I'm pretty weak in RB area and it's slim pickings from this 14man league. Which two should I start or it really doesn't matter?

Thomas Jones Nyj vs Hou
Derrick Ward Tb vs Dal

Bench
Jamal Lewis Cle vs Min
Peyton Hillis Den vs Cin
Edgerrin James Sea vs Stl
Glen Coffee SF vs Ari

That's tough. I would definitely stick with Jones for RB1, and for RB2 I am stuck between Hillis and James. If I had to pick, I would go with Hillis.

Anyone else listening to "Fantasy Freak Show" tonight/this morning? It's hosted by Andy Behrens and Brandon Funston, of Yahoo Sports. Last weeks show (Pierre Thomas interview) is on Roto Arcade, and you can listen to tonight's show streaming at 1AM EDT. Everyone who's in a league with me can just ignore this post and don't tune in (don't want you getting tips/advice to use against me )

EDIT: Nvm, it's on NOW

What can Brown do for you? Brown for sure.

This morning's Fantasy Freak Show was just uploaded as podcast. I recommend everyone playing FF to give it a listen. It's pretty funny sometimes (love Evans and Behrens) and some good sit/start advice as well as a breakdown of all the matchups.

Lynch is suspended, so I would definitely start Jackson.

Given the options though - considering this IS Buffalo we're talking about and this IS a WR/RB flex position and considering that they are playing IN New England, is Jackson a better choice to start over any of those three receivers?

If you want a safer option, yeah, I'd go with Gonzalez, but I feel hopeful for Jackson, even against the Pats. Your call, really.

yeah i'd go with gonzalez too.

 

[newb111]

1. Eli vs Washington or Flacco vs KC
2. Jets defense vs Houston or GB defense vs Chicago

Also, I have Moreno in my second RB slot, and he's listed as questionable, but it seems like he will play. My backup is Jamal Lewis vs Min =(

Any thoughts would be appreciated

 

[SunnyD]

1st league : Keep Jerious Norwood or drop for one of Cadillac Williams, Leon Washington or Tim Hightower?

2nd league : Drop Amhad Bradshaw for Jamal Lewis?

Incidentally - my crappy team ended up winning against was was projected to be a better team. Thomas Jones ended up putting up some big numbers, as well as Hester and Jennings. The other team ended up with Matt Forte being shut down, and her QB (Warner) ended up having a bad night.

 

[vi edit]

Caddillac looked good. Hard to say what happens in the next 15 weeks though. His history is not pretty and there's a plethora of backs in that backfield hungry for carries. He could very well get 10 touches for 40 yards the next three games.

In your other league how did Lewis even go undrafted? Damn. Definitely grab him. He looked much better than the reports trickeling out of training camp said about him.

 

[Crono]

Hightower. More reliable than your other 2 options, and always has ability to produce high numbers depending on matchup and how he's utilized. Would have earned me 20 pts yesterday had I played him Forte (for the first time) and Bell did not meet my expectations.

For Lewis, pretty much what vi edit said. He should perform favorable in the next game (Denver), as well.

Hightower more reliable than Washington? Washington didn't fare so bad yesterday against what by all rights should have been a decent team, and I believe he's in a contract year? Hightower has shown he's a receiving threat, but I wonder how long that will last.

Ha! Even with slaton leaving me a steaming pile of poo and Cutler throwing 4 INT's this weekend I only need 5 points to bump you off tonight. And I have TO, SD Def, and Kaeding to play yet.

Wee!

 

[SunnyD]

What do I do with the 3 leagues I have Anthony Gonzalez?

Granted, he's not a starter at the moment in any of my leagues... but I'm not very deep on WR depth in terms of quality. I wonder is Stuckey is worth a look. Or maybe Clayton.

Crayton, Henderson, Burleson, or Gage available?

Looking back at last seasons stats, I think you might be right about Washington. For some reason I thought Hightower averaged more pass/receiving yards. Neither are particularly consistent, but you are correct. I think the number of TDs (10 for Hightower, 6 for Washington) is what threw me off (on fantasy value).

I'm up by 93 (196-103) going into tonight. I'm done, the other guy has Randy Moss & Darren McFadden.

I think this one is pretty much locked up.

Good grief. You have AP, Brees, and Philly D?

Brees(59), Reggie Wayne(28), Thomas Jones(22), Tim Hightower(19), etc.

My #1 RB and #2 WR did nothing or else it wouldn't have been that close!

 

[SunnyD]

Crayton & Henderson are in one of the leagues. (My depth chart includes Mason (Starter), Welker (Starter), M. Jenkins, Avery and Gozalez at this point)

Henderson & Burleson in the second. (My depth chart includes Ochocinco (Starter), Mason (Starter), Gonzalez, M. Jenkins and Avery at this point)

Also have a 3rd league with Kevin Walter & Michael Jenkins sitting on my bench, with all four of those WR's available. (Just throwin that out there for S&G)

I just snagged these two in my league.

Anyone know if welker is playing tonight?
