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

[Dimmauk]

I think im going to go with Duece, Ronnie and Lendale. I'm flip-flopping between Lendale and Benson.

Just pulled a trade in my keeper league. I've made a number of moves that now leave my starting roster with only two drafted players (Andre & Marshall).

Trade was:

I give: Jay Cutler & Anthony Gonzalez
I get: Joseph Addai & Marques Colston

The team receiving Cutler has no good QBs, at least none that are healthy, and is looking to next year as it's a keeper league. Didn't like what they had in Addai. My new team:

QB- Kurt Warner, Matt Hasselbeck, Brady Quinn
WR- Brandon Marshall, Andre Johnson, Marques Colston, Lee Evans, Kevin Curtis
RB- Adrian Peterson, LaDanian Tomlinson, Joseph Addai, Maurice Jones-Drew
TE- Kellen Winslow
K- John Kasay
DEF- New England Patriots

League positions are standard - the flex is a W/T, so that means I'm starting 3 receivers.

Long before I acquired Tomlinson or Colston, this was the best roster I ever had control of, especially in a 12-man competitive keeper league (my main league).

I'm 7-3, 2nd place, 1st in points. Playoff spot is not clinched, obviously, but anything short of a championship with this roster would be extremely disappointing.

Any thoughts on the trade I just pulled? Cutler/Gonzalez for Addai/Colston?

amazing trade, those WRs alone should be able to deliver a championship, especially if its PPR

it is, I have to now cry myself to sleep each Sunday night for having benched someone that probably will explode on my bench.

This week, I'm benching Evans, LT, and MJD. LT & MJD are no brainers, but I have a feeling the moment I bench Evans, he explodes for 6-177-2.

[recuperi]

[Akiyama]

osh!

[Byrd]

QB's

David Garrard vs. Tennessee
Tyler Friggin' Thigpen vs. KC

I'm really leaning towards Thigpen.

I was thinking Hasselbeck, too, but someone went and picked him up while I was typing out my response to Tyr's Commish's note.

Memo to Self: Work first done, then write novel.

[Akiyama]

Thigpen easily, and I assume you mean vs. NO. Either way, Thigpen.

Durka dur. Yup. Thigpen vs. NO.

[Akiyama]

Durka dur. Yup. Thigpen vs. NO.

Yep. I think Thigpen goes for 250+ and a couple TDs honestly, though in a losing effort hopefully.

Btw, what'd you think of my 139'er in BG East? Tyr tells me it's the most scored in a single week all year in East.

That's what I was thinking, too, I just wanted a second opinion to make sure I hadn't smoked too much crack again.

Moves you all the way up to 5th place in total points. Btw, I'm rooting for the last place team to finish the season ahead of you (9-1) in total points, because that would be awesome. Only 27 points difference right now. Nothing personal, it would just be amusing to me to see last points get more overall points than first place.

Nah. Not at all. Stat for you: Last three weeks, the only person to score more points than Thigpen in fantasy is Kurt Warner.

D: Eff you. Haha. Nah, no offense taken. That would be interesting, though I'd like to at least finish Top 3 in points. Through the first half of the year, I don't think my team was legit for it's record. Now though, I think it actually does look like an 8-2/9-1 record team. What's your thoughts?

Several tough decisions for me to make this weekend:

Miami's DEF @ home against Oakland
or
Tampa DEF @ home against Minnesota

Brandon Jacobs at home against Baltimore
or
Jonathan Stewart @ home against Detroit

Out of these WRs, which TWO do I start?

Marques Colston
Steve Breaston
Santonio "Fail" Holmes
Kevin Walter

I have Colston and Breaston in right now because they both have favorable matches.

The opinions are appreciated.

inc fail advice.

Miami's D/ST against Oakland. Gotta go with Jacobs against Baltimore over Stewart right now. DeAngelo Williams is the starter, though if someone gets tackled near the 1 or 2, Jonathan Stewart may vulture up a TD. That one's a toss-up.

Colston and Breaston are nice, but Holmes has a favorable match-up against the lolChargers too.

[Serif]

Tim Hightower @ Seattle
LaDainian Tomlimson @ Pit
Larry Fitzgerald @ Seattle
Grenn Jennings @ Chicago
Steve Breaston @ Seattle
Kevin Walter @ Indy

Can do 2 RB 2 WR or 1 RB 3 WR

I am just having trouble with keeping LT in this week with the Steelers. Also if I put in Breaston for LT, if the Cardinals do bad I am fucked but they are playing lolSeattle.
