Both of my drafts left me with a lot of questions, and I know others here like hearing what the rest of CF has to say. God knows why.
So for team 1...
Devery Henderson vs. Vikings
or
Devin Aromashodu vs. Detroit
It's a PPR league
Team 2
Got a WR/RB flex position to fill between these guys:
Jahvid Best vs. Chicago
Ahmad Bradshaw vs. Carolina
Pierre Garcon vs. Houston
Robert Meachem vs. Vikings
Jabar Gaffney vs. Jacksonville
This league is not PPR
Aromatherapy and Best.
I was leaning towards both. Thank you, rjs.
Shotgun and mouth. Do it.
Rashard Mendenhall or Matt Forte
Pick one of:
Jeremy Maclin
Demaryius Thomas
Braylon Edwards
Chris Chambers

I'm not running Andy Reid's offense, thanks.
Phreak-That's tough. Is it PPR? Even with the down year last year Forte still had 50 catches. He looked good in preseason and while the falcons don't have the best D in the world, it's certainly better than Detroits....I'd go Forte.
As for the WR's, I'd go with Maclin. Thomas isn't starting over Gaffney and Royal, Edwards didn't look good in preseason and is in a run first O going against the Ravens D, and Chambers is old and despite being in the Chiefs offense he's still the 2nd option in the pass attack (Maybe even 3rd after Jamaal Charles)
PPR
I wonder about Mendenhall at the goal line and against ATL. I am leaning towards Forte & Maclin
hah, yeah I don't why I said Titans. But pretty much the same thing can be said about their D

Mendenhall. You know the Steelers are going to try and run the ball to take pressure off Dixon. And Forte has to run around Ndmoiadngioafgjkong.
Chambers is a sleeper pick too. After getting cut by the Chargers last year, Chambers had like 70-80 yds and a TD against them with the Chiefs.
.........farging Devery.
i would have said devery and bradshaw but too late now.
In our keeper I had to decide between Percy Harvin last night or Jerome Harrison on Sunday for the flex position. I went with Harvin figuring he'd show up under the prime time lights of the season opener.
But I knew what was going to happen: Harvin was going to beg off on account of a headache and Harrison is going to put up 200yds/2tds (which he will of course not come close to repeating again all season, no matter how many times I start him).
Harvin didn't have a headache, but he didn't really have a football game either. So I'm on track. Which is nice.
Made a trade to try and improve my WR core. Traded Best and Braylon Edwards for Donald Driver and Bradshaw. Pick two of these RB's, all of which have great farging matchups, in a PPR league
Steven Jackson vs. OAK
Jamaal Charles vs. CLE
Ahmad Bradshaw vs. IND
Brandon Jackson vs. BUF
And pick 2 of these WR's for the same league:
Donald Driver vs. BUF (probably picking him anyway)
Jabar Gaffney vs. SEA
Santana Moss vs. HOU
Devin Aromashodu vs. DAL
Devery Henderson vs. SF
Legedu Naanee vs. JAC
i'm seriously considering sitting Moss and starting Maclin this week. I'm afraid moss will get stuck on revis island.
toss up. could be a smokescreen by the Jets saying that Revis will blanket Moss all day. Last week, Revis only played the one side of the field all night and covered whoever was over there.
last game against the Jets, Welker had 15 catches for 190 yards. If they are smart, they put Revis on Welker, and use roll coverage on Moss on the outside.
Isn't Revis also nursing a bum hamstring?
I'm sure he does from the lack of practice, but if he doesn't it's a great cover up just in case Moss burns him after all that shtein talking he's done.
should I dump Percy Harvin? he's injured, he's got another headache, his QB sucks...
answers from anyone in our Keeper will be ignored
You can't ignore me. And yes, you should dump him. Or at least trade me Frank Gore for Mike Sims-Walker.
You should cut Sims-Walker and pick up Austin Collie before I cut Harvin for him.
Austin Collie isn't available in the keeper league
he was until I tricked you into picking him up five minutes ago, sucka
lol
In all serious though, if I had Harvin on my roster, I'd probably cut him. Then again, I'd never have Percy Harvin on my roster because I'm smart enough to not draft a guy who gets headaches.
I think I'll dump him for Manningham.
Pay attention Keeper coaches, the master making moves:
Harvin now gone. So is some guy I had from Pit who hasn't done shtein. farg Pittsburgh.
Two rookies are now on the roster: Mike Williams and Demaryiouis Thomas.
Who should I offer in trade for Greg Jennings?
Darren McFadden
Matt Forte
Rashard Mendenhall
Michael Turner
none of the above
it's a long season
If he'd take McFadden for Jennings, I'd immediately do that. Who knows how it plays out when Bush comes back, and the other three don't really split carries
I also believe Forte is going to have a season like his rookie year
Quote from: Diomedes on September 22, 2010, 08:30:51 PM

should of thought about those words when you dumped the Vikings #1 receiver in week 2
It's a Keeper. I need to lay something aside for winter.. One of these two rookies is going to pay off for me.
