Actually, may start Ronnie Brown over Miller against the Jets D.

damn my team's a mess

Yes, yes it is.

I'd play Heath. He's consistent and a known commodity. The Giants RBs have the matchup in their favor, not the WRs. Ronnie Brown is not a good start. He lost the start to Brinkley and it looks like both lost the start to Jackie Battle. Go add Draughn just in case Charles can't go.

Argh. RB #2 spot this week. PPR/Return yard league:

LaRod Stephens-Howling vs Philly
Mike Tolbert vs. NYG
Roy Helu vs. Cincy
Chris Ogbonnaya vs. Buffalo

If Stewart doesn't play I'd go with Tolbert, otherwise, I'd go LSH again.

Yeah, it's tough with Fred Jackson out.. and I picked Helu back when everyone figured he'd be the starter, even with the Shanahan situation.

Docta · 09-19-2012, 03:30 PM

Williams is in the doghouse now, so LSH could be a great pick.

K Train · 09-19-2012, 03:30 PM

sucks that fred jackson may never regain his status now i had him in one league, as my flex....happy i had dmac and sproles ahead of him when he went down

FlyingElvis · 09-19-2012, 03:36 PM

Now if only McFadden and the Raiders ground game would show some life . . .

Bert Macklin · 09-19-2012, 04:19 PM

Who to start at K Nugent or Gould?

Bulldogs · 09-19-2012, 04:52 PM

One point PPR. Struggling between these three. Pick two.

Brandon Lafell vs. NYG
Alfred Morris vs. CIN
Steven Jackson @CHI

Lafell and Morris.

Jackson is playing Chicago, not Cincy btw.

I would be starting Donald Brown and Andre Brown (I have Bradshaw, too) and they both have very nice matchups.

I am having this exact dilemma... do I start Brown over Peterson? I don't think I can bring myself to do it

vikes_28 · 09-19-2012, 05:05 PM

do you guys think daryl richardson will do anything this week vs chicago?

I'd still take Peterson. Chances are he'll struggle against San Fran but even in those kind of games he has a way of getting a goal line TD or two.

And although David Wilson has been in the doghouse I think he ends up getting more carries than people think.

scottyboy · 09-19-2012, 05:12 PM

somehow jackie battle was available. scooping him up as we speak and putting him over ronnie.

also starting Barden over Sidney Rice

while this is true, down in the red zone, it'll most likely be all Brown. Plus with Nicks out, we may run the ball more.

Or just throw more to Wilson, it's a toss up. I'm just wary with AD going against SF and that bad Vikes OL

It's absolutely possible that Peterson ends up with 14 carries for 37 yards or something. I'd just much rather go with the known commodity who's guaranteed to get a large majority of the carries.

Ah I see. Kickers are almost impossible to predict but I guess I'd go with Gould against the weaker defense.

holt_bruce81 · 09-19-2012, 05:33 PM

I know some have told me to hang onto Larry, but new way of thinking for me, don't add a RB, I need an upgrade at TE, any chance you think Fitz and Fleener can land me Jimmy Graham?

Hines · 09-19-2012, 05:33 PM

Tamme for Hernandez a good trade? I need a TE now that AHern is out for a while and I have no back up. Heath Miller is on waivers and I put a claim in him, but should I do this?

Or better yet how about Walsh? Can't see the Minnesots O getting in the endzone too much.

I definitely wouldn't. Everything I've seen says he'll only be out a couple weeks and you're talking about trading a top 3-4 TE.

I don't think Tamme is all that much better than Heath Miller and you probably won't have much trouble getting Miller off waivers.

Walsh is a good choice. The Vikes offense has been stalling around the red zone against a lot worse defenses than SF and he's got a big leg.

Again though, who knows with kickers. You're basically just throwing **** at the wall and hoping it sticks. Maybe with the exception of the elite guys like Seabass and Akers.
