miles austin vs skins
roy williams vs skins
donnie avery vs cardinals (30th ranked pass defense)
tj housh

help me pick 3.

I'm leaning towards austin, williams, and TJ for the "safe" pick, but i'm debating starting avery over one of the cowboys because the cardinal d is a bit shaky.

IF you were going to get rid of a cowboy get rid of Williams. Austin is great at finding the end zone once he gets the ball. Austin, Avery and TJ would be my picks.

I have Cedric Benson on my team and it looks like he isn't going to play in week 11. On my bench I have

Jason Snelling @NYG
Beanie Wells @Stl
Michael Bush vs Cin

Right now I am leaning towards Wells. He had an incrediable game last week and has contined to show he can be better than Hightower. He will still play as backup or at best sharing RB roll with Hightower.

Snealling will start but is going against a tough Defense. I bet he will get more touches then Wells, but less yards. He might score more TDs though, thus a better Fanrasy play.

I can't see any reason to play bush over t
he other two.
What do you guys think?

Wells hands down. He should at least get a TD this weekend

 

[NoCreativity]

Glad I decided to go with Ricky instead of waiting to see if Benson would play. 3 touchdowns! Woohoo! Of course that means AP will go down in the first quater with injury before ever touching the ball, just to even things out for me.

 

[chin311]

Agreed, ricky pulled it out, i played him as well

 

[murphy55d]

For my flex spot:

Vernon Davis @ Green Bay ( I also have Celek at TE in my starting spot)
Derrick Mason vs Indy
Ryan Moats vs Tennessee

should mention, I do get points per reception.

Davis or Mason, in that order. Moats might not even start (Speculation is that Slaton will be back starting for Houston. Hell, if every single one of your RBs like to fumble the ball, might as well go with the one that plays the best!).

 

[sash1]

i would just like to thank ronnie brown for getting hurt. 31 fantasy points from ricky williams

 

[spacejamz]

Any guesses on how long Turner will be out? only two weeks of regular season left plus two weeks of playoffs in my league. Is he worth tying down a roster spot to play effectively in this time span?

 

[lupi]

Anyone know how the yahoo survivor thing works? I won the league last week by being the final team left, but I see no changes as far as you won messages or what not; just the same make your weekly pick stuff.

 

[TangoJuliet]

Need help with my week 12 starting QB situation

Choose from:

Romo vs. Oak
or
Hasselbeck vs. STL

Romo has been horrible that past 2 games and OAK has a pretty good pass defense. Hasselbeck has had 2 so-so games after beating up on DET pretty bad. STL is horrible and with Bulger out it may be a long day for them.

 

[SunnyD]

Kick ass! Went 4-0 this week!

2 to 3 weeks. High ankle sprain.

NOT Tony Homo. Period. Sure, he may gun a great game, but then he sucks horribly for 3 games.

 

[Ns1]

lol making my comeback on the yahoo league!


ahahahhahaa

 

[Crono]

Lost again in a PPR league I'm in. This league is the bane of my FF existence. I'm 4th of 10 in 2 leagues, 1st of 12 in another, and 9th of 12 in this one. So any and all advice will be greatly appreciated. Cookies all around if I win this week

I'm in the process of dropping Walter and trying to add another RB or WR in his place, but otherwise the roster will pretty much stay the same as below.
Who do I start for my RB and WR positions this week?

I'd need to see your rosters to have any idea. I'm sure they're posted in here somewhere, but I'm too lazy to look.

Sammy Morris
Jerious Norwood
Kenny Britt

Thanks!

To be honest, I have a vested interest in Romo doing well. I have Miles Austin in all four of the leagues I play in. But in all honesty, Romo might just have a great day, or not. I think he's due for one this week after taking the last couple of weeks "off". But if it were me, and I had any other option at QB, I'd be using it.

 

[TangoJuliet]

Don't help TangoJuliet. He is an evil, evil man

hey!! sure my team is loaded but I've lost the last 2.

I keep going back and forth with Tony Homo. On one hand I can see him having a great Thanksgiving game vs the Raiders and then I can also see him falling apart again in front of America.

 

[KK]

Favre or McNabb? Favre up against chicago, mcnabb against the skins. Which one?

Favre. Completing an average of like 80% of his passes this year and has what, I think 3 ints on the season? He has a monster set of receiving hands and the best back in the league to take the pressure off him.

McNabb might wow you with another 400 yard game, but 400 yards of fantasy points is pretty worthless without a few TD's to back it up. Then again, McNabb might also have a bum game, which has been proven to be possible.

Alrighty, back to you Crono. Bradshaw is out this week, so it'll be Jamaal Charles and..... Tim Hightower. If, and signs are pointing away from it as of today, IF Benson doesn't get the start, then run with Bernard Scott. If Norwood is active, keep an eye on the lineup for Atlanta. I'm not sure at this point he'll take over for Snelling, but by default he's higher in the pecking order. If he's active, then he's a decent flex play.

As far as WR's go... Burleson and Hester, obviously. If the RB play doesn't pan out for the flex spot, plug Britt in there.

 

[endervalentine]

Any thoughts on the following trade:
I get Steve Slaton and I give Calvin Johnson.

My current lineup for WR and RB are -
Wes Welker
Steve Smith
Jerricho Cotchery
Calvin Johnson

Thomas Jones
Bernard Scott
Jamal Lewis
Willis McGahee
Leonard Weaver
Tashard Choice

Holy shit! The crowning achievement! After starting 0-5 in ATOT#3, I have won 7 straight, held the points lead for all but one week (reclaimed that from TallBill 2 weeks ago), and clinched a playoff spot with a win last night!

Yesterday was my second straight 4-0 week for fantasy football, also squeaking a win out in ATOT#5 taking me to 9-3, 2nd in points total, leading my division and clinching a playoff spot there as well!

ATOT#6, I've won 2 straight, which is an achievement in itself, as I'm no longer fighting not to be in last place anymore. I could still end up last, especially since my next opponent will be rather unbeatable given the matchup. No chance of making the playoffs here, the spread in my division is just too big.

Facebook league, currently in 5th place at 6-6, 2nd in points total. I can potentially make a run for 3rd in the league still. It'll be a stretch, but it can be done.

How's everybody else shaping up this year?

 

[joesmoke]

Good job on the streak SD... Im only in one league (14 teams PPR), but after starting 1-4 i won my last 7, clinching a spot this week and finally claiming first in standings after being first in points for weeks. ya for me and thanks to all who've given me some advice.

 

[dbk]

whoever is in ATOT#4.. I pwn that league
but I'm dead last in ATOT#2 :awe:
