Rodgers, GB's secondary forces a lot of turnovers and Brees is just gonna be slingin it although I anticipate a lot of checkdowns to get Reggie Bush back in it

So for this upcoming week, my dilemma is at QB.

Roethlisberger vs. New England?
Cassel vs. Pittsburgh?
Matt Ryan vs. Tampa Bay?

Cassel has been hot but Pitt's D is too good. Roethlisberger has been better the past couple of weeks but NE can get to him which has been his undoing this year. Ryan will probably put up solid but unspectacular numbers.

If Light gets suspended I'd be very worried about the pressure on Cassel. Hopefully we'll hear soon whether it will be just a fine or a suspension as this should have a major impact on your decision.

I have my own dilemma this week at RB, pick two:

Jones-Drew @ HOU
Marshawn Lynch vs SF
Thomas Jones vs DEN

 

[NoCreativity]

I too have the RB dilemma. Need to choose 2.

Chris Johnson @ Det - Has not been too good of late, but he is playing the god aweful Lions and could have a big day.
LT Atl - Usually a consistant 10-15 fantasey points regardless of who he plays.
Turner @ SD - Does great against bad teams, bad against good teams. Not sure how he will play on the road against a middle of the pack run defense.

Any suggestions?

I'd go with Lynch and Jones.... my Mom can rush for 100yds against Denver. Buffalo is desperate, and the 49ers suck. Jones-Drew has fragile freddy to contend with...

I'd go with Chris Johnson... Tenn is looking to bounce back... and my grandmother could rush for 100+ yards against Detroit.

I'd also go with Turner... ride the hot hand.

I'd start Turner and Johnson

DET cures all ills, and Turner has been good to me. LT is good for 10-11 pts each game but hasn't exploded yet (except for that damn game against NO).


My problem is that I have LT, Turner, and White

Turner is going to start, but should I start White or LT? LT is good for 10-15 pts guaranteed, White can explode, esp. against detroit, but is he going to get the playing time?

And what the fuck is going on with PHI? I have both Curtis and Jackson.

gonna have to disagree with the 49ers suck, they are a different team now and can shut down the run, i would rather go with jones-drew than lynch

Help! Who do I start this week?

Everything looks good might sub Hightower for Leon Washington however Eagles have a stingy run D and Hightower's projection is based on vulturing goal line situations (which will probably be rare), it's gonna be a tossup for Walter vs Welker, I'd take my chances with Welker playing at home,

btw nice QB

Yeah but you're biased

 

[Doboji]

I love looking back at the season and seeing where I screwed up royally and where I did the right thing at the right time...

My draft:
Rd1: Joseph Addai
Rd2: Marques Colston
Rd3: Plax Burress
Rd4: Thomas Jones
Rd5: Derek Anderson
Rd6: Marvin Harrison
Rd7: Ricky Williams
Rd8: Jay Cutler
Rd9: Ahman Green
Rd10: Bernard Berrian
Rd11: Buc's D
Rd12: Greg Olson
Rd13: Rhodes
Rd14: Some Kicker

I give myself like a D... Rds 1-3 were total busts... I redeemed myself a bit with Rds 4 and 8... but really pretty shitty draft in retrospect.

Waiver wire moves of note:
Week 2 - Picked up the Ravens dropped the Bucs (I think this worked out well for me)
Week 3 - Picked up Steve Slaton (maybe my best Waiver move this year)
Week 3 - Dropped Berrian (relatively small oops)
Week 4 - Picked up Owen Daniels (has been my main TE ever since)
Week 5 - Picked up DeAngelo Williams (saw him as being my emergency back, with low expectations... man did that work out well)
Week 9 - Picked up Lance Moore (during his bye week, I actually played short a WR that week and lost in order to get Moore, so far looks like the right move)

I give myself an A+... I picked up 2 starting RBs, 1 starting TE, and 1 starting WR, only blew a mediocre WR and a Defense I probably could have traded off for an upgrade somewhere.

