2012 Fantasy Football "Who should I start?" Thread

^ If anything see if anyone will bite on Alfred Morris while he's hot. I turned my Morris FA acquisition into a trade for Victor Cruz.
 
Need some advice.

Trade that was proposed to me:
Cam Newton and Fred Jackson (other team) for Hakeem Nicks and Rashard Mendenhall (my team)

Here is my current roster:
QB-Rober Griffin III, Matthew Stafford
WR- Brandon Marshall, Anquan Boldin, Stevie Johnson, Hakeem Nicks
RB- LeSean McCoy, Steven Jackson, Ben Tate, Rashard Mendenhall, BenJarvus Green-Ellis
TE- Brent Celek, Jason Witten
K- Shayne Graham
DEF- Houston

Roster Spots are QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, WR/RB, K, DEF

Remember, this is coming from a newbie but Nicks is still not 100% and Mendenhall (who I also have) is just coming off an injury and may not be 100% for a few games. It seems you are set at QB and Fred Jackson is nothing special so I would just sit and wait till your guys get healthy and put them back in.

I would decline that with your current roster.

Given that you have both RGIII AND Stafford, I wouldnt do that deal at all.
 
Standard 10 team ESPN non-ppr.

Two questions, but first my roster:


QB Tom Brady

RB Ahmad Bradshaw, Alfred Morris, BenJarvis Green-Ellis, Andre Brown, Jacquizz Rodgers, Jackie Battle

WR Larry Fitz, A.J. Green, Wes Welker, Torrey Smith, Jerome Simpson

TE Martellus Bennett

D/ST Cardinals

K Greg Zuerlein


I'm interested in trading a package of Larry Fitz or Wes Welker and Green-Ellis for an upgrade at RB. Who could I possibly get? I have a feeling that I will get lowballed because of the slow starts for the receivers.

Second, I dropped Kendall Hunter this morning to pick up Jackie Battle. I was torn between him or Jaquizz Rodgers. The 6 RB limit stops me from dropping someone else (it would be Andre Brown but I want to make sure Bradshaw is completely healthy first). Now I think the guy I work with is going to pick up Hunter. Should I have kept Hunter or do you think Rodgers has more of a chance with Turner's injury history?

I know it's splitting hairs over bench guys that make no difference now, but I'm looking at potential to take over late in the year. (One other thing, RBs are hoarded in this league, as if you couldn't tell.)
 
[quote name='pitfallharry219']Ha. I've got those two also. I think I'm gonna go with Arizona.[/QUOTE]

Arizona it is then.

Now for the rest of my roster.

My waiver claim went thru for Dalton. Should I start him vs. Miami or Vick @ Pittsburgh?

RB: Foster, Sproles, BJGE, Williams, Tate
WR: Fitz, Welker, D.Thomas(FLEX), Hartline
TE: Cook (Witten on bye)
K: Bryant

I think the rest of my lineup pretty much sets itself. Gotta start Fitz and Welker at WR. Will probably start D.Thomas at FLEX, and I only have one kicker & TE available this week.
 
Not the start I was looking for out of my D. Bradford goes right down the field for a score in about 4 plays.

EDIT: Thanks a bunch Kolb for missing a wide open FITZ in the endzone!

Start Vick vs. Pittsburgh (are you fucking kidding me? you are seriously asking this question?)

Start Dalton vs. the koosh ball Miami Dolphins.
 
[quote name='merchie89']rams kicker is outscoring my opponents Steven Jackson and Ryan williams. good day so far![/QUOTE]Haha, I just picked up the Ram's kicker off waivers the other day. He already has more points than the only other member of my team playing tonight, Fitzgerald :cry:

EDIT: Thank god Larry didn't let it stay like that for long :D

A very minor blip on the radar. As usual, Foster is on the injury report. He practiced in full and is probable for the game against the Jets. The only reason I mention it is because it's a MNF game.

I said earlier I would probably start both Foster and Tate, now I almost have to. The only other guy I have on my roster is Johnathon Stewart who isn't on bye. Yuck.
 
[quote name='4thHorseman']Ugh. Picked up Amendola from waivers about a week ago, and now a possible broken collarbone.[/QUOTE]

Me too thought the guy was crazy. Well thank goodness for that 44 yarder on the second play or it would have been a total waste. Anyway, officially it's a separated shoulder he'll be out 6-8 weeks, so dropping him now.
 
I've got 4 players on bye this week so should I play Rashard Mendenhall or pick someone off waivers who might could get me 7-8 points because that's all that's left on the waivers for RB and WR. I was able to snatch Hixon (Giants) since Hakeem will be out. My only other player on my bench who I could put in is back up Falcon RB Rogers.

Sorry, another question. I am trying to trade Antonio Gates for Greg Jennings since I have Martellus Bennett as my backup TE but it looks like the trade may not go through until Monday. Gates is playing NO and Bennett is playing Philly. If I still have both come Sun, which should I start? Yahoo projects 13 for Gates and 8 for Bennett. Thx from a newbie.

