anyone else highly regret drafting Roddy White considering that Tony G is getting more targets now?

[Bonecrshr]

well, being a Gonzales owner, I'm cool with the current arrangement. It'll even out tho and White will be just fine IMO

[Nainoa]

That'll change...

It was bound to be the case early in the season, as opposing DC's have a year's worth of tape on Ryan and White's plays...

They have no tape on Tony and Ryan's plays...

As things change it will open up for roddy.

[FatWhiteKid]

Tony G is an amazing TE, and Ryan loves throwing to him. I'm so glad i picked him up, 2 solid weeks for a TE. Right now I'm in trouble with Barber out, 118 to 103 is the projected score this week with me being 103 obviously. Picked up Buckhalter, gonna need a good game from him for sure.

[dirtdickens]

Right now Turner is avg like 3.4 yds a carry and has less than 5 carries inside the redzone. At some point(which will probably be soon) the running game will start paying off. Like Nai said teams will adjust and things will get back to normal somewhat. White wont produce like last year because Ryan literally looked at him every single play-his targets were insane, but he will still be a better play than 85% of the WRs out there.

Belichick said that he is going to key on stopping Tony Gonzalez this Sunday which will probably be rolling a safety over by TG and leaving White plenty of 1v1 coverage. And Turner will probably have a decent game against the Pats this week too.

If the Pats do stick to the plan of trying to key on TG then Roddy is going to have his breakout game of the season.

[Mark004]

Was doing a little research and saw that Jax D is actually currently ranked 14th. (I thought it was 4th.)

With this correction in mind... I ammend my advice... You should start Slaton.

With that in mind, who do I bench

Pick 3
Slaton at Jax
Gore at Min
Chris Johnson at Jets
Fred Jackson at N.O

remember ppr league

Start Gore/Slaton


Jackson/Johnson both have tough run defenses to face. I'd lean towards sitting Jackson as NO will likely get a lead and then the Bills will start playing the catchup game. After Johnson last week I don't know how I'd sit him.



Also how in the FUHK did you land those 3 RBs? You must have some stupid guys in that league!!

I don't know, draft was messed up this year, and I was the only person who realized the commish set it up so that there was a WR/RB flex. Everyone was so concerned with getting a top flight receiver, especially since it was a ppr league, that they forgot guys like Gore were around. Steven Jackson, Slaton, Gore and Deangelo Williams all fell way too late, and I just drafted the best player available. Fitzgerald, Moss, Andre Johnson, and Calvin Johnson were all picked in the first round. Brady Brees and Manning all went in the second, along with guys like Roddy White, Jennings, Boldin, etc. I was both surprised and happy to see the Rb's still on the table, especially Slaton in the early third.

I also got lucky that I picked up Manningham on the wire, already have Dallas Clark, and Vincent Jackson is developping into a star. Romo and Mcnabb = a solid 1/2 punch. I think I can win my league this year, especially if Tj Houshmanzdeh can develop.

[saaltydog]

I would have to go with Slaton Johnson and Gore.

[Fabs23]

Id sit Gore or Slaton. This is the last week Jackson is going to see all the touches so he's going to bring it knowing he needs to make a strong case he should be starting RB

[saaltydog]

Doesn't really matter how much he brings it. If the Bills fall behind early they aren't going to be giving him the ball.

[Hishiad]

With the matchups that Slaton and Gore have sitting either would be a pretty bad idea. Jackson is facing one of the toughest rushing teams in the NFL in the Saints...now that could be because teams have to abandon the run to try and get back in it, or (scary part) it could be because the defense is that damn tough...either way Fred getting 30 carries is unlikely. And with the way he ate up the Patriots in the passing game you can bet money he'll be the target that is shutdown. Because other than him what do the Bills really have?

[Nainoa]

Belichick said that he is going to key on stopping Tony Gonzalez this Sunday which will probably be rolling a safety over by TG and leaving White plenty of 1v1 coverage. And Turner will probably have a decent game against the Pats this week too.

If the Pats do stick to the plan of trying to key on TG then Roddy is going to have his breakout game of the season.

Why would he roll a safety over... That's not the kind of defense they play.

Now he might assign a DB who's plays safety to cover Gonzo.

Ultimately though it's Scheme that stops a TE like Tony.

Generally a nice trick is to over load that side with LB's... Or send in a corner blitz... Or whatever personnel package that forces them to Leaving Tony in to Block instead of go out on his passing route...

Ultimately when you send a TE out onto a pass the type of DB used is a non factor to teh strengths of that TE...

TE's go over the middle of they out muscle and go up for the ball... In which case it's all about "Height" which most DB's lack... or Size... Which Most DB's lack.

So even if The pats played a type of defense that "Rolls a Safety" it would be the less effective answer, compared to blitz and forced protection schemes.

[Nainoa]

Pick 3

Slaton
Gore
Johnson

The one to waffle on is Johnson against that Rex Ryan Lead Jet's Defense...

In which case Johnson opts out for Fred Jackson who also gets points in the passing game.

[Harganoff]

Ah, Derrick Ward will be starting this week against his old team, the G Men. I have MJD and McCoy and RB and Manningham at Flex. Do I switch McCoy or Manningham out for Ward now that he has been named starter?

The problem is, Westbrook will stay listed as questionable up until gametime, all the while not practicing all week. He has done this over and over again and always gone out and played, so I'm hoping for a definitive "out" status, or something that will give it away.

[JDuB128]

What do you guys think, Todd Heap vs CLE, or Jermichael Finley vs STL?

[Nainoa]

What do you guys think, Todd Heap vs CLE, or Jermichael Finley vs STL?

I say Finley... He's getting a lot of looks and StL sucks.

Heap is playing in a Conference game where they have plenty of tape and experience with dealing with him...

Games like this can sometimes surprise you with how it can shut a guy down

[GyM_RaT]

anyone else highly regret drafting Roddy White considering that Tony G is getting more targets now?

LOL I got to pick up White on Waivers because some idiot dropped him after Week 1.

You own Westy and if you have been following the games you should know his work has been limited, I read where he is getting 16 looks a game and no more, with McCoy getting some redzone work. You know even if Westy plays they will limit him and that game should be over early. McCoy will grind for 3/4 of the game.

