DeSean Jackson, Santana Moss, Ted Ginn Jr.
Yeah, I reeaaaalllllllyyyy want to start Jackson, but I'm just not sure.
Ha same problem - almost - I have to start 3 of Jackson, TJ, Moss, or Driver. I'm going with the first three. and right now I'd take Jackson over Moss is you have points for return yards.
cant see why its a problem. Its week 1--which is a complete crapshoot picking who to start
My flight was late last night, so I missed all but the last two rounds of a 14-team draft.
Thankfully, I grabbed Kurt Warner in the 15th round to handcuff Matt Leinart. Not that it matters, because neither of them can crack the starting lineup with Jake Delhomme having a stranglehold on the spot.
At RB, I'm rocking Clinton "somehow my fantasy value never is as good as my numbers" Portis and OMGReggieBush, with solid backup coming from the ineffective and likely-to-be-cut Rudi Johnson.
Thankfully, things are better at WR, where I have Andre Johnson and Brandon Marshall being solidly buttressed by the likes of Dwayne Bowe, Isaac Bruce, Justin Gage, and Bryant Johnson.
Anyway, I just thought I'd point out that on some teams, it doesn't farging matter who you start.
Go to hell

That is whats making this tough, this league uses return yards for defense/special teams. If I was getting the return yards for Jackson, it would make it a lot easier.
The other thing is, I have to believe that Jackson will get into the game and that the Eagles will go to him pretty frequently even if he doesn't start, but a lot of that depends on the health of Reggie Brown.
My $$ league roster (draft this past weekend)
Jay Cutler
Philip Rivers
Frank Gore
Marshawn Lynch
Thomas Jones
Ricky Williams
Ray Rice
Marques Colston
DeSean Jackson
Roy Williams
Anthony Gonzalez
Brandon Stokely
Todd Heap
Rob Bironas
Eagles
Giants
get back to us after you've narrowed it down a bit
ain't picking your whole roster for you
I like the Jay Cutler pick. He has really looked good this pre-season since getting healthy.
I like Rickey Williams also. Could be a big sleeper if he stays healthy. He's got the insurance of a contract extension also. As long as he stays off the wacky weed..................
Phreak, are you starting DJ ?

Lynch
i have a gaggle of zesty wr's....someone pick two of these for me
santana moss - nyg
roddy white - atl
reggie williams - tenn
justin gage - jack
robert meachem - tb
and what about starting michael turner over jamal lewis at rb?
turner - det
jamal - dal
Those receivers are awful. Moss and White.
to be fair i also have fitzgerald but yes they are terrible
and moss white is my thinking to but its such a crap shoot
Also, I'd go with Turner because I think he's gonna be a stud, but either of those RBs should do fine.
agreed Moss White and Turner
I felt pretty good about my draft, but we had to have it early, and now I am not so in love with my team. Gotta pick 2 RBs this week in my money PPR league (the guys in bold are the guys I am thinking of going with):
L. Johnson @NE
D. Williams @SD
R. Brown @ NYJ
M. Forte @ IND
C. Johnson @ JAX (on the fence with this dude, as I think Uncle Rico will be dumping the ball off to him constantly)
you would be hard pressed to have posted five more common last names with first initials...im figuring larry johnson then im lost without looking up the schedule of games and even as much as im rooting for you to win im not willing to do
Larry Johnson
DeAngelo Williams
Ronnie Brown (just say no)
Matt Forte (yuck, rookie in first NFL game against good defense)
Chris Johnson (see "Matt Forte")
Dropping Isaac Bruce for Meachem. Good idea? Risky? Push?
I feel like Bruce will be a security blanket for SF since he knows the offense and will therefore outperform his numbers from last year. Meachem is young and could kick ass in pass-happy New Orleans, but could also be nothing.

I had Meachem on my squad right after the draft, I picked him in the last round, and dropped him shortly thereafter. When you think of the list of folks to throw the ball to that will go through Brees' head on a passing play, Meachem is going to be pretty low on the list. He made some noise in the preseason, but that was against scrubs mostly. He hasn't done anything as of yet.
Bruce seems to be pretty much the only healthy WR worth a damn on the Niners at this point, so he's got that going for him. If you are planning on starting him, I would make a move however, I don't know he's going to outperform last year much.
I would suspect there are a lot of guys on the waiver wire that are more likely to produce, at least short term, over Meachum and Bruce. Ronald Curry, Mark Clayton (playing Cincy, who he normally produces well against), Ted Ginn, and Eddie Royal come to mind.
Curry is interesting but a massive question mark on a team that will run as much as humanly possible.
Mark Clayton. Who farging knows.
Ted Ginn, not available.
Who in the farg is Eddie Royal? Seriously.

