Quarterbacks
Sit
Donovan McNabb vs. GB
So far McNabb has had 1 game out of 4 with a better than 80 QB rating. He has yet to throw more than 1 TD in a game. He’s cracked 250 yards just once. I think he’ll get better as the season goes on (injury risks notwithstanding), but it’s time to accept the fact that he just won’t have as much value in Mike Shanahan’s system as he did in Andy Reid’s system. Play him against the really bad pass defenses. Green Bay isn’t one of them.
Brett Favre @ NYJ
Randy Moss blah blah blah double team blah blah deep threat blah. Great. We’ve seen what Darrelle Revis (assuming he’s healthy) can do to Moss — and that was when Moss was (not) catching passes from Brady. Moss definitely improves Favre’s outlook, but I’d give it a week before you bank your matchup on Favre.
Start
Sam Bradford @ DET
Bradford’s really got me in a bind. Every year I remind myself not to overvalue rookie QB’s, no matter how poised they look. The correction will happen sooner or later; they all hit a wall where the information is just coming too fast and they can’t keep up. I say all that just to make this point: Bradford isn’t your longterm solution this year, but he should be just fine against one of the worst pass defenses in the league.
Eli Manning @ HOU
I’m not much of an Eli fan…there always seems to be somebody I can draft later than him that I’d rather have. But this looks to be a great situation — Bradshaw is a little dinged up, Jacobs is perpetually in the doghouse, the Houston pass defense is terrible, and the Houston offense is good enough that the Giants will need to keep pace by throwing the ball.
Running Backs
Sit
Ahmad Bradshaw @ HOU
Bradshaw gets downgraded for all the same reasons Eli gets upgraded. I don’t see him getting enough carries, or producing enough on the limited number of carries, to be started as a true RB1 this week. He may still be better than your RB2 or Flex options but keep expectations in check (and keep an eye on his injury status).
Michael Bush vs. SD
I know you are all excited about picking up/having stashed the new Raiders RB now that McFadden is hurt, but I’d be careful about starting him over other solid options. San Diego has been pretty stout against the run so far, and with Gradkowski at the helm, Oakland seems to be willing to even out their offensive balance.
Start
Ryan Mathews @ OAK
Flipside of the same matchup. Despite some injury struggles and inconsistent usage, Mathews has put up good averages in the carries he’s gotten, and I would be surprised if he doesn’t get at least 14-16 carries this week against a poor Oakland run D. If you wanted to buy low, this might be your last chance.
Jamaal Charles @ IND
Keep the faith…I know the timeshare with Thomas Jones has been frustrating, but the Indy run D is so bad that Charles can put up RB1 numbers even on 10-12 carries. It’s hard to imagine KC trying to trade touchdowns with Indy, so I expect to see plenty of rushing to control the clock.
Wide Receivers
Sit
Malcolm Floyd @ OAK
It pains me to list Floyd here (and not just because I’m essentially stuck with him in one league). I cannot figure out why defenses continue to leave Antonio Gates uncovered right down the center of the field. But, as ridiculous as that seems to me, it does happen (and frequently), and I think San Diego will have more luck throwing over the middle of the field than testing the Oakland corners.
Larry Fitzgerald vs. NO
I was going to just put “Rookie QB.” in this space and move on, but it’s worth discussing for a minute — as odd as it seems, the move from Derek Anderson to Max Hall may benefit Fitzgerald over the rest of the season. Anderson has never been able to replicate his Pro Bowl season *cough*, and his lack of accuracy and poor decisions kill any value his strong arm might have. I’d wait to see how Max Hall looks before relying heavily on Fitzgerald, but keep your fingers crossed.
Start
Mark Clayton @ DET
He’s getting plenty of looks, and while he’s probably a marginal WR2 on most good offensives, he’s got near WR1 value just because he lucked into being Sam Bradford’s favorite target.
Calvin Johnson vs. STL
The bad news is that last week I doubted Megatron and was wrong. Mea culpa. The good news is that the Lions seem committed to forcing the ball to Johnson regardless of the QB or defense. Start him and hope for a couple endzone jumpballs over the STL corners.
