RB2: Kevin Smith @NO or Fred Jackson @NE?

YOU MAKE THE CALL

Detroit had the third-worst rushing attack in football last year, and Kevin Smith played in every game. I hear he's improved, but I'd go with Jackson.

In one league I have Michael Turner, Frank Gore, Larry Fitzgerald and Greg Jennings. Protecting all those left me without a pick 'til the 5th round. Which then left me with Ben Roethlisberger, Chad Pennington and Matt Cassel for QBs.

Fuck. I was kinda happy about that team until I just looked at that roster.

Fred Jackson's O-line is even worse than Smith's. Go with the Lion.

TS: BUF's suspect O-line vs NE's suspect front 7

polyphonic, the problem with the DET rushing game wasn't Kevin Smith, it was having to give up the run after the first quarter. I'm starting the fuck out of Megatron.

milo, QBs went early in my draft too, but Roethlisberger in 5 is wild. I picked up Schaub in Round 6. also wtf you're carrying 3 QBs?

I'm starting the fuck out of Megatron.

Of course. They'll be playing from behind, and have a better QB.

I don't think I took him until 9. There just weren't any decent (fantasy) QBs left at that point so I said fuck it.

Our leagues are either 17 or 18-man rosters (auction leagues require a TE), so I usually carry 3 QB, 4 RB, 5 WR, 2 K, 2 D

Ok, so I need some advice. My current team:

QB: Donovan McNabb, Kyle Orton
RB: Chris Johnson, Brian Westbrook, Fred Jackson, Tim Hightower, Jonathan Stewart, Cadillac Williams, and Chris Brown
WR: Terrel Owens, T.J. Housh, and Devin Hester
TE: Chris Cooley

My league is 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 FLEX, PPR.

At the moment, I've got a surplus of talented RB's. Chris Johnson + Brian Westbrook, unless something goes horribly wrong, will presumably always be starting at the RB position, which means I've got 3 producing RB's competing for the flex. I feel like my WR corps are a bit low, especially considering it's a PPR. So I'm thinking it might be worthwhile trading two of my excess RB's (Maybe Hightower on this huge week - 25 points - that he may not reproduce, with Fred Jackson - who also had a great week, 25 points - but won't be producing two weeks from now) for a first-string WR. Any ideas on who I should target?

Any opinions on who of these guys just had fluke weeks and who I should keep around? My bench scored 86 points this week (my starters only scored 122), so I think I'm in a strong position, but I've really got no idea how to put it together from here.

Btw, lol at that gif challops. Fred Jackson ended up scoring 25 points for me. :P

Look at some of the Colts wr's if Gonzalez's injury benches him for a while. That dude they got out of BYU looked alright last weekend. If you're looking to trade out for someone who's already taken, try Vincent Jackson. He's still under the radar with most people and the person in your league might be a gullible owner.

What's the chance Tim Hightower keeps producing big games? (If he keeps getting receptions, he'll be huge in my PPR league.)

His qb is Warner. He WILL get receptions.

That dude they got out of BYU looked alright last weekend.

Scratch that. My memory was playing tricks on me, because he only had 15 yards.

What do you guys think about offering Fred Jackson (and maybe T.O.?) for Steve Smith? Smith had a bad week with Delhomme sucking it up, but he's gotta be due for an up-and-coming, and the guy who owns him got slaughtered. He might look at Fred Jackson's RB numbers and hit confirm immediately.

(Just wanna make sure I'm not screwing myself trading Jackson with some up-value for Smith if Delhomme really does just disintegrate this season.)

Panthers are about to take on A.J. Feely at qb, so either Jake will start feeling pressure and step up or he will implode and Feely will come in and throw bombs to Steve Smith. I see some upside, but I wouldn't work too hard for it.

Alright. Hopefully he takes Fred Jackson for Steve Smith. Would be a nice coup.

Also, since it's ppr, you might want to think about going for Whitten and put him in your flex spot (if you can put a TE in there). He and Romo are in love.

Flex is just RB/WR, and no way I can pull Witten. He's on a Cowboy-stan's team.

