Keep Jackson. I feel like he's more of a sure thing this year compared to the other 2. Teams are just going to stack the box for MJD with Gabbert in there and you never what you're going to get with the Jets offense. Jackson is much more reliable and in a very balanced offense.

Pick 1 Non PPR

J Battle vs SD
B Scott @ Sea
P Thomas @ STL
D Carter @ Ten

SimonRath · 10-28-2011, 09:21 AM

Soo.. last week i was down 30 points going into the ravens game and i had ray rice, ravens D and dickson playing. All of them COMBINED couldnt even total 30 points.. how ******* pathetic!

As for this week, tebow vs detroit or hasselback vs colts?

Thanks guys :D

Probably as is. Cruz vs. Nelson is anyone's guess, really. I'd say Cruz's stone hands probably bumps him down b/c he could easily earn the wrath of Coughlin and land in the doghouse.

MJD is just a guy. Holmes is not quite even just a guy. The FF Championship teams will probably have one or more of guys like Fred / Welker / S.Smith / Sproles. I see no reason to move them.

I'd go with Battle. I don't see a repeat of the Javier Arenas / Ron McClain 1 carry for one TD nonsense. I also doubt we see 2 defensive TDs again, as well. The only concern is the jackass of a coach who has to be the victim of blackmail by Thomas Jones, as I see no other explanation for his presence in the lineup over anyone on the Chiefs roster.

I'd go Hass and hope for a bounce back game against a terrible team. I will not buy the Tebow hype.

Jakey · 10-28-2011, 10:00 AM

Elvis, any update on the DMC trade?

A Perfect Score · 10-28-2011, 10:09 AM

Should I trade Mike Turner and Marques Colston for Rashard Mendenhall and Dwayne Bowe? It's in my money league and it's a huge payout, I'm 6-1 and leading the league right now but I've already lost Kenny Britt, Jahvid Best and Sam Bradford. My team is pretty hurting right now. Mendenhall has been a huge fantasy bust this season but he could heat up down the stretch while Turner could wear down, and Ive no idea who to take between Colston and Bowe. Obviously I'm 6-1 I want to win this season...what do you guys think?

The matchups are much better for the guys you currently own. The situations are better for the guys you currently own. You have the workhorse in a run 1st offense and the WR1 (re-emerging WR1, at that) on a pass happy offense. I'd stand pat. As a guy who has been drafting or trading for Turner since he went to the Falcons, I totally understand the concern for him down the stretch. I've been burned by, um, the burner. lol Still, if it ain't broke . . .

My intention was to wait out last weekend's games, and that turned out to be a smart move now that he's hurt.

Right now I'm holding off and doing my best to be patient. I'm not in dire straights (4-2, tied for second in the division, most points in the league) and I'm playing the team in my division that I'm tied with, so I'm in good shape and can afford to give Battle / Torain / Best / Tolbert / Hillis time and hope one emerges as a quality start alongside Bradshaw for the stretch run. Plus I'm playing the other 4-2 team so a win buys me another week of patience and the chance to start Rodgers in week 9 w/Cam on bye instead of a lessor QB.

Rodgers is far too valuable in this league to give up without elite returns - even with Cam rotting on my bench. Rodgers is averaging 48 points per week vs. Cam's 33 so it's a considerable drop.

Jakey · 10-28-2011, 11:11 AM

Trade Cam! :d

It's a keeper format and I drafted him in round 18, so he is not for sale. Rodgers has been my guy since he took over. I drafted him in the 16th and have kept him every year since but this was his last year of eligibility. Cam is a nice replacement. :)

That is keeper drafting at its finest! Well done sir!

Thanks. I'm going to be insanely loaded with keepers this offseason. Hopefully I'll be able to move some for picks. If only I could get a worthwhile keeper at RB . . .

