Fantasy Football 2011: Jumping the Gun

Didn't he had injuries issues last year? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

[Bregor]

That's a tough one. I agree with you on VJax...but Nicks is going to be Eli's only real target, so he should be eating up TDs on top of yards. With Mathews looking a little stronger and Gates in the mix, I'm not so sure VJax will have the same consistency as Hicks from week to week from a FF perspective.

I think Manningham will have plenty of targets, picking up most of what Boss and Smith got. I expect Nicks's numbers to be about the same, maybe even slightly worse.

That said, he and VJax are pretty damn close on my board. Go with your gut. If you're wrong, you're wrong. But if you keep Nicks and VJax explodes, it really sucks.

Yeah, but he's a pretty tough dude. Only had 2 seasons so far, so I wouldn't start considering him to be injury prone.

Bregor is right too. I just think that SD has so many more targets and ways to get yrds/score, that VJax will have those low scoring games. Rivers doesn't play favorites, but VJax has that big play ability, hence why he'll blow up for 100yrds and a TD or 2 one game, then might get 30-40yrds the next. That's all I meant. Overall they'll probably have similar stats by the years end, but Nicks is probably going to be the more consistent one.

Flip a coin.

For the money league, we seem to have only one snag wit the date/time (Stiker, going to a Rangers game). I'll try to fix it, but if I can't, we push forward with the 30th at 8:15EST.

Anyone have a problem with the 31st (Wednesday) at the same time?

[Headspace]

Me. Can't be on that night until after 10:30pm EST or so.

[Headspace]

Fuck a Rangers game.

that would be right in the middle of 20 man, but we can prob adjust if needed

[Tyche]

Fuck a Rangers game.

^ I pretty much agree with this, except, would extend it to all of baseball

What about the day before, 29th, Monday, same time?

If Stiker has an iPhone, there's a draft app for that!

[Plow]

Ok, I've figured out who everyone is in 20 man, first post in who's who thread is filled out. Thanks again for the group tyche.

Now, the 2 people missing from the group are skirk and ikethegreat. Ike is someone that posted in this thread that they were interested in any league and I pm'd, and he joined up. It's now his turn in the draft. If he doesn't show up (I've contacted through email and pm) within a day or so, here's what I'll do: someone else that's interested in playing in the league can go ahead and draft for him for the 2 rounds being done on here, and if he doesn't respond in time for the rest of the draft, they can take over his spot.

Anyway, if anyone knows how to contact ike or has heard from skirk recently, lemme know.

[Tyche]

I actually prefer to have all my players on the same buy. Best to have a shitty team for one week than a mediocre team for 3 or 4.

[Tyche]

As far as your teams, 1 is a crapshoot. If Vick and MJD stay healthy and McGahee doesn't vulture as many goal line carries as he has in preseason/camp, you'll be fine. Start Santana Moss over Collie, no question about it.

Collie will be on the bench to start the season at least..... gotta see he can survive a hit first. Moss was a complete sleeper pick, did not grab him til the 12th round.

[tyven]

Keep 1:

Hakeem Nicks
Vincent Jackson

I want to say VJack will have a monster year...

vjax! more durable, doesn't have to face namdi twice a year. namdi and nicks both exclusively play left side of the field. thats gonna be two weeks of pain + bye week + any potential inuries.

For Moss, that was a steal.

[jmc]

LT in the 11th, Moss in the 12th...... Was kinda stoked about these for some reason lol

jackson has to go against champ bailey twice a year and he pulled a hammy last year as well

both guys also have to face revis
