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

[Ishido]

So... Peyton vs Rodgers. I would like Peyton except for the possibility that he may sit after some time in. Opinions?

[Stiker]

My playoff situation that is driving me nuts: Whether to start Moreno (vs OAK) or P. Thomas (vs DAL).

I'm in a PPR league and I know Thomas definitely gets the ball thrown his way a lot; however, Moreno is playing against an awful Raiders team. I'm also concerned that Thomas may not see as much playing time if the Saints decide to rest him a bit.

What do y'all think?

[Ketsuri]

I have the exact same situation (Moreno vs Thomas), and I am sitting Thomas. The saints don't like to give Thomas an opportunity to score. If they are in the red zone, bush and bell will be in for runs/passes. Also, from what I have heard, Buckhalter is hurt and Moreno is going to be getting more carries.

Basically Thomas will prob get you 5-10 points, but Moreno should get at least 1 TD possibly more.

Greg Jennings or Garcon? FUCK

[Weltall]

Actually, fuck, pick 3:

Garcon
Jennings
Jacobs
Ryan Grant

FAST

[Headspace]

Garcon, Jennings, Grant

[Ketsuri]

^ ditto

[Weltall]

Ok, that is what I had in...so I'll go with it.

If Brandon Jacobs all the sudden can get over 40 yards in a game, I'll sacrifice Tyche to a group of seals.

[Plow]

Have to pick 3...

Johnny Knox @ Ravens
Santonio Holmes vs Packers
TO vs Pats
Santana Moss vs Giants
Jacoby Jones vs Rams



Mostly I'm struck by the likelihood of JJ ending up with a nice td against the Rams, and not sure if I should act on it. Not liking Knox much lately either, even though he gave me some points against the packers.

[recuperi]

idk, if there was a week to play Knox it seems like it'd be this week. The Ravens have been burned by several speed receivers this year - VJax for 140+, Sidney Rice for 176, Garcon for 106. I'd consider him at least on that note, even though Cutler's gonna be on his back most of the game.

Moss TO and Holmes or Knox would be my pick, probably a tossup between those last 2

[Gregorio]

Round 2 playoffs for me...crunch time with my shitty receiving corps.

Santana Moss vs. Giants
Harvin vs. Carolina
Hester vs. Baltimore
LOLee Evans vs. NE
Breaston vs. Detroit

I have Santana Moss and Percy Harvin going as of now. Hopefully Harvin will be able to play (stupid migraines). Most likely won't use Evans since he's a disappointment every time I use him. Considering Breaston if Fitzgerald doesn't play. In my Flex atm I have Leonard Weaver from the Eagles going. Might keep him there as long as Westbrook doesn't play as he's been seeing a lot of action. I also decided to take Matthew Berrys advice and pick up Chris Jennings from Cleveland...so he may be a possibility since they're playing the Chiefs.

Also, at TE Fred Davis or Kevin Boss? AHHH DECISIONS.

[Plow]

I really don't think I can sit Holmes against the pack, he's the one I'm really confident in.

I'm thinking about sitting T.O... but man he's been scoring all the time lately even when he doesn't do shit else.

So I'm basically torn on rather or not to consider sitting T.O., and then expecting a td out of JJ, a couple big chunks of yards from Knox and potentially a td there, or I can just plug in Santana and get 75 yards and very, VERY small chance of TD.

Yeah, the main reason I put Holmes in the iffy thing was because of the opponent, but I looked and he's been fairly consistent lately. Also, it would've looked silly for me to put Moss and 2 of TO/Holmes/Knox so I had to choose one to leave out of the 3-way

[Gregorio]

TO has had a couple TDs the past few weeks...and the Pats have given up 10 receiving TDs in their last 5 games, so he might be useful. Packers I think are going to play tough to tighten their grip on the wild card. Giants defense has been terrible lately (which is why I have Moss and Davis going as of now). And anyone playing the Rams is going to look good...which is why I picked up Houstons D for the week.

[BarthelloSylph]

Thanks Garcon.

[Stiker]

Thanks Garcon.

No fucking shit. So pissed at him. Every other fucking receiver found the endzone on the Colts but him. GDI ><

[Weltall]

Yeah, Manning and Dallas Clark raped me a new one...there goes a lot of $

[Fistandantilus]

So last year I had bookmarked a breakdown of Fantasy points offenses gave up to opposing defenses and haven't been able to find it this year. I usually just change defenses each week depending on matchups, anyone know what I'm talking about and have a link to those stats for this year? Right now I got Cle against KC since Cassel seems to be getting sloppy, but I'm not too confident in that choice really. The league I'm in basically ignores points allowed unless it is a shutout, so I just wants sacks/picks/fumble recoveries really.

That link is how many turnovers each team has this year. They have other stats on the site, but I am having trouble reading them. Does that help at all?

Shockey wussed out tonight, and during FF playoffs.
