ILNFL™ Dirty Dozen: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread

Then-again, there have been plenty of luckless people this year. Examples include owners of Jamal Charles, Chris Johnson, Peyton Manning (OK, you were forewarned on that one), any Colt WR, any Jet RB, etc. Long live Fred Jackson!

Hester, Burress or Nate Washington this week?
I'm thinking hester just because of the return yards but Burress might just have a big day

i don't know... i'm still really skeptical about burress. touchdowns are really fickle unless you're like megatron or andre johnson and even last week he didn't really do anything outside of the 10 yard line so idk. but it's not like the other 2 guys are that great. i don't see hester doing much on the receiving end vs the eagles.

thing about hester is he'll either unexpectedly drop 27 pts or give you 4 pts. nate wash had those 2 tds but not many catches, right? i think the best receivers will get you good pts even without TDs, wash and plax w/o the tds aren't spectacular. i dunno.

i feel like hester is kinda guaranteed to come through with 7 or 8 points and burress or washington could goose egg or put up 18.

i think you're right about hester being shutdown offensively though i imagine he'll be targeted. i do think he'll put up 100+ return yards tho

yeah i'd go w/ hester. the return yards will be there and he should be able to pick up some receiving yards as well. that's about as solid as you can hope for out of those 3 guys.

hester is the safe bet, plus he might nab a lucky deep td a la devery hendu.

Hey gang, don't know if other people are seeing this as well, but the add/drop seems not to be working. As of 12:05PM NYC we aren't allowed to add or drop players until after this weekend (Nov. 9th). Guess it must have to do with their programming and Daylight Savings Time. I tried to add David Hawthorne and drop Sean Lee (just announced as out) and it won't let me. Anyone else seeing this?

OK, it appears Yahoo screwed up, there are many rants over on the message board. Looks like they did messup on Daylight Savings Time.

had a problem but i kept refreshing the screen until it worked

this was a connection problem btw and not dst

Refreshing still isn't solved it here - all available players are noted as on Waviers (not Free Agents), so they're not available to pickup until Nov. 9th.

For my other league, would you start:

Cam Newton @ Detroit
Carson Palmer @ Minny
or
Alex Smith vs. Arizona

palmer imo, he has scored well in his 2 starts. niners prob won't need to throw. newton has highest upside but biggest gamble. if you are desperate for a result go all in with newton.

Newton's rushing adds so much, that's why I struggle with this.

Last week Palmer outscored Newton 17-14 even though Palmer had a far superior game.

I had to go with Ponder this week in a pinch. I've been riding Brees so long, I'd forgotten he hadn't had a bye week yet.