What do you guys think, Todd Heap vs CLE, or Jermichael Finley vs STL?

Heap has had like 1 decent game in 3 years. Finley is my guy for the second half of the year and I think he will start turning out on the increased number of looks he has been getting.


LOL I got to pick up White on Waivers because some idiot dropped him after Week 1.

Is that a money league?

[Clide Whit]

What do you guys think is a better play this week, Slaton vs Jacksonville, or Julius Jones vs Chicago? This is a PPR league btw..

[dirtdickens]

Slaton owns Jax. Look some of this stuff up- 300+ yards against them and 2 TDs. Jax defense is bad/middle of the road.

[FAH_Q]

This is what Teddy Bruschi said about stoppping Gonzalez. Your right he didn't mention rolling a safety, he said roll COVERAGE.

Tedy: At times, Rodney would be locked on the tight end, and other times Rodney would be locked on the tight end, and we'd still roll coverage over to that side. The real responsibility in those cases would come to the singled-up corner who had that receiver all by himself, away from that rotated coverage. Look for that other corner to be, in the Patriots coaches' mind, the best they have.

[dirtdickens]

Caddy owners may want to trade him while you can. His gimp knee is already blowing up-now questionable for the game Sunday.

[xzp]

I've got Westbrook and I just picked up McCoy (despite being only allowed 3 rb's, can't help it)
I think they're gonna wait till last minute and then declare him inactive.

The chiefs suck, and they got a bye week next week.

That being said, who would you guys start as a flex wr? I've got Wayne and Jennings. I had Royal, but dropped him to pick up Harvin.
Now ****ing Harvin's got the flu, and I'm considering starting Royal again.

I've got some FA options such as Hester,Mason, Sims-Walker, Royal (Obv.) and Ted ginn among others.

I'm considering Sims-Walker, as he's just about the only attractive option for this week.

Also, ppr league, with big play bonus's given.

[dirtdickens]

News breaking that Randy Moss has a bad back and is questionable. May be time to move him before news breaks. Combine a bad back with Brady playing rusty=trade for an upgrade at RB.

So this makes that rookie look even better now? (No. 11 I think, Edelman or w/e his name is)

Plus, I suppose it adds to Taylor or Maroney's value..Pats were going to run more than 2 years ago anyway. Now there's even more reason to.

[FAH_Q]

They also said that the Pats could very well have been just giving him the day off since he practiced in full on Thurs. and Fri. so i would just check back over the weekend to see.

[miscreant5]

I just proposed this trade to another team: Jerrico Cotchery and Leon Washington for Thomas Jones.

I have Pierre Thomas, Julius Jones, Jonathan Stewart, and LenDale White as my RBs right now, so I'm hoping Thomas Jones will help me out here.

I have Calvin Johnson, Roy Williams, Mario Manningham, Laurent Robinson, and Bobby Wade as my WRs. It's somewhat of a big loss giving up Jerrico Cotchery, but I think I should be able to manage.

What do you guys think?

I think you're going the wrong way...

Leon Washington is most likely going to provide the larger value in that trade.

T-Jones is on his way out of town... And while the offensive scheme might be trying to ride him out of town by beating him down... T-Jones is playing "Safe and Soft."

Leon Washington knows that he's going to find a way to stay around and tandem up with Shonn Greene, and he's the passing down outlet back for the rookie QB sanchez.

[GyM_RaT]

T-Jones is on his way out of town???

Explain this please because as a Jets fan, I find it hard to believe they would be giving Jones less carries especially after his 2 TD week 1 game. Leon Washington is a great running back but he isn't as powerful as Jones when it comes to a tanacious D line and pushing into the endzone on the goaline.

[FatWhiteKid]

What the hells going on with Randy Moss? In the 'Breaking News' thing it says hes listed as questionable for Sundays game do to back injury, yet theres no Q icon next to his name...

[dirtdickens]

Bellicheat playing games with the media again. Dont worry about it.

This is the last year of Thomas Jone's contract...

Previously in the pre-season there was some talk about him holding out. (Same with Leon.)

When they drafted Shonn Greene, and Leon Stated that he would show up for camp... Then T-Jones agent released a statement saying that T-Jones would report to camp on time.

Since then to my knowledge there have been no updated talks... And at T-Jones age, and the fact that the Jets have shown no interest in giving him big money, while drafting Greene to handle the grinding.

I have to believe that at the end of this season T-Jones will be shown the door... And team politics will play out later in the season that will most likely effect his play, as he tries to play soft to extend his career with potential future suitors.

[FatWhiteKid]

****. Randy Moss and Marion Barber are BOTH out this week, it will take a miracle to win. I picked up Buckhalter and Chanci Stuckey, hopefully they have monster games because I wouldn't mind going 3-0.

[Nainoa]

Moss isnt out. I havent seen where Barber is out either. Dont post stuff like that unless you have a link or a source.

Both have been officially listed as "Questionable" which isn't a good sign. (There tends to be a large gulf between Probable and Questionable... "Usually" players who are listed as questionable, even if they contribute that contribution in Fantasy Terms "Tends" to be fantasy irrelevant.

[FatWhiteKid]

Any chance you can get Tashard Choice?

Nah I put out claims for Choice, Sims-Walker and Buckhalter but I was 10/12 in the waiver order. I just picked up Stuckey, projected 13 points only 1 less than Moss was. My teams looking good when Moss and Barber come back in full force.

[dirtdickens]

What site has Chansi projecting 13?

The thing about the questionable thing is that teams post that and teams like the Pats play games with it. There is no guideline for what is probable or questionable.

Barber is not a good play
Moss is.

Should I drop Michael Bennett RB for Justin Forsett RB?

Bennet only had like 22 yards last week and Forsett has been seeing more and more touches. I am hurting at RB right with a couple of injuries and one of these guys will actually need to be in my line-up today. Forsett got 11 touches last week. Bennett I think had 9. Both of them are running behind another back, but I think that Chargers will give Bennett more carries this week to protect Sproles a little bit.

lmao....i know my team is in bad shape right now. I have Lynch (NA), Mike Bell (Out) and Norwood (out) this week.


