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

[slayer202]

Tough call... I know Dustin Keller is tearing it up right now... but ZM is the only true receiving option in Oakland... and they will be losing (therefore chucking it) more often than the NYJs... I need to take a closer look at the matchups down the stretch.

I think they both play the colts one of the 2 playoff weeks. indy has given up FIVE points a game to TEs so far this year, and thats ppr

 

[leeland]

I just want to go on record saying I disagree strongly with a lot of the advice/comments adrenaline has given.

leeland, I would NOT do that trade. definitely not.


My question, would you rather have dustin keller or zach miller for the rest of the year in a PPR league? I'm trying to package one of them + johnny knox for a better receiver

why would you not do a deal like that? Just curious of your reasoning

 

[Chiboy]

What if I offered DeAngelo Williams, Anquan Boldin and Caddy for the same 3 from him...

That would be a better deal for you. Staring 2 of the top 3 rbs is a win.

I think ZM has the better match-ups down the stretch... with Jacksonville and Denver for the first two games of the playoffs. The colts matchup looks tough... but better to get to the championship game and then worry about it.

 

[Chiboy]

The Vikings are playing the Jets.

The Lions are playing the Rams.

yeees

You caught that right? Go with Hill.

 

[Doboji]

Schaub >= Rivers
Jennings >>> Knox
Tolbert... are you really that desperate at RB?

 

[Doboji]

Play the matchup huh? I hate Hill... but oh well.

Think of it like this, Hill throws it up & Johnson catches it or Farve throws it up & Revis intercepts it.

Yeh but they haven't played anyone with a real legitimate threat at TE either. Boss was out when they played NY. Lewis scored in the Jacksonville game. Denver and Houston are both weak at TE.

 

[leeland]

Schaub >= Rivers
Jennings >>> Knox
Tolbert... are you really that desperate at RB?

I agree totally on the knox to jennings comparison...

at this moment in time Schaub has 40 less points in my league than Rivers...something like 126 to 88

and No I am not that desperate for RB's like I said I have R.R. who isn't doing bad but isn't doing great...Tolbert has more points than him right now and Ryan Mathews isn't looking that great at the moment...

I have Boldin and Floyd (for the double up points)...

I am not trying to disagree with you...but just trying to paint a picture of why I might consider it.

You can disagree all you want but I have done fairly well in FF. The only major thing I can feel bad about was Lance Moore. I have not even said much about FF this year.

Reggie Bush outside of a PPR is not much to speak about from my own experience.

I would not do that trade if I was Leeland either.

Bear in mind Schaub has been operating without arguably the best Wideout in football Andre Johnson. PLUS the first week of the season Houston was able to bludgeon their opponent to death with a 200+ yard rushing effort by Arian Foster. He's only had one true week so far this season... where he put up almost 500 yards passing.

Also I don't buy into the whole double points thing... I treat Fantasy like a investment portfolio diversify baby.

 

[leeland]

good points guys...I ain't doing the deal

 

[Adrenaline]

Slayer, since you know so much and I seem to know so little, help me out with my WR/RB situation.

I have:
Wayne
Miles (already had his bye week)
Maclin

I could use a huge upgrade at TE or a RB as my RBs are banged up:

McCoy
Thomas
Barber (is he always questionable?)

I managed to grab Peyton Hillis, Ryan Torain and Marshawn Lynch (hopefully the last two work out for me).

If I were you, I'd try to trade Hillis and/or Ryan Torain for one of the underperforming backs that you KNOW will turn it around... like... Ray Rice for example.

I wouldn't trade Maclin, Miles or Wayne... all three will be really good down the stretch.

 

[Adrenaline]

Fred Jackson is still available in my league. Is he worth picking up at all? The Bills may have the worst team in the NFL.

Thanks Daboji.

Yes Fast Freddie is def worth a roster spot regardless of how much the Bills suck. Question is who would you be dropping for him?

I could drop Walter (currently in my RB/WR spot due to Barber inconsistency), Snelling or Barber.

Walter has good upside, Snelling will be good if Turner gets injured (Turner injured his groin, usually those are lingering like hamstrings so I have hung on to him. Almost three weeks have passed.) but it is looking like he won't and Dallas uses a RBBC approach with two to three backs.

 

[Adrenaline]

Here is my team (I think I did ok in an 8 person league, currently sitting in 2nd at 3-1):

QB Aaron Rodgers, GB QB @Was
RB Peyton Hillis, Cle RB Q Atl
RB Ryan Torain, Was RB GB
RB/WR Kevin Walter, Hou WR NYG
WR Reggie Wayne, Ind WR P KC
WR Miles Austin, Dal WR Ten
TE Tony Moeaki, KC TE @Ind
D/ST Saints D/ST, NO D/ST @Ari
K Matt Bryant, Atl K @Cle

BENCH Wk 5 2010 SEASON WEEK 5
Bench LeSean McCoy, Phi RB Q @SF
Bench Pierre Thomas, NO RB Q @Ari
Bench Marion Barber, Dal RB Ten
Bench Jets D/ST, NYJ D/ST Min
Bench Jeremy Maclin, Phi WR @SF
Bench Jason Snelling, Atl RB @Cle
Bench Marshawn Lynch, Sea RB

 

[MikeMike]

Cedric Benson, or Matt Forte? is this Forte, and the 49ers breakout week?

With Collins starting at QB the Bears are going to try running the ball, keyword being try remember they have no O-line. I wouldn't expect too much from Forte.

 

[tontod]

Currently I have Tolbert to be a starter and Mathews and Pierre Thomas on the bench. Should I bench Tolbert and give either Mathews or Thomas a chance?

 

[gimmewhitecastles]

Tolbert looks to split carries with Mathews again but its still unclear how they will split the carries. it could be a 50/50 split but obviously they want Mathews to take claim of the starters gig eventually. Pierre Thomas also looks to take back the starters gig as well coming back from injury.

They both have nice matchups but i'll take Thomas if he's fully healed. Because he's quite involved in the passing game.

 

[slayer202]

adrenaline, you should be able to easily drop snelling or barber in an 8 team league. i don't think you have to panic though. mccoy will be fine once hes back, and pierre thomas should be also. between your other pickups you should be ok for the next couple weeks. if you want, you can try to trade one of those pickups for someone more trusted, like doboji said. you can try grabbing fred jackson but idk if I would play him over your options.

I would grab Jackson to fill in at RB/WR. I would prefer a RB to a WR there. I would play Thomas if I knew he was 100%.

Btw, do you all play in PPR leagues? I don't play in PPR leagues so that is why I am not sold on some WRs.
