Won by 1.3 points thanks to cutler's TD pass. That was a hell of a sweat.

LOL I go to my email before heading to bed last night and find a trade offer from my 14 person keeper league.

Stephen Jackson in return for Brad Johnson


Wow

in the 150 league, i just traded holmes and slaton for marshall
starting line up will look something like this when byes are complete:

QB- warner
RB- sjax, chris johnson/lendale white
WR- fitz, jennings, marshall
K- scobee or prater
dst- tampa

Here's a question concerning one of my teams. Currently my line up is this:

QB- Brees (Matt Ryan for his upcoming bye)
WR- Fitz, Roddy White (Coles, Bowe and Breaston in reserve)
RB- Slaton, Thomas Jones, SJax, B. Jacobs (been rotating 3 of the 4 in every week)
TE- Owen Daniels

Should I go hunting for a second top tier WR to complement Fitz or should I grab a top RB? Either way, which running back should I most be willing to trade? What WR/RB would you recommend I pursue? Should I primarily target somebody with weak matchups, particularly in weeks 16 & 17? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Roddy White might be the most underrated fantasy WR in the NFL. I wish I had picked him up this year instead of Roy Williams and freaking Donald Driver both of whom I drafted before White . I say stick with him. He's posted 90+ yards the last 4 games with 3 of those over 110.

I think Boldin is the most underrated. When he's healthy, he's a borderline top 5 receiver. But white is great.

I agree White is putting up very nice numbers right now, which is why I have been leaning towards netting a top tier RB. The question is, which of my RBs should I look to be trading away? I have been leaning towards Brandon Jacobs for two reasons:
1. He is a committee back who is splitting carries with two other backs (though primarily Ward)
2. He does not have any particularly favorable match ups. In fact, a number of them are very unfavorable (Steelers, Ravens, Eagles x2, Redskins, Minnesota)

Now he comes back with Brad Johnson for Darren McFadden. Keep in mind this is a keeper league.

lol he's obviously joking, right? I hate it when people send me rediculous trade suggestions that just annoy me.

I have a strong feeling he is not. This guy took 3 D/ST and 4 kickers at the draft this year, sober.

Is your league for money? if not, you should make it for money to weed out jerk offs who are just jerking around.... if it is for money, you should welcome his action.

Its a money league. $125 per person + $5 per transaction.

It's an odd league. I am not a top tier FF player, I enjoy it, I study a little before drafts but when I went to the draft this year (I am a new expansion team) I was surprised to see these guys with binders full of info that they studied during each pick in the auction draft. Especially this guy. The two biggest "pro FF" guys are 1 win teams. I very much welcome their action. I built my league more for the future, thus taking guys like McFadden and DeShean Jackson and Romo. I had no plan to compete this year but surprisingly sitting on spot off the playoffs.

How the hell could that guy have studied fantasy football, and yet draft 4 kickers and 3 defences? Unless you have like 50 picks or something. In one, very deep league, I drafted 2 defenses, but afterwards I felt it was a mistake, and ended up dropping one. Anytime my kicker has a bye week ,I drop him and draft another. I don't know what material the guy is studying, but he's clearly retarded. I would be annoyed by him sending me rediculous trade requests, however.



Romo/McFadden / Jackson is a great core for the future, btw.

As he put it, it was "trade bait" He took Defenses and Kickers people would want and he would then force trades. It hasn't worked for him yet. With that in mind, I believe he picked up Johnson (who i did try to pick up off waivers once Romo went down) thinking I would be desperate enough to trade something big in order to cover my empty QB slot. I am just not that desperate. I still have McNabb so I can go 1 QB and still win, especially this week since we play each other.

lol @ trade bait. I would never trade anything of value for a kicker or defense.

if i were you... i'd try to trade thomas jones if you're sending him somewhere. jacobs is still going to get goal line carries imo.

well i got another trade going through....

getting Witten/Walters
giving up Favre/Winslow.

I got a trade offer on the table for Chris Johnson and LenDale for LT. I told him I'd consider it after the chargers bye.

also picked up Pierre Thomas.... good thing i got rid of Santonio!!!!

I have to start 3 of these WRs

Roy Williams vs TB
A. Boldin vs CAR
Matt Jones vs. CLE
Donnie Avery vs. NE

Any opinions?

Right now I have Williams on the bench but I think in his home debut, they might try to get him the ball to justify the trade to the hometown fans. Jones gets 5 catches nearly every game but about 60 yards and that's it. Avery has become more involved in the offense since Haslet took over, and with Harrison out maybe he could catch a bomb (or two).