I almost did the same. As an added "bonus," I also have Bryant Johnson on my shtein-ass team. I ultimately chose not to make the change, because my league has a maximum "moves" rule.
Clayton has produced in the past, while he has a rookie starting, it's a rookie with a big arm. Clayton is going to have a bounce back year of sorts. Eddie Royal secured the number two spot, and Marshall is out for the first game. With Cutler, they are going to air the ball out. Curry is a question mark, but a minute ago you would talking about adding Robert Meachem, who's never caught a ball in an actual NFL game.
Couple of other guys who are probably on the waiver wire:
Randle-El
Kevin Walter
Reggie Williams
Walter is definitely not on the wavier wire otherwise he would be mine.
Randle-El, not if you paid me.
Maybe Reggie Williams but meh meh meh.
Whatever. We're talking about the last roster spot on my team so I'm not really worried. Basically I'm trying to predict the future based on zero information.

i would say minor risk only because imo meachem is one of if not the biggest sleeper pick of the year...but he could flop...i got him on my squad and wouldnt drop him for bruce...
i think bruce is old boring injury prone and probably done...id rather have some fresh blood on my squad
Ok, if that is the case, who would be best to drop for Meachem:
Bruce
Bryant Johnson
Justin Gage
you should drop bryant johnson into a vat of steaming bubbling shtein tards just for kicks
picking up meachem would be a bonus after that
i like gage as a mini sleeper....like real mini
bruce is what he is
I agree with IGY's assessment, but I can't seem to make myself make the change until I see Meachem at least line up as a starter or catch a pass...
Ha..you know what's gonna happen now.
Meachem picks up where he left off in preseason- running past dudes for bombs by Brees and he gets his week 1 120 yd/ td, and your whole leage does a b-line to the waiver wire to scoop him up with the quickness...but hey..at least you were contemplating it
Jay Cutler
or
Philip Rivers
Definitely leaning towards Rivers, but want to hear your thoughts too.
Why on earth would you lean towards Rivers? Cutler.
It's a shame you don't get to choose between Delhomme and Warner, like me.
Pick Cutler, smacky.

Because Marshall is out.
And because Oakland somewhat shut down Cuter last year.
I don't think you can go by any of Cutler's preformances last year now that he's fully healthy.
if you have to look at your QB matchups to determine who to start in week 1...then you fail at fantasy football.
Yeah, I should have drafted Vince Young.
I bet your glad yuou started Jackson though! :yay
Matt Cassel at NYJ
Kurt Warner vs MIA
Jake Delhomme vs/at WhoGivesAshtein
In one league I'm in, I have:
Laveranues Coles
DeSean Jackson
Chad Johnson
Donte' Stallworth
Kevin Walter
I have an add drop pending to get rid of Stallworth and add Eddie Royal. I'm thinking of sitting Ocho Noshow and starting Royal with probably Jackson and I don't know who else until I see something from this nutcase Chad the village idiot.
FF, Warner??
Carson Palmer, or Eli. I'm leanig towards Eli.
Quote from: shorebird on September 10, 2008, 06:56:32 AM

so i tried to get tricky and started my "sleeper" guy meachem...then he got deactivated...good call dumb farg
turner worked out beautifully tho
anyway this week im listening to everyone else....i need two of these
roddy white @ tampa
santana moss vs new orleans
reggie williams vs buffalo
justin gage @ cincy
devery henderson @ wash
Safe picks: White and Moss.
Best up side: Moss and Henderson.
yeah i was leaning towards moss and henderson...and they are in the same game (along with my qb) which will make for some good game watching...especially if the skins go down
In my money league I have had to absorb the injuries of Nate Burleson and Marques Colston.
I need to start 3 of these clowns:
Marvin Harrison (Min)
Joey Galloway (Atl)
Devery Henderson (Was)
Kevin Walter (Bal)
Isn't Walter white? If so, I think I know which way I'm leaning.

coin flip btwn walter and galloway
id go with walter (to start)
I am leaning towards Harrison, Galloway and Henderson. Basically trying to decide between Henderson and Walter. Any way you slice it, these guys suck. farging injuries.
i think you gotta start henderson...brees throws the ball all over the field and is almost guarnteed of getting 300+ yards in every game
what's even worse is that they're all still better than burleson.
True, but Burleson was the only option that Hasselbeck had to throw to and was obviously getting a lot of looks last week. He was guaranteed to out-perform his talent level. Now he's just got cancer and needs to die.

