Dammit Norv couldn't Philip have thrown for at least one TD???

And I played LT, Moss, Brady, Packers D and Matt fucking Stover. I got killed.

I went from 3-0 to 3-3 quick.

[Edited on October 14, 2007 at 10:52 PM. Reason : Page 45 says I should have gotten to play LT next week with a bye]

10/14/2007 10:51:53 PM

Do you pickup patten or kevin walter?

10/14/2007 10:58:46 PM

what the fuck seahawks? worst end game play calling




Question for yahoo users:


If you pickup a player on game day then drop that player, does that player not go on waivers? Dude was able to immediately pickup a guy I picked up and dropped.

The internet says he goes on free agents if you drop him the same day you add him.

i had lt, hasselback, steve smith, joey galloway, and adrian peterson today...BIIIIIIG win

10/15/2007 12:03:43 AM

^^^ Andre Johnson may be back, and if he is you don't want to get Kevin Walter. I'd keep an eye on him before I made a move for KW.

10/15/2007 12:10:19 AM

aha, I forgot that I had originally drafted kevin walter too (2nd to last round). Dropped his ass quick

10/15/2007 12:28:22 AM

Peyton
Willie Parker

10/15/2007 8:31:55 AM

what do you guys think of these trade offers?



Fred Taylor and Marques Colston for Frank Gore

Fred Taylor and Marques Colston for Laurence Maroney

Fred Taylor and Marques Colston for Reggie Bush

10/15/2007 9:42:28 AM

Take Bush.

10/15/2007 10:21:05 AM

I've got Ronnie Brown, Jones-Drew, Frank Gore, and Thomas Jones, but I need some help at receiver.

Thomas Jones -> Reggie Wayne
Thomas Jones -> Dwayne Bowe

Which should I take?

I just went to 5-1 in my league, but receiving is thiiiin.

10/15/2007 11:19:59 AM

Wayne by far. He is the number one receiver on a great passing team. I wouldn't give you Wayne for Jones, though, but if you can get it, nice work. Also, with Harrison going down, he'll be even more involved if that injury lingers.

I'm feeling pretty good, 6-0 at this point. I get a guy who is one game behind me at 5-1 this week, but he has LT, and LT has a bye.

10/15/2007 11:24:29 AM

No-brainer Wayne.

10/15/2007 11:35:12 AM

Yeah, well, this guy has Addai as #1 RB and DeShaun Foster as the #2, and he has Housh and Braylon receiving.

So he's kind of against a wall.

10/15/2007 11:38:59 AM

yahoo won't say but can someone tell me when Deion Branch and Steven Jackson are expected to be back?

10/15/2007 12:51:35 PM

any updates on Sammy Morris' injury? Jamal Lewis' injury?

10/15/2007 12:59:03 PM

hows this for a trade:

TO+detroit defense for Reggie Wayne+Baltimore Defense

10/15/2007 1:20:41 PM

Umm good if you are getting Wayne and Baltimore.

Detroit defense? Wow.

10/15/2007 1:37:20 PM

I am but believe or not the detroit defense actually has a pretty good total for fantasy points

10/15/2007 1:39:04 PM

i had 84 points between LT and Adrian Peterson alone

10/15/2007 1:43:17 PM

I've got a 6 pt. lead in one of my leagues. My opponent has Eli left......I need a small miracle

if I end up losing I'll have the 2nd highest pt total of the week to go with my L, gotta love that

10/15/2007 1:43:24 PM

Romo and Palmer are my QBs, but my two starting RBs were Maroney and Stephen Jackson.

So I'm in desperate need of RB help.

A guy in my league has Tomlinson, Adrian Peterson and Willie Parker with Brees and Eli as his QBs.

What do you think of trading either Romo or Carson Palmer for either Peterson or Parker?

Which one should I trade? Is it even worth it? Etc.

10/15/2007 1:52:28 PM

Here's a trade...

