Alright Jeff, final question.....

Avery or GAGE!

Avery I like its Bulger I don't trust and Laurent Robinson is also lurking out there without any foot problems

I know I have Chris Johnson as well but Gage looked like a solid # 1 last night.

Thanks

that is a close one. Gage did look good last night. I do like him. But, let's remember that the Titans threw so much because Pitt was stopping the run so well. There will be games where Gage gets very little action because the Titans are running with ease
 
Ok, so I am going to drop HIXON for AVERY.

Would you start AVERY over D MASON & COTCHERY this week in the #3 slot?

THANKS! I'm going to push my Bulger worries to the back and trust your faith in Avery!

Let's play some FOOTBALL, Jeff :angry:

no, I would watch Avery this week. Mason and Cotch have decent matchups. I would pick up Avery and see what happens.
 
Ok, so Mason or Cotch? I was leaning towards Mason's matchup this week and let Sanchez get comfy as the starter....thoughts?
 
Hey Jeff,

Doin what will probably be a weekly second opinion gathering hehe

1/15 rec

1/10 rush

0.5 PPR

Ahmad Bradshaw vs WAS

Derrick Mason vs KC

Jerricho Cotchery vs HOU

Chester Taylor vs CLE

And just in case I am totally missing an injury or something, either WR over Colston or Housh this week? And my RB starters are Grant and AD, lookin good.

ETA: I have a deal in the making, Zach Miller to me for Donald Brown/Josh Morgan or Chester/Morgan. Definitely keeping my AD cuff as I think he becomes a top 8 guy if AD goes down...and I could flex him with AD sometimes anyway.

I offered just Brown for Miller (as my TE is Jermichael Finley.....and the wire is bare) but am not sure if it is worth it to add in Morgan. Then again, with Colston/Housh/Cotch/Mason I doubt I'll use Morgan....except I have a hunch he blows up and I would start flexing him over one of my RB3s... thoughts?

McNabb vs CAR

or

Palmer vs DEN

4 pt passing TDs 1 pt / 20 yards.

leaning toward McNabb, but Palmer's matchup is intriguing. I can see Palmer hooking up with Henry for multiple TDs in this one.

the panther defense is not great. I think I would go the safe route in week one with McNabb.

Keep Colston/Housh. How many do you need other than 2 RB and 2 WR? If just one, I would use Chester or Cotchery as flex

I think I would target a cheaper TE than giving Don Brown. Go after Shiancoe or Shockey much cheaply
 
Looking for the flex play. 1 point per 10 yards rushing/receiving 6 points per rushing/receiving.

Options:

Holt

Eddie Royal

Leon Washington

Earl Bennett

Cedric Benson.

I was thinking Leon was probably the best bet. Thoughts?

This is a tough one. I think I would go with Royal or Benson. The Broncos are horrible vs the run and the Bengals are not good against the pass.
 
Jeff Which two rb do you like this weekThomas Jones @ HOULJ @ BalKnowshon Moreno @ CINTim Hightower ve SFChester Taylor @ CELDarran Sproles @ OAK
in order:TJonesChester (with Minny likely blowing out Cleve)LJSprolesHightowerMoreno
Jeff do you still like T JonesChester Taylor
Yes. I do not like LJ, Hightower, or Moreno this week. Sproles might surprise because we really do not know his role .. but the addition of Seymour might make running more difficult.
 
Hey Jeff,

Hope your off-season was good. I am looking for a sounding board here to see if i am crazy.

Considering sitting D.Bowe vs Ravens in favor of L.Moore vs Lions.

Worried about the status of the starting QB for KC not to mention the stingy Ravens secondary.

My opponent has D.Brees which is coloring my thought process, as well. i.e. any L.Moore TD nets me 5 points over my opponent.