Projections mean nothing. Start Gates, in fact, if you trade him you should do better than Jennings.
 
Alright dilemmas dilemmas

Starting atm:

E.Manning
D.Sproles
M.Colston
R.White
A.Hawkins
T.Smith
D.Pitta - TE
Browns Def
Henery


My issue is do I start Forte against Jacksonville?

Instead of Sproles, no.
 
[quote name='perdition(troy']WR:

Brandon Lloyd
Percy Harvin
Antonio Brown
Brian Hartline

3 of the 4.[/QUOTE]

Lloyd, Harvin and Hartline? Brown has a tough matchup with Cromartie and Awesome-wha?
 
[quote name='sying']Lloyd, Harvin and Hartline? Brown has a tough matchup with Cromartie and Awesome-wha?[/QUOTE]

Agree. Bench brown.
 
OK got a few tricky ones...:

1.) Which TE?: Vernon Davis or Rob Gronk? (Yes, i actually have both of them lol)

2.) Got to start three of these guys:
- Brandon Marshall
- Donald Brown
- Armond Binns? (Apparently he is the Bengals 2nd receiver)
- Nate Washington
- Pick up Jerome Simpson?

3). Matt Schaub or Eli Manning (Im leaning heavily towards Manning but if you can talk me out of it, go for it lol)
 
Definitely go with Eli over Schaub. It's more than likely than the Texans are going to blow the Jets out, and they will probably abandon the passing game in the 2nd half, especially considering that they have two great running backs to share the load. The Browns are 0-4, but they have have played 4 really close games. They will probably hang around, and Eli will be throwing the ball all over the place.
 
Now that my awesome team is healthy I need some help:

1. R. Fitzpatrick (at SF) or A. Smith (vs. BUF)?

Smith is projected for more points but Fitzpatrick will be throwing all freaking day... but against the SF defense who are really good...

2. Need to start 2 of 3 WRs:

J. Jones (at WAS)
M. Wallace (vs. PHI)
D. Bowe (vs. BAL)

I'm leaning towards sitting Bowe because of the match-up .

3. Need to start 3 of 5 RBs:

C. Johnson (at MIN)
M. Forte (at JAX)
A. Bradshaw (vs. CLE)
S. Ridley (vs. DEN)
A. Brown (vs. CLE)

I really have no idea what to do about my RB situation.

Thoughts?
 
I have been plagued with inconsistent RBs my entire FF career! I'm used to it by now but this year I just have an abundance of them. Who do you guys think the best options are outta

Charles vs Bal
Turner vs Was
Morris vs Atl
Benson vs Ind

I have them ranked like that but I'm worried all around.

Also, which TE do you go with? Pitta vs KC or Chandler vs SF

I'm thinking Turner & Benson at RB and Pitta for sure at TE. SF has a killer D, KC not so much...
 
Can someone give me some WR help....

Currently have Brian Hartline vs Cin starting... but could also use

Andrew Hawkins vs Mia or
Antonio Brown vs Phi
 
^ No, keep Bush or Turner instead. Also go with alex smith!

OK ive got one, for my flex should i go (NEED TO START TWO!): Andrew Hawkins, Jerome Simpson, Donald Brown or Nate Washington..

Hawkins and Washington, I like Washington to get some good looks today.

For my flex,

Anquan Boldin or Ahmad Bradshaw?

I'd have to go with Simpson and Washington. Hawkins is ridiculously talented, but they just don't seem to throw to him. And Brown I just don't think will do much this week.

For my flex, Sproles or Mathews?

Bradshaw, easily.
 
Gates vs NO, who has given up the second least points to TEs this year, or Rudolph vs Tennessee, who has given up the most points to TEs this year? I played Rudolph last week and he got me jack shit, so I'm a little hesitant to roll with him again.

And I can't decide on Demaryius Thomas vs NE or Domenik Hixon vs CLE for my flex.

I would probably roll with Gates over Rudolph even though I like him a lot.

And Hixon, I think over Thomas.

I would go with Gates. He has to explode sometime this year. The Saints may have given up the least to TE's but overall their D is horrible.
 
[quote name='Chitown021']Are you kidding me? Did Vick just shit the bed again? Coughs it up going in for a score on the one yard line?[/QUOTE]

And he just fumbled again. :lol:
 
[quote name='pitfallharry219']And he just fumbled again. :lol:[/QUOTE]

Holy cow! Thank goodness I claimed and started Dalton (not that he's done a lot so far but it beats 2 fumbles).

EDIT: From what I was watching earlier he'd be on his third fumble had he not gotten lucky and been ruled down by contact b/c Pittsburgh happened to touch him with their feet!
 
Well that's my season in a nutshell. Even though I benched Vick and he had two fumbles early he STILL ends up outscoring Dalton.

Pathetic!
