fantasy football question
 

Hey I am not sure if this is the right place for this or not but I have a fantasy football question. I need to play three RB's this week. My roster includes:

1) Ryan Grant
2) Marshawn Lynch
3) Tim Hightower
4) DeAngelo Williams
5) Clinton Portis

Lynch is suspended so he is out the top three point scorers in week one were Grant, Hightower and Williams, but I am considering sitting williams or grant in favor of portis, thinking he is gonna have a good game.

any sugestions?

Re: fantasy football question
 

+1 on GTripp's notion.

If you can avoid it, don't sit Williams, especially now that Delhomme has forgotten how to play QB. They are going to lean heavily on Williams and Stewart.

And while you haven't said anything about point structure, if you get points per reception, I'd consider keeping Portis on the bench and starting Hightower, as Warner feels pretty comfortable getting him the ball out of the backfield.

Re: fantasy football question
 

sorry we get points for rushing and reciving yard as well as touchdowns. based on the above advice and further thought I am leaning toward portis, williams and hightower


of course given my fantasy history I can safely assume what ever decision I make will undoubtedly be wrong

Re: fantasy football question
 

Potris, Williams and Hightower. Beanie Wells is still a non-factor in AZ.

I am self proclaimed fantasy expert, with too few championships in all my time playing to truly be that. But, your situation is easy. Ryan Grant is a stud and healthy, Portis against the Rams has a huge upside(non-skins fans agree), And DeAngelo Williams was often drafted this year as a top 5 running back. If you sit him in week 2, you're crazy. And Hightower is going to continue to lose carries to Beanie. Beanie by week 5 will be the td vulcher in 'zona.

Re: fantasy football question
 

ok thanks I think I am going grant, portis and williams.

in an unrelated question I have brees and flacco. my son just told me I should play Flacco against SD rather than Brees against philly but I am inclinded to stick with Brees until he lets me down. any sugestions?

Just because Jake Delhomo turned the ball over 5 times against the eagles doesn't make the eagles the greatest D in the world, it makes JD look like garbage. Go with Brees.

I BET PEOPLE IN CAROLINA WOULD LOVE CAMPBELL RIGHT ABOUT NOW

Re: fantasy football question
 

since we're talkin fantasy football, i'll throw out a question as well. i need to start 5 (five) of the following...
must start 2 rbs and 2 wr the other can be rb or wr.


forte vs pit.
tomlinson vs bal.
barber vs nyg
j. jones @ sf
s. moss vs rams
ochocinco @ gb
lee evans vs tb

Re: fantasy football question
 

[quote=DFI;590791]I would sit evans and play the others[/quote]

Re: fantasy football question

Philly is stuck with Kolb this week and Brees has the WR guns to still do some major damage. I wasn't impressed by SD Monday night, but still Brees has the WR corp and I don't think Kolb is going to get the job done, so Brees might be on the field quite a bit. IN a tough decision like this, just stick with your star.

Re: fantasy football question
 

I played DeAngelo, Portis, & Freddy Jackson this same week.

i escaped with 1 TD from RBs. we give .1 per Rush Attempt too so im always in good shape with CP as a workhorse 15+ carries.

Re: fantasy football question
 

Here's my dilemma, which 2 would you start this week?

1. Fred Jackson vs Saints
2. Darren Sproles vs Miami
3. Kevin Smith vs Skins
4. MJD vs Texans
5. Reggie Bush vs Bills

Re: fantasy football question
 

sproles for sure

MJD and Sproles.

Re: fantasy football question
 

[quote=BDBohnzie;595236]MJD and Sproles.[/quote]I 2nd that.

And DFI - [B]NEVER EVER EVER[/B] sit Drew Brees unless he has a bye or he's injured. If something fluky happens one week and he throws 10 ints and Flacco is on your bench with 10TDs don't look back because you still made the right decision. Yes, as much as it pains me to say it Flacco is playing very well this season but Brees is an absolute unsittable stud who should never see your bench.

Re: fantasy football question
 

that is my thinking. i think i am setting portis this week. I may regret it but he has disapointed me the first two weeks. I know he is due, but untill the skins offense produces he is riding the pine.....

Re: fantasy football question
 

Okay, here's one for the group:

In a PPR league (no RB points for carries), I need to play a WR and a WR/RB:

My WR's: Manningham (v. TBay), D. Jackson (v. K.City), S. Moss, L. Robinson (v. GBay)
My RB: Smith

Do I play Smith (v. Skins - not a lot of TD's there) and a WR (which one) or two WR's (if so, which two)?

My inclination is S.Moss and Manningham but am worried that my homerism is coming through in playing Moss and sitting Smith.

Re: fantasy football question
 

the thing with moss is he has been double covered constantly and had limited production. like my delemia with portis, untill that changes i would hlod off I would think about manningham and D. Jackson because of the poor defenses they are up against

Re: fantasy football question
 

Portis is starting to aggravate me as far as fantasy. Becuase my heart always says leave him in... and id wonder what the hell i was thinking if I didnt and he shreds.

I 2nd That. Well Said.

Re: fantasy football question
 

[quote=Skins4L;599865]I 2nd That. Well Said.[/quote]I just feel bad for saying that 2 days before Brees puts up mediocre numbers and Flacco lights it up. :( But, like I said, I don't think you should look back because while luck obviously has so much to do with fantasy football in the long run it makes more sense to go with the odds than it does to hope you get lucky.

Re: fantasy football question
 

I agree. I sat JC and played Brees too.

It was still the smarter choice looking back..
Luck has alot to do with fantasy besides making smart starts.

Re: fantasy football question
 

Please help, 1 RB spot these are the options:
1. Sproles vs Pitt
2. Tomlinson vs Pitt
3. Mendenhall vs SD

Mendenhall is playing cause Parker is Out, Tomlinson hasnt played since the first week due to injury. Leaning Sproles, but is on the road vs Pitt D which is tough at home vs Run

What you think?

Re: fantasy football question
 

^ I'm thinking about picking up Betts if Portis is out as well

Re: fantasy football question
 

i gotta say sproles of those three

Re: fantasy football question
 

ryan grant, fred jackson, ronnie brown or cedric benson

have to start 2 of them

Re: fantasy football question
 

DeSean Jackson or Santanna Moss monday night. Which would you pick? Why?

Re: fantasy football question
 

Desean. Philly is going to be more motivated to play well this week after the lost. He on a better offensive team and they are playing the weaker team. Desean has more chances to score: punt return, receiving, and gets to run the ball on reverses and maybe even out of the wildcat. Santana has a tougher corner to go up against and is much more inconsistent this year with his numbers.

I'm not touching any Redskins in fantasy this year. I'm glad I can separate my homerism and my player projections because I made a point to not pick Skins and it's helping me so far.


Cooley is the only guy that should be considered in fantasy and even that is shaky due to the lack of offense in DC.

:( Sadness.

Re: fantasy football question
 

You see that call above on Desean? OH HELL YEAH! Thats why I kick ass in fantasy football.....WAIT....Maybe I COULD GM...just like my mentor Danny Boy...
