Fantasy Football 2011: Jumping the Gun

[recuperi]

Sounds pretty far fetched. Arizona traded off their #1 CB remember, it wasn't like they were playing the dream team or anything. Both Woodson and Matthews have DPOY awards around their waist. Pressure and coverage up, Gad's hopes of having an INT-less season dashed, and Smitty goes for 0 catches. Book it

Spoiler: show

not really, but MJD over Steve Smith regardless. More chances for the end zone with him, which is what you really want

[Headspace]

Do I start Hakeem Nicks or bench him for Johnny Knox?

[Moss]

If Nicks is active I don't think you can bench him.

[Cleverness]

Wait till tomorrow to decide on Nicks, that's when he goes back to practice and makes a 'decision'(it'll still go down to game time I assume, but what he says could indicate whether to start him)

[Gadritan]

Gad's hopes of having an INT-less season dashed

Fore the record, 1:1 TD:INT for the entire season would give me a rubbery one.

[Headspace]

If Nicks is active I don't think you can bench him.

Its a Monday night game, that's what scares me.

[Moss]

Ahh yeah, that complicates things. Wait until the last report on Nicks' status. Can also pick up Domenik Hixon just in case.

This is a tough week for me, with K.moreno's hamstring.

Pick 2: Lawfirm, Hightower, Mike Tolbert, Moreno.

Still debating Jermicheal Finley or Owen Daniels as well. That ankle scares me, and Daniels is playing Miami so thats two +'s

[Moss]

I'd go Hightower(should get plenty of touches) and Tolbert(I trust the SD offense and he gets goal-line)

Start Finley unless he is inactive.

[Tweek]

Agree with Moss on all

[Boyiee]

I better not be playing you this week, cause then I can't trust you lol

I have it set that way as it is anyway, so further confirmation helps. Just really worried about Finley, but its only 2-5pts anyway, and this week won't be decided by that little considering who I'm against.

Lawfirm and Hightower - judging solely by this past week, NE has a better run defense than SD, and Moreno should be last resort.

Hard to say whether playing Miami is a + since they were playing a team that relies on multiple TEs. If Foster ends up playing this week I'd go Finley, if not give Daniels his week. Strictly judgment call, but that's how I'd be looking at it

[Tyche]

Well, Kubiak isn't Belichick and Schaub isn't Brady, so I wouldn't expect Daniels to go out and drop 150, although he's certainly capable. Miami has a new guy in the nickel, he's more skilled than Sapp, but he was on IR all last season, so he may be rusty. I think Nolan will do a better job of disguising coverages and I don't think Schaub will be as good at recognizing those coverages as Brady, who plays Miami twice a year. There's positives and negatives to Daniels. With all that said, Beason is out for Carolina, and he was pretty damn good in pass coverage. They're going to miss him a lot. If I had Finley, I'd start Finley. You start your stars. I have Daniels, and I'm not out looking for a replacement. I'll happily start him.

pick 2: vernon davis, santana moss, davone bess

pick 1: ingram, tomlinson, woodhead

fucking...

[Tyche]

Moss and Tomlinson for sure.

Joseph will be on Marshall, and I don't know if they have anyone worth a damn to cover Bess. I'd probably go Vernon Davis, simply because of upside. Ingram v Woodhead...lol. Ingram is going to split carries with Thomas, and get goal line work. They'll probably be at the goal line a lot and should be up quite a bit against Carolina, and may want the rookie to get some extra work in. I'd go Ingram.

[Headspace]

If I want to get Hixon (if he's available), should I drop Johnny Knox, or just start Knox instead of Nicks (if it's looking bad)

[archibaldcrane]

Ok, so

Hightower (@ARI), Bradshaw (vs. STL), Ingram, or Pierre Thomas (@CHI)? Pick two. I could probably ask this fucking question every goddamn week.

ok ok looking at the opponents my answer is completely obvious.

NO plays chicago, not car

and I said choose 1 of those RBs ;(

Just start Knox if that's what the decision comes down to.

@archi Hightower and Bradshaw. I wouldn't ever bench Bradshaw, he is a clear tier ahead of your other backs. Hightower is also a tier above your NO backs since he is getting all of the touches.

@demos VD and Moss. VD is the only one that can still produce in that offense, good match up for the Redskins pass offense also. For your other question, just go with your gut. Those guys are all roughly the same, personally I like LT with that soft JAC matchup

As a rule of thumb, I don't start any RBs against PIT, BAL or CHI unless there are no other options.
