    Turner/Snelling owners withn no other options,

    Am I the only rube starting both Snelling and Turner? We can start three WR or three RB, and I'm going with both of the Atlanta RB plus Thomas Jones, and yanking Steve Smith (CAR) out. I figure Smith won't do much today anyway.

    Week 10 Venting Thread

    Tie game. My guy, Addai, gets stuffed on 1st and goal and the one. Next play, my opponent's guy, Wayne, catches the TD. Instead of winning by six (or at worst, tying), I lose by six.

    Week 9 Venting Thread

    Anyone else play against Cutler AND Greg Olsen today? What a travesty.

    Benched him and started Chris Johnson, Ronnie Brown, and Jacobs. :bag:

    I'm starting P.Holmes over _____________ this weekend

    Nice to see I'm not the only one starting Priest over MJD. In my other league, I'm starting Priest over Jamal Lewis -- the match-ups made me do it.

    So I just picked up Kenton Keith on waivers? If you did too.......

    I just picked him up to screw over the Addai owner in my conference who's two games ahead of me.

    Question about 10-team Perfect Draft

    I'm sorry if this is a ridiculous question, but in Dodds' 10-team Perfect Draft article, he talked about compiling your own Top 50 list by looking at value vs. ADP, and closed by saying, "You can get a tailored list by entering your scoring criteria into the VBD or Draft Dominator applications."...

    How does a RB/WR flex change your draft strategy

    I play in a 10-team league with these starting requirements with a standard scoring system (1 pt./10 yds. rushing or receiving), no PPR, and I usually go RB/RB/RB with pretty good success. Last year out of the #3 spot I picked Alexander (bust), but still came out OK by going Westbrook/Parker in...

    Who was your first fantasy pick ever

    Hey, I drafted Okoye ninth overall two years AFTER you did in my first FF experience. Looking back at his career stats, he apparently had a bit of a rebound year in 1991, leading me to the inescapable conclusion he would be awesome.

    3rd spot, Is it really LJ?

    I'm not a Steelers fan, but I'm thinking of going with Parker at #3 on Sunday if LJ isn't signed by then. He's the most proven of the other non-LJ running backs there and is still on the upswing, I think.

    Do FBG rankings have value anymore?

    You can't defend the #1 Vick ranking by FBG, and then deride someone for starting him and say they deserve to lose. What you can do is say that Vick laid an egg at the worst possible time -- and that the guy who wanted his money back after 14 weeks is a tool.

    Anyone trade for Alexander

    I traded him straight up for Boldin last week. I have Westbrook, Parker and Tatum Bell at running back but jack squat for receivers.

    Did you ever decide a starter based on game time?

    Doesn't anyone like to NOT have someone in the Monday Night game (especially if it's an otherwise meaningless game) so they don't have to worry about it? I'd kill to have my game over with today so I don't have to worry about the distance and frequency of Robbie Gould's field goals tomorrow...

    Putting video from YOUTUBE on CBS Sportsline site

    I just added this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw2csPj2Tt4 under the pretense that it was my rival's 2006 highlight video. This could become an all-consuming obsession.

    Does your league do anything cool?

    We have a unique (I think) standings points system that's designed to take some of the sting out of the vagaries of head-to-head match-ups, and reward the highest-scoring teams. All head-to-head winners get two points, and the rest of the system breaks down this way: four points for the...

    I could have had TO but I drafted Chambers

    I didn't know that, but I'm not surprised -- George and Moss had a pretty good rapport with the Purple when George took over for Randall Cunningham in 1999. Hey, they're perfect for each other.

    I could have had TO but I drafted Chambers

    As long as we're talking mental instability, was anyone else as crazy as I was in drafting Owens AND Moss back-to-back with 2.10 and 3.01? I took LJ with the #1 and by the time it got back to me, Smith, Johnson, Harrison, Fitz and Holt were gone. It's a TD-heavy league, I wasn't crazy about the...

    What was your worst fantasy pick ever?

    Christian Okoye with the ninth pick in 1992. It was my first year in fantasy football and, deservedly, the last year of the Nightmare's NFL career.

    wannabee Strategy Thread

    Biabreakable,Thanks for the feedback. It's a 10-team league. When I run a mock draft with other teams drafting by ADP, here are the running backs left by my second-round pick: Parker, JJones, DDavis, Droughns, KJones, Bush, Chester Taylor, Dunn, Tatum Bell. Receivers left include Moss, Holt...

    wannabee Strategy Thread

    Thanks! I'm picking third, which means I'll get a horse with my first round pick. Various mock drafts with DD have left me with the choice of Moss/Holt (WR 4 and 5) or McGahee/Parker(RB 13/14) in the second round. I'd probably take your advice and take a WR here and see what's left for a RB in...
