Fantasy Football "Who should I start?" thread, Lockout is Over Version

Dammit DJAX is so worthless! They just showed a play where Young wanted to get him the ball so bad but he WASN'T EVEN LOOKING BACK FOR IT!

C'mon man!
 
[quote name='Chitown021']I think Jordy is a no brainer but it's a tossup between the other two. I'm leaning towards Robinson.[/QUOTE]

After the way the Giants played against New Orleans, Jordy is beyond a no-brainer. The Packers might throw for 600 yards. fucking Giants...
 
Damn Lynch goes off when I'm up against him. Luckily, I had McCoy making it pretty much a wash but now I'm worried since my other RBs aren't as good and he's got Forte and Rice.
 
I'm in a four-way tie for the last two playoff spots in my league, and I've been sweating the last few days, worried that McCoy might be sit. He really came up big for me. I really don't know why Reid doesn't find more ways to get this guy the ball, especially in open space. I realize the last two games, they have fallen behind by double digits and have needed to go pass heavy, but even in the beginning of the game, they have Vince Young throwing the ball up like a moron. I really don't get it. And I'm not saying this just because I want more fantasy points out of McCoy. Ok, obviously I do, but still, it's true.

McNabb could be a very good pickup down the stretch here. I know he hasn't looked very good the last two years, but if he ends up someplace like Chicago or Houston, he'll have enough weapons around him that I think he could put up some numbers.

This times a million. I drafted McCoy because I thought he'd be more productive if Vick got hurt. Watching him I can't help but be impressed with how elusive, quick and most importantly, durable he is.

You don't have Maclin and Desean has given up. And how much time has Vince Young spent in this offense again? :whistle2:kI guess I can see why Reid gets so much heat.
 
Philip Rivers at Jags or Ryan Fitzy at home vs Tenn? I'm pretty much out of the playoffs but have a chance to squash my commish and stop him from getting in. Would be sweet.

Also, the Jags are without their two starting corners.

I say Fitz if only because Rivers has given me headaches all season. IMO, it's a wash. Go with your gut and pick the guy you think will have the bigger day (again, I pick Fitz).

Fitzpatrick has been tough to have as well. He started out great, then was awful, then somehow had a great game against the Jets D. Looking at both their stats, it's funny how close they are. According to ESPN, Jacksonville is 6th overall vs. opposing QBs and Tennessee is 14th, and Fitzpatrick is projected to have the better game, for what it's worth.
 
[quote name='gravel']Also, Tyler Palko is starting on Sunday, so don't start Orton.[/QUOTE]

That's what Haley has been saying but they've been debating that all week here on local sports radio. Palko has taken about 60% of the snaps in practice. They keep wondering if Palko is really going to start or if they keep saying that to screw with the Bears. It's pretty obvious that Orton is the better choice but don't get me wrong, as a Bears fan I would much rather they start the turnover machine Palko.

I wonder if you were desperate if Hanie could score enough points to be at least a decent fantasy play this week?

I'm probably going to have to start Johnny Knox so I hope he's able to sling the ball around a bit.

Damn you, Haley. As a Chiefs fan, I hope the Palko talk is just posturing. Palko is simply not an NFL QB.
 
Well guys let me know what you think of my lineup choices for this week. I am (5-7) and as of right now I own the final wildcard spot. I'm tied record wise with another guy in my division but I own the tiebreaker as we split the season series 1-1 but I have a better division record (4-3) to his (3-4).

I clinch the final playoff spot with a win or a loss by him. Here's what I have to work with:

QB (1): Big Ben, C.Palmer
RB (2): CJ2K, MJD, SJAX, C.J. Spiller
WR (3): DJAX (already screwed me with 3 pts Thursday night:censored:), L.Robinson, J.Knox, H. Douglas, V. Brown
TE (1): J. Gresham, Jake Ballard
K (1): M.Crosby
DEF (1): Tenn, JAX

I've highlighted the guys I'm going to start. I'm benching SJAX because he's playing agianst the 49ers and they've been stifling RBs all year. At WR I'm set on Robinson but not sure who to play at the #3 slot. I'm thinking Knox because he seems to be the favorite target of Hanie. At TE I've dropped Daniels. He's finished. I'm hoping Gresham can continue his solid play.

When it comes to defenses I'm leaning towards Tennessee against Buffalo but at the same time the Jags face a turnover happy Chargers offense. I really don't expect to win because I'm playing the best team in my league and he's got guys like Brady that have matchups against turds like Indy. My only hope is that the weather is shitty in NE and they are forced to run the law firm a ton. I do want to give it my best shot however.