Keepers move up 2 rounds per season. It's just a shame I can only keep 3. My draft this year included:

Rd 5 - Kenny Britt - no real keeper value now w/the injury, though
Rd 6 - Steve Smith
Rd 7 - Vincent Jackson (keeper after drafting him in 9th last year)
Rd 8 - AJ Green
Rd 10 - Peyton Hillis (keeper after FA pickup last year)
Rd 14 - Rob Gronkowski
Rd 18 - Cam Newton

NotRickJames · 10-28-2011, 06:16 PM

I'm in deep ****, need a bye week fill in at D/ST.

Jags D, Chiefs D and Titans D are the top ones available.

Caddy · 10-28-2011, 08:48 PM

I need a 2 WR's and a Flex in my 16 team .5 ppr league.

Pierre Thomas v STL
Ryan Torain v BUF
Antonio Brown v NE
Sidney Rice v CIN
Jacoby Jones v JAC
Mike Thomas v HOU

I'm leaning towards Pierre, Antonio and Sidney.

bantx · 10-28-2011, 08:49 PM

Id go Pierre for sure, with ingram out him and sproles will be getting a load of work.

Agree with you, although I might also add Emmanuel Sanders because technically he's the one who's going to start. Brown gets more targets and has more receptions, but this could be the game where Emmanuel finally breaks out. Last year Hines Ward also sat the game out (I think) and Wallace got the start. He had 8 catches for 136 yards and 2 TDs, while Sanders had 5 catches for 41 yards and a TD. Some of it was in garbage time though.

TheBoyWonder22 · 10-28-2011, 10:48 PM

Shiancoe or Gronkowski this week?

yo123 · 10-28-2011, 11:19 PM

Gronk, not even close.

TheBoyWonder22 · 10-28-2011, 11:22 PM

That was my thought as well. Vishante just has a good matchup so I wanted to consider it.
ps: You're up in the bball draft.

Gronk absolutely destroyed the Steelers last year, we had no way of covering him.

5 catches, 72 yards, 3 TDs.

He was used in almost every single plays because the Patriots used a lot of two TE sets (blocking TEs that is. Gronkowski and Crumpler played extensively, Hernandez played only 6 snaps) and he was uncoverable in the end-zone. We tried with Lawrence Timmons, William ***, and a safety, and he beat all of them.

While repeating the game plan almost assuredly wont happen, Gronk could score in the redzone again. Hernandez too could have a huge game if the Pats decide to burn us over the middle like the Ravens did week 1. No one came close to be able to cover them.

holt_bruce81 · 10-29-2011, 05:24 AM

If DeMarco Murray has another solid game for the cowboys what do you guys expect when Felix comes back? Split?

AHungryWalrus · 10-29-2011, 02:47 PM

Just completed a keeper league trade of Beanie, Witten, Tone, Garcond for Freddy Jackson and Owen Daniels.

How'd I do? The only issue I had with it is that Beanie is young and Freddy is 30... but I have Charles coming back from injury next year, so I view him as a freebie.

Malaka · 10-29-2011, 03:07 PM

Romo @ PHI

or

Fitzpatrick vs. WAS

derza222 · 10-29-2011, 05:24 PM

With Daniel Thomas and Jahvid Best both out and my second and third backs not playing this week, Maurice Morris @ DEN or Reggie Bush @ NYG? Standard scoring, no PPR.

Torain, Brown, PT

Both good plays but i think Fitz has a higher floor as well as the same upside as romo so I'd go Fitz

Really a toss-up but i would go with Bush

Smooth Criminal · 10-30-2011, 09:50 AM

Couple dilemmas this week.

I have Peterson, Steven Jackson, Murray, Torian, Vincent Jackson, Brandon Marshall, and AJ Green.

I'm planning on starting Peterson, Murray, and Green, now just trying to pick between Torain and Steven Jackson and Vincent Jackson and Marshall. Right now I'm leaning for both Jacksons, but I think Torain could get a ton of carried against Buffalo.