Bennett is the SD Chargers back-up. Sproles will get most of the carries since LT is out, but Bennett should get a few. Problem is the Chargers rarely run even when at the goal line. He only gained 22 yards last week.


Forsett is 3rd string forthe Seahawks. He had as many touches as Julius Jones last week though with 11 and he gained 96 total yards. He is taking over the 2nd back spot from Edgerrin James I believe.

This sounds like a no brainer,but I have a feeling if I drop Bennett and pick up Forsett Bennett will have a decent game. It always happens and when I have lost the first week by .52 points this **** matters.

Also, Moreno is a game time decision so I am thinking regardless I should just sit him as Oakland has been solid against the run and Moreno would probably get limited touches anyways.

I wouldnt start anyone for the Raiders. He will have one of those games like he did against the Chiefs last year at some point, but the rest of the year he will be what he is right now. The way the scoring has been going this year-or lack of it for the entire league-I really think the steady points are even more improtant.

Moreno is a game time decision with a groin so he will get limited carries and Buckhalter has done well.

hope you went with my first advice

[miscreant5]

I think you're going the wrong way...

Leon Washington is most likely going to provide the larger value in that trade.

T-Jones is on his way out of town... And while the offensive scheme might be trying to ride him out of town by beating him down... T-Jones is playing "Safe and Soft."

Leon Washington knows that he's going to find a way to stay around and tandem up with Shonn Greene, and he's the passing down outlet back for the rookie QB sanchez.

Fuuuuu, I should have heeded this advice. Thomas Jones has been terrible so far, while both Leon Washington and Jerrico Cotchery have played pretty well.

Oh and

Celek is a beast......19 points.......outscoring all WRs to this point in my league for the season.

[miscreant5]

I was just offered a trade: Nate Burleson for Roy Williams. What do you guys think? Burleson did pretty well today. Roy Williams stunk it up last week, but I think it was more because Romo couldn't get going at all.

I'm planning on asking him for Nate Burleson and Cedric Benson for Roy Williams and Jonathan Stewart.

[dirtdickens]

Burleson and Benson are better than the other players in the deal.

[BrawnySwoleman]

Dropping Eddie Royal for Mike-Sims Walker

Also, what do you do when your defense and kicker have a bye week? I'm thinking of just dropping them for new ones (its the Panthers D and kicker so no big loss.) Will probably take Rian Lindell. Broncos D is available, but seems like a mirage, so which of the following should i take?

Seahawks
Raiders
49ers (They're playing the rams next week so I'm leaning this way.)

Cards and Falcons are on bye weeks also.

[awahl63]

Pick up the 49ers

[BrawnySwoleman]

Celek is a beast......19 points.......outscoring all WRs to this point in my league for the season.
Lol and to think I was thinking of starting Zach Miller over him, forgetting who his QB was.

If I had started Celek and Schaub (I started Garrard, don't ask) last week, I'd be 3-0 (I'm way ahead right now).


Pick up the 49ers

Thanks for the input. I'll go with the Hawks D/ST and Jay Feeley if the the 49ers and lindell are taken.

[dirtdickens]

The great thing about Celek is that he had two QBs make him the go to guy in that offense which really speaks for his value. He is a must start every week.

Glad this thread could help.

Last year by the time the dust settled, we had to have had something around 70% of the thread-Regulars who made it to their final four... And in my mind's eye better than half of those were in their championship game.

high scorer and I have two RBs to go Monday night.

Finally have a RB to pair with the rest of my team, thank you PT!

Gore going out and now I have Coffee filling in, Barber is banged up and I have both of Dallas' RBs.

When healthy I think my team will be dominating.


QB-Rivers
RB-Turner
RB-Slaton
WR-Driver
WR-Breaston
WR-Welker

K-Folk
W/T-Cribbs


Bench:
TE-Celek (may put him in the starting role)
RB-McCoy
RB-Fred Jackson
WR- (can't remember, but I have a spare)


Breaston showed up nicely last night an Cribbs is great for me as long as he's the KR. I get 1 pt per 30 return yards and bonuses for 100/150/200 yard games.

Speaking of Breaston, someone just dropped him in my league. Worth pursuing in my case? Sproles is also available.

Hey everyone, I've always been a big NFL fan, but this is my first year ever doing FF so I just wanted to check how my team looks/how I'm doing. Please be critical, I want to win this league bad (it's with all my close friends at college, so the **** talking is plentiful).

Btw, it's on ESPN and was a draft at the beginning of the season.

QB - Matt Ryan
RB - Steve Slaton
RB - Ray Rice
WR - Brandon Marshall
WR - DeSean Jackson
WR - Kevin Walter
TE - Dallas Clark
D/ST - Jets
K - Neil Rackers

Bench - LT, Josh Morgan, Julian Edelman (since Welker has been out), Mark Clayton, John Carlson, and David Garrard

Right now, I'm 1-1 (lost by 3 points) and I'm up this week by 46 points with my opponent only having Tony Romo left, so I'm basically 2-1.

Any thoughts? I've been having issues with the RB position since LT has either sucked or been out, and until this week, my WRs sucked as well.

My suggestion to you right now and not knowing much about your league (how many teams, PPR, and what the Waiver Wire looks like) is to get rid of Garrard and try picking up a RB or WR.

Yes I'd grab Breaston if I was you. I'd probably drop McFadden. You can only start 2 RBs and you have some studs and some depth.


Sproles may be a good trade up value over Julius Jones...now that we are seeing the Seahawks slipping a bit.

[Nainoa]

My suggestion to you right now and not knowing much about your league (how many teams, PPR, and what the Waiver Wire looks like) is to get rid of Garrard and try picking up a RB or WR.

Or see if you can trade Garrard... He's got a padded stat line at the moment which might make a nice sell high value for getting a sleeper bench reciever for someone who is desperate about a floundering QB?

[Hishiad]

My suggestion to you right now and not knowing much about your league (how many teams, PPR, and what the Waiver Wire looks like) is to get rid of Garrard and try picking up a RB or WR.

Same...I'd move some folks and see if you can land one of these "up and comers" at RB that may be on the WW.


Moreno, McCoy, Donald Brown, Ricky Williams (not really up and comer, but getting the rock and producing week in and week out), Glen Coffee (Gore is banged up and this kid has talent if he gets carries he'll produce)...may be some sleepers on the WW. What are the top 5 at WR/RB on your WW?