That's why I said it's a wash. Both could go off and have a huge game this week, or both could implode and do nothing. Neither team's matchup is particularly strong or weak, so it basically comes down to personal preference. In favor of Fitz, in the first game after the Bills lost Fred Jackson for the season, Fitz rebounded back to his start of season form. That's why, if I owned both Rivers and Fitz, I'd go with Fitz. The Bills basically have no running game anymore, and Fitz showed that he could produce without it against the Jets, of all teams. It could be a fluke, but I think it's a reasonable risk to take. If you feel that Rivers is a better play this week, that isn't a bad pick either. I'm not so disillusioned that I think Rivers is a bad fantasy QB this season. He's just no longer the guy that you lock in every week as your starter, but rather a guy who, should you have a reasonably strong alternative, you can bench Rivers and not feel bad about it, regardless of how your pick ends up doing.

If KC is playing games with their starting QB, you might want to take the safe route and pick up Hanie. I think he'll have a decent game -- Nothing spectacular, but certainly a better play than any of the other QBs you listed.

Looks like you already have the best lineup penciled in. Good luck with your matchup, and let's hope for some big games from those guys tomorrow.

I agree, I'm hoping they really do play Palko.
 
McFadden is KILLING me. At the start of the year these were my 3 RBs:

Mendenhall
C. Johnson
McFadden

THIS SHOULD BE AWESOME BUT IT HAS SUCKED ASS.
 
Now I'm going back and forth on which defense I should start. TENN or JAX. The Jaguars are at home on Monday night facing Rivers and his beat up O-Line. TENN is at Buffalo and you never know which Fitzpatrick you will get. If it's the bad one they would be looking at a turnover festival. If not they might get lit up. I'm sure whichever I choose will be the wrong one.

It doesn't matter - they both suck this week! JAX is ranked 21 and TEN is ranked 27 this week based on matchups. Can you pick up a team off of waivers?

The Top 5 this Sunday based on matchups (based on Yahoo projections) are:

DAL (@ARI)
OAK (@MIA)
SD (@JAX)
DEN (@MIN)
NE (v.IND)

Any of those available? NE might be since thay haven't had the best season defensively but I think at home against the Colts when Belichik and Brady will be scoring F.U. TDs late into the 4th quarter might be a good choice. Of course, listening to me almost guarantees a bad outcome...

Someone snagged the Broncos earlier in the week. SD and OAK are available on waivers in my league. ESPN actually has JAX and TENN ranked just outside the top 10 (11th & 12th)

LOL. It just goes to show you - no one knows anything about anything.
 
Who would you guys go with this week between Ahmad Bradshaw (looks like he'll play, but I'm still waiting for the final inactives list) or Willis McGahee? McGahee plays at 1:00, so I need to decide whether to leave him in or not by then.

And, as usual, trying to choose between my two hideous QBs- Fitzpatrick or Hasselbeck. Fitzpatrick finally put up some numbers last week. Naturally, I had him on my bench after suffering his downward spiral for the past 4 weeks before that. :roll:
 
[quote name='Javery']LOL. It just goes to show you - no one knows anything about anything.[/QUOTE]

No kidding. I know I look at three or four websites before I set my lineup and it's amazing how different they can be. JAX has been pretty consistent over the course of the season. They have never gone negative and in my league their worst score was zero all the way back in week #2 against the Jets. Over their last 5 games they've averaged 12.4 fantasy points including games against Houston twice and one against Baltimore.

Tennesse has had higher highs (scored in the 30's a couple times) but has also had much lower lows (in the negatives a few times including a -8).

The Jacksonville defense actually hasn't been too bad, the problem is that their entire offense is MJD so they have trouble scoring. Seems like more often than not they keep their games close.
 
Starting two of the four at RB.

DeAngelo Williams @ TB
Toby Gerhart vs DEN
James Starks @ NYG
CJ Spiller vs TEN

Best available waiver/FA are Daniel Thomas (vs OAK), Jackie Battle (@ CHI), and Ryan Grant (@NYG). RB has been a rotating group of waiver pickups this season for me since Hillis disappointed and Jahvid Best is on the IR.

Even if Bradshaw does play (ESPN was just saying they expect him to go) this week I'd probably stay away from him. He's still got that cracked bone in his foot so I wonder how effective he'll be. That and with them playing GB they could get down early and end up having to abandon the run. If it were me I'd probably take the safer play and go McGahee.

I had Bradshaw but I cut him because I had too many RB's (SJAX, MJD, CJ2K, SPILLERS) ahead of him and I was tired of fooling with him. That and I needed my IR spot for Vick since he continues to be gimped.

Yikes, that's a tough group. I'm thinking Spiller & Williams.
 
