Got quite a few favourable match ups this week but have some questions:
Ogbannaya against the Rams, Battle against the Broncos, or Green-Ellis against the Jets

and 2 of: D. Jackson against the Cardinals, Garcon against the Jags, Colston against the Falcons, or Nate Washington against the Panthers.

Right off the bat, Nate Washington has a hip injury and while he will likely play I'm not sure I would trust a bad hip, and if I'm not mistaken the Carolina pass defense isn't all that bad. I think I read that earlier when looking at a matchup.

Picked up Ogbannaya last week, man did he ever screw me. 1 freaking point. Though I'm sure the Browns won't have to abandon the run against the Rams as quickly as they did last week. Still, that left a sour taste in my mouth, think I'm benching him this week and just monitor his progress.

My two starting RB's are Fred Jackson and McFadden. A couple of weeks ago I dropped two iffy RB's to pick up Spiller and Bush, and then I just rode out my bye weeks with fillers. Best choice I ever made since this was right before McFadden went out with his injury. Bush would have for sure been picked up by any of the 8 teams on waivers before me.

Funny how I score 107 in the CP league and win, and score 152 in my other league and lose. Ohh fantasy football...

EDIT: Just remembered about stat corrections. This one could change.

Go suck a fat one..... just kidding man, thanks for putting up an amazing 0 points Heyward-Bust and can't forget the Raiders D for putting up 2 points too while I had Cincinnati on the bench this week who got 7. I thought the Raiders might have some value this week playing Tebow and for me playing Heyward-Bust this week I needed a receiver as I had on a bye.

For all the DeSean Jackson owners: It looks like he is going to be inactive this week for missing a team meeting so if you have a chance get him out of your starting line up.

Sylvanfan · 11-13-2011, 10:13 AM

Yeah just pulled Jackson from a lineup.

In another league my QB options are Eli, Jay Cutler, or Matt Cassel. Which one is my best option?

Sainters7 · 11-14-2011, 10:12 AM

I think Shanahan hates fantasy footballers with a fiery passion and thus tries to screw us any chance he gets...

Aside from being ridiculously quiet about his RB plans every week, first he starts riding Ryan Torain, so I pick him up. So naturally he goes to Roy Helu, and after dragging my feet for a couple weeks and watching what he does, I finally drop Torain and grab Helu last week. So naturally Shanahan goes back to Torain yesterday.

Why must you torment me Shanahan?? Can't we all just get along?

Montana Moe · 11-14-2011, 04:44 PM

My wife has a team in our hometown league. Yesterday, I convinced her to start the Bills defense vs. Dallas instead of the Bears vs. Detroit.

Bills D = 0 Pts
Bears D = 33 Pts

She's down by 33.5 for the week with Jordy Nelson yet to play...

Sylvanfan · 11-14-2011, 09:27 PM

You should be shut out for the rest ofhe month for that.

Dear Vikings, don't do something stupid here. Just run the ball kill some clock and punt it. I'm holding a lead but my opponent has the Packers D. So no turn overs or worse pick 6's!

Some help required please

I'm in a keeper league and have been offered Steven Jackson for Demarco Murray

We keep 2 players for next year. These are the players I would consider keeping

Foster, A. Johnson, R. White, Murray (or jackson depending on the trade)

Would you trade Murray for Jackson?

I'm worried about Murrays workload, but he's been a beast this year. I know Felix is coming back and wondering how much he takes away from Murray's carries

Displaced Flames fan · 11-16-2011, 07:15 PM

Should I ride Tebow again or go with Hasselbeck vs Atlanta?

I'd make that deal. Jacksons body is living on borrowed time. Felix Jones has never been able to give the Cowboys a legitimate ground game. Murray's made it impossible for the Cowboys to take him off the field. Blowing that lead against Detroit should have shown Dallas how badly they need a ground attack.

Hockey · 11-16-2011, 09:02 PM

In one of my leagues I offered up Rodgers/D.Jackson/B.Jacobs for AP/M.Wallace/M.Lynch

right now my best RB is Darren Sproles, the other guy had Schaub has his QB so he needs a QB. I have Stafford as my backup.

also should note this pool is pretty much just for bragging rights between friends, so I don't take it too seriously.

I'm confused, are you trading away Murray, or trading for Murray? If it's trading away, do...not...sell. And keep him & Foster for next year. Championship!

EDIT: Actually speaking of keeper leagues, what's standard for how many you're allowed to keep? I'm the commish of my one league and wanna turn it keeper next year. In the hockey one I'm in we're allowed up to 10, so I figured up to 5 for football, but people are saying that's way too many.

Sorry about that. I currently own Murray. The other owner is offering jackson for him. Looking at schedules for the rest of the season alone it looks like I should keep Murray based on how the match ups look. Factor in keeper status and you are correct. With foster and murray I should dominate next year

This our first year for a keeper league and decided on 2 players. We figured with 2 keepers and a snake draft based on last years standings the league would be pretty competitive. And so far it has been. No team has been eliminated for the playoffs yet

Sylvanfan · 11-17-2011, 07:57 AM

Ahh...than I change my tune. Do not trade Murray. Both players have favorable schedules, but keep the younger guy for the keeper league.

The ones that I am in, the protocal for a keeper league are that you get to keep 2-3 of your players, the kicker is that you lose the draft pick in which you took the player, and if it's a first round pick the the previous year that you are keeping you lose a 1st and 5th round pick. If the player was picked up on waivers, you lose your last round pick, making who you keep/let go alot more strategic

I thinkTebow is a trap player. There is no way he does a thing against the Jets defense. He completed 2 passes against a bad KC defense, now he has to pass against one of the best? I think Rex Ryan puts 8 in the box, and begs for Tebow to throw to Cromartie/Revis
