Hi Jeff,Drop CHenry for Caddy?A 10-team non ppr with a small bench. Team is in my sig.

yes I would do that. I doubt you ever would start Henry with the waiver pool so large

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

12 team H2H leagueStart 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 DEF, 1 KQB: Garrard, SanchezRB: A. Peterson, R. Brown, W. Parker, Moreno, C. TaylorTE: WittenWR: R. Wayne, Housh, Hester, Avery, C. HenryK: Rackers DEF: GBPossible 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?

I would dump Henry for Bush and stay there. No way would I dump Chester. ADP may not make it all 16 games and you need the insurance, imo.

12 team redraft 1 PPR for everyone.

I am a bit hesitant to do this, so I have come here for advice. The league is start qb, 2 rbs and 3 wrs, TE, 1 PPR.

I give up Ryan Grant

I get Roddy White

My team pre trade:

QB: Hassel, Edwards

RB:Steven Jackson, Ryan Grant, LJ, Moreno, McGahee, Caddy

WR: Colston, Jennings, Mason, Avery, Burleson

TE: Gates

I would then have a great WR corps:

Colston

Jennings

White

RBs wouldn't be great but still serviceable:

Sjax

LJ

McGahee

Moreno

Caddy

I dont think I want to do it. I'm 0-1, but scored middle of the pack. Thoughts?

you had some bad weeks from top players, so making this move might be an overreaction. White did not have a good game either. Even though I like White more than Grant, you probably need to hold tight on this deal. Mason and Avery are better starters than LJ and Willis most weeks.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Hey, you have a very good team. It looks like your best players laid an egg in week one. You had Pierre out, and Slaton/SJax having off weeks. I would drop Henry and Graham for Leon and Caddy. I do like Graham, but he is RB3 in Tampa now. Your QBs will be ok, so I would not sweat Sanchez. You shoudl be ok, just need SJax/Slaton to rebound. Good luck. Jeff

12 team, no PPR league. Have a couple questions:

RB start 2 (25ppy, 6TD):

Westbrook vs Saints

K. Smith vs Vikings

R. Grant vs Bengals

M. Bell @ Eagles

I'm leaning towards Westy & Grant

TE start 1 (10ppy, 6TD)

T. Heap @ Chargers

K. Winsolw @ Bills.

No idea on this one. Do you think that Heap will bounce back from the past few mediocre years?

Thanks!

I would go with Westbrook and Grant. The other two have rough matchups. Just playing the odds on this one. At tight end, I would go with Winslow for one reason. The way the Bills allowed Ben Watson to run free last night should give hope for Winsow.

Standard scoring (non-ppr) starting 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 2 Flex, K, D.QB: McNabbRB: LT2, Jackson, Lynch, Moreno, D Brown, A Bradshaw, L McCoy, J DavisWR: R White, Colston, B Edwards, D MasonK: FolkD: GiantsMy 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).

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.

Good point...I'm looked at rosters and I see a possible trade with the Jacobs owners.His team:Rodgers, CasselForte, B Jacobs, Bush, Buckhalter, GrahamJennings, TJ Housh, D Jackson, Ward, Coles, CraytonBironasMiami DWhat do you think I could get offering Mason and Bradshaw? Or should I offer Edwards?

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

thanks for the help as always Jeff!Do you think I should offer this instead:LT (rd 1) and Mason (rd 10)Jacobs (rd 2) and Ward (rd 7)he drafted 5th overall

Do I trade Bell for Gage or Evans? Or try to get P.Thomas for ...Washington or Royal.

Obvious weakness at WR. Manningham and Bruce is available, do I drop someone for either?(I was waiting just a little longer on Crabtree)

Coffee was dropped. Graham for Coffee?? Or should I look for a bye week fill for TE or Def, kicker bye is 5, TE 6, Def 7

Jeff - my team is set except for my lowly kicker... lol. But you never know when a few points will win the week.

