D. Marino against Broughton

9/14/2007 1:02:46 AM

^, ^^

AHAHHAHAHHAHA

9/14/2007 10:19:16 AM

Hasselbeck or Grossman? Play Minnesota or drop them for Tennessee?

9/14/2007 12:05:41 PM

I have the sickest, youngest, keeper league roster:

Peyton Manning (Franchise him every year)
Willie Parker (Free agent next year)
Willis Mcgahee (two years left on his contract)
Adrian Peterson (signed him to a 4 year deal)
Marshawn Lynch (sighned him to a 4 year deal)
Reggie Wayne (two years left)
Marques Colston (1 year left)
Todd Heap (2 years left)

Had to gloat. Should compete for the championship for the next half decade...

9/14/2007 1:44:10 PM

I have both McNabb and Romo.

I got burned last week by playing McNabb and I am currently going with Romo for this week at the Fins. But I dont want to miss out on McNabbs resurgence at home against the Skins....


Panthro, any intuitive suggestions to help my decision?

9/14/2007 3:11:16 PM

i say go with mcnabb off week last week

Don’t forget, the Dolphins’ D boasts a bevy of Pro Bowlers: Jason Taylor, Zach Thomas and Joey Porter, to name a few. And although they gave up some rushing yards in last week’s 16-13 overtime loss at Washington, the Dolphins shut down the pass. In fact, if you take out a lucky 54-yard Hail Mary throw at the end of regulation, you’ll see that Redskins QB Jason Campbell went 11-for-20 for 168 yards with two interceptions.

Romo’s in for a bit of a wake-up call here.

flex:
brandon jackson vs. the giants (morency is out, jackson gets more carrries)
OR
wes welker vs. chargers (maybe more focused on moss, therefore welker opens up?)

and no points for return yards in my league. which one at the flex?

9/14/2007 5:51:36 PM

^^ I couldn't disagree more.

Yes, minus the hailmary at the end of the game, those would have been Campbell's stats, but let's not forget the stark contrast between Dallas' offense and Washington's. Miami has a great front 7 with Taylor, Porter and Thomas...but their secondary is easily one of the worst in the league. T.O, Romo and company will have a field day in this game, especially in the first half. I think that the Cowboys will open up by throwing the ball, then finish them off with MB3 and JJ. This game could potentially be a shootout with all of the injuries in Dallas' Defense, especially their secondary. In a shootout, I'll take Romo with 275yds, 2 TD's, and INT and 30 yards rushing.

Conversely, Washington's "grind it out" philosophy will try to keep the ball out of the Eagles possesion as much as possible. Those hogs were built to run block, and with a healthy Portis and Betts, I dont think that + the shaky looking Philly offense will equal big numbers for McNabb. He simply wont have enough chances. I see Donovan having 230yds, 1 TD's, 2 INT's, 11 yards rushing.

Neither are terrible options, but I would start Romo. How can you not after throwing 4 TD's, running for 1, and thowing for 300+ last week?

ROMO!

9/14/2007 6:56:48 PM

pick 2:

Deion Branch @ Arizona
Darrell Jackson @ StL
Devin Hester vs. KC

we allow for return yards/TDs in my league, and the Bears have said that they are going to try to get the ball in Hester's hands more on offense.

My other starter is Javon Walker

9/15/2007 9:29:18 AM

First two. Hester can't catch

9/15/2007 10:54:05 AM

Hasselbeck vs. Arizona

or

Kitna vs. Vikes

9/15/2007 12:25:53 PM

Hasslebeck. Vikes D is nasty

pick 2:

stallworth v SD
D ward vs GB
crayton vs miami
mason v nyj
dunn v jac

I wonder about stallworth. Ward looked good last week, and even though GB has a good defense, I can still see ward rushing for a TD.

9/15/2007 12:29:04 PM

omg always go with the rbs esp dunn vs jags

dunn and ward

9/15/2007 1:09:16 PM

ok, i should have mentioned only pick 1 RB above. How about this - pick 3 RB:

lynch v pitt
bush v carolina
ward
dunn

And who is the best WR option in ^^

9/15/2007 1:15:26 PM

^I'd leave out Dunn*

above, I'd go with Crayton as the WR, unless you're 100% confident Stallworth's week 1 was a fluke.

