2010 NFL Fantasy Football discussion thread

Yep. I'm being a bit greedy because I already have Orton, but Rivers will get me more points than Orton and I already have CJ, Charles, McFadden, and Torain at RB. I actually have two QBs on my bench right now because I also have Vick, but I'm going to move one of them.

[Knut]

My starting QB is Matt Schaub. So i figure that a team with question marks at QB could use Matt ryan. He is currently 6th in Fantasy points and I really need some help at RB and TE

[Travis Munroe]

Unreal performance from Britt and he missed a quarter. I wonder if this will change when Vince returns?
Real bad week for me having Mike Vick and Vince Young... I had to pick Max Hart (cards qb) off waivers. He was good for -3 lol.

[Bobblehead]

Calvin Johnson was on his bye so I left Britt in. That worked out well. Demaryius Thomas was also starting but didn't do much and Woodhead (a rare WR/RB combo qualifier) was in my WR/TE flex spot

On RB I have Tomlinson, Hillis, McCoy, Benson and Sproles. Not bad in a 14 team league, especially when I can start up to 4 RB (2 RB slots, 2 WR/RB flex spots).

[Sylvanfan]

I must say that I love the consistancy of Steven Jackson as a fantasy owner. I wasn't all that excited getting him with my top pick in the auto draft, but that dude is clockwork. He gets you 10 or more points every single week. I wish he'd get a few more TD's, but can't complain, he's a go to guy every week and I don't have to worry about matchups.

[Sainters7]

Am I reading this right in the B league? Wolfwood's O-Line is leading the league in scoring but is in last place at 1-6??? How does that even happen?? That has to be just a misprint in points for..

[Travis Munroe]

Im torn, Projections have Vince at 7 and Kitna at 17.
I managed to scoop Kitna up as Vick is on his bye week and I wasnt sure about Vince being healthy. Now they say he is ready to go but project him so low.
My Heart and mind are telling me Vince but my mouse/hand has Kitna penciled in right now.

[Sylvanfan]

Go with Kitna and the passing game the Cowboys can put against the Jags, who have a weak secondary, and very little in terms of a pass rush.

[RyZ]

I lost Tony Romo and am scrambling for a decent QB as I'm not prepared to ride Kitna for 6+ weeks while Romo heals up.

I have a good buddy who just loves to get involved in a blockbuster and has tentatively offered me this trade after this week..

Dwayne Bowe, Mike Wallace, Chris Cooley

for

Carson Palmer, Andre Johnson

That would have me rolling....

Carson Palmer
Adrian Peterson
Ahmad Bradshaw
Roddie White
Andre Johnson
Zach Miller
Cheifs D/ST
Nick Folk

and a paper thin bench at all positions.

Should I go for the home run?

The Bengals start getting into the tough part of their schedule coming up here. 2X against Pittsburgh, at Baltimore, at the Jets, New Orleans, Indy, and San Diego, even Clevelands defence has been pretty tough on Fantasy QB's.

With Roethlisberger back Mike Wallace's value goes up, and Dwayne Bowe has had some pretty sweet matchups which allowed him to pad his numbers, but this is a year where AFC West and NFC West players have a lot of favorable matchups every week.

I'd be targeting a guy like Kyle Orton, if you can't run down Rivers, or Peyton Manning. I like Ryan Fitzpatrick better to finish off the year better than I like Carson Palmer.

I need a mere 52 points tonight from Matt Schaub to capture my 3rd victory this season! I'm feelin' good!

B Leaguers....here I come!! Relegation is my destiny!

That's okay. I'm going to lose tonight to someone who started two players on their bye weeks.

[Knut]

Easy win for me this week. The guy i played had 4 Bye Week guys on his starting roster. I hate when people do not participate.

There are a couple guys in my league who purposely had a lot of their bye weeks occur in the same week. They figured why screw around with hobbled line-ups for a few weeks, bit the bullet and take one sure loss with the better chances of winning the other few weeks.

[Sylvanfan]

I played a guy who normally starts 4 Chicago Bears, basically his favorite team is the Bears and he always plays them. He picked up David Garrard, Marcedes Lewis, and Mike Sims Walker to play me because his guys were on a bye.....Forget FML, get out the barbed stick. Although I can win tonight or at least tie if Derrick Ward is held to 0 TD's and some combination of 9 and 19 or fewer yards passsing and rushing or 19 and 29 for the tie.

Well he had backup players that put up 8 to 10 fantasy points each that he could have used and least gave himself a chance to steal a win. Looking at his roster he has only made 2 moves and has 5 guys Probable to Questionable and one guy out for the year.

Yeah, I've got one guy like that in the league I run, too. The guy has actually almost been kicked out a couple times, but the league has been going over a decade and he was one of the original guys and he is actually competitive every couple of years.

Talk to your commissioner, in Yahoo the commissioner has the ability to change anyone's roster (even retroactively) but that is tough to do when some people have already gotten a gift win.

[Knut]

^ well i have 110 pts with Schaub and Owen Daniels still to play... so even with the players in I will win.

I will send a message to the commish.

Those guys are the worst. Someone in my league started SIX players on their bye week this week, giving an automatic win to someone I'm trying to chase down for 1st place. I gotta admit, in the B league I'm fighting apathy hard (bad draft just killed me. Hello C league in '11?), but I'm still fighting tooth & nail, I refuse to be that guy.

[Sylvanfan]

I hate half time adjustments. These first two drives have pretty much put the nail in my fantasy coffin this week. No way Wayne and Johnson combine for less than 8 points the rest of this game. Fricken useless defences.

Time for the ghost of Marty Schottenheimer to take over this game and do nothing but run the ball 3.4 yards a pop with no name players that nobody owns.