Tight Ends
Sit
Tony Scheffler vs. STL
The Rams defense is much tougher over the middle, and whatever production is there will be split between Scheffler and Pettigrew. Either player won’t give you enough this week.
Start
Zach Miller vs. SD
Okay, you’re probably starting him anyway, but the Real Zach Miller deserves a shout out for his 11 catch, 122 performance last week (with a TD to boot), and I think he’s got a shot to replicate his success this week. San Diego is a tougher pass D than Houston by far, but the Chargers have a odd soft spot for opposing tight end…wait, I just figured it out. Norv Turner has a gentleman’s agreement with opposing coaches — don’t cover our tight end, and we won’t cover yours. It’s the only logical explanation.
Marcedes Lewis @ BUF
Marcedes didn’t come through for me when I recommended (and started) him earlier in the season, but that’s what you get with him — it’s the risk you take when you are stuck with waiver-level TE’s instead of a legit starter. Still, you may as well go with the guy who has the potential for a couple TD’s, and Buffalo has been weak over the middle.
Defenses
Sit
Tennessee Titans @ DAL
I suspect a lot of folks have been enjoying the Titans D so far (as I have), but if you can afford a roster spot to pick up a better matchup this week, I would. The Dallas offense hasn’t put together a really dominant performance so far, but they scare me enough to stay away.
Start
Carolina Panthers vs. CHI
I was going to mention the Rams here against Detroit, but Doc just alerted me that Jay Cutler is definitely out this week. A Mike Martz offense is already prone to sacks and turnovers — the danger is that if Cutler can stay upright, he’s got the arm to burn you. But no Cutler, no danger.
In a 1PPR league that counts return yardage, who’s better — Eddie Royal or Brandon Tate?
i am strongly considering Hillis over Forte, good move?
I just sent Forte, Lynch (used the 10th out of 10 waiver priority) and Mike Williams (TB) for Megatron. Now I’m stuck with CJ Spiller as the first RB off my bench. Did I give up way too much?
QB: Orton
RB: Rice
RB: CJ2K
WR: M. Austin
WR: C. Johnson (Mega)
WR: G. Jennings
TE: Finley
FLEX: Bradshaw
Bench: Flacco, M. Wallace, S. Smith (NYG), Spiller
You almost cost me last week by advising to sit Megatron! >=(
Good thing I started him…
Just messin with you. Thanks for the weekly helps and keep up the good work.
Thanks always!
IMO,
Shame you had to get rid of forte, but with your lineup you should be more than safe. Gotta love 10 team leagues.
#2 Hillis or bust. I’m drinking the white buffalo’s koolaid.
0.5 PPR, start torain or mathews? i’m a bit concerned about tolbert stealing some of mathews’ action, whereas torain’s all the indigenous folks have.
Doc,
Really screwed here. Have no backup to Cutler. Who’s the best of this craptastic bunch?
Ryan Fitzpatrick v Jax
David Garrard @ Buf
Vince Young@ Dal
Josh Freeman @ Cin
Matt Cassell @ Ind
With Mendy on bye, if Moreno can’t go this week, I’m kind of screwed: Maroney (@ Bal) or Spiller (vs. Jax)? Or pick up Betts if Pierre Thomas doesn’t go? Ugh.
Would you pick up the Panthers (vs. Chi) or Cowboys (vs. Ten) and bench the Vikings (@NYJ)?
Panthers or Bengals?
Which move would you rather make to pair with Cutler? If you were solid at WR and RB.
Orton – Drop Steve Smith (NYG)
Roethlisberger – Trade McFadden
@dingbat: Normally I’m pretty risk-averse, but I’d roll the dice with Tate.
@Dallas4life: Forte should get quite a bit of work with Cutler out, but I think it’s Hillis for the matchup.
@Howie Met Your Mother: I think you’re okay since it’s a 3 WR league, but damn you are loaded. Keeper league?
@WR: Hey, fantasy football is too random not to admit when you’re wrong and re-evaluate your ideas. Glad it didn’t cost you.
@batman the horse: Pretty close, Mathews has a much better matchup but you’re correct about Tolbert stealing carries. I’d lean Torain just a bit.
