Fantasy Football 2011: Jumping the Gun

[Ketsuri]

I can't decide who to play in my flex spot. I know it's usually RB > WR but this one is tough.

T. Hightower @ DAL
D. Henderson vs HOU (opponent is starting Brees)
P. Harvin vs DET (opponent is starting Lions D)

There's some upside to all 3 of those match ups.

#1 - With Romo being injured, whether he plays or not, the Redskins will have lots and lots of possessions.

#2 - Any yards/TDs to Henderson will help neutralize the points my opponent gains from Brees.

#3 - If P. Harvin scores against the Lions, that will help the point differential as my points go up and his points go down.

The 1st scenario is the safest. The 2nd scenario hinges on Brees to Henderson vs Brees to anyone else. And 3rd scenario is extreme situational but can spark a 9-10 point (+6/7 me -3 him) swing every TD, IF and only IF Harvin is the one finding the endzone.

I would go with Hightower. Brees really spreads the ball around and you never know if Henderson is going to have 100+ yards or barely anything. Last week he only caught 3 passes. I have Harvin in one of my leagues, but he hasn't been doing well. Peterson seems to be getting the TDs. I am on the fence on if I want to start Harvin, Moore, or Knox.

[Tweek]

i dunno man no one has ran on Dallas yet successfully, normally I always start RB in flex. I am also not a fan of Harvin this year given all the changes there 6 of his 16 points are from a return TD and you can't really count on that for production going forward until McNabb really proves something he's a tough start

if I was you I would go with Henderson for 1 more week, next week Hightower in STL will be great so you won't even have to think about it

[Headspace]

Hakeem
Knox
Jerome Simpson
Danario Alexander

pick 1

[Tweek]

edit: lol honestly that is a tough choice i rather not even answer. GL

[Demosthenes11]

Hakeem
Knox
Jerome Simpson
Danario Alexander

pick 1

go with stevie nicks

[Valisk]

Jerome Simpson against the 9ers

[Skyylya]

question about who to play at my flex spot this week.

eric decker @ tenn
Plaxico Burress @ Oakland
Danarius moore @ jets
lance moore or robert meachem @ houston

Decker has most upside I think but tenn has been pretty lights out against receivers so far this season. Lance moore if healthy should get a lot of love considering that game should be an old fashioned shootout. meachem's gotten points but on like 1-2 looks that happen to be in the end zone. not sure if danarius is reliable after one game and while plaxico looked awesome in week one he got thrown to 1 time in the red zone last week and dirty sanchez over threw it.

i'm on the fence between moore, decker or plax right now.

[Valisk]

Yea, it's out of Decker and Plax. It's a toss up.

[Moss]

Hakeem
Knox
Jerome Simpson
Danario Alexander

pick 1

Hakeem is too good to bench. Don't get cute.

[kisada]

yeah gotta start nicks.

i like meachem the best out of the 4 wr's. if lloyd wasn't coming back for week 3 i might go with decker. and if moore wasn't facing the jets' secondary i'd go with him over any of the rest.

[Tyche]

Hixon has a torn ACL (cut Giants injury jokes), so Manningham and Nicks is about all they have. They pretty much have no choice but to throw his way no matter who's covering him.

[Aragon of Odin]

I need another RB, one of my friends needs a QB. I want to try and make a trade to get Turner from him, so I've offered Bradford/Greene. I have a feeling he's going to want Schaub from me instead, so do you think that Bradford is in a strong enough position to be used as my main QB? Because that means I'd have to pick some on up of the waiver as his back up for his bye week.

But its Nnamdi . If I had AJ Green, I'd play him against the 9ers. Jerome is too inconsistent.

I thought WR was my strong point.

Also

Benson
SJAX
Cadillac
Greene
Tate

Pick 2.

[Tyche]

Depending on what side of the field Nicks lines up on, Nnamdi may not be covering him.

Tate for sure if he starts, Greene has a good matchup too. Post the matchups with your players, I'm not about to look them all up

[Chun Liroy]

Foster Felix or Addai :<

I have a doubt that either foster or felix will even be playing, but even if they do go, doubt they'll get a lot of playing time or scores.

[Demosthenes11]

leroy are you going to go winless in the money league

[Moss]

Foster Felix or Addai :<

I have a doubt that either foster or felix will even be playing, but even if they do go, doubt they'll get a lot of playing time or scores.

Well Addai is against the Steelers and the Colts are terrible, so he should be your last resort.

[chapstick]

fred davis vs DAL

finley vs CHI

finley got a burst of targets last week but didn't score. I feel bad benching him but davis has put up better numbers week 1 and 2.