Look at this way, if Meachem gets on the field that's another receiver added to the mix of the already potluck receivers Brees has to throw to
Henderson was targeted 2 times last game
Walter was targeted 5. If Baltimore rolls a safety over Johnsons way, look for Walter to get more targets. Either way, its a tough call.
Henderson is a one trick pony. Washington's secondary sucks balls though. Is this a PPR league?
If not Henderson, if it is, Walter.
Two backs, PPR league:
Larry Johnson vs Raiders
Chris Johnson vs Cincy
Matt Forte vs Carolina
DeAngelo Williams vs Chicago
Sammy Morris vs NYJ
I'm leaning towards Johnson and Forte, Johnson because he always shreds the Raiders, and I may as well get a decent stat line out of him at some point this year. Forte I like because he's going to get most of the carries, and looked solid against the Colts. Johnson looks like the deal, and against Cincy? C'mon. I'd really like to start Forte and Johnson, but starting two rookies in week two???
forget rookie. Forte gets all the carries plus he got 3 passes out in the flat...and thats all that matters...touches.
Man...I love Chris Johnson. Dude is ridiculous
I do agree though...Larry is tough to sit..especially healthy
The Colston injury hurts me in the $$ league I'm in.
I was starting
Roy Williams
Colston
DePimp Jackson
On reserve I had Anthony Gonzalez and Brandon Stokely. The token whitey's. For my waiver requests this week I put in for Eddie Royal #1, Devery Henderson #2 and Kevin Walter #3.
I'll probably end up with Walter since I won and low on the waiver totem pole.
its so hard to pass up on Royal on waivers
you see it every year in fantasy though. dude blows up 1st and 2nd week, then he disappears or has very mediocre games
but this farger ate up one of the best CB's in the league.
Hall is a punk
Exactly. In other words, he's the ideal Raider.
Hall is trash.
Pretty good corner though.
In a league where I get .5 per carry and .5 per reception, should I start
Maroney vs Jets
Graham vs Falcons
Fargas vs Chiefs
Chester Taylor vs Colts (he's only up there because of how bad they looked vs the run)
Yuck. Graham is the only 'must start' of that group. I'd go with Maroney.
If Graham is the only must start, why the hell are you going with Maroney? You really are a jerk.
I assumed that you needed to start 2, smart stuff. Graham was the obvious one. Maroney was the second one.
And yes, I am a jerk.
Sorry, should have been more specific. Westbrook is my main RB then it's probably going to be a tossup between the other three and Andre Hall all season
wait you get pts for carries?
Yes - .5 per carry and .5 per reception. Westbrook is especially golden in this league
that league should be napalmed
I gotta believe Maroney is gonna get more carries now than he would have if Brady was playing. I'd play Maroney.
I thought the same thing, but it seems like Belli'machick hates Maroney. I think we'll see more of Sammy Morris and am willing to wait a week or two to find out. Plus, NE playing away against a decent Jets D without their God of a QB for the first time makes me think he's a risky start.
my wideouts today:
Locks: TO, Harrison
I need a third. I have Steve Smith, so this is the last week I need to mess around to replace him. I picked up Anthony Gonalez and want to play him, but I never like to play 2 guys from the same team. I do think that the Colts will pass all over the Vikes though. My other option is Vincent Jackson vs Denver.
thoughts?
I would diversify and go with Jackson.
I have Manning, Harrison, and Addai on one team. I simply cannot play all three because I won't put so much stock in one game. This week, because of the Texans Ravens cancellation, I am forced to either start all three, or bench Manning in favor of Rivers, which is what I have decided to do.
We'll see if it was the right thing to do. It probably isn't, but farg all.
I forgot to bench Andre Johnson until just now. Picked up Hank Baskett and dropped Isaac Bruce!
14-team non-money leagues rulez.!
My team this week consisted of Jay Cutler, Reggie Wayne, Torry Holt, Calvin Johnson, S.Jackson, and Earnest Graham.
I've got a good feeling I'll wake up tomorrow in the lead.
CBS sportsline is a farging joke. You would think after all these years they would get a bigger server or something that can accommodate all the viewers
I havent been able to view all the games live or check my fantasy score for over 6 hours
thats what you get for doing a league on anything but yahoo

i am up by .44 pts in my game this week...my opponent is done and i have nick folk tonight who i will be benching so he doesnt somehow get minus pts and lose me the game

maybe the engineer can lock down witten
I just offered some guy in my league Larry Johnson for Marques Colston and Julius Jones.
He has a pretty solid team, but has gone 0-2. He's got L.T and Reggie Boosh for his starting RBs, and it's a PPR league. I am hoping he is in panic mode with L.T having two pretty zesty weeks and bites. Julius Jones is just add in fluff, he had a good game yesterday, but he's going to go back to being pedestrian next week, I just requested him for depth.
My other running backs are Matt Forte, Chris Johnson, Ronnie Brown, DeAngelo Williams, and Sammy Morris.
Quote from: ice grillin you on September 15, 2008, 10:13:37 AM

