Manningham
Maclin
Collie/Garcon

[Edited on October 14, 2009 at 3:29 PM. Reason : yes, i know im not Panthro]

10/14/2009 3:28:48 PM

I'd say Smith is a lot more valuable than LT.

Pick 2:
Andre Johnson @ Cin
Wes Welker vs Ten
Sims-Walker vs STL
Santonio Holmes vs Cle

Panthro: Rank these WRs here on in:

Austin, Collie, Garcon, Maclin, Manningham

decided to throw Austin in there since he's the flavor of the [next] week

10/14/2009 3:46:43 PM

I countered that Smith for LT trade, this one is pending:
I get:
R Wayne
J Harrison
He gets:
Mendenhall
R Williams

I have Peyton which is a bonus

10/14/2009 3:56:07 PM

which r williams

Roy ?

Thats highway robbery

Better hope he's dumb

10/14/2009 4:03:00 PM

it's Roy...he was strapped for a RB...worked out for both. he accepted.

10/14/2009 4:12:41 PM

ORTON @ SD

or

BREES vs. NYG


??????

^I don't want to answer that simply because you have to be a moron to even think about that.

"so what you're saying is giving up LT for Smith is a good move?"

I'm not sure about that trade, I'm saying I think it was a good move for me to try and snag LT from waivers...he kind of has some big upside...as for your trade, so does Smith...it honestly depends who your other RBs and WRs are...if you are solid at RB I might do it...if you're solid at WR but not RB I probably wouldn't

[Edited on October 14, 2009 at 7:04 PM. Reason : nm looks like you got it taken care of]

^^It's not as big of a gap as say in week 1, but I wouldn't overthink it...play Brees

[Edited on October 14, 2009 at 7:05 PM. Reason : .]

10/14/2009 7:03:51 PM

yay, got maclin and burleson. i had to drop my kicker, though.


This anthony gonzalez/pierre garcon/collie situation needs to sort itself out soon, though, because it is taking up my bench spots.

"^I don't want to answer that simply because you have to be a moron to even think about that."

eh, come on thats a bit harsh. Yes Brees is probably the right choice, and yes people can "overthink" things, but its not as moronic as you might think. Obviously Brees seems like the obvious starter. But in my league consider this:

Brees' games: 40, 21, 2, 4 ~Avg: 16.75
Orton's games: 11, 12, 10, 17, 17 ~Avg: 13.5

Brees has been hot and cold while Orton has been solidly consistent. It at least warrants a glance at who the opponent is perhaps. Especially when you consider that the 40 pt game was against Detroit, one of the worst passing defenses in the league, and also the team that has given up 4 more passing TDs than any other defense. Also consider that Brees' opponents this week have one of the best passing Ds statistically in the league this year.

When you start to break it down, it is not as easy of a decision as you make it seem. Yes its easy to overthink this stuff, but I wouldnt call anyone a moron for at least giving Orton a second thought in that situation.

10/14/2009 8:26:36 PM

I would.

10/14/2009 10:46:00 PM

would you drop Rice to pick up Nicks? I want him, but we've got a limit of WRs on the roster and I'm at my limit.

10/14/2009 11:15:53 PM

^I definitely would not

[Edited on October 15, 2009 at 3:36 AM. Reason : ]

10/15/2009 3:35:47 AM

Is this for a bench spot, or starter?

I'd take Nicks over Rice as a bench player at this point, because I think he has bigger upside. He has touchdowns in the past two games and as we've seen the Giants passing game is putting up monster numbers. If Nicks became the #2 there consistently, that would be $$.

I hate to recommend a UNC player, but you have to throw bias shit like that out.

10/15/2009 1:03:02 PM

Cincinnati D/ST vs. HOU
or
Baltimore D/ST vs. MIN

10/15/2009 1:11:28 PM

^^yeah, this is for a bench spot

^tough one..probably baltimore. Houston seems to put up big numbers and i think baltimore has the better D.

