The Audible LIVE! 10/27/11 - 10pm ET (1 Viewer)

In a 12 team non-ppr standard league where we only start 2 RB's and no flex I have Ray Rice, Fred Jackson, and Forte to go along with Nicks and some mediocre/weak WR's. Another owner has offered me Andre Johnson and Ryan Matthews for Matt Forte, Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon. Should I take it?

Love the show and thanks for your help!

Tebow or Big Ben?

Vernon Davis or Aaron Hernandez?

I'm looking to stash a RB on my roster in a 10 team, 4 keeper PPR. I currently have Ray Rice, AP and Blount as well as Issac Redmond. I'm looking to dump Redmond and take a shot on one of the following...please take a look and rank these RB's and if possible who would you (Or Matt) see as the most talented of the bunch. The RB's are:

Michael Bush

Delone Carter

Javon Ringer

Ryan Torain/Roy Helu- But I hate that whole situation

Alphonso Smith

CJ Spiller- playing WR in a PPR?

Personally I was thinking Ringer since something just doesnt seem right with Chris Johnson (an injury maybe?) but I don't know much about his overall talent.

Thanks again guys!

For those of us who were able to grab Tebow and already have a top-flight QB (I have Vick, but think along the lines of Brady, Brees, Rodgers, etc.), is the move to hold Tebow and see if his value increases in the coming weeks, or do you trust Tebow enough to trade away that stud QB to shore up other areas of your roster?

I'm faced with the possibility of being able to move Vick and Finley (already have Daniels) for Adrian Peterson, and it seems like it's worth the risk to land a stud RB or WR as the difference between Vick and Tebow is probably going to be closer than ADP and whoever I roll out in my flex position, right?

I'm really hurting at WR this week because of injuries and byes. Currently starting Demaryius Thomas and Greg Little. Are there any sneaky wideout pickups you would recommend this week?

Hey guys, looking forward to the show as always....

If you had to rank Jamaal Charles (assuming his rehab goes relatively well - paging Dr.Jene on what his timeline would be from now until week 1 in '12) for 2012 right now, where would the dynamic, but currently hindered RB rank for everyone in redraft 2012 and dynasty formats moving forward?

Two rookies that have yet to even see a touch in 2011 that I really like are Shane Vereen and Bilal Powell. What are your thoughts on their late season prospects and potential to make an impact in 2012?

 
Do you have any early predictions on 3rd year WRs that you see breaking out next year.

Im looking at the RSP and some guys that stand out are the TB guys (Arrelious Benn/ Dezmon Briscoe), the Steeler guys (Antonio Brown/ Emmanuel Sanders), the Carolina guys (David Gettis/Brandon LaFell), any clarity on these situations? You also have Demaryius Thomas, Jacoby Ford, and Danario Alexander. Are there any that stand out, or is it too early and see how the season develops.

Can't wait to listen, keep up the good work.

Hello guys, Great show as always.

I am trying to decide if I want to "go for it" this year in my PPR dynasty league by trading Jamaal Charles and a future 1st in 2012 for Ryan Mathews.

Obviously this move would help me this year (my current #2 RB is M-Morris because of injuries) but am I giving up too much for the future to try and win now ?

How will Mathews compare to Charles coming into next year ?

Hey guys, love your show!

12 team .5 ppr. Percy Harvin just hit the waiver wire. Ive got $35 FAAB left, how much would you guys spend? Ive got V-jax, Welker and just lost Santana Moss for WR depth. Do you think Harvin turns it around after his ribs get healthy and help from Ponder? Thanks!!

 
Hi guys, what's up? Love the show...

SomeNFL teams appear to be close to getting a new head coach (Miami and Jax immediately come to my mind). Do you think a new coach can motivate such teams and rattle the cage a bit, which might translate into some of the players of said teams having (temporary) fantasy value again?

Keep up the great work. :thumbup:

Truly Yours

 
Did some upside down drafting and need some RB help. Very deep at WR especially with Andre coming back soon. Also have Don Mega, Dez, AJ Green and Mario Manningham. Hurting at RB due to injuries to Felix and Best. Have Freddie Jackson as my first RB and have lots of Shutyourmouth behind them. Deangelo, MoMo, Murray, Tate, Hardesty, and Ridley. Spiller is also available.

Do I keep with the backups for Felix and Best in MoMo and Murray or try to trade for some upgrades? I saw Wildman's Gut Check suggest eyeing Stewart. Would manningham be reasonable for Stewart?

TD = 6pts but double if over 50 yds. Yardage is 2 pts for 50 yd and 3 more pts for over 100 yds.

Thanks for the clarity, gotta go do some motorboating now.

Is that enough buzzwords to get my answer?

 
I am dealing with a roster full of inconsistant WR's VJax, Holmes, Harvin (who I thought would be PPR studs at the start of the year). My question is more related to Jackson, as I thought he would be a clear WR1 this year. Seems the Gates injury has really let down the Chargers passing game.