Or maybe they will double team him with the help of "starting" corner Sheldon Brown.
So my friend knows I want Westbrook hard in our league.
He just texted me today and said offer me a trade for Westbrook that includes Calvin Johnson.
I'm thinking about doing it. I think Johnson is gonna have a monster year...but then again, it's Brian Westbrook in a PPR league.
I think I may try to offer him Johnson and either Earnest Graham or S-Jackson for Westbrook and Andre Johnson.
Should I do it/will he bite on that?
Some schmuck just dropped Steve Smith (WR-CAR). I was fourth in priority so I'm not sure how I got him, but now my quandary is to pick two of these three:
Larry Fitzgerald @ WAS
Calvin Johnson @ SF
Steve Smith @ MIN
who are these people and how old are they? .5 per carry, dropping Steve Smith right before he plays...what the?
whoever did that, please tell them I want them in my league next year and they dont even have to draft...just a check will do
This is in a different league. 0 pts per carry and 0 pts per reception. The suckiest thing is that I lost to the dumbarse who dropped Steve Smith by 3 pts, and I had the second highest point total of the week. If I would have started Chris Chambers over Larry Fitzgerald (fat chance of that ever happening) I would have won.
I have Jonathan Stewart/LJ/LT. Im going with Stewart, but dont know who to start between LJ or LT who's a hoyda
Damn, Bwest hurt me this week, I hope he's not seriously injured.
With both Torry Holt and Calvin Johnson on byes next week, I need a little help.
I have Eddie Royal and Robert Meachem on my bench....I like Meachem's potential, he's made two nice plays since he got activated....but instead of plugging him in, should I try and pick up someone else for next week? Right now the top two scoring WR's on the FA market in my league are Antonio Bryant for TB and, yes, Hank Baskett.
I'm tempted to pick up Baskett but....
Bryant has been tearing it up through the preseason and has done well so far in regular season too. Galloway is out. I would go with Bryant.

Very fair points, especially after the game he had yesterday with Galloway out. It also helps that Gruden is throwing it 67 times a game...
You've convinced me.
Meachem has a TD :(
I've got a guy harping for a trade, he's after Larry Johnson or Chris Johnson, we play in a PPR league, with 6pts for all TDs.
Can't start two RBs, and three WR/TEs:
My running backs looks like this
Larry Johnson
Matt Forte
Chris Johnson
Ronnie Brown
Sammy Morris
DeAngelo Williams
Darren Sproles
My WR/TEs
Plaxico Burress
T.J. Houshamazodenburger
Reggie Brown
Matt Jones
Jason Witten
Chris Cooley
He has Brandon Marshall, Terrell Owens, and Greg Jennings as his top WRs, I was planning on targeting Owens or Jennings for Chris Johnson, as I would rather not part with LJ if possible, since he gets almost all of the touches...pretty sure he won't give me Owens at this point, so if I get Jennings for Chris Johnson, is it a good trade?
Jennings for C Johnson....ummm yeah.
Pick 3 of the following 4:
Andre Johnson vs. IND
Steve Smith (CAR) vs. KC
Reggie Wayne @ HOU
Santana Moss @ PHI
Moss
Wayne
Johnson
Quote from: shorebird on October 03, 2008, 08:01:38 PM
Moss
Wayne
Johnson
Um, really? Is this the week Johnson finally does jack shtein?
Moss
Wayne
Smith
I'm starting Steve Slaton instead of Michael Turner this week.
cool...thanks
I don't think I'd start Smith. Everyone says he's back because he caught a TD against the Falcons. I don't know 'bout that, but what do I know.
Dude, it doesn't matter if Smith is back or not. Andre Johnson sucks shtein this year.
My TE's are abysmal...I started LJ week 1 and 2, he hurt his vadge in week 3, so I picked up Todd Heap who continued to do crap in week 4, now I'm back on LJ...
So the one guy in my league offered me Tony Gonzalez and Ike Hilliard for Eddie Royal.
My other WR's are Reggie Wayne, Calvin Johnson, and Tory Holt. But Eddie Royal is currently my highest scoring WR (I know that won't last, but I'm still not sure Holt's gonna bounce back at all this year in that offense), and that starting trio (Wayne, Johnson, Royal) will usually put up more then enough to compensate for the lack of TE help...
But having Tony G will definitely give me a more complete team.
Thoughts? Should I take it or what?
Gotta start one of the following in my money points per reception league:
Chris Johnson @ Baltimore
Ronnie Brown vs. San Diego
Larry Johnson @ Carolina
A. Johnson-131 ReYd, ReTD 19.1
S. Smith-96 ReYd 9.6
Well, I played Johnson. So, speak for yourself.
I am.
Ben to Ward gets me the win ;D
I ended up starting Johnson, Wayne, and Smith. They all did better than Moss.
Moss had a big fat zero, which makes the Eagles loss even more disturbing.
It also makes T-hawk look like a fantasy genious.
So this is the trade I was just offered
Patrick Crayton
Ladainian Tomlinson
Ike Hilliard
Tony Gonzalez
for
Reggie Wayne
Eddie Royal
Edgerrin James
This is a PPR league. Now the problem with this trade is while I would get LT and Tony G....my WR's would be Calvin Johnson (zesty offense/QB), Torry Holt (zesty offense), and a platoon of Hilliard, Crayton, and Kevin Curtis when he gets back.
It would, however, give me starting RB's of Stephen Jackson and LT, and Earnest Graham on the bench.
My gut instinct says jump all over it.....but even with those two RB's (one who plays in a zesty offense and another who sounds like his toe is going to effect him all year), I don't know if I can win without Reggie Wayne AND Eddie Royal.
farg.
um yes, take it. anyone can win without eddie royal.
Would he be a #1 on the Eagles?