Scoring:

1 pt per 10 yd run/catch/pass

10 pt per TD run/catch

05 pt per TD pass

Starters (just for background):

T.Brady

S.Slaton

B.Jacobs

Bowe or Moore

D.Jackson

G.Olsen

I like the move. I know it is risky, but I expect NO to literally score 3x more points than KC
 
Makes me feel good about my last two picks. First off, I think that people bailed on White for pretty dumb reasons. He was a inside beast at USC and landed in a pretty favorable situation. Just because he flunked his pro-day and didn't want to seriously injure his hammy during the combine is no reason to all of a sudden rank him at the bottom of the class, when prior to the rookie workouts there were a lot of people considering him as the second best RB in the class. Every offseason I try to identify some nonsensical groupthought and exploit it. White falling as far he did based on two days of work outs while he was injured is definitely one of them. Then again, I did take a risk by taking two rooks, but I really feel that both will produce, and become really good backs (I've been waiting for DWill to graduate for three years).
hey there, im havin sum wr issues, boldin is a game time an probably wont play. kevin walter (my top reserve wr) is also a game time decision. i have a choice to insert either domenik hixon or pick devery henderson off the waiver and insert him in my lineup against the lions.what should i do?
 
Hi Jeff,

I know you probably won't be able to get to this until a while later, but I figure I'd ask this now anyway.

With McNabb possibly out for 2-4 weeks with a cracked rib, which WW QB should I target at least for next week? Our league has pretty slim pickings at QB: Orton, Collins, Quinn, Bulger, Russell, Croyle.

Thanks

 
Standard scoring (non-ppr) starting 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 2 Flex, K, D.

QB: McNabb

RB: LT2, Jackson, Lynch, Moreno, D Brown, A Bradshaw, L McCoy, J Davis

WR: R White, Colston, B Edwards, D Mason

K: Folk

D: Giants

My team outside of McNabb and Giants D took a giant dump (sans LT who hasn't played). But of course McNabb got injured so I need to pick up a QB.

I'm putting a waiver claim on flacco (dropping davis).

Also with waiver wire WRs such as Michael Clayton, Chansi Stuckey, Mario Manningham, Nate Burleson, Kenny Britt, and Justin Gage being available do you think I should make a move to get one of them? And if so which RB should I drop?

Or should I pick up Mike Bell...I already screwed up once not getting Caddy (got James Davis instead).

Oh Jeff my SAINTS were AMAZING and BREES was just FANTASTIC!!!!

Ok, got my homer enthusiasm out!

Even with AP's incredible day, I am going to lose thanks to some poor WR production.

I need to make some moves:

Here is whats available:

I did drop Hixon for Avery and I was not happy with his production so I do want to dump Avery for one of the guys below along with Derrick Mason as it appears Mark Clayton and Flacco have decided to team up..... As always I await your wisdom!

Justin Gage vs HOU (Like Gage a lot)

Nate Burleson @ SF (Seattle was throwing BIG TIME)

Mark Clayton @ SD

Earl Bennett v PIT (wait & see tonight if he and Cutler re-connect-THEY DID 6-76yds he was targeted the most)

Patrick Crayton (FLUKE-right?)

So, you can be honest as usual and let me know what you think I should or shouldn't do...but AVERY is out for Burleson or Gage in my mind.

I think Clayton got the call this week maybe Mason does next week, on him and the other guys I look forward to hearing what you think.



I have Reggie, so I don't want to consider Devery Henderson, too many Saints.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Would you keep my man Reg, along with AP, Chris Johnson and Moreno?

Are any of the guys below, players you would consider to take Reggie's spot? I only start 2 a week in my PPR league.

Tim Hightower @ JAX- Did what i hoped Bush would have done

Felix Jones v NYG- Got dropped for Mike Bell today....I think its crazy long term, you?

Willis McGahee @ SD

Cedric Benson @ GB

Anyway, going to start Peterson (no doubt) & Chris Johnson v HOU ( likely to get the call over Reggie)

Thanks - Hope you did well today!

