pretty tough call, but i like jennings there

11/14/2007 10:32:12 AM

Pick 3:

Justin Fargas @ MIN, Kevin Curtis vs. MIA, Joey Galloway @ ATL, Ike Hilliard @ ATL, Maurice Morris/Shaun Alexander vs. CHI

11/14/2007 10:52:57 AM

^^Yeah, he's been a beast with Favre. I'm favoring him or Ryan Grant.

11/14/2007 10:57:13 AM

^^
Curtis
Galloway
Morris/Alexander

minnesota's run defense has been good all season and after giving up 100+ yards and a TD to Ryan Grant last week, I dont see them giving up much this week to Fargas

11/14/2007 12:32:33 PM

Take a chance on Bryan Fletcher (Indy TE) over Scheffler, Pope or Jeff King?

I've been going with Scheffler of Denver, but he's just not producing. Fletcher could get a cheap TD or two for the Colts since Dallas Clark suffered a concussion.


Warrick Dunn vs TB
J. Lew vs BALT
Lynch vs NE


Which one should start?

11/14/2007 5:35:05 PM

^ Dunn. Norwood will still be inactive. + carries for warrick

HELP!!!


ROMO vs. Wash

or

McNabb vs. Miami?

11/14/2007 5:40:55 PM

I'd go with Romo. Philly will probably run the ball all day.

11/14/2007 6:55:10 PM

Start 3:
Chad Johnson
Joey Galloway
Brandon Marshall
James Jones
Calvin Johnson

Right now, I have the Johnson's and Galloway slated to start. But Jones vs Carolina and Galloway vs the Falcons are tempting.

11/14/2007 6:56:03 PM

which defense should i play on Sunday?

Green Bay or Philadelphia?

I normally play Green Bay, since they're they best points producer...but they're playing Carolina on Sunday who are decent and the Eagles are playing Miami who appears to be the worst team in the friggin NFL.

Who should I play?

11/15/2007 1:04:11 AM

Green Bay's, no question.

Yes, Carolina may be slightly better than Miami, but Green Bay's Defense is leaps and bounds ahead of Philly's.

THe Panthers will get down early, and be forced to throw right into the strength of GB's Defense, the pass rush and the corners.

Start Green Bay.

11/15/2007 8:43:07 AM

Should I even start S Smith anymore? Only option I have otherwise is Driver and possibly Fitzgerald by tomorrow.

11/15/2007 9:45:44 AM

I find it interesting that this thread seems to be almost all WSIS. There's not a whole lot of real information or general discussion about guys to go after and when players will peak, etc., it just seems to be constant lists of players with someone going, "Who's the best option?"

Just a thought. Not saying the thread is bad, by any means, just hoping it could diversify some.

11/15/2007 10:21:02 AM

How about this trade:

I give up Addai

I get Selvin Young, Travis Henry, and Torry Holt

I personally like the trade so long as Young and Henry don't end up splitting carries... ?

11/15/2007 10:38:57 AM

In my opinion you never give up marquee players for a string of mediocre players.

11/15/2007 10:51:10 AM

Well the say I see it, Torry Holt has turned back into a low end #1 WR, so long as he stays healthy. And with Young/Henry I'm getting the starting RB for Denver's always solid running game. The TD's haven't been there...but Young/Henry have 911 rushing yards combined, to Addai's 760

11/15/2007 10:54:06 AM

^ummm, but you would have to start both to get the 911 yards.

With Addai you only have to start one.

DO NOT MAKE THAT TRADE.

11/15/2007 3:22:34 PM

Should I play P.Riv (playing Jacksonville) or Vince Young (playing denver) this week? San Diego defense or Washington (playing Dallas) defense?