There is such a dearth of QBs in my 2QBs-per-start, point-per-completion money league that my backups are Jeff Garcia and Mark Bulger. Which one do I start? I had McNabb, but he got hurt.

Tim Hightower will keep putting up those numbers with any QB if Ds continue to focus on not getting burned deep. Same with Fred Jackson for the next couple.

I still have the problem of too many players and not enough slots. T.O., T.J. Housh, Brian Westbrook, Chris Johnson, Devin Hester, Fred Jackson, Tim Hightower, and Cadillac Williams. I hate trying to figure out who to start and sit -- I always end up leaving a ton of points on the bench.

I always end up leaving a ton of points on the bench.

Welcome to the thrilling and disappointing world of Fantasy Football!

Some people don't have that problem! Last season I seriously left more points on the bench than any other team in my league. And this weak, I left 84 points on the bench and the next higher was 51.

This week*

I'm sitting on Gonzo and working in Isaac Bruce and or Devery Henderson if I can pick him up off the wire. I think I may have a problem.
Dump gonzo?

listen to me now believe me later: cadillac williams will braek heart all time

cadillac williams will braek heart all time

Yeah, he'll run his ass off until he blows another knee out. No, he doesn't have a third knee, but he'll find one and blow it out.

yahoo is ranking my rb's backwards from my draft :/ think i will sit slatton though

cadillac
marion barber
slatton
forte

kevin smith (v. min)
v.
darren sproles (v. balt)

25y/1 punt return league which makes sproles more valuable than otherwise...still, untested as a starter and v. the ravens? tell me I'm making the right decision w/ playing him.

Sproles might not return kicks tomorrow since he's the featured back, fyi.

one team's RBs:
Michael Turner
Brian Westbrook
Ray Rice
Fred Jackson
Michael Bush

same team's WRs
Colston
TO
Britt
Greg Olsen
Fasano
Kevin Walter

I really need to package Jackson and Bush for a decent WR. Unless Cutler learns how to throw, in which case Olsen might not be completely useless.

PI trades Jonathan Stewart, Car RB to Clowney
PI trades Cadillac Williams, TB RB to Clowney
STC trades Correll Buckhalter, Den RB to Insurgents
STC trades Donnie Avery, StL WR to Insurgents
STC trades Cowboys D/ST, Dal D/ST to Insurgents

I'm PI. Whatcha all think?

I don't see what you gain by doing this.

lol suchhhh a right decision, he got me as many points as drew brees did

Guys, ESPN is predicting Westbrook does 8 points and that Tim Hightower does 22. Westbrook just did 16 + 10, and Hightower did 25 and 18. I'm already starting Chris Johnson (obv. lol) and Fred Jackson at Flex (might as well use him before he's all used up). Can I really possibly start Hightower over Westbrook???

did you see the miami game??? of course you can imo

DeAngelo Williams, Felix Jones, and Ronnie Brown. Who should I drop?????

You have to drop one?

just dropped isaac bruce for johnny knox; do i play knox or Pierre Garcon instead of welker if he's still questionable?

Oops. When I say "drop" I really mean :bench."

Can I really possibly start Hightower over Westbrook???

Westbrook might not play - if he plays, I'd go with him.

DeAngelo Williams, Felix Jones, and Ronnie Brown

Definitely play Ronnie Brown. If Barber doesn't play go with Jones, if Barber plays go with DeAngelo.

Knox or Pierre Garçon

I would think you could do better than either, but Knox is the better choice.

T.J. Housh or Devey Henderson?

"I would think you could do better than either"

3 WR league. I got Vincent Jackson, an injured Anthony Gonzo and Welker, Dev. Henderson and Knox/Garcon. Hard luck to start the season.

mordy i'd play henderson unless you're a seneca wallace fan

henderson is like the ernest givins of the saints, which is to say he might not have huge #1 receiver stats at the end of the season but he'll have a couple of games where he's gonna go off for 180 yds and 2 tds b/c of some long bombs from brees. housh is the #1 in seattle but i feel like he's about = to devery. might be a toss-up?
