Fact: Evans will score 3 points every time you play him and 15+ everytime you don't

9/9/2010 4:42:07 PM

Guru & Co.: advice needed. I think I did okay in the draft at every position except QB, where I made some dumbfuck choices and ended up with 2 poor selections (Vince Young, Matt Stafford).

There is another guy in our league who had jury duty during the draft and had his whole team selected by autopicker, resulting in him not even having a full lineup (we run 2 WR, 1 TE, and 1 WR/TE flex--he's one player short of the 4 slots) but having way too many QB/RB. Should I propose a trade with him to upgrade my QB and give him more WR options? League is PPR *only* for TE's. My current team:

STARTERS
QB - Matthew Stafford
RB - Ray Rice
RB - Pierre Thomas
WR - Larry Fitzgerald
WR - Anquan Boldin
WR - Percy Harvin
TE - Jason Witten
K - Garrett Hartley
D/ST - Minnesota Vikings

BENCH - Vince Young, Malcom Floyd, Jerricho Cotchery, Pierre Garcon, Ben Watson, Darren Sproles, Willis McGahee

Other player has available: Brett Favre QB, Eli Manning QB, Alex Smith QB, Matt Ryan QB, Chad Henne QB, Jerome Harrison RB, Rashard Mendenhall RB, Jamaal Charles RB, LeSean McCoy RB, Shonn Greene RB, Santonio Holmes WR, Kenny Britt WR, John Carlson TE, David Akers K, Dallas Cowboys D/ST

9/9/2010 5:31:55 PM

If you can pick up Orton he'd be a good fit for this week at least

9/9/2010 5:50:56 PM

My 2 QBs are Flacco and Orton. I was planning on playing Flacco all along, but just now I was looking at my league and what ESPN's projections are. The project Orton to get me 18 points vs Flacco getting 11. While I normally don't put too much stock into these projections, but I know the Ravens are playing the Jets (away game for BAL)...and that probably won't bode well for Flacco's numbers. Denver is playing Jacksonville (away game for DEN). While I do think that Orton has a favorable matchup with the Jags, do you guys think that's enough for him to get the nod over Flacco?

Thanks.

9/9/2010 6:47:54 PM

^seems kinda like a tossup to me in week 1...i'd probably run flacco myself

non-PPR question

pick 2 RBs and a RB/WR flex...current starters are asterisked...wondering if I should plug in Bush at the flex? so i need to know before tonight's game

*Adrian Peterson @ NO
*Matt Forte vs. DET
*Malcom Floyd @ KC
Justin Forsett vs. SF
Reggie Bush vs. MIN
Ahmad Bradshaw vs. CAR
Derrick Mason @ NYJ
Dexter McCluster vs. SDG

9/9/2010 7:09:40 PM

^I was thinking along the same lines. I know matchups are important, but Flacco is the better QB and has better options at WR.

I think I'd stick with Floyd. That's just me though. Especially since Vincent Jackson won't be playing.

Hoping I don't regret starting Harvin over Floyd--done now, at any rate!

9/9/2010 8:36:23 PM

I have AP and a pretty decent team. He needs to explode somehow, cause my opponent has CJ and also a pretty decent team. CJ will almost definitely explode vs. Oak this week

Missing Person: Pierre Thomas

If seen, please contact Fantasy Owners everywhere immediately.


Glad I sat him in my $$$ league. I figured he wouldn't be a huge part of the game plan, but one touch for -2 yards is absurd.

was hoping for some more production from Harvin but got a touchdown from Shiancoe and Henderson and solid yardage so far from Colston

9/9/2010 10:26:43 PM

Found: Pierre Thomas. About time!

9/9/2010 10:27:36 PM

shit throw the ball downfield quit it with all the check downs

9/9/2010 10:38:00 PM

Harvin is sucking it up for me, and the kicker got a PAT blocked , Drew Brees is doing ok but he needs some points in the 4th quarter .

9/9/2010 10:54:51 PM

PAT block was good for me

9/9/2010 10:56:23 PM

yay for shitty kickers

other guy has Garrett Hartley

9/9/2010 11:04:27 PM

way to completely shit the bed Percy.

Well, good start to the season. Went up against Percy and AP and came out unscathed.

Jonathan Stewart will probably score 20 since I sat him.

