Just make sure you scour the news reports. He is just back at practice and expected to play. Make sure there's no "ease him back into things" plan for him out of Norv/SD.

I'll be sure. i'm going to replace McGahee if i get him and he is good to go for sunday.

K Train · 09-20-2012, 01:22 PM

i cant believe hes available. league must not be for money lol.

vikes_28 · 09-20-2012, 01:24 PM

no it's not. the person who dropped him has never played fantasy football. This is a keeper league too

ImBrotherCain · 09-20-2012, 01:57 PM

Alright could use some assistance gents.

Pick three:
Fizgerald, Lloyd, VJax and Britt.

Steven Jackson or take a flyer on LeShoure?

I'd give Britt one more week to see what he'll do. It's still not clear how much Locker will target him since they haven't played together. Lloyd and Jackson have been target eaters so far this season and Fitz isn't far behind.

I've been a big proponent of LeShoure but wouldn't start him over Jackson. You'll have enough boom/bust potential with the WRs and are best served starting Jackson and locking up 10 points+ to supplement whatever wild scores you get from other positions.

I wouldn't drop Wilson before tonight's game. He could easily re-take the spot he lost to Brown. Williams looks like a clear #2 now, especially with the fumble. Still, early season RB depth is nice to have. Aren't you carrying Schaub? Why?

I am carrying Schaub because I had expected to play week by week matchups between him and Cutler and dropping him at this point and going Cutler solo scares the **** out of me.

Also wasn't thinking about Wilson playing tonight. That does help seeing as waivers process tomorrow morning. It will allow me to see if he is worth dropping for the time being.

Based on a scoring system of 6pt TD passes, 1 point per 25 passing and -2 per INT/Fumble:

Cutler has 27 points - good for QB25.
Schaub has 23 points - good for QB31 (technically, a tie for QB30 with Tannehill.)

QBs that are probably on your waiver wire that have better numbers than BOTH of them: Bradford (stock rising.) Cassel (not great, but the way the Chiefs D looks suggests he'll be throwing plenty.) Freeman / Sanchez / Kolb and a whole slew of other guys that really are better options than Schaub handing off to Foster/Tate.

So you are advocating the dropping of Schaub (using that spot for Avery) and rolling with a Waiver QB for Cutlers bye?

I am demanding it.

FlyingElvis · 09-20-2012, 02:33 PM

Week 6 is Cutler's bye and Schaub faces Green Bay.

Cassel plays Tampa. Ponder faces off agains the Skins D. Hell, even Tannehill has a better matchup against the Rams.

Or, if you really like him, you can just pick Schaub up again because nobody else will in the meantime.

holt_bruce81 · 09-20-2012, 03:14 PM

Lafell and Arizona D for Pitta and 49ers D?

Or I can replace Lafell with Torrey Smith.

scottyboy · 09-20-2012, 03:26 PM

so what's the deal with Jackie Battle? PIcked him up and starting him (deep league, FJax and J-Stew both hurt). Should I scoop up Kuhn and go ultimate TD or bust team with him and Ramses? Or leave Battle thinking Mathews won't get the full load first game back?

bantx · 09-20-2012, 03:29 PM

I can't imagine Mathews not getting the full load, it was a collarbone injury. He could've been back last week but was held out so he's been practicing for about 2 weeks now. But Battle should see his carries on 3rd down and possibly goal line plays.

Mufasa · 09-20-2012, 03:29 PM

Stay away from Kuhn. He'll give you nothing in yards, and the past two years he's averaged a TD just once every 2.66 games. With Cedric Benson there now too that'll probably even go down.

I hate to turn on Torrey so quickly but find it tough to ignore his low targets thus far. If you can move him to fill a TE need it's a good trade. Pitta was just bumped officially on the Ravens depth chart so it looks like Dickson is less of a concern than previously believed.

Pitta may not be a stud this week, as the Patriots sound like they're considering Pitta as the top passing threat. Right now he certainly has the makings of a breakout player, and a good one to target.

Battle took over in the second half when the Chargers were sailing. Brinkley is still the better play, especially since the Chargers are likely to be in a competitive game with the Falcons.

should i play Lafell vs. Giants or Colston vs. Chiefs? or Lance Moore vs. Chiefs? or Maclin vs. Arizona?

bantx · 09-20-2012, 04:01 PM

Colston vs Chief

Chiefs defense is awful

I concur. I'd give Colston the edge over LaFell. Maclin is too risky. Anyone that started him last week (me!) got lucky with his TD catch prior to leaving the game. Not worth the risk with very good options to play instead.

my problem is that 7 rec yards = 1 pt, so wrs are more worth it if they get the catches and yards bc its 10 rush yards = 1 pt.

Colston has been off so far, Lance Moore had 1 good week. Doug Martin or receiver is what my main thing is besides colston or not.

Colston just needs to get healthy.