[BrawnySwoleman]

What do you think of Ahman Bradshaw? I've had him on my team and have yet to start him, but this sunday he produced slighty more points than AP and Fred Jackson (both of which I started). Is it worth dropping him to pick up Ricky Williams?

Note: I also have Pierre Thomas, Brian Westbrook, and Marshawn lynch.

You have AD, Fred Jackson, Pierre Thomas, Brian Westbrook and Marshawn Lynch and you're worried about dropping Bradshaw for Williams? :P


Honestly Williams is getting nice stats now, but this is his peak imo. I don't think he'll ever run for 150+ or 2+ TDs in one game...so he may not be worth the investment in such a deep RB group. Bradshaw is the no. 2 behind an injury prone back on a team that likes to run. Jacobs will (I have zero doubt) miss at least 1-2 games before season ends. You'll end up hating lynch/jackson as they will split carries probably. PT/AD will be the starters for you most weeks when healthy. Westbrook is always nursing an injury (he produces, but McCoy may be edging into the no. 1 spot)

Take week one out of the equation for both those D's, as Chicago basically "Beat Themselves with bad play calling and mistakes."

How do they stack up from there?

But if you're feeling the packers... Breaston is probably tied for best on that list with Garcon.

ahh ok i see you on the Defense,... so deff breaston or garcon, who should i drop?...

[Hishiad]

Breaston is probably tied for best on that list with Garcon.

He got the edge for me because of the volume of targets, the fact he had 1k yards last season, and he's a return guy (in my league returns yards = points)


Garcon has big play speed/potential though and the guy plays hard. He's likely to edge himself out as the no. 2 ahead of collie with Anthony still hurt...when Anthony is back though not sure how things will be.

Drop Campbell or Miller there is zero reason to hold backups at TE/QB just for bye week subs. You can just grab the hot hand off the WW when your bye week hits.

I have a list of WR that I favor and are going to try and pick up on FA next week in this order:

1. Nate Burleson vs Indianapolis
2. Kevin Walter vs Oakland
3. Pierre Garcon vs Seattle
4. Earl Bennett vs Detroit
5. Domenik Hixon vs Kansas City
-----------------------------------------
My WR's are:

Boldin Bye Week 4
White Bye Week 4
Bowe vs NY Giants
Knox vs Detroit
Edwards vs Cincinnati
-----------------------------------------
I'm going with Knox for sure and Bowe if he is able to have a good practice week. I am going to drop Zach Miller on my bench to bring in another receiver looking at matchups and future schedule. This is a tough decision because I already have Knox and don't want to play to WR from the same team, and I have Peyton Manning at QB with Clark as my TE; don't want to put all my eggs in one basket playing Garcon.

I'm thinking Garcon and Burleson might be gone because I play in a league that just looks at fan points and chooses players based on just that and i'm 9th on Waivers :( If Hixon is able to return against the Chiefs this could be a good pickup but I doubt i'll pull the trigger on that one. Braylon Edwards just might get dropped from my lineup (serious), the Browns are a joke on offense and defense and even with Anderson

I hope to have a Week 4 lineup of:

Johnny Knox
Nate Burleson
Kevin Walter

What do you guys think of picking up Burleson and Walter??? or should I try to pick up one FA and take my chances with Edwards again???

[Hishiad]

removed to keep post shorter


I think if you don't pickup Walter you're going to regret it. The fact he's on the WW is amazing to me. Also you're putting Nate vs the Colts waaaaaay too high. Did you see how well they shutdown/out the Arizona passing attack? The Seahawks will be in a world of trouble trying to pass on that defense. Walter has the dream matchup though.


Boldin/White/Walter come playoff time will be an EPIC lineup.

Ouch...I don't like Thomas vs the Jets...Rough matchup. I would start Ocho > VJ though. Julius could have a good game vs the Colts as they do have a weak running defense, but if they get a lead he's a wash in the passing game.


What kind of RBs are there out on the WW?


Cause based on the matchups it'd be hard for me to bench Portis facing the Bucs.

[GyM_RaT]

Your right Walters would be the better pick and its funny I actually picked him up a week ago but dropped him for Johnny Knox. My reason being I knew Knox would be picked off FA and that I could probably get Walters again if I so choose.

Also I have MJD and Portis going. MJD vs the Titans #2 Rush Defense OUCH!!! and how can I not have Portis going against the Bucs, but then again how can I start him after 3 weeks of a whopping 19 points.

I only have Thomas vs the Jets and Jones vs the Saints. I will probably just try my luck with MJD and Portis.

If MJD/PT both are fully healthy then they are in the "stud" category of don't bench unless bye week/injuried.

So that's a way of looking at it. I don't know how great the Jets rush defense really is to be honest. Chris Johnson had a solid game against them. They also beat the Patriots (who weren't running much) and the Texans who've not really gotten their running attack in gear yet.


I'd probably start Thomas and Portis if it was me. MJD vs the Titans is indeed scary when you look at the RBs they've shutdown thus far this season.

Thomas Jones/Leon Washington both combined < 100 yds
Steve Slaton < 50 yds
Willie Parker < 25 yds

I agree with everything you said Ill probably end up starting Portis again with the Buc matchup and cross my fingers.... Not much on waiver wire maybe get Celek in place of Cooley, Coffee is available but not much to take imo. Repped Thanks for help

[dirtdickens]

How in the hell is Celek still on the wire? He has outscored almost every WR so far. Coffee is playing in a system that even when he avgs 2 ypc he is still going to get it and they play the Rams next week. Gore may be out two week- F Portis and Cooley, pick those two up now if you want money.

I hate to say that you should drop him... Especially because it sounds like DA might get the job back and that might change things...

But I officially stayed away from all things cleeveland just because you could smell stuff like this coming.

Any trade possibilities for him...

Or hot WW pick ups?

[DL Addict]

Does Braylon Edwards have any value right now or in the future??? I'm really considering just dropping him off my roster.

If Anderson remains the QB, his value will go up, IMO. He needs the deep ball to be good, and Anderson gives him that. (no homo)

It may take a week or two, but he should get it going. He had a good off season, from what I saw, going back to his college training, showing up for OTA's, etc. I definitely wouldn't drop him, but if you trade him for someone you're high on after he has a big game, I wouldn't blame you.

