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

[tyven]

thats tough lol, if it werent for fred jackson beasting these last two weeks it would be marshawn hands down. im a huge ronnie fan, but cedric doesnt seem to lose many carries to other peeps in his backfield

[Tyche]

Ronnie brown is in a contract year. He'll be playing his ass off all year. What kind of offers did you get?

If you want to keep ocho cinco/steve smith (CAR), I'll give you Cadillac for the other steve smith.

[Gadritan]

Yeah. It's really hard to tell this early in the season.

Half tempted to flip a coin.

[Gadritan]

Ronnie brown is in a contract year. He'll be playing his ass off all year.

I'm just worried about how many attempts he'll see. He got 24 last night even with their crazy amount of possession. He only got 10 vs ATL. I didn't watch the ATL game much, so was there any specific reason his carries were limited that night? Or was it just because they were having to play catch up and airing it out?

If you want to keep ocho cinco/steve smith (CAR), I'll give you Cadillac for the other steve smith.

I'm not really looking to let NYG Smith go. NYG Smith actually has the highest average pts for my recievers right now. Caddy has been on fire here lately, but TB is going to be playing catch up all year. He's still only got 20 carries. Granted they don't have a QB really, so they've got to stick to their ground game somewhat. I'd give up H.Ward for him, but I doubt you'd be interested in that.

As far as offers I've basically got the option to trade Ocho even for any of those 3 RBs.

[Gadritan]

wow. Looking at it, NYG Smith is actually my top scorer so far. Him and T.Gonzalez. Both have more pts than Rivers so far.

[Tyche]

Honestly, I wouldn't trade Ocho or Steve Smith carolina. I'd see if they'll give you either of those 3 for Steve Smith NYG. Think of it this way, you have 2 WRs who will be very very hard to take out of the starting position. Are you going to put Steve Smith (NYG) in for Ocho Cinco in any game? I wouldn't. Hines Ward is a perfectly acceptable bye week WR. Unless you plan on starting 3 WRs and 1RB all year, Steve Smith (NYG) would be who I would trade, especially when you can get value for him right now. Sell high/Buy low.

[Gadritan]

Look at this crazy shit.

My kicker is doing twice as much work as Forte so far, lol.

I feel a strong week 3 coming for him though. lolseattle.

Very, very true. Time to smoke a bowl and ponder this some.

(Do you work in sales btw? If you don't, you should)

[Tyche]

Mine is pretty even.

17% RB
23% WR
23% TE (Dallas Clark lol)
11% QB (Tom Brady)
17% Defense
9% Kicker

There's a reason why I was reaching for Dallas Clark in all my drafts, and now that gonzalez is out, it's the money pick. Taking Jacobs in the 2nd round instead of a WR worked out really well too. I kinda figured Marques Colsten was going to be a fucking beast this season, glad I waited on him.

[Tyche]

Also, I offered you Lynch for Ocho Cinco earlier in the season. If you make that trade now, I will destroy you. I honestly wouldn't get anywhere near lynch until week 6+. See how the carries go. Cedric benson is definitely a no-no for Ocho Cinco. Benson is a "sell-high" guy. I wouldn't take him right now. Ronnie Brown is your guy if that's your only offers.

I'll part with Reggie Bush, Eddie Royal, Cadillac, and Leon Washington. Not really interested in trading anyone else from my team unless someone is willing to throw me some stupid offer that greatly benefits me.

Still need a weigh in gentlemen:

Mario Manningham or Laurent Robinson?

edit: lol, manningham is projected to have like 1100 yards and 9 tds on yahoo.

omarion > all

Nah. After what Jackson has done there's too many questions with Lynch to let Ocho go for him.

I'm probably going to try to do some work with NYG Smith now and just hang on to Ocho/Smitty. They're just getting warmed up.

[Gadritan]

omarion > all

You could definitely tell that he's become Eli's go to man, and he's got the skill set to pull in some big plays.

On the flip side, they're a run first team with committee WRs. They're also strong enough to stay ahead of teams and run the clock off.

I haven't watched any of Robinson tbh, but I do know that STL is going to be playing catch up all year, so he should get some pretty consistent numbers.

I'd go with Manningham personally though. In fact, I picked him up in 2 of my leagues, lol. Of course, I have A.Johnson and Fitz in both of those, so he's just a nice bye week WR for me. Not sure how much faith I'd put in him as a starter yet.

[Quixon]

Ok here's this weeks set up:

DeAngelo Williams v. Dallas
Ronnie Brown v. San Diego
Run DMC v. Denver
Sproles v. Miami
Hightower v. Indiana


Pick 3.

I have a hard time sitting DeAngelo, but the Cowboys looked good against the Giants Rush Offense past week.

I was leaning towards:

Run DMC
Ronnie Brown
Sproles


@ WR I'm going with
Vincent Jackson
Santonio Holmes

over Housh, and lolIsaac Bruce.


I've got a waiver request in for Omarion. If that goes through Bruce will be gone.

[Gadritan]

Thoughts on Hightower?

Edit: Wells hasn't looked too good so far, and Hightower is still getting the majority of the carries. He's getting a lot of receptions as well. Him and Smith are averaging the same pts in our league atm, so thinking about trying to trade even on them.

[Gadritan]

So far the worst trade offer I've had...(I'm Cardiac Cats of course)

Like...really?

[Gadritan]

wtf. He tried to counter to get Forte and Ravens D for Harvin/Chargers/McFadden.

I have 2 RBs and I'm looking for another solid/stud RB and he thinks I'm going to give away Forte AND the Ravens?

*sigh*

Most of Manningham's numbers came in one week - a week where both Hixon and Nicks were out. I'd say Robinson is the better of the two, since Avery's apparently a bust.

I'm currently bidding 15$ on Manningham, 6$ for Robinson. Manningham seems to have more skills than Robinson does, no? Looking at some of his days at Michigan, and his recs this season, he breaks a lot of tackles, gets deep well, and has good hands.

You suggest Robinson? This might change things, I just traded Donald Driver & Cedric Benson for Roddy White, so now my WRs are Andre-Roddy-Jerricho.


EDIT: Also, Manningham's done his dmg. v. WAS & DAL (Terrence Newman). That's impressive, no?
