Fantasy Football: Play 'em or Bench 'em Discussion!

[Fistandantilus]

Cassel could have a good game but I don't really think there is too many ways to justify him over Romo at this point

[Akiyama]

With how they handled him last week, I don't trust Cassel as a good points puter upper, lol. Jets pass D isn't THAT good, and he mostly did short bubble screens and handed the ball off a lot. I expect the same thing against Miami, really. That and... there's no way you can pick Cassel over Romo. D:

[volcanicweather]

What do you think about this trade:

I get:
Randy Moss
Ricky Williams (will be dropped, decent stuff in FA pool)

He gets:
Thomas Jones
Lee Evans

League is non-td heavy, high yards per touch leauge. You start 1 RB and 1 flex (RB/WR/TE). Scoring for all positions is similar.

My roster if I take the trade

Qb: Romo
RB: Lynch
Flex: Randy Moss
WR: Hines Ward
WR: Andre Johnson
TE: Gates
K: who cares
D: Titans
----------
BN: Rivers
BN: Fred Jackson
BN: Sammy Morris
BN: Leon Washingson (will be dropped if i trade Jones)
BN: Ricky Williams (dropped)
BN: Anthony Gonzales
BN: Vikings D

I can probably deal Rivers for a decent RB if needed.

Thoughts?

[Mizango]

Here is my week 3 Roster.

QB: Tony Romo
QB: Jay Cutler (bench)
WR: Santonio Holmes
WR: L. Coles
WR: Isaac Bruce
WR: Devery Henderson (bench)
WR: Marques Colston (can't use)
RB: Joseph Addai
RB: Reggie Bush
RB: Felix Jones (bench)
RB: Darren Sproles (bench)

QB: Both Romo and Cutler are hot right now and are reliable for points. Romo is going up against GB and Cutler against NO. I'm probably going to start Cutler for week 3 unless someone can give me a valid argument as to why not.

WR: I'm probably going to keep Coles and Holmes in the starting position. Isaac Bruce had a huge week as he became O'Sullivan's go to guy last weekend. I expect SF to whoop Detroit and I expect Bruce to help do that. Henderson didn't do much last week and I don't expect him to do much against Denver. What do you think?

RB: I was thinking of taking Bush out for this round and popping in Darren Sproles. He's expected to churn out some numbers.

Def: Seattle for St. Louis...Seattle defense has been vulnerable...but it's STL...
K: Crosby

Def: Seattle
Def: TB (bench)

2 Words; Jason. David.


Cutler all the way.

[Quixon]

Steven Jackson (v.Seattle) or Matt Forte (v.Tampa)

Ugh... Jackson is killing me.

[Mizango]

IMO Forte is going to have it rough against that Tampa Defense, while normally I would say Jackson in a heartbeat, I remember he plays for the lolRams. I think id still go with Forte over Jackson... the Rams are just terrible and with 15 in the box the Rams still cant complete a pass.

I really am not envious of your position QQ

[Byrd]

IMO Forte is going to have it rough against that Tampa Defense, while normally I would say Jackson in a heartbeat, I remember he plays for the lolRams. I think id still go with Forte over Jackson... the Rams are just terrible and with 15 in the box the Rams still cant complete a pass.

JT O'Sullivan passed for 300+ yards last week against the Seahawks, and Frank Gore ran them over; I would expect the Rams to score a fair amount of points. Chicago might score 10 points and win. I'm starting Bulger over Garrard in my BG league, and I would go with Jackson over Forte, but it's a close call. I don't think you could be blamed either way.

[Tyche]

Jackson and Johnson start slow...keep him in.

[Deejay]

Okay, I like to think of myself as pretty wise guy when it comes to these things but this really has me scratching my head.

Last flex spot, W/T.

Chad Johnson @NYG, Jerricho Cotchery @SD, or Roy Williams @SF?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

(and Owen Daniels@TEN [lol] at TE if anyone was wondering)

[Tyche]

Roy, definately Roy

[Tyche]

Hmmm

Santonio Holmes vs Dwayne Bowe?

Big Ben is injured and going against a good Eagles secondary even they they didn't show it. Ward has been the go to redzone guy too. Bowe is thrown to more times than any other WR in the league, but they have a QB I've never heard of. They also, however, have a very favorable matchup against the Falcons.

[Akiyama]

Bowe. Thigpen will be throwing from behind imo, and he'll have to throw it to someone. Gonzy and Bowe could have big games even if the team as a whole sucks dick.

[Anyway]

This is play em or bench em, but I have an add em or drop em question.

You see my 3 starting RBs on my team are Westbrook, Forte, And Edgerrin. Edgerrin has been sucking hardcore and I'm a tad scared Hightower will replace him eventually. So I kind of want to pick him up, problem being my backups are Ricky Williams and Fred Taylor. Who do I drop?

[Deejay]

Anyway, I would keep hightower in the FA pool for at least another week. If Ricky doesn't give you some decent numbers soon then I'd probably consider dropping him.You never know if Jones-Drew could get injured (he's got an ankle injury he's dealing with atm) which would sky-rocket Fred Taylor's value. The only thing is that Jackonville's line is dinged up for the rest of the season.


I've also got a tough RB decision.

Laurence Maroney @ Miami or Julius Jones @lolSt.Louis?

[Akiyama]

Julius Jones vs. the lolRams. Maroney won't be playing this week I don't think, and even if he does, it'll be sparingly I think? I know he was questionable for a while. The Rams gave up 200+ yards last week to the Giants. The Seahawks don't have many WRs, so they'll be handing it off a lot. He could have a huge week.

[sekaran]

Seems like every week I have a WR problem.

2WR, 2RB, 1 RB/WR flex spot.

Currently have starting:
WR1: Lee Evans vs. OAK
WR2: Bryant Johnson vs. DET
RB1: Willie Parker vs. PHI
RB2: Marshawn Lynch vs. OAK
Flex: Chris Johnson vs. HOU

I think I'm set on RB and Flex.. but the WRs I have on the bench that could fill in are Chad Johnson, Marvin Harrison, and Reggie Williams. Don't think Ocho-Cinco will do great against the Giants. Harrison is going against Jacksonville, and Williams against Indy. I'm thinking I should just stick with the lineup I currently have set. Disagree/agree?

[Akiyama]

Stick with what you have honestly. Oakland got burned by Denver, and Lee Evans seems to have good days every time out. Bryant Johnson is good too. Him and Isaac Bruce are gonna get their share of catches against a horrendous Detroit team.

[Fistandantilus]

QB Decision! I just traded for Peyton but he's playing Jacksonville this week and I have Kitna on the bench. Although I think Peyton will clean things up later in the year not sure how much I trust him this week, and Kitna is playing against San Fransisco... leaning towards Kitna.

[Akiyama]

You can't not start Peyton. That and he heated up in the 2nd half last week. That could be just what he needed. Also, he's supposed to get back Dallas Clark (though probably limited), and Jeff Saturday.

[Daahan]

I was proposed this trade:

Frank Gore and Lendale White for Tony Romo. (I'm the one that has Romo)

The RBs that I have are Addai, Bush, Felix Jones, and Darren Sproles.

It's an enticing trade. I have Jay Cutler as my other QB.
