Caveman_Nick Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 (edited) I know it's still early, but... This is something those of us in our FF playoffs need to keep an eye on. Which Az Wideout will Bailey line up against? Any Denver Homers that can provide a tip-off will have at least my appreciation EDIT: FWIW, I am already considering sitting Boldin for Furrey in one league and Fitzgerald for Chris Henry in another...

Randall Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I would think it would be Fitz. He is bigger and a bigger play threat, but that's just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithkt Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I would think it would be Fitz. He is bigger and a bigger play threat, but that's just my opinion. I could be wrong, but hasn't Bailey been lining up on one side of the field rather than being matched up with a specific receiver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCMB Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I'm interested in this as well, but I pretty much have to play L-Fitz regardless. FWIW - I would never bench Fitz or Boldin for Mike Furrey. Chris Henry playing against Indy, maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caveman_Nick Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 You are not wrong. This is what I thought as well, which is why I imagine he will match up with one of the receivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our WR/TE ppr league, Furrey is just a hair behind Boldin and ahead of Fitz in FF ppg. The guy gets a lot of attention in a Martz offense.

Well, whichever WR predominantly lines up on the AZ right side of the O will get Champ's attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to see information on players he has been matched up with, but I don't think it would be readily available. Mike Furrey versus the GBP happens if it's Boldin versus Bailey. I can't afford to have a player produce no stats, and they have been virtually the same player for the last 6 weeks FF wise. I have other options for picking up players out of the FA pool as well, but I'd prefer not to fret about it until I know how the match-up will land.

Azazello1313 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 simple. champ will cover whoever is lined up on the right side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I would never bench Fitz for any reason... Even if you had other WRs filling your league's starting requirements who are scoring better than Fitz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xMRogers Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 so does anyone watch enough of the cards to know where fitz (or boldin) usually lines up? Going against Fitz, so hoping fitz is on right most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After doing a little research, you might be right about Furrey. I guess I've just consciously chosen to pretend DET doesn't exist this year - I can't remember even watching them on Thanksgiving!

Sam Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I've watched a few Arizona games this year as I have both Fitz and Boldin. I believe Fitz lines up on the right side more often than not but someone who follows the Cards (if there is anyone) could probably give a more definite answer.

Azazello1313 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 (edited) so....has anyone around here watched a cards game this season or what? :D Edited December 11, 2006 by Azazello1313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhippens Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 (edited) i have fitz on one of my teams so i actually pay attention to this quite a bit. i have no idea if there is a percentage that is strong one way or the other that fitz lines up on a certain side. but i have noticed that both he and boldin line up on both sides of the field, also both with a slot guy (generally b.johnson) on their inside depending on the formation. yesterday there were also a few plays that fitz was lined up in a slot type of position and worked the middle of the field. i can pay attention this week and see if i can come up with a percentage but that certainly won't help for this particular question. overall, i would say the cards will continue to mix it up and send whoever they chose against bailey for thier particular goal on that play. it would seem that leinart is looking to fitz a bit more, but that may be a product of defenses trying to limit boldin's YAC since that is where he seems to shine. sorry that this is very vague information, but i just don't have any statistics that i have written down to back it up. but for sure, those receivers are not set on the same side of the field for the whole game. edit: dbaxx or soup may be able to add to this or at least agree or disagree because i know they've seen many games as well.