I trade Fitzgerald for Moss. Would you do it if you have already pretty much secured a spot in the fantasy playoffs?

Ive all but sealed the deal to make it to the three-game-playoff in my league... Moss is obviously the better player this year, but with the Patriots running away with their division, they might start sitting guys late in the year once they have secured home field advantage. So Moss might not be much help in a fantasy playoff that goes from the 13th-16th week of the season.
Fitzgerald and the Cardinals will probably still be fighting for their playoff lives at that point in the season, making Fitzgerald a more viable fantasy playoff WR.
But what do I know? What do yall think?

10/15/2007 1:52:49 PM

^^ In addition to my trade thoughts, which TE should I pick up:

Greg Olsen or Todd Heap?

10/15/2007 2:19:23 PM

i still don't know how i have a loss this year

hasselbeck, eli, LT, adrian peterson, brandon jacobs, travis henry, steve smith, donald driver, joey galloway, andre johnson, todd heap, kaeding...i'm 5-1 now and shouldn't lose any more unless i have some major injuries

^olsen...heap hasn't played/touched the ball in a few weeks

[Edited on October 15, 2007 at 2:43 PM. Reason : .]

10/15/2007 2:43:14 PM

^^^ You absolutely have to take Moss if you are only giving up Fitz, especially given that it looks like Warner will be out for an extended period of time.

^^ As for the TE question, with McNair's naggin injuries and Boller's inept QB play combined Heap's inability to stay in the starting lineup, you have to go with Olsen. Even more now that Griese is looking like he could actually be a serviceable option at QB.

10/15/2007 9:04:33 PM

STOP WITH THE GODDAMN REUBEN DROUGHNS SHIT

10/15/2007 9:15:50 PM

lol

yeah, I'm not really sure why they didnt let Jacobs punch it in there.

10/15/2007 9:24:50 PM

Giants are stupid. Jacobs is too slow to be the main back.

10/15/2007 10:02:27 PM

which is why I dont think getting rid of Ward is a great move right now.

10/15/2007 10:08:46 PM

i'm up 7 right now with no players playing but the guy who i'm playing has the giants D

that int at the end kind of hurt, but we'll see what happens

10/15/2007 10:12:45 PM

Should I just cut ties with Steven Jackson considering the season is lost for the Rams?

10/16/2007 9:05:43 AM

no. the rams are only 2 games out in their division. i just heard their coach on foxsportsnet radio, and he said they're definitely bringing steven back. he's working out lightly and has been upgraded to "Doubtful" this week.

10/16/2007 9:16:09 AM

^The Rams are three games back, and what makes you think that they are going to turn it around? They are HORRIBLE. I mean, I understand Jackson coming back will somewhat help, but man, I have no faith in the Rams being able to block for Bulger or Gus, much less for them being able to make holes for SJ.

10/16/2007 9:38:08 AM

I disagree about picking up Moss for the fantasy playoffs now that ive thought about it. Who knows how much he'll be playing the last three games of the year, as the Patriots rest their studs for the playoffs.
Like the Colts did two years ago, after they lost that game to end their undefeated run, they starting sitting Peyton, Marvin, and edge.

So is Vince Young about to start to catch the Madden Curse with his injury? Hopefully not.

10/16/2007 10:50:47 AM

^ I hope not, though the only league I have him in is one that I have essentially locked down a last place finish due to some shitty auto-drafting!

Having Travis Henry last season really opened up Vince Yound to scramble alot more and set up the play-action. Losing him + the injury bug has really hurt his value.

The Madden Curse + the sophmore slump were and are both inevitable for Vince this year.

I would be hesitant to start him again until he:

1) Obviously is back from injury
2) has proven himself not to be turnover prone and can be a consistent fantasy point producer.

