Quote :

"And my opinions.... QB WHO TO START Romo - This one is the easiest of all 3 choices. He is playing well, and will be playing in a game that is likely to be a high scoring affair. 2 TD's. 250 yards. Easy. Favre - I know its out on a limb, but I have a great feeling about Favre this week. If this is his last season, which it may very well be, this will be his last game at Lambeau. You cant run on The Vikings, so Favre is going to throw at least 50 times. He will defintiely throw 2 picks, but I also believe you can add 325yds and 2 TD's to that stat line. WHO TO BENCH Rivers - He hasnt been playing great lately...to say the least. Compound that with the fact that they will be playing in Seattle, which has been brutal to opposing (and home) QB's in the past few weeks because of the wind and rain, I see this as another showcase of "Everyone suck LT's Dick". I dont trust Rivers this week. WR WHO TO START Fitzgerald - without a doubt Lienart's favorite target since he has come back from the hammy injury. SF sucks against the pass, and Fitz had 8 catches for 130 yards last time they met. WHO TO BENCH Johnson - he has played well against the Colts, going for 60 and a TD last time they played, but he has been plagued by inconsistency in the past few weeks. He is a high risk, high reward start. You cant do that in the finals. Booker - injury forced him out of last weeks game in the 1st quarter. He didnt return, and he shouldnt return to your lineup until he can prove he is healthy. Roy Williams - I bet he will be so close to scoring 40 points this week, it will be crazy. LOL. That was from his earlier game vs the Bears this season. I didnt forget how he bad mouthed thier secondary, The Bears didnt either. He won't do shit. RB WHO TO START/WHO TO BENCH WOW, this one is a toughy. Both left last weekends games with apparent injuries, and didnt return. Chester's body is literally breaking down because of all the carries. With that in mind, and the fact that his game is on Thursday, it doesnt give him much turnaround time. He will be limited, so Henry should be in your lineup. It looks like he will play, and regardless, he is the teams bonafide Goal Line back. Start Henry. TE WHO TO START Colston - He looked awesome this past week, and if it werent for some bad throws, he could have had ~4 more catches. I think he is back from the ankle injury. A must start. Crumpler - I am going out on a limb here, as the last 4 games, Alge has only caught 11 balls for 197 and a TD. The last time he played the Panthers, he has 3 for 30 and a TD. The Falcons need this game, and Vick will throw, yes I said it, all over a depleted Panthers secondary. Alge gets 5 balls, 70 yards, and a score. WHO TO BENCH Gates - he only caught one ball last week, Rivers is playing like shit, Seattle is a tough place to throw, the Seahawks have the linebackers and safties (Tatupu, Peterson, etc) to match up with him. I could regret it, but I dont think Antonio Gates will be productive this weekend. Defense New England - No question. They are playing the best ball of those options, and the Jax offense had been anythign but impressive lately (except when they played the Colts, but they wont run like that on NE, especially with Fred Taylor hurting). Start NE. There you have it. I hope this helps. - The Guru"

thanks fellas

12/19/2006 5:29:37 PM

I've got Steve Smith and Andre Johnson as two of my receivers and Colston at TE, whom should I start at third receiver?

Mike Furrey vs. Chicago
Devery Henderson vs. NYG

And of course, the usual Eli (vs. NO) vs. Vince (vs. Buffalo) for QB debate and Indy D (vs. Houston) or Cincy D (vs. Denver).

[Edited on December 20, 2006 at 10:59 AM. Reason : ]

12/20/2006 10:58:26 AM

D. Henderson

I don't really trust either Smith or Johnson right now either. They've had a couple of sub-par games the last two weeks. Never know each Sunday.

Go Vince Young. He's the truth.

12/20/2006 11:00:55 AM

Thanks, man.

Other thoughts?

12/20/2006 11:05:49 AM

Mewelde Moore - GB
or
Deion Branch - SD

i'm thinking moore

pick 2

Keenan Mcardell - Sea
Mushin Muhammad - Det
Reggie Brown - Dal

I'm thinking Mcardell and Moose.

12/20/2006 11:10:40 AM

Henderson

Eli - its going to be snowing in Buffalo this weekend. Vince may not be as effective.

Indy D.

12/20/2006 11:10:49 AM

Everything for me is set except for QB. I have had Harrington and Big Ben for the past five weeks or so, and they have been solid for me, but with Ben playing Baltimore, things are a little different.

