I've got to start 2 RB's, and this is my current depth chart at RB:

Joseph Addai
Cedric Benson
Adrian Peterson
Derrick Ward (just got him off waivers)

----

I know I'm starting Addai, as I know he's the only RB I can fully trust to produce big numbers.


As for my other RB, I'm not so sure. I had high hopes for Benson, but he performed horribly last week -- although it was against a very tough Chargers defense.

I don't want to pull him, and replace him with either Peterson or Ward, and then have his one game failure turn out to be just that -- a one game failure.

But on the other hand, last year I got burnt by drafting Cadillac Williams in the first round, and for the first 7 weeks [i]hoping[/i] he would turn it around...Which he never did.


In your mind, what should I do?

Should I pull Benson? And if so, should I replace him with the rookie Peterson, or Derrick Ward, who will be filling in for the injured Brandon Jacobs? Ward looked awfully strong at the end of the Dallas game..

He had 0 points against Arizona

If I drop him he wil probably do great the rest of the season.
Whats a good unknown TE to pick up?

Add to an already deadly Recieving core.

for my RB core I have a pretty decent group of guys.
I have D. Ward the new starter for the Giants
I have Marion Barber, Rudi Johnson, Thomas Jones and Chester Taylor.

My WRs are R. Moss, S. Moss, R. Curry and Musin Muhammed.

What do you think?? Thomas Jones for Anquan Boldin.. good or bad idea?

This one is totally up in the air for me.

Schaub is playing Carolina, who held the Rams powerful offense to almost nothing, so he's not on the top of my list.

Leinart had a very poor performance last week, and this week is playing the Seahawks, who stuffed the Bucs last week.

And Rivers is facing a very tough (albeit, cheating) defense in the New England Patriots.

---------------

At the moment, I'm kinda leaning toward Rivers, as the Jets did move the ball pretty well against the Pats before Pennington got hurt, but he had a horrible performance last week against the Bears.

Who would you start?

My current running backs are Brandon Jacobs, Ronnie Brown, and Leon Washington - Peyton had a great game but I got creamed otherwise.

I'm in a yahoo league, and receptions don't count as points. You start 1 qb, 2 rb, 3 wr, i te, and a kicker.

I was offered Steven Jackson and Larry Fitzgerald for Reggie Wayne and Willie Parker.

Should I make the trade?

I currently have Tom Brady in a salary cap league and can afford trade for any other QB except for Peyton Manning and Drew Brees.

I'm not really crazy about the match-up against the Chargers, even though it's in New England.

I'm also thinking that Carson Palmer is going to light up the scoreboard like a pinball machine in Cleveland.

Are there any other QB match-ups this weekend that would be as good as Palmer at Cleveland?

NE is my starting DEF (vs SD), but CIN (vs CLE) is looking like a really good match up for me. Considering how terrible CLE is doing and the drama being stirred up with NE, I think starting CIN may be a wise choice. I'm also looking at GB DEF to mangle a Manningless and Jacobsless NYG . So which one, CIN D or GB D?

As for the K:
Jason Hanson (vs Min) - Although Min kept Atlanta out of the endzone, they couldn't stop a Vickless offense from nearly 300 yards of gross offense. This could mean lots of opportunities.
Mason Crosby (vs NYG) - see my BG defense logic.
So, Hanson or Crosby?

Thanks in advance!

I have Drew Brees on the road against Tampa Bay...or
Jake Delhomme at home against Houston.

I started Brees last week and got killed. I am worried how he will do against Tampa, but it's also unlikely that he will have 2 bad games in a row. Delhomme had a great game against the Rams, and I would think he would do even better against Houston. Of course the guy I start will have a bad game and the bench guy will tear the house down. Who would you start? and why?

I'm in a salary cap league that gives points per reception and I need to pick a final flex player for next week. Here are some of the available names that I can afford. Who should I pick up?

