last minute decision, pick my 3 WRs, non-ppr league

Desean Jackson @ NYG
Kenny Britt vs. Hou
Anquan Boldin vs. NO
Percy Harvin vs. Chi (we get 1pt per 20 kickoff/punt return yards)

I have the top 3 penciled in right now

also, Matt Forte @ Minn or Jonathan Stewart vs. Ari

and, Ben Watson @ Cincy or Owen Daniels @ Ten

help me....WR3 spot:

I'm starting Roddy and Colston

I need help deciding between Danny A. (return yards are highly rewarded) and Joe Webb (listed as QB/WR)


^ if I were you, I'd hurry up and pick up Kevin Ogletree, Steve Smith (NYG) and Deon Butler

12/19/2010 12:09:12 PM

^^ I'd go with the top 3 WRs as well. Just no telling what Webb will be able to do in his first game. He may fall in love with one of either Rice or Harvin, but it is just too risky when you've got three other solid options.

I'd play Stewart as he matchup is great and he's been playing well.

12/19/2010 12:11:30 PM

^^ I'd definitely play Webb.

12/19/2010 12:12:30 PM

I think you've got it right Drod. I could see Rice having a nice game, but the Vikings are a mess, the Bears defense is strong, and the weather is not favorable. I would start Jackson, Britt, and Boldin.

Garrard (vs Colts), Collins (vs Texans), or Cutler (vs Vikes)????

12/19/2010 12:13:18 PM

Garrard all day

12/19/2010 12:16:12 PM

I'm a little concerned about his health, so I'm going back and forth between him and Collins. I don't want to put my playoff chances on Cutler's shoulders in bad weather even though he has had alot of success against the vikings.

[Edited on December 19, 2010 at 12:18 PM. Reason : :]

12/19/2010 12:18:26 PM

bad weather being the key. plus, he will spend a lot of time on his ass tomorrow. the Bears' O-line sucks balls and the Vikings' halfway decent D-Line will be in Jay's face the entire game.

12/19/2010 12:23:09 PM

a lot of people think Collins is going to have a really good game...


I hope he doesn't, but I could definitely see it happening (guy I'm playin in the semi-finals is starting him over Flacco)

"So I've been riding my receiving corps most of the year and now they are all healthy but they have QB problems. Rodgers is out for Jennings, Tebow is starting for Lloyd, and Cassel is questionable for Bowe. Do I sit any of those for either: J. Best, T. Choice, J. Knox (have to start 2 WR and 1 RB/WR)? I'm kicking myself for trading away most of my depth for S. Jackson. However having a 1-2 of Turner and Jackson isn't too bad. Best available RB/WR FA: Sims-Walker, Gibson, Armstrong, Obomanu, Starks, Brandon Jackson, and D. Brown"

12/19/2010 12:48:17 PM

started Tamme over Marcedes Lewis - nervous about that...


also, which D would you start, Chicago or NE?

12/19/2010 1:31:06 PM

garrard is killing me at the moment. should have went with the gut and started collins. everyone i talked to said garrard. oh well

12/19/2010 2:27:54 PM

desean?

12/19/2010 2:30:36 PM

Thanks guys for telling me to start Schaub over Eli

12/19/2010 2:32:58 PM

wow nice comeback by garrard. was looking bleak there for a minute. Garrard and Mike Williams #1 have come through nicely

12/19/2010 4:16:15 PM

Ok VickSean I still love yall.

12/19/2010 4:25:03 PM

I've played against the guy who has Vick twice this year, first time he goes for 57, this time only for 44 and in all likelihood knocking me out. Thanks Giants D for not showing up the last 7 minutes of the game.

