Fantasy Football 2011: Jumping the Gun

[Tyr]

A new problem surfaces: Stafford v. MIN or Cam-Cam-Thank-You-Ma'am v. ATL

All TDs are 6 pts.

Stafford has a great matchup, though MIN has a great pass rush. Cam didn't do too well v. ATL earlier this year, but has a higher ceiling than Stafford I'd say given his 1-3 rushing touchdowns he can net you...ATL is short-handed at CB (Kelvin Hayden / Brent Grimes are both out).

They're both no-brainer starts, but I have them both on the same squad...who do I pick? Locked in at Stafford right now, though a part of me is worried he's going to get injured in the first quarter on a Jared Allen sack, and then I'm going to lose my playoff game.

[Kurp]

If AP suits up, don't know if I'd consider Gerhart, even with AP's injury (he loves playing Detroit).

Donald Brown v. BAL?

What's Bradshaw's injury situation? If he practiced all week (I have him in no leagues, so I don't keep tabs on him), then I'd start him, and then it's a toss-up between Brown and Gerhart. If AP is a go, Brown. Otherwise, Gerhart.

I have AP on that team also, its BGE. He's out. This is do or die for the playoffs also...

I'm going with Toby and Ahmad. I feel so bad with those RBs though for a do-or-die week.

Gerhart should be fine because our league is PPR. I expect checkdowns, and he'll run as hard as he always does. I think he'll get around 24 touches for 90 total yards and a score.


EDIT: Also people, Kevin Smith is inactive. Kurp, if you need help at RB grab Maurice Morris.

[Akiyama]

I'd go with Cam versus Atlanta's pass D personally.

Aki has Morris, there's really no one good in that league to pick up.

So f'ing frustrating how Jermichael Finley never does shit...

was more frustrating havign gates+tony g, and one person in the playoffs has dustin keller as his TE, and another has finley, and neither wanted one of my TEs...

I'd rather have two guys that can produce than one effing bust that can't do shit...

I can't tell what's worse though -- the fact that Rodgers looks at Finley 2% of the time, or that Finley drops the ball when he actually DOES get a look.

Here's the breakdown of the BG money league barring anything unforeseen.

(1)Akiyama v (4)Gadritan
(2)Headspace v (3)Recuperi

Akiyama has the points title pretty much sewn up despite being 3rd coming into the final week. $25.

[Gadritan]

Pretty excited considering my team is all kinds of mediocre. Took on an extra job to get caught up on a few things and was busting out 70hr work weeks on average, so it was tough to keep up with wtf was going on as well.

2/2 playoffs in $$$ leagues this year. 5/7 overall. huzzah.

[Tyche]

You should thank your Tebows, you were in fourth place last week, lost two strait and didn't move down in the rankings.

[Headspace]

I've lost to Recuperi twice already this season I think.

I'M DUE

[Headspace]

yo if Hakeem Nicks puts up another 60 points I can get the points $$

[Dimmauk]

Killed Boyiee today in BG west. LOL

[Gadritan]

You should thank your Tebows, you were in fourth place last week, lost two strait and didn't move down in the rankings.

That's precisely why I have him on my team. I'm destined to win. Although, isn't that a conflict of interest if Tebow helps you gamble?

F8U12

DeMarco's injury (and Jermichael Finley being a worthless dickhole) cost me one playoff game, and POSSIBLY a second (unless Dez Bryant gets off his ass)

Goddamnit...

[Zoolander]

Man, my 20-man team got hot at the right time. Into the final four, happy no matter what happens. Going up against Gad next week will be tough.

And went 13-0 in the BG Mad Hatter league...love that scoring system. Since I rocked the reg season it probably means I'll lose next week lol. Fucking McFadden needs to get healthy.

[Chun Liroy]

I SEE YOU TYCHE.

Hope you weren't gonna make it to the playoffs.

[Akiyama]

How does the money for highest scoring team work? At the end of the playoffs? Or just regular season?

May have been ousted out of a chance for IDP playoffs, ran into a buzzsaw

[Zeb]

Really? Going to lose in 2QB to the worst team in the league...
