MJD would be a decent play if he was healthy but its looking like Fred Taylor is gonna get most of Jacksonville's carries this week

Brandon Stokley is available in my league.....would he be a better flex option than say Jesse Chatman or Cedric Benson or even Kenny Watson?

10/26/2007 1:07:21 PM

^no.

Chatman will have a productive game in London this weekend, especially if you happen to be in a PPR league.

Start Chatman

10/26/2007 1:29:17 PM

Think Gores ankle issues should factor in enough that I should start Graham instead?

10/26/2007 1:31:45 PM

^Graham has been a good fantasy option and his job is on the line now that Bennett is there. Go with him.

Hey Panthro I have to start 3 of these or pick up a Stokley, Jason Wright, etc.

Benson vs DET
Watson vs PIT
Jamal Lewis @ STL
Chatman vs NYG
Travis Henry vs GB

What do you recommend?

[Edited on October 26, 2007 at 2:27 PM. Reason : Damn 3 with the flex]

[Edited on October 26, 2007 at 2:38 PM. Reason : Travis Henry just got realeased in my league]

10/26/2007 2:20:00 PM

pick 2:

Portis VS NE, Gore VS NO, Chatman VS NYG, and Maroney VS WSH

no points per reception, and most points are via TD's.

Gore's most likely a starter, but I can't decide the other one.

^i'd go Lewis (if healthy) and Chatman...Benson's got a pretty good match up, but he's been crap this year.



[Edited on October 26, 2007 at 2:23 PM. Reason : .]

10/26/2007 2:21:38 PM

Haha I have 4 Bears starting right now: Griese, Benson, Muhsin, Olsen.

That combined with my injuries plus my ^^ situation =

Haha I have even contemplated picking Bulger back up and starting him.

[Edited on October 26, 2007 at 3:30 PM. Reason : my team is so bad started 3-0 and now 4-3]

10/26/2007 3:28:19 PM

Kevin Jones vs Chicago or Deshaun Foster vs Indy?

Also, play which one of Colston, Berrian or Calvin Johnson?


Leaning toward Jones and Colston

I picked him up so fast, it wasn't even funny, esp. in my only PPR league where I was dying for RBs. Thank you Ronnie Brown for getting hurt.

I'm taking your word for it too, Panthro.

10/26/2007 5:05:04 PM

I am in the same "start Benson or Watson" situation. Which way would you all lean?

10/26/2007 5:19:20 PM

^I'd pick Benson. He's playing Detroit while Watson is playing Pittsburgh.

10/26/2007 5:51:43 PM

Toomer vs dolphins or Harrison vs panthers?

10/26/2007 6:16:45 PM

^I'm not the Guru, but I think you should start Harrison.

10/27/2007 12:38:31 AM

Marvin Harrison's a gametime decision...if you learn that Harrison is playing, go with him, otherwise I'd start toomer

10/27/2007 12:39:36 AM

id go with toomer. the colts wont need to pass the ball by mid way through the 3rd. I actually think the dolphins giants game is going to be close

10/27/2007 12:42:54 AM

^agreed.

Marvin is resting up for the Pats game. He will play sparingly just like he did last week.

Start Toomer

10/27/2007 12:57:33 AM

just tryna fill in where i can bossman

10/27/2007 1:03:16 AM

I most certainly appreciate it

10/27/2007 1:07:21 AM

rivers or brees

note that every time i start rivers he plays like ass, and he had his best game of the year when i benched him. also, i have bush, so if i start brees i'm likely to get points for most saints td's vs the niners.

another thought i had was to pick up the texans D and start rivers. he seems to be good for a pick 6 whenever i play him

10/27/2007 9:27:36 AM

this is shaping up to be a good week for Rivers.

No joke, I look for Rivers to get about 200-250 and 2-3 scores.

The Texans won't have an answer for Gates or for the size of Chambers and Jackson, and I think the Chargers realize that they are only go as far as Rivers takes them, so it's imperative that they get him rolling in a non-divisional game this weekend.

