eags Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 all the so called experts had this guy on top of the waiver list. i was even watching ff now on sunday and that nit wit said he still loved harrison even though lewis was playing. i'm done with these bums! anyone can watch the previous weeks games and write down who has a good week then add them to their free agent pickup list. gee let me guess who will be on the top of the list this week? maclin, collie maybe? the huddle actually has matt ryan and matt hasselbeck as no brainers on their free agent forecast. no crap! even if them two are on anyones waiver wire, they only put them there because they had a great week. as of sunday though, the experts were telling you to be carefull with starting hasselbeck. i'm pissed!

Double Agent Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 For $25, I expect The Huddle to be able to predict the future. I've got a sick feeling no psychics are on staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beatings Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 How do you get dressed in the morning? Fantasy Football requires a little bit of critical thinking. If someone has a bad take, you should be able to distinguish that from the good advice out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonkis Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I chuckle when I think of people getting disappointed that the Brown's players haven't performed up to some expected level. Have you actually seen them play? It's barely professional football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzac Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Anyone with half a brain in their head thought Harrison would have a solid game. Jamal had practiced once in the last 2 weeks, is old and slow and Mangini has done nothing but stroke Harrison to the media. Fatboy's decision to give Jamal 30+ carries came completely out of nowhere and was not even in the realm of predictability - neither was DA's inability to so much as connect with little checkdown dump passes against the vaunted Buffalo Bills defense. I fault no expert for recommending you play Harrison or anyone for listening to them. I fault (i) the wind and (ii) Mangini. It's not like the "experts" have insights to the inner workings of Mangini's retarded mind . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheikYerbuti Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 How exactly was Harrison a worse waiver pickup than Massaquoi?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 How exactly was Harrison a worse waiver pickup than Massaquoi?? At least Massaquoi was targetted a few times and will continue to start as their WR1. Harrison was bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzac Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 At least Massaquoi was targetted a few times and will continue to start as their WR1. Harrison was bad. Half of Harrison's value comes from his involvement in the passing game - he was as much a victim of DAs general suckiness than anyone else. If the passing game were clicking at all, I assume they wouldn't have resorted to running the ball 40 times (30 times with Jamal) and Harrison would've been more involved overall.

True, but it doesn't look good if the other RB gets the rock 3-4 times more than you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Muto Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I spent $500 on Massaquoi and I started him over Heath Miller and lost my game because of it...had I not got Massaquoi I would have won. So let me recap I spent 1/2 my FA money for the year on a guy who caught me 1 pass for 16 yards and lost a game because of it in a league where only 2 out of 12 make the playoffs and I am 3-2 instead of 4-1 now. Ya I think that qualifies as worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Who here thinks Jamal Lewis won't get hurt again and/or won't finish out the season as the primary back? I picked up Harrison on a recommendation here after week 3 & he paid big dividends. Last week I started him again because I didn't think Lewis would play. Oh well, kicking myself for making the wrong decision, but happy I got a player who I know has a good shot to produce later in the season.

isleseeya Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 opinions and suggestions are given by FF experts based primarily on the info they have available ...then its up to the FF player to decide on their own what to do sometimes it works , sometimes it does not ...thats FF however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I think that qualifies as worse If I had told you Massaquoi would have half of all of Anderson's completions in the game, you'd still have started him. It's too bad he only completed 2.

So you are saying you got what you paid for but because the huddle was wrong this week with their insight on Harrison you are mad? "be careful starting" says to me "Risk/Reward" more than "SIT"...but it is clear that you are looking for something that you can't buy, perfection...if you find a site that utilizes a crystal ball and is 100% right all the time by all means please come back and tell me because I will be the 1st to get in line to pay for it...and as far as it pertains to me if I don't have a good handle on a situation I have no problem saying so....however, since I write about IDP there are times when a player gets injured and who will be the replacement isn't as easy to always figure out as it is on the offensive side of the ball and it could have a chain reaction for the rest of the D too...but I know that if I am doing my research and finding trends and utilizing them to make sound recommendations then at the end of the day I can sleep well.

Is this a joke? Seriously - stop crying, think for yourself a bit and wake up. Fantasy "experts" give their educated guesses based on research - same thing any consultant does in the real world. Are they wrong a lot? Yep - but you'd be much dumber from a fantasy perspective without their advice/information. They're not going to guarantee you win your league, but they'll certainly give you a better chance than if you went in blind. All of this, of course, assumes that you're able to think for yourself and accept a little accountability if you blindly do whatever the experts recommend. I guess it's just easier to point the finger at someone else though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