Celek is still Available in my Veteran staffed keeper league.

One of the things you have to keep in mind is that not a lot of people carry 2 TE's and the TE pool is a deep position these days.

Not like back in the day, where if you didn't have Shannon Sharpe, Tony Gonzales, or Brent Jones, your TE basically got you between 0 and 2 points per game.

[GyM_RaT]

There's Garcon, Burleson, Bennett, and Walters left on the WW

Don't think anyone in my league is dumb enough to work a trade for Edwards. Knowing my luck Anderson will start against Cincy and throw 2 TD's to Edwards at home.

[Vigilante_Inc]

I need S. Smith to score less than 17 points tonight to remain undefeated this week. (I should be running away with this week but Drew Brees decided to pretty much take the day off haha 7 points) p.s. I picked up Celek in the 2nd to last round of my draft knowing he was going to be a stud... I have dallas clark so technically celek's my backup but i think i can get a value for him. celek seems to be much more consistent this year but clark has more of a big week potential. so if im going up against a tough oppenent who's scored about the same i'll start celek. if i go against a team who could blow up i'll start clark (he won my game 2 last week :)

* Tashard Choice is still the man in Dallas, the injury to MB3 is worse than they were letting on.

[Nainoa]

Its not like it used to be for sure. But I dont understand how no one has picked him up in redrafts. More points than Randy Moss, Fitz and AJ. Filthy stats for a TE.

Yeah my buddy who had Gore, but Lost Coffee in the Auction and has Ward as his #2 RB, picked up Choice on my Advice late last night.

Funny thing is that he already owns Romo, Roy Williams, Patrick Crayton, and Nick Folk.

[Hishiad]

Damnit! Laurent Robinson broke his leg...


But I landed Earl Bennett on the WW so hopefully he'll blow up vs the Lions.


I also grabbed Glen Coffee he's gonna be a nice sub in for Turner who's on bye.

[GyM_RaT]

Anyone doing Yahoo Fantasy??? When does the WW period end??? Is it on Wed and if so what time can you start picking up FA's?

Edit: Just read WW period is Sun-Tues so Wed at midnight is when FA begins?

[Nainoa]

Picked up Vernon Davis on a Lark... I don't know that I like what's shaking out of Washington, and what that means for Cooley. And I'll need a bye week guy/potential keeper at TE anyway.

[TopsecretWaffle]

i also picked up vernon davis cause celek is on a by week. davis has been putting up good numbers too. i alos dropped the ****ty titans D(ranked 20 in points) for saints D(ranked 4th)

[jonnyshap]

I have 4 RB"s I can start 3 (one in a flex spot)... Steve Slaton, Willie Parker, Sproles(getting the start), and Tashard Choice... you think he will get the start next or wat?

thanks man... wat about farve or brady this week?

[peteypistol]

thanks man... wat about farve or brady this week?

brady is a must start everyweek... except that hes playing baltimore and brett favre is playing the PACKERS. You know hell be shooting for a giant game to get back at them. thats a tough call, I actually needed a QB to pick up for my QBs that are bye this week and favre was taken just for this week already.

yea NE Def isnt that good, if flacco throwing and getting points they are going to have to pass a lot to stay in the game. I don't think the NE will run a lot. I have welker too, If he is in the game Brady will throw to him and moss will be open more. With Farve, which one will show up, even if he throw pics thats only -1 point, as he will have 300 yards and atleast 1 TD.. tuff call, if welker doesnt play I am def going to go with Farve.

[peteypistol]

heres a lil cheatsheet I use everyweek to help deciede who to start... Shows how many fantasy point each team gives up to each position in a standard scoring league.... Do take into account the team that each team has played before though. Some stats might be padded by playing soft teams

Who should I drop for Fred Taylor. I drafted Taylor as a Reserve and told everyone he will be a monster this year. I want to pick him back up since I dropped him to get McCoy.

Here are my Running Backs:

LeSean McCoy
Ahmad Bradshaw
Marion Barber
Tashard Choice
Knowshon Moreno

I **** talked for Moreno and Taylor to be the sleepers this year. (pride keeps them on my team)

Wow, that's a very 'lean' RB stable you have there. What's available on the WW?

Personally I don't like NE RB's, never have. It's hard to tell which one will get the points week in and week out. I am a big Fred Taylor fan (mainly because I am a Gator) but I wouldn't count on him bringing home the points every week especially at this stage of his career.

[jason_bh]

This is a bad upcoming week for me. I have my K, DEF, and TE, plus 2 WR's on a bye this week. I only carry 1 K, DEF and TE, so need to make some adjustments via the WW. Sucks.

It is lean, that is why I have so many. From what I have read and looked at the points each week. Fred Taylor has the starting job in NE. Plus, like everyone says, Belick(sp) loves his veteran RB. He has consistently put up more numbers than Bradshaw. and I can see him doing good.

It seems like they are lean but at least 2 of my RB put up 15 points a week. I just have to figure out which one. I like Moreno (loved him in Georgia), Choice I will probably drop once barber is back.

[GyM_RaT]

This was a great week for WW/FA Pickups indeed. Check out my pickups...

Waivers: Glen Coffee (I was 9/10 in waivers mind you)

Free Agency: Garcon and Choice

Wow my league is dumb

Also the same person who dropped Pierre Thomas, who I picked up btw, just dropped Kevin Smith. The funny thing is this chick traded Steve Smith(Giants) for him and I guess found out about a possible injury and decided to drop him for Reggie Bush LOL!!!!!

My RB's are:

MJD
Portis

Coffee
Choice

Thats the thing I probably wont drop anyone because I am going to be forced to make a trade. My bench is full because I have Boldin and White on a bye week and Bowe probably wont play. I don't even have a Kicker spot right now LOL!!!! Plan on getting Lindell when I make the room.


I am talking to an interested party about acquiring Frank Gore for Portis and possibly someone else. I'm trying to go with Portis and Choice right now but I might have to eventually give up Portis Coffee. I am carrying 6 WR's on my bench...Bowe's injury definitely screwed me. I have to start Edwards, Garcon, and Knox.

