2007 Fantasy Football Who To Start Thread

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.

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

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Leave Porter on the bench.

2nd running back this weekend in a PPR league:

Jones-Drew @ Denver
Ronnie Brown @ NYJ
Betts vs Giants
Chris Brown @ Saints


Jones-Drew was an automatic start the first two weeks, but he hasn't done shtein so far...do i stay with him or try someone else?

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??

[reese125]

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

[PhillyPhanInDC]

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....

[reese125]

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.

[PhillyPhanInDC]

I couldn't really give a shtein about Cadillac. I'm just going to give him a RB, and I want one back.

[bowzer]

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?? How so? LJ has no oline and KC has no passing game.  I have Greg Olsen and Jason Avant in two of my flex spots.

Look at his schedule after week 6.

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.