WRs

- Lee Evans (BUF @ PIT)
- Andre Johnson (HOU @ CAR)
- Marques Colston (NO @ TB)
- TJ Houshmandzadeh (CIN @ CLE)
- T.O. (DAL @ MIA)
- Plaxico Burress (NYG v GB)
- Hines Ward (PIT v BUF)
- Donald Driver (GB @ NYG)
- Randy Moss (NE v SD)
- Bernard Berrian (CHI v KC)


RBs

- Marshawn Lynch (BUF @ PIT)
- LaMont Jordan (OAK @ DEN)
- Julius Jones (DAL @ MIA)

Because of the points-per-reception and the match-ups that the RBs have, I'm leaning toward a WR. I don't like to chase points. So, someone like Randy Moss or Andre Johnson isn't necessarily a lock for me, particularly with their match-ups. Colston, Houshmandzadeh, Driver, and Berrian have the best match-ups. Burress has a good match-up, but with a back-up QB.

Who do you think I should take and why?

Here is my current roster along with their week 2 opponents.

Besides any of my starters, who do you think I should drop to pick up Brandon Jacob's back up, Derrick Ward? I am heavy on WRs so it seems logical to dump one, but I don't know who is worthless to me yet with them all nursing injuries. Since Brady doesn't miss a game (knock on wood) I could chop Cutler too. Also, if I miss Ward on the waiver wire (I have 4th waiver priority), who are some other RBs I should look at? Should I ignore R. Droughns since D. Ward seems to have the job?

STARTERS:
T. Brady QB - SD
J. Walker WR - Oak
P. Burris WR - GB
L. Tomlinson RB - @NE
B. Westbrook RB - Was
A. Crumpler TE - @ Jac
B. Jacobs RB (this is a RB/WR flex spot) - GB (INJURED)
Denver DEF - OAK
N. Keading K - @NE

BENCH
S. Moss WR Bench - @ Phi
G. Jennings WR Bench - @NYG
T. Glenn WR Bench - @Mia
V. Morency RB Bench - @NYG
J. Cutler QB Bench - OAK
New England DEF Bench - SD

Generally I wouldn't even be asking this, as its a no brainer to play my top guy Rivers.....however since Rivers is playing NE, and Grossman KC...it seems like more points could be scored against KC and the bears might do better against them, than Rivers against NE....What are your thoughts?

2007-09-11 07:35:05 · 9 answers · asked by Triple Threat 6

I currently have Kitna, and Losman as a back up. I was thinking about dropping Losman and picking up Eli Manning in hopes he'll be back. This is my first year playing so I'm not sure what to do.

Lets set it up...

I'm losing going into MNF 113 - 99.

Neither of us have the Ravens/Bengals game

I have Edge, and he has Fitzgerald.

Edge scores 1 TD, 90+ rushing yards, and 20 receiving yards

Fitzgerald gets 20 receiving

Edge gets 17 pts, Fitzgerald gets 2 points...

I win 116 - 115.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I won, but I wanna know what you guys think of the new scoring system after you have seen it work? I'm sure something like this has happened to other people also. Let me know how you feel, what could/should be changed, and other ideas.

Please detail.

Thank you

its hard not to start L.J. but in week 1 he didn't do much. i know he just needs to get in to it because he didn't play any in preseason.--ok so I'm in a 2 back league and i have Travis Henry,Larry Johnson and Adrian Peterson. what 2 do you think i should start ?

I want to change the waiver rules so that on sunday when the games start all players are changed from free agents to waivers until Teusday or Wednesday. That way it will prevent the whole first come first serve bias on picking up people over the weekend. If all players are waivers then everyone can put in there request to pick up a player and waiver priority will designate who gets the player. Makes it more fair for the person that does not sit in front of the tv all day long on sunday.
thanks

-he also splits time with Jessie Chatman and doesn't get solo action.

Who would you start and why? I also have Jessie Chatman as a backup.