@AdamH: I’d go with Fitzpatrick. The Jags pass defense is pretty bad, and I don’t see them dumping 25+ carries on Fred Jackson right away.
@stumanji: I’d rather play Spiller and hope for 10+ carries. If you’ve got room, I love the Panthers matchup, but if you have to drop someone remotely valuable I think you’re okay sticking with MIN.
@Pepe Silvia: Panthers for my money.
Which side: bmarsh, cj or wayne, arian?
@Gig: Nobody other than Smith you could drop for Orton?
@Sos: Marshall and CJ for me. Arian’s great but I want to see him do it for a full season.
In a 1 PPR league I was just offered Brandon Lloyd for Ryan Torain.
Here is my current roster of RBs and WRs, and we start RB, RB, WR, WR, RB/WR:
RBs: Gore, Foster, Charles, Bradshaw, McFadden, Torain
WRs: Wayne, Nicks, Bowe, Tate (NE)
Question 1) With Bradshaw and McFadden nursing injuries I can’t afford to trade Torain right now, can I? I think I need the depth there.
Question 2) Assuming no trade goes through, and I start Gore, Foster, Wayne, and Nicks in my 2 RB and WR slots…who would you start in the flex spot from my roster? Charles or Torain? Charles because vs. Indy is better than vs. Green Bay? Or Torain because he’ll see more touches?
Thanks a lot!
Best pickup for rest of season, regardless of need, no ppr. McNabb, Crabtree, Green Ellis, Kolb or H. Ward.
@Hennessey: I’d hold with Torain. If he has a nice game you may be able to get more for him in a week or two. And that gives you time to see what happens with Bradshaw and McFadden.
I’d start Charles over Torain this week. The Indy matchup is too good.
@Hennessey: And just to make the case for accepting the trade, Lloyd is currently the 5th best WR in my league. However, Wayne is #2 and Nicks #6. Would Lloyd be a better Flex play than Torain most weeks in a 1 PPR?
@Ken Plane: Regardless of need? If we drafted today, I’d go Ward, BJGE, Crabtree, McNabb, Kolb.
@mgeoffriau: I have Choice as a lottery ticket. Could drop him. We start 1 QB, 2 WR, 2RB, W/R/T. I have (White/AJ) and didn’t see Smith doing much in non-ppr (actually got him off waivers).
@mgeoffriau: Ok, yeah, good point about the increased value I can get from him. I have Roddy White on my radar so maybe a big game from Torain will help me land White in some sort of packaged deal. Thanks again!
@Hennessey: Still don’t like it. The Denver pass offense has to slow down at some point…it’s just too hard for a team to throw 40 times a game every week. Can you buy low on someone like Steve Giant Smith?
@Gig: Hmm. Orton’s worth starting, I’d probably drop Choice before Smith, but it’s a tough call in a shallow league like that. Probably easier to replace Smith than to find someone like Choice if he lucks into a starting job.
Waiver wire question – first, here’s my roster:
QB – Brady
RB – Forte, Greene, Felix, Torain, Hightower, B. Scott
WR – Austin, Welker, Wallace, Knox, Demaryius
TE – Finley
Here’s the problem…Aaron Hernandez is available right now on waivers. Seems like a no-brainer to add him, but I already have Finley at TE and Brady and Welker for the Pats (and on bye) and if I added Hernandez, it’d be strictly for trade value. I don’t foresee any situation where I’d start him over Finley until the week 10 bye.
Is it worth it to grab and stash Hernandez or would I be better off
1. Keeping Scott or grabbing and stashing another RB sleeper like Derrick Ward, James Starks or Rashad Jennings OR
2. Picking up Lance Moore for this week and plugging him in as a starter instead of Johnny Knox. Is he even a better option?
My team is as follows w/ staters for this week listed
QB-McNabb
WR-White, Wayne, T.O
RB-Greene/Torain
TE-Cooley
Flex-M. Bush
K-Akers
D-Baltimore
Bench-Vick, Big Ben(bye), McCoy, Brown(bye), Ward(bye), Hester
For this week I planned on starting Greene/Torain/Bush but if McCoy plays should I start him over Greene?