And Ward as the RB*


*-unless you're 100% confident the Jaguars week 1 defense was NOT a fluke

9/15/2007 2:13:01 PM

Starting

Betts vs Phi
Galloway vs NO
Winslow vs Cin


bench

T. Jones vs Bal
M. Furrey vs Min
J. Whitten vs Mia

Should I make any changes or keep the starters as they are. Furrey is pretty much a no go, but not sure if I should gamble on Jones at the flex position instead of Galloway.

9/15/2007 4:41:41 PM

I just posted in my league that I was looking for a WR trade as I drafted too many players that have a bye in week 6. I just got a trade offer for Roy Williams for Bernard Berrian and Marty Booker.

I have to play 3 WRs and my WRs and byes
Andre Johnson 10
Roy Williams 6
S Holmes 6
Backups
A Gonzalez 6
D Williams 8
S McDonald 6

I am tempted on this trade as Berrian could have very good stats and Booker has a chance to be a decent backup. Should I not do the trade and just keep my team and grind it out on week 6 and maybe take a loss but will have a good team the rest of the season or do I make the trade or counter? The team offering has Calvin Johnson and in some ways I think he is screwing himself if I make this trade.

9/15/2007 4:41:52 PM

^ never trade one great player for two good players. Having one week without two of your stud WRs is not a big deal. See if he'll take a deal for two of your lesser WRs for Berrian.

9/15/2007 7:10:51 PM

Hasselbeck or the golden jew

QUICK. if id played the jew last week i would have had 20 some points from him, instead i got like 12 from HASSELBEX. then again he had no one to throw to, like at all

then again if no one answers i'll just leave it the same cause i won last week anyways. my team is BRILLIANT, its so good i still have room to represent ncsu pretty well

[Edited on September 15, 2007 at 10:10 PM. Reason : ha haaaaa]

9/15/2007 10:07:35 PM

hasslebeck can lick my balls

he didnt throw to deion branch once last week

9/15/2007 10:22:52 PM

Point per reception league...

Pick two from...
P. Burress
J. Galloway
C. Chambers

I'm leaning towards Galloway & Chambers

9/16/2007 10:29:51 AM

Galloway is the easy choice, he will get behind the Saints DB's

It's hard to bench Burress after last week, but I'd probably lean toward Chambers since it looks like Newman won't play for Dallas again this week.

9/16/2007 10:43:42 AM

would you guys start Ben R. vs BUF or Marc Bulger vs SF


Ben and Pitt looked high powered last week and I have a feeling it will continue

but STL will be looking to bounce back...

what do you guys think?


also, pick one:

Randle El vs PHI, M. Booker vs DAL, or Branch vs ARI

I am leaning towards Randle El or Branch

9/16/2007 11:02:06 AM

Thomas Jones @ Baltimore or Chris Brown vs Indy?

9/16/2007 11:17:28 AM

i would give brown a chance to prove himself


Bears have too good of a rush Defense


now answer my question

ppl in this thread should not post questions without answering those above

[Edited on September 16, 2007 at 11:23 AM. Reason : Brown will be looking to separate himself from L.White]

9/16/2007 11:23:02 AM

HEY!

COME ON!

ITS FOOTBALL SUNDAY AN HOUR AND A HALF BEFORE KICK OFF

WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE?!?!

9/16/2007 11:39:00 AM

branch didnt have a single point last week thx to hasselbeck

start him if you dare

9/16/2007 11:40:27 AM

Hold your horses, haha, here's some advice:

Go with Big Ben. That offense has been opened up some, and he played with a high-level of confidence last week and I look for that to continue with good balance with Willie Parker.

Plus the Rams O is gonna suffer some from losing Pace and San Fran's defense will look to put pressure on Bulger all game.(see: Patrick Willis and Manny Lawson) Plus their DB's aren't bad, Clement is a pro-bowler and Walt Harris is sufficient.

WR:
Look for Washington to run first with their 2 RB's. Don't forget that despite Randle El's performance last week, Santana Moss is still the #1 guy and they'll probably look to get Cooley more involved than they did last week. The Eagle DB's are pretty good despite some injuries, so I'd stay away from Randle El.

I like the Booker match-up. Last week Dallas got torched through the air, and despite Chambers taking catches away, I think there is room for Booker to get some good looks, maybe even a TD.

I've learned one thing from owning Deion Branch...he's a terrible fantasy WR. He'll have one big game a season, maybe two, but other than that it's 2-3 points every week. The Arizona D didn't look bad last week and Adrian Wilson is a beast in the secondary, so look for him to spy a little on Branch if he's not blitzing Hasselback.