I picked up Rattay off the WW but I don't know if I am confident he will work well in his first real start. It's a toss up, and this is make or break time. I figure Ben will get me decent numbers because FWP can't run too much, but Rattay in my mine is a possible star, possible complete bust.

My starters now:
QB: undecided
RB: LT, Dayne (sitting Deuce)
WR: holt, Fitz, Galloway (sitting Cotch among others)
TE: Colston
K: Vinateri
DEF: NE (sitting Miami)

[Edited on December 20, 2006 at 12:01 PM. Reason : hg]

12/20/2006 11:59:49 AM

I mean, Rattay IS playing the CLEVELAND BROWNS.

12/20/2006 12:22:09 PM

Jones-Drew vs. NE
Alexander vs. SD*
Parker vs. BAL*

pick two

[Edited on December 20, 2006 at 3:31 PM. Reason : * = starters]

12/20/2006 3:30:53 PM

I think the Ravens are going to do the same thing they did to Pittsburgh the first time they played each other. Bench Parker for Jones-Drew. Besides, JAX is playing at home, and they are usually good at home.

12/20/2006 3:49:10 PM

I'd actually bench Alexander instead of Parker.

when Parker cant run the ball, he becomes an integral part of the passing game. The same cant be said for Alexander, who will be playing on a tough defense that just shut down Larry Johnson.

Also, keep in mind that Taylor may not play this weekend for the Jags, increasing the workload for Jones-Drew.

I like Jones-Drew and Willie as your starters.

12/20/2006 3:50:52 PM

^^ there must be some toher factors there, like return yards.

If not, how can you consider playing Moore at RB when he got 0 carries last week, 1 the week before, and Pinner (sp?) is now the proven backup to Chester.

Play Branch

Also, there is no way in hell you can ever consider starting McCardell. Have you seen the shitty season he is having?

Bench Keenan.

12/20/2006 3:54:12 PM

I ended up picking up Randel El in both leagues. I'm in the championship game in 2 leagues, but projected to be lose by 20 in one and like 30 in another (both opponents have LT).

I basically need Westbrook and Steven Jackson to go the fuck off, because I have them in both leagues. but they're going against the Dallas and Washington D's respectively. It's not looking great, but I hope to pull at least one out.

12/20/2006 4:27:19 PM

Pick 2:

Grossman @ Det.
Green @ Oak.
Garrard vs. NE

12/20/2006 4:38:54 PM

Grossman @ Det.
Green @ Oak.

12/20/2006 5:22:12 PM

yup

[Edited on December 20, 2006 at 8:11 PM. Reason : no contest there]

12/20/2006 8:11:27 PM

Ok, HUGE game this week... will break the first place tie, and is the difference between $500 and $100...

Chicago D vs Detroit

or


Green Bay D vs. Minnesota


obviously Chicago is better, but they are playing for jack shit and will probably rest a lot of starters and the Green Bay game is outside, 70% chance of precipitation, and Minnesota is starting a Jackson at QB, first time starting... leaning towards green bay

12/20/2006 10:51:03 PM

i would start chicago just because of the big play potential, and because it is a division rivalry. they don't want to get beat by the lions.

also, hester is a murderer with the ball, and i doubt they'd sit him.

12/21/2006 12:35:58 AM

I wouldnt get points from him... that goes under return yards

12/21/2006 12:40:16 AM

Jamal Lewis
Jones-Drew
Rudi Johnson

pick 2

Rudi and Drew at the moment
should I change?

12/21/2006 2:53:48 AM

No. If you do, put Lewis in for Drew.

12/21/2006 1:17:12 PM

I'm in the semifinals....
pick two WR: I'm thinkin smith and evans or coles and evans b/c wienke sucks and wahle is out.
Steve Smith
L. Coles
Lee Evans
Stallworth
pick one RB cause steven jackson is a must start
J. Addai
D. Rhodes
Travis Henry (I'm leaning toward henry)

12/21/2006 2:20:19 PM

I would not play smith this week.

12/21/2006 2:21:45 PM

WR: Coles & Evans

RB: One of the Indy RBs (I say Rhodes unless Addai has healed from his foot injury. Dungy says Addai is going to play, so if you feel confident about his foot, go with Addai. Otherwise, Rhodes will be the safe bet.)