Steven Jackson and Julius Jones.
I know I didn't specify but was really looking for only one, as my other starter is Portis. To tell you the truth, I was leaning towards McClain with him going against Indy, who has the worst run D in the league. Jones would be my next bet with Jackson going against the taterskins. Skins have a good run D. Only allowed three rushing TD's so far this year.
Jackson though is one of those players you just can't sit. He had a great game in week four. I have to start him. shtein, he was the first runningback I picked.
Roy Williams or Robert Meachem
points per reception league; Williams questionable
Meacham has only 7 receptions on the year. You're in a bind there.
Meachem put up a goose egg for me this weekend, but I still won easily with Portis, OMGReggie Bush, Andre Johnson, and Brandon Marshall.
Indy D actually had a nice game for a change too.
YOU ALL CARE
2nd RB
Thomas Jones
Steve Slaton
Jamal Lewis
2nd WR
Colston - first game back
Lee Evans
Santonio Holmes
Slaton
Evans
Agreed with Dio.
Slaton against Detroit should be a good match up. But its tough, Jones is coming off a 3 TD game.
Quote from: Diomedes on October 17, 2008, 09:19:52 PM
Slaton
Evans
My thoughts too. Since you are leading the Keeper league, I should probably listen.
meanwhile, I've won only one game in the CF yearly league
Been offered a trade in a PPR league:
He gets: Chris Johnson RB TEN
I get: Laverneus (farg the spelling) Coles
and Tim Hightower RB ARI
I don't have Edgerian James, but it looks like he has been running in quick sand, so I think Hightower's role will only increase. I need a WR, but I am wondering if Coles for 1A/2 RB (remember it's a PPR league) is worth it. Thoughts?
who would you be cutting to make room?
I think you're getting the better end of that deal. Lendale is still their goalline back for now.
Coles has been really sporadic this year because of injury. I thought he was gonna be a great pick when the Jets got Saint Brett but it hasn't worked out that way.
I'd still do the trade, though, because like rjs said, LenDale is the TD whore in TN.

It looks like Graham will have to play fullback again tomorrow, which means it could be another big day for Dunn. He showed last week he's still got it, so Gruden and Co. probably feel comfortable with him at this point. I would be tempted with Kevin Smith, but that whole team is farging god awful, and they seem to want to prove everyone wrong about Rudi Johnson. Pittman is intriguing, but last week was the only time the gave the ball to one guy a majority of the time. I think based on matchup and injury, you've gotta go with Dunn.
By the way, if he is floating on your waiver wire, and you have the room, it's time to pickup Ryan Torain of the Broncos. Shanahan had a hard on for him during the draft, and they were raving about him during training camp. They could be getting the run game going now in preparation for having him back, and he's the type of one-cut-and-go bigger back that has always flourished in Denver. Guy just started practicing and will be playing after the bye, has all the potential of a big-time sleeper.
My turn. Need to pick a 2nd RB, and third receiver (WR/TE) in my money PPR league:
Matt Forte vs MIN (Horrible matchup. He catches a bunch of balls, and will probably be good for 50 yards rushing)
Sammy Morris vs DEN (Great matchup and figures to get most of the touches with Maroney out again, goal line back too)
Ronnie Brown vs BAL (Horrible matchup. Has a TD in every game, and is the best player on offense)
T.J Houshamazode vs PIT (Ryan farging Fitzpatrick throwing to him. Still catches a lot of passes)
Chris Cooley vs CLE (Good matchup, catches a bunch, usually a TD machine)
Rivers vs. Buffalo
Cutler vs. New England
Thomas Jones vs. Oakland
Marshawn Lynch vs. San Diego
I'm 99% sure I'm going with Cutler because of NE's secondary and I don't like when West teams come East and play 1pm games.
The RB situation...not sure, but leaning towards Jones.
yeah, I would go Cutler too, he's been too good this year and New England's defense is nothing special
Oakland has a decent pass defense so the Jets may be willing to run more. I'd probably lean towards Jones, but not a whole lot