Start Rivers and enjoy the success. This will likely be a game where they try to "give back" to the fans, who are battling the wildfires out there, so they are going to put on a show.

10/27/2007 10:25:26 AM

i don't know about that. they didn't start winning until they gave LT more carries. they were losing and turner was getting criticized for not utilizing LT. the chambers pickup was definitely to make teams respect the threat of the pass, but it was ultimately a move intended to give LT more room to run. also, it's nice to think that the chargers are going to give back to the fans dealing w/the wildfires, but the fact is that they were dealing with them too. they've been all over the place trying to practice and focus on football this week, and didn't even know where they'd be playing until about a day ago.

i have to think about it more before i make the call, but right now i'm still leanin towards brees. he's had back to back solid weeks and is going up against the 49ers. i'm just not expecting the texans to keep it close enough to warrant the chargers throwing the ball after the first half. another 3+ TD-fest for LT wouldn't surprise me at all.

also, chris chambers is 5'11"

you've given your thoughts on rivers, what about your thoughts on brees? and if were to just ask which qb had the best chance at throwing for 2 scores, would you still say rivers? i think my answer to that would be brees as well.

i definitely will take your advice into consideration, but as of yet i'm not sure i'm convinced rivers is the best play. but i'd definitely love to start the guy and see him shine, i just feel like as soon as they get the lead they'll just pound it with LT.

10/27/2007 11:32:13 AM

great counter point, and you may very well be right. But the Texans defense has been terrible lately, and I think that Rivers is going to exploit their quick, young, aggressive defense with some deep playactions to Gates, Jackson, and Chambers. This season, the Texans are giving up 345 yards per game on defense, with about 220 in the air. Last week, Kerry Collins, with no real receiving weapons to speak of, lit them up for 280 yards. Granted, he had no scores, but he also doesnt have the above mentioned receiving threats.

As for Brees, I don't think he will have a bad game, but I'm not sold that he will have a great one either. San Fran has some pretty decent corners, and the starting center, Jeff Faine for NO is going to miss the game so he won't have the good protection up the middle that he is used to. If Brees is to have a big game, I don't think it will be because of Colston or Henderson. It will likely be because of Bush, or Johnson (who is making his return to San Fran and makes a sneaky TE fill-in by the way!). Expect more dink and dunks from Brees this week, with the likelyhood that one or two could be for scores.

With that said, I still like Rivers, but neither will hurt your team this week.

10/27/2007 2:08:02 PM

marvin harrison is out

btw marshawn lynch is in line to have a huge game. Vilma is out for the year for the jets

^yeah....

I saw that on NFL Network earlier today.

thanks for posting it.

10/27/2007 9:44:40 PM

^Sorry about the Marvin Harrison advice. I seriously thought he was going to play.

Also, who do you think will play: Jamal Lewis or Jason Wright for the Brownies?

[Edited on October 27, 2007 at 11:12 PM. Reason : aaarrgghh, handcuff]

10/27/2007 11:04:48 PM

wright

10/27/2007 11:18:27 PM

Haha guy I am playing has Harrison still starting...hopefully he won't find out.

So looks like Lewis isn't going to play against an awful STL defense.

Pick 2 from this bunch for me please:

Cedric Benson vs DET
Jamal Lewis at STL
Chatman vs NYG
Kenny Watson vs PIT
Jason Wright at STL

10/28/2007 12:35:30 AM

id go with chatman and watson


chatman and watson wll both prob catch a lot of passes. watson could end up with more rec yds than rushing.

10/28/2007 12:38:07 AM

Ok, For a WR and a W/R spot:


Chatman
Stallworth
Berrian
Evans
S. Young

[Edited on October 28, 2007 at 12:40 AM. Reason : ^^ Don't be a pussy. You want to beat the other guy's best shot. ]

10/28/2007 12:39:36 AM

Haha he is favored at every position. Isn't it his job to keep up?