I agree with you. I am willing to bet that Faulk is the NE RB that gets the work this week against the Ravens. Close game and the 3rd down back will be in a lot for the extra rec. Except for when they had Dillon no NE back has ever been worth much because so many of them were randomly played. When does Sammy Morris play? Because you know he will at some point.

[Mark004]

start em

I assume you guys feel Kevin Walter will have a good game based on the fact that A-Johnson should be shut down by Asumogha? I tend to agree with you. I do like Manningham, and I think Braylon can get back on track now that Derek "I can only throw the long ball" Anderson is playing, but Walter looked really good last week. I still dont have enough faith in Edwards and Eli still prefers Steve Smith over Manningham. So I'll wait one more week with him to see if the first 2 games were flukes.

Btw, does anything think Edwards will bounce back now that anderson is around? I need this guy to be good, I'm 1-2 thanks to Frank Gore and Romo last week. This week I have to play
Brady, Colston, Welker, Moss, Kevin Smith, and Shockey.

I think Braylon has a better chance to stat under DA than Quinn...

Basically the window for Quinn's development was missed.

There's kind of a butter zone for a Talented QB coming out of college...

Some you can't throw into the fire too seen (David Carr) Some you can't just wait on their development, as they don't have enough experience to shake off the playing rust.

Quinn is this case.

But DA, has a history and chemistry with Braylon, that will get Braylon more targets, and it might mean enough targets to turn him back into being "Fantasy Relevant."

But by the nature of that whole team... Braylon won't be a #1 WR for sure this year... And Maybe for the rest of his career.

Last year AJ was trucking everyone for 25 points a game and then in the playoffs when I needed him most he ran into Oakland and posted a 3. Walter should have a nice game.

Derek "I can only throw the long ball AND interceptions" Anderson should get Braylon more looks but Braylon has to catch them. Count on DA throwing 3-4 INTs a game like always.

Manningham is too streaky. I thought the passing game would be like the Seahawks of past and it is. Different guy every week.

[GyM_RaT]

What do you think guys...

I give Garcon, Portis, and Coffe for Gore. When he comes back i'll have MJD, Gore, PT, and Choice.

[Nainoa]

What do you think guys...

Anyway you can not have Coffee in that mix...

Gore is always an injury risk, PT might get muddled in that backfield later in the season when Bell comes back, MJD has "Late Season Break Down" written all over him, and Choice might get stuck in his own muddle when Felix and MB3 return.

Now are all of those things going to happen to you?

Chances are slim...

Is one or two of those things going to happen to you?

Chances are strong... And it would be very strong in your favor, should Gore hit the pine again, to have at least one handcuff.

I need some help this week my people, here's the squad.

http://i38.tinypic.com/2hduu06.jpg

I don't like Big Ben's matchup against SD, and Jason Cambell is on waivers facing a poor TB pass defense this week. Barber is a toss up to play it seems, and now even Bradshaw is questionable, great. Tashard Choice and Buckhalter are the 2 best RBs available on the WW.
What moves would you make to get the strongest possible lineup out of what I'm working with?

I would drop Knox and pick up Choice... Then for this week... Start Choice.

Nothing wrong with Ben Facing SD... SD while they have ball hawking DB's... They are by no means a Shut Down D.

I'd beware all things Washington... The culture of that team is going down the Crapper.

If Westbrook doesn't play start McCoy. Try and grad Coffee off the WW and either flex or start him.

[Harganoff]

McCoy has a bye, and Coffee is long gone. I'll probably try and grab Choice for this week so Im assured to have the starting Dallas RB

Neither are playing. The Eagles have a bye week.

Yeah but you still have a higher point potential out of McCoy working in the weight room than you do out of Westbrook breaking his Ankle while watching TV.

Nah... Romo isn't doing as bad as the media is hyping him out to be... He'll get it turned Up... They've just got some team chemistry issues.

[Mark004]

Nah... Romo isn't doing as bad as the media is hyping him out to be... He'll get it turned Up... They've just got some team chemistry issues.

I agree, but Cutler isnt doing bad either. They are only separated by about 2 fantasy points, and Cutlers team seems to be leaning more and more towards the pass. Dallas is going more towards the run. Either way, I think I'll be startng Mcnabb when he comes back. But I'm conflicted on this one. Really it comes down to potential, and I dont know who I like more there

Romo has the higher potential...

Also worth noting... Your #2 QB is insurance for your #1 QB getting injured... Most important time of need (Other than Bye weeks) is during the Fantasy Playoffs.

So if McNabb has another Rib turn into his Sports Hernia, where he tries to play hurt until late in the season when the FA talent pool is picked over and trade talks are desert dry... You'll want the Best #2 QB possible.

Looking at the Matchups for the Fantasy Playoffs
Dallas
SD: Ball Hawking D... but no Shut down capability.
NO: Siv like Defense that looks good on paper right now from playing weak opponents.
Was: Falling apart


Chicago
GB: Has the Bears Number, and is a solid D
Bal: Nuff said
Minn: Top 10 D.


^^^^^^Pour all of this info into the Nainoa-Compulator-2K9... And I say "Stick with Romo."

Alright, you have convinced me haha. I actually drafted Mcnabb as my backup, but seeing how explosive that offense is under Kevin Kolb, I think i have to reconsider who is backing up who. I guess I'm used to Romo from 2 years ago, who put up Mvp type numbers if it wasn't the year of the Patriots winning all the awards. I won my championship that year riding Romo, T.O, and Witten to the finals.

Yeah realistically Romo can't handle the leadership strain...

But you have to also keep in mind that they're still finding their chemistry and waiting for someone to step up and change the dynamic of that passing game.

Romo hasn't been THAT bad... (Currently ranked 8th in my league) with only a 10 point difference between him and Rivers #3...


I mean ultimately Romo is never going to rank in the "Elite Category"

But few do... Sometimes we just have to settle for a "Top 10 QB."

*****

But yeah I do agree with you when/if McNabb comes back to full health, he should be your starter.

[Nidreu]

Hey Nainoa would appreciate some of your feedback on my team.