10/15/2009 1:13:22 PM

^im somewhat in the same dilemma

I like Cincy, the Vikings are going to score thats without a doubt...Schaub is shaky but can put together some nice 3 td games from time to time, I just feel as if Houston is more vulnerable to sacks


My Dilemma comes between playing either Cincy vs Houston or Kansas City vs. Washington

10/15/2009 1:13:41 PM

Minnesota's scored 156 pts vs. Houston's 115 pts though

10/15/2009 1:14:36 PM

precisely why I say play Cincy

10/15/2009 1:16:33 PM

yea, i was talking to guy above u

10/15/2009 1:21:46 PM

anyone have an idea of how Lynch will do? I have this sneaking urge to play McCoy vs. Oak....he's more or less splitting time with westbrook and the oakland part is quite tempting!

10/15/2009 4:33:05 PM

I just made this trade and it has been processed. Most people in our league say I made a bad trade, but I like it and that's all that matters. Tell me your thoughts.

GOT:
Steven Jackson
Nate Burleson

GAVE:
Antonio Gates
Ray Rice

Notes-
Heath Miller is now my only TE (Only need 1 anyways, and Miller isn't that big of a drop off from Gates in all reality)
Steven Jackson is having a down year so far thanks to the Rams, but he is still Steven Jackson and could put up huge numbers (#1 RB is MJD)
Other RBs are MJD, Sproles, Larry Johnson, and Ricky Williams... So losing Ray Rice doesn't hurt that bad.
My #3 WR has been either Cotchery/Antonio Bryant all year, so Nate Burleson is an upgrade from those two for the time being (Top 2 are Roddy White and Steve NYG Smith)

Is it really that bad of a trade I made? I definitely took a chance on Jackson, but if he pans out then my two RBs will be MJD and Jackson. Not bad.

also - currently #1 in the league overall so maybe i should of left trades alone.

10/15/2009 5:10:37 PM

you shouldnt have anyone on your team from the rams

[Edited on October 15, 2009 at 5:14 PM. Reason : team]

10/15/2009 5:14:29 PM

Who should I start this week -

Cooley vs. KC
Heap vs. MN

Heap is projected to have 10 more points, however I could see Washington actually playing well against the Chiefs, whereas I'm not sure how Baltimore's OL will hold up against MN's pass-rush, meaning less time for Flacco to throw it. Maybe that's a good thing and he'll be looking for an outlet to the TE more frequently?

10/15/2009 5:16:15 PM

I'd probably go with Heap.


Pick 2:
Andre Johnson @ Cin
Wes Welker vs Ten
Sims-Walker vs STL
Santonio Holmes vs Cle

10/15/2009 5:45:53 PM

Donte Rosario (TE, Panthers) hurt his ankle yesterday and sat out of practice today...anyone in a deep league with him might want to keep an eye out

^Andre and...I'd play Holmes...but if its PPR I'd play Andre and Welker

[Edited on October 15, 2009 at 5:54 PM. Reason : .]

10/15/2009 5:54:23 PM

Eli (@NO) or Matt Ryan (Chi)

and

Steven jackson (@jax) or julius jones (ariz)

10/15/2009 6:13:02 PM

ryan/jackson

anyone have a feeling on lynch this week? I have an urge to start McCoy over him based on my gut.

10/15/2009 6:49:19 PM

my commish just proposed a trade where I'd get Cotchery and I'd give up ADP

I countered with a Rackers for Peyton offer

10/15/2009 7:30:08 PM

lol.

10/15/2009 8:38:19 PM

W. Parker v. Cle

OR

R. Mendenhall v. Cle

????????

10/15/2009 9:25:41 PM

i don't really expect willie parker to be productive as a RB in real life or fantasy.. ever again.

edit: ok just read that mendenhall was out with the flu today.. i'd still go with him though, parker doesn't get in the endzone too much

[Edited on October 15, 2009 at 9:40 PM. Reason : ~]

10/15/2009 9:37:54 PM

I think Parker is done, but don't hold me to that.

Steve Smith (NYG) vs Saints or Cotchery vs Bills?

I'm leaning Cotchery bc the Saints D is good vs pass, but Smith has had a monster season so far.

10/15/2009 9:39:13 PM

Smith all day

10/15/2009 9:57:36 PM

ok a few calls to make this week,
debating
H. Miller or A. Gates at TE...

and pick two WR:
D. bowe (KC)
M. Sims-Walker (JAC)
T. Holt (JAC)
S. Breaston (ARI)
L. Moore (NO)

leaning towards bowe and sims-walker this week...

