I have Driver on my squad and I'm tentatively starting him over Keyshawn, Rod Gardner, and Curtis Conway. The two things you need to consider are 1) If Rodney Peete and the Panthers could roll up 52 points against the Bengals, what will Brunell and Smith do? and 2) The weakness of the SF passing...
Good News!
I'm in the playoffs!
Bad News!
My opponent's week 15 starters
QB - Tom Brady
Leads the NFL with 26 TD passes, 5th in passing yards, faces Tennessee - allowing most passing TDs in NFL
RB - Ladanian Tomlinson
Averaging 105.8 rushing yds per game, faces Buffalo - 2nd worst...
OK coaches, how do I maximize my points this week?
Three wide receivers get to start. Driver and Burress have locked up the #1 and #2 spots. Conway is questionable to play at all. Who's the best WR play this week out of these three options?
Laveranues Coles (at home) vs the Denver Broncos...
OK gang... since you're all so quiet.
Starting Running Backs?
1. Travis Henry vs New (Jersey) York Jets (definite start)
and
Pick one:
Ahman Green vs Tampa Bay (third fewest points given up to fantasy RBs)
Eddie George vs Baltimore (Ray Lewis doubtful, Eddie's scoring touchdowns)...
Ricky Williams didn't have any trouble running all over the Ravens last week, so that's a good sign for Eddie. I benched him last week and he scored two touchdowns. Both he and Toomer have similar risk value it terms of matchups, but I think Eddie has a higher potential reward value due to his...
Last year we used a system where a head-to-head victory counted for one point and placing in the top half of the scorers for the week counted for another point. Each week your team had the opportunity to gain zero, one, or two points. The top four (out of ten) point getters made the playoffs...
Evan, My money league is using a power ranking system to counteract your problem. We rank the teams based on head-to-head record, total points scored, and record vs. whole league. These three ranking lists are converted into points and summed to determine the overall rankings. I've had...
Donovan McNabb gets sacked on the third play of the game, breaking his ankle. He returns to the game and proceeds to eat the Cards defense up to a tune of 255 yards and 4 TDs. Now that same ankle has him sidelined for the rest of the regular season. Donovan, you are a man among boys. Get well...
Tiki shows up as 11th among running backs, Galloway 28th and Bradford 17th among WRs. Ricky is 8th among running backs. The trade happened immediately prior to week 9. The guy who gave up Ricky had Qadry, Troy Brown, Eddie Kennison, J.J Stokes, and Bubba Franks as his wide receivers. Galloway...
My trade value represents the fantasy points scored by that player in our scoring system, the only currency that ultimately matters. Everyone dogs on Keyshawn and Gardner, but they have been out there healthy every week making catches and producing fantasy points. They sit on my bench because I...
I'm giving up on offering fantasy advice. I can't believe I was that wrong about how the Philly - Indy, Denver - Oakland, and SF - KC games would turn out. Everyone should just flip a damn coin on their start/bench decisions from now on.
What made last night so bad:
a. I'm a Broncos fan...
[Ring Ring]
Philadelphia: Hello...
Me: Yes I'm trying to reach the Eagles defense.
Philadelphia: We haven't seen them all day.
Me: Could I leave them a message? Could you tell them when you see them that they were supposed to show up at the stadium today? Thanks a bunch.
:frowning...
Thanks for the confirmation guys. My first instinct was to put Henry and Burress in the lineup. My hesitancy was based on the following: Eddie George (vs Jacksonville - 26th best rush defense) Travis Henry (vs Houston - 22nd best rush defense) Kevan Barlow (vs Seattle - 31st best rush...
Alright prognosticators, weigh in on these start/bench dilemmas In my lineup already: Rich Gannon (vs St. Louis) Ahman Green (vs New England) Donald Driver (vs New England) Curtis Conway (vs Kansas City) I need one more running back from the following: Eddie George (vs Jacksonville)...
