Any way I accepted the trade, thanks for your input guys

I feel better about the trade then I did at first, I really needed a running back and this guy came through. Forte and Jacobs have been a HUGE mess for me and I am 1-4-1 in this league. Hopefully Turner will help me out and maybe Forte will pick it up

Start one: Austin collie, Johnny Knox or Hakeem Nicks

Nicks against the Cards, for sure.

I have a different opinion and vote Knox. Cincinnati only has one really good CB and he will be on Hester, Knox should get quite a few looks.

The Giants offense simply has too many weapons and its practically a coin flip on who is going to get the most looks, is it going to be Nicks again, who has done pretty well the last two weeks but MM and SS have done poorly because of it. I predict MM and SS get the majority of the looks again and Nicks was just a 2 week wonder. Doesn't mean he won't have good weeks again going forward but its going to be about guessing right.

I think we can all agree not to play Collie. I believe Gonzo will be back this week.

Gonzalez will NOT be back this week. He himself is indicating that it will be at least 1 or even two more weeks before he comes back. Collie is a good play, I think Manning likes him the most out of all the WRs he has available right now.

Knox is a solid play. I don't care what the analysts are saying, he's gotten consistent looks every week. Sure it's more of a tossup with the Bears WRs, but Knox has been putting up numbers every single week, whereas the same can't be said for Bennett or Hester.

Hakeem Nicks is the guy that the Giants want to be out on the field. The were were actually concerned when he went out earlier in the season, but Manningham and Smith filled in quite nicely. I'm pretty sure he'll be on the field plenty and getting looks, especially against the Cards (high scoring game leaves little time to run the ball, though the Giants are definitely going to try, and fail - again).

I say Knox is the most solid and reliable play. Nicks is second, with Collie being the potential sleeper (being able to rape and pillage the Rams, he might just earn the most points).

That is good news for me as Reggie Wayne is still his favorite target, and the #1 performer for me on FF.

Terrell Owens, Josh Morgan, Chris Chambers, Lance Moore, Michael Crabtree

Eeeewwwww....TO & Lance Moore. But all of them are pretty icky.

Here's my dilema:

Pick two RB's:
Benson vs Bears
Jacobs vs Arizona
Jonathan Stewart vs. Buffalo
Lynch vs. Carolina

------

Pick two WR's out of this lot:
Kevin Walter
Mario Manningham
Andre Caldwell
TO

I'd have to go with Benson and Lynch... 0 trust for Jacobs.. Carolina hasn't been stopping the run.

Stewart and Lynch are close though..

I'd go with Mario and Caldwell at WR... Walter has been non existent this season.

 

[Doboji]

I cannot decide who to start at RB.. Steve Slaton vs SF or Laurence Maroney vs Tampa Bay...

I'm so torn. PPR league BTW.

After what atlanta did to SF with turner, I'd go with Slaton

 

[SunnyD]

Alright, Pick 3:
Mendenhall, Slaton, Lynch, Ronnie Brown, Johnathan Stewart.

Gotta go Slaton. Especially in a PPR. I have no faith in Maroney to anything even after his fantasy outburst last week.

Mendenhall, Slaton, Brown....

 

[Crono]

QB question: McNabb or Warner?

 

[lupi]

So they guy I'm playing this week left these messages:

Los Angeles AvengersOctober 21, 10:50 pm
after i beat you i will lead the division!

Los Angeles AvengersOctober 24, 7:03 pm
throw it in da bag this one is over


Right now I have a 30 point lead, he has D. Jackson left and I've got Akers. Wonder what type of reply I should give him now.

 

[dougp]

I just beat my coworker in ATOT #3 by .56 - this has given me the league lead. He was undefeated and just lost by .56 ... ah, the wonders of FF.

 

[sao123]

ok... so this upcoming week (11/1) is my horrid week where half my team is on the bye...
(steelers + cincy)

I need to pick up a backup tight end since heath miller is on a bye.
Visanthe Shiancoe, Jermichael Finley, todd heap, greg olson, or ben watson?

also need a backup RB... thinking of picking up willis mcgahee... or could take Correll Buckhalter or Laurence Maroney (depending on sammy morris injury return)... Cedric Benson is on a bye, and I have deangelo williams as RB#2. I also have brandon jacobs, who as of late has really sucked, except for a spurt tonight, but they play philly next week.

im not happy with kurt warners performance so far as my backup, but hell have to play as both carson palmer and rothlisberger are on the bye, and theres only garbage available.

finally at WR this week I must start:
TJ Housh + Johnny Knox + Steve smith, as chad ocho is also on the bye. theres not muc in the F/A pool except Derek Mason and maybe Lee Evans... but neither buffalo or baltimore are really that hot in the passing game right now.

I need to be mindful of a backup kicker for week 9 when ryan longwell(min) will be on bye

 

[SunnyD]

I'm not liking ESPN's "live" scoring thing. Seems like every time I log in, even when there's no games being played, the score changes.

TE- pick up shiancoe, amazed he's on waivers.
rb- how is any of those guys still on waivers? maroney is on bye week 8 also. i'd start jacobs instead of either buck or mcgahee
qb- warner makes an excellent bye filler
wr- mason over knox.

kicker woes- who cares. drop longwell or other sundry bye filler and pick up whomever you think is going to get the most points. kickers are as a whole unreliable for the most part.

Funny, I received the same (latter) message back on the 20th. Ironically, scoring closed last night, I won 140-136 going into the night with a 140-125 lead and just his kicker left.

 

[gorcorps]

Tony Gonzales against New Orleans or Vernon Davis against Indy?

 

[Ns1]

Call me the Detroit Lions of ATOT cuz I'm 1-6 and going strong!

Interesting, I have the same decision. I'll let you know who I go with so you which one to stay far away from.
