Free Fantasy Advice Here - Week 11

[Hugh 0ne]

Hugh, who you think will post better FFL numbers the rest of the season, Deuce McAllister or Jamal Lewis? Thanks.

573281[/snapback]

 

Well, with the injury it becomes easier, I'd have to say McAllister. Regardless, NO has the much softer rushing schedule, so even if Lewis was healthy, I'd probably still take McAllister.

[Hugh 0ne]

Hugh, This is a cool thread. thanks for your help in advance.

 

Need to start 3 RBs out of this list

 

S.Alexander

Julius Jones

Pittman

McGahee

Chris Brown

 

I am leaning towards Alexander (no brainer), Pittman and Julius.

I am thinking that I will wait to see what Chris Brown does this weekend to decide on him in the future. Basically I am thinking that McGahee or Jones is the hardest choice here. Your thoughts?

 

Also, Pick 1 WR/Flex out of this:

Moulds - I see you like him for this week, but he has been hurting thanks to Bledsoe

Fitzgerald

Johnnie Morton

 

Thanks and have a good turkey day

Do not bench Alexander. Ever. Do not bench Pittman, unless at some point we see that Alstott really has become a TD vulture. Bench Brown this week because of the injury, even if he plays he's a risk, and you have other good options. So, McGahee or Julius Jones? I think you have to give it to Jones. Alexander, Jones and Pittman.

[Hugh 0ne]

QB-Who is the best choice for this week?

I've got Drew Brees at KC.

Then Byron Leftwich returns up at the Metrodome vs. the Vikes.

And I have Michael Vick at home vs. the Saints. 

I have liked Brees, but the huddle has low expectations on their projections this week?  Whaddya think? Thank you.

573353[/snapback]

 

LT coming back in full force will probably hurt Brees, unless defenses really decide to put 8 in the box all game long, making Brees a bit of a risk from a fantasy perspective.

 

I think Leftwich is a good option.

 

I think Vick is a good option.

 

I think I'd play the matchup:

 

KC pass D: 243 YPG, 18 TD's

Vikes pass D: 227 YPG, 16 TD's

Saints pass D: 270 YPG, 18 TD's

 

I think I'd give Vick a chance. With the horrible Saints pass defense (last in the NFL), and Vick's ability to get yards with his feet, he sould do very well. Leftwich is still banged up, so I'd bench him just in case, and although I hate to bench Brees because he's been so good, most of his good numbers were when LT was out and/or hurt, which isn't the case anymore.

[Hugh 0ne]

Here is one for you.

 

Is it time to bench Tiki for the week? I know he got over 100 yards again last week with no TD but with the change in QB you never know.

 

I have Edge so he will be starting this week and the other two choices i have are:

 

Tiki VS Phili

Deuce M VS N.O.

Thanks in advance

 

573369[/snapback]

 

 

 

 

I'd bench Barber for McAllister. I think the Giants may find themselves down by quite a few points very quickly, and the Eagles will really try to make Eli beat them with his arm. I'd be SHOCKED if Tiki gets 100 total yards.

[Hugh 0ne]

Hugh....last week I was very tempted to bench Horn for Kennsion but just couldnt pull the trigger.  This week I am thinking much of the same.  Pease pick my 3 best choices this week.  Thanks

 

Burleson @ JAC

Harrison @ DET

Horn @ ATL

Stallworth @ ATL

Kennison @ SD

 

What do you think also what TE would you use this week.

 

NYJ @ F. Jones (new qb in az)

STL @ B. Franks

Putzier @ OAK

 

Much appreciated Hugh

 

573383[/snapback]

 

 

 

 

Harrison and Horn are no-brainers. Forget Stallworth, he had one good game last week, bench his ass until he shows some consistency, which will probably be NEVER. So, Kennison or Burleson? I go Burleson. Too many options in KC. No options in Minnesota. Burleson should get plenty of looks, with or without Moss in the lineup.

 

At TE, I give the nod to Putzier. All are decent options, none are great options.

[Hugh 0ne]

Eric Johnson or Dallas Clark TE mandatory 1 pt 10 yards rec 6 pt TD

 

573392[/snapback]

 

 

 

 

I think you HAVE to go with Eric Johnson here.

[Hugh 0ne]

It's looking like a disaster but maybe you can pull it out for me. I need to pick 5 of the following (1 pt/10, 6pt/td):

 

Brown vs HOU  (if he plays how effective can he be? I lean towards starting him. I also have Smith if he doesn't play.)