Been offered a trade in a PPR league:
He gets: Chris Johnson RB TEN
I get: Laverneus (farg the spelling) Coles
and Tim Hightower RB ARI
I don't have Edgerian James, but it looks like he has been running in quick sand, so I think Hightower's role will only increase. I need a WR, but I am wondering if Coles for 1A/2 RB (remember it's a PPR league) is worth it. Thoughts?
I would stick with Chris Johnson. Really good for PPR. Is it dynasty?
Pick my 3rd WR for next Sunday
Torry Holt @ NE
Kevin Curtis vs. ATL
I'm going with Curtis at the moment...Reid's going to target him often to prove that he's "the guy" the offense needs. My guess is Reid tries to force it to him for a score. Unfortunately Eddie Royal is on bye this week, otherwise he'd get the start.
The Rams are hot. NE is due for a defensive let-down. Kevin Curtis is white.
Need a bye-week fill in at WR/TE in my money PPR league. Need to pick two of the three (yuck):
Owen Daniels vs BAL
DeSean Jackson vs. NYG
Ted Ginn Jr. vs SEA
Also, need to pick a #2 RB:
DeAngelo Williams vs OAK (Insanely good matchup, Stewart might play and steal TDs)
Ronnie Brown vs SEA (Again pretty good matchup at home, but he's been spotty)
Matt Forte vs TEN (Terrible matchup, but he has been consistent, especially in PPR)
Daniels and Jackson
Ronnie Brown
I say Jackson and Ginn. Daniels is going to have a very tough day. I'll take my chances on Pennington and Ginn rather than Daniels vs. Baltimore.
Brown
Normally this wouldn't be a concern, but Westbrook has been hurting so pick two:
Westbrook
Ronnie Brown
Michael Turner
Maurice Jones-Drew
Willis Mcgayhee
Pick a TE
Anthony Fasano vs. Oakland
John Carlson vs. Arizona
Neither. Don't play a TE. Let it ride.
Tomlinson vs Pittsburgh
Brandon Jacobs vs Baltimore
Ronnie Brown vs Oakland
Pick two.
LT and Jacobs I suppose
Dio has obviously been hanging out with Jack Ikeguano.
Ronnie Brown's matchup is silly. Miami is going to run the ball til it's flat tomorrow.
LT and Brown.
I've got Brown as well, but I am wondering if I should start him. Matt Forte is my #1, I have to pick one of these guys in a PPR league:
Chris Johnson vs JAX
Ronniw Brown vs OAK
DeAngelo Williams vs DET.
I'm currently leaning towards DeAngelo Williams, nut Jonathan Stewart worries me...
Steve Jackson out. What a dissapointment. I mean, I knew he wasn't going to have a big, big year, but injuries have really slowed him of late.
hes killed my team as well...i will never draft him again
LT has been a miserable failure this year as well.
Also on the Jackson train wreck.
I was forced to start Ray Rice and Kevin Faulk last week thanks to Jackson and Graham being injured.
And I'm going with Carlson, dropped Fasano to pick up Keller for the rest of the year.
I picked up Ray rice as well as a band aid for Jackson, didn't pan out too well, I was a week late.
Jamal Lewis vs. Houston
Joseph Addai vs. San Diego
Thomas Jones vs. Tennessee
Lewis and Addai.
Finkle and Einhorn
Do I bench Westbrook against the Ravens? It may seem like a no-brainer, but for some reason I'm having difficulty hitting the Submit Changes button
Oh woe is you.
My starting RB's right now are Kevin Faulk and BenJarvius Green-Ellis. Hopefully one of them will be replaced by Felix Jones this week if he can play.
farg you Steven Jackson and Earnest Graham.

Prolly' too late now, but when Graham went down for me on one of my teams, I quickly picked up Warrick Dunn.
Unfortunately someone already had Dunn in my league...I settled for picking up Carnell Williams :-D :'(

Whats the latest word on Bwest?