I do not belive Caddy will make it through the season. I know White, Colston and Edwards played poorly, but those others (with the exception of Gage) were somewhat fluky. I guess my point is that I would not start any of them over your starters. Plus, you had some bad luck. Edwards had a TD called back. On Mike Bell, I like him ... bu am unsure of his role when Thomas comes back. It is a risk either way ... to drop one of your good backs (that are backups) or to miss out on Bell. The one hesitation on Bell is that he did not see many goal line carries.

dont overreact on Mason/Clayton. The Chiefs were playing a bad corner on Clayton so Flacco kept throwing that direction. Of those WRs, I like Gage the best. He is the Titans' WR1. I would keep Bush for another week at least. Hightower benefited from Breaston out, Boldin hurt, etc. Felix shares way too many carries. Willis and Benson had creampuff matchups.

Campbell looked horrible, so I would consider dropping him for Sanchez ... not Leftwich. If possible, I would consider dropping Ricky and Washington for Manningham and Mike Clayton (there is talk of Bryant have issues with his bad knee). My thinking is that you can get a backup for Romo later as long as there are some on the waiver wire.

just read where Romo thinks the ankle he tweaked will not be an issue. Keep an eye on that if dropping Campbell for a WR
 
I am up 5 points in my week 1 game going into the 2 Monday Night games.

My Opponent has Philip Rivers, and I have Nate Kaeding and a flex spot. In the Flex spot, I can either start Vincent Jackson or Fred Jackson.

Assuming Kaeding has at least 6 points, just need my flex spot to be within 11 points of Rivers.

If Rivers goes off for 20+ points, then Vincent Jackson will probably also have a big night, right?

On average, Fred Jackson is probably a better play, but I am concerned that Bills are going to be completely blown out by the Patriots and will abandon the run early.

Edit: No PPR, 6 pts rush/receiving TD, 4 pts passing TD

I think I would go with VJax. It is risky, but I would prefer this route to relying on a Buff RB to keep up with Rivers.
 
Wow Jeff, I am surprised that you left your boy Avery so quickly. so why do

you like Gage more than Burleson?
I like Avery a lot, but you do not. No big deal. Burleson will be streaky. Look at what gage did against the Steelers while Burleson did against the lowly Rams. Yes, Burleson may surpass him some weeks, but Gage looked good Thurs night. I still like Avery. Bulger stinks though

We agree on Avery, now I see we do on Bulger as well. I may stick with Avery another week bc of your record and give Avery another wek. If after that there is no improvement then if Gage is there I'll grab him. Thanks Jeff!

I like ward over edwards. I woudl start with bradshaw for ward and see what he says. Don't give up on mason too quickly. The ravens went to clayton because he was being guarded by a chump corner and they were picking on him. wont be that way every game
 
Hi Jeff,

I know you probably won't be able to get to this until a while later, but I figure I'd ask this now anyway.

With McNabb possibly out for 2-4 weeks with a cracked rib, which WW QB should I target at least for next week? Our league has pretty slim pickings at QB: Orton, Collins, Quinn, Bulger, Russell, Croyle.

Thanks
Check the schedule, but I would expect Orton or Collins to easily be the best bet. Kolb is not very good for Philly. I have not looked at the matchups, but Orton could rebound and Collins will at least be average. The others are horrible
Yeah, they're pretty horrible. A lot of owners picked up a 2nd and even 3rd (?!) QB while I just missed out on Hasselbeck in the later rounds. The waiver wire crop is pretty thin.Orton: CLE, @OAK, DAL, NE, @SD

Collins: HOU, @NYJ, @JAC, IND, @NE

Both start out with okay matchups.

Do you think Garcia is a viable option on the off-chance he gets the nod over Kolb? He knows the offense, and the Eagles receivers can make his little dinks and dunks into good YAC.

Garcia: NO, KC, BYE, TB, @OAK

This is the juiciest schedule by far, and it's killing me that McNabb isn't there to take advantage of it.