Pretty much where I was leaning as well. I shouldn't need a ton of points out of the RB slots this week, but this season has been pretty much a crapshoot with losing 3 games by 3 points or less.
 
[quote name='Chitown021']Get Josh Freeman out of your lineups. ESPN just reported that he will not play today.[/QUOTE]

I picked up Josh Johnson as soon as the news came out. :)
 
As someone else said, definitely avoid playing Bradshaw, unless you absolutely have no other viable option. Even if he does play (still not 100% guaranteed, he has to get cleared pre-game), the chances of him putting upon a good game are slim. His season has been skewed by that three touchdown game against Buffalo, in which he wasn't exactly dominating (26 carries for 104 yards). Manning kept driving them up the field, and Bradshaw fell into the end zone. And as someone else said, it's almost guaranteed that the Packers are gonna throw the ball all over the field, so it's unlikely the Giants will be going with a run-heavy offensive attack.
 
[quote name='ananag112']Forte is out. Could be out for the season. Lost Fred Jackson and now it looks like I will lose Forte.[/QUOTE]


Son of a bitch! That's good for me from a fantasy prospective (playing the guy that has him and Brady today), but as a Bears fan fuck! First Cutler and now Forte. No way we make the playoffs now. If we do it's gonna be one and done.


Nice job CJ2K! Off to a hot start. That Dez for CJ trade a few weeks ago is really paying off. Now I wish I would have started Spiller instead of MJD.
 
Wow, where the fuck did that performance come from Shonn Greene!!!

Nice one by CJ2K also!

Eli did well and Finley didn't do too shabby. Should have started Crabtree in place of Fitz but YOU DON'T SIT FITZ!

Oakland at least didn't give me negative points.
 
Terrible season for me, but provided MJD and Phillip Rivers don't combine for -6 points, I'll end the season at 4 wins. At least the one thing to make this season better, I'm not last place, and I play spoiler since the guy I'm facing is win and possibly in depending how the other teams do in tiebreakers.
 
So glad I didn't go with Oakland for my defense this week. I guess Kansas City would have been the free agent pickup. They scored 20+ in my league.

I have an 8 point lead going into tonight's game. I've got JAX defense and MJD and my opponent has Ryan Mathews.

[quote name='Danimal']At halftime of the 1:00 games, I'm down 59-5. :rofl: A fitting end to the worst season of fantasy football I've ever had.[/QUOTE]Hard to believe, but I ended up winning this game. It got even uglier at the start of the second half of the 1:00 games- at one point it was 76-16. My opponent had Brady, Gronkowski, and Mendenhall, and I knew he had DeMarco Murray and the Ravens D coming up at 4:00, so I assumed it was going to be an historic blowout, and I switched to playing on my 360. So I missed Fitzpatrick and McGahee actually do something in the second half, and Ray Rice, Hakeem Nicks, and the 49ers D put me over the top later. It's 124-108, me, and he's done. I have VJax going tonight.

I'm still out of the playoffs unless either VJax or Mathews has a MONSTER game for San Diego tonight. The last wildcard came down to 3 teams; for me to make the playoffs, I needed to win (check), another team needed to lose to a guy who was 1-11 and our lowest-scoring team ever (miraculously enough, check), and the third team either needed to lose, or score 35.5 points less than me this week. In his game, he's up by 34 and his opponent has Mathews going. Don't see Mathews putting up 35. I'm ahead of him for the week by 5.5, so if VJax can give me 30, I'm in. Less than that, I'm out. In our scoring system, 8 catches for 140 yards and 2 TDs is 30 points. Not likely, but possible. VJax has had games of 34 and 35.5 this year, but he's also had games of 1.5, 2.5, 3, and 4. The worst part is that Percy Harvin and his 36 point game sat on my bench this week. #-o

LOL - switched from the GB defense to OAK right before the game. OAK put up a -3.00. Unreal. I still won my week (I'm up about 140 to 75 right now) but damn that was a bad decision by me.

I'm going to be 8-5 and in sole possession of second place after this week. The playoffs are going to be tough for me though - the best team in my league will (finally) be in 3rd place at 7-6 after this week (he's in 5th place right now). He has outscored the field by 300 points but has been incredibly unlucky in terms of match-ups. It is looking like I'll be playing him in the first round of the playoffs which is unfortunate.

I almost picked up Oakland but decided at the last minute to just ride with JAX since they have been pretty steady for me this season. It looks like I will make the playoffs win or lose tonight because the other guy that was fighting for that spot got slaughtered this week. I will go in at either 6-7 or 5-8.

I made the playoffs at 6-7 one other time in a free Yahoo league a few years ago. I rode Tyler Thigpen all the way to the Superbowl that year where I literally lost by one pt (damn Aaron Rodgers!)
 