Besides, F Harvin. Headaches and injuries and lol. He's no DeSean.
I also have Marshawn Lynch stashed in case he is the #1 in BUF or the deal him to GB (or elsewhere)
I am thinking of offering up Forte or McFadden.
I agree with Thawk, but I need a stud WR
Offer up McFadden first and see if you get a bite. He's going to split carries with Bush when he comes back, there's no doubt about that, so his fantasy value pretty much only stands to drop in the next week or 2.
He said that all of his WR are open for bids; so I bid on Andre Johnson and Greg Jennings
Michael Turner & Mike Sims-Walker for Andre Johnson
Darren McFadde for Greg Jennings
I could start Mendenhall every week and then play matchup with Forte, Lynch and McFadden should he accept the Johnson deal
He countered with Andre Johnson for Matt Forte and Jeremy Maclin.
I couldn't hit accept fast enough.
Well you do have a good track record when it comes to trading for Texans players.
ouch.
die!
I'm just saying I've got Andre on my keeper league team and if you jinx him I'll be very upset.

Lynch and McFadden aren't starters. you're farged
Speaking of my keeper league, I was just offered Tim Hightower and Hakeem Nicks for Ahmad Bradshaw. It's a strange league, they wanna keep the top players rotating so you can only keep guys you drafted in the 4th round or later...I don't like it, but I find it interesting. But with that rule I will be able to keep Jahvid Best and Jamaal Charles....so giving up Bradshaw won't be a huge blow.
yeah, take that.
generally speaking two for one deals are only good if you're the one giving two, because it means you found a sucker who will part with his starting caliber player for two semi-starters, and will then have to cut a semi-starter to make room
dumb
Yeah...this move really only helps me improve my bench WRs. I got Moss and Andre in the first two rounds, and have been using a 3rd RB in my flex position (currently starting P. Thomas, Charles, and Best)...but my WR's behind those two have done nothing so far, and bye weeks are starting next week.
Pick two/three
Mendenhall
Turner
McFadden
I'm leaning towards Mendenhall and McFadden
Saints D has been kind of soft the first 2 weeks, and Turner is due to have a breakout game...dunno what the status is on his injury though
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on September 25, 2010, 08:37:49 PM
Pick two/three
Mendenhall
Turner
McFadden
I'm leaning towards Mendenhall and McFadden
Definitely McFadden because it sounds most like McNabb. I'm indifferent on your other pick.
Good point. I think you're onto something there.
Wish I could have Steve McNair too. His corpse probably throws better than half the QBs in the league now.
Andre Johnson injured.
lol..my luck is awesome
Goddamnit Phreak what did we just talk about?
I hope that Ronnie Brown and Darren McFadden both have games that will make me not regret keeping CJ Spiller and Thomas Jones on the bench.
Disclaimer:
Ignore ALL my advice in this thread going forward. I am awful at managing fantasy teams.
On behalf of both of my money league teams and Jamaal Charles owners everywhere...farg Thomas Jones
Need srs help
Pick 2:
Jamal Charles vs. Indy
S. Jackson vs. Det
A. Bradshaw vs. Houston
Pick 1
Santana Moss vs GB
Brandon Lloyd vs BAL
Devery Henderson vs ARI
Other league
Inujred Andre Johnson vs NYG
Randy Moss vs. Jets
Jeremy Maclin vs. SF
Hakeem Nicks vs. Hou
I need to drop someone for a backup TE...
Beanie Wells
Vincent Jackson
Justin Forsett
Ben Jarvis-Ellis
All of them.
Vincent Jackson...even if he does report, the Chargers aren't going to use him. Egos almost as big as my schlong
Vincent Jackson's Ego<<<THawk's Dong<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Joselio's Dong
Not just Jackson's ego, but also the FO of the Chargers. That team is a wreck
So in one of my money leagues, I've had great depth all year it seems, after starting off not having any at all at WR. So i've been making moves, trying to build a super team to win the championship. A couple weeks ago I traded Big Ben, Steven Jackson, Marshawn Lynch, and Santana Moss for Chris Johnson, Larry Fitz, and Mike Williams (TB). The guy had Chris Johnson and Romo, and once Romo went down he really had nobody. At least it looked that way, as Fitz was having a real slow year up until that point and Williams had a slow couple of weeks. Since he's traded them to me they've been great. But he got 3 starters out of it for his team, and Lynch who is actually better than most of the other guys he has at RB. His team still won't begood enough to beat mine.