12/19/2010 4:33:34 PM

don't think he played them, he's just mad at them for giving up so many points to vick

12/19/2010 7:57:37 PM

question: will they have point adjustments done by tomorrow evening? It looks like I am going to be going to bed with a .82 lead. My opponent is done after this game (had Green Ellis and Shane Graham), and I can play either Johnny Knox or Sidney Rice tomorrow (have both on my roster and have one WR spot still available to play). If I can be sure I have it won right now, I will probably bench both the other guys (I lost a game before like this because a guy had a fumble on the first play and was hurt). I just don't want to play an empty spot, and then later find out that Owen Daniels had another catch or something to get him ahead. Normally I wouldn't sweat it, but the weather is supposed to be so crappy tomorrow night, and Knox had negative points just last week. UGH!!!


Is there an official stats page i could see? so I can compare that to what is going on with yahoo?

12/19/2010 11:26:03 PM

need a big night from AP tomorrow for work league...

12/20/2010 1:16:22 AM

Need AP to get under 3 points

12/20/2010 1:24:01 AM

^^^ In the exact same boat. I'm up 3 and will win if there are no point adjustments. I can start Knox, Earl Bennett, Joe Webb, or nobody. I don't like the idea of starting nobody in case there are adjustments, but I don't want Joe Webb to log me -5. Who has the least likely chance to shit the bed in a PPR league? Have Knox penciled in. I figure it will be really difficult for a WR to go deep into the negative in a PPR league.

12/20/2010 7:17:13 AM

I needed Welker to get me 4 pts last night to squeak past my opponent into the finals. He finished with 42 yards receiving. I still haven't checked the final scoring because I cannot access sports at work and forgot to check once the game ended. Keeping my fingers crossed.

12/20/2010 8:13:32 AM

overnight yahoo sports point adjustments strike again: my .84 win last night transformed into a .17 loss this morning

12/20/2010 8:24:12 AM

I pulled Floyd out because of the injury, and plugged Boldin in...didn't make much of a difference, haha. At least Jennings managed to get his and Boss made up for not having Gates.

With my team's season coming to an end in the semifinals, I'd like to personally thank Josh Freeman(QB2) and BJE "The Lawfirm"(RB1, haha) for their efforts down the stretch haha.

12/20/2010 8:42:13 AM

i need 13.4 points from Adrian Peterson tonight to get in the championship!!!!!!! anxiety is kicking in.

12/20/2010 9:07:03 AM

^^^^^ play Earl Bennet

12/20/2010 9:28:08 AM

in this weather, I'm gonna be hard pressed to trust anyone. I am still sitting with my .82 lead (no adjustments over the night), and I ran everyone's stats against what is on NFL.com ... now if they are getting their info from the same place, well then I'm screwed, but everything seems to be in order. Would yall play Knox, Rice, or nobody?

12/20/2010 10:00:04 AM

^play Sidney Rice
--
well because of T.O.'s and Malcom Floyd's injuries & Vernon Davis's goose egg. And me being out of town and not able to change my roster (I could have subbed VJax), I lost in 2 leagues this week. But still playing for 3rd place in those two leagues, the other 3 I'm headed to the championship games

12/20/2010 11:21:35 AM

I would play Knox. Last week was a fluke. Losing a fumble and getting < 20 yards receiving might happen once or twice in a player's career. He's been good for 50+ yards most weeks...play him so you have a cushion for any corrections.

12/20/2010 11:36:14 AM

need 15 points from AP. i'm hoping he busts two big ones for TDs

12/20/2010 11:58:30 AM

I'm officially the early 1990s Buffalo Bills of fantasy football.

12/20/2010 12:15:03 PM

headed to championship game in two leagues

also, I need 28 points out of Joe Webb and Matt Forte to move to the semifinals in another league - not feeling very good about that one

12/20/2010 12:21:29 PM

^^^^see, the problem with knox is that earl bennett is quickly becoming a goto guy

and weather really scares me... I don't like any of my choices... playing no one = stat corrections could fuck me (guy I'm playing won first over all for regular season because of stat corrections and no one realized it until the next week). Knox doesn't seem to be the go to guy now and isn't returning much. Rice has Webb, an unproven QB throwing to him. And weather is shitty.

Vick pretty much sealed my championship spot from the day I grabbed him as a FA. I beat the guy I'm up against early in the season, but since then he's dominated every single matchup including our rematch. It'll be tough.

