Alright...got a relative FUBAR situation going on at QB.

I've got Favre, McNabb and Derek Anderson.

I've gone Favre last two weeks...thinking that its time to pull the trigger and go McNabb after last weeks game.

Well, Anderson is def out.
I've practically given up on Favre too, but he's playing DET who's given up the 2nd most? points to opposing qbs. If Favre can't get it done this week, bench him.

I know, thats the only pull for Favre, but after his performance last week, well I'm almost done with him. I was pretty stoked at my QB corps going into the week, now I'm pretty much down on them both Brett and Derek Anderson. I'll leave Favre starting then, and only change if I get a last minute impulse he's going to blow it. Less than 10 points again, and thats it, he's benched, and I'm not buying Wrangler ever.

Got a minor dilemma here.

Would y'all start Cutler against the Packers? Or Vick against the Jags?

I'm leaning towards Vick, but need that 2nd opinion.

Cutler against the Pack.

Vick is a good QB when you prepare for Kolb. Or when you are playing the Lions. He will be on the road.

Cutler is an actual QB. Playing at home. Vs. a good defense.

I think its 6 one way, 1/2 dozen the other. But I will go with Cutler.

I'd go with Vick against the Jags. Not like they have a lock down secondary.

I'm also having a tough time at TE.

Just picked up Jermaine Gresham on the wire, I Really like OD as my starter but his lack of production is costing me at the moment. Should I go after Dustin Keller?

Gresham or Keller. I would go Gresham.

Pretty risky to start 2 WR's from the same team, I'd go Clayton.



That's a tough one, I'm also leaning towards Vick. Cutler is risky against that GB defense.



I'd go Miami, jmo.
Click to expand...


My deal is this... I know Sanchez has struggled and the Miami d looked pretty darn good against Favre in Minn.

But, I like the matchup with DC having St. Louis.

I'm torn.
 
Ronnie Brown vs. NYJ or Marion Barber @ Texans.

Brown is projected to get 12, while Barber is projected to get 6.

But as a Texans fan I dont see how you think we will keep the cowboys out of the endzone. Yes, Barber is a RBBC, but so is Brown to a degree, plus Brown is going up against a stout front Dline.

Leaning towards Barber. Any suggestions?

This is my flex spot. I am already starting AP and Brandon Jackson.

Ronnie Brown vs. NYJ

Marion Barber @ HOU

Chester Taylor vs. GB
Click to expand...

I'd say Barber against us seeing as Taylor is a backup (I think?) and the Jets have been extremely stingy in the run game. But I think any of those three are pretty equal in terms of possible numbers.

Here's my hilarious conundrum:

Hines Ward has been my starting 3rd WR these past few weeks and he has made me cry. I'm thinking about switching him with a young upstart here are my options

Hines Ward @TB

Mike Williams vs PIT

Louis Murphy @ ARI

And for hilarious QB stuff

Joe Flacco vs CLE

Matt Hasselbeck vs SD
 
That's a tough one. I don't think Barber will have much value against us unless he pulls a Clinton Portis and gets a lucky 1-yard TD or 2.

I would go with Brown, it's risky but he did run for 74 yards and 2 TD's last time the Jets went to Miami.

We are #2 in rush defense giving up 31.0 yds per game. The Jets are #3 giving up 50.5 ypg.

And yeah, I would go with Murphy and Flacco

The only thing with us and rush defense, is that number could get entirely inflated if the Cowboys are playing with a lead for awhile. I think our Rush D is more of a product of our offense being good enough to score points (And the 'Skins running game being bad). I'd trust the Jets rushing totals more than ours currently (but hey, I could always be wrong).
 
Would yall start:

Mike Sims-Walker against Philly

or

Louis Murphy against Arizona

(note- MJD is a starting RB and Mercedes Lewis is the TE)

That's a very valid point, but our Secondary is very weak. I think whether the Cowboys have the lead or they're down, Romo is going to be throwing it against our young guys.
 