Hey I meant start 3 with you go Chatman, Watson and Benson for the 3rd?

[Edited on October 28, 2007 at 12:45 AM. Reason : ^Evans was actually good last week he might be back to his self]

10/28/2007 12:44:48 AM

berrian for sure, i really think you always have to go with the avg rb over the slightly above avg WR, so chatman

[Edited on October 28, 2007 at 12:49 AM. Reason : .]

[Edited on October 28, 2007 at 12:49 AM. Reason : ^ god i hate benson.]

10/28/2007 12:48:00 AM

Hey Boobs what do you think about Marc Bulger?

They are predicting a big game out of him this week against the Browns...is he worth taking a flyer on? I have Griese starting for me in Romo's bye week.

10/28/2007 12:50:49 AM

keep griese starting

10/28/2007 12:51:19 AM

So Benson over Jason Wright?

Benson was my 3rd pick by the damn computer.

ppr? etc

[Edited on October 28, 2007 at 1:00 AM. Reason : /]

10/28/2007 12:55:25 AM

It's a custom league we have....10 yards rushing/receiving=1 point. TD = 6 points....no point for a reception

My bench is 4 Bye players and 3 starters who are injured. My team is terrible.

10/28/2007 1:14:59 AM

I am favored to win by 40 points over my opponent.


Therefore, I will lose this week.

10/28/2007 1:29:25 AM

yea id go with wright if he starts

10/28/2007 1:44:20 AM

forget what i said


go with benson. if he doesnt do shit this game, he'll be peterson's back up.

10/28/2007 1:54:14 AM

Ok, if I start Steven Jackson I have to take him off of my IR list. So it's actually important I take him off at the right time.
So is it worth taking him off of IR to start over Clinton Portis today?

And does Calvin Johnson/Andre Davis get the start over Donte Stallworth?

10/28/2007 9:10:17 AM

Earnest Graham (tons of touches last week) vs Jax

or

Fred Taylor (Jones-Drew banged up, new QB) @ TB

10/28/2007 9:29:44 AM

I'm starting Anderson over Peyton today. I know it goes against the ASYS rule, especially with Manning, but I have several reasons for it.

First, DA has a great matchup against a weak STL defense, and the Carolina defense has been playing very well lately.

Secondly, I think Anderson is the real deal, and I need to get comfortable with the idea that if he has the right matchup, I should start him. In my fantasy playoffs he has two of the best matchups for the year, and I may need to use him.

Thirdly, I have a hard time pulling against the Panthers, and if I pull for Manning, I'm pulling against my team. I don't like being a man divided.

Lastly, I'm 7-0 and I really don't care. I have 2 games on everyone (the only 1 loss team is to me, so it's really two games), and at this point I just weant to have some fun.

10/28/2007 9:46:22 AM

Injuries and byes have left me with this shit for a situation...

start 2 rbs...

Addai (obviously), Michael Bennett, Selvin Young, Najeh "dookie" Davenport, Leon Washington.
I'm leaning towards Young and hope that Henry splits time or doesn't play.

10/28/2007 9:49:29 AM

stokley or cotchery?

10/28/2007 9:50:38 AM

cotchery

10/28/2007 9:52:49 AM

Portis or Steven Jackson?

10/28/2007 10:01:03 AM

^ jackson.

If he is going to play, it's agoing to be his show today.

Portis will be phased out in about 1-2 quarters and the Skins will be forced to throw to catch up.

Start Jackson

10/28/2007 10:17:15 AM

so if jason wright plays today i wanna pick him up, but i don't know if my league has same day adds. i checked the settings and didn't see anything about it. is this a default setting?

10/28/2007 10:35:16 AM

i'm praying jason wright plays too ^^


Panthro (or anyone else) what do you think about this trade: Steven Jackson for Antonio Gates

I REALLY need a running back (maroney and marion barber are my starters) and I've got Heath Miller to replace Gates. But I just don't know how good Jackson's gonna be.

What do you guys think??
