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

[recuperi]

He's listed as doubtful for re-aggravating a groin injury. However, he's the only back left? Besides whoever they pick up.

Rice looks to be a game day decision. Slaton's going up against a tough run D which is why I'm hesitant to start him.. but he's proved me wrong almost every week!

I'd probably pick up Young over Taylor just because you know he'll be there later in the year, and from what it sounds like you don't need him immediately anyway. On the Rice vs. Slaton thing, I would probably start Rice over Slaton simply because Rice is more of a receiving threat, and on the running side he's going up against a banged up LB core. I can't say he's got a better chance of getting in the end zone though because they seem to be using McClain almost exclusively for that. How a guy gets over 150 yards rushing and no TDs is beyond me.

Peyton(sp) Hillis is available out there probably, and he's pretty much all Denver has left.

They moved P.J. Pope up from the practice squad this week too. I'm guessing we just didn't see him Thursday because he hadn't had enough time with the first string to go in there when Torain went down and Young aggravated his groin problem. He might be their back in week 11 with Hillis getting red zone carries, but then they might also just go exclusively to Hillis, so who knows

OK it's getting really close to the trade deadline in the leagues, and I still have 2 starting QBs. Everybody in BG West, I'm willing to trade Cutler for a top 8 or so TE, and I need to get the trade done before Friday

[Headspace]

Brandon Jacobs vs Bal
DeAngelo Williams vs Det
MB3 @ Was

Was thinking Williams and MB3, Baltimore's Rushing D scares me even though Jacobs is hueg liek xbox. I can't figure out Dallas anymore.

Also,
Garrard or Favre?

A. Johnson
Welker
Avery
Randle El
M.Harrison

Need 3. They're all never fully consistent which worries me.

[Dimmauk]

Cutler or Romo? I'm thinking about stickin with Cutler till Romo plays the Rams.

[recuperi]

Welker, Johnson, and Avery stand out as the best options to me. Holt didn't catch a single pass this week and Avery was targeted on those shorter routes as well against the Jets. Those would be the most consistent at least. Johnson you obviously can never sit, and Avery's up against a fairly weak secondary. I'd say the last spot is really a toss-up between Welker and Randle El, but I think Welker's streak of 6+ catch games steers me toward him.

On the QB's, I'd definitely go with Favre. If Jacksonville beats Tennessee, they're going to do it on the ground.

With the RBs, I think you've got a good pick with what you said. Baltimore's line is fairly big, even though their LBs aren't any bigger than Jacobs. To me that seems more like an Eli game than a running game, but I could be wrong.

Cutler or Romo? I'm thinking about stickin with Cutler till Romo plays the Rams.

Start Cutler. They said Romo's finger isn't yet fully healed, and Cutler seems like he's on an upswing at the moment. Give Romo a week or so before you try to put him back in for fantasy purposes.

[Akiyama]

I gotta go with Cutler in that matchup. I mean.. Romo could come back and throw for 300 Yards and 3 TDs, but the chances of that? I dunno. That pinky might still give him issues even though he's practiced since last week.

As far as RBs go up there... you have to think Dallas will give MB3 the carries so they won't have to depend on Romo for the entire game. Jacobs though I thought would have shitty weeks coming up with his schedule, and he's done alright, so I dunno. They are a run first team, while Dallas is like Jeckyll and Hyde. DeAngelo is an auto-start obviously as anyone would be against Dallas. If you had Jonathan Stewart, I'd suggest him too.

[tyven]

blehhhhhhh pick 5 - @ least 2 from each.

RBs
Ronnie brown vs. Oak
chris johnson @ JAX
brian westbrook @ Cinci
deangelo williams vs Det
reggie bush @ KC

WRs
Randy vs, NYJ
Anquan @ Seattle
eddie royal @ Atl
chad johnson vs Eagles

so many freaking good matchups, i really dont wanna leave too many points on the bench. obviously randy and anquan are must starts @ WR. eddie royal has been making a very strong case to be my flex but that means only going with two RBs. reggie bush should be back this week and its a PPR league so he always has monster potential. this shit sucks nuts. i dont have a problem sitting ronnie brown but i would hate sitting chris johnson for deangelo williams who hasnt even cracked my starting line up yet this year...

[Akiyama]

Westbrook and DeAngelo for RBs, Boldin and Moss.. and yeah. Between Royal and Ronnie Brown for Flex.

[Headspace]

Westbrook's only going to gain yards running from east to west in this game.

[Akiyama]

Westbrook's only going to gain yards running from east to west in this game.

You hope. I say he gets 125+ and about 50+ receiving with a couple TDs.

Niggas don't know about my rookie DTs.

Also, he'll most likely break a vertebrae on some dumbass play before the half.

[Akiyama]

Rofl. I actually think the Bengals might give them a game.... for the first quarter.

[Stiker]

My biggest issue this week: Quinn (@ BUF) or Romo (@ WASH)

I have a bunch of other issues, but most of them are injury related. My team is starting to look like a M.A.S.H. unit.

[archibaldcrane]

Kevin Smith @ CAR
Clinton Portis (50% chance of playing right now) vs. DAL
Julius Jones vs. ARI
Larry Johnson (reactivated) vs. NO

Pick 2...

[recuperi]

ew that's a tough choice. I'd be willing to bet Portis plays hurt again, so he'd be one of em. The second is a bunch of unpredictables Jones probably has the best chance of getting the most yardage of the three, but Smith might see the same numbers he saw last week as a feature back. Johnson managed one good game while he was active, but I just wouldn't trust him yet coming back from 2-3 weeks of inactivity.

[Dimmauk]

2RB and 1 WR/RB

Portis
Ronnie Brown
LenDale
Benson
McFadden

What ya'll think?

[Akiyama]

Portis (as long as he plays), Brown, and LenDale.

[Dimmauk]

Portis (as long as he plays), Brown, and LenDale.

They are now saying that he is a game time desion. And its a night game. WTF!

[Akiyama]

Go grab Shaun Alexander? >.>; lol

[recuperi]

Betts is likely to be back this week too