9/9/2010 11:29:33 PM

Also won a sidebet with the roommate that Bernard Berrian wouldn't do jack shit this game. He'll have to finish off the blueberry raz four lokos that have been sitting in the fridge for two months.

9/9/2010 11:32:33 PM

I drafted Pierre Thomas last year. Ended up trading him early in the year for someone else who didn't do jack (don't remember who...a WR I think). What looked like a potential big trade turned into a dud for both sides.

I passed on Thomas this year...hope I don't end up regretting it.

[Edited on September 9, 2010 at 11:38 PM. Reason : .]

9/9/2010 11:38:30 PM

So I already screwed up leaving P. Thomas on the bench tonight, so;

Pick 2 of these 3: Forte (vs. Lions), Bradshaw (vs. Panthers), and Harrison (vs. Bucs).

9/9/2010 11:42:32 PM

Harrison and Bradshaw

9/9/2010 11:42:54 PM

14 player league, 9th pick

QB - P. Rivers
RB1 - R. Brown
RB2 - C.J. Spiller / C. Taylor
WR - A. Johnson
WR2 - C. Johnson
WR/TE - T. Owens
TE - H. Miller
DEF - Eagles
K - J. Kasay

on the bench - D. Henderson, W. McGahee, C. Taylor, Chi D, Vincent Jackson (somebody dropped him to wavers and I'm holding out hoping the players union will win out and he'll get on some team by week 4)

looks like a good season

9/10/2010 2:37:59 AM

my current starters:
QB: Matt Schaub
RB: Frank Gore
RB: Ronnie Brown
RB/WR: Arian Foster
WR: Randy Moss
WR: Steve Smith (CAR)
TE: Kellen Winslow
D/ST: Cardinals (sitting the 49ers on the bench because Cards are playing STL... bad idea?)
K: David Akers

Bench: Jeremy Maclin, Clinton Portis, Kevin Kolb, Steve Slaton, Legedu Naanee, Jabar Gaffney, 49ers D/ST

first year i've done fantasy and i'm really enjoying it. suggestions/comments?

9/10/2010 8:40:23 AM

damn Favre barely even looked to throw it to Harvin, and then he barely got any return yards either. I got fucked there.

I'm still happy I didnt start Pierre Thomas in one of my leagues, I still think Arian Foster will put up more points than him this weekend

9/10/2010 8:48:46 AM

Just thought I'd ask again:
My 2 QBs are Flacco and Orton. I was planning on playing Flacco all along, but just now I was looking at my league and what ESPN's projections are. The project Orton to get me 18 points vs Flacco getting 11. I normally don't put too much stock into these projections, but I the Ravens are playing the Jets (away game for BAL)...and that probably won't bode well for Flacco's numbers. Denver is playing Jacksonville (away game for DEN). While I do think that Orton has a favorable matchup with the Jags, do you guys think that's enough for him to get the nod over Flacco?

Thanks.

Flacco is the better QB with better options...but he is playing the Jets. Any suggestions?

Also, we have a RB/WR position. I currently have Brandon Jacobs there. But the Giants said that Bradshaw would start and then they'd go with the hot hand from there. I can also put Hakeem Nicks, Clinton Portis, Michael Bush, or Dez Bryant at the position. I'm leaning towards Nicks...any advice there?

[Edited on September 10, 2010 at 11:07 AM. Reason : add]

9/10/2010 10:55:44 AM

I'm leaning towards Orton, Jax was 28th in passing D last year and tied for 27th with 28 passing TDs against. We all know the NYJ were the #1 D last year.
Orton had the 11th most passing yds last year (but he did have Marshall), Flaaco was 15th(without Boldin). They tied with 21TDs each.

Good lineup. I would think about putting Gaffney in for Smith (CAR) only because Gaffney is considered the #1 Wr against a poor defense. Moore is going to be under pressure from the NYG pass rush and he probably wont throw very much. Also play the 49ers D. They are better than the Cardinals by far and Seattle is just about as bad as the Rams due to injuries.


^^ I would play Orton as well. Better matchup on paper.

Bush may or may not play based on his injury. Bryant is a rookie and 3rd on the depth chart (really 4th if you count Witten). Portis will share with Larry (and they may be down quick and abandon the run). I dont think Nicks is an upgrade over Jacobs but its a tossup. Jacob could get a short yard TD or two but Nicks is an explosive WR. Tough decision there.

