Fantasy Football 2011: Jumping the Gun

[Melena]

Gah, I'm fucked by bye weeks this week, but here goes. 1 RB position. Alfonso Smith of Arizona (wells is out gdi) vs Baltimore, or Delone Carter of the Colts vs the Titans. Both are road games. Smith will most likely be the primary back, Carter I won't know till the Colts announce the status of Joseph Addai.

Gah nvm, I forgot Turner is on a bye week this week as well so I have to start both. Wells, McGAhee, Starks, and Turner all on byes or injured this week sucks.

[Tweek]

doesn't SD have one of the lowest FP scoring DEF in the NFL?

[Ishido]

Need 1 RB out of:

Ahmad Bradshaw
Steven Jackson
or
pick up Demarco Murray from FA

I feel like Bradshaw is the safest option, since I doubt Murray puts up another stupid week and Jackson can suffer from StL being fucking terrible.

[Headspace]

How is Murray still in your FA?

Your league is bad.

[Valisk]

Thursday waiver wire in NFL.com leagues.

Should've been picked up before last weeks game.

Ok so this week all my WR seem to be close but i can't decide. Pick 3 out of: Brandon Marshall, Brandon LLoyd, Jabar Gaffney, David Nelson, Torrey Smith, and Micheal Jenkins. I'm leaning towards the first 2 as my starters but i'm not sure about Lloyd with Bradford still being out. No idea who the 3rd would be.

[Omnipotent]

Flex Option: Maurice Morris, Bernard Scott, Deion Branch, Delone Carter.

I am leaning towards Maurice IF he starts, Scott if Morris doesn't start ( even though SEA has best run defense). I really want to start Branch, but I feel like NE is going to have a tough game through the air against PIT.

this.


Also why are people acting like someone will have trouble running on Philly? 10th worst rush def in yards and per yahoo: "Philadelphia has given up the 3rd most fantasy points to Running Backs this season"

neways, I'm glad I picked him up in my two leagues and started him last week, I'm definitely starting him this week as well vs PHI

[Conrad]

Okay, these defenses are all free agent options for this week:

SF DEF vs. CLE
HOU DEF vs. JAX
CIN DEF @ SEA

...which one do I get? It's an 8-man league, before anyone asks.

[Cail]

be like me, go with the bagels!

[Cleverness]

Bengals seems like the best bet really, although i'm skeptical since they're playing Seahawks at home. I'd personally go with Texans.

[Tweek]

SF DEF is avail on waivers wtf? I would grab them asap. check their schedule the rest of the year, I'm rolling with them every week from here on out in one of my leagues. Especially if your fantasy league gives DEF credit for punt/kickoff returns with the threat of Teddy Ginn Jr.

SF is 2nd highest FP scoring DEF in the NFL atm.

[Conrad]

Picked up both Cincy and San Francisco (so no one else could take them while I mulled it over). Probably going to wait until the last minute to decide.

[Valisk]

I picked up SF Def as well.

Keep on eye on Tavaris Jackson and Marshawn Lynch. If they are both playing, go with Frisco. If neither is playing, go with the Bengals. If one is playing, flip a coin.

Implying tardvaris is good.

Lance Moore @STL or Jabar Gaffney @Buf

HILLIS @SF or Jackie Battle v.SD

lol

Lance Moore @STL or Jabar Gaffney @Buf

HILLIS @SF or Jackie Battle v.SD

WR seems a toss up. Moore is the #2 WR, but like 4th in line behind Coslton, Graham, and the RBs. Buffalo's pass defense sucks iirc.

Wait on hillis, see how he practices. I think i heard he fully participated today, so thats a good sign
