***OFFICIAL*** 2010 Fantasy Football General Q&A

[tontod]

Damnit, Lance Moore sucked and DeSean is out of the game?

 

[Kelvrick]

When my kicker (Crosby) scores more points than my QB (P. Manning), you know it's over, even with a favorable matchup of SD vs OAK sitll to come.

At least you didn't have Sam Bradford as your qb and St. Louis as your Def. Oh well, I still won since everyone else but Cinco showed up this week.

 

[shocksyde]

I'm down by 14 in a 1PPR league. My opponent has the Vikings D/ST and I have Percy Harvin and Dustin Keller. I SHOULD be able to squeak out a win...

 

[VoteQuimby]

I have a 10 point lead and AP vs. Jets D. Here's hoping AP gets 5-10 and Favre doesn't throw 6 picks. If I get this win, I'll be the only 5-0 team in my league.

Starting ANY Saint receiver is ALWAYS a gamble.

 

[vi edit]

If you had to pick tonight:

Keller vs. Shiancoe @ TE
Shonn Greene vs. Bantonio Holmes for flex spot?

Keller and Holmes

Regardless, its still a very long shot for you to win against Jets D + 30 pts in a non-PPR. I would start Greene. Edwards has been Sanchize's favorite target so far, so I don't think Holmes will change it overnight and get a 25 pt game.

Its funny how your entire team shows up with a Q, P, or O designation next to the players. hahaha

You should pick up a trainer off waivers

No kidding. And that's after dropping Portis. It's horrible. I'm held together with duct tape at this point.

I'd go keller and greene. I don't like greene but not sure how much work holmes will get

 

[gimmewhitecastles]

its going to be LT's show unless they build a large lead or are getting blown out. plus even when he does get touches he still gets to face the williams wall.

and its not like holmes is coming back from injury. it was a suspension, hes had time to digest the playbook and build chemistry with sanchez. and minny secondary is inconsistent. it might only go for a few receptions but they could be big play action bombs. maybe a td in the mix . it's risky but i might be tempted to roll with holmes after a few shots of tequila.

i'm pretty sure rex ryan wants to unleash his new toy especially on monday night much like how favre wants to throw to his new toy.

Who do you start between Percy Harvin and Braylon Edwards? Having a tough time figuring it out. Yahoo! start percentages are 62% Edwards and 57% Harvin. I'm up by 14 points and my opponent has Dustin Keller and Randy Moss.

i'd go with edwards... he's getting a lot of goal line targets from sanchez

 

[tontod]

This is my current starting lineup:

Kyle Orton (QB)
DeSean Jackson (WR)
Malcom Floyd (WR)
Ahmad Bradshaw (RB)
Mike Tolbert (RB)
Dustin Keller (TE)
Lance Moore (W/T)
Neil Rackers (K)
GB (DEF)

On the bench, for a WR I only have Sidney Rice who is injured. On the FA list, these are the guys that are highest in # of points (most 1st):
Steve Johnson
Roy Williams
Nate Washington
Kenny Britt
Louis Murphy
Davone Bess


Should I ditch DeSean since he hasnt done a whole lot the last 2 weeks, or should I be patient and give him another week? At least I should get rid of Lance Moore?

I would hang on to Desean for a little longer, or offer him for trade bait in a package deal and try for someone else.

Steve Johnson is on the Bills but as Fitzpatrick is getting more comfortable in the offense, he should get more comfortable throwing to Johnson.

Dez Bryant got injured so Roy will get more involved with the offense because Dallas is not running the ball at all. I would lean towards Roy as Dallas moves the ball more times than not. Dallas is thowing the ball all over.

Bess is opposite Marshall and so he should get some good looks.

Britt and Washington are with TN I believe and as defenses stack 8-9 in the box to stop Johnson, this will open up the passing game.

Murphy is in Oakland and their offense moves the ball but it is mostly to their TE and RB so far this year with little WR action.

Something is wrong with New Orleans right now and Brees throws the ball all over the place to be able to pinpoint what receiver he is going to throw to is difficult.

 

[tontod]

Thanks. I just started watching the game, is Dustin Keller not playing? He hasnt gotten any points yet.

Edit: Well, he is playing but he hasnt gotten the ball yet. I shouldnt have benched Vernon Davis this week, maybe I should start him next week against Oakland?

 

[MikeMike]

Would you pick up Shockey, in replacement for Finley? I just dropped Witten (small points no TD's) for Hernandez (NE)

With Finley now gone... is this a good idea? lol... i was a little early on that call...

 

[tontod]

This is my lineup and matchup for week 6, its a tough competition, hopefully I wont get blown away:

 

[shocksyde]

I should've been decimated this week b/c my top RB and top WR were on Byes. Also, Pierre Thomas was out.

Thank you Percy Harvin and Malcolm Floyd!!

Anyways, any thoughts on my week 6 line-up?

QB - Kyle Orton - NYJ
RB - Rashard Mendenhall - CLE
RB - Pierre Thomas - @TB
RB/WR - Hines Ward - CLE
WR - Percy Harvin - DAL
WR/TE - Malcolm Floyd - @STL
TE - Dustin Keller - @DEN

BN - Brett Favre - DAL
BN - Brandon Jackson - MIA
BN - Nate Washington - @JAC
BN - Roy E. Williams - @MIN
BN - Davone Bess - @GB

If Thomas is out again, Brandon Jackson is my only current option (DeAngelo Williams is on bye). I'm gonna try to grab Ernest Graham off waivers (7 of 12 priority, so kinda doubt it). If I get him, would you start Jackson or Graham? I'd have to imagine Jackson.

That is all that is on waivers for you?

Snagged Deion Branch off the waiver wire last night without having to wait for waivers thanks to him being on a bye week (dropped Kevin Walter). Shrewd move? You make the call.

My WR lineup now is:
Malcom Floyd
Brandon Lloyd
Braylon Edwards
Deion Branch
Wes Welker

For reference, TE's are:
Zach Miller
Aaron Hernandez

RB's:
Michael Turner
Ronnie Brown
Beanie Wells
Ryan Torian
Johnathan Stewart

Now if only I could get a QB that isn't named Matt Schaub...

If you wanted him then it was a great move.

Welker
Branch
Tate

Does Tate now play the slot?

I would not bother unless you really need a WR. You have 3 pats players....you are certainly not going to start all of them at the same time. Right now, it looks like Branch will be more of a decoy role. If D's so not fall for it, then Branch will get the pass. Other than that, he will not put up huge numbers.

 

[Gunslinger08]

Would you guys recommend picking up Deion Branch over Joshua Cribbs? Cribbs has 45 points this season compared to 16 for Branch.