DD vs TEN  (I think I have to start him)

C. Taylor vs NE (Lost Lewis and don't think this is a good match-up for Taylor)

Portis vs PIT (ASYS but does this hold true for Portis now?)

Walker vs STL (I hate the predicted weather conditions, but think he is a must start)

Johnson vs TEN  (Not a great option but seems to play better at home)

Stokely vs DET  (The long shot, but might be worth the gamble)

 

OK, so i'm thinking:

 

Brown

DD

Walker

Johnson

 

Then one more from:

 

Portis

Taylor

Stokely

 

I love to start RB's but Portis and Taylor have terrible match-ups.

 

573407[/snapback]

 

 

 

 

I think you've got it right on the money, and I'd add Stokely to the mix. Portis hasn't been good, and now he faces the toughest rush defense in the league. Bad news for him. Taylor will have a tough go against a very solid rush defense, that is even tougher at home. So, go with Stokely. He was shut down last week, so it's highly unlikely that'll happen again, especially against the Lions.

[dbwebhead]

Starting lineup for this week:

QB D. Culpepper vs. Jac

WR R. Wayne @Det

WR K. McCardell@KC

WR I. Bruce @GB

RB R. Droughns vs. Oak

RB J. Jones vs. Chi

TE A. Crumpler vs. NO

K N. Kaeding @KC

DEF Cincinnati vs. Cle

Bench:

BN W. Dunn vs. NO

BN D. Givens vs.Bal

BN J. Lewis @NE

BN Ro. Williams vs. Ind

BN T. Brady vs. Bal

 

The only substitutions I was thinking of doing are:

 

Ro. Williams for McCardell

and/or

W. Dunn for Julius Jones

 

Is this crazy or should I stay put?

[Hugh 0ne]

This must really keep you busy.... I appreciate your opinion

 

Scoring in sigline...

 

Pick 3 of each RB and WR (* denotes my gut feel)

 

C. Brown vs. HOU

B. Westbrook vs. NYG*

M. Pittman vs. CAR*

D. McAllister vs. ATL*

O. Smith vs. JAC

 

R. Moss vs. JAC*

D. Mason vs. HOU*

D. Branch vs. BAL

M. Clayton vs. CAR*

 

can play a flex:  K - josh Brown or another one of the above?

 

573409[/snapback]

 

 

 

 

I think you've got it right on the money, but keep your eye on Moss. I don't think the Vikes will play him if they won't use him and/or if he's not healthy enough to play, so if he goes, start him.

 

I don't like Westbrook, as he doesn't get enough touches, so if Brown is HEALTHY, I'd consider Brown over Westbrook, but you'll have to wait and see.

[Hugh 0ne]

oh Hugh need your input....

 

I need to start 2 wr and my choices are

Chad Johnson, Randy Moss, Nate Burelson, Justin Mcerains or L.Coles

 

i am thinking about chad and Randy but he may be iff so should i play burelson instead?

 

also who do i start at te?  D.Grahm or Jeb Putzier... thank you in advance and have a great holiday!!!

 

573442[/snapback]

 

 

 

 

Chad Johnson and Randy Moss. As I mentioned before, I think the Vikes will only suit up Moss if he's healthy and if they plan on using him, so if he goes, start him. If not, I'd plug Burleson in for Moss.

 

Putzier over Graham.

 

And Happy Thanksgiving to you.

[Hugh 0ne]

Whatup Hugh!  I am in a std performance league and am in 1st place ( for the first time ever!)

 

My Team:  Peyton Manning; Brian Griese

 

                D. Davis; K. Jones; TJ Duckett; Moe Williams

 

                R. Wayne; K. McCardell; J. Jurevicius

 

                Tony Gonzales

 

                Buffalo D and Houston D

 

We play 1 QB; 2 WR; 2 RB; 1 TE; 1 flex (WR or RB) and  1 K and 1 Def.

 

I am playing the 3rd place team and need this win to stay in first.

 

I am starting Manning, Wayne, Davis, Jones for sure.  My question is about the flex. 

Do I start Duckett against a pathetic Saints run Def. or Moe Williams who has scored the last 2 weeks on my bench?  I also have the option to start Jurevicius at the flex, or I could bench McCardell and start Jurevicius as a WR and put a RB in the flex.  Help!

 

As always, thanks for the advice.  Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

 

573454[/snapback]

 

 

 

 

Keep McCardell in and Jurevicius on your bench. Start Duckett over Williams. They're both a bit hit or miss, but Duckett should get more touches giving him more opportunities. Good luck.

[Hugh 0ne]

Hey Hugh.  Happy Turkey Day.

