YOU PLAY. TO WIN. THE GAME. Request and offer FANTASY FOOTBALL advice HERE

Start two of:
Cedric Benson @BAL
Ricky Williams vs NYJ
Kevin Smith vs PIT
Fred Jackson vs CLE

ceddy and freddy

i an dead last in ilx league so do the opposite

I would play kevin smith, partly cause I have him and everytime I don't play him I regret it. and I'm not playing him, so he's gonna do well.

I've got the #2 waiver spot this week. Think I should drop Jabar Gaffney for Miles Austin?

Note: Lance Moore is also available. Maybe I should grab him before I take Austin?

I certainly would get rid of Gaffney either way.

btw thanks for the advice guys - went with Benson and Smith but it turned out to be moot as I ended up with 2.3 points from my WR1/WR2/WR3 combined. LOL.

So Moore or Austin?

Lance Moore imo. Austin might be the Massaquoi of Week 5, and Brees is a better qb.

good call on moore

Cedric Benson vs. Chicago or Steve Slaton vs Niners? OPO

I'm feeling Slaton is due for a big game.

My turn:
Cadillac Williams vs. New England, Jonathan Stewart vs. Buffalo, or Fred Jackson vs. Carolina? OPO

i'd go stewart

yeah running on buffalo is something that should work--their front is so small and carolina's still a good running team.

i just want you all to think about how bad each of these 11 teams is, btw

Panthers
Seahawks
Bills
Raiders
Lions
Redskins
Chiefs
Browns
Titans
Buccaneers
Rams

wrong thread

I have Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberger in my money league. Should I try and get a #2 WR (which I desperately need. I've been going with Torry Holt and Hakeem Nicks all season) for Big Ben? Or is the possibility of injury to my boy Brees too great?

I'd def trade Ben away for a #2 WR. First of all, the difference between QB's isn't too high, unless you're maybe talking about the top 1-3 (of whom you've already got one). Hell, I'd trade Brees AND Ben for someone like Orton and grab some superplayers. Top ranked QB's are for chumps.

Trade Big Ben for a #2 receiver + a lesser backup QB

no no, do not trade brees. if you've got a dude who could throw for 40 tds, you keep him imo. maybe you trade him away for an underrated mostly-sure thing like schaub + another first round level guy, but otherwise no.

The problem with trading Roethlisberger is here's the highest-ranking free agent quarterbacks in my league: Trent Edwards, Kevin Kolb, Seneca Wallace, Matthew Stafford, Byron Leftwich, Josh Johnson. So if I lose Brees for the year I am absolutely fucked.

who's the saints backup qb? it's a good system, i imagine whoever is behind him would be at least decent.

Mark Brunell

This is why I advocate doing a 2 for 1.

Battle of the Williams:

Ricky Williams at Jets or DeAngelo Williams at Cards?
I'm leaning toward Ricky.

Also, would you take LDT and Mario Manningham for Deangelo? I also have Benson, Slaton and Ricky in a 2RB league, soooo....

I'd go with Ricky, because the Dolphins burned the Jets on the ground last game, and the Giants had shit for ground yards against the Redbirds on Sunday.

Benson will be steady production all season (barring injury), and you can alternate Slaton and Ricky based on matchups. Is someone trying to trade you LDT and Manningham or are you trying to deal them yourself? If you have Deangelo already, keep him.

they're trying to trade for Dangelo. I'm loaded at RB; WR is Vincent Jackson, Johnny Knox, Sidney Rice and Andre Caldwell, which in a 3 WR league is kinda thin... would prefer to deal one top 20 RB for one top 20 WR, but no one is buying. Manningham is meant to answer that but feast or famine Eli has me doubting him.

Dunno I feel about Manningham now that Nicks is back.

(dunno HOW I feel)

i'm going ricky by same reasoning. Little nervous DeAngelo has a blowout game and I end up a schmuck.

in the problems you dont mind having category - start 3 of the following:

Slaton
ricky williams
addai
thomas jones

i'd leave out addai, personally.

it's tuff tho, last stuff i read (a day or 2 ago) said donald brown would be out this wk

Guys, my season is kinda fucked. Cooley is out for the season, Westbrook has suffered a concussion, T.O. was never a good WR pick...

I am starting slaton/ricky/forte. slaton and forte are both vs terrible run D's.

xpost those are good picks for 2007

I'm currently winning 127 to 111. He still has Brees and Saints D to play, I still have Devery Henderson. Any chance I win this one?

no.

if brees tosses a couple TDs to devery, you might be in luck. however devery is feast or famine and he's just as likely to score 2 pts as he is 20. i do not, i hate to admit, like your chances.

i hate to admit it because i'm counting on devery (and curtis lofton) in ilnfl to not only make up 11 pts in deficit but to also score enough pts to cancel out any additional pts michael turner might score. i'm screwed tbqf.

Shockey's been stealing WR touchdowns of late, so yeah... echoing the above negative sentiments.

I'd give you a 20% chance...the saints would have to have a horrible, horrible game *and* devery would have to do pretty well at the same time.

If LeSean McCoy hadn't broken off that big one at the end of the Iggles game, I'd be more like 30 points up. Much more comfortable margin. But I can't exactly be angry for the Iggles kicking ass, right?

Ricky williams(me) for Antonio Gates (him) when I have Benson and Deangelo Williams at RB is a good call, right?

i say yes

i did too; NOW he wants to do Matt Ryan, DeAngelo and Ricky Williams for Gates and Peyton.
I don't think i dare to eat this peach

Don't get rid of DeAngelo in any trade.

NOW he's grasping. pass.

three weeks ago i would've been all over it.

Okay, tough one here and it's important cuz if i win i'm in the playoffs:
Pick two - Cedric Benson OR Larry Johnson vs Detroit, Deangelo Williams vs Tampa Bay and Steve Slaton vs Jacksonville.

I'm leaning to Slaton and Williams because of weird injuries and timesharing but DETROIT

i'd go benson and williams, but keep your eye on the gameday news w/r/t the cincy backfield. they're saying he will start, though.