Tough situation. I think McNabb will be back week 3 or week 4. They say it is a pain tolerance issue. I would not be afraid of Collins this week if Philly is a mess. Right now, it is tough to know whether Kolb or Garcia would be the starter. Houston allowed a decent game to Sanchez in week one.
 
Okay. Thanks. I'm just worried the Titans will run the ball all game long. I guess I should keep an eye on the situation in Philly, as well.

 
Decided to try and make this as easy as possible for your benefit....you get so many questions!



These are the WR's available on the WW:

Manninham

Nate Burleson

Gage

Earl Bennett

Devery Henderson



Thanks for the help as ALWAYS!!!



PPR LEAGUE

 
I'm thinking of trading Adrian Peterson. Not because I don't think he'll be any good. It's just that I think his value is at his absolute peak - had an amazing game his first week.

16 team dynasty league. This trade would help out with my RB depth and upgrade my QB position as well as help me out in the future with the rookie picks.

What if I offered:

Adrian Peterson

Warner

Chambers

one of my safeties - he needs one because Polamanu is out

for

Drew Brees

Steven Jackson

Beanie Wells

2010 1st rd and 2nd rd rookie picks

2011 1st rd and 2nd rd rookie picks

What does you think? Everyone says AD is untradable but what if in this scenario? Shoot high right? Leave Leinart out of the deal?

My team:

QB:

Warner/Leinart/Stafford/Vince Young/McGee/Troy Smith

RB:

Maroney/AD/Pierre Thomas/Deangelo

WR:

Avery/Burton/DHB/Chambers/S Holmes/J Morgan/Nelson/Royal

TE:

Daniels/M Lewis/Cottam

DL

DT: Hovan/S Rogers/Robbins

DE: Abiamiri/J Anderson/Brock/J Parker/Vanden Bosch

LB:

Boley/Burnett/Dansby/Durant/Hayes/J Mays/McIntosh

DB:

S: Atogwe/Griffin/Hope/W Moore

CB:Hayden/Lucas/Springs/Lowery

His team:

QB: Brees/Nate Davis/Henne/Pennington

RB: Steven Jackson/Leonard/W Parker/Sproles/C Wells

WR: Michael Clayton/Crayton/Ginn/S Moss/Randle El/Schilens/Stuckey/B Tate/N Washington

TE: Mcmichael/Scaife/M Rucker/K Winslow/B Watson

DL:

DT: S Ellis/Montgomery/Clifton Ryan

DE: C Campbell/E Hood/ Kiwanuka/J Peppers

LB: Brooking/Curry/Ghoston/Haralson/Merriman/Vrabel/Witherspoon

DB:

S: M Mitchell/Polamanu/Weddle/Zbikowski

CB: D Hall/A Henry/J Joseph

Another possibility is trading Adrian Peterson to another team. That team has Rodgers, Forte, Boldin, M Lynch + draft picks.

 
Hi first time question.

In one of my leagues I drafted w/o knowing that return yards would be 15yd/pt which is ridiculous. Yahoo has Josh Cribbs as a top WR because of this and hes available. Who do I drop to pick up Cribbs? .5 PPR. I pretty much have to pick up Cribbs too right? Andre Caldwell is also available.

J Morgan - SF

N Burleson - SEA

C Henry - CIN

It's a 2 RB/3WR/1Flex league. I'm considering dropping Morgan & Henry for both Cribbs & Caldwell as they will easily have more return yards this season (plus possibility of a TD every few games as WRs) than Morgan/Henry will receiving yards + slightly more TDs.

Ted Ginn also on the waivers at the moment. I have E Royal & D Hester + Welker & White already.

Thanks!