12/21/2006 2:24:51 PM

If addai is gonna be out I'm definately goin with Rhodes, but rotoworld has henry ranked at 15 this week.. I hate this shanahan-esk two running back theme

12/21/2006 2:28:23 PM

RB2 (play 1):

McGahee vs Ten
Dayne vs Indy
Cadillac (questionable) vs Cleveland

12/21/2006 2:51:22 PM

Damn, it would be hard to sit any RB going against IND's D. I think Panthro could give you better advice.

12/21/2006 2:55:20 PM

Alright in the semi-finals and need some help cause i have some pretty shitty matchups

Pick 1

J. Lewis vs PIT
Foster vs ATL

Pick 1

Ward vs BAL
Furrey vs CHI

Vinetari or Wilkins

Garcia or Rivers (starting Garcia after last weeks craptastic performance)

[Edited on December 21, 2006 at 2:58 PM. Reason : kickers]

12/21/2006 2:58:04 PM

RB: Are you serious? Lewis of course.

WR: Ward

K: Wilkins

QB: Garcia

12/21/2006 3:43:50 PM

Chad Johnson vs. DEN (ankle injury + Champ Bailey = not good)
TO vs. PHI (never know with this rivalry of player vs. team)
Chris Henry vs. DEN ( could be an option that stays away from Champ)
JCo vs. MIA (not much out of him lately and MIA D is good)


Currently have TO and Chad starting, but thinking of switching Chad for Chris Henry/

Pick Two. Thoughts?

12/21/2006 3:44:13 PM

WR (Pick 1)
Coles vs MIA
S. Moss vs STL

Already starting Holt and Colston there and Crumpler at TE.

RB(Pick 1)
Houston vs MIA
Brown vs NYJ

Already starting Gore.

12/21/2006 10:02:41 PM

ive got 2 teams in championships this week and have got a few issues. let me know what u think:

team 1:
chris henry @ DEN. or donte stallworth @ DAL
maurice jones-drew vs. NE or marion barber vs. PHI

team 2:
maurice jones-drew vs. NE or jamal lewis @ PIT
jerricho cottchery @ MIA or deion branch vs. SD
philip @ SEA or hasselbeck vs. SD

the players listed first are the ones i've got in right now.

12/22/2006 10:24:39 PM

I'd pick Stallworth and MJD for team one,

team 2 cotch, MJD, and rivers. not that i think rivers will do that well, but i think hasselbeck won't.

12/23/2006 10:30:41 PM

should i go with willie parker or leon washington. supposedly the jets other back is questionable and washington will get most of the carries. willie's good, but he's going against the ravens

12/23/2006 10:35:38 PM

god, those choices are awful....nothing available on the WW?

12/24/2006 1:51:54 AM

willie parker.

if he cannot run, he will get involved in the passing game.

Leon is too much of a gamble in t he championship game.

12/24/2006 8:50:06 AM

ok, baltimore D against pitt or NE D against jax?

12/24/2006 12:15:52 PM

I'd say NE D. Garrard has been known to turn it over quite often and I expect they'll try to put pressure on him. And without Fred Taylor the ground-game will struggle with a hobbled-Jones-Drew running the ball a lot.

12/24/2006 1:01:35 PM

^so much for that.

I'm loving how my finals are looking so far!

12/24/2006 4:05:32 PM

glad i went with baltimore, haha

12/24/2006 4:07:56 PM

I love me some stephen jackson right now.....cotdamn

12/24/2006 4:37:22 PM

^ i 2nd that

12/24/2006 4:41:55 PM

Yes Steven Jackson is money this week.

But I suck with my QB's, I never play the right ones.

Last week I played McNair and sat Vick...BIG mistake.

This week I started Vick and sat McNair...BIG mistake.

12/24/2006 8:13:03 PM

Reggie Bush is making my fucking day in my championship match up .. he's carried me through the past 4 weeks ... and they told me I was crazy on draft day

12/24/2006 8:27:48 PM

I'm tied 90-90 in my championship game. The other guy is finished and I have Owens and Reggie Brown playing tomorrow.

Unless something terrible happens I will be pulling off my first championship in an extremely competitive league that is in its 5th year.

12/24/2006 8:33:00 PM

i won my league thanks to great days by Steven Jackson and Mark Furrey...Furrey was a mid season pickup when he just came into his own on the lions to replace chris chambers who was my biggest bust of the season

12/25/2006 2:45:39 AM