12-man league, 3 pts per, 4 pts over 40.

I have K. Brown from Houston (last pick of my draft) but their offense is looking anemic...

on the wire:

Hauschka BAL at Chargers

Dawson CLE at Broncos

Janikowski OAK at Chiefs

Mare SEA at 49ers

Any thoughts?

thanks

 

[RaiderBones]

Jeff, out of these WR's which 2 would you start this week?

Non PPR, .1 point per yard, 6pts TD

Braylon Edwards

Hey, I would only look at dropping Graham (whom I like for end of year but it looks like caddy show now) for a WR. I would keep Bell and just drop Graham for a WR. The WR I would look for is Schilens if available. If not, I like Manningham with Nicks out a few weeks. Schilens will be back from injury in a coupld of weeks (before you need him to cover byes). Keep Crabtree another week. It looks as though Morgan will surpass Bruce this week or next so leave him be. Good luck

Of that group, I love Santana this week. Never know with him, but it has the feel for one of his big games against the lowly Rams. For the other spot, it comes down to Smith vs Edwards. Given non-PPR, I would roll with Braylon. He has a better shot at a TD. SMith will get catches and yards vs Dallas, but I think Edwards may find the endzone this week. I will say that the Denver secondary played well last week vs Cincy. Smith is the safer play with Edwards the better shot at having a 12+ point game.

DO I TRADE RAY RICE FOR VINCENT JACKSON?

I think I would go with Seattle this week and hope Shaun Hill melts down. Rice for VJax is very close for me. I think I would wait to see how Boldin's injury is before hitting accept. But, if you lost in week one, I would think about making the move. Also, I would drop the extra defense for a RB (if you do the trade) or a WR (if not)

 

[tate516]

Ok gonna drop Avery for Gage but I am nervous about starting 2 Titans this week. I figured that you will advise me to start APeterson and Chris Johnson over Reggie Bush & Moreno this week.

But I guess Tenn has a good matchup this week so I will wait again on Bate Burleson/Devery Henderson/Earl Bennett and the others.....

As always

thanks Jeff

Mike Bush (Really like this guy)

Cedric Benson

 

[QuizGuy66]

As an owner of MJD, I am a little nervous about also starting Garrard in any given week - Jacksonville is not exactly a juggernaut. I was contemplating picking up Flacco or Trent Edwards instead - both of these guys are pretty young and have room to grow and also seemed to do well last week. Does this seem like the right play? To cut Garrard and pick up one of these guys (it's an 8-teamer so there's lots of QBs available. I'm the McNabb owner).

Oh - all pass TDs are 5, rush TDs are 6, INTs are -1, starting with the 2nd interception.

Thx

keep moreno for now. Bush is mcfadden's backup. Benson is in cincy (nuff said) and jackson should be awesome for 2 mroe games until lynch comes back. if you need a 2-week starter grab FJax.

I am not an edwards fan at all. I kept waiting for him to throw the ball down the field to TO or evans and all he did was dump the ball off. Flacco vs Garrard is one i would give one more week to see how the dust settles. I think garrard bounces back this week.

How do you like my 5 WR lineup:

Calvin Johnson

Roddy White

Jerricho Cotchery

Derrick Mason

Justin Gage

On the WW and receiving a lot of WW attention on numerous sites are:

Nate Burleson (especially w/Branch no where near 100%)

Mark Clayton (surpassing Mason as #1 bc of his youth & speed--talking about Mark & Heap getting Flaco's attention)

Earl Bennett (Cutler's college BFF & most targeted last week)

I feel good with Gage, Mason I am on the wire about. Something keeps drawing my attention back to Burleson.

The smart move is to sit on Mason for now, right?

Hi Jeff – Is starting AP and Chester Taylor worthwhile?

12-team NON-ppr redraft league. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 WR/RB Flex, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF. 16 player roster.

Passing TDs = 4 pts, all others 6 pts. 1 pt for 10 yards rushing and receiving, 25 yards passing.