10/16/2007 12:57:33 PM

Quote :

"He rejected the trade for Parker/Brees. Also pick three receivers: Bernard Berrian @ Philly Santana Moss vs. Arizona Anquan Boldin @ Washington Marques Colston vs. Atl And since I've still got Palmer, pick one: Romo vs. Minnesota Palmer vs. NY Jets"

Berrian (Griese is looking pretty solid and will be going up against an older and opportunistic Eagles secondary), Boldin (assuming he is back from his injury, they will be throwing often), and Colston (The Saints could be coming back into form and are playing a very beatable Falcons secondary.
See last night against the Giants).

Stay away from Moss for now. He has been an underachiever for the past year and a half. Way too streaky to be put in the mix as a starter for now.

As far as the QB, I would have to go with Romo. You can't run on the Vikings D, so throwing will be the only option, whereas the Bengals have tried and failed to go toe to toe against teams by passing, and have failed almost every time. With Rudi expected to be at full force this week, I think they will run to set up the pass. Palmer will have good numbers, but Romo will put up stellar ones in a bounce back performance from last week.

Start Romo, Berrian, Boldin and Colston.

10/16/2007 1:05:16 PM

i know this is football but does anyone know of a free college basketball fantasy league?

10/16/2007 2:26:03 PM

i don't know of any college anything fantasy leagues...i'm sure they're out there somewhere but not in the mainstream

10/16/2007 2:39:17 PM

cbs.sportsline.com has a college fantasy football league that i'm in. i dont pay attention to it though. instead of player names, your roster is made up of groups such as "RUTGERS RB, CALIFORNIA WR, BOSTON COLLEGE QB", etc...




Michael Bennett was just signed by the Bucs. I added him in one of my leagues and dropped Ron Dayne. Thoughts? I believe Bennett will be a success in Tampa Bay... He's a lot more comparable to Cadillac than Earnest Graham.

10/16/2007 3:42:25 PM

Also, Chris Chambers was just traded to the CHARGERS. That is big news for Rivers.

10/16/2007 3:42:56 PM

even bigger news for those who are interested in Marty Booker, who is now the number 1 in Miami

10/16/2007 3:49:53 PM

This is also fantastic news for Vincent Jackson.

Say what you want about him (alligator arms, butter fingers, etc.), but he is a capable WR who will definitely benefit from this.

10/16/2007 3:59:22 PM

LOL, I doubt that relegating VJ to the #2 position will help his production.

He'll face opponents #2 CB, but he'll also be the 2nd option instead of the first.

10/16/2007 4:02:19 PM

whats worth more fantasy points, a running back with 50 yards and two touchdowns vs one who just ran for a hundred yards but did not have any tds???

10/16/2007 4:08:32 PM

i'd take the guy with 2 TDs and 50yds because that would be 14pts in my league. The guy with 100yds and 0 TDs would have gotten me 4pts.

Depends on your league settings...

10/16/2007 4:32:25 PM

in my league: 50 yards (5 points) and 2 TDs (12 points) = 17 points
in my league: 100 yards (10 points) and 0 TDs (0 points) = 10 points

10/16/2007 4:41:45 PM

there should never, ever be a time where 50 yards and two TD's isn't worth more than 100 yards.

By deduction, that would mean that 50 yds is > than 2 TD's and 25 yds would be > than 1 TD.

Absurd.

"Shawn Alexander vs St. Louis, Jones-Drew vs Indy, or Marshawn Lynch vs Baltimore. Also Toomer vs San Fran or Derrick Mason vs Buffalo."

I really like Jones-Drew again this week. He will likely have almost as many receiving yards as rushing, but he should be an important part of the offense in a game where the Jax WR's won't be very effective. Alexander is being phased out by Weaver and Morris (no joke) and he is really struggling to find a grove so far this season. Lynch will also suffer from the aggressive Baltimore Defense. This will likely be a low scoring game, so Lynch would remain active throughout. While I don't see him finding paydirt, he will be a good yardage option. I would rate those as MJD, Lynch, Alexander.

As for the WR's, you have to go with a hot Giants offense and Toomer as opposed to Mason who will have a terrible Kyle Boller throwing to him.

Start MJD and Toomer