So now my roster stands as this
QBs: Brady, Freeman
RBs: Chris Johnson, Jamal Charles, Ahmad Bradshaw
WRs: Roddy White, Larry Fitzgerald, Brandon Lloyd, Mike Williams, Jabar Gaffney, Donald Driver
TEs: Jason Witten,
K: Bironas
D: Eagles
We only start 2 RBs and 3 WRs, so now that bye weeks are done, I'm gonna be benching a RB and a WR every week that would be starting elsewhere, and probably will drive me crazy when they outscore the guy I start ahead of them. I'm thinking of risking my depth and making one more trade to build my "super team". The risks are if I give away a couple of these guys to get another stud WR or a better fantasy QB like Manning, then my depth is shot. If a RB or WR gets hurt, it hurts me bad. The reward is, obviously, that if all guys stay healthy, I should be unstoppable. And the good thing is that guys like Manning, AP, Hakeem Nicks, etc are all on teams that are so bad, that those guys can't carry them, and I could swing a deal to get one of those guys I think.
Too long, didn't read, I know...but any thoughts? Yes I am over thinking fantasy football way too much.
I used to think about fantasy football a lot too.
My interest has fallen off, and I have no idea what you should do past killing yourself.
Yeah, you probably could have just posted the roster and said how many for each position. Now, I'm more concerned about your opponent. I feel bad for him and because of that, won't offer any advice.
lol. I don't care who you think i should start (though that would help), I'm trying to see if anyone thinks I should try to pull off another trade and sacrifice my depth. I'd be an injury away from starting Jabar Gaffney or Donald Driver at WR, or god knows who off the waiver wire at RB.
Depth is overrated. The Cowboys were a broken collarbone away from starting Kitna for the rest of the season and they aren't doing any worse than they were before.
So all year long I've gone with Jennings, Maclin and Calvin Johnson as my receivers and all 3 have decent match ups this week. But I've also got Manningham on my bench and I really like that match up as well, especially since the Giants are missing some guys on offense due to injury.
So pick 3.
stay with your starters
vick or brees.
vick is hot but playing a good defense.
brees has been hit or miss this year but is playing seattle at home and seattle is especially bad on the road.
given the same choice I'd go with brees just to avoid playing an Eagle....and end up regretting it
Quote from: SunMo on November 20, 2010, 08:06:24 PM
stay with your starters
I'm playing you this week, so your opinion doesn't count.
Is Mike Williams worth starting over Andre Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald? Crazy sounding question I know. But here's my thinking:
Johnson @ NYJ: ankle issue nags him, Schaub is banged up and not as mobile as usual, Johnson will be on Revis Island all day
Fitz @ KC: his quarterback f'n sucks
Williams @ SF: coming off a DWB not-drunk DUI arrest, possibly looking to prove something, coach said he will play (but not if he'll start), SF defense not so good
Can't use Williams in my flex slot because doing so would mean benching MJD, Gore, or Bradshaw...not gonna do that of course.
I wouldn't start him over Andre, but in my money league my #3 WR slot the last two weeks has been between Fitzgerald and Williams and I've gone with Fitz both times.
I went with Fitz and Johnson. We'll see.
Yeah so, I should have sat Andre Johnson. Looking like a loss this week.
Yah really, what a shtein game from Johnson. Figured with all those red zone opportunities Houston would have got him the ball in at least one of them.
So I decided at the last minute to bench Maclin in favor of Manningham. My "logic" is that I've got a 30 pt lead on sunny but he's still got 4 players to go, one of them being Vick, so any points Maclin gets me are basically a wash since Vick will be the one throwing to him. We'll see how that works out for me.
Btw....my decision to start Sanchez over Brady was money.
Yah but on the other end, wouldn't getting the points from Maclin limit the damage done to your lead by Vick?
Quote from: Munson on November 21, 2010, 08:44:32 PM
Yah but on the other end, wouldn't getting the points from Maclin limit the damage done to your lead by Vick?
Obviously. Basically I decided that a 30 pt lead wasn't enough given the other players he has going (Vick, Nicks, Shady and Gates) so I needed a player who can get me a positive gain instead of just breaking even.
Well that didn't work out at all. Although even had I played Maclin, I'd be about tied with sunny and he still has Gates tomorrow. Meh.
I've got a must win next week in my keeper league and my already "meh" #2 and 3 RB's (Fred Jackson and Blount) face Pittsburgh and Baltimore. lol awesome
And my backups are Jahvid Best who hasn't done shtein since week 2 and Pierre Thomas who...well, yeah.
Might have to bench one of those guys and put Maclin in the flex instead.
Have you seen the Baltimore D? Not what it used to be, yesterday's game notwithstanding. Peyton Hillis ran over and through them all day earlier this year. Blount could do the same.
i snuck into the playoffs as an 8 seed with a 6-7 record and just destroyed the 1st place team. oops.
