if they're offering you Sheff and Cotch, do it

I think LT will get back to being healthy soon enough and Sproles value will drop a good bit...I think Scheff could have just as good a season as Miller as long as Cutler is zinging it all over the place

9/17/2008 5:39:38 PM

pick 1 for this week:

d. mcfadden vs. buffalo
d. jackson vs. pittsburgh
m. harrison vs. jacksonville

9/17/2008 6:54:00 PM

Harrison, definitely.

9/17/2008 6:58:39 PM

THE GUY IM PLAYING AGAINST WONT KNOW WHAT HIT HIM

9/17/2008 7:07:58 PM

im trying to convince this guy with tarvaris jackson to take chad pennington and rashard mendenhall for deangelo williams.

HELP ME CHOOSE my second RB:
I'm starting Darren McFadden and I need to pick one of these:
Michael Bush - @ BUF - (getting decent carries behind run DMC)
LeRon McClain - CLE - (had decent yardage in the first game, but he's a FB)
Rashard Mendenhall - @ PHI - (hasn't done jack shit all year)

9/17/2008 7:09:40 PM

Bush by far

9/17/2008 7:11:58 PM

yea, i guess it kinda is a no brainer

come on dude, trade me deangelo!

i can't trick anyone to trade me a good RB for Chad Pennington (my best backup player, argh)

9/17/2008 7:18:29 PM

i dunno about the definitely part...i thought he looked completely healthy in the Panthers Colts preseason game a month ago, but he's looked pretty so-so the first 2 weeks of the season...i still might start him but i think its a closer call

9/17/2008 7:21:01 PM

disclaimer

dweedle vs. Shivan Bird this week in fantasy

9/17/2008 7:24:21 PM

hahaha that makes sense then

every now and then i'll see something in this thread thats like "yeah you should definitely trade westbrook for fargas and colbert" and i'm like hmmmm

If you had the opportunity to trade the bears defense fore braylon edwards would you do it? The Bears D/ST has been great so far. I have Seahawks D/ST waiting in the wings which has not been great. Edwards has had a rough start but he should come around right? What ya think?

9/17/2008 9:29:35 PM

edwards will come around i'd do it

plus the seahawks defense got 8 sacks last week (against SF but still)

you might want to swap defenses here and there during the season, but braylon was a 2nd/3rd round pick and a top 5 receiver for a reason...no defense is worth as much as his potential week in and week out

9/17/2008 9:31:23 PM

OK,
so I have a big matchup with a long time friend this week that I could use some help with.. here is my roster and who they are playing:
QB Matt Hasselbeck StL
WR Jerricho Cotchery @SD
WR Antwaan Randle El Ari
WR Devery Henderson @Den
RB Adrian Peterson Car
RB Leon Washington @SD
TE Heath Miller @Phi
BN Ben Roethlisberger @Phi
BN Ronnie Brown @NE
BN Kevin Walter @Ten
BN Ricky Williams @NE
BN Sidney Rice Car
BN Ahman Green @Ten
BN Matt Cassel Mia

Any advice is appreciated on who to start over the other or any of that is appreciated!

9/17/2008 9:58:26 PM

ROFL if you start either Matt over ROFL

9/17/2008 9:59:47 PM

lose
Addai

get
Steve Smith



thoughts?

current WRs:
andre
ocho
bryant johnson
berrian
hackett

current RBs:
addai
grant
stewart
rice
m. bush
chris perry

need RB help but i might need WR help more..... i have good faith in my "back up" RBs this year in the long run... stewart and rice primarily. things could be ugly though if i get rid of addai and stewart/rice don't end up doing shit.



[Edited on September 17, 2008 at 10:02 PM. Reason : ]

9/17/2008 10:00:07 PM

thats tough, since neither group is particularly stellar. i'd probably go with smith just because he's gonna have a point to prove plus he's jake's favorite target, whereas the colts seem to be sputtering somewhat

9/17/2008 10:02:10 PM

i think i may do it... and then acquire brandon jackson to handcuff ryan grant (i'd lose bryant johnson in that deal.... but if i have steve smith then i could care less about bryant johnson).

plug in big ben at qb...devery vs. walter is a tossup...i like ronnie brown over leon washington unless you get like 1 point for every 10 return yards

9/17/2008 10:07:53 PM

L. Coles vs. SD
or
R. Williams vs. SF

9/17/2008 10:16:30 PM

i hope delhomme steps it up. Trading for a QB is going to be a bitch.

9/17/2008 10:16:52 PM

i got offered Devin Hester and Armani Toomer for Felix Jones....


i have J. Jones, and C. Johnson at RB starting...

with Fargas, Norwood, and J Lewis on my bench...

WRs are Moss, Bryant Johnson, and Coles....

so yay or nay?

9/17/2008 10:44:56 PM

should i drop Coles for K-Rob?

9/17/2008 10:45:45 PM

and i dropped norwood for k rob

9/17/2008 10:52:09 PM

i wouldn't drop coles from k-rob, yet

Wtf, why are you even considering this?

- Unless your league gives mad points to return yards, hester has negligible value. He still isn't a receiver. Toomer is ho hum.
- Felix has been putting up starter points so far and is getting decent touches in their offense. In fact, he has also been a better return man than hester this year.
- He is one injury away from being the starter in the best offense in the NFL. This is value you have to be compensated for.

No

Hopefully i can get brandon jackson off waivers. Hamstring injuries are usually nagging.

9/18/2008 12:33:47 AM

Someone just dropped Maroney. 10 team league, my rbs are AP, Turner, Grant, Julius Jones (Play 2 and one flex). We have a short bench - only 4 spots, mine already has Colston taking a spot and potentially Grant hogging one too soon... Should I consider picking up Maroney?

