Fantasy Football 2009: Start 'Em, Sit 'Em, Trade 'Em

[Headspace]

Leon's better than T Jones on a consistent basis.

[tyven]

I'm not bailing on Forte. Nor am I looking at Cadillac as a season saver. I just want some more depth at RB. All I have right now is Bradshaw and Forte. That's it.

I still have NYG Smith, H.Ward, and Crayton on my bench. Crayton isn't much, but Smith and Ward do enough work to give me some good depth at the WR slot.

wtf those are your only two RBs?

[Gadritan]

Like I said.

A few people in our league need an HQ WR. I'll see what kind of offers I get.

I'm not jumping on the first thing I'm offered.

[Gadritan]

wtf those are your only two RBs?

Yes, lol. That's what I'm saying. I've got great WR depth, but I really need a strong RB to give me more depth since Forte isn't putting out.

I did essentially the same thing as Tyche but with WRs.

[Tyche]

I got Leon and Bush really late. Like, 6th and 9th rounds. Leon led the league in yards from scrimmage last year, and this league is heavy on yardage gained. As you can figure, I banked on Jacobs and Smith as the starters, with Bush and Leon used as situational fillers depending on the defenses played. Bush, with this leagues scoring rules, is a consistent 15+ point player.

[tyven]

give tyche ocho for jacobs. either that or ocho for reggie and cadillac. get two RBs fo sho

[Gadritan]

I have Ocho/Smith/Smith/Ward/Crayton.

[Tyche]

I won't give up jacobs, no matter how big a piece of shit he's been the past 2 games.

[Gadritan]

give tyche ocho for jacobs.

Bradshaw has been putting out better than Jacobs. WR and RB are a bit more even in this league too, so that'd be a pretty shitty trade off.

Edit: Granted it's only the second week, but Ocho has been doing me right while Jacobs has been slacking.

[Aragon of Odin]

Benched R.Brown and W.McGahee to play D.McFadden and D.Williams, figured McFadden was the better match against the Cheifs, and just can't bench Williams, he's my #1.

completely forgot you had bradshaw

[Tyche]

Meh, Jacobs has faced Washington and Dallas. Both were pretty damn decent in run defense last year.

[wyrmtung]

Forte has been the FF bust of the year so far. Figures since he was my #1 pick in my money league.

Think I'm going to have to let Ocho or Smith go for a stud RB now.

It's only week 2

[Gadritan]

It's only week 2

Really?

Go back one page.

Edit: Wait, you did. So...your point is....?

[Serif]

Didn't even watch the game.

2 of my people scored just as much as Welt's whole team

Gore and Clark son

I still have yet to watch the Giants-Dallas game, but news of Manningham's huge statline did get to me. So here's a question:

My money league's waiver system works on a basis of 100$ (you bid for players on waivers, as opposed to a rolling list). My current WRs are:

Andre Johnson
Jerricho Cotchery
Donald Driver

This would be my first waiver move, and I put $11 towards obtaining Manningham. I'd be dropping (temporarily) my kicker Joe Nedney until I sort out which player I will drop (most likely Chester Taylor, although I like having him to handcuff Adrian). Here's the question:

1) For those of you who saw him in college, is he legit?
2) For those of you who watched the game/Week 1?
3) Giants fans -- whats going to be the situation when Hakeem Nicks returns?
4) I'm also trying to obtain Laurent Robinson or perhaps Mike Walker. Are either better options than Manningham?

EDIT: League starts 2 WR, 1 WR/TE. PPR league (.5) and 15 y/p. I have Dallas Clark & Greg Olsen at TE.

[Plow]

He had more catches and almost twice as many yards last night as all of last year + last week combined.

[Abandon]

I had Drew Brees, Mario Manningham, Steve Smith, DeSean Jackson, and Ronnie Brown. Win.

nigga his name is omarion

[Gadritan]

Which of these 3 RBs will potentially put up the best FF numbers this year:

R.Brown - Will the Fins be able to play enough possession to give him anywhere near the 24 carries he had last night? Will his attempts be cut down due to playing catch up and being a part of a committee running game as he only had 10 attempts in week 1?

M.Lynch - Will Lynch jump back in as a true #1, or will Jackson's performance see him splitting more carries?

C.Benson - He's had two very solid performances so far, but it's only week 2. Can he continue to do so?

I'm leaning heavily towards Lynch atm, but I just wanted to get a little more insider info from MIA/BUF/CIN fans.