11/15/2007 3:27:35 PM

I didn't make the trade...I traded Ryan Grant for Joey Galloway

point though: They haven't really been splitting carries from what I've seen...so they totalled those yards individually...meaning had it been either one of them playing the whole time, it's not inconceivable that they would have similar numbers

11/15/2007 3:29:32 PM

pick 3:

Kevin Curtis vs. Miami
Devin Hester @ Seattle (we get 1 point per 20 return yards and 6 pts for a return TD - on top of any receiving points he may rack up)
Deion Branch vs. Chicago
Chris Henry vs. Arizona
Brandon Stokley vs. Tenn
Mike Furrey vs. NYG

11/15/2007 8:19:57 PM

curtis, henry, stokely

11/15/2007 8:21:17 PM

santonio holmes
donte stallworth
or reggie brown?

pick one plz

11/15/2007 9:23:26 PM

soooo, ricky williams is coming back. is he gonna jump in front of chatman, or steal carries?

11/15/2007 10:07:58 PM

I doubt it. He's been out since like 2004. That's a long time. We'll see what kind of shape he is in and if he still has the heart to play the game. Also Miami sucks all around so I don't see him being a savior for the team this year.

11/16/2007 9:05:55 AM

he doesn't need to be a savior. he just needs to get 10+ fantasy points a week

11/16/2007 9:13:31 AM

pick one

Nate burleson or Reggie Brown

Marc Bulger or Jeff Garcia

[Edited on November 16, 2007 at 11:16 AM. Reason : h]

11/16/2007 11:16:25 AM

WR: Tough, I say Reggie Brown, I think Brown has about 70 and a TD.

QB: I say go Bulger. I really expect TB to establish the run and ride Graham and Bennett to the win because ATL's pass D is better than their very porous run D. That and last week the Rams O looked to be back in-sync with their skill guys back to 100%. Plus that SF secondary got abused by Hasselback Monday.

11/16/2007 11:25:45 AM

santonio holmes
donte stallworth
or reggie brown?

pick one plz

11/16/2007 11:57:59 AM

I'd go with Holmes

11/16/2007 12:04:38 PM

Yeah rid Holmes while Big Ben is hot.

Everyone with Andre Johnson, are you starting him this week? I am a little skeptical with his injury and Schaubs.

I have Crayton and Cotchery starting right now and Patten and Henry on the bench.

11/16/2007 12:13:09 PM

what do you guys think of this trade:

I would give up:

Peyton Manning
Kevin Curtis (or Chris Henry)

I would get:

Marc Bulger
Roy Williams

[Edited on November 16, 2007 at 12:18 PM. Reason : asdf]

11/16/2007 12:17:38 PM

eeeesh, i don't like that one for you, DROD. Peyton is still Peyton, regardless of a poor game. He'll produce better results. The colts will bounce back big time. Bulger is still a little banged up, and even though Steven Jackson is back playing like he can, the O-line gives neither of them the protection that I'd bet on to make it through the end of the year without getting hurt again.

Roy Williams is streaky at best. Some weeks he'll win games, some weeks he'll lose them for you. Kevin Curtis seems to be a bit more reliable, and he's got an arguably more reliable quarterback throwing him the ball.


i wouldn't make that trade.

11/16/2007 12:52:00 PM

yeah i dont like that trade either...keep Peyton

Quote :

"Everyone with Andre Johnson, are you starting him this week?"

I'm starting him...him and Ocho...on the bench I have Marshall and Bowe...I think Andre will be fine (fingers crossed!)

11/16/2007 1:19:18 PM

I need to drop a guy to pick up a K for this week, and someone dropped Reggie Brown so I'm going to try and grab him as well...which 2 of these guys should I drop:

Ike Hilliard
Jerious Norwood
Mark Clayton
Ladell Betts

I think Norwood goes for sure, and I REALLY want to drop Betts b/c Portis has been pretty damn healthy all year (I have him)...but I just can't shake the thought of Portis breaking every bone in his body the second I drop Betts. Between Hilliard and Clayton is tough...I think we might have seen Clayton turn the corner last week and will finally start playing up to the potential everyone has been waiting for. Hilliard is nothing special, but he has actually been fairly consistent since week 4. Also I could just not pick up Brown, but he's basically had 4 solid games in a row, and could end up taking over for Curtis as the #1 (who I also have)

11/16/2007 1:19:25 PM

probably Norwood and Betts...just be ready to grab Betts back if Portis does go down

11/16/2007 1:23:24 PM

Yeah Betts has been basically phased out of that offense, but at 30+ carries a game, Portis can only last so long.

