Go ahead, but keep 'em short and sweet.

[cre8tiff]

Hugh! I listened last week and you were spot on, THANKS!

 

This week, I am schtupped.

 

Performance league +1 per rec/rush Will play entire 16 weeks top 3 point total split money.

 

Drop McMahon to pick up Bledsoe?

 

I need to start one of the two this week, since Favre's matchup is against Chi-town. I am over my spending limit on WW acquisitions and would like this WW add to last until the end of the season, while still keeping me in one of those three money spots...

Hugh

 

thanks in advance. I must win to keep my slim playoff hopes alive.

 

I must choose 2 RB, 2 WR and 1 RB/WR...I usually play 3 RBs but this week I am thinking 3 WRs.

 

MBIII @ giants - got the goal line carries but didnt cash in last week, i think he gets like 40 total yards and maybe a TD or 2

 

alstott @ saints - has scored a TD last 4 games, should be opportunities this week

 

ronnie brown vs bills - fumbled twice last week but did score a TD, could see him busting a long run TD, otherwise he is good for like 5-10 points

 

pat pass vs jets - Pats RB situation is mess with dillon and faulk both possibly back but I suspect pass will be the main man sunday. very risky but potentially lucrative upside

 

curtis vs Pats - looked ok last week vs saints, should do ok vs pats unless they get so far behind they must pass...will he get a TD? probably good for like 80 yards and maybe a TD

 

mcgahee @ dolphins - hasnt done shucks like all year but he is due for a big game and coming home to miami I could see him doing well. 80 and TD

 

Jurevicius @ eagles - monday night game, coming off huge game, he is primary reciving target in the red zone but will this game become the sean alexander show? they will only pass as much as they need to which not be much.

 

rod smith @ KC - mr consistency, he is always good for at least 50 and a TD most weeks. I could see a big week here as KC's secondary is suspect and they will have to do more than just run to stay with KC's O.

 

hines ward vs cincy - I am thinking of benching him this week. pitt will be looking to run on cincy, cincy has strong CBs, and I have heath miller who I can see stealing roethlisberger's 1 passing TD. then again he is hines ward and this is a big game.

Hey Hugh,

standard scoring, 5-7 and clinging to a long shot to make the playoffs

 

RB: need 2

*Portis @ STL - nice matchup

*Droughns v. Jax - tough one, but playing well

Martin v. NE - nice matchup but will the Jets throw all day?

MMoore @ DET - Nope

M.Barber @ NYG - Nope

 

WR: need 2

*SSmith v. ATL - stud

*Porter @ SD - may be playing catchup

DDriver @ Chic - had been the starter but has horrible matchup

Parker @ SD

 

D:

*Indy v. Tenn

Vikings @ DET

 

Thanks Buddy!

[nhoops]

and in another league....

 

standard scoring with bonus for +100yds, 10-2 and #1 and playing #3 to secure bye next week

 

WR: need 3

*CJohnson @ Pitt - Stud

Driver @ Chic - bad matchup

*Glenn @ NYG - been average lately

*TJ Housh @ Pitt - steady and thinking of playing along side Chad

Curtis v Was - fading out of the picture and ? with QB

 

RB: need 2

(A.Smith dropping for Rhodes)

 

With the O Line issues and back up QB are those reasons enough to bench Jackson for Carnell?

Hey Hugh-

 

I need to make the right call here and just need some expert advice. I'm leaning towards Willie and Coles...

 

Pick 1 RB:

Willie Parker vs. CIN

or

Caddy Williams vs. NO

 

 

Pick 1 WR:

L. Coles vs. NE

or

D. Bennett vs. IND

HUGH the man:

 

My dilemmas are below with (terrible) free agent alternatives in parentheses. Roster is in sig. Thanks brother.