My Team:

QB: Garrard, Leinart, Shaun Hill

RB: AP, Ronnie Brown, Addai, Lynch, Chester Taylor

WR: Roddy White, Braylon Edwards, Berrian, Schilens

TE: Zach Miller

DEF: Phil, GB

K: Elam

Today Mark Wimer’s “Rushing Matchups” shows Indy with a solid RBBC at 63%/37% Addai/Brown, and a “Bad Matchup” at Miami.

He also shows the Vikings at Lions as a “Great Matchup”, and Miami vs Indy as a “Good Matchup”.

Using that logic, AP and Ronnie Brown are 2 of my three. Now, instead of Addai, I’m wondering if Chester Taylor might be a worthwhile shot?

Chet only got 2 pts last week, while Addai with his TD scored 12 for me. So it’s a gamble to go with Taylor over Addai.

Lineup Dominator shows the three about even…11 projected for Brown and Addai, and 9 for Taylor.

Strange that the “Matchups” article shows such a potentially bad day for the Indy RB’s, and yet LD shows Addai with about what he scored last week?

Anything in the history files about how well starting two RBs from one team works out?

Thanks!

I would start both. I do like Chester very much this week. If Minny gets up on the lowly Lions, they will look to run a lot (and rest ADP). I am starting Chester in a league because I think he will be quietly productive. For your flex spot, I would start Taylor over Berrian. Yes, Berrian could get a long one. But, I think Minny will see that Mike Bell ran for 145 yards last week against the Lions and try to run for 200-250 this week.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

which two rb do you like this weekT Jones vs NESproles vs BALC Taylor vs DETL Johnson vs OAK K Moreno vs CLEHightower @ JAX

I would start Larry Johnson for sure. The Chiefs will need to run the ball this week. Chester vs TJones vs Hightower is tough. Hightower only benefits if the AZ WRs are out. He got all of those catches because Breaston was out and Boldin limited. If it is the same this week, TH could be a good play. As with the post above, I think Chester is a good start this week. The Vikes will look to run often against Detroit. Jones was merely average last week before breaking the two long runs. He would be my third choice for RB2.

Hi Jeff – Is starting AP and Chester Taylor worthwhile? 12-team NON-ppr redraft league. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 WR/RB Flex, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF. 16 player roster. Passing TDs = 4 pts, all others 6 pts. 1 pt for 10 yards rushing and receiving, 25 yards passing.My Team:QB: Garrard, Leinart, Shaun HillRB: AP, Ronnie Brown, Addai, Lynch, Chester Taylor WR: Roddy White, Braylon Edwards, Berrian, SchilensTE: Zach Miller DEF: Phil, GBK: ElamToday Mark Wimer’s “Rushing Matchups” shows Indy with a solid RBBC at 63%/37% Addai/Brown, and a “Bad Matchup” at Miami. He also shows the Vikings at Lions as a “Great Matchup”, and Miami vs Indy as a “Good Matchup”.Using that logic, AP and Ronnie Brown are 2 of my three. Now, instead of Addai, I’m wondering if Chester Taylor might be a worthwhile shot? Chet only got 2 pts last week, while Addai with his TD scored 12 for me. So it’s a gamble to go with Taylor over Addai.Lineup Dominator shows the three about even…11 projected for Brown and Addai, and 9 for Taylor. Strange that the “Matchups” article shows such a potentially bad day for the Indy RB’s, and yet LD shows Addai with about what he scored last week?Anything in the history files about how well starting two RBs from one team works out?Thanks!

I would start both. I do like Chester very much this week. If Minny gets up on the lowly Lions, they will look to run a lot (and rest ADP). I am starting Chester in a league because I think he will be quietly productive. For your flex spot, I would start Taylor over Berrian. Yes, Berrian could get a long one. But, I think Minny will see that Mike Bell ran for 145 yards last week against the Lions and try to run for 200-250 this week.