 

I'm out of the playoffs in my "main" league, but I still want to have a respectable showing.

 

My question relates to Ahman Green.  Do I risk it and hope he plays?  Or do I play Sammy Morris (vs. SF - but he's questionable and Minor's getting the start), Eddie George (vs. Chi - but Jones getting most of the carries) or Onterrio Smith (vs. Jax - in the RBBT [running backs by Tice])?

 

Thanks Hugh!

 

Also...

 

To all reading/posting on this thread... I have started my IDP Advice Thread.  Feel free to check it out and ask any IDP-related queries!

 

573492[/snapback]

 

 

 

 

 

That's a pretty crappy situation.

 

I think you have to wait and see with Green. If he plays you have to start him imo. If it's clear he won't play, you really only have one option as of right now, and that's Onterrio Smith.

 

Dallas is going to give Julius Jones a chance to show what he can do. I think the 5 carries Eddie had last week is probably what you can epect from him from here on out, so he is not an option. From what I've seen/read, Minor is start and Morris probably won't play. That leaves you with Onterrio.

 

You'll have to keep an eye on both Ahman and Morris. If Morris were to miraculously recuperate and Green is out, Morris could have a nice game against a horrible defense.

 

So, if Green starts, start him.

If Green sits and Morris starts, start Morris.

If Green and Morris sit, start Onterrio.

 

 

IMO, scenario 1 or 3 are the likely possibilities. If Green's status is unclear by the time you have to declare your lineup, just go with Onterrio so you at least get some points for sure.

 

Good luck, and thanks for the detailed response in your IDP thread.

[MeanJoe]

WDIS RB -standard performance - pick one of the following...

 

 

Dillon v. BAL

Bettis v. WAS (assuming Staley is out)

Dunn v. NO

Westbrook @ NYG

 

I've been feasting with the Bus, but I fear tough D may prevail. Same thing with Dillon. Should I go with Dunn & hope for big gain TDs? Westbrook looking healthy again? Dunno.

 

Danke

[Hugh 0ne]

Happy Thanksgiving Hugh One,

 

I have a qb dilemma in two leagues.  Scoring is 1 pt. per 25 yards passing, all td's are 6 points, interceptions and fumbles lost are -2 each.  Pick one for each league:

 

League 1 - Brady at home vs. Ravens, Carr at home vs. Titans, or Delhomme at home vs. Bucs.

 

League 2 - Griese at Panthers or Carr at home vs. Titans.

 

Thanks.

 

573503[/snapback]

 

 

 

 

Carr.

 

and Griese.

 

Gives you 2 QB's to route for.

 

Seriously, I like Carr better than Delhomme or Brady, but Griese better than Carr. None of these guys will have very good days imo.

[Hugh 0ne]

Hi Hugh,

 

I'm already starting Morton and Fitz, I need to start a 3rd

 

Pinkston @ Giants      Starting to get the ball more...maybe

Bryant @ Bengals      "worthless"  Browns have no O-Line

Evens @ SeaHawks    Has big ability, but has Bledsoe throwing the ball

Llyod vs Fins              Good WR against an even better secondary

Terrell @ Cowboys      Good WR, Bad QB, against bad secondary, I'm a Mich Fan

Who should start at the 3rd WR Spot.

 

100yds=10pts 1 additional pt per 10yds there after.  No points until 100yds.

 

TD=6pts

 

Thanks and have a Happy Thanksgiving

 

573509[/snapback]

 

 

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

 

Forget Pinkston. He sucks, and he's inconsistent. Forget Bryant, doesn't matter what team he plays for, he still sucks and doesn't produce. Lloyd has a terrible matchup, bench his arse.

 

So, Terrell or Evans. Holy crap is that horrible. Play the matchup:

 

Dallas Pass D: 230 YPG, 22 TD's

Seattle Pass D: 221 YPG, 12 TD's

 

Play Terrell and say about 25 hail Mary's before gametime.

[Hugh 0ne]

WDIS @ WR

I can start two of the following

 

Nate Burleson @ DET

Keenan McCardell @ KC

Eddie Kennison @ SD

Quincy Morgan @ CHI

 

.1 pts/yrd Rec/Rus

6 pts/TD Rec/Rus

-1 pts/fumble

 

573523[/snapback]

 

 

 

 

I'd start Burleson and McCardell.

 

Forget Morgan. Kennison is not a bad option, but IMO there are too many options in KC.

 

Good luck.

[Hugh 0ne]

Hugh, thanks for your help.