Also, since I have Hester on my bench who is useless would you drop him and grab Shaun Hill, Kolb or Garrard to replace McNabb this week? I’m facing the first place team who will most likely destroy me but I figure I gotta give it a shot sitting at 2-2.
@Calogero: If Hernandez is still available, how good he have to play for him to have any significant trade value? If anything, I’d consider picking him up and seeing if you can turn Finley into a significant upgrade at RB or WR.
@Nick: If McCoy looks okay, but I’d be very careful…it’s not like Andy Reid is known for being in love with the run, and while McCoy is a good pass catcher, the gimpiness could affect him even if he starts. I don’t like McNabb this week (and I don’t have a problem with dropping Hester), but I don’t see any of those 3 as much of an upgrade. I guess the high risk, high reward option would be Hill, and hoping he hits Megatron 3 or 4 times in the endzone.
@mgeoffriau: Yeah, you’re right, I’d probably be getting Lloyd when his best days are already behind him. And I’d rather not have Steve Giant Smith right now, only because I already own Nicks and I don’t want the headache of guessing who to start each week. BUT, I would buy low on Smith if the trade I just offered is accepted…My Nicks/A. Hernandez for Roddy White. Roddy’s owner is weak at TE and might bite.
@Hennessey: Yeah, that would work. Especially in football with limited roster spots, it pays to think about making multiple trades (assuming there’s enough active trade partners in the league)…that way you can take on a player you don’t “need” if it’s good value and flip him for something else.
@mgeoffriau: That’s actually not a bad idea. If Hernandez looks like he can put up 7-9 points a week, that’s not a big downgrade to Finley’s 9-11 points and I might be able to push Finley for the elusive RB2 or in a package for an RB1.
I’ve been trying to get rid of Welker for an RB, but people in my league are attached to RB. I actually offered Welker straight-up for Forsett early last week, and to my delight the other owner rejected it. If I could trade Welker/Finley/Hightower for something like Mendy/Smith(NYG) or Charles/Larry Fitz, should I try that?
If PT doesn’t play this week, who do you like better between Betts and Ivory in a non-PPR league?
@Calogero: Love the idea, not sure about those combos. The price on Mendy will probably be pretty high, and Fitz is a tough call…if you wait till he has a good game or two, the price will go up. But that’s nitpicking, really, run with the idea.
@stumanji: Ugh…I think Ivory. Just looked like he ran harder. Hopefully Peyton won’t get all Kubiaky over the lost fumble.
@Calogero: if someone offered me Welker for Forsett, I’d first have to slap myself to make sure I wasn’t asleep and dreaming, and then I’d click accept faster than NYG can rack up sacks against Jay-sus Cutler…
@Wilsonian: Seriously…I offered Forsett for Aaron Hernandez and got an angry reply for my trouble. Forsett for Mike Wallace got shot down too.
My QB options this week: Kolb, Bradford, or Palmer?
Should I start Shaun Hill vs STL or Kevin Kolb @SF this week??
Trying to find the loophole to snag A-Her in a 12 teamer, but I don’t see anyone to drop. What do you think? (We play 1 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 W/R Flex)
QB: Cutler/Bradford
WR: Wayne, Austin, Ward, Williams (TB), Tate, DezB
RB: Bradshaw, Torain, Moreno, Beanie
TE: Keller
Also on Monday, in a different league, would you drop Carolina (who’s just a BYE week fill in) for Moreno (when I have CJ2K, Hillis, Best, DMC already) or would you pick up A-Her for a backup to Keller?
Much obliged.
@TonyD: I just picked up Hill to start over my McNabb and waivers Kolb. I think Detroit is going to have to go to the pass early as StL & Bradford will be putting up points. You also can’t tell me StL’s secondary is better than that of GB or Philly who Shaun Hill went to town on…
@Iceman: Ignore anything I say about Palmer…I don’t like him, even as I watch him hit 300 yards I still think he looks terrible. That said — Bradford.
@TonyD: Not a huge Kolb fan, but I think he’s the safer play.
@Wilsonian: Yeah, you’re pretty well roster-locked. My first thought was to drop Mike Williams, but he’s pretty valuable in a 3 WR + Flex 12 teamer.
I’d take Moreno over Hernandez, a real shot at a starting RB is more valuable than a 2nd TE.
