Not happy with Pitts. with Troy P. out - the interceptions GB is picking up is giving them good points despite points allowed. I think I've covered pretty well despite my wife picking up some questionable picks for me on draft night - only issue is Brady and Ben have bye week the same week.

Is Leftwich or Palmer available to cover your bye week for Brady? Leftwich has been consistent and should only get better as his WRs get healty. Palmer made huge strides in Week 2 against a better team and a great defense. I think he'll get better as he gets more confidence in his leg.

Leftwich was my first choice actually - and no, their bye week is the same as Pitts and NE. Talk about crappy luck, and I think Palmer is picked up by someone.

i think for one week then you play qb roulette. find anyone on the waivers that week that starts and if there are multiple, pick the best of the crap. it's only one week, not worth trying to trade anyone for. unless you're open to relying on big ben as the starter and sending brady out to improve wr/rb

My RB core is pretty strong, only person who has disappointed is Forte. They might not be a Peterson or C. Johnson, but it works. And surprisingly, my WRs have always managed to come through, heh.

This was an auto draft, so its a meh lineup... but with a few trades it could become decent.

Thinking about replacing brandon Jacobs with tim hightower(cards)??
Also should I start Mark Clayton (ravens) over TJ houshmanzadeh(seahawks)?
also I need a replacement for Nate Washington.

About the only thing I would suggest is that you start Warner over Rothlesleabaknbeiuytburger. Other than that, you have a fucking SOLID team.

Also should I start Mark Clayton (ravens) over TJ houshmanzadeh(seahawks)? Um, why? hasselbeck broke ribs, seattle will not be throwing as much for at least 6 weeks. And clayton has triple housh's current point toal for weeks 1-3 especially with mason injured.

Let's put this in perspective shall we?

QB: Philip Rivers
WR: Terrell Owens
WR: Vincent Jackson
RB: Adrian Peterson
RB: Fred Jackson
TR: Brent Celek
W/R Flex: Clinton Portis
K: Nick Folk
Def: Green Bay

** I Lost Last Week's Matchup With This Team ** (by less than 1 point), and arguably everyone on the team had a pretty decent week.

Looking at Jacobs for example, his next 3 games are against TB, KC and Oakland. Not exactly stellar defenses by any means. I agree, Hightower is good. But as far as the Cards are concerned, they WANT to give it to Wells. All it takes is one breakout day for Wells and Hightower takes a back seat.

As far as T.J. goes, if Hasselbeck is out, all the more reason to keep him, since Wallace will need all the help they can get.

As far as Washington goes - like I said, he's healthy finally, and proved it last week. Collins will be looking to him first and Gage second on the field. Unlike the Ravens, who have multiple receivers that they have been actively using (which is why I'm wondering why I have Mason on my roster still), you aren't going to see many balls going to WR's on Tennessee other than Washington or Gage. Britt is the exception, but even more rare now that Washington is healthy.

If anything, I would suggest dropping Clayton for Muhammed if you feel Muhammed is worth having, since it's obvious you can't tell who Flacco is going to be targeting from week to week with the Ravens.

How many people are in your league? This matters a whole lot when you are discussing teams with others.

do *NOT* drop Brandon Jacobs. The Giants rely on the run to establish their offense. Just because he got stuffed by the cowboys does not mean that will happen all year.

I would start Clayton. I think others will agree with me in saying that the Ravens are the best team in the AFC right now. They are red hot.

I don't agree. I would say the Ravens are a good team, but Flacco struggled last week, and in terms of fantasy points it's a toss of the dart as to which receiver gets the ball with the Ravens. For all we know, Mason might be the one in the endzone this week. The Raven's only consistent fantasy scorers are Ray Rice for rushing yardage, and Willis McGahee for redzone TD carry points. Other than that, nothing is really "impressive" about the Ravens fantasy-wise, including their defense. You can just about be assured SOMEBODY on the team is going to get great numbers from week to week; you just never know WHO.

I wasn't saying fantasy wise. I am saying NFL wise. I always adhere to the theory of sticking with the hot teams when it comes to fantasy football. With the ravens D being as stout as it is, the ball with be in Flaccos hand quite a bit. Regardless if he struggles or not, this will result in the WR's getting a chance at big plays. This is always a good thing. And isnt it always a toss up on which WR is going to catch the ball in the end zone? Even #1 WR's have been dissapointing so far this year (Larry Fitzy comes to mind) A chance at a TD is neverr a sure thing like it is with RB's.

Following the hot teams is a strategy I would recommend to others. If I were looking to pick up players in my leagues, I would be picking up bears WR's and Giants WR's. They both are hot teams IMO. In fact I picked up Mario Manningham in 2 leagues and Johnny Knox in another.

