I have the Indy Def & Denver Def - I am concenered about how Indy's Def has been playing as of late.

 

Do you think Jax DEF is enough of an upgrade over Denver that I shoudl deal Ward for them & Gonzalez?

 

We do not require TEs in my league, they are used as WRs. My other WRs: S. Smith, Fitzgerald, Kev Curtis, Lee Evans.

 

Let me know your thoughts.

 

Thanks!!!!

Hi Hugh. :D

 

WDIS? Hated By Many or biggamer3?

 

:D

 

No, really, OK. Pick 2:

 

Chrissy Brown vs. SF

Parker @ IND

G. Jones @ ARI

K. Jones vs. ATL

 

Leaning towards Brown and K. Jones, although I see merit in starting the other Jones if Freddy T is out.

 

Thanks, as always. :D

 

And hell, while I'm at it...

 

McMahon or Martin? Thought for sure Martin was a better choice, but saw our esteemed leader estimates McMahon with a monster game. Your thoughts?

Hey Hugh,

 

Been away from the board for a bit, need a little help this week.

 

League 1 standard scoring

 

RB: need 2

*Portis v. SD

*Droughns @ Minn

MMoore v. Clev.

Martin v. NO

MBarber v. Den

Pittman v. Chic

 

Minn has been tough on the run and MMoore is improving but could Tice pull a Tice and go back to Bennett. Barber, despite the 2 TD's, has Jones stealing touches. I think I stick with Portis and Droughns, thoughts?

 

League 2 standard scoring, bonus for over 100 yds

 

WR: need 1 to go with Chad Johnson and Driver

Glenn v. Den

Curtis @ Hou

TJ Housh v. Balt.

 

Was thinking Curtis due to the matchups but I also have Stephen Jackson going. Glenn has been up and down but it would be nice to have a guy on Turkey Day.

 

Edit: Would you start the Vikings D v. Clev. over Indy @ Pitt

 

Thanks!

 

Happy Turkey Day!

I need to pick one of these two guys to start this week:

 

Reuben Droughns @ MIN (Droughns has come on strong, but so has the Vikes D-Line)

 

or

 

Julius Jones v. DEN (Nationally Televised home game, but against a tough Denver team and with Barber hawking carries)

 

 

[12-team league, standard performance + TD scoring]

Well, several thoughts. The Indy defense is not as good as their rankings/numbers, because they had a VERY light schedule early on. I think Jax and Den are probably better FF defenses the rest of the way out. I don't think Jax is much of an upgrade at all. So, I would not move Ward for Gonzo.

 

With Fitz and Smith you have 2 nice WR's. Evans plays well with Losman, so that should help as well. Curtis is useless with Holt and Bruce healthy, I might look to drop him if there are options on the WW.

What's up with the av?

Hugh,

 

stick w/ ATL @DET or pick up

 

NO @NYJ

GB @PHI

TEN vs SF

MIN vs CLE

SD @WAS

 

I'm inclined to stay put but ATL has killed me last 2 weeks and it is Lions on Turkey Day.

 

I've had to start both Bell and Anderson lately and need to pick up an RB to start in place of Bell. Here's what's out there

 

1. Foster @BUF

2. Chester Taylor @CIN

3. JJ Arrington vs JAC

4. Greg Jones @ARI

5. Fisher @PHI

 

I like Foster but if Taylor is announced out by tomorrow I'll snag him. Or should I cut Peterson and pick up both Foster and Jones?

 

Lastly,

 

Pollard vs ATL

Franks @PHI

 

I like Pollard and need to cut one of these guys to make room for the extra def

Hugh,

QB question.  Vick vs Det or Eli Manning vs Sea?  Vick has been hot the last 2 weeks but will he cool down?  Manning has been consistent.  Appreciate the help.

I actually like Vick here. The Lions are good against the run at home, so Vick should have to pass, and based on last weeks success, he might actually have some confidence in throwing the ball. I see Manning having a tough game on the road against a strong secondary.

Hi Hugh, I'm vying for a playoff spot. Couple of questions for ya this week:

 

QB McMahon or Warner: I believe McMahon should do well at home, Warner probably will be good for 1 TD and about 200 yds.

 

RB Pick 1 - J.Jones, M.Barber, C.Taylor, or JJ Arrington. I'm leaning towards Jones, starting to get more work, and should play better at home, on Turkey day.

 

Thanks.

Very tough call. Your better RB's have the tough matchups. They all give up touches, which sucks. Tough. Very tough. I think you play the matchup and give Brown the nod, and then I'd lean towards Tiki, and hope he gets his first road TD of the year. I don't think any of these 3 will do very well this week.

 

Moss has been cold, and has a tough matchup. Glenn is too inconsistent. Andre Johnson hasn't scored yet this year, and has pretty much sucked, but has a great matchup. I never start anyone on the Lions. Edwards has emerged to be a solid option the last few weeks, and will only get better, and plays a secondary without Smoot, so if Winfield draws Bryant, Edwards could do well.

 

So, in short: I'd take a chance, although it's a HUGH risk on A. Johnson, and then I'd start Edwards for sure.

 

Good luck, I think you're going to need it. :D

Thanks Hugh! I have quandries in two leagues, soory about the length!!

 

League # 1 Standard Performance Scoring:

 

QB: Warner, McMahon or Martin?? Warner is the hottest hand, but those matchups with McMahon and Martin! (Though Martin has a running game)

 

2nd RB: FWP or Melwelde Moore? OR <gulp> K. Jones??

 

2nd WR: Braylon Edwards or Matt Jones?

 

League # 2: Performance +1 per rec/rush -2 int/fum +5 for 100+ rec/rush yrds

 

QB: 2 of 3 Warner, Favre, McMahon

 

2nd RB: T. Jones or M. Anderson

 

3rd WR: Engram or Bruce

 

 

Thank you SOOO much Hugh!! :D

Tough call at RB. I'm never a fan of start Lions, but the Falcons defense is soft, and I think they've given up a rushing TD in just about every game. And the Lions are home, which could help as well. I'd actually start KJ here. I don't see good things for Dunn this week.

 

Leftwich is hot, the Cards secondary sucks. That means a potential for good things. Start Leftwich.

 

Brees or Warner (I'm conveniently leaving Suckass out of the equation, in case you didn't notice). I go with Warner here. With Fitz and Boldin, he has the big play WR's that can help his numbers. Both are hot, both have decent matchups, both should score nice fantasy numbers, but I like Warner.

 

Bennett.

Chris Brown is the no-brainer here.

At RB, I'd start Parker, and here's why: The Colts rushing defense is ranked high, but they had a soft schedule early which inflates the hell out of those numbers. The Lions flat out suck ass, and could be down by 30 after the first quarter, rendering KJ more useless than normal. Parker is in, Staley is out, MNF, etc.

 

Parker and Brown. 2 good starts.

 

I was at the Giants game and saw McMahon play first hand. He sucked. And last week, he fumbled 3 times, all of which were recovered luckily by the Beagles. And, he has no WR's. There is no way in hell I would start McMahon over Martin. :D

 

Sometimes the huddle is wrong. :D
