Ballsy/Crazy/Stupid/Genius moves (1 Viewer)

I'm not really doing anything Ballsy/Crazy/Stupid/Genius this week thanks to bye weeks and injuries I don't have many options.

The only move that could possibly be questionable is I'm benching the Titans for the Jets and Ginn for Breaston in a return yardage league. I want to watch something on Thursday and the Raiders are so terrible against the run plus my opponent is starting Warner.

What ballsy/crazy/stupid/genius moves are you guys making this week?

 
Is starting the Colts defense over the Jets defense ballsy/crazy/stupid/genius? :goodposting:

The Patriots don't seem like they make a lot of mistakes, and Sage Rosenfels seems like he makes a ton.

 
Starting Slaton over a 50/50 Portis (now CP is guaranteed to play and get 120/3 td's)

Starting Bowe over Megatron, so Thigpen man-crushers take note...he'll go in the tank, Bowe will be invisible and Calvin will go nuts @ Car.

just sayin'

 
Considering dropping the Chargers D/ST for the Dolphins D/ST, and starting the Dolphins over the Jets.

Jets have jumped to the #1 FF defense spot in my league.

Dolphins are hot and playing at home vs Oakland.

Why was Breaston returning kicks over JJ? Doesn't JJ usually return them?
 
Not really crazy but thinking of starting CJ3 and Lendale vs. JAX and benching MJD against the Titans
I had the same group until Tuesday when I shipped MJD off in a multi-player deal. FWIW - If I still had all 3 I would not sit MJD. I'm not expecting a carbon copy of the first game and Jacksonville may have just gotten the boost of confidence they needed against the Lions.

Nothing earth-shattering for me either, but Iplan to start Santonio Holmes as my WR3 instead of Cotch or VJax. I figure if I don't start him against a suspect SD pass defense, I'll never start him....plus Favre has looked less than stellar, and I figure Pitt D will be in Rivers' face all day, so Cotch & VJax don't look great to me either.

JJ did some returns when Breaston took Boldin's place but Breaston still returns the bulk of the returns.

Alright, guess that would make since thanks!
 
Nothing insane per se, but I have been playing Jacobs all year in one of my leagues and I am benching him for Hightower. That Ravens/Jacobs matchup, not so much.

I think it's Ballsy. But not stupid. While the Jets D has been on fire, you're absolutely spot on with your analysis. The Jets are difficult to run against and I'm not sure how well the Patriots will fare if they have no running game. Best of luck!
 
Right now ...

I have Shaun Hill in over Romo

... Randy Moss, Roddy WHite and Andre Johnson in over T. Owens.

..all are good options but I am leery / eager to see where the Boys offense and Romo are @ vs Washington....

 
Starting Steve Breaston over Randy Moss. Don't like the game tonight for Moss. Rain and wind make for a good day for Welker, not Moss. Breaston has been getting his and is up against a bad Seahawks defense.

Bear in mind the following postulates:

1) Start 1 qb, 2rb, 2 wr, 1 te, 1 flex (rb, wr, te), 1 k, 1 def (Non PPR); 10 team league

2) trade deadline 11/13

3) it is very difficult to trade in this league

Traded 'Flash' Johnson, MJD, JLew, and Andre Johnson for ADP and Larry Johnson

Then

Traded Larry Johnson, Ronnie Brown, and Roddy White for Frank Gore and Greg Jennings

Starting lineup for the rest of the year ---> Bress, ADP, Gore, Colston, Jennings, Wittne, SJax/Cotchery/Fargas, DEF, & PK

Last of many trades; drafted SJax, Brees, JLew, Marshall, Witten, Gates, Selvin Young, Cotchery, Ronnie Brown, Schaub, Deangelo Williams

Picked White up off waivers right after he was dropped wk1

Paid a lot but hoping i made the right moves!

In looking at the hour-by-hour forecast for Foxboro, it looks like it will be raining all day (and throughout the game tonight) but the winds look light - around 10 mph. Not trying to dissuade you, just adding some weather info.

You paid a lot but you clearly have a great starting lineup. Nicely done.