And yeah I'm starting Andre Johnson this week, he had an extra week to get himself 100% so I expect he'll be back out there and effective. And I'm starting him over Donte Stallworth, David Patten, and Calvin Johnson.

11/16/2007 1:39:26 PM

I was playing Ocho and Santonio at my WR spots while Andre was hurt...but last week I traded Santonio for Favre so now I have to go with Andre

11/16/2007 1:42:08 PM

Who should I take out in favor of Johnson, Crayton or Cotchery?

Crayton is so up and down but Cotch is playing the Steelers.

11/16/2007 1:43:51 PM

PHILADELPHIA -- Halfback Brian Westbrook missed practice for the second straight day with a knee injury and is questionable for the Eagles' game against Miami on Sunday.

he'll probably play but i hope not cause i'm playing against him!

11/16/2007 2:54:06 PM

I think one way to look at it is that the Cowboys' passing is great right now, and they are going against a Skins team that isn't so hot on the defensive side of things lately. The Steelers have a great D, and while the Jets will probably be playing catchup, and thus Cotch is a good option, the Steelers have been known to straight up shut teams down. They especially keep them out of the endzone, and that's where your real points will come.

I'd go with Crayton just because he has the highest potential, and the Skins will probably be keeping their top cover guys on TO, which may free up other options. Also, I don't like Witten as much lately to take away receptions and TDs.

11/16/2007 3:00:37 PM

^^ Westbrook is always on the injured list.

^^^ I have the same dilema as well and I have to play Crayton. I am mad cause I sat him last week and he had a good game and the previous week i started him and he didn't do squat. Hopefully he has a good game this week.

11/16/2007 3:02:27 PM

Remember that getting consistency out of a WR is the difference between a WR1 and a 2 or 3. I mean, there will be those games when one players blows up, but the hard part is being consistent, week in and week out. With Crayton, Kevin Curtis, Ike Hilliard, Joe Jurevicious, Greg Jennings, or others like that, you never know if they are going to go huge or not at all.

11/16/2007 3:06:53 PM

a great time to sell on willis mcgahee. he plays the browns this week and then has a brutal schedule the rest of the way.

I got andre johnson and chester taylor for him today

11/16/2007 3:50:37 PM

^agreed, but for the VAST majority of people, the trade has to be proposed and accepted by today, as Nov. 16th marks the trade deadline in most default leagues.

11/16/2007 4:56:40 PM

good point. i play in custom leagues where the trade deadline is next fri and the following fri


my bad guys

11/16/2007 5:02:45 PM

Hey Guru's....what are your opinions on starting Andre Johnson over Crayton, Cotchery, Henry and Patten?

11/16/2007 5:11:12 PM

only one of those I would consider starting over him is Chris Henry but I'm on the AJ bandwagon this week

11/16/2007 5:16:09 PM

i hate riding bandwangons on players, but i'd like johnson playing only 1 half over the full game of those guys this week.

11/16/2007 6:05:53 PM

my league has no trade deadline.


a guy in my league has marshawn lynch, travis henry, larry johnson, and lamont jordan...


i just offered him Selvin Young for Braylon Edwards. let's pray his desperation pays off.

11/16/2007 6:18:35 PM

Pick one:

Chris Chambers
Chris Henry
Deion Branch

11/16/2007 10:37:08 PM

Jamal Lewis @ BAL

OR

Ryan Grant vs. CAR

11/16/2007 10:39:23 PM
