^^^Joey - and other FWP owners - apparently mendenhall has flu like symptons, could be good news.

Quote :

"PITTSBURGH (AP)—Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall(notes) has missed practice with flu-like symptoms, allowing Willie Parker(notes) to get more carries with the starters as he returns from a two-week layoff with a toe injury. Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians says whether Mendenhall or Parker will get the majority of the carries Sunday against Cleveland likely won’t be decided until game time. Mendenhall, a first-round draft pick last year, ran for 165 yards against San Diego and 77 against Detroit after Parker injured his left big toe Sept. 27 against Cincinnati. The Steelers are hopeful Mendenhall can practice Friday."

PPR league: Cadillac or Reggie Bush?

Free agents are: Michael Bush, McCoy, Fargas, Mike Bell, Taylor, Larry Johnson

10/16/2009 1:09:04 PM

I have a good feeling about McCoy....yet I can't even pull the trigger myself to put him in.

10/16/2009 1:10:27 PM

weird league here but i start 2 QBs, so... pick 2

Hasselbeck (Ari)
Rivers (Den)
Culter (@Atl)
Garrard (StL)

10/16/2009 2:10:40 PM

Rivers no questions asked

He will put up some nice numbers against Denver and hand them their first loss

Hasselbeck because that game will be a shootout with neither team having a decent run game


So I have Glen Coffee and rumors are that he is getting benched after the bye week because of Gore coming back

So I have to pick up a replacement and the following RBs are available still


Buckhalter
Jamal Lewis
Cadillac Williams
Chester Taylor
Jerome Harrison


Who should I pick up and why?

10/16/2009 2:19:18 PM

^ none of those look good

Buckhalter won't get many carries because of Knowshon plus he's hurt
Lewis/Harrison - no one knows who will be the feature back in this offense
Cadillac - plays for TB, too many RBs, he will have huge weeks and then 0 point weeks
Taylor - AP is in the way, flex option for good matchup weeks

I'd go with Lewis, looks like he's gonna win the RB battle in Cle

10/16/2009 2:27:18 PM

Buckhalter is the starter according to Denver's depth chart and according to his player update, he is almost back to 100%.

Thu, Oct 15

Buckhalter (ankle) participated fully in Thursday's practice, NFL.com reports.

Recommendation: Buckhalter looks like a good bet to play Monday night against the Chargers, though we'll wait until Saturday's injury report is released before making any proclamations. He'll cut into Knowshon Moreno's carries to some extent, but the Broncos will probably be hesitant to hand him a big workload in his first game back.

[Edited on October 16, 2009 at 5:07 PM. Reason : I copied the first page of open RBs]

10/16/2009 5:06:26 PM

Brett Farve vs Bal

or

Drew Brees vs Giants

I am thinking Brees simply because they have a better chance of winning the game.

10/16/2009 5:09:47 PM

good call, that 10 point bonus you get for a win is the difference here

10/16/2009 5:22:09 PM

die

10/16/2009 5:58:38 PM

no seriously, it was sound logic on your part, go with your instincts

10/16/2009 5:59:32 PM

dunno if it's been posted but it's news to me that Mendenhall is said to be expected to start, not parker

10/16/2009 7:26:17 PM

pierre thomas
Darren Sproles
Mendenhall
Brandon Jacobs
Ray Rice
Marshawn Lynch

I need to start 3.

I'd like to trade a couple of these guys for a better TE or something

10/16/2009 9:08:51 PM

pick 3:

mjd vs STL
jacobs vs NO
ryan grant vs DET
pierre thomas vs NYG

10/16/2009 10:37:20 PM

^^thomas, jacobs, lynch

^mjd, jacobs, grant (easy?)



TIM HIGHTOWER v. Sea

OR

W. PARKER @ Cle

OR

Caddy Williams v. Car

??????????????????????

[Edited on October 17, 2009 at 10:27 AM. Reason : caddy]

10/17/2009 10:24:43 AM

espn's fantasy news says mendenhall is getting the start

10/17/2009 10:27:15 AM

Was just offered:

Jermichael Finley and Mike Wallace

In return I send:

Terrell Owens


I only have one player on bye this week (Witten), so a decent replacement TE would be nice. And Owens hasn't really materialized for me. My other WRs are Holmes, Bryant, Edwards, and Bennett.

Should I pull off this trade??

10/17/2009 11:10:19 AM

hahaha a guy who hates TO finally dropped him in our league.


thats funny

10/18/2009 12:43:47 AM

cant believe no one's posted in here till now this morning

10/18/2009 11:20:49 AM

owen daniels vs cincy or kellen winslow vs carolina?

10/18/2009 11:30:56 AM

Pick 2 RBs

LT v den (good D, fading)
marshawn v jets (good D?)
lesean vs oak (people expecting lots of garbage time)

10/18/2009 11:32:13 AM

^^ Kellen Winslow will be guarded by Thomas Davis, who does a hell of a job on opposing TEs.

