PPR-League Berrian or Evans for my #2WR? Kolby (SD) Rudi (@Pit) Evans (@Was) Berrian (NYG) or Chatman (NYJ) for my flex?
Fantasy playoffs are here, what do you guys think? I need 3 Wrs and one flex. Plax Vs Eagles Chris Henry Vs Rams(Palmer is my QB) Coles Vs Cle Roddy White VS NO Thomas Jones Vs Cle
All right...missed the bye by 2 losses...I'm in the hardest division in my $$ league by far. Anyhoo, down to brass tacks: WR3: Crayton (Dallas vs. Detroit) or Sid Rice (Minny vs. 49ers) RB2: Gore (9ers vs. Minny) or Chester Taylor (Minny vs. 9ers) You'd think it'd be easy to pick Gore and Crayton, but it isn't that simple. Matchups rather than talent has been king this year and the 49ers D stinks. Couple that with their stinky O and it's a recipe for disaster for a back that's disappointed all year. Meanwhile I am starting Adrian Peterson as the RB1, but Taylor has consistently put up 10 or more points even when AP starts against bad defenses. If ever there was a time to start a tandem, Minnisota just might be the team. Crayton got me through all year while Andre Johnson was out, now I lost Roy Williams and I need him again. But, I think he does better against GOOD pass defenses, because TO is well covered. On a defense like Detroit, TO will usually get all the love, so I'm thinking Rice. Again 49ers D sucks, and Rice has been on a tear lately. Do I trust my season to a rook?
TJ is definitely your flex...ya gotta go with white and henry cause they're healthy. Coles may not even play, which leaves the injured burress. At least the Eagles have a good run D, so the G-men will be passing a lot.
I know there is no wrong answer here, but... Stephen Jackson @ Cinc Adrian Peterson (Min) @ SFran Ryan Grant vs Oak Jamal Lewis @ NYJ Kolby Smith @ Den I start 3 out of these 5 at RB-RB-W/R. So which combination should I go with? Right now I have Kolby Smith and Jamal Lewis on the bench (Lewis on the bench, talk about depth! I've won 9 straight in this league, I wonder why )
Crayton is the #2 (or even #3) option in Dallas, the consistency is just not going to be there. Rice, on the other hand, has become the #1 target in Minn, especially in the red zone. If there's going to be 4 tds scored by Minn this weekend, I can just about guarantee at least one will be a TD by Rice. Can't say the same at all for Crayton. (I've got both Rice and Crayton in one league myself, it wasn't a close decision for me as you can tell.)
Haha, I have Andre Johnson and Roy Williams also. :lol: In my case Greg Jennings stepped up big time. But yeah, I would definitely go with Taylor and Crayton. As for me... Ryan Grant vs. Oak Justin Fargas @ GB Brandon Jacobs @ Philly Jacobs has been upgraded to Probable. Fargas has been a nice surprise, he's gotten me 20 and 21 points in the last 2 weeks. He's kind of become the featured back in Oakland.
E-Z 'nuff: Stephen Jackson @ Cinc Adrian Peterson (Min) @ SFran Ryan Grant vs Oak Cincy, San Fran, and Oakland? Some of the worst rush Ds in the league.
Grant is a no-brainer. Fargas gets over 10 against bad run Ds and less than 10 against good run Ds, so figure him for no more than a safe 10 pts. Jacobs on the other hand, can put up great numbers against anyone when healthy. Wait for Sunday and go with Jacobs if in good health, otherwise Fargas isn't a bad start.
I'm torn... as of now at RB I have: Fargas M. Lynch My flex I can have RB-WR-TE I'm going with R. White-WR-ATL I have on the bench: Gore Willie Parker Gonzales (starting D. Clark) B. Engram Should I switch anything or stay the way I have it.
Ah, I should have mentioned that only one spot is up for grabs (I have Westbrook and Peterson (Min) in the other 2 :grin: ). I'm leaning towards Grant for that spot as well. Mangold, I would start Willie Parker somewhere. I know New England's D is pretty good, but he's still the league's #2 rusher this year. Plus McGahee ran all over NE last week. Unless you're anticipating a NE blowout where the run game becomes insignificant.
I went with Grant instead of Jamal. 18 carries, 90yds and a TD in the first half, so far so good :wink:
Meh, 3 points difference...what a fucking pickup grant has been...I decided to go with starting both Vikes at RB...thank goodness...had to deal with AD's 0-fer, but got Chester's 18...Gore and his 7 rode the pine. Took your advice and went with Sid for the 2 instead of Crayton for the 4...same difference. Meanwhile Anthony Gonzalez scores 25 on the bench...who knew? Still in it thanks to Andre Johnson and Jason Witten and Peyton coming up big. I'm up by 25 and he has Drew Brees tonight...Go Falcons!