No PPR, start 1QB 2 RB 3 WR 1 TE 12 team league


Brees

Forte (just trade Grant for him)
PT
Coffee
Ward
J. Stewart
D. Brown

A Johnson
D Bowe
Berrian
Edwards (just traded Royal for him)
Gage

Shiancoe

Bengals D (picked up for the browns matchup)
Packers D
Longwell



The WW is pretty slim since its a 12 man league. J. Campbell is still out there, I'm thinking about getting him in a couple weeks for the Saints bye.

Shiancoe has just been killing me, is it time to lose hope and move on? What pieces do you suggest I move?

Thanks for any input man.

[DrunkNinjaMastr]

Who should I put in if Welker doesn't play?

My backups are now Pierre Garcon and Nate Burleson. After Garcons' success last week, I think Peyton will start to look his way more often. The only problem is I have Reggie Wayne as my #1 and I am a little reluctant to start 2 WR's from the same team. I may go the Burleson route since he has been playing pretty well and is basically the Seahawk #1 WR at this point.

Johnny Knox is also available and I thought about possibly picking him up for one week since the Bears play the Lions. I don't know if he would be a better option than Garcon or Burleson though.

I actually like Knox over those two. Just for the fact you already have Wayne in the Indy offense. I hate starting 2 WR from the same offense.

Hey guys, I have two tough decisions I need help with this week:

Should I start Lee Evans against Miami over Colston against the Jets? I know it sounds crazy, but Revis is sure to cover Colston and he has shut down everyone this year. Evans faces a horrible Miami pass D.

Also, which is the better start? Portis against TB or Rice against NE? TB is horrible, but Portis has not done anything this year and has a calf injury. Rice is solid, but faces a tough NE run D.

Lee Evans hasn't done **** this year. Even though Revis is one of the best QB's in the league you still have to go with Colston. While he won't put up huge stats I see him getting a TD. Which will be more then Evans.

You have to start Rice. Portis is banged up and hasn't done **** this year. The NE has been picked apart by RB's catching passes out of the back field. If the Ravens can't get their running game together expect Ray Rice to come out of the backfield and catch passes like Jackson did.

I would still start Colston...

Yes the Jets are scary... But Colston is working on proving that he's a stud... And a Stud gets you points even in tough match ups.

Not to mention Colston did fine against Philly D, which isn't that far behind the Jets D.

*******

As a guy who other than this year has in one league or another owned Portis for most of his career...

I would go Ray Rice...

When Portis is this level of Dinged, he plays guarded.

And Zorn knows that Portis is the only reliable talent he's got...

So once Washington gets up enough, he'll yank Portis to preserve him, and you'll see Betts the rest of the day.

Where as NE's D is hurting and finding itself... And Rice is always a candidate to simply break one.

But the Redskins couldn't even beat Detroit so there is no guarantee that TB will be a cakewalk.

That's always a possibility.

But I think the reality is that Detroit isn't actually as bad as they appear, nor were they last year... Team Culture/chemistry/bad coaching cost them like 4 wins last year, add that improvement, and a half roster turnover... And I think Washington underestimated them.

I don't suspect Zorn will make the same mistake twice when facing a cellar dwellar.

If he does...

Yank all Redskins from your team.

Because Tampa Bay Truly sucks.

I forsee a Shootdown competition between Cleeveland, TB, and St. Louis for "Worst Team in the League."

They're already competing for the #1 pick in next years draft, they just don't know it yet.

[GyM_RaT]

lee evans sucks.

x2 lol

[Hishiad]

Hey guys, I have two tough decisions I need help with this week:

Should I start Lee Evans against Miami over Colston against the Jets? I know it sounds crazy, but Revis is sure to cover Colston and he has shut down everyone this year. Evans faces a horrible Miami pass D.

Also, which is the better start? Portis against TB or Rice against NE? TB is horrible, but Portis has not done anything this year and has a calf injury. Rice is solid, but faces a tough NE run D.

Miami has a horrible pass D because of who they've faced.

I mean this is what I'd call a "misleading" stat line. The Dolphins have faced Matt Ryan, Peyton Manning, and Phillip Rivers...all 3 are top 15 QBs in every fantasy format I can think of.


The Jets (although a solid Defense) have faced the likes of Texans, NE (shaky still) and the Titans...

The Texans are -now- in gear, but the Patriots still haven't found their passing game. I wouldn't start Evans if it was me.

[GyM_RaT]

Need 1 WR too pick up on FA

L. Coles - Browns
Burleson - Indy but is Seahawks #1 and Wallace still gets him the ball
Laurent Robinson - Just Kidding

While I 110% concur with you on your Defensive analysis of Miami...

My concern with Evans (Who I own and Start in my "Other" league) isn't the Defense he's facing... It's the fact that the Buffalo Offense can't find an identity... And in that NE game... NE made them look like Contenders... Now they are playing like Pretenders.

Until they find themselves, any buffalo player right now is a gamble... Making Colston a Safer Bet.

[GyM_RaT]

I think so too, glad he was dropped by someone else in my league. Gotta go with the matchup and Palmer and him have already had 3 weeks to work on chemistry, week 4 will pay dividends.

Yeah I agree for sure. Now that Lynch and Jackson are supposedly going to 50/50 the carries the one viable position (RB) is also fairly unsafe.

Despite what many "experts" may say Coles has produced in each and every offense he's been a part of. Aside from his rookie year his worst season was in 07 with the Jets and he missed 4 games that year and only had 55 receptions.


I mean over 3 games he's not "blown" up as of yet, but he's at least scored a TD and is getting some catches. Around 3 a game...once Palmer realizes that Chris Henry will never really be a true no. 2 WR because of his poor hands Coles/Ocho will both take off.

I actually just dumped Burleson for Coles. I took SaaltyDogs advice and picked up Knox and will start him if Welker is out. I like the matchup for Coles has but my gut says to stick with Knox going against Detroit. My Qb this week is Palmer, with Warner being out for the bye week. Couldn't have had a better matchup for my bye week quarterback. Palmer was my sleeper quarterback going into the draft.

I have been high on Coles all year. He is the exact same type of receiver as TJ. He fits right into that offense. They paid him what TJ made the season before he left. He has consistently put up around 80 catches with 6 -7 TD's and 1,000 yards.

With Palmer getting back into the swing of things and getting on the same page as Coles he will become a bigger and bigger part of that offense.

[Hishiad]

Coles is the 3rd leading receiver behind Ocho/Andre...Caldwell's a gimic WR and won't continue to outpace Coles. Once everything settles Carson will start seeing Coles more down the field and he should increase his yardage production.


No bengal WR is really blowing it up at this point. But they've spent the first 3 weeks smash mouthing teams. Which will open up the pass for them as the season progresses.

Commish just sent this email:

"I have a question for everyone. I have the ability to change personnel from waiver to free agents and this is what I propose. Every week there's a priority for picking up players. I think it's a good thing but what I propose is that after thursday of every week (once the waiver pick ups have been posted) I can change anyone else out there to become a free aagent immediately.

This will give 2 days for anyone to pick up a player immediately and add him to his roster instead of having to wait until the 2 day waiver period all over again. This allows the first priority teams to get their players and allows anyone else to pick up someone who is left and add them to their roster immediately."


Essentially any player who is dropped form someones is not put on Waivers and is made a free agent. Do you guys like this idea? My league has already had people drop White, PT, Kevin Smith, and others. I thin the commisioner wants a chance to not have to waste his waiver claim to pickup a dropped player. Isn't that part of the strategy though. Having to decide whether or you want to waste your waiver claim during the normal sun-wed period as well as the 2 day period after somone drops a player from their roster.

I'm not sure if I like this proposal.

Not 110% sure I understand this correctly (We don't use waivers in either of my leagues.)

Double check me...

Current system.

Standard Waivers from Monday to Sunday, and you have to clear a guy through waivers all the way up to Game Day.


Commish is proposing...

Option A
After Thursday (1 or 2 waiver cycles) that all FA's are on a first come first serve Basis.


Option B
At any point in the waiver process if you Drop a Player then that player automatically becomes available on a First Come First Serve basis and is exempt from the Waiver system for that week.


********

If Option A: My oppinion is... "This is all Fine and Good."

If Option B: Your commish is either crooked or dumb, or a mix of the two.


Option B would be incredibly abused, in multiple angles... And definitely puts a strong advantage to guys in office jobs where they can be on the Computer all day long watching WW Drops... Versus a guy who's working as a logger/laborer/whatever.... Which the whole Damn point of the Waiver system is to balance out things for these guys who can't live on the computer...

So in that case... Option B... Might as well get rid of the whole waiver system and anyone who doesn't live/work on a computer can just drop out of the league next year.

They do know it. Why else do you think Derek Anderson has just been named starting QB for the Browns? To lock up that #1 pick! :D

[BigAl33]

Ahhhhh should I start Pierre Thomas against the Jets D or go with Portis who has screwed me these past few weeks. I have 2 rb spots and 2 wr spots with a wr/rb spot. Ill definently have AP and Moss..... but who should fill the rest of the 3? I have Calvin Johnson(Chi), Portis(TB), Pierre Thomas(NYJ), Chad Ochocinco(Cle), Vincent Jackson(Pit) and Kevin Walter(Oak)? Any suggestions would be nice!

What kind of **** league are you in that you landed Vincent Jackson, Adrian Peterson, Randy Moss, and Calvin Johnson???



I'd start Calvin/Moss every week. They are too big of stars to bench cause of matchups.

AD

And watch the game time updates on the status of Portis... Or go Ocho for flex.

My guess is that it's a keeper league.

Look at my Standard Starting Line up in my Dynasty Builder

Rivers

Turner
D-will

Andre Johnson
Megatron

Cooley

Bironas

49er's

And then I still have Matt Ryan, Slaton, J-Stew and Larry Johnson riding the pine.

Couldn't get that kind of talent depth in a standard.

So any time I see a whack like line up like my own, I assume Keeper league in some format.

;)

This is my lineup for Week 4:

QB: Brees
RB: Pierre Thomas
RB: Julius Jones
RB/WR: ?
WR: Calvin Johnson
WR: Mario Manningham
TE: Greg Olsen

I don't know who to play in that RB/WR spot. I have Thomas Jones (at NO), Roy Williams (at Denver), Tashard Choice (at Denver), and Kevin Walter (at Oakland).

Agreed, also I'd start Walter > Mario


Walter will be facing the Raiders for goodness sake!

[dirtdickens]

Choice dominated last year when he got into games on his own. Play Choice, not even close on this one.

[FAH_Q]

Need 1 WR too pick up on FA

L. Coles - Browns
Burleson - Indy but is Seahawks #1 and Wallace still gets him the ball

Burleson.

Coles has been severly outplayed by Andre Caldwell.

Walter. Jerry Jones came out today and said that he thinks Barber will play this week. So that will be a 50:50 split.
Walter will probably be targeted a good bith with Asomugha on Andre all game.

[Nainoa]

Agreed, also I'd start Walter > Mario


Walter will be facing the Raiders for goodness sake!

Yeah Walter could be a solid pick for a score this week... I just have a hard time getting behind a #2 WR in that offense, simply because A-John, Daniels and Slaton are higher scoring targets.

But there's nothing saying Walter won't get one due to A-John being blanketed.

I usually have a hard tim with #2 WRs unless its Boldin, but Walter is an exception. He had like 9 td's last year and with all the attention that Andre gets he should get his.

[Harganoff]

I have Choice and Barber on my team now. Apparantly Barber is going to play this week, so that could mean 50/50 carries with Choice. Who should I go with assuming that they will share carries? Barber is the TD vulture, but Choice could see more touches.

Choice will be the work horse I'm sure...

Barber will probably only get spot and some goal line duty... Might even get yanked if Dallas gets up big on Denver. (Which I think they will.)

They're not going to risk reinjuring him... MB3 means too much to the late season aspirations of the Cowboys.

[Hishiad]

Yeah waiver is there for a reason. To keep buddies from IMin' each other and going.


"Dude I'll drop Brees and if you drop AD so we can switch"


"dude great idea it's 3 AM no one is gonna see this!"


Then it's basically a free trade without requiring league approval.

[The_Albatross]

Pick 3 of these 4 to start, scoring is pretty standard, its a PPR league with half a point for each reception...

Devin Hester against Detroit
Santonio Holmes against San Diego
Roy Williams at Denver