 

QB - Brees or Collins? (B. Johnson, C. Simms)

 

3rd WR - Wilford, Matt Jones, Eric Parker or Reg. Brown? (Hackett, McCareins, Gabriel, Battle)

 

Flex - Willie Parker, or a WR from above? (WRs above, Dayne, Bryson)

[splotchman]

Hugh,

 

WDIS in standard performance league (1pt per 10 yards, 6pts per TD, no pts for receptions)

 

Pick 1 RB - Caddy @ NO or C.Brown @ Indy

Pick 1 WR- Housh @ Pitt or A.Johnson @ Bal

 

Thanks!!

[panthersfan]

Hey Hugh! Thanks in advance for your help!

 

WDIS - QB:

(Need 1)

Delhomme vs. ATL

B. Johnson @ DET

 

Now the big question...too many good, or what should be good, match-ups.

 

WDIS - WR:

(Need 3 and 1 Reserve)

Harrison vs. TEN (STUD)

J. Smith @ CLE

Jurevicius @ PHI

D. Mason vs HOU

D. Bennett @ IND

Ferguson @ CHI

Robinson @ DET

[bluedog]

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

I'm in my league playoffs (wks. 15-16) and am fine tuning my roster. I am thinking of picking up Kitna as a backup to Palmer. Should I do this and if yes who should I drop?

 

Starters:

Palmer, Carson QB

James, Edgerrin RB

Johnson, Larry RB

Johnson, Chad WR

Smith, Steve WR

Gonzalez, Tony TE

Tynes, Lawrence K

Jaguars, DST

 

Reserves:

Plummer, Jake QB

Brown, Dee RB KC

Jones, Greg RB JAC

Morris, Maurice RB SEA

Rhodes, Dominic RB IND

Engram, Bobby WR SEA

[heydudes]

Bengals D/ST against Pittsburgh - could be a tough matchup. so, should I pick up one of these two defenses to use just for this week? The Arizona Cardinals against San Francisco or the New England Patriots against the Jets?

 

9-3 tied for first, overall points leader, need a little help to clinch top spot due to tiebreaker (#1 tiebreaker is head to head (we are tied) he has a better division record - #2 tiebreaker

 

QB(1): Brady,Bledsoe

RB(2): Tomlinson, Westbrook, Deshaun Foster, Kevin Jones, Dominic Rhodes

WR(3): Marvin Harrison, Burress, Galloway, Eric Parker

TE(1): Cooley, LJ Smith

K(1): Vanderjagt

D/ST(1): Bengals D/ST

 

standard scoring:

6 pts td/1 pt - 10 yards rushing or receiving/1 pt 25 yards passing/0 pts receptions

 

DFR/int - 2 points

DTD - 6 points/sack 1 point

 

PA - Points Against, Total Points Scored

0 - 0 PAs = 10 points

1 - 7 PA = 8 points

8 - 10 PA = 6 points

11 - 14 PA = 4 points

15 - 21 PA = 2 points

22 - 28 PA = 0 points

29 - 35 PA = -2 points

36+ PAs = -4 points

 

STY - Safety

2 points

 

YDS - Yards Allowed

0 - 180 YDSs = 8 points

181 - 220 YDSs = 6 points

221 - 260 YDSs = 4 points

261 - 300 YDSs = 2 points

301 - 340 YDSs = 0 points

341 - 380 YDSs = -2 points

381 - 420 YDSs = -4 points

421+ YDSs = -6 points

 

and if i pick up one of those teams for the week - who should I drop? thanks hugh.

[okayplayer]

Caddy @ NO or T Jones vs GB

 

pick 2:

 

Branch vs Jets

Keyshawn @ Giants

Curtis vs Wash

Joe J @ Philly

 

 

Thx again Hugh!

[soulrebel]

Hi Hugh ... as always, thanks a ton for your input!

 

Looking for advice on who to start as my #2 RB alongside LJ this weekend:

 

- W. Parker vs. CIN

- J. Lewis vs. HOU

- K. Jones vs. MIN

 

I also have Bettis, but I don't think he warrants consideration.

 

They just announced that Parker will start for PIT, and Cincinnatti's run defense is suceptible to some big numbers, so I'm tempted there, but I'm scared of the potential RBBC. KJ is too fragile/unreliable, but maybe Jauron will finally decide to give him the rock with some consistency. Jamal finally had a good day last week, and with C. Taylor questionable and facing the Texans, I'm inclined to start him.