I just knocked my old roommate out on that Andre Johnson TD, and he just dropped Fred Jackson cause his friend is playing me and has number waiver priority. Sorry guy, I'm the commisioner and that's not happening.
Kenny Britt vs HOU or Maclin @ NYG?
Britt
Houston gives up more yards and TDs to recievers than any other team this year.
That's what I was thinking when I picked him up a couple of days ago. It must be homerism that prevented me from inserting him in the lineup
Luckily I couldn't lose in the Maclin vs. Britt decision
In one of my championship games, I need help at WR so I picked up MIN backup backup QB Joe Webb because Yahoo! lists him as a WR too. Is this a sleazy move? It feels dirty
Nothing wrong with that....your opponent had the same opportunity.
I wouldn't do it though, out of fear that somehow the points wouldn't actually post, that it's just a display typo and his actual stats register as QB, etc.
McFadden
Turner
Mendenhall
Two of the three.
Roddy White vs NO
Larry Fitzgerald vs. DAL
Mike Williams vs. SEA
Brandon Lloyd vs. HOU
Pick 3.
I benched Lloyd last week because of Tebow and it worked out, as the other guys had better days....but Houston's pass D is terrible. I'm torn.
Mendenhall and McFadden
Roddy White obviously. Larry Fitzgerald and Mike Williams
Lloyd/Fitz is a tossup.
I have more faith in Larry Fitzgerald producing with his zesty QB than Lloyd producing with Tebow
I tend to agree but really: tossup.
I should add that it's PPR so Fitz is the safe play....I'm just gonna be pissed if he puts up a stinker and Lloyd goes off for 2 TDs against the zesty Texans secondary
which one: bradshaw or jacobs?
or both (hey, it worked against SunMo's paper champs), and bench: rashad jennings (MJD is out) or blount
Gotta keep Blount in there...dude's on a roll (and on my other championship team)
I might say farg both of them and go with Jennings against Washington.
I'm going with three RBs (one in my flex).
So it's Blount, Jennings, and.....which one?

I should add that it's PPR so Fitz is the safe play....I'm just gonna be pissed if he puts up a stinker and Lloyd goes off for 2 TDs against the zesty Texans secondary
yes, PPR makes Fitz the smart play.
I'd go with Bradshaw simply because he'll be involved in both the run and passing game. Jacobs is most likely only going to score if they're down in close. Bradshaw's actually seemed to benefit from the new time share (minus last week against the Eagles)
That's my calculus as well.
Here's my other team's situation (non-PPR), one that has me more and more confused.
I need to fill a WR slot and a WR/Flex slot between these guys:
Fred Jackson vs. NE
Hakeem Nicks @ GB
Jeremy Maclin vs. MIN
Pierre Garcon @ OAK
Pierre Thomas @ ATL
Nicks is going against a good GB secondary. Jackson's last few weeks have sucked, but ESPN posted an interesting blurb about how he's close to 1000 yards and last year BUF fed him the ball a ton to get him to a 1000, so they might do the same this year. Maclin's facing a terrible MIN team, but he's been inconsistent fantasy-wise. And the pierre's are afterthoughts right now but worth mentioning just in case.
If Andre Johnson can't go it's a moot point and I'll just start Nicks and Maclin and put Jackson in the Flex.
Help me pick my 3 keepers to defend my championship next season. The points scored still aren't updated with this weeks scores, but whatever
Michael Vick 300
Jamaal Charles 208
Lagarrette Blount 122
Fred Jackson 138
Chris Ivory 88
Hakeem Nicks 165
Jeremy Maclin 149
Michael Crabtree 99
Pierre Garcon 96
Jason Witten 136
Pittsburgh D 165
Vick and Charles are the obvious ones....I was leaning towards Nicks most of the year, but Blount made a strong case for himself....and I'm stupidly giving thought to Witten or the Pitt D too for some reason.
PPR?
As of right now, no, but there will be an offseason gathering of owners to decide on any rule changes as I've been clamoring for some sort of PPR system all year.
You have to declare your keepers before the powwow? That makes no sense if you change rules.
If it's PPR, Blount's value isn't great.
No, we can declare up until around our draft next season, I'm just trying to get as many opinions as I can. If they make the switch to PPR I think I'll def go with Nicks of Witten, but yeah.
Okay, you are not smart.
This isn't worth thinking about until after that meeting. And not just because your idiot league might change scoring rules.
I'll let you figure out why else yourself, or at least poll a lot of dumb people so you can consider their awesome opinions.
It's never too early to get thoughts of others. Calm down salty man.
Other people's thoughts--especially their opinions--are almost totally worthless.
Someone pissed in your cornflakes today, eh Dio
I rest my case.