Oh, and with S Jackson not expected to play I have to choose one of these three: Julius Jones, McAllister, Warrick Dunn?

I dunno, Roy Williams is more talented than jones or avery, but that doesn't mean he's getting the ball, and TB is a tough defense ( that's going to work over BJ, I think) I'd stick with your current lineup.


And I'd start Duece. Warrick dunn splits time, and Jones is on a terribad team. Duece is on a great offense and bush is out so he should get even more touches.

Beat: I have to start Jamarcus Russell.

I got Avery in there woot!

AAAAHHHHHHHH!

Thanks for the advice, a few minutes earlier next time...?!?!?

Just Kidding, I'm sure I would have done what I did anyway but I wish I would have started McAllister instead of Jones. I'd be looking good for high score of the week for the league ($25).

Avery and Boldin FTW!

LOL sorry I didn't get the advise sooner, I actuallly thought of you when I saw the game that duece hand. Thank God for Q indeed, he has like 7 touchdowns this season, and he's missed a couple games. He's such a bull. I don't think there's a wide reciever I'd rather have than him, other than maybe Larry Fitzgarald. Warner is my QB too, and the vast bulk of my points have come from that game. With out those two, I'd have like 1 win this season.

I just saw Matt Jones' stats. Should have left the lineup alone. 8rec 117yds 1td I benched him for Williams...oh well still had a good week.

If you have Minnesota defense you can go ahead and get rid of them. Pat and Kevin Williams are both being suspended 4 games for the same pills Deuce Mccallister was using.

hahahahhah send it.

My fantasy team sucks because I know very little about sports.

Get a job

I'm winning 110 to 61 going into monday night, and he only has indy's D. this one's in the sack. Losing Brady for the season has been so liberating. It's like every win is found money, a total free roll I'm tied for second in my league right now, at 5-3. I don't know that I have a strong enough squad to make a real play off run, but I'm almost guaranteed to make the playoffs at this point, baring a debacle.

In my one league I am currently losing 72-55 going into tonight's game. I have Chris Johnson and Dallas Clark yet to play, but he has Marvin Harrison, Bo Scaife, and the Tennessee D/ST. Here's hoping that Chris Johnson has a big game and Dallas Clark actually puts up some fantasy points...

The good news is that even if I lose, the only other team at 6-1 is also losing and both 5-2 teams have lost their games so I should still be in first. My other league is locked up 136-90.

Dallas clark has been the biggest crap in my mouth. Stupid talented Mr Roto, picking him as the number one tight end. I'm never listening to that guy again about anything, he's a complete hack who tries to be provocative, tries to give "unique" analysis, and ends up making a bunch of retarded predictions.

Yeah Dallas Clark has definetely been the biggest bust of my fantasy picks for that league. It saddens me to know that I had Owen Daniels at one point too but then dropped him early to pick up somebody else (can't remember who). I kept him on my other team and he has done quite well for me. Now I am resorting to stubbornly hanging onto him, hoping in vain that he will finally break out. I mean he has 11 TDs last year, surely he can finish with like 3 or 4. I don't think that is too much to ask.

My biggest overall bust is definetely Carson Palmer though, for obvious reasons.

For the record, Reggie Bush cannot come back soon enough. I am also waiting for Romo to come back so maybe T.O. can start generating meaningful numbers of points again.

Yeah, what a fantastic year bush was having. All dallas players are worthless while BJ is the QB. With the possible exception of the kicker.

weeeeeeeeeee, still won with jamarcus as my starter, 7-1 in 1 league and 6-2 in another...

What's your record in my league? Are you .500 yet? You've got a real barn-burner with brvhrt going. He's not playing a defense, and you're still going to need Clark/Bironas to outscore Wayne by 9 points to win.

Just so everyone knows, my team is somehow demolishing mother****ers.

Rivers

Peterson
Michael "Burner" Turner

Larry Fitzgerald
Rowdy Roddy White

(Roy Williams/Antonio Bryant)

Gates


Thomas Jones, McGahee on the bench. It's going to end up being me and GoBears in a pretty stiff battle for best regular season record and the regular season points total, and I'll lose in the first round of the playoffs to Peter or whomever the 4th seed is.

Faggotron 3000 signing off.

Clark is on the right track so far, already got one score. Lets keep it going and lets get Chris Johnson a TD or two. Just keep the TDs away from Marvin Harrison and Bo Scaife. Glad that Titans player got up and seems to be okay, just got knocked out for a bit there.