9/10/2010 11:15:30 AM

^ and ^^ Thanks guys. I'm thinking Orton as well. Still torn on Jacobs/Nicks. I'm assuming Bradshaw and Jacobs will split time fairly evenly (unless one is just unstoppable)...so its a toss up really. Probably slightly leaning towards Jacobs...but we'll see. The Panthers (who the Giants play) run defense wasn't very good last year. And they lost some guys up front so that probably won't help either. Their pass defense was pretty good last year...so I'm still a Jacobs lean.

[Edited on September 10, 2010 at 11:27 AM. Reason : add ]

9/10/2010 11:21:25 AM

Ive heard bad things about Jacobs just as far as him losing a step, and seeing how Bradshaw has done in the preseason. If it were me I'd either go Nicks or take a stab with Portis

9/10/2010 11:26:06 AM

Ahmad Bradshaw vs Car
or
Malcom Floyd @ KC

Only differences in normal scoring are .5 ppr & 2 extra points if the player gets over 100 yds receiving or rushing

9/10/2010 12:28:12 PM

This may go against common sense, but in this case I take Floyd. I think that the Chiefs are going to try and buckle down hard on Gates, since he destroyed them in both contests last year. With the extra attention that Gates receives I believe that Floyd may be due for a big week against a bad secondary. I think that the Panthers run defense will be pretty stout this year, and the redzone work will more than likely be going to Jacobs, so while Bradshaw may get a solid amount of yardage, I'll say 75 yds rushing, 20 yards receiving, I think Floyd will have a bigger day.

Don't shoot me if I'm wrong

9/10/2010 1:46:15 PM

^ I like your reasoning. I too suggest Floyd over Bradshaw. SD did put up 43 on KC last year

9/10/2010 2:16:04 PM

I'm thin at WR, should I start Dez Bryant, Steve Breston, or David Aromadashu?

9/11/2010 2:04:07 AM

Aromashodu

9/11/2010 9:53:12 AM

What defense would you rather have for the season?

Miami
Tennessee
New England

9/11/2010 10:12:19 AM

^ At this point, none of them are great options. I would just play matchups and get a new defense every week.

9/11/2010 10:18:11 AM

2 RB / 2 WR / 1 Flex spot.
Rush Yds / WR Yds: 1 yards per point; 25 points at 100 yards / 0.8 yards per point; 1 PPR
Rush TD's / WR TD's: 60 / 60

Despite the inclusion of PPR, RB's seem to be potentially more productive with the 25 pts @ 100 yds.

WR: Roddy White
WR: Steve Smith (NYG)
RB: Turner
RB: Gore
Flex: Mendenhall

Bench: Jamaal Charles, Bowe, Sims-Walker, Maclin, Brandon Jacobs

Thoughts?

9/11/2010 12:03:02 PM

^^ I agree, I drafted the 49'ers D but once their bye week hits I'll be playing the matchups the rest of season (aka whoever plays the rams or seattle that week).

^ I'm not big on Mendenhall this year, esp in PPR leagues. I'd probably consider Bowe or Charles in the flex spot instead, and I might even sub Bowe for Steve Smith since Carolina's D is looking pretty good right now.

9/11/2010 12:28:57 PM

QB Philip Rivers

WR Roddy White
WR Greg Jennings
RB Chris Johnson
RB Arian Foster

TE Tony Gonzalez

W/R Malcom Floyd

bench:
BN Mike Williams vs CLE
BN Clinton Portis vs DAL
BN Dexter McCluster vs SD
BN Jerricho Cotchery vs BAL
BN Matt Ryan vs Pitt
BN Roy Williams vs WAS
BN Jabar Gaffney vs JAC

Should i change out any of my current starters for anybody on my bench?

9/11/2010 5:48:16 PM

Nah, you're good. Gaffney may have a big day, but no way do you bench any of the guys ahead of him.

Good looking lineup.

9/11/2010 5:55:46 PM

I still can't decide whether to start Vince Young or Matt Ryan...Young is at home against Oakland which has a bad defense....Ryan is away at Pittsburgh which has a good defense but is playing their 3rd string QB...I am leaning towards Young right now

9/11/2010 11:45:12 PM

Go with Ryan. Oakland Pass D isn't that bad....it's their run D. CJ will have a field day they won't need to pass.

PPR League: Pick 2: Charles vs KC, Greene vs Bal, Forte vs Det

9/12/2010 12:09:28 AM

Forte and Charles.
