He is less boom or bust when hasslebeck is in. Britt seems like a favorite of his and is just sarting to get into a groove. Boldin with have jjoseph on him all game so he coukd be tough sledding

Dwayne Bowe or Andre Johnson? I think Johnson still has some juice in him, while he has regressed, he's still going to put up better numbers now that the Texans won't be up by double digits every game. I really like Bowe but that KC offense is just so bad and his only scoring comes in garbage time as it seems like he gets double and triple teamed on throwing downs in the red zone.

See now from what I saw last week of TEN, I'd say Hasslebeck has more trust in Washington than Britt. Britt & Hasselbeck did not look to be on the same page last week.

Wouldn't JJ cover T.Smith rather than Boldin?

I would probably lean towards the player not on his bye, So Johnson

Your probably right. I guess smith would be the number one cover.

On your other point though is hasselbeck did go to washongton alot that game but because it was his first game back since last year and became his comfort receiver when britt went down in week 4. Britt though does show a history of benefiting off hasselbeck at qb and is typically mh's top target.
Like the titans head coach said, britt was expected to start slow after missing Most of last season but is still a top receiver and number one. He just finished his first fulk workload game of the season last week so he was expected to start show to the season. Of last game was any indication i would say he is healthy and back into playing 45+ snaps a game

Was a trade I was close to making, not a choice of who to play. Should have clarified. Is a keeper league too btw

Ahh. Then id go bowe for a keeper league. There are rumblings that Miami is interested in acquiring him with the chief's trending downwards The way they are. Plus he has Seemed to do fairly well despite the level of qb he has had

If you plan on keeping him then I would definitely do it, if not and Brady Quinn remains the starter then he is virtually useless.

I know kickers are kickers, but any advice on what to do with Mason Crosby? He's had a disappointing fantasy season - the 26th-ranked kicker despite not even having a bye week yet. I'm in a 16-team league so there is a few available kickers with better numbers and bye weeks passed already. Crosby hasn't made a field goal since week three, but is sixth in point afters.

I believe I should hold on to him as it seems this is more of an unfortunate streak than the norm. Thoughts? (1st time playing fantasy football)

I dropped him and picked up Barth, then traded a RB for Gostkowski. I was getting tired of waiting for Crosby to get good.

Sylvanfan · 10-18-2012, 09:24 PM

Harbaugh you arse, you just cost me a safety. Stop trying to re-invent the bloody wheel.

Cheerio · 10-18-2012, 09:36 PM

Highest scoring WR from tonights game was Ben Obomanu with 3.40 points which all came on one catch

Sylvanfan · 10-18-2012, 10:00 PM

Who to start at QB this week? Tony Romo at Carolina who are coming off their bye, or Andrew Luck at home against Cleveland?

Hockeyguy15 · 10-19-2012, 06:57 AM

Luck

Romo. Carolina's pass D is not good. Dez Bryant has been looking better and better each week. 13 catches last week. Plus they probably won't fully trust Jones and Tanner as their RB's this week so might pass even more. Carolina coming off a bye, so could be well prepared and take an early lead forcing Romo to throw even more.

Cleveland has underated defense, Joe Haden will shut down Wayne like Cromartie did to him last week. Hard to trust Avery and Hilton to make a huge impact on the other side.

Sainters7 · 10-19-2012, 08:52 AM

I would say Romo too. Carolina's D is swiss cheese.

Back to the Gronk/Newton trade. I declined and told him I needed a RB so he said he would add in Trent Richardson if I add a WR. So it would be Gronk+Newton+Trent for Eli+Hernandez+WR, does this make the trade a lot better in my favour?

I like the odds of Luck having a bounce back game, but at the same time Romo has way better weapons to work with and now that Haden is back Wayne will be blanketed all game. I'd go Romo

Sylvanfan · 10-19-2012, 12:54 PM

Yeah, I do like Luck at home...but the rest of the Colts roster is getting a bit depleted, plus Hayden is back. But on the flip side, the Panthers off a bye might look a lot better this first week.

I've actually been trying to trade a QB as it's a 2QB format league and I have Brees, Romo, and Luck as my 3 guys. So with no more byes to worry about, I'm going to try and see if I can upgrade RB or WR. So far no "Luck".

Sainters7 · 10-19-2012, 01:03 PM

Also just announced today that Carolina's best DB (Gamble) and best LB (Beason) are both out this weekend. Food for thought Syl...