 

Need to start 2 RBs, 2 WRs, and a flex. Standard scoring: 1 point per 15 yards rushing or receiving and 6 points per TD.

 

I have penciled in Ahman and LT at RB + Randy Moss, Harrison, and Horn at WR. I could switch one of those out with Julius Jones.

 

Would you make a switch and if so...who?

 

573538[/snapback]

 

 

 

 

Be careful with Ahman, that decision might be made for you if he doesn't play. If he does, I'd consider benching Horn for Jones. Jones is going to get his chance to prove himself, and might be worth a start.

[Lost]

Hey Hugh, I just got offered a trade in which I receive Byron Leftwich and he receives Warrick Dunn. Below are our teams:

 

My Team:

 

Hassellbeck, Griese

A Green, F Taylor, C Brown, A Smith, A Thomas, W McGahee, W Dunn

R Wayne, N Burleson, D Bennett, P Burress, J Walker

Heap, Wiggins

Bucs, Bills

Carney, Feely

 

His Team:

 

Leftwich, Gannon, McNabb

E George, J Harris, T Barber, T Minor, Bettis, R Williams

Chamber, R Moss, K Colbert, Patten, Morton, Fitzgerald

McMichaels, Franks

Eagles

Elam, K Brown

 

 

This is a standard keeper league where we start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 Def.

 

I am just not sure if Leftwich will be back this week or if he is even worth it. I have pretty good depth at RB, so losing Dunn shouldn't matter. He had offered me a much better deal yesterday, but ended up trading with someone else. Should I take it or counter?

[stduke]

Hey Hugh..I start 3 WR's and the scoring is 1 point per 10 yrds and TD's are 3 points UNLESS they are 25 yrds or more than they are 6 points..which of these 3 do I start:

Holt at GB Monday night

A. Johnson at home vs Tenn

Horn at Atlanta

Gates (TE) vs KC

McCardell vs KC

 

Thanks in advance.

[chipsjake]

Here's the scoop. I have Leftwich to give to a team with Rattay or Harrington. Trying to trade and benefit both teams.

My team

 

Brees

LT

Emmitt or Dunn

Clayton

Chad Johnson

Morton or Fitz

 

His team

 

Rattay

Tiki

Cumar

Harrison

Bruce

Stokely

 

He's got Fred Taylor on the bench.

 

He's declined my offer of Fitz and Lefty for Bruce and Harrington and countered with Stokely and Harrington for Fitz and Lefty. I'm not thrilled with Stokely. Is he really an upgrade over Fitz or Morton? Any ideas for a fair trade? Thinking of Lefty, Dunn and Fitz for Stokely, Fred and Harrington. Thanks .

[Furd]

Hugh -

 

I still don't know who to start at WR.

 

I have the ATL defense and my opponent is starting Marc Bulger.

[liduck]

Thanks in advance and have a good Thanksgiving

 

Std performance scoring

 

T. Jones v Dallas or K. Jones v. Indy

 

I'm leaning to T. Jones but can't get that home matchup v Indy out of my head.

[Hooter]

It looks like your getting smacked with plenty of questions. Anyway....would like your thoughts on WR: 1 pt/10yards- 6pt/td

 

D. Driver vs Rams

A. Johnson vs Titans

M. Harrison vs Lions

 

We start 2 WR.

 

Thanks

[bumpersb]

Need 2 of these 3 rec's

 

A. Johnson

D. Driver

R. Williams

 

I like A. Johnson and Driver. If Driver was not playng on Monday night I may have selected Williams

 

 

Have you seen this question before from me: Favre or McNabb? McNabb tore up the Giants the first game of year. But Favre on Mondaynight at home against the Rams!

[Hugh 0ne]

Chris Brown @ Houston

Reggie Wayne @ Detroit

Pittman @ Carolina

Julius Jones vs Chicago

 

Need to pick 2 outta these 4.

 

6 pts per TD, 1 pt per 10 yds reception/rushing, 0.5 pts per catch

 

My early thinking is going with Pittman and JJ. I don't know much about Detroit's pass D but it doesn't really matter when they play the Colts. The question is, can Wayne replicate last week's performance with another multiple TD effort? Prior to last week, he's had 3 weeks with a TD grab and moderate yards/catches. I'm thinking that's what he likely goes back to, so an every down back might be a better play this week.

 

I'm a little gun-shy on Brown as well, but if Fisher's motivational ploys work the way they've been known to, he could have a big game too. I might then pull the inexperienced JJ for Brown.

 

573542[/snapback]

 

 

 

 

Pittman and JJ is the right call. Don't take a chance on Brown when you have other, good options.