10/16/2009 12:14:20 AM

Gates

Bowe and Sims

10/16/2009 12:15:48 AM

thanks, yeah Pitt at Cleveland is a nice match up though and the broncos are doing pretty well.
One reason I am also leaning towards Big Ben over Matt schaub but will wait to decide.

10/16/2009 12:18:15 AM

ok, third try!

anyone have a feeling on lynch this week? I have an urge to start McCoy over him based on my gut.

10/16/2009 1:55:17 AM

dont bother with this lynch this weekend unless you need a flex play. He will be most productive catching passes since Edwards wont even have time to look down the field.

10/16/2009 1:58:37 AM

Pick 3:
Randy Moss vs Ten
Wes Welker vs Ten
Sims-Walker vs STL
Derrick Mason @ Min (Offensive Coordinator said they are going to target him more)
Manningham @ NO
Devin Hester @ Atl

10/16/2009 3:30:12 AM

I'd go Raaaaaaaandy, Welker, and Manningham. Playing both Pats wouldn't be an ideal situation, but Tenn's pass D has been hurting and I don't like Mason vs the Vikes or MSW because that offense is all out of whack right now. I bet Bill is going to want to get that passing game back on track after what the Broncos did to them last week as well. Hester would be my first alternate of those as he is playing in prime time and you know they want to get him the ball.

McNabb vs Oak

or

Rodgers vs Det

[Edited on October 16, 2009 at 8:56 AM. Reason : asdf]

10/16/2009 8:55:28 AM

^Rodgers, but just by a nose. Detroit is giving up points to QB's, but McNabb and the Eagles have a solid offense. I'm still saying Rodgers though.

I need to ask again because I'm paranoid and have too many "good" RBs:

pick 2 RB's

R. Rice @ MIN
D. Williams @ TB
M. Forte @ ATL
R. Grant vs. DET

10/16/2009 10:37:45 AM

Loaded at WR this week. Pick 4:

Mike Sims-Walker vs StL
TJ Housh vs Ari
Steve Smith (NYG) @ NO
Marques Colston vs NYG
Ochocinco vs Houston
Jeremy Maclin @ Oak

Posting again to get some more input as I have no idea still who to play. I think a case can be made for any of them, they all are either talented or have tasty matchups, or both. Even Maclin I think deserves some consideration, if Desean is locked down the whole time then hes gonna get lots of targets again. I'm personally leaning towards benching Maclin and Colston at the moment.

10/16/2009 10:54:23 AM

^ danny EZ:

Mike Sims-Walker vs StL
Steve Smith (NYG) @ NO
(must plays)

Marques Colston vs NYG
(tough giants d but probably will be down and throwing)
TJ Housh vs Ari
(hasselbeck is back, and while i think burleson will have the better game, housh will get his and ariz last in pass d)
Ochocinco vs Houston
(good matchup here)

I would say not to play colston just bc you never know what to expect vs the giants

10/16/2009 11:11:31 AM

Haha thanks Joey. Yeah its one of those situations where I probably can't really go wrong. Though I have a feeling one of my bench WR's will end up going off I'm sure the others will do enough for me to win regardless of who I start.

How about Willie Parker or Leon Washington? FWP has practiced and they've said he will be the starter but who knows.

10/16/2009 11:25:54 AM

lol ill ask this one anyway

Rivers or Orton?

both teams have about the same passing defense as of now, but im thinking rivers by default

10/16/2009 11:51:39 AM

I actually also have FWP so im keeping close tabs on the situation haha, i dunno im going to have to start jamal lewis v balt (ew) or start FWP.. right now i have willie on my bench though.

Guess who im playing? Nick! he lives in cali now though but still haha

Question: who to start Brett Favre vs BALT or Jay CUTTA vs ATL?

10/16/2009 11:58:51 AM

Nick lives in Cali now? Jesus, I've been out of touch with you guys forever. And I'd play Favre probably.

10/16/2009 12:11:30 PM

Quick 2 fantasy questions:

Who do I start at my flex position?

T.O vs Jets
Marshawn Lynch vs Jets
Donnie Avery vs Jags

Tight end?
(Witten is on bye this week)
Dustin Keller vs Bills
Tony Scheffler vs Chargers.

Thanks in advance.
