^^Percy has been on fire because he got to move back to his slot position with Moss there. Now, who knows. He might revert back to pre-Moss numbers. I think Welker will be much better in the long run

How do you guys think Moss is going to do in Tennessee? Can't decide if I should try one last time to trade him or hang on to him and give him a shot

11/4/2010 10:14:40 PM

Austin Collie had full practice today, that's great news.

11/4/2010 11:46:48 PM

Offers still rolling in...the Welker for Greene/Harvin is still on the table, and just got this one.

I give: Harvin/Blount
I get: Nicks/Green-Ellis

my wrs: Hines Ward, Percy Harvin, Steve Smith (car), Randy Moss
my rbs: Chris Johnson, Rashard Mendenhall, Jamal Charles, DeAngelo Williams, Shon Greene, and Blount.

thoughts?

Also,
Giants def vs. Sea(Whitehurst starting)
or
Vikings def vs. Ari (Anderson Starting)

11/5/2010 10:16:47 AM

I think that's a lateral trade. Blount a slightly better RB, Nicks a slightly better WR, since you're pretty good at RB, it may be worth it to have Nicks as a WR1

In terms of defense, I'd probably go with Giants, but that's a close one too.

11/5/2010 10:56:05 AM

Thanks, I just don't really feel comfortable with my wr's. At one point, I thought they were going to be ok, but it doesn't look that way now.

11/5/2010 11:04:11 AM

Ok, I got one, Bears (@Buf) or Patriots (@Cle). My inclination is to go with the Bears....

And Johnny Knox (@Buf) or Hines Ward (@Cin)

Panthro any advice on this one?

[Edited on November 5, 2010 at 12:06 PM. Reason : .]

11/5/2010 11:47:21 AM

Bears and Ward, no question

11/5/2010 12:53:56 PM

It's so funny nobody likes Matt Forte or Johnny Knox against the Bills. I'd imagine they'd have big games against the Bills this week.

Bills - 0-7
Bears - 4-3

Bills have allowed 30+ points per game in 5 of their last 7 games. And ranked 32nd in rushing defense. I don't get it. Bears aren't that great, but this should be an easy win. Granted the Bills picked up Merriman and almost beat KC & Baltimore, but still.

[Edited on November 5, 2010 at 1:54 PM. Reason : .]

11/5/2010 1:49:10 PM

I would take Forte against the Bills. In fact, I have him in one of my leagues and I plan on using him.

11/5/2010 1:55:27 PM

Well the in one of my leagues I'm playing Arian Foster as RB1 and Blount as RB2, when I asked around about Blount vs. Forte, a lot of people chose Blount. I was surprised.

11/5/2010 1:58:30 PM

^ Yeah, I like Knox alot more than most. His only bad weeks were when Cutler went out with a suspension.

I have to decide between Steve Smith (CAR) and Knox. I'm probably rolling with Smitty, as much as it pains me to do so.

11/5/2010 8:09:07 PM

^best case scenario is the panthers get behind and have to pass a lot

11/5/2010 9:11:35 PM

So somebody just dropped Shonn Greene in my league... he's also playing Detroit....

I know he's not living up to the hype and he's getting less carries but should I pick him up? If so, I'd need to drop one:

Ronnie Brown
Brandon Jackson
Ryan Torain who is also questionable

I have MJD as my primary back.

11/6/2010 12:28:12 AM

isnt brandon jackson worse than greene? jets good running game. packers terrible running game

11/6/2010 1:37:22 AM

^^I'd drop Jackson

11/6/2010 2:12:24 AM

With Harvin questionable I need to pick up a wr of waivers to be safe in case he can't go.

Robert Meachem vs CAR
James Jones vs DAL
Heyward-Bey vs KC

11/6/2010 8:44:05 AM

I'm badly in need of a TE. Who would be a good pickup in the market right now?

11/6/2010 9:00:40 AM

I'd probably go with James Jones out of those 3. Driver is battling injury and the Cowboys are atrocious.

I was offered Dustin Keller for L. Blount. I'm already stacked at RB and have Tamme for my TE. Keller had a great start to the season, but hasn't played well his last three games. Thoughts?

[Edited on November 6, 2010 at 9:05 AM. Reason : :]

11/6/2010 9:02:46 AM

^who are your other rb's?


So take James Jones over Meachem? I have Brees as QB, so I didn't know if Meachem would be worth the risk either?

11/6/2010 9:08:05 AM

Ha. Well, stacked may be overstating it. I have Arian Foster, LT, Shonn Greene, Moreno, and Blount. I'm not sitting Foster for the rest of the season and would be hard pressed to start anyone other than LT.

11/6/2010 9:13:57 AM

who are his rb's? Are you in need of any wr help? Blount seems to be projected for a pretty big second half, so you might could extract more from the guy if he is in need of rbs.

11/6/2010 9:16:09 AM

I'm hurting on WR. He has been starting Felix Jones and Brandon Jackson, so his RB situation is pretty awful. Ideally, I'd like to get Brandon Lloyd or Miles Austin out him, but he seems deadset against it, even if I cough up a lesser WR in addition to Blount.

