Who to start 2011

[ice grillin you]

piggybacking off what matty was saying about how weird this year has been

me matty and sunny are in a league together and the first place team who is 11-2 with no one else right now even within one game of him somehow has the seventh most total pts in the league (10 teams)

[Sgt PSN]

FF is stupid like that sometimes. I played in a league a few years ago where I was the highest scoring team in the league and missed the playoffs. 10 team league and I out scored the next highest scoring team by almost 300 pts. So while my team was constantly scoring about 125 pts each week, my opponents were having thier best week of the year against me.  Sometimes FF makes no sense.

[ice grillin you]

weve never had anything close to that happening before...weve had teams tied where one had way more pts...or like you said a team with a lot of pts missing the playoffs....but never an 11-2 team having the 7th most pts

[Sgt PSN]

Yeah, he just caught a crazy good break with the schedule.

[Munson]

So this is what happens when Jamaal Charles gets hurt early in the year....

Ben Tate vs. CIN
Donald Brown vs. BAL

[Diomedes]

Tate. 

[Munson]

I can't believe I started Ben Tate against the guy who through numerous trades had Foster, Stafford, Rice, Chris Johnson, and Greg Jennings, and I'm going to win the game and move on to the next round.

I love you, Larry Fitzgerald.

Pick 3 (non-PPR):

Steve Smith at HOU
Miles Austin at TB
Marion Barber vs SEA
------------------------
Laurent Robinson at TB
Mike Williams vs DAL
Demaryius Thomas vs NE

The first three are the ones I'm currently starting.

[Munson]

Unless Barber is really in the doghouse after last week, I'd say you've got it right. Thomas is facing an awful NE D but Tebow is way too inconsistent to be trusted IMO


For me, same shtein as last week...

Ben Tate being 2nd fiddle agains the terrible Carolina run D
Donald Brown now getting the lions share of carries against the also not so good Tennessee D

Also same league...

Houston D vs Carolina and Cam Newton
Giants D vs. Washington

Robbie Gould vs. SEA
Mike Nugent @ STL

Kickers aren't usually a big deal but I need any advantage I can get, and Chicago's offense is so bad now

[Munson]

Does big ben officially being out mean I start Maclin over Antonio Brown now? Or does that hurt mike wallace more then brown?

[Diomedes]

with Forte and Barber both out, my options are:

pick three
Ray Rice v. Browns
Marshawn Lynch v. 49ers
Cedric Benson v. Cards
CJ Spiller v. Broncos

right now Lynch is the odd man out.

[Munson]

The way the 49ers D has been playing, he has to be.


Now help me out, man!

[Diomedes]

Maclin.

[Sgt PSN]

with Forte and Barber both out, my options are:

pick three
Ray Rice v. Browns
Marshawn Lynch v. 49ers
Cedric Benson v. Cards
CJ Spiller v. Broncos

right now Lynch is the odd man out.

Keep it that way. 

Does big ben officially being out mean I start Maclin over Antonio Brown now? Or does that hurt mike wallace more then brown?

I have the same problem with Brown.  I'm contemplating moving Torrey Smith from my flex spot to the WR spot, benching Brown and then playing Ryan Grant in the flex position.  I'm leaning towards leaving Brown in because the match up vs StL is buttery regardless who the QB is.  Plus, Brown gets return yards as well so he doesn't have to rely on the QB to get him the ball in order to have a big play. 

[Munson]

We don't get yardage credit but do get return TD credit.....the rams are soooo bad...but the Eagles/Cowboys game could turn into a shootout...etc...


farg me.
