Fantasy Football 2011: Jumping the Gun

[Bregor]

I have Fred Jackson in two leagues and love it. I knew he'd be good but not this good.

Okay, pick 1:
HILLIS/whichever handcuff is necessary when he sits out @ HOU
Lawfirm vs. NYG
McGahee @ OAK

...My RBs after Turner are incredibly slim, and I have no idea how or why.

Lawfirm.

[Demosthenes11]

pick 2:

pierre thomas vs TB
mark ingram vs TB
ryan grant @ SD
javon ringer vs CIN
LT @ BUF

orz

[Plow]

pick 2:

no

[Demosthenes11]

no fucking kidding lol

AD bye week and my other RB spot has been a mess all year

[Akiyama]

I can just see the Saints up 21-0 by the first quarter and Blount riding the bench all game...orz

Nah, I don't see it going that way. Yeah, they'll be pissed after getting humiliated by the Rams.. but if you've gotta go Greene or Blount..

And I dunno.. I may take Oakland over KC as far as Defenses go. What's Tebow gonna do? Tebow all game? Sounds like a good plan to me.

[Conrad]

KC has good corners, Matt Moore can't throw the football or
OAK has decent corners, Tebow Tebows

Kind of a wash

[Chun Liroy]

If you don't have DeMarco, I'd pick him up this week. I'd expect Garrett to have a similar gameplan they had against the rams, meaning excessive DMM carries.

js.

[Tweek]

I could have grabbed KC D this week since I got DET D on bye but once I took a closer look I quickly decided against it. Most of their FP have been the last 2 games, they have a terrible pass rush and rarely get sacks. If you look at standard scoring league 35 of their total 56 points were against OAK which included a QB who practiced for half a week and knew 15 plays and the other was.. Kyle Boller.

8 of their 13 total INTs were in the last 2 games.
They have a total of 9 sacks this year which is the lowest in the NFL (3 last game)
They have 2 fumble recoveries this year both happened vs SD and one of them I don't need to remind you how it happenederp

I like to look at sacks and points allowed when judging fantasy defenses. TDs are obviously much harder to predict.

turnovers are a good stat too

[Cail]

just got aj green+gates+5th rd for a 2nd rd (after 2 rds of keepers) feelsgood.jpg

[Moss]

turnovers are a good stat too

Well yeah, lol. The point was that TDs are what lead to huge fantasy days and those are almost impossible to predict.

gotcha yea...a team with a decent ST + DEF is always a bonus too, like the Bears with Hester (if ur league does return td)

[Moss]

Yeah Hester is one exception since you can basically count on him for a few TDs each year.

The worst is when your defense plays really solid and only gives up like 10 points, then your opponents defense sucks hardcore with like 35 points allowed but they also had a return TD and a pick 6 so they outscore you.

Also I wish turnover return TDs points didn't count against your team. But then you have the issue of a turnover return starting your fantasy defense inside the 10 or 5 and you are basically in the same situation. I guess you just have to dill with it.

Our league does Points Against, so pick6/fumble return/etc dont count against ur def

[Moss]

I don't get it. Are points against and points allowed not the same thing? Every league I have played in just counts all of the points the opposing team scores.

[Cail]

I didnt know about it until this year during the year. Idk when we changed it. But yea, I gets Pts Allowed and Pts Against is different

I asked if a pick6 or somethign counted against me during a poker game with my buddies in my league, and they all said no

[Moss]

I just remember starting the Cowboys defense against the Jets and Lions when Romo pick 6'd hard

[Akiyama]

I'm co confused, lol. If your defense, say the Bears.. gets a pick 6, it should be a huge boost in your point totals. Are you talking about if the other defense you're going against gets a pick 6, it wouldn't count against your own defense or something? Is that what you mean?

[Cail]

Yea thats brutal hardcore. I have the Packers DEF so yea...dont have to worry about that (had bengals def during their bye week this past week, again, feelsgood.jpg)
