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

[BarthelloSylph]

OK, I was going to play Henderson but chickened out and dropped him. Opponent has Brees anyways.

So I have one WR spot to fill, and here's my stable:

Massaqoui (CLE) at KC
Berrian (MIN) at CAR
Floyd (SD) vs CIN
Aromashodu (CHI) vs BAL

Available in free agent pool:

Knox (CHI) vs BAL
Jones (GB) at PIT
Bess (MIA) at TEN
Camarillo (MIA) at TEN
Branch (SEA) vs TB

and other crappy players.

One question - who should I start, with a title game bid on the line?

[Akiyama]

Dropping Henderson is looking smart here.

[Headspace]

Massaquoi

[BarthelloSylph]

Glad I dropped Henderson. Garcon put a dud up for me, but Brees returned the favor.

Keep the advice coming in guys / gals.

[Daahan]

Dilemma here:

Yahoo is now projected Steven Jackson to have only one point. He has been hurt so he might not get many carries.

I'm starting Ricky Williams, here are the other running backs to fill the second RB spot:

Kenneth Darby
Marshawn Lynch
Ryan Moats
Arian Foster

Keep in mind that I also have a flex position that can fit a RB/WR, I have TJ Housh as a benched WR currently but I really hate starting him.

So right now I'm thinking, Ricky Williams, Kenneth Darby in the second spot and Arian Foster in the flex.

Anyone feel differently, or feel that I should just leave Jackson in there?

[Akiyama]

Hem. Not real good choices there. It's looking like SJax will be a game time decision, so I'd wait on that. If he goes, you have to start him. If not.. I dunno, maybe Moats or Lynch? Who does Darby even play for? I forget.

[Headspace]

Even if Jackson is a gametime decision, his offensive line all has the swine flu.

[Daahan]

Stl, so he's the number one guy if Jackson is benched or gets limited carries. Yahoo projects him for 9 points. I know for cases like this projected points don't mean shit because it's hit or miss, but at least it gives you an idea of how many carries they think he'll get.

[Akiyama]

If you don't start SJax, and it's possible that he could miss tomorrow.. then I'd flip a coin between Lynch and Moats. Moats.. I dunno about, but I know the Bills seem to favor Fred Jackson over Lynch at this point of the season.

I think you're forgetting that SJax gets hit 4 times in the backfield on every play, and just retains fantasy value because he trucks them all.

[Headspace]

If he gets 4 times behind the los every week, imagine him this week when his offensive line all has swine flu.

It's Vajra's fantasy football nightmare.

[BarthelloSylph]

Lynch is not the main guy in Buffalo, Fred is, go with Arian.

[Akiyama]

SJax is playing today.. but I do like Foster, actually. Not Moats. My bad.

[Fistandantilus]

Good call with Foster, lol. Fuckin Mike Shanahan again, I started him in my playoff game also but thankfully I am going to win big despite him flopping.

[Akiyama]

Yeah. I quit with advising a RB in a system with more than one or two.

[Headspace]

Welp, end of my run in 20man.

[BarthelloSylph]

Glad I ignored your advice of Massaqoui.

I can advance to my money league title game if Minny D and Berrian outscore Ryan Longwell by 1.5 points.

And D's in my league start off with 15 points.

[Stiker]

Well despite having a huge scare earlier today that my benching of Harrison would cost me my season in my cash league, I still managed to pull out a very convincing win to land me in our league's Super Bowl and in the money.

Today is a good day.

[Tyr]

3 Playoff games:

Barring statcorrections, Adrian's last reception won me a trip to the finals in my money league (was down 119-121, the 63 yard rec puts me at 125-121)

Up 2 in 20man, Campbell+Tynes v. Omar Gainther

Lost big in my other playoff league, 130-100 with Gainther left to play for me.

[Serif]

As long as Redskins TE, Davis, doesn't get 21+ on me I am guaranteed I think 125+ and if I win the Championship I think it is either 275 or 375.