11/6/2010 9:21:44 AM

Who are his other wr's?

11/6/2010 9:24:29 AM

who would you start this week next to Ray Rice? We get 0.5ppr, and 1pt per 20 rushing/receiving yards and 0.1 point per rushing attempt

Beanie Wells @ Minn
Cedric Benson vs. Pitt
Donald Brown @ Philly

brutal matchups for all 3 options. Beanie's allergic reaction in his knee is cleared up, but he'll probably surrender some carries to Hightower and Stephens-Howling, I'm also starting Minnesota's defense so its kinda counter-productive to start an RB playing against them.

Benson is the main man in Cincy, but Pittsburgh's defense is the toughest matchup out of all 3, plus Cincy might be playing from behind all game and will abandon the run.

Donald Brown is interesting with Addai AND Mike Hart out this week. His only backup will be Javarris James (whoever that is), so he should get plenty of looks this week. He just hasnt been effective at all recently, so he's hard to trust.

11/6/2010 10:53:04 AM

^ I would go either Benson or Wells, and depending on Wells knee, maybe lean heavier towards Benson.

More options for waiver wr pickup:

Robert Meachem vs. CAR
James Jones vs. DAL
Heyward-Bey vs KC
Brandon Tate vs. CLE
Devin Hester vs. BUF
Massaquoi vs. NE

Thoughts?

Also, out of the WR listed, and Deon Branch(just placed on waiver wire, can be picked up Nov. 6th), who would have more upside for the rest of the year as a 4th WR?

11/6/2010 11:40:19 AM

^do you get return yards? If so, Tate is a good call as a constant returner and the deep threat. Branch is pretty good, but he is banged up and I don't know what kind of injury it is so I can't say if it will be a season long thing

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

johnny knox (@Buff) or Josh Cribbs (NE)

return yards count which is why that is even a question

[Edited on November 6, 2010 at 2:36 PM. Reason : s]

11/6/2010 2:34:27 PM

^ no return yards don't count in my league. I guess I have it down to Meachem and Jones for this week. Just have to decide between the two.

11/6/2010 2:38:43 PM

Give: Colston, Blount
Receive: Kyle Orton

Thoughts?

My current lineup:
Schaub, Rice, Bradshaw, Roddy White, Crayton, Colston, Knox, Witten

Bench:
Ronnie Brown, Michael Bush, Malcolm Floyd, Hernandez, Lloyd, Blount, James Jones, Josh Freeman

I want an upgrade over Schaub and Orton has a great schedule for the rest of the year.

11/6/2010 2:51:24 PM

i need 2:

desean jackson, chad ochocinco and mike williams(TB)

desean would be a no brainer, but im not real sure about his post concussion....but they're saying he will play

11/6/2010 3:46:58 PM

^ Mike Williams has played well week in and week out. I think he has some big games left in him. I can't think of any reason why I'd want to start ocho cinco at this point. I'd probably start someone off the waiver wire before I did that.

11/6/2010 6:27:44 PM

I asked earlier and got no response, so I will ask again:

Pick 3, PPR and Return yards count:

Steve Smith (Car) v NO
Brandon Tate @ Cle
Josh Cribbs v NE
Johnny Knox @ Buff
Jacoby Jones v SD


all my other "good" receivers are hurt (and dropped) or on Bye... with steven jackson on bye, a shit defense, and Olsen continually shitting the bed (why did clark have to go an get hurt?) and marcedes lewis on bye too, I need some production out of my WR's today. HALP!

note: just saw that Breaston is available on waivers- should I pick him up and start him over anyone?

--------------------------------------------------------

to Wahoowa: I like Orton a lot more than Shaub right now (he is the 3rd highest producing QB right now). It sucks you are giving up a marquee receiver, but colston really has done squat this year, and he is banged up (I have him in another league and always contemplate benching him... I just can't bring myself to do it) and you are good on RB's... I'd do it

[Edited on November 7, 2010 at 8:30 AM. Reason : do it!]

11/7/2010 8:25:07 AM

^ thanks for the feedback on the trade. I think its a pretty even trade and it will help me alot more than Colston and Blount will.

As for your situation I would stay away from any Cardinals receiver except Fitz (he can pretty much get points on his own with his power and speed) and your current WR are going to be the same, if not better, than Breaston.

Im starting Knox for sure. A bit of a gamble since his game is the big play..not the short yardage 3rd down WR, but a Martz offense will definitely air it out so there is a good chance youll get some points against Buf.

You have to start Smith simply because he is the focal point of the offense and will get multiple looks his way. Moore has been throwing to him consistently (even when he shouldnt).

Out of Tate, Cribbs, and Jones, I like Jones simply because the game should be a shootout and both QBs will be airing it out. There is also the chance Andre could tweak his ankle and have to quit the game and Jones will take over the WR2 spot. Tate has been spotty and inconsistent as well as Cribbs.

11/7/2010 9:05:37 AM

I'm fucking torn on this. I need to fill these two spots. I feel like a dick sitting Matthews or Tolbert, but for some reason I don't feel right playing both of San Diego's RB's. Advice?

