Jeff,
I have a couple of PPR questions, if you have the time.
My Team
QB - Schaub, Roethlisberger, Sanchez
RB - Chris Johnson, Ronnie Brown, Chester Taylor, Norwood
WR - Andre Johnson, Bowe, Devin Hester, Sims-Walker, Breaston, Avery, Justin Gage
TE - Gates, Heap
K- Tynes
D/ST - Redskins (I know, I know - will be dropped after the game on Sunday)
Start - 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1OP(QB, WR, RB, or TE), 1K, 1D/ST
Passing TD = 3pts
ANY rushing TD 6pts (including QB) 3pt bonus for any rush TD of 40+yds
ANY receiving TD 6 pts - 3pt bonus for rec TD of 40+ yds
1 point per reception,
rush/rec yards = 0.1pt/1yard
pass yards 0.05pt/yd
NO TRADES in our league, but unlimited add/drops.
1) I was thinking about dropping Avery if he had one more crappy week, which he did have but with the injury to Robinson, I am rethinking giving him a third chance. Is he worth keeping? I am thinking about picking up Garcon with Indy. I like that he has a MUCH better QB throwing to him than Boeller or Bulger. Other options in my league are Gaffney with Denver, Mike Wallace - Pit, or Kelley Washington with Bal. Are any of these guys worth dropping Avery for? Pick up Garcon if you need a starter for next 2-3 weeks. If not, keep Avery.
2) I have been a little thin at RB all year, and there are only 2 worthy additions in my league, Coffee and Choice. I am leaning toward trying to pick up Coffee, thinking about Gore maybe not being 100% for quite a while, and Coffee might be less likely to split carries, plus he looked good on TV filling in for Gore. Is Coffee the better fill in for my team compared to Choice? And if so, do I drop a banged up Norwood or a WR? (In my PPR league, I like Taylor as a bye week fill in and the two weeks I didn't start him he outscored Ronnie Brown, and the time I started him over Ronnie Brown, Ronnie went off on MNF.) What I see is that I have 2 weekly RB1's and 2 back up RB's. I might feel better having bench RB's that actually will get some carries or receptions. Tell me what you think. I would drop Norwood and a QB for both Coffee and Choice. Coffee is a top five play at RB this week vs StL.
3) Defense question. I picked up the Redskins thinking they were playing a terrible team in Detroit, but they looked worse than Detroit and I want to pick up a better D/ST. But I am having a hard time trying to read which teams actually score TD's as points against vary wildly from week to week and I don't want to keep the Redskins.
Our league has the following scoring for D/ST...
0 points allowed 10pts
2-6 points allowed 7
7-13 points allowed 4
14-17 points allowed 1
Blocked Punt or FG return for TD = 6pts
Each Interception, Fumble Recovered, or Safety 2pts
Each Sack 1pt
Kickoff Return TD, Punt Return TD, Interception Return TD, or Fumble Return TD = 6pts
Here are the teams I am looking at picking up for the soon to be dropped Redskins... Bengals, Saints, Colts, 49ers, or Bills(Miami and then Cleveland)
Do you have a tip on one of these teams? And is it ok to just play matchups week to week for D/ST since I didn't draft a good defense, or should I get a team and just ride it out? The Bengals are the top defense this week.
Thanks for all your help.