Trades:
I gave: Addai and Josh Morgan
for: Calvin Johnson and Chad Johnson
I feel like this was a fanastic trade for me in the end... Calvin + Moore have solidified my WRs, and I still have 3 solid RBs in Slaton, Williams, and T Jones.

I give myself an A here too... hard enough to get a trade to happen in the first place.... but one that pays out.. woooot

 

[Ricemarine]

Week 13!!!

Choose 2 RB's
Chris Johnson vs DET
Marion Barber vs SEA
DeAngelo Williams vs GB
Steve Slaton vs JAC

I'm worried since C. Johnson is having a rough time and hit the rookie wall pretty hard. Barber is bouncing back and Williams is on a hot streak right now, so I don't know.

well they've shut down the run game 3 weeks in a row but got torched in the passing game so its not so much a bias as it is...fact

Chris Johnson is a must, and GB has the 28th ranked run defense with Nick Barnett out for the season however DeAngelo Williams splits time with Jonathon Stewart so that's something to consider...Given these options I'd go with Johnson and Barber (doesn't really split the time, and is the best 4th quarter RB and seeing as to how the cowboys will probably have a big lead they will just keep handing it off)

Hmm.. The thing is Stewart got injured again and so he's wearing a boot right now. Thus, he might be losing more carries to Williams. All the other sources put Barber a few ranks higher than Chris Johnson, so I'm not sure lol. How bad is Chris Johnson's rookie wall...

Uhh not bad at all...Along with Matt Forte one of the best rookie's this year and I'm just thinking that the Det/Ten game is gonna be like the Det/KC game a couple weeks back when they rushed for like 300+ yds on KC

 

[DnetMHZ]

Who would you start this week, Donovan McNabb or Jason Campbell?

You know, it would help if you posted who and where they were playing.

NYG @ Washington

Arizona @ Phila.

I like Campbell over McNabb in general, but I dunno about starting any QB against the gints, so I think I'd go with McNabb.

Ewww. Who's left on your waiver wire at QB?

Our league starts 2 QB's so there isn't really anyone available.
I'm starting Cassell in the other spot. He got me 60 points last week

 

[Mellman]

hmmm in a bit of a bind this week, need some advice on who to play. here's my roster and the spots i'm questioning

FIELD:
QB Brees @ TB
WR Jerico Cotchery - DEN
WR Kevin Walter - JAC
RB Maurice Jones-Drew @ HOU
TE Bo Scaife @ DET
W/R Michael Turner @ SD
W/R ???????
K Stephen Gostkowski - Pit
D NYJ - Den


BENCH:

Donnie Avery - MIA
Antwaan Randle El - NYG
Eli Manning @ WAS
Justin Fargas - KC
Hank Baskett - ARI
Deion Branch @ DAL
GB - CAR

Been playing avery and paid off to some respects...however last week it cost me a W against the top ranked team in my league. (that and the stupid Saints pulling brees for the 4th quarter..needed 1 more completion)

Thinking of putting in Fargas in my final W/R spot he has been pretty useless all season, but the same can be said for the rest of my bench in that regard. Thoughts?

 

[Ns1]

Guys...

Have 3 pick 2

LT, Turner, White


I'm sayin LT and Turner, but White is playing against DET!

 

[TangoJuliet]

Ok guys who do you think is the better start

Bowe vs. Oak
or
R.Grant vs. Car

I read somewhere that Oak hasnt allowed many points to WRs tbis season and recently S.Smith (Car) only had 1 catch for 9 yards vs. Oak.
I picked Bowe over Grant a couple weeks ago and got burned - hope it doesnt happen again. I am leaning towards Grant though.

Oh and which D do I start NE vs Pit or GB vs. Car?

Well...Smith has been bad b/c Delhomme has been bad. In one of his past games (3 games ago?) he only threw for 79 yards.
