Fantasy Football 2011: Jumping the Gun

Edit: If Otah plays for CAR today, DWill may be a good option over Addai though. If he's out, I wouldn't touch him.

last i heard otah was out with a concussion..lemme check

Edit:

The Carolina Panthers are listing right tackle Jeff Otah (concussion) as questionable. That means rookie Byron Bell likely will get the start in his place.

Flex: Anquan Boldin @ Tenn or Santana Moss vs. Arizona?

I also have Reggie Bush, but I'm pretty sure I want to stick with a WR.

Standard non-PPR

[kisada]

prob moss. zona's secondary means big days for opposing wr's until they get things fixed. can't fault anyone for going with Q though.

also prob go with floyd/henderson, from post that was a few back. henderson will be pretty solid until colston comes back

Baltimore or Green Bay Defense?

Baltimore is playing Tennessee, I figure thats an easy 10-15pts and maybe a lock. But Cam will throw at least 1-2 INT's as well as get sacked a number of times, so GB might be the better choice.

Also, lol @ espn and yahoo projecting cam newton will have a better game than kolb this week. I want to start him so damn bad for the lulz.

anybody got good info today on calvin, dez, or foster?

[kisada]

pretty close, either option is good though. maybe gamble with GB if you think you'll need the potential extra points to win your matchup. i think i'd lean towards baltimore cause with GB it might be an early blowout and the last thing i'd wanna see is a whole 4th quarter of free-scoring garbage time. GB's best corner is probably out too, though i'm not sure newton is good enough to exploit that.

[Plow]

Steve Smith is.

[Cail]

calvin is in too

[kisada]

anybody got good info today on calvin, dez, or foster?

johnson over his minor sprain, bryant really unlikely, foster in for a good-sized workload today.

[Chun Liroy]

anybody got good info today on calvin, dez, or foster?

Dez only has a thigh bruise or something. Listed as questionable, no word on if he will start. Jerry was optimistic he would play, won't know until gametime probably.

Their columnists have the journalism skills of 6th graders.

Megatron's a go
Foster's a go (expected 20 touches max barring reaggravation, Tate expected ~10)
Dez missed practice on FRI and is QST -- he's the shakiest of the 3 methinks..


Here's a question: Ben Tate or Mark Ingram?

Chicago's Run D is solid, and barring that one big run from Turner, gave up a low avg. Ingram splits 3-ways, but still got 13 touches last week (0 receptions). Tate is a lock for 10~ touches, but Ingram is a better GLB. Thoughts? Leaning towards Tate, I think...

[Gadritan]

I'd say Tate too. They're going to want to take it kinda easy on Foster, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Tate end up taking the bulk of the touches by the 4th.

Edit: Plus CHI's D is going to be inspired today.

[Plow]

I lean towards Tate but only because I think Foster reaggravating is really likely.

[kisada]

ingram's situation is pretty bad i think. brees looked for sproles quite often last week and it's pretty clear that the saints still want to frequently use pierre thomas. i'd rather ride tate cause he'll get some guaranteed touches and hamstring injuries have a way of being nagging. while i'm sure foster's fine now i wouldn't be surprised to see him re-aggravate it and get taken out of the game.

[Tyr]

DEZ BRYANT IS LIKELY NOT TO PLAY

"We won't have official word likely until later today after Bryant warms up, but it seems like just about every source out there is reporting it does not look good for Cowboys WR Dez Bryant. He still could see the field but right now, it looks to us like he's an extremely risky guy to start."

[chapstick]

fred jackson or tim hightower this week? other 2 backs are ray rice and michael turner.

[Chrius]

Ended up benching Hakeem in favor of Nate Burleson