Stuck in a bind this week at RB after failing to land waivers, what do you like best?
Jacobs- hopefully bradshaw is limited
McCluster-hoping for a long TD
Betts- if PT doesn’t go
Also has anyone heard if Run DMC is for sure out this week or not?
1: Cutler is out for week 5. Not sure who I would drop for a QB. I could drop my DST/Kicker and just take the 0 since I have good matchups. I could maybe try to swing a 2 for 1 trade in time for Sunday somehow?
2: I have #1 waiver and Hernadez is available. I don’t need him but I see at least 2 teams who could use a TE. Do I use it and maybe try a trade or at least block them? I don’t have someone to drop though. But I think this is moot with Cutler out?
12 Team NonPPR 4point Pass TD / Bonus Pass/Rush/Rec yards
QB: Cutler
WR: Andre Johnson vs NYG
WR: Colston @ ARI
RB: SJax @ DET
RB: Hillis vs ATL
TE: Finley @ WAS
FLEX: Charles @ IND
K: Rackers
DST: Bengals
Bench: Ben – Torain – Lynch – Knox – Tate
Thank ya.
My RBs are Mendy, Foster, Moreno, and Spiller. Mendy is on bye this week and Foster next week. With Moreno ailing, trade Malcolm Floyd for Torain? Other WRs are Wayne, Colston, Bowe, Tate.
@Wilsonian: That offer was last Monday, after Forsett had just gotten 17 carries on Sunday. But still, I think I would have canceled it myself when I got home that night and questioned my sanity had he not rejected it.
My friend, my friend. Do you still sit Bradshaw in a PPR league?
Also, here’s a very interesting trade that just went down in my 14 team league….Randy Moss for Tom Brady straight up. Very interesting.
Thanks.
Howie Met your Mother has to be in either a keeper league or a 4 team league. You can’t get Ray Rice and CJ4.24 otherwise, no matter how dumb the other people in your league are.
@DSimms: Betts, Jacobs, McCluster. McCluster leapfrogs if you get return yards. Jacobs leapfrogs if Bradshaw looks like a no-go.
@MJD Took A Knee: I’d probably lose Knox, shouldn’t be too hard to replace his production if someone else picks him up.
@stumanji: I think you can afford to do that. Floyd just doesn’t look like a priority target for Rivers.
@emceeperiod: Depends so much on his health. Jacobs is a better pass catcher than people realize and I don’t think the Giants are scared of using him in that role (apart from them just hating him in general).
Brady for Moss makes my head hurt. Can’t figure who’s value is heading in what direction.
Even a 4 teamer is pushing it…you’d have be drafting 1st (and 5th), right? Otherwise Rice is gone by #6. Sadly, my league shifted to a keeper status but decided to draft fresh for this year…I had Ray Rice in the 5th or 6th round last year, would have been lovely to keep him at that value.
I’m having trouble deciding my lineup for the WR spot and a separate W/R/T spot.
I have Lance Moore, Santonio Holmes, Brandon Jacobs.
I like Moore vs the Cardinals. Looks like Jacobs might be the feature back with Bradshaw not practicing this week. Holmes had a good preseason. It might carry over to his first week back. Tough call.
Need a replacement for Titans D, MG. Whaddya think?
Rams @ Det
Bears @ Car
Jags @ Buf
Browns vs. Atl
Or stick with Titans?
@Rookie Season: I’d sit Holmes until we see how he fits into the offense.
@TheEvilEmpire: I’d play the Rams or the Bears over the Titans. Bears first I think.
Also trying to decide on a QB play this week with Cutler out. I’m leaning Fitzpatrick but I also see on the wire:
Alex Smith vs. Philly
Hill vs. Rams
Kolb @ SF
I can’t even decide on thong or crotchless in the morning so please make this decision for me.
@TheEvilEmpire: I think Kolb is the safest option there…with McCoy likely still dinged up, he should throw plenty.
@mgeoffriau: thanks man. I was really trying to figure out a way, but it doesn’t look there’s a loophole, barring an injury.
I was leaning Moreno as well, I’m hoping he actually doesn’t play (or doesn’t play well) this week so I can pick him up on Monday. Otherwise, I have a feeling he may not be around when I need to snag him.