12/20/2010 1:43:19 PM

Down by 8 going into tonight, my opponent has forte left and I have Joe Webb. I think my season is officially over.

Just for the sake of trying, now that Favre has been upgraded to questionable, who has the bigger chance of going off tonight in the 5 inches of expected snow if Favre plays, Rice or Harvin?

12/20/2010 1:57:44 PM

^^ Yea I literally missed grabbing him by MINUTES in my league. I was taking my time and one minute he was there and the next he was gone ha.

What does everyone think of picking up Tebow in my league for next week vs. Houston. I have had Kyle Orton as my starter all season which worked out great until the last few weeks. 2 of my 3 losses in the regular season came in the last 2 weeks with Orton being crappy/hurt and no solid backup. (finished 3rd reg season this year out of 10)

I picked up Flacco for this past weekend and it actually worked out well but I'm looking at Denver vs. Houston next week and considering dropping Tomlinson who I haven't been starting anyway to pick up Tebow. Houston is of course last in the league in passing defense so I feel that Tebow will have a pretty good game regardless of being fairly unproven in the NFL so far. If Tebow doesn't start I'll just pull Orton off my bench.

Thoughts?

12/20/2010 2:53:24 PM

With the Broncos conservative play calling as of late, I wouldn't use any Bronco QB. Next year yeah, look to pick him up in the late rounds as a good QB2

Well look at it this way. It's not like they're RBs, the chances of a WR fumbling are not as great as they are typically in the open, and just because the QB sucks doesn't imply anything. Remember all you need is for Knox or Rice to get ONE catch for 10 yards, just to prevent losing from stat correction. Chances are either of them will get a catch or two before breaking their ankles. If Knox returns at ALL you'll want to steer clear of him as I wouldn't play anyone that has a chance to be a kick returner tonight.

I'm winning by 3 points and have Bears D/ST, but I'm benching them because my league has negative points for D/ST

Bit of a controversy in my league regarding someone playing Joe Webb as a receiver tonight.

Most of us think its fine, but they guy he's playing against is getting all cunty about it.

Sounds like sour grapes to me.

12/20/2010 4:07:21 PM

i remember Colston's rookie year when he had TE eligibility

ridiculous

12/20/2010 4:17:02 PM

Down by 8, opponent has Forte left....so I'm pretty much done.

But just to fill my lineup, assuming Favre plays, best WR for tonight Rice or Harvin?

12/20/2010 4:44:48 PM

^^^You have to take things like that in consideration when you sign up to play at certain websites. His beef should be with Yahoo, as those settings are not 'league' settings.

Just like ESPN sees Woodhead as RB/WR, but NFL.com he's only a WR.

12/20/2010 4:54:57 PM

so apparently Farve is feeling better and wants to play. He will take snaps and start throwing 2 hours before game time. This blows, i was really hoping for Webb to win my game for me.

That being said, do I just suck it up and start Harvin?

12/20/2010 5:25:55 PM

i'm thinking... is it too soon to pick up Plaxico in a dynasty format?

12/20/2010 5:30:28 PM

uh, he's at best a top 50 WR if he comes back in decent shape, it's not even like he was that good to begin with, he was averaging like 5-6 points a game in FF, he's also 33.

[Edited on December 20, 2010 at 5:49 PM. Reason : .]

12/20/2010 5:48:39 PM

I'm up five. and I look like I should win.

will adjustments in ESPN league vary that much?

I have Adrian Peterson for tonight. I'm scared he'll fumble and get me -5

12/20/2010 5:50:53 PM

^X4

I am in the same boat. Webb was going to be my last hope, because in my mind there is no way in my mind that Harvin or Rice make up the 8 pts I am currently behind in addition to whatever Forte scores tonight.

With that being said, I am going down fighting......just have to decide who to take a flier on, Rice or Harvin? Thoughts?

12/20/2010 5:55:25 PM

*BREAKING NEWS* in case anyone has AP

Adrian Peterson is inactive tonight....just announced on Sportscenter