9/18/2008 8:14:37 AM

no

9/18/2008 8:33:13 AM

Pick 1 RB:

J. Stewart vs. Minn.
S. Morris vs. Miami

Pick 3 WR:

Santonio Holmes vs. Philly
D. Henderson vs. Denver
Chansi Stuckey vs. SD
L. Coles vs. SD
A. Randel El vs. Arizona

My WRs have been completely shit for the last two weeks. I think I'm leaning Stuckey, Holmes and Henderson.

Thoughts?

9/18/2008 9:10:29 AM

^ Morris - Maroney is apparently out so I would expect him to get a large amount of touches against a defense far worse then Minnesota. WR wise I would play Holmes, Henderson and Stuckey, which I'm now just reading you were thinking too, I would stick with that.

9/18/2008 9:14:57 AM

#2 RB, Pick 1:
J. Stewart @ MIN
R. Rice vs CLE
M. Bush @ BUF
C. Perry @ NYG
R. Grant vs. DAL

9/18/2008 10:02:59 AM

Everyone is saying that the eagles D is going to be stingy, but we have to remember the relationship that Donovan and Ben have...pretty steamy




They will help each other out

9/18/2008 10:14:57 AM

Anyone think that Michael Bush is a starter this week? Fargas and McFadden were sidelined yesterday.

He got 90 yards and a score last week...

Should I pick him up?

9/18/2008 11:33:21 AM

I would, his 90 and td all came in the 4th quarter.

9/18/2008 11:34:48 AM

romo vs GB or
rivers vs NYJ?

both guys have been playing really well so far this season, any advice?

9/18/2008 11:36:57 AM

I like Romo better in that matchup...and I'm not convinced Rivers is a top 5 fantasy QB quite yet.

9/18/2008 11:38:43 AM

I wouldn't bench Romo regardless of match-up really unless P-Riv had like Detroit, haha. Though the GB secondary is better than the Jets. Think the GB/Dallas game could be a shootout.

Not sure what to expect from the SD offense. My guess is they try and establish the run early depending on LT's availability. They tend to get behind because they can't run the ball and P-Riv has to bring them back. Maybe this will be the week they air it out early and setup the run.

9/18/2008 11:48:26 AM

#2 RB, Pick 1:
J. Stewart @ MIN
R. Rice vs CLE
M. Bush @ BUF
C. Perry @ NYG
R. Grant vs. DAL

9/18/2008 12:39:19 PM

I'm offering this guy Chris Johnson, Jamal Lewis, and Jericho Cotchery for Larry Fitzgerald and he's not biting. He desperately needs another RB and has plenty of WRs.

I have Chris Johnson, Jamal Lewis, Matt Forte, Johnathon Stewart, Chris Perry and LT for 2 running back slots.

9/18/2008 1:14:34 PM

keep jcotch and give him two RBs for one of his lesser WRs

9/18/2008 1:30:51 PM

Help me pick 2, in a PPR league...

Roddy White v. KC
Santonio Holmes v. Philly
Braylon Edwards v. Baltimore
Torry Holt v. Seattle

I'm leaning towards Edwards and Holt, although White might do well against KC... any suggestions?

9/18/2008 1:37:46 PM

edwards is busted, go with White. I am and word on the street is that KC is starting two rookie CB's so he will get targets. They will most likely crowd the line to stop the run (which they suck at) and it will open up single coverage on unexperienced guys. Im starting him and I think he will have a huge week

9/18/2008 1:48:57 PM

I was last in waiver order & couldn't grab john carlson

My current TE is Vernon Davis, so I obviously want to add a little depth. My question is which of these available TEs should I grab?

Randy McMichael (targeted 12 times, 7 rec, 101 yds, 0 td, 10 fant pts)
David Martin (targeted 11 times, 7 rec, 85 yds, 1 td, 14 fant pts)
Robert Royal (targeted 8 times, 6 rec, 52 yds, 1 td, 11 fant pts)

Royal is on waivers (wouldn't clear them til Sunday morning, before the games start) & the other 2 are free agents

9/18/2008 2:12:00 PM

^ Either McMichael or Martin...they are both going to be passing a lot this year...Buffalo is a bit more reliant on their run game than the other two...

Probably McMichael since they aren't playing NE this week...

Pick 2:

Addai vs. Jax *
S. Jackson vs. Seattle *
E. Graham vs. Chicago
Perry vs. NYG

* Current Starters, and best projected point totals....

9/18/2008 2:16:48 PM

^looks like you got that right.

If you had to drop one, Sammy Morris or Kevin Smith. Morris is the better producer but in a big time-share, Smith is the starter but really isn't doing anything because the Lions are getting WAY behind every game.

9/18/2008 2:23:24 PM

Chris Cooley or John Carlson?

9/18/2008 3:20:24 PM

i went with carlson, but im last in the league in points basically.

9/18/2008 3:31:51 PM

Pick 2:

Clinton Portis vs. Arizona
Willie Parker @ Philly
Matt Forte vs. Tampa


Although I guess this is really Parker vs. Forte. Portis seems like an obvious play.

[Edited on September 18, 2008 at 3:48 PM. Reason : .]

9/18/2008 3:40:52 PM

Portis and Parker

[Edited on September 18, 2008 at 3:44 PM. Reason : ]

9/18/2008 3:44:47 PM

If I'm having TE issues & have WR depth, what do you think of trading Marvin Harrison or possibly L Coles for Chris Cooley?

Or would I just be better off dropping K-Rob for a free agent TE?