Again, I disagree. When it comes to WR's, I look for the consistent points gainers in fantasy. After all, that's why we're here in this thread right? I got burned last week by picking up a couple of the Week 1 "hot hands". I also got burned by not playing someone that can consistently put up fantasy points, whether he scores or not (Ochocinco). I would personally rather play someone that's going to put up 7 or 8 points every single game with the occasional outburst of 14 or 18 points, rather than the "hot hand" that might get 20 points one week, and then 0 or 2 for the next three weeks.

The fact that you picked up both Manningham and Knox just illustrates my points - both players have put up consistently GOOD points, with the occasional outburst for additional points. It's not that they're the hot commodity of the week - it's that they're a consistent commodity that you can rely on. As far as Baltimore goes, the ONLY consistent commodity to rely on on that team is Rice and McGahee right now.

I dont think we can call anyone a consistant commodity 2 weeks into the season, ESPECIALLY when it comes to WRs. With RB's we can already figure out who the high scorers are going to be. The # of touches have been established for most RBs already.

The reason for me picking up Knox and Manningham is so I can have a good backup to my starting lineup. When they have a favorable matchup, ill put them in. When they dont, I will sit them out. I keep these players mainly as a backup, and I keep them simply so I can take them away from other teams. In fact, in both leagues I dont expect to start Garcon (someone stole knox from me) or manningham.

Here are my starting lineups for week 3:

(12 man league, no PPR BS)
Matt Ryan
Randy Moss
Chris Johnson
Kellen Winslow
Cadillac Williams
Pierre Thomas or TJ housh (Dont Know yet)
Robbie Gould
New England D

(Manningham, Julius Jones, Hasselbeck, beanie wells, Laverneus coles, leon Washington on bench)

(14 man league, no PPR BS)
Peyton Manning
Wes Welker
Chris Johnson
Jason Witten
Willie Parker (This guy breaks my heart every year)
Ted Ginn Jr
Robbie Gould
San Diego D

(Jonathan Stewart, Beanie Wells, Hixon, Le'Ron McClain, Pierre Garcon on bench)

(12 man league, No PPR BS)
Philip Rivers
Randy Moss
Marques Colston
Brandon Jacobs
Willis McGahee
Chris Cooley
Hines Ward
David Akers
Minn D

(Addai, Jerricho Cotchery, Jake Delhomme, Isaac Brice, Michael Vick, Manningham on bench)

As you can see, I pick up these players and then bench them. Maybe they will be good in 4 weeks, maybe they will be a complete bust. But at least I have these players on my bench and ready to go if needed.

 

[endervalentine]

I think of fishing for a trade, there's a team that's hurting for a QB and I have Brees and Flacco. Thinking of trading Flacco for M. Turner, on the high possibility that I get rejected, I think he would bite if I throw in a WR. Which WR should I throw in?

Currently, this is my lineup:
Drew Brees
Calvin Johnson
Jerricho Cotchery
Steve Smith
Thomas Jones
Tashard Choice
Jeremy Schockey

Bench:
Brian Westbrook
Derrick Ward
Jamal Lewis
Wes Welker
Mark Bradley
Joe Flaco
Glen Coffee

Neil Rackers

Alrighty... Which guy should I start as my #3 WR? (Already starting Wayne and Ochocinco)
Manningham, Harvin, DeSean Jackson

Also... is it time to jump ship on Steve Slaton?... not liking the coaches comments about Steve... last year before he blew up it was Kubiak's vote of confidence that convinced me to buy in early... now I'm getting the opposite message.

Manningham. Going up against a Tampa D that is still having issues in it's secondary and has already proven that they're going to get raped by the long ball every week.

I'm giving Slaton another week, then looking at what he gets for carries compared to Chris Brown this week. If he puts the ball on the ground one more time, or if he gets less carries and low numbers this week, you can expect that he won't be the #1 back for at least the next few weeks.

8 man leagues are hard to judge. I usually wont join a league with less than 10 people.

The only thing I would suggest on your team is to pull Steve Smith (NYG) and Cedric Benson out of your starting lineup. Im sure you can pick up a better receiver / RB (if its a flex position) off of the free agent list. Start Brandon Jacobs!

If there are only 8 people in your league, try and pick up the hot kicker / defense of the week. People tend to not load up on extra DEF / K so you should have a large availability of defenses or kickers out there. Check out the Spreads & Over/Unders in Vegas and that will give you a decent idea of what kind of scoring is expected out of the teams. You could possibly pick up a new kicker or defense every week depending on who they are playing. Might be a good strategy for you to try out?