Whats the latest word on Bwest?
I think he's going to rush for over 100 and score 4 TD's (2 through the air).
He'll probably limp off at some point, though, so you're not safe for next week regardless.
im playing a game this week for the last playoff spot in our league and i have larry fitzgerald going thursday...so im feeling pretty good after the game...then i get home to see that he had rob bironas who outscored fitz by three points
I'm playing you and couldn't get to a computer to move Westbrook into a starting slot before the game.
I need to start 3 of the 4
Ward vs. taterskins
McFadden vs. Chiefs
L. Washington vs. Broncos
S. Jackson vs. Dolphins
that garbage 40 yard td slaton got last night might have very well cost me a playoff berth
good
shouldn't you know by now? any league that is still playing regular season games after week 13 gets the gas face.
nope we go all the way to the end
i went from clinching last night to now being tied with only one week left.....and the team im tied with has less than two pts less than me....CRAZEEEEEEE!!
so your fantasy championship is decided on the week when many of the best players in the league don't play?
yeah but we emphasize the regular season
it only takes two games to win the championship
thats far less impressive than winning a 14 game regular season
the playoffs are a complete crap shoot anyway
we give a large reg season first place prize and you have to pay money for coming in last in the regular season....so theres always great races for first and not last...races that are much more exciting than a two game playoff that doesnt include most of the league
id almost rather have one long reg season and have no playoffs
Your views on fantasy football border on the unamerican.
in fact this has been our all time greatest year in our league
right now going into the final week of the reg season we have
-- three teams tied at 10-3 for the first place prize
-- two teams at 7-6 separated by two pts for the last playoff spot
-- two teams at 3-10 fighting not to come in last
its going to be a magical week
thats spectacular...really it is.
man I tell ya with posts like this....you got balls for ever busting anyone's balls about anything
Injuries have brought me to this in the first round of the playoffs.
I'll be starting Steven Jackson vs. the Cards...if the Eagles can run it on them, the Rams can.
But pick my other starter....
Kevin Faulk vs. Seattle
Pierre Thomas vs. Atlanta
Deuce is suspended for the rest of the year....Both are hot hands right now, both are playing not-great defenses.
I would go with Pierre Thomas. With McAllister gone, I think he might be able to get a score for you. Especially with the Saints passing game.
Here's mine. McNabb versus the Giants or Philip Rivers versus Oakland. Oakland actually has a decent secondary.
McNabb won't be passing much because the Eagles love to run, so start Rivers.

I'm leaning that way. It's a PPR league though, so that makes Faulk a very enticing option.
Divisional Playoff game. Winner goes to the big show. Points per reception league:
My RBs:
1. Forte vs. NO
2. DeAngelo Williams vs. Denver
I am pretty sure I am locked in with those two, but I also have Chris Johnson @ HOU. Anyone think I should plug him in?
WR/TE position (three spots, can be a WR or a TE):
This who I have in right now:
T.J Houshmanzadeh vs. WAS
DJax @ CLE
Jason Witten vs. NYG
This is who is on the bench:
Devone Bess (money in PPRs) vs. SF
Chris Cooley @ CIN
D. Keller vs. BUF
Has DJax really hit the wall, and shouldn't be in the lineup, or will he return to his average numbers vs a horrible Clevland team?
I would use CJ instead of Forte. I think NO is going to score some points causing Chicago to have to abandon the run.
I would go with Cooley over DJax.
The problem is Forte is used heavily in the passing game, so in a PPR league, I'm not sure I'd ever bench Forte.
So is Johnson Dio
Wheew...Johnson in a Dome is hard to pass on
I think its a crapshoot either way btween Johnson and Forte for both teams give up yds on the rush
Williams is just farging infuego right now and is impossible to bench
reggie bush in the snow and cold at chicago
the chance of tashard choice sunday night against nyg
oh boi.
Quote from: reese125 on December 11, 2008, 01:23:14 PM
So is Johnson Dio
Well sure, but Forte has 53 receptions to Johnson's 39, and 269 rushing attempts to Johnson's 222 (with about equal yards). Clearly Forte is getting more touches and looks. Moreover, Forte has 10 TDs (6 rushing, 4 rec) to Johnson's 9 (8/1).
In a ppr league, I'm starting Forte.
Derrick Ward vs the Cowboys
Ryan Gant vs the Jaguars
Just heard that Jacobs is sitting, and Ward is getting his first start.
I think you gotta go with Ward. As he goes, the Giants will go. He's been great when he has gotten the ball, and should get at least 100 combined yards and all the short yardage work. Ryan Grant has been way too consistent all year to try and lean on in the playoffs.
I'm prett sure I am going to start Devone Bess (PPR league) today, but I am not sure who to start him over. I've got DJax, who had a horrible game last week, or Jason Witten and all the BS with TO that has been going on down in Big D. I've gotta pick on of the two, and at this point I am leaning toward Witten and Bess. Houshmanzadeh is my other WR/TE. Does anyone think D Jax is going to a good game tomorrow night???
Well, that was pretty much a wash. Giants looked like crap all around. Grant would have gotten' me two more pts., but I have Bwest going tonight. My opponent has the Eagles D and I have a 23 pt. lead going in, so it looks like I'm Superbowl bound.
Two championship games for money:
1. Pick 2:
- Michael Turner vs. Minn
- Adrien Peterson vs. Atl
- Steve Slaton vs. Oak
2. Pick 3:
- Michael Turner vs. Minn
- Marion Barber vs. Bal
- Steve Slaton vs. Oak
- Ryan Grant vs. Chi
1) Slaton and Peterson
2) Turner and Slaton and Grant
How much do I get?

None. He told you to pick three from the second set. You suck at teh math.
ha. very nice
Last question for both leagues:
Indy D vs. Jax
Houston D vs. Oak

Indy.
Pick two.....
Brian Westbrook
Ryan Gant
Pierre Thomas
Warrick Dunn
Rjs has some pretty good friggen' backs. Did you draft Slaton?
Yeah. Last round in a couple of leagues. Thought he fit well with Houston and figured he'd beat out Ahman Green for the job sooner rather than later.
Thats looking like a fantasy slam dunk right about now.
My pre-season obsession with Michael Turner worked out pretty well for me too. I have him the 4 different leagues.
Quote from: shorebird on December 18, 2008, 07:23:15 AM

Westbrook and Thomas. Even though the Saints are out of the playoff hunt, Thomas should still do very well against the Lions
Thanks, thats what I was thinking, but I wanted to see someone else confirm it besides the Guru at CBS Sportsline. They've screwed me in the past.

What rounds did you pick him in? One league I'm in had a guy pick him in the second round while the rest of us were grabbing guys like LT, Peterson and Portis. We all thought he was nuts.
I took him in the second round of one league, the third round of another and picked him first in both of my keeper leagues.
I also took Aaron Rodgers in the 10th round in my two money leagues. This was by far the best I've ever drafted in fantasy.
I had Aron Rodgers also, on the same team with Drew Brees. Tried like hell to trade him but my asking price must have been too high, that or other teams just didn't want to trade with me. It worked, I got beat in that league last week by 10 pts.

i had them both as well...traded brees for steve smith from some loser who missed the playoffs...meanwhile im in the finals this week....lolololol
you traded brees and roddy white for steve smith and jonathan stewart
i definitely made out on the deal, you just had a better overall team
ooops i forget you were on this board
i'm pretty sure i hate you more than anything
facing the incredible rjs team in :CF keeper league, I've got RB troubles via injury.
here are my RBs
Addai
Rhodes
Gore
Foster
Kevin Faulk
Jamaal Charles (obviously not going to start this guy)
If Addai is out for tonight's game, then obviously I start Rhodes. But wtf do I do if Addai does play?
Yeah so Addai is going to play, but not start.
Which one of these two jokers should I start? I'm going with Rhodes, to my demise I'm sure.
i would never start a guy who isnt starting...if he isnt healthy enough to start he generally isnt healthy enough to get big numbers and who really knows how much he plays if at all
i just made a risky power move picked up gonzalez and put him in my lineup for santana moss
I figure if the Colts blow out Jax, then they aren't gonna risk Addai's health by playing him deep into the game. And if Jax blows open a big lead, then neither of them is going to get much work.
So on balance, I'm figuring Rhodes is the smarter play.
On Sunday I get to go through this all over again with Gore/Foster. And I'm facing by far the most dominant team. Yay me.
Well that went alright.
Rhodes didn't do much on the ground, but made almost a hundred yards combined, and scored a TD. That's all you can really hope for.
Championship game for one of my non-money leagues...
McNabb vs. Skins: Rain and inaccuracy.
Cassel vs. Cards: Rain snow and wind.
Ryan vs. Vikes
I'm leaning towards McNabb, but honestly have no clue what to do.
count your money in the other leagues and don't give a farg?
agreed. there is nothing worse than a fantasy league for no money.
Quote from: phattymatty on December 19, 2008, 10:24:25 AM

a keeper league with flex positions team defense and too many teams making the playoffs for money?
Quote from: phattymatty on December 19, 2008, 10:24:25 AM
agreed. there is nothing worse than a fantasy league for no money.
and the fact that Rj is over there pacing baffled by the whole qb situation is even worse
Flex position choice:
Hines Ward @ TEN
Santana Moss vs PHI
Kevin Faulk vs. ARI
opinions?
Thats a tuffy. Faulk scored last week, but that was against the Raiders.
Ward had a good game last week against a very good D. I'd prolly' go with him.
Forget Moss he ain't done crap. He was a bust on one of my teams, and has a history of bad games against the Eagles. Plus, word is he was dealing with a concussion from the Bengals game.
I'm screwed this week at qb. Got Romo or whoever the friggen' Browns start. Have to start Romo, but I can see him blowing up with a couple picks against Baltimore.
hes gonna eat the ravens alive

18 pts. Not very good when your in the Superbowl.
theres real life football games going on today stop fagging up the board up with fantasy shtein
Shove it taterskin lover. Your just pissed 'cause you were wrong..............again.