Right now, I'm hoping that playing with honor doesn't cost me a championship berth. This week, the smart thing to do would have been to bench my team to secure my seed. However, I did the honorable thing and played out this week like it was any other, starting a full lineup. As a result, a potential win this week changes the playoff picture and I'm poised to have a third matchup against the one team I really didn't want to see anywhere other than the championships.

Regardless of what happens though, I have no regrets. I played it how I'd want others to play it, and the rules of any given Sunday still apply.

In other, good news, Forte isn't hurt too bad and could make it back for the playoffs (the actual playoffs).
 
Yikes, maybe I should have played the Raiders this week. I didn't realize how thin the Jags had become on the defensive side of the ball. They're making Rivers look like the old Rivers.
 
Even though the Jaguars secondary is depleted, Rivers put up much better numbers than I expected, and perhaps just as important, he did not turn the ball over for the second week in a row. If he can continue to play well for the next three weeks then I'll be grateful, as I was dreading starting him against Baltimore, and a bit wary of starting him against Detroit.

Now that I'm actually in the playoffs I guess I'm going to have to make an early decision about who to play at QB this week. Do I play Big Ben against Cleveland on Thursday night, Vick against Miami, or Carson Palmer against Green Bay?

Big Ben has a great matchup against the Browns but they might be up big in a hurry and just pound the ball like they did last week. Vick has been out for a month. Do I trust him against a scrappy team like Miami? Or Palmer, he's playing the Packers so they will likely be playing from behind and against a defense that gives up a lot of yards?

Or do I pick up Brett Favre for the Bears and start him against the Broncos? LOL ;)
 
LOL on Farve. I'd go with Big Ben and consider Palmer

Got a D question for you guys per usual. I made the playoffs, Ive got Jax D and they are playing TB which seems to be a decent matchup. What about getting Sea against STL, NO against Tenn, or Miami against Philly? Sea against STL seems like a decent match up its at Seattle and Seattle put up 15 pts last time. I regret not picking a solid D in the draft
 
well, im going into the playoffs in all 3 of my leagues as the #1 seed. should be interesting. to see how it goes, ive never had such a good season before, so i'm pretty nervous about the playoffs. There's $1120 up for grabs between the 3 leagues, so I'm looking forward to making a little money too. I'm already guaranteed at least my money back in one league, in another league I'm pretty sure I'll cruise to the finals to make a little profit and my last league is winner take all.
 
Between Roethlisberger, Palmer, and Vick, I'd start Roethlisberger. Vick's coming back from injury, Maclin is coming back from injury (maybe?), and Miami has played surprisingly well over the last few weeks, so Vick is automatically ruled out. Between Roethlisberger and Palmer, I honestly believe Palmer will outscore Roethlisberger in almost every scenario, just because of garbage time points. I don't see Roethlisberger having a bad day and he could even have a great day; I'd put my expectations at 150 - 250 yards and 1 - 2 TDs (erring toward the higher range). Thing is, I can see Palmer putting up 200-300 yards and 2-3 TDs easily as the Raiders play from behind. The deciding factors that edge Roethlisberger over Palmer for me is that Ben's worst day is still better than Palmer's worst day, Palmer could easily nullify his upside with 2-3 turnovers or a poor garbage time performance, and Ben could easily outperform my tepid expectations this week.

Re-reading what I wrote above, I think this is a case of me sticking to the 'start your studs' philosophy. Palmer will most likely score you more points, but I'd still start Roethlisberger. He's healthy, the key members of his offense are healthy, and he's been playing well, so the only real factor in the decision is the matchup. Cleveland has really only faced one elite QB this season (and Schaub didn't have Andre), and even if Haden completely shuts down Wallace, Big Ben still has Antonio Brown, with Ward, Miller, and Sanders also available. Other than Cincinnati, none of Cleveland's other matchups could really be considered strong passing offenses, so it isn't a given that Ben isn't going to have a good day.

For defenses, definitely bench Jacksonville. Seattle is the standard pick from the three you mentioned; the sneaky pick is Miami. I don't think you really need to gamble though, Seattle should be good enough.

I am dropping the Jags and attempting to snag Seattle. Jax had been pretty steady up until this week. I didn't realize how decimated they were on defense until I watched last night's game. Thank goodness MJD scored enough to offset their negative points!

The way I look at it Big Ben is the safest play while Palmer has the highest potential upside. The reason Big Ben scares me is I don't want his game to end up like last week. He had a decent game (scored me 20 pts) but he pretty much shut it down in the second half against Cincinnati since they were able to run the ball and built a big lead. I could see the same thing happening against Cleveland.
