All things Fantasy Football ***OFFICAL THREAD***

[spacejamz]

[dbk]

I heard Grant got a full week of practice and is ready to go.

They aren't playing this week, so treat it like a bye week.

 

[meltdown75]

I have a couple of questions...

I have a choice between Big Ben and FavRE today... who would you start?

Also, I took out Santonio Holmes in favour of Hank Baskett this week... mistake?

Also wondering if I should put DeAngelo Williams or Fred Taylor in for Jerious Norwood?

this is my lineup:

QB Roethlisberger @Cle
WR Burress @Stl
WR Harrison @Min
WR Baskett @Dal
RB LT @Den
RB Jerious Norwood @TB
TE Scaife @Cin
Flex: Crayton vsPhi

BN: WR Santonio Holmes @Cle
BN RB Fred Taylor vsBuf
BN RB DeAngelo Williams vs.Chi
BN QB FavRE vs.NE
BN WR Jabar Gaffney (Questionable) @NJY
BN RB Le'Ron McClain (probable) @Hou (Postponed)

 

[idiotekniQues]

why would you take out santonio for hank baskett? that seems just silly. philly is playing dallas and pitt is playing cleveland, that is a no-brainer.

also i would probably take parker for forte. forte has an injury already and parker is a proven veteran.

Norwood is a backup for Michael Turner, who should get like 75% of the carries. Right now Deangelo Williams is the #1 in Carolina, you should start him over Norwood.

Edit: also, like the above poster said, play Holmes. You would be crazy to sit him.

 

[meltdown75]

Thanks guys. I put in Williams and Holmes. :beer:

Aaron rodgers or mcnabb this week? Or Kurt Warner? TIA.

Hopefully Warner.

I couldn't go wrong with receivers today.
Boldin - 140 yards, 3 TD's
Jennings - 160 yards
Calvin Johnson - 130 yards, 2 TD's

And on the bench I had Santana Moss - 160 yards, 1 TD

:Q

I blew the call on Larry Johnson though. Played him and sat Earnest Graham. Whoops. Same with Eli vs Brees. D'oh.

Brilliant week otherwise.

I went with Rodgers. Still made a good call with it. I've more than doubled my opponents points with TO still to play for me. Good day for me. AP and Chris Johnson at RB (Had McFadden on the bench [huge day for him]). Fitzgerald at WR, Longwell as K, NE defense. Had to use a 3rd string TE as Dallas Clark was out, and Owen Daniels' game was cancelled.

Tough luck you had on the E. Graham. And the Eli thing is hit or miss; he has never been one for huge fantasy numbers.

And while we're on the FF subject, I must say that the CBS sportsline sucks ass. HAvnt been able to get the live scoring to load at all in the last 6 hours.

Well Yahoo wont give you any points until midnight (or tomorrow?) unless you fork over $10. Blech

I bought the $10 stat tracker from Yahoo, and actually it isn't working so hot tonight, it was working great all afternoon. So it's not just CBS sportsline...

Well, off the top of my head I can tell that you beat me this week in the free league . Boldin, Chambers, and Graham will have scored more than my whole team.

I was talking about CBS, because for my bigger money league at work, the commissioner chose CBS sportsline, and we all kicked in an extra 5-10 bucks for all the bells and whistles. Pisses me off when a service you pay for does not work. Oh well.

I'm considering it. Depends on how well I do this week, and how quickly other managers jump on free agents/waivers.

Its so weird how the whole thing works. I made a few bad calls benching people, but others scored monstrous points.

Yeap; it's what makes it fun and heartbreaking all at the same time. The only drawback is when your good fantasy players are playing your favorite team.

How long should I let Palmer continue to tie up one of my roster spots???

not that it would have mattered but,

Grant got my 2 pts and Lendale scored 11 on the bench...

my team sucked it today...

highlights
adrian p w/ 18 points and plaxico w/ 14 points

lowlights:
brees - 10 pts (eli had 28 on my bench)
grant - 2pts
cotchery - 2 pts
gates - 6 pts
vinatieiri - 4 pts
chiefs def - 6 pts (start w/ 20 pts)

62 total point

different league than the Carson post above this one...I have Eli as my other QB in that league as well and he got me 29 pts

did pretty good in this league:

Good:
Eli - 29 pts
Lee Evans - 11 pts
Clinton Portis - 23 pts
Chris Perry - 14 pts
S Gostkowski - 18 pts
Tampa Def - 12 pts

Not so Good:
Marvin Harrison - 2pts
LT - 5 pts

still have Patrick Crayton tomorrow...(Receivers got 1 pt per rec plus yardage/TDs - the dude who had Brandon Marshall got 45 points since he had 18 catches, 166 yds and a TD today)

 

[oddyager]

I am so angry right now with my Defenses its not even funny. I picked Seattle's D against SF thinking Buffalo was a fluke and I didn't really believe Nolan can get his offense together. Thank God O'Sullivan was sacked at least a couple of times but come on, 33 points? Now I'm not even sure if I should start them against St Louis. As crappy as they have been this season they still have Holt and Jackson and I'm afraid.

At least you didn't bench McFadden for DeAngelo Williams and lose by 14.

don;t worry man...my picks sucked beyond belief. I did the same thing. I sat Eli, played Delhomme instead. STupid me. I started Harrison (not any good last night) and Maroney. I can only hope that westbrook has an awesome game and that the Dallas defense sacks like crazy. Seeing as how they are opponents this week, it really does not help me. I need to learn to plan better. Make matters worse....I had no idea the housten game was postponed. That is 0 points right their for one WR. I think I lost the game this week, no doubt.

 

[mzinz165]

I started Harrison over Gonzales for Indy in week 2 and lost because of it (Gonzales had like 20 pts while Harrison got 1).

Should I start Harrison or Gonzales in week 3?

Edit: It didn't help that Vernon Davis got me 0 points, either. What a fucking bum.

 

[Gibson486]

Looking ahead to next week (I am down 20 pts to my oppnent....he is starting Romo...there is no way I am winning...I only got 30 pts this week, as opposed to my 94 pts last week)....who has a worse defense...the Rams or the Bengals.....

I am thinking about dropping Hasselbeck, starting Manning (the little one) and picking up branch (I hope he is better after week 4.)
