolished in san diego.
Not playing Peterson is as bad as not playing Brady. One bad week and everyone becomes a Hoyda.
Quote from: QB Eagles on December 14, 2007, 05:59:16 PM
Not playing Peterson is as bad as not playing Brady. One bad week and everyone becomes a Hoyda.
The big difference though is that Brady's "bad" week still netted him like 28 points. Unless you count the bye week as a bad week.
But yeah, play AP against the Bears. And play AP against the Vikings too. It's a win win.
In the palyoffs, and my WRs are farging gimp. Need to pick two of the following:
Roddy White @ TB
Calvin Johnson @ SD
Antonio Gates @ DET
While I'm at it, here are my RBs, have to start two:
Portis @ NYG
Norwood @ TB
Jones-Drew @ PIT
Taylor @ PIT
K. Smith @ TEN
M. Morris @ CAR
farged.
so i'm in the finals in one of my two money leagues, 12 team league, and i have a pretty solid squad. brady, LT, chad johnson, marshawn lynch, earnest graham.
i'm thinking about starting kurt warner over brady in the final game just to be a cocky bastich.
i need some serious help on a huge call i have to make tommorow:
romo and his injured thumb at carolina or (http://www.philaflava.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_twrex_ROFLburger.gif) at stl
also two of these four wr's
derrick mason @ sea
lee evans vs nyg
santana moss @ minn
patrick crayton @ car
big ben.
if dallas is whomping on carolina like they should romo won't play the entire game to rest his thumb for the playoffs.
good point...i think ive been going with ben the whole time but im looking for reasons not to start him cause he plays tomorrow night and if he shteins the bed then im probably done on thursday which really sucks
Ben.
@ those WR's... Yuck. My gut says Evans and Moss.

I like the latter here. Heres the dilemma you could face IG's. Willie Parker could have a field day against that disgusting STL run defense, thus forcing Ben not to pass for too many yards because he might not have to. On the other side, Carolina has very weak secondary while their front four has been stout the past several weeks (aside from JAX--but nobody cant stop them) forcing Dallas to throw regardless.
I think Romo bounces back as he enters these last weeks here headed into the playoffs, and I cant see Owens having back to back bombs. The Dallas defense should be all over Matt Moore creating a lot of 3 and outs thus resulting in good field position all day. I like Romo here, but see how he practices on Saturday for his thumb to base your decision
WR's--Crayton and Evans (I hate taking Evans here) but no way I play Moss with Todd Collins QB'ing against Minny's front and Seattle's front four can easily get to Troy Smith? Your in bad shape here with the WR's
its not a matter of matchups with the qb's...its all about romos thumb...if romo is healthy then he obviously gets the start no matter who either of them are playing...the problem here is that i have to make the decision tomorrow...which doesnt allow me to wait till sunday to see how romo is
title sunday in 2 leagues
kev jones vs. kc
aaron stecker vs. phi
and
kolby smith vs. det
aaron stecker

shtein thats right..I forgot Pitt plays tomorrow
The latest on Romo:
Tony Romo (right thumb) participated fully in Cowboys practice Wednesday.
Romo appears ready to play against Carolina on Saturday night. Coach Wade Phillips sounds upbeat about his chances: "To grip the ball, and his follow-through a little bit was what was hurting him. But not a whole lot, he seemed pretty accurate throwing the football." The Cowboys can get closer to clinching the No. 1 seed in the NFC with a victory over the Panthers.
i read in the dallas morning news that during the part of practice that was open to the media he was very cautious...not throwing all routes and not taking any snaps from under center...but then after practice phillips stated that he made all the throws and look great
i still dont know what to do....everyone ive seeked counsel from has said go with big ben
but theres something inside me that says you gotta go with the guy that got you there and that benching romo is over managing and will come back to doom me
the only reason they withheld him from direct snaps under center was for precautionary measures and to keep healing the thumb. They kept him in shotgun for the drills. Go to cbssportsline fantasy blurb for more insight on it
also, go with your gut
phillips claims he was under center during the portion of practice that the media wasnt allowed to view...them being all sneaky about this doesnt give me warm and fuzzies about romo
When all else fails, go with reese's opinion.
this is true...i was all out of sorts when he said go with "your gut" because im so used to going with his gut
actually, Id rather you not so I can blast it in your mug when you dont...but thats just me. So, you both can go farg your mothers
Go Big Ben
The important thing is that whichever player he does not play will have the better game.
^^^^
winner
anyway big ben is locked and loaded
good choice. he's due for one of his patented 150 yard, 5 TD games.
ha...thats exactly what i was thinking
i saw some stat about how he hasnt thrown for more than 200 yards in seven weeks
he has 29 touchdowns and only 2800 yards passing
pretty weird year
snow/wind expected for buffalo on sunday....
do i keep evans in there or go with derrick mason at seattle or new pickup david patten against the team from snorkeling
i have an evans decision as well and im not playing him after what happened last week
with the weather its a no brainer but mason is a better play even if the buffalo weather was good