With Ryan Grant and Knowshon going down, I've been struggling with this decision all week. I'm starting Foster for sure but not sure who to put in at RB2

M. Barber @ HOU
C. Buckhalter vs IND
J. Snelling @ NO

None of them look too sexy this week, what do ya'll think?
 
Those are all unfortunate choices, but if I had to pick one I'd go with Lee Evans. I like Spiller's upside potential but he's facing a tough test against the Jets run defense and the Bills coaching staff is foolishly not getting him enough touches. Evans, as disappointing as he's been throughout his career, is at least a WR1. With Revis out another game, I'd give the nod to Evans here.

I dropped Sims Walker in my league, :gun: but I have a good receiving group without him. (Nicks, Collie, Ocho, Dez B)



I would start Murph, drop Sims, and pickup Mike Williams (TB) or Brandon Tate (NE).
 
OK, I need to start a combination of 2WR, 2RB, and one flex out of the following:

RB: Addai, Torain, Best, McFadden, and Hillis.
WR: RMoss, SHolmes, Austin, Floyd.

Floyd is the only guy that is definitely out.

Help? TIA.

I would go with Hillis, Torain, Austin, Moss, and a toss up between and Best and Holmes in the flex spot.

It looks like McFadden isn't going to play this week.
 
What are Mathews owners doing this week?

Great matchup against the Raiders, and we all saw what the Texans did to them on the ground. I also have Tolbert and I'm not really sure which way I should lean. I've considered starting both of them...
 
QB: Cutler post concussion vs. Seattle, or Henne @ GB without CM possibly?

Flex: WR Floyd @ STL or RB Brandon Jackson vs. Miami?

Currently I have Cutler and Jackson starting.

Kyle Orton vs Jets or Big Ben vs Cleveland? I don't know if he'll be rusty, and Orton is having a great year.
Click to expand...

Really is a tough call. Only Henne has scored in the 20's vs the jets so far this year. But Orton has gone off vs. Balt and Tenn recently. I would go with Orton to see where Ben is at, not to mention I can see Pitt running ALOT and having a lead and sticking with it.

Coin flip.

Orton vs. a really good denfese.

Ben Roe vs. Bad Browns. Last time Ben played in Cleveland he had 200 yards and 0 Td's.

Yeah, its hard to not start my highest point getter Orton.
 
Who should I start?

I have got to figure out my two WR positions and Flex, here's my options:

Dez Bryant (Questionable)
Calvin Johnson (Questionable)
M. Colston (Probable)
M. Barber
N. Wasthington

If Johnson and and Bryant weren't iffy I'd probably go with them. I won't be around my computer after Sat night so I'd like to get it set. I am thinking playing Washington, Johnson, and Colston.

No question, Washington, Colston, and Johnson are the only way to go. Barber has been garbage and Bryant is injured and also hasn't been that good. Brees is finally starting to look Colston's way a bit more this year.

Now, go comment on the "Trade Advice" thread and tell me what you think of my trades.
 
Hope someone can respond before 12 tomorrow.

Curious on who you guys think I should start. I need to start two RBs, two WRs, and a flex.

Options are Arian Foster, Ahmad Bradshaw, Jamaal Charles, Wes Welker, Brandon Marshall, Kenny Britt, and Michael Crabtree.

Right now, I have Arian Foster, Ahmad Bradshaw, Jamaal Charles, Wes Welker, and Brandon Marshall starting. Curious if you guys think for any reason I should go with Britt or even Crabtree.

I'd stick with what you have. Britt and Crabtree haven't proven they're consistent enough to play on anything but a fill-in basis.
 
I picked up the Rams D because the Steelers were on a bye week and they earned me negative points. I dropped them and now against the Chargers they got 7 sacks and 1 INT so far...amazing.
 
Well I need Nate Washington to get me 8 points or more tonight to win this week. So glad I didn't get scared out of starting Calvin Johnson because of his questionable status. He ended up going off.
 
Do I start Brandon Marshall vs steelers? Or colston against browns. I also am starting meachem. Both could have a big game against the browns d.

I would start Marshall, especially if it's ppr. Colston has been a dud this season but of course as soon as you bench him he will go off for 150 yards and a TD. :rake:
