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

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.

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.

omar is OTM i think

yeah, i just fear HEARTBREAK

as of today, looks like worst case scenario may be LJ stealin' mop-up carries

yeah, see if i field him and LJ vultures two or three touchdowns and i end up with an 8pt day ahma be FURIOUS

btw I feel u - I'm choosing between Benson, Ricky Williams, Forte @STL, and Kevin Smith

that's tuff! i think Forte is a must, but I dunno about the rest.

yeah tuff choices forte could easily go off for 28 yards on the ground and another 37 through the air!

also fred jackson and jamaal charles are mysteriously still avail in my league

really tempted to bench forte for jackson but the rams defense is too appealing

get jamaal stat

Please help me!!

Brees or Big Ben???

HA HA HA! you migh tsay, but the 'Skins D is much MUCH better than poeple givem credit for.

Forte could also get three touchdowns and 125 on the ground.
but yes lolbears

One of the tools *I* look for in a wide receiver is the ability to catch footballs.

Unlike Matt Millen, apparently!

brandon jacobs just murdered me

this was the week i finally got done with brandon jacobs and benched him for fred jackson. not my finest decision but looks like i am gonna win anyway.

So...first week of fantasy playoffs. I'm the 8th seed squaring up against the 1st seed. He's 12-1 on the season. I finished 5-9 and somehow made it in. Still, my team is better than my record indicates.

QB BRADY (NE)
RB A. PETERSON (MIN)
RB L. MARONEY (NE)
RB J. JONES (SEA)
RB B. WELLS (ARI)
RB B. WESTBROOK (PHI)
WR R. MOSS (NE)
WR C. OCHOCINCO (CIN)
WR P. HARVIN (MIN)
WR P. GARCON (IND)
WR R. MEACHEM (NO)
TE J. FINLEY (GB)
TE F. DAVIS (WAS)
DST BILLS
K G. HARTLEY (NO)

We start one QB, two RBs, two WRs, one TE, one K & one flex offensive player (QB/RB/WR/TE).
So, here's my question: Who do I start at my flex? And who do I start at RB2? Maroney, Wells or Jones?

I'm leaning towards a lineup of Brady, Peterson, Maroney, Moss, Meachem, Harvin, Finley, Bills D & Hartley. Hate to relegate Garcon to the bench again after so many good fantasy performances in a row. I'm pretty certain about benching Ochocinco, despite his big game (it was against DET, after all). Other than last week, he's been pretty unspectacular. But do I play him or Garcon instead of one of my other WRs? Moss could put up huge numbers any week, but he's been fairly quiet. Meachem, Harvin and Garcon have all been hot for the past month. I seem to always pick the wrong guy in situations like this. Halp!

QB: Drew Brees
RB: Jerome Harrison
RB: Chris Brown (!!!)
WR: Mike Wallace (or Hines Ward, if he plays)
WR: Robert Meachem
TE: Antonio Gates
D/ST: either Titans (v. St. Louis) or Cardinals (v. San Fran). Probably Titans.

Injuries are absolutely killing me. I lost Ronnie Brown, I lost DeAngelo Williams, and now I'm losing Hines Ward. Fuck.

xpost - none of your choices for RB2 are v exciting. maroney was scoring well while the other ne backs were banged up but sammy morris took a lot of touches and a rush td of off him against miami. i would still probably go with him because carolina's run d is injured and leaky of late.

mr. snrub,
definitely go w/ TEN in that one. SF has a pretty good offense this year. so there's nobody better than mike wallace at wr in your league's free agent pool? i find that surprising.

Thanks, I'll go with TEN, then. Nope, nobody better than Mike Wallace. I'm in a 12-team league, and the top projected free agent WRs are Louis Murphy, Brian Hartline, Earl Bennett, Davone Bess, James Jones, and Mohammad Massaquoi. Yuck.

if he didn't have such a great matchup (cleveland), i would be tempted to go with bess instead. he also has a great matchup against jacksonville's soft secondary. however, if ward's out, that'll definitely help wallace get more passes thrown his way.
