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

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.

what i meant to say was if WALLACE didn't have such a great matchup...

Guys, I finished tied for 2nd place overall in my league this year, but because of horrific division rules, I'm not in the playoffs. This is ridiculous :'( Because of me they're eliminating all divisions for next year.

might as well go full retard and use a bowl system

^^ roffle

my ten-team league: with one game left, only three teams are mathematically eliminated!

missed playoffs by .12 points. fuck my life.

put up the second best point-total in my league by a wide margin... but got Rodgers'd out of the title game. in my meaningless consolation battle for third, which pair do I start out of Ricky Williams (vs. HOU), Jamaal Charles (@CIN), and Cedric Benson (vs. KC)?

damn

tbh i would go with williams and charles for the former's more consistent production and the latter's explosiveness. i think any two you choose will be ok in the end though.

that's my call too. i'm unsure about jamaal on the road, but CIN's stud NT is still out and if the bengals get up early LJ will be stealing touches. tempted to start charles and benson just to make the game more fun irl but fuck it i don't even care about winning any more and i love ricky.

more fun call: do i bench megatron in favor of josh cribbs? or maybe even hakeem nicks?

Didn't start Jerome Harrison last week. Fuck the world.

benched ryan grant in the championship game, fml

also benched roddy white, f this g earth

Didn't replace Stephen Jackson in time; didn't get a good game out of Drew Brees. Just take this pen and stab me in the heart.

I swear to God I will never even THINK about drafting Drew Brees or any other quarterback until round three EVER AGAIN.

PPR league, snake draft and I'm drafting second. The guy drafting first already said he's going with Chris Johnson. That means I can either draft AP (super consistent excellent player in every way) or Ray Rice (also excellent plus tons of catches making him especially valuable in a PPR league). What do I do?

rice had 35 more receptions last year so what like 2 pts/week on catches? check the rest of your scoring and see if rice is really offering an appreciable advantage, because ap is the better player.

AP will be even better if Favre doesn't play, but yeah... I'd still pick AP.

What would they have given you in terms of total points in 2009 using your league's current settings?

Ray Rice did 326 and AP did 331. (MJD did 334 and CJ did 405)

Do you have a penalty for fumbles? I think there's a pretty good chance that AP will fumble less than he did last year.

or at the very least, he won't lose 6 of his 7 fumbles like he did last year.

Yes penalty for fumbles.

Ray Rice only had 8 touchdowns last year? Huh.

I think I'd definitely go with AP now that I think about it.

yeah

rice is a good player but i wouldn't be surprised to see him regress

Also, the Ravens will probably feature the passing game more heavily than last year now that they have Boldin and the rookie TEs, whereas the Vikings could hypothetically feature it less if Favre retires (lol).

Now I've gotta figure out if I can take 2 WR's in 2nd + 3rd round (something like Steve Smith, DJax, Miles Austin, Colston range quality probably).

should be fine--how big is the league?

12 teams