Hope that helps.

Anyone starting Eli Manning this week? I know its blasphemy around here, but I think I might go with him over Rivers.

9/16/2007 11:55:34 AM

^Eli is going to start btw. Just found out. Both the Packers and Pats defenses are good, so I wouldn't know who to pick. Personally, I'd go with Eli.

[Edited on September 16, 2007 at 11:59 AM. Reason : manning]

9/16/2007 11:57:44 AM

should i drop deion branch and pick up Eric Johnson (NO tight end) or Bobby Engram (teammate WR)?

or make no move

9/16/2007 11:59:53 AM

Fred Taylor vs ATL or Julius Jones @ MIA? I am leaning towards Taylor.

^Who is/are your other TE(s)?

[Edited on September 16, 2007 at 12:04 PM. Reason : need to make a decision]

9/16/2007 12:03:55 PM

^^^^I'd be hesitant on Eli, the Packer D is solid and he's not at 100%. Plus the running game is going to lag a little bit with the loss of Jacobs and Ward moving into the starting spot.

^^I'd just sit on it. I know I always talk trash about Branch on here, but he's a #1 WR and has the POTENTIAL to have big weeks. I like him over those other 2 guys.

^Oh definitely go with Taylor against the Falcons. Miami's front 7 is one of the best in the league and I expect them to try to shut down the run. Plus the Falcon's D hasn't shown the ability to stop anything. Taylor will split carries but so will Jones, so go with Fred this week.

[Edited on September 16, 2007 at 12:06 PM. Reason : .]

9/16/2007 12:04:44 PM

^thx

Someone offered me I. Bruce & R. Curry for Calvin Johnson. I'm definitely thinking NO, but I wanted to know what you all think?

[Edited on September 16, 2007 at 12:09 PM. Reason : help]

9/16/2007 12:06:35 PM

Peyton v Tenn? or Romo v Miami?

9/16/2007 12:08:15 PM

Damn, good situation to have. I go Peyton.

9/16/2007 12:09:42 PM

Starting

Betts vs Phi
Galloway vs NO
Winslow vs Cin


bench

T. Jones vs Bal
M. Furrey vs Min
J. Whitten vs Mia

Should I make any changes or keep the starters as they are. Furrey is pretty much a no go, but not sure if I should gamble on Jones at the flex position instead of Galloway.

9/16/2007 12:21:16 PM

my other TE is tony gonzalez

9/16/2007 12:22:49 PM

The JETS running game against the baltimore defense? hahahaha

9/16/2007 12:23:21 PM

^^^I also have both Witten and Winslow at TE.

I am going to start Witten this week because he was pretty damn good last week and Winslow has a new QB throwing to him. I just don't like the situation Winslow is in now.

9/16/2007 12:28:26 PM

Lynch @ PIT
Lewis vs. CIN
Pittman vs. NO


Start one of those guys.... I have Lewis slated to start right now but with Caddy looking doubtful, Pittman is interesting.

9/16/2007 12:29:08 PM

^^^^^It's Witten, not Whitten, and I would start Witten this week instead of Winslow.

^Sit Lewis, and start the other two.


[Edited on September 16, 2007 at 12:31 PM. Reason : Mr. Roto said to bench ALL your Browns]

9/16/2007 12:29:12 PM

Steven Jackson is one of my RBs... just dont know who to start as my #2 between Lynch/Lewis/Pittman.

9/16/2007 12:30:53 PM

kable33 - do not take that trade. He's trying to sell Curry high and I'm just not sold on that offense.

jmpack15 - Lynch is the best option you have.

Hoodie - NEVER sit Peyton unless he's on BYE, haha.

9/16/2007 12:32:25 PM

^^OH, my bad.

Start Pittman or Lynch. I'm going to say Pittman b/c they are playing NO. PIT's run D > NO's run D.

[Edited on September 16, 2007 at 12:33 PM. Reason : haha]

9/16/2007 12:32:52 PM

stallworth needs to prove he is worth something so i can trade his ass

9/16/2007 12:33:49 PM

Patrick Crayton or Drew Carter? Need a 3rd WR.

9/16/2007 12:38:04 PM

Crayton. Carter must have been a fluke?

9/16/2007 12:46:06 PM

i debated picking up carter, but i have steve smith and dwayne jarrett (low on my bench) and just feel like a 'homer' if i have 3 carolina receivers
