Hmm, maybe I'm just too guarded when it comes to trades(I almost never make em), but I'd actually be wary of that trade, especially if you're not in a PPR league. I am unfortunately an owner of Steve Slaton and he's been just killing me all year. And now that Moats has stepped up, I really wonder if he'll even keep his starting job anymore. The guy's had butterfingers all year.

Donnie Avery also concerns me. He's only caught 4 balls in his past 3 games, and the Rams instability at QB really concerns me. I know Manningham and Wallace are by no means #1 guys, but they're still decent point scorers who can compliment your WR's, and play on teams with strong to borderline elite QB's so you know they'll see their fare share of balls. I'd be a little more hesistant with this one if it were me anyway.

Don't do it. All the articles I've been reading have Slaton being benched for Moats.

My dilemma..

Knowshon against the Steelers: I know Moreno will get carries. I know he'll get thrown a screen pass or 3. I know it will be, likely, a close game....but it's the STEELERS.

Jonathan Stewart against the Saints: He could have 150 yards and 3 TD's. He could have 4 carries for 7 yards while DeAngelo Williams goes for 144 and 2 scores. The Panthers could be down by 28 early and abandon the run altogether.

I have Moreno in right now....what would you do?

Sylvanfan · 11-08-2009, 10:28 AM

Nobody runs against the Steelers, take the gamble on Stewart.

KTown · 11-08-2009, 12:44 PM

Portis is killing me this year

Got busy watching movies this morning and neglected to change my lineup.

We'll see how it plays out.

nickerjones · 11-09-2009, 08:51 PM

ahhhhh just got over taken by 5 pts on the denver fumble recovery td.... They double dip on fumble td's... 2 pts for the recovery and then another 6 for the fumble recovery TD.... all I can hope for is Big ben to throw to his Te for a TD ...

Ok big matchup for me tomorrow, I am in a league where you get 0.5 points per reception. For my W/R position should I start Maroney or Forte? Maroney on the road vs. the Colts or Forte on the road vs the 49ers? I get 1 pt per 10 yards and a 3 pt bonus if they have 100 yards rushing.

I am torn, the 49ers got destroyed on the ground last week but you would think they would rebound and shut down Forte who has been terrible against any team with a decent D. Maroney and the Pats are so unpredictable though.

I need to know before tomorrow night!

I'd start Forte, you have to assume Indy and NE will be a shootout.

Also look at the game the titans had last week with the running game against San Fran. It was huge.

Pagal4321 · 11-12-2009, 08:41 AM

Forte.

rubecube · 11-12-2009, 08:57 AM

I have a dilemna at my W/R slot. MJD vs. the Jets or DeSean Jackson vs. San Diego?

Sylvanfan · 11-12-2009, 09:03 AM

I'd put Jackson against the Chargers secondary. The Jets coming off a bye should be able to stop the run and the game plan will be to put the game in Garrards hands.

Pagal4321 · 11-12-2009, 10:20 AM

I got a few questions for the masses.

1. Start 3 of these WR, and yes, I know they all suck!!

Mike Wallace vs. CIN
Braylon Edwards vs. JAC
Bernard Berrian vs. DET
Ted Ginn Jr. vs. TB
Jeremy Maclin @ SD

And secondly, which RB should I pick up in FA (need to replace Portis).

Beanie Wells
Julius Jones
Fred Jackson
Felix Jones
Carnell Williams

corporatejay · 11-12-2009, 01:37 PM

Quick help since the game is tonight.

Devin Hester v. 49ers.

Calvin Johnson v. Vikings.

Johnson is a stud with great garbage time numbers (of which I'm sure they'll be plenty in this game) however he was ineffective last week and still coming off an injury.

Hester is a good B receiver, probably good for maybe 5-6 points.

I'm leaning towards Johnson....thoughts.

I can tell ya not to pick up Jackson or Felix Jones or Beanie Wells...
The Cards seem to be thowing a lot more and not to their Rb's
Beanie Wells is the Backup behind hightower and doesnt get as much work .

Jackson has practically lost 90 % of his carries to Marshawn Lynch ( even though he isnt picking up any pts either)

Felix Jones is supposed to be Dallas' Homerun threat but he hasnt done much of anything. Marion barber is still the feature back there and gets most if not all the goaline carries

Sainters7 · 11-12-2009, 09:44 PM

Thank God I benched the Niners D this week. Who needs those 5 INT's...

It is ok, I ignored everyone on the board besides Sylvanfan and went with Maroney. I blame Sylvanfan for being on my msn and ruining everything!

Always start your studs! (though maybe Maroney can have a big game?)

Sylvanfan · 11-12-2009, 09:52 PM

Maroney will get 100 yards rushing 15 yards receiving and 2TD's. Only a fool would panic on Thursday. Besides if not for that chinsey holding penalthy Forte only gets 90 yards receiving.

That or you shouldn't take advice from a guy who doesn't play fantasy football!

I'd probably pick up Cadillac Williams out of the list of those. Julius Jones second...

I'd think about starting Edwards as Sanchez seems to always be looking for him lately but I don't know that I'd feel good about it.

I picked up crabtree the day he was announced and he hasnt done much of anything. Last minute I took crabtree out of my lineup and put in Braylon Edwards. Here is hoping it works out .

I dont have good Wr corps, But my 3 RB's are Gore, Ray Rice, and Barber.... I picked up Miles Austin the week before he blew up. I have been trying to package Marion Barber, Kellen Winslow, and Santana Moss for a Number 1 Wr.
I think that package might get me Reggie Wayne today!