FYP

Jesus Christ what a squad.

lol i am okay with all of Indy's offensive points going through Clark, and he seems to be doing a good job so far. If Chris Johnson can get going or D. Clark can break 100 yards recieving, that would help significantly. I need Indy to get over 20 points so the tennessee D/ST doesn't get bonus points for holding them to a low score. In other words, let Clark catch another TD to reward me for my dedication to him in fantasy.



Agreed, that is an absurd squad. Small league or foolish draft choices by other owners? If that is a 12 team squad, that is gross.

I'll be .500 if I win tonight, the 2 TD catches by Clark is def. helping right now. Made a big trade for Cutler since Palmer's out for the season (nice busted pick,) so hopefully I can eek into the playoffs and knock you/Andre out. Although with that team, that's a tall task.

I really want to win the 6-2 league though, 18 people in the league, and so much more live smack talk opportunity if I win (plus a trophy.)

10 team sick thread league. My team was voted 4th best after the draft.

I can see how you being voted 4th is possible, considering I don't think anyone was expecting Rivers, Turner, or Roddy White to be putting up the #s they are currently. I also have the White/Fitzgerald recieving duo on one of my 12 team leagues and it is serving me well. Any team with AP should be seen as a threat on a weekly basis, it just doesn't seem to matter how good the opposing defense is against the run, he always finds a way to put up solid #s.

Edit: Chris Johnson FTW!!!!!!!

sigh my 12 team squad is better imo

oh yea, btw i held off wayne and vinatieri w/ bironas holding a 1 pts lead weeeeeeeeeeee

Dallas clark's corpse finally shows up for a game after I'm ahead by 50 and don't need the points.

That makes one of us, count it! Chris Johnson's TD just put icing on the cake. Now I have a one game lead in one league (7-1) and the only league only two of us are at 6-2 now, going into the week there was a 4 of us at 5-2. I will put my updated rosters on here later in the week, picked up some guys off the FA/Waiver wire now that almost all the bye weeks have passed.

I won by 1.5 points. One more ten yard pass from Manning to Wayne and I would have lost. Started out the season 0-6 and won the last two weeks and am now only one or two games out of being in the playoffs lol. Wish I wouldnt have got pissed after week 6 and traded AP. Mewelde Moore has been my best midseason 3 am pick up.

huge td for me by payton at the end got the win by 3 points from that td

I have a few interesting decisions to make this week, thought I'd get some opinions. For reference, my league includes return yards, so kickoff and punt returners can have quite a bit of value:



We start 3 WR, 2 RB, and one flex. For the RB slots I have to decide between:

Jamal Lewis vs BAL (very good run D)
Ricky Williams vs. DEN (very bad run D)
LenDale White vs. GB (bad run D)

My other RB, Adrian Peterson, will be starting. White likely will, too. So it comes down to Lewis vs. Williams for the flex spot.



For WR, I will be starting Santana Moss and Andre Johnson. The last slot will come down to:

Hines Ward vs. WAS (decent pass D)
Johnnie Lee Higgins (OAK kick returner) vs. ATL (OAK gives up quite a few points, thus returns quite a few kicks)

I'm leaning towards Higgins. In my league, he's actually the 5th ranked WR. Ward is going against a decent pass D, doesn't get tons of yards, and has a QB that is constantly getting banged around.



Speaking of QB, I have Roethlisberger and Garrard. Big Ben scares me with the shaky offensive line. He's either reliable for a solid-but-not-spectacular game or a complete crapfest if he's getting pressured and fumbling/throwing picks. Garrard has been much better in the past weeks. So:

Roethlisberger vs. WAS (decent pass D, horrible protection)
Garrard vs. CIN (pretty good pass D, actually)



Sorry, this got long. Basically I'm deciding between Ricky Williams and Jamal Lewis at RB, Hines Ward and Johnnie Lee Higgins at WR, and Ben Roethlisberger and David Garrard at QB.

scoring system?

RB's get 1 pt/20 yds, 6 for TD, (-1) for fumbles, (-2) for fumbles lost - bonus for 100 yds (2 pts), 150 yds (3), 200 yds (5)
WR's get the same
QB's get 1 pt/50 yds, (-2) for INT, and the same for TD's/fumbles - bonus for 300 yds (1 pt), 350 yds (2), 400 yds (3)

Returners get 1 point/20 return yards - bonus for 100 yds (1 pt), 150 yds (3), 200 yds (5)