@mgeoffriau: Thank ya. I wasn’t even looking at Knox but I guess you are right. I really liked him but I might be able to grab him later on again since this week he should be bad.
Who to drop for Fred Jackson?
QB – Garrard, Big Ben (We start 1)
WR – Jennings, Austin, Devrey, Garcon, Breaston (we start 3 WR and 1 WR/RB)
RB – Rice, Hillis, Forte, Forsett, McGahee, Buckhalter (we start 2, plus 1 WR/RB)
I’m tempted to drop either Garcon or Breaston, but am also considering McGahee (RR handcuff) or Buckhalter (will only be bye week play)
@MJD Took A Knee: A trick I use when I’m debating dropping a player is to consider the scenario as if he were already on the waiver wire, and I had to use my #1 waiver priority to pick someone. Would I take that player? Would he really be my first choice out of everyone available? If he’s clearly the first player I’d take, then I’ve got to keep him. If there’s any question in my mind, then that means I can probably drop him.
@jeff: I’d probably drop Buckhalter…his value is so limited. Even if Moreno and Maroney were both injured, I’d bet money that the Broncos would find someone else to split carries with Buckhalter.
i am stacked at WR and i am not sure who i should start/sit i have Desean JAckson, HAckeem nicks(both are starting) so that leaves two more for the flex
Austin Collie
MArk Clayton
Santonio Holmes
Louis murphy
as of right now my starting line up is
P.manning
Adrian Peterson
Peyton Hillis
H. Nicks
D. JAckson
V. Davis
A. Collie
M. Clayton
Should i stick with this line-up?
I have Brandon Loyd,Forte,Moreno,Holmes,L.murphy, Torain on the bench.
@Dallas4life: Be aware that Collie is apparently still limping and couldn’t really practice today. If he’s limited on Sunday, I’d swap Lloyd in.
Who would you start in a Flex spot in a PPR league
Crabtree
Torrain
Knox
F Jones
@Steve Mc: Torain. I know it’s PPR, but the others are too risky I think.
I have AP. I have Ryan Torain, LT, J Stew, Brandon Jackson, and Peyton Hillis. Will any of those backs pan out for the rest of the season as #2 RBs and a flex, or should I package some of them for a more solid #2
@Mike: Hehe, you want a more solid #2?
Sorry. Yeah, if you can work a package deal for a RB2 upgrade, I’d do it. I’d be most willing to deal B-Jax, then Hillis, then Stewart, then LT, then Torain.
@mgeoffriau: that’s how I looked at picking up Brandon Tate instead of Moreno. I already had CJ2K, Best, Hillis, DMC and thought with Moreno’s hammy Tate’s upside made him the best thing on the WW, and I had to make sure he wasn’t snagged up by anyone else.
@Wilsonian: It’s gonna suck when Hernandez posts 1200 yards and 19 TD’s the rest of the way and you hate me.
i need to start someone in cutler’s place this week:
how would you rank the following:
hasselbeck, garrard, shaun hill, gradkowski, sanchez
i also have tight end troubles this week:
owen daniels, shockey, pettigrow, scheffler, todd heap, greg olsen, moeacki, celek?
it seems like a crapshoot.
although does all of fantasy football lately :(
@dja: I’d probably roll with Sanchez and Moeaki. Definitely wouldn’t touch Hasselbeck or Scheffler, Pettigrew, Owen Daniels, or Todd Heap.
@mgeoffriau: That is pretty good. I actually have the #1 waiver as well. I dropped Williams TB for Tate when I should have dropped Knox. So Williams TB – Knox – Hernandez (bad drop even before Moss trade) are on waivers. I would take both over Knox right now. Thank you for the advice.
@mgeoffriau: you might be ok, though, because if Moreno is gone Monday morning, then A-Her will be joining me.
im nervous about louis murphy in my ppr league. who would u grab… mike thomas, steve johnson, mike williams (tb), nate washington?
@Leroy: Mike Williams TB. Not a great pass offense but he’s the #1 target.
do u like mike thomas for ppr? or not enough offense there to make him worthwhile. i noticed he has a really easy schedule coming up…
Right now I have Bush in my flex (hehe). Would you recommend starting Clayton or LDT (tough matchup) over him?
which d/st would you run out there this week out of:
car vs. chi
sd @ oak
stl @ det
atl @ cle
gb @ was
i like defenses at home usually but these all seem startable…
14-team PPR. McNabb isn’t cutting it on my team. I’m thinking of offering McNabb and Maclin to the Flacco – I’m thinking that Flacco has seen some of the toughest D’s to start the year and should take advantage of an improving schedule for the rest of the year. I’ll be left with Miles Austin, Hakeem Nicks, Dwayne Bowe, Brandon Tate, and Julian Edelman for my 2 WR slots and occasionally RB/WR spot due to bye weeks. Flacco a good upgrade to make this trade worth it?
Two quickies for a 12-team, 0.5ppr
Who would you rather have the rest of the way?
1) Gore or Foster?
2) Best or Mathews?
@Leroy: He is looking like he is out playing MSW, but I don’t know if we’ll see consistency anytime soon. I think you can wait on him.
@Asdrubal Bastardo: I would stick with Bush. Stick, get it?
@paulzone: With Collins in I’m leaning Carolina.
@nick m.: I think you are giving up too much. When Vick gets back Maclin should be a good WR2.
@Commish Cauda: Gore and hmmm, Best, but I would like to see him go all out this week.
How would you rank these rbs (prob will have to drop one or two)…J. Harrison, Forsett and B-Jax. Also, D. Mason or Britt? Thanks
Hey Doc, this week: bears D or Chargers D? (its a great choice to have, obviously)
If Bradshaw plays, who would you bench out of Best, SJax, Hillis and Bradshaw? Non-ppr.
@ASAOK: Mason. Keep an eye out for Hillis, he has a thigh injury, but it doesn’t seem too bad. None have huge upside right now. I like Harrison, Forsett, BJax
@Joel: Leaning Bears
@Joel: Hillis
so i am absolutely f’d at RB in one league with mendenhall out and also owning knowshon and mcfadden (my only viable back is ryan matthews).
the puke that i can choose from is:
ladell betts
mike bell
lagarrette blount
rashad jennings
chester taylor
kevin smith
what do you recommend, oh wise one? should i just bench everyone and chalk up the loss?
12 team Dynasty League, would you drop Steve Slaton for LeGarrette Blount?
@Bad Bob: I would
Got no stinkin’ wr2 in my $$ league (standard scoring), this week: start R. Williams, Bowe or Knox? Thank ya kindly…
@nadaidea: Williams
Who do I start in my flex (PPR):
Mathews, Torain, Moore, Dez, Cribbs (return league 1 per 20)
or Wells is an option too.
@I’m Thinking RB’s: I like Mathews.
Should I make any changes to my Week 5 roster? Having trouble choosing S. Moss over P. Harvin and K. Walter. Even more trouble choosing L. Tomlinson over J. Best.
QB – P. Rivers vs. OAK
WR – D. Jackson vs. SF
WR – S. Moss vs. GB
RB – M. Jones-Drew vs. BUF
RB – J. Addai vs. KC
FLEX – L. Tomlinson vs. MIN
K – N. Rackers
D/ST – San Diego vs. OAK
—
BN – K. Orton vs. BAL
BN – P. Harvin vs. NYJ
BN – K. Walter vs. NYG
BN – J. Best vs. ST.L
BN – J. Snelling vs. CLE
BN – Minnesota D/ST vs. NYJ
Need help this week:
2 RB’s (no PPR)
A. Bradshaw, M. Tolbert, M. Barber, T. Hightower, M. Bell, B. Jackson, M. Lynch (BYE)
3 WR’s (PPR)
R. Moss, M. Thomas, J. Maclin, D. Amendola, Marshall (BYE)
Also was offered a trade – Marshall (MIA) for Moore (NO) & Best (DET)
If I can get by this week, i’ll get Lynch as an everyday #1 next week, with Bradshaw will that be enough? My bench is filled with a bunch of #3/4 RB’s.
I have MJD, Hillis, Best, and LT. I think I’m starting MJD but I need to pick another RB. Hillis or Best?