 

Thanks again, and good luck this weekend!

[Roo]

Willie Parker vs. CIN

or

De Shaun Foster vs. ATL

 

Feels like a wash to me. Both teams have something to play for, both RBS have vultures, both are fast and can break a big run. Both can catch (.5 per reception) with a slight nod to Foster. PIT runs better and more often, so slight nod to Parker.

[ramdes]

Is Curtis still a good #3 WR to start this week or do you go with one of the following?

 

Wilford, S. Parker, J. McCareins or A. Battle?

[brighton boys]

Hugh thanks in advance. Standard scoring league

 

Need 2 RB's

 

Rudi @ Steelers (tought matchup)

K.Jones vs Vikings (What will Jauron do and is he really hurt?)

Caddy @ Saints (which caddy shows up)

G.Jones @ Saints (Will fragile fred play)

 

I think caddy is must start and leaning toward Rudi with outside chance of playing G.Jones if Taylor does not play?

 

Need 1 of the 3 WR's

 

Driver @Bears (tough matchup)

Bennett @ Indy ( Leanning this way)

Curtis vs Skins ( Last resort)

C.Henry vs Steelers (team I'm Playing has Palmer at QB)

 

Thanks

[linkster]

Thanks in advance Hugh!

 

WW pickup, Jamal or C. Martin?

 

Thinking of dropping Fast Willie. Heading into playoffs...worth it?

 

My other RBs are LJ, James, Rudi. I’m in an 8-team Performance League. Also D. Foster, Greg Jones are available.

 

Hold pat or make a move?

 

THANKS!

[darin3]

OK Hugh-ster, I rolled with your call on Willie Parker (over the Joneses, Kevin and Greg) last week. It didn't affect me; got a win via Harrison's big catch and the Indy D. Parker racked up 6.6 points. Greg Jones' game was pretty bland for the first three quarters, and then rumbled into the endzone for a score. So, truly was a toss-up if it weren't for that one late play. Anyways, this week is rather important - facing a team stacked with hugh WRs that should put up some points.

 

That said:

 

Parker @ CIN - He had a HUGH game last meeting.

G. Jones @ CLE - Cherry matchup IF he's the starter.

K. Jones vs. MIN - Does Jauron "get it"?

C. Brown @ IND - Crappy matchup, really.

 

I'm leaning towards Brown and Parker again, but am tempted to play a Jones again. Greg moreso than Kevin, if Taylor sits. Thoughts?

 

Also, while I got ya here, my 2nd/3rd WRs are giving me some brain pains. Obviously starting Harrison, but as for my 2/3, I have Curtis, Andre Johnson and Jerry Porter (Clayton too, but no). Thinking of going with Johnson and Porter given STL's not-so-hot matchup and Fitzpatrick at QB.

 

Thanks, as always, Hugh.

[timk]

Who would you go with:

 

1. Farve vs the Bears in Chicago

2. McNair vs. Colts in Indy (on short week)

3. Garard vs Cle in Cle

 

NOTE: I also have the Bears Defense.

 

Thoughts, comments, suggestions, snide remarks?????

[Guest ksu70]

Hugh-

 

Looking for any edge for the playoffs. My DST's are Buffalo and Atlanta. They are hit and miss. Do you see any fliers with these WW options? San Diego, Green Bay, Cleveland or New England? I am a little curious about San Diego and even NE when they play the Jets, or, just go with what I have?

[Gopher]

Kevin Jones vs MIN

Chris Brown @ IND

M Barber vs NYG

 

or pick up

R. Williams vs BUF

 

6 pts for TD's and bonus points for 50+ yards rsh/rec

[Superpickle]

Hugh

 

need to pick one of the following RBs to go with LT

 

Rudi@ Pitt tough matchup

M Anderson @ KC who is going to get the majority of the carries him Bell or Dayne

G Jones/ F Taylor @ Cle which ever one starts

 

First instinct is to start rudi even with the bad matchup at least I know he will get his 20 touches.

 

Thanks
