Fantasy NFL

[BratPack]

19 from 23 teams in the playoffs. Although 3 are in NFL and don't count cause a blind squirrel could finish with a 9-4 record


Although half of them are limping into the playoffs mortally wounded. At least 5 of them had starting RB's of Marshawn Lynch, Toby Gerhart and Roy Helu last week

there really is a fair bit of luck involved, i have a team 11-2 does not hava decent RB bcos of injury, and another that pulled over 1200pts in a yahoo standard format which is 2nd in the league by by only 10 points but i finished 4-9 ???

[RiOtChEsS]

Hakeem Nicks and Tony Gonz off the waiver wire HELLO :o

[gwilliams]

Just checked and only ESPN has Nicks as undroppable (out of ESPN, Yahoo and NFL.com). It really sucks when people drop the stars at this stage of the fantasy season.

So I have Roethlisberger and my other QB is Josh Freeman. I have the bye this week so I have to look at my available options for next week. Freeman would be playing Dallas if he plays and is inconsistent. Roethlisberger will have a few extra days to rest the ankle up but he is coming up against the 49ers and is banged up. I don't think I will be able to start either of these guys next week unless Roethlisberger is a full participant in all the practices.

My available options are Christian Ponder v NO, Dan Orlovsky v Ten, Alex Smith v Pitt, Matt Moore @ Buf, Grossman @ NYG, Bradford v Cin, Kolb v Cle, Orton v GB

If I was to pick 3 possible QB's out of that bunch it would be Ponder, Moore and Orton. If Orton plays this week and does ok I might pick him up as insurance since the Packers don't have the best pass D. Moore I think is the next best option and then Ponder. The Vikes are going to be playing from behind so they are going to have to air it out.

[RiOtChEsS]

id lean toward Moore Vs Buffalo secondary is weak and he doesnt mind airing it out...

guessing MJD has given BP the upper hand in the FF matchup :o

Live score has it 112-41. But Gwill has 5 players playing at the moment to my CJ Spiller who's doing less than flower all


Edit: 116-60. GWill has Nicks I have The Salsa King

[RiOtChEsS]

damn Gwils team fell apart late :o

So Big Ben does not have a break but I want to pick up some insurance. With the injury to Matt Moore on the weekend he is out of the question now. I have put in a waiver claim for Yates. He had 300 yards 2 TD's 1 INT against the Bengals. He is coming up against a Panthers team that Matt Ryan had 320 yards and 4 TD's against.

Should I stick with Yates or should I pick up one of Grossman, Alex Smith, Orlovsky or Skelton?

[BratPack]

I'd pick up Smith myself if Yates fails....he plays Pit this week but then has Seattle and The Rams to take him home

[Mat0369]

This is just a back up plan more then anything. I am hoping Big Ben pulls up well, he has a long week playing on Thursday and now playing on MNF, so he has the time to rest up.

Oh so just for this week then?


Well then I'd list them like this


1. Yates
2. Skelton
3. Orlovsky
4. Grossman
5. Smith


Although Yates is iffy. Carolina has two defensive linemen out and Yates may just turn into a Foster/Tate handoff machine. Safety is Yates/Risk is Skelton

so this weeks final is over two weeks, id forgotten :-[ still time for Gwill to make a comeback?