I'm thinking of trading Adrian Peterson. Not because I don't think he'll be any good. It's just that I think his value is at his absolute peak - had an amazing game his first week.16 team dynasty league. This trade would help out with my RB depth and upgrade my QB position as well as help me out in the future with the rookie picks.What if I offered:Adrian PetersonWarnerChambersone of my safeties - he needs one because Polamanu is outforDrew BreesSteven JacksonBeanie Wells2010 1st rd and 2nd rd rookie picks2011 1st rd and 2nd rd rookie picksWhat does you think? Everyone says AD is untradable but what if in this scenario? Shoot high right? Leave Leinart out of the deal?My team:QB:Warner/Leinart/Stafford/Vince Young/McGee/Troy SmithRB:Maroney/AD/Pierre Thomas/DeangeloWR:Avery/Burton/DHB/Chambers/S Holmes/J Morgan/Nelson/RoyalTE:Daniels/M Lewis/CottamDLDT: Hovan/S Rogers/RobbinsDE: Abiamiri/J Anderson/Brock/J Parker/Vanden BoschLB:Boley/Burnett/Dansby/Durant/Hayes/J Mays/McIntoshDB:S: Atogwe/Griffin/Hope/W MooreCB:Hayden/Lucas/Springs/LoweryHis team:QB: Brees/Nate Davis/Henne/PenningtonRB: Steven Jackson/Leonard/W Parker/Sproles/C WellsWR: Michael Clayton/Crayton/Ginn/S Moss/Randle El/Schilens/Stuckey/B Tate/N WashingtonTE: Mcmichael/Scaife/M Rucker/K Winslow/B WatsonDL:DT: S Ellis/Montgomery/Clifton RyanDE: C Campbell/E Hood/ Kiwanuka/J PeppersLB: Brooking/Curry/Ghoston/Haralson/Merriman/Vrabel/WitherspoonDB:S: M Mitchell/Polamanu/Weddle/ZbikowskiCB: D Hall/A Henry/J JosephAnother possibility is trading Adrian Peterson to another team. That team has Rodgers, Forte, Boldin, M Lynch + draft picks.
I like this deal. I would definitely keep Leinart since he could give you another starter by midseason. It is tough to give up ona tru stud. The only worry is the Ram offense (SJax). Can they get him enough holes? But, in a 16 teamer, I would look to upgrade QB. Also, picking up Brunell to 'cuff Brees is not a bad play in big leagues.

Hi first time question.In one of my leagues I drafted w/o knowing that return yards would be 15yd/pt which is ridiculous. Yahoo has Josh Cribbs as a top WR because of this and hes available. Who do I drop to pick up Cribbs? .5 PPR. I pretty much have to pick up Cribbs too right? Andre Caldwell is also available.J Morgan - SFN Burleson - SEAC Henry - CINIt's a 2 RB/3WR/1Flex league. I'm considering dropping Morgan & Henry for both Cribbs & Caldwell as they will easily have more return yards this season (plus possibility of a TD every few games as WRs) than Morgan/Henry will receiving yards + slightly more TDs.Ted Ginn also on the waivers at the moment. I have E Royal & D Hester + Welker & White already.Thanks!
I would wait a week on Caldwell. For Cribbs, many weeks, he will have fewer than 100 return yards meaning seven points. He is not involved much on offense. If you are picking him up, I would drop Burleson. Two RBs I would look to target are Leon Washington and Sproles. They are involved enough on offense to be awesome in this league. Hester helps some, too.
 
12 team H2H league

Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 DEF, 1 K

QB: Garrard, Sanchez

RB: A. Peterson, R. Brown, W. Parker, Moreno, C. Taylor

TE: Witten

WR: R. Wayne, Housh, Hester, Avery, C. Henry

K: Rackers DEF: GB

Possible Waiver wire adds include: Micheal Clayton(TB), M. Bush(Oak), Laurent Robinson, Louis Murphy, C. Stuckey, R. Meachem.

I am thinking of dropping Taylor and C. Henry for Bush and Clayton. We have limited roster space in this league and I know nobody will pick up C. Taylor if I drop him. What do you think, should I give up on Henry already?

 
Hi Jeff,

Drop CHenry for Caddy?

A 10-team non ppr with a small bench. Team is in my sig.