Can you talk about what is going on with Rivers and Jackson in San Diego. Are the Chargers moving to a strict running team or will Rivers and VJax start lighting it up in the second half of the season?

Appreciate you time - Love the Show.

 
Hi guys, love the show!

Watching Stafford closely the last couple of weeks he seems to have regressed. He is inaccurate, and doesn't seem as poised in the pocket as he used to. What is your take? Is he a sell high candidate?

Awesome show fellas! Here's some stuff to think about:

I'm delirious for Demaryius. Should I be? Does he hold at least potential for a WR2 value rest of way on a regular basis? Does Julius Thomas loom as a threat to Demaryius or help?

Will Stafford's inconsistency cause those who own Megatron to see his value degrade over the next few weeks? With many leagues getting close to trade deadline in the next few weeks is Megatron a trade high guy?

Thanks alot!

+1 good posting!
 
Hi Guys. Love your show (I listen every week). Can you give us your take on Antonio Brown/Manny Sanders in PIT. Assuming Ward does not go, what do we expect? Is Brown still the better play even if Sanders gets the start?

How do you like the matchup if Ward DOES start? How would you compare these WR to Demaryius Thomas this week?

Thanks as always.

 
I have a feeling you might touch on this in the show anyway, but is Terrell Owens still a hold even though no teams seem interested in him at the moment? My leagues are deep, but its either TO and the end of my bench, or Little or SMoss/Decker depending on the league. In a bye week bench, should I be dropping TO right now or hold him over the other guys?

Also, what is the wise thing to do with Stafford this week if you have a good backup? It looks like he will start after practicing with the 1st team today, but Im scared he re-aggravates the ankle and kills his value this week, while I could start Eli vs MIA with a great matchup and safer bet.

Thanks!

 
2 Wk. 8 questions:

1) If Emmanuel Sanders starts in Hines Ward's slot, does this put a damper on a big day for Antonio Brown? Or is Brown's ceiling unchanged?

2) Who has the bigger week- Beck or Ponder? And do you like either to be an interesting play in a 2-QB league later in the year?

 
Hey guys. Sig, you are the best weekly projector in the business. Cecil, you're my boy. If you were here I'd motorboat the hell out of you in a non wierd way. Sig, don't be jealous.

In all seriousness, I have some football topics too. Why is Landry getting more love than Barkley lately. Barkley has all the tools and the success. I think he'll be the second best QB drafted next season. Assuming the Rams miss out on Luck do you think it's a smart move to take a Matt Barkley or Landry Jones and their cheaper contract and trade Bradford for a first and a NFL player? I believe in Bradford but I'm just as high or more on this years crop of QB's and the salary difference will be through the roof. Thought?

 
A qucik note:

I am down here in San Diego and the rampant speculation is that Rivers is nursing an injury he won't admit to having. His accuaracy is way off and his throws lack zip. He got smoked a few times in the New England game and has not ben the same since. Something to think on....

as well as this.....

If Bradford does not play...which it looks like.....and for some reason Hill plays for Stafford...

should we all play Hill over Hasselbeck?

Why do I love this week...CAUSE FREEMAN is on a bye and i don't have to watch him SUCK!!!!

 
2 questions:

- TE pickups for DEEP leagues - I've got Dallas Clark and nothing else at the position. The top guy out on the waiver wire is Ed Dickson and others that are pretty much even with Clark. Is Julius Thomas the best shot at getting someone who can play at a top-10 level the rest of the year, or are there other options that could pan out in the TE20 and up range the rest of the year?

- Current trade opportunities - It seems like more than ever that it is impossible to pull off trades. Other coaches seem to overvalue overachievers while refusing to discount underperformers from where they were drafted. What tendencies do you see and how can sharks take advantage of those tendencies?

Love the show - you're the reason I don't mind my commute!

 
Can you talk about getting value in trades for QBs? You've said people should be asking a lot for Tebow and a lot of us own Cam & a top 7ish QB. I feel like I need to cash in over the next couple weeks while byes are still on to the best return but in 10 and even 12 team leagues it can be difficult to find someone to give you a clear upgrade to the rest of your roster.

 
Against the Jets and Raiders, Gronk was used to block on a lot of passing downs and his fantasy numbers suffered because of it (5-46-0 total in week 4 and 5). Can we tie that to facing a 3-4 defense, Aaron Hernandez's availability, blitz pickup, ect..? Trend or specific game plan?

 
Sam Bradford. Has looked erratic to say the least for the first half of the season. With the signing of Lloyd and taking time off to get healthy, do you think the Rams can turn it around where Bradford could be a nice playoff QB down the stretch against SEA, CIN, and PIT?