RB1 - Ahmad Bradshaw
RB2 -
Flex -

Ryan Matthews
Mike Tolbert
Braylon Edwards
Mario Manningham
Ochocinco

11/7/2010 9:37:19 AM

I say you almost have to start Tolbert there... SD hasnt been running the ball AT ALL until goaline situations. Ryan Mathews has to be one of the most dissapointing pickups of the year.

11/7/2010 9:45:56 AM

I'm not huge on any of those receivers though... you know that those running backs are going to at least get some touches (can't say the same for the receivers). I am never one to say start both backs from a team, but I owuldn't know which wr to throw into the flex either


--------------------------------------------------------


My WR situation just changed a little bit- I picked up sidney rice and dropped Jacoby Jones (I couldn't believe he was still on the waiver list). Anyway, as for today, it is just down to

Steve Smith (Car) v NO
Brandon Tate @ Cle
Josh Cribbs v NE
Johnny Knox @ Buff

where return yards count, and is a PPR league. I'm leaning towards Smith, Tate, and Knox, but cribbs is always a wildcard. It will be nice to have Rice back (if he can perform!)

11/7/2010 9:48:38 AM

Yeah, but if there was ever a game for Matthews to break out, this could be it against Houston. They definitely WANT Matthews to be the guy.


Do I start Matthews and Tolbert? Edwards could have a good day against Det, but I'm still leaning toward the RB duo.

11/7/2010 9:49:10 AM

so could cotchery, or keller, or LT, or Greene, or Holmes... NYJ offense is a mystery to me on who is going to show up, and I don't trust them (other than LT, who I have to with Steven Jackson on bye)

11/7/2010 9:51:55 AM

I'll roll with Matthews and Tolbert.

As for my 2nc Receiver, I'm thinking Steve Johnson at Chicago gets the start over Edwards, Manningham, and Ochocinco. Thoughts?

11/7/2010 9:53:34 AM

houston's rush d is average for the league. it's their pass d that's atrocious.

11/7/2010 9:58:19 AM

^^I would definitly take Johnson against the bears, and I am not just saying that because I am a Bills fan.


Which QB would you guys start?

Vick vs. Indy
Eli vs. Seahawks
Ryan vs. Bucs

[Edited on November 7, 2010 at 9:58 AM. Reason : .]

11/7/2010 9:58:21 AM

Vick.

I'm playing Vick over Eli. Desean Jackson is probably back, and Vick will force Indy to honor the run (which they haven't been good at).

11/7/2010 10:05:17 AM

i think i'm finally gonna get jon stewart to ride the pine this week after getting fooled for a couple of weeks and putting him in my lineup

watch him go the fuck off

11/7/2010 10:10:33 AM

^^That was my intial thought, but I keep remembering how nasty Indy's pass rush was against Houston. Not sure if that was a product of the Colts talent in that area, or the Texans poor pass protection.

11/7/2010 10:20:16 AM

Quote :

"I picked up sidney rice and dropped Jacoby Jones"

haha good call, i just picked him up too

11/7/2010 10:29:26 AM

who should I start as my WR3? I have Roddy White and Greg Jennings as my #1 and 2 WRs this week.

Pierre Garcon @ Philly
Patrick Crayton @ Hou

I have Garcon penciled in now, even though Wayne, Collie and Tamme will steal some of his looks. Crayton will probably be the #1 WR and will be battling a hurt Antonio Gates for the most receptions...

also,

Jay Cutler @ Buff
Matt Stafford vs. NYJ
Brett Favre ys. Ari
Chad Henne @ Balt
Jon Kitna @ GB
Carson Palmer vs. Pitt

I think I gotta go with Cutler's sorry ass this week due to the matchup alone. And before someone asks, I listed the best players available on the WW, I am not carrying 6 QBs on my roster


[Edited on November 7, 2010 at 10:46 AM. Reason : adsf]

11/7/2010 10:39:44 AM

someone just dropped Ryan Matthews in my league. kind of a shocker, although I just looked at his fantasy points for the season, and he has sucked hard.

11/7/2010 11:04:15 AM

^^ncstatetke asks why the hell shouldn't you have 6 qb's on your roster

^as mentioned earlier, he has been one of the biggest disappointments of the year... I don't think I'd pick him up unless I was really hurting at RB.

[Edited on November 7, 2010 at 11:05 AM. Reason : u]

11/7/2010 11:04:37 AM

^^^ I gotta say I like Favre against Arizona... just a gut feeling.

Anyway, Garcon or Branch? Garcon is the easy choice with that Q next to Branch I imagine...

[Edited on November 7, 2010 at 11:05 AM. Reason : ^ lol... 3 of the top 6 picks!]

11/7/2010 11:05:28 AM

-Rivers or Flacco?
-I'm starting Turner and Wells at RB, but I've got Tolbert on the bench. Any thoughts?
-Start Davone Bess and TO, or should I get Lance Moore into the mix against Carolina?

11/7/2010 11:19:55 AM

def. rivers. the houston pass d is completely awful. that's a must.

pick one

brandon jackson v dallas
shonn greene v det
beanie wells v min
jonathan stewart v no
