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

[Akiyama]

I'd stick with what you have, though be weary of Boldin. It seems like him and Fitz split up 'awesome' weeks or something every week. Curse Warner for sharing the ball.

[deft]

How about:
Frank Gore vs. GB
Ray Rice vs. Colts
Steven Jackson vs. Arizona

Usually would have Gore and Rice in, but Steven Jackson's gotten his only two touchdowns in the last two weeks, granted, they were against mediocre run defenses (Det. and NO #19 and 20 against rush) Arizona is #9 against the rush, GB is #4, Colts are #14

[Akiyama]

Ray Rice definitely as I think Baltimore could catch Indy off guard (people are going to think that Baltimore is terrible due to the Browns game), and probably.. S-Jax. Everyone else around him may suck dick, but he sure doesn't.

[Tyche]

S. Jax is a habitually slow starter, but with that said, doesn't arizona boast one of the best run defenses in the league? Also, last week, I think the rams dressed a whole 3 WRs. One went out with an injury, dunno if he's back. Box will undoubtedly be stacked. I'd go Gore.

[Akiyama]

Gonna disagree, Tyche. The fact that the Rams are no threat in the pass game and he STILL got his should say something. When your biggest threat at WR is Donnie Avery, and SJax can still break 100 yards and a TD... yeah. I can't sit that considering GB has a pretty damned good rush defense. I don't like Gore as much as the next guy. He seems to do a lot of chipping away before finally breaking a big one, but if he never breaks that big one, then you could be looking at a 20 rush, 65 yard type of game.

[Tyche]

But it was against a Saints team that has been absolutely fucking gashed in the run game. GASHED. Arizona is better...take out the crazy game against Carolina where the Arizona offense couldn't stay on the field and D.Will and J.Stew murdered that worn out defense, they've been god damned good.

Start who you want, I don't think either are particularly good.

[Weltall]

Never sit the studs, go with Gore and SJax. Rice isn't a stud yet, but he may be next season for fantasy.

I can see Indy controlling time of possession by a huge wtf margin as well.

What? Indy? I think if the Ravens can sort of duplicate the Dolphins' gameplan, they could win this game.

[Weltall]

Peyton is like 6-0 against the Ravans in the modern Indy-era (post Jim Mora). I could be wrong, that number is just off the top of my head. Some of those wins were against better Ravans' teams.

Why would the Ravans now be able to beat the Colts? If there is anything other than sheer luck involved in this equation, please, enlighten me.

Edit - Avoid saying, "Run the ball with RB, control the clock, and keep Peyton off the field" because I believe that is the gameplan for EVERY team in the league against the Indianapolis Peytons since 2002. Hit me with something new that might actually work.

[Resin]

Pick one: Campbell v Dal, Stafford v Cle, Cassel v Pit. (lol)

Need one for flex, PPR league: T.O. v Jax, Buckhalter v SD, Donnie Avery v Ari, John Carlson v Min.

[Tetrarien]

Ok so this week I have my starters in place as... RB: S.Jackson and P.Thomas... WR: R.Moss, G.Jennings, H.Ward.

My question is about the RB/WR flex spot. Originally was going to throw Bowe in there, but that's out the window now. (Realistic) Options are S.Slaton, L.Maroney, N.Burleson, C.Chambers, and K.Walter. Currently have Slaton in that spot, but he's nowhere near a sure pick for my lineup.

[Weltall]

Slaton just based on ceiling.

[deft]

Anyone know: is Colston unhealthy or did he just have a god-awful game against the rams?

God awful game. The entire offense had a god awful game in my opinion.

[Gadritan]

Rice isn't a stud yet, but he may be next season for fantasy.

rofl.

"What have you done for me lately?" Next season doesn't matter right now.

7TDs in the past 7 games. Only two games under 100 yrds for the season. One for 194 and two TDs and a few at about 150yrds.

He's the 4th ranked RB in most leagues atm. We're @week 11. It's not a fluke.

Edit: He's also become an every down back, which is rarer and rarer these days.

[Gadritan]

Oh yeah. NYG Smith against ATL or CAR Smith against MIA?

[Akiyama]

Steve Smith (NYG)

[Gadritan]

Cake Bitch served me well last week, so I'll heed your advice again this week <.<!

Edit: Plus I'm thinking that after a 2 TD performance he can't go anywhere but down with the way his season has been.

[Akiyama]

Did my suggestions work for you last week, then I guess? I'm no master of anything, and it's all about luck sometimes, but I figure logic over luck this week. Steve Smith (CAR) is the stud of the past, though I still think he can be good as long as Delhomme doesn't suck balls. It's just prime time for Eli to have another good game against a rather poor defense in Atlanta.

[Plow]

Benson and Turner going out in the same week was an interesting twist. lol