^The Jets run defense hasn't really been great this year, so I would start Marshawn. McCoy would be a better play than LT, who hasn't shown he can return to his past form.

10/18/2009 11:43:55 AM

Who to play at my flex position this week:

Donnie Avery v Jax
or
Marshawn Lynch v NYJ

10/18/2009 11:45:29 AM

I guess Lynch but both of those picks make me cringe

Now that Megatron is ruled out for today I am stuck playing a backup wideout

Maclin vs Oak

or

Nicks vs NO

any suggestions?

"cant believe no one's posted in here till now this morning"

doesn't surprise me... I posted last week around 10 about something and I never got a response on it

and I like Lynch there^^- he will get some drop down passes and I think he should be able to pull at least 75yds on the ground. Avery however is hit or miss... could be great, could be shit

^Maclin- all the way... I knew mcnabb liked him in practice, but he made it blatantly obvious last week. Eli has too many targets and he is gonna be using them. I think maclin gives you a better chance

not sure if this is still live, but i logged into it around 10 this morning and the sporting news guys will answer your questions within a few minutes

10/18/2009 12:15:04 PM

Rivers vs. Denver or McNabb vs. Oakland? (thinking McNabb, especially after his performance last week)

Willie Parker or Ladanian Tomlinson or Fred Jackson? (pick one, I'm decimated by byes this week)

[Edited on October 18, 2009 at 12:23 PM. Reason : ]

10/18/2009 12:23:36 PM

Pick 2: AP, Turner, Benson. PPR League

the match up tells me to take out AP for Benson... but can I take out AP?

10/18/2009 12:25:58 PM

Jermichael Finely vs. Lions or Chris Cooley vs. Chiefs?

10/18/2009 12:28:33 PM

I would do Cooley. KC's corners are actually not bad, so they might hae to dump it off to Cooley if they are covered

10/18/2009 12:31:36 PM

you never take out AP


ive been killing myself on this:

do i start driver on my flex or sammy morris(with the weather being really shitty in NE) it is a ppr league.

reggie wayne is on bye for me

[Edited on October 18, 2009 at 12:37 PM. Reason : ^they've come out saying they're gonna be using cooley as an extra blocker most the time now]

sant holmes vs clevland

10/18/2009 12:50:52 PM

at least answer someone if you are going to ask for something you greedy fucks

10/18/2009 1:02:14 PM

are you the same one that says that every week?

why do you want people asking for advice to GIVE you advice?

10/18/2009 1:05:31 PM

good lord my team is sucking dick so far

10/18/2009 1:48:59 PM

BRANDON JACOBS FUCKING BLOWS A HUGE COCK THIS YEAR

10/18/2009 2:23:03 PM

should I start LT or trade him for Marshawn Lynch before the Bills game? Lynch was out the first three games on suspension, got 1 point in game 4, and like 11 last game. LT hasn't done shit but I was hoping he'd breakout sooner or later.

who's the better long/short run choice?

10/18/2009 2:41:55 PM

i don't know who sucks worse, jacobs or grant. i've got them both and grant can't even muster a TD against the fucking lions.

so far between flacco, grant, jacobs, and steve smith (nyg), i've got 16 points. i'm down like 10 points with no one left to play and the other guy still has half his team going this afternoon

oh, and i've got andre johnson and owen daniels against matt schaub, so anything they get is negated

[Edited on October 18, 2009 at 3:15 PM. Reason : .]

10/18/2009 3:13:22 PM

lol, holy shit, i just jumped from 70 points to 107 in like 5 minutes. thanks mjd and flacco


someone quick, buffalo defense vs jets or denver's vs san diego

[Edited on October 18, 2009 at 4:00 PM. Reason : .]

10/18/2009 3:55:24 PM

Losing 42.5 to 140.7

Colston on the bench with 23.6 points. Schaub on the bench with 65.1

Gotta hope Brady does something huge.

10/18/2009 4:11:23 PM

kickin ass in the yahoo league despite Jason suck ass Campbell
ESPN league not so much b/c of Jason suck ass Campbell

10/18/2009 4:25:18 PM

Why would you be starting Jason Campbell in 2 leagues?

[Edited on October 18, 2009 at 4:29 PM. Reason : ]

10/18/2009 4:29:12 PM

There wasnt any other good QBs during the draft

10/18/2009 4:35:49 PM

thanks, Sammy Morris!

10/18/2009 5:05:48 PM

So I had to hope Brady did something ridiculous. Fortunately he responded with a 69.5 point first half performance. Of course the guy I'm playing has Welker so 25.6 of Brady's points were worthless. Fuck! Really regretting benching Colston for Steve Smith right now.

10/18/2009 5:55:43 PM

jesus Brady...i would be going against him this week

10/18/2009 5:57:22 PM

holy fuck my team exploded at 4 pm