Hey Kenny, didn't get to this one so wanted to answer it here. I've got NO LOVE for T.O. (just like the NFL)Too many issues mentally and physically, too late in the year for him to REALLY make an impact for a fantasy team. By the time he gets up to speed could be too late if .... a BIG IF, a team signs him. Love all the guys you listed more than T.O.I have the same problem as you at QB Eli or Stafford??? I went with Eli in my main hybrid dynasty league. It's the league I care about the most and am defending champion. Von Miller is going to get to Stafford who will have limited mobility. Gameplan for Denver is to send the house at Stafford, plus Champ v Don Mega led to 3 catches 47 yards 0 TDs last time (2007) they locked horns. Mega was a rookie at the time, but Champ still playing at the top of his game. :thumbup:

1) I don't think so. Brown is best served as a slot receiver IMHO. Without Ward we'll get a glimpse of what the Steelers WR corps will look like in the near future. Sanders getting the call because he's a better blocker. Brown a GREAT slot receiver, quick twitch guy who has earned the trust of Big Ben by making clutch catches. 2) I actually like Ponder a little more than Beck this week. As everyone knows I'm not a Beck fan, but he could have a good day against a Bills defense that gives it up through the air. They're currently 30th against the pass with 10 passing TDs allowed. They are ballhawks as they have 12 picks on the year. Long-term the answer is Ponder as well. I have a feeling Shanahan could go back to Grossman if/when Beck struggles. The leash for Beck is much, much shorter than it was for Grossman. I don't trust Shanahan, but I trust Leslie Frazier...and Ponder!Fantasy playoff schedule goes like this:WAS 14 - NE, 15 - @NYG, 16 - MINMIN 14 - @DET, 15 - NO, 16 - @WAS

Cheers, Cecil :banned: I think dropping TO has a small chance at biting me in the ###, but I think that its probably smarter to just drop him. Im definitely with you on the QBs and plan on starting fartface Eli over Stafford but was 2nd guessing myself. DET has been fun to watch this year, and now that Tebow is starting I might have to watch more of that game than planned.

I'm right there with you man, and answered a similar question in my Denver Post column this week. Barkley is not on the level of Luck (nobody is) but his is much, much better than Jones as a pro prospect. I'm not going to throw 'pro ready' around because players are never truly ready for the NFL. However, he can drop back and read a defense at the same time. Jones plays in a gimmicky system that requires short throws and simple reads. OU's offense changes one route per play, most passing plays are lined up the same way (generally) and 3 of 4 WRs will run same route, one will change per play..that's it! It's super simplified, just like it was for Bradford. Barkley makes better decisions downfield than Jones, plus he doesn't break down mentally in the red zone the way that Jones does. When the field is cramped you see Jones forcing passes. Barkley will throw it away if he needs to. Jones presses when in the red zone (he has improved over the course of the year, scouts have noticed). I watch players under pressure to gauge what they can do because the NFL is all about playing under fire. Barkley stands strong in the pocket, has enough strength to break away from arm tackles, and has the ability to climb the ladder to escape pressure. Jones presses when he feels the rush and will force throws and generally gets careless with the football.Give me Barkley over Jones. Prepare for Barkley to get dinged for his size 6'1" but I love his toughness, football intelligence, athleticism, and leadership ability. BTW, I think 3 QBs go in the top 10...maybe top 5. I also think 5 total QBs go in the first-round (Ryan Tannehill my #4, Robert Griffin #5).

thanks for the insight there statgrubby....I would go with Hill over Hasselbeck (although it's close) Plus, it looks like Stafford is 80% chance to play.

Julius Thomas, Kyle Rudolph, Ed Dickson all players that could emerge later in the year. We've seen enough flashes from Dickson, but I don't trust his QB to be consistent from week to week. Rudolph is very intriguing to me because of the spark Christian Ponder gave this offense/team in week 7. Shiancoe's injury may open the door for this athletic rookie to make plays. Thomas could still emerge towards the end of the season the same way Jimmy Graham did last year. The Graham comparison is accurate, but Thomas in more of a traditional offense under John Fox. I can never impress on paper or on the air just how raw Thomas is. He only played one year of college football and is still learning the nuances of the game. Everything that he's flashed in the preseason, training camp is just off of raw ability. The nice thing about him being raw is the fact that he has no preconceived notions or bad habits. He will be told to do something and he does it to the letter. Fast learner, great kid with enthusiasm to be great. Hopefully the high ankle sprain doesn't slow him down, and we should see him back on the field this week against the Lions.

I say it's specific gameplan. Gronk could have a big game against the Steelers this week. It's Bellichick's secret plan to frustrate fantasy owners :lol:
 
Awsome Rant by Cecil on Flacco - I almost spit my coffee all over my PC screen while listening - Love the classic lines.

"JP Losman looks at Flacco and says he sucks, Rex Grossman makes fun of Joe Flacco"

Great stuff. I want to hear more rants from Cecil.
