i would start brady he's at home with a healthy randy moss and welker should be healthy...never count out the patriots offense

I hope freaking welker is healthy, since he's killing me on my bench in a ppr league.

I shall henceforth refrain from giving anymore advice, seeing as how I went 0-4 this week. Yep, I lost every single league I played.

At least Slaton put up some decent numbers this week.

well did you lose because you started the wrong lineup or there was no way you could've won regardless of who you would have started? plus it depends on how much you lose by ... so you never know!

Most of my games could have been won or much closer at least with 1 or 2 personnel shifts off the bench. Seriously though, how was I supposed to know that TO wasn't going to catch a single ball, or that Clinton Portis would suck against Detroit? Or better yet, Derrick Mason FINALLY hauling in a TD pass?

The kicker? AP pulling only 90 yards and no TDs, or Drew Brees having the shittiest of shitty days?

I think one or two leagues were just about a loss no matter what. But the big deal this week was lack of output by top fantasy studs.

yeah, tell me about brees ... I got lucky and got the win by 2pts. with brees doing so shitty ... hopefully he can turn it around keep doing what he was doing the first 2 games.

Well, I bombed this week

Frank Gore is injured. I have depth at RB (Ronnie Brown,Marshawn Lynch, Felix Jones, and Hightower). I just picked up Glen Coffee though; I think he'll have big games in week 4 and 5 if Frank Gore doesnt play.

Also, I just dropped Chris Henry (WR) and picked up Heath Miller. My starting TE is Greg Olsen, but he has a bye in week 5.

I picked up Coffee in the beginning after what he did in the preseason ... although it was kinda bad that he didn't do too well yesterday

 

[Crono]

RB starters question, pick 2:

Glen Coffee vs St. Louis Rams
Pierre Thomas vs NY Jets
Steven Jackson vs San Francisco 49ers
Michael Bush vs Houston Texans
Fred Jackson vs Miami Dolphins

I'm leaning toward Coffee and Steven Jackson. I think I need to make a trade or two.

Just curious as to why you're not going with Coffee and Pierre Thomas?

I have similar question ... which 2 RB to start -

Tashard Choice vs Denver
Glen Coffee vs Stl
Thomas Jones vs NO
Derrick Ward vs Was

 

[joesmoke]

which of these two RB's should i start?

Tashard Choice @ Denver

Pierre Thomas v NYJ

 

[joesmoke]

Since my new team hero Brent Celek is on a bye, which of the crumbs of TE should i take?
(These are the points leaders among free agents)


Daniel Fells - Stl @ SF

Jerramy Stevens - TB @ Was

Robert Royal - Cle v Cin

sigh... thanks SD but i but i was looking for something i hadnt thought of

 

[Stojakapimp]

Need some help with a proposed trade.

Somebody want to give me Darren Sproles and Lee Evans in return for Willis McGehee and Wes Welker.

Seems like a fairly even trade, but if I had to choose between McGehee and Sproles, I would probably pick McGehee, especially with the season he is having so far. That said, I do that Tomlinson on my team, so adding Sproles would make for a good handcuff.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance

You're considering a 2nd tier (though good) RB and a receiver on a team that has little to no success throwing outside or long for a goal line back and a PPR receiver that coming back off an injury probably this week? Seriously?

Coffee and Jones

rams defense is horrible and the 49ers love to run the ball
new orleans d is also not the best whereas denver is underrated and ward is not worth starting until something either happens to caddilac or he shows some signs of life.

two good defenses but if any team is capable of breaking through the jet's d it's new orleans. with pt cruiser back in action, they can run and brees has no problem spreading the wealth passing. i take thomas over choice

 

[KK]

Here's my team:
QB Peyton Manning vs. SEA
WR Reggie Wayne vs. SEA
WR Braylon Edwards vs. Cin
WR Kevin Walter vs. Oak
RB Adrian Peterson vs. GB
RB Willie Parker vs. SD
TE Vernon Davis vs. Stl
K Jay Feely vs. NO
DEF Denver vs. Dal

Bench
Kevin Smith vs. Chi
Joe Flacco vs. NE
Devery Henderson vs. NYJ
Fred Taylor vs. Bal
DeSean Jackson(Bye)
Tim Hightower(Bye)

Should I switch out Parker or Edwards?

 

[SunnyD]

Score! I snagged Coffee out from under someone who had Gore... and ironically enough, I was lower on the waiver order!

Yeah, I was leaning toward edwards with the quarterback change going on in cleveland. But I am unsure about willie's toe vs. smith's back.

Bolded choices, highlighted flex plays. Eliminated Kevin Smith and Wes Welker because of injury status, but if either/both are healthy enough to play in their respective games, I would consider playing them.

 

[SunnyD]

Wow Crono, TO over both Kevin Walter and more surprisingly Steve Smith? Really? And Evans too? Expecting to see Buffalo pass a good bit against Miami... especially now that they have not one but two healthy top shelf running backs on the field? I hope someone gets the memo to Dick "Conservative" Juaron!