so not quite this many points but close enough.
i threw a hundy on the over and was 2 points away by halftime.
I'm thinking about breaking one of the unwritten rules of Fantasy Football in my money league championship. I've got to pick two RBs:
Kolby Smith @ DET
Jones-Drew vs. OAK
Fred Taylor vs. OAK
Portis @ MIN
I'm probably going with Kolby Smith vs. DET and MJD vs. OAK. It's a PPR league, and MJD cathces passes, and gets all the goal line looks. Even with Taylor being hot, MJD is pretty much going to get me 15 points each week. Taylor has been churning out yards, but he isn't a TD machine also he's caught a grand total of two passes in the last four games. I'm really cotemplating starting both Taylor and MJD against Oakland's piss poor run defense.
This is quite possibly the first time that I would think that's a good idea too. Portis isn't going to do much against Minn. If anyone on the Skins roster has success running the ball I think it'll be Betts.
Kolby Smith has looked pretty good for KC and Detroit's defense is horrible but KC is so unreliable.
You know that Jax is going to run. It's what they do and both players will get plenty of touches. As long as they don't make any freak plays in the passing game where a reciever breaks a long TD run after the catch you should be fine.
The only reason I'm even considering it is there no way Larry Johnson gets any touches. Kolby Smith is going to get at least 20 touches, and he banged out over 100 combined yards against an awesome Titans defense last week, with dick for a passing game threat.
If I start Kolby Smith and either Taylor or MJD my chances are good, if I start Taylor and MJD, I have a potentially bigger payoff, but it's a bigger gamble. farg farg.
It's a crap shoot either way you look at it. But keep in mind that if you start MJD, Taylor will score all the points and vice versa. That's just how it goes. I think you're pretty much guaranteed about 30 combined points by starting both of them. If you start MJD or FT with Smith then I'd say you should only expect about 20-22 points combined.
I'm leaning towards Smith over Stecker in my league, too. But it's so hard to trust the Chiefs. The only silver lining is Detroit has clearly given up and Herm is such a bad coach that he will run 25 times a game unless his team is down by 30.
I'm down by 60 with LT left. So congrats to Sun's gay brother. Sun if you wanna send me 15 and the other 5 to igy, that'll be great.
I started MJD and Kolby Smith in my money league, against Sarge's advice. It worked out to be a push. In my league Smith scored 18.5 points, Taylor 17.2. Portis, who I never had any intention of playing against the Vikings in Minnesota, posted just over 30 points. Regardless, I go into tonight's game with him starting L.T. and me with Jason Elam left, I'm up by 45.

ha! nm
Thanks to Stecker, I won both of my Super Bowls in my money leagues this weekend. That's a cool $2,000. Saaaaahweet.
I'm in an 8-player franchise league. Right now my keepers are:
McNabb
Bulger
Gerrard
Plaxico Burress
Lee Evans (or Donald Driver)
Marshawn Lynch
Stephen Jackson
Willis McGahee
Obviously I don't need 3 QBs so I'm entertaining an offer for Gerrard that looks like this:
Brandon Marshall
2008 2nd round pick
*conditional 2009 2nd round pick
2008 box of Cap'n Crunch (note the correct spelling)
* If David Gerrard finishes with a passer rating >= 95.0 and plays in >= 12 games
Am I getting enough here? A guaranteed extra draft pick (a high one at that) as well as a rising star at receiver is tempting. But with Javon Walker returning next year I don't know how indicative Marshall's season really is of his future production.
holy shtein you have incentive clauses in your fantasy trades? you are a mega nerd.
I know, right! It farging rules. A never-ending keeper/franchise league.
Also this site that we're using kicks ass and is free. Actually, it looks like shtein, but the features are pretty dope.
what is the site?
oh and you should keep gerrard and trade bulger. he's done.
I agree about Bulger/Gerrard, but the dude has no interest and he should still be a decent #2 next season.
The site is actually fantasyfootball.washintonpost.com and is powered by some company called 'fleaflicker'. Anyway, I don't know if they have a tour of the site and features or whatever, but check it out. Might use it for the balloon knot next year.