Hi Jeff. I think you answered my queston, but I wanted to be sure. In our league we can start 3 RBs (one as the flex), so the question really is Taylor over Addai rather than Taylor over Berrian. But it sounds like Minny potentially running the ball all over the ballyard means Taylor is also the choice over Addai as well as over Berrian. Correct? Thx again.

Yes, I would risk it with Chester. Addai will face a tough Dolphin defense this week. They held Turner in check last week.

HI Jeff, just one small question. In a PPR League who would you start?

Thomas Jones v.s. NE

Matt Forte v.s. Pitt

Tim HIghtower v.s. Jacksonville

Rickey Williams v.s. IND

I'm leaning towards Forte but he had a BAD game against Green Bay on Monday night and Pittsburgh's D is better even without Polomalu. Thanks for your help as always.

I would start Forte over Ricky and Jones every week without regard to matchup. The only circumstance I would start Hightower over him is if Breaston is still out( which is likely) and Boldin limited (do not know yet). This is why he had so many targets last week. The 49ers were not letting Fitz get deep (with double coverage) and so Warner was checking down to Hightwoer. I would lean Forte unless you see something on Boldin/Breaston.

Jeff, thanks again for doing all of this.

My dilemma is one of too few WR's and with Mcnabb going down, the necessity for a 2nd QB has made my lineup rather unpalatable for next week.

Relevant Roster:

QB: Garrard, Mcnabb

RB: Peterson, Jackson, Bradshaw, Ward, Lynch

WR: White, Smith (Car), Bryant (TB)

DST: Chargers, Eagles

As you can see I have 5 RB's, all of which I personally like quite a bit. However, there are rumblings that Bryant might miss next Sunday, and even if he doesn't, I'm not comfortable with him.

So the question is:

Do I drop Bryant and pick up another WR?

Do I drop a RB? Say Bradshaw given my depth, and pick up another WR?

Roll with Bryant?

Here are some WR's available to me, of them, I'm eyeing Laurent Robinson the closest.

Stokley, Brandon WR DEN

Stuckey, Chansi WR NYJ

Manningham, Mario WR NYG

Meachem, Robert WR NO

Britt, Kenny WR TEN

Knox, Johnny WR CHI

Robinson, Laurent WR STL

Bradley, Mark WR KC

Bruce, Isaac WR SF

Urban, Jerheme WR ARI

Bess, Davone WR MIA

Caldwell, Andre WR CIN

Your thoughts/time are very much appreciated.

P.S -- White and Smith have the same bye (4), so I'd prefer a WR that I can keep until then, but matchup based plays ala Bruce work too

Can you drop one of the defenses instead of Bryant or a RB? I like Stuckey and Robinson the best. Manningham is a good play, too, with Nicks out for the next few weeks. If not, I might dump Ward over Bradshaw. The only reasoning is that if/when Jacobs misses time, Bradshaw will be an every week starter.

I listed those 3 kickers to show you my options. I have Carney because I want part of the Saints offense, I planned on keeping him until Hartley gets back.

Just wanted to know whether or not you think Prater is a great deal better and I should drop Carney for him.

THANKS for all of the starting advice this week.

I read where you told one guy to hold onto Chester Taylor, he is available in my league is he a must have back up for AP?

The only guy I can consider dropping to have him sit my bench is Moreno. Just wondering where you stood on that subject.

Garrard. I do not like Rivers vs Baltimore. He might do well, but it will not be easy at all. At RB, SJax is easy. The others are difficult. I dont love Benson or Slaton this week, but I think you go with them. Hester has a rough matchup. Royal and Denver need to get their act together. I love Leon Washington, but he will have to break a long one to score. I hesitantly say Benson and Slaton. Just one of those weeks where everyone has a bad matchup. Then there are weeks where you have more good options than starters. Good luck.

Do you think that would be the best play?My hesitance is that the Eagles looked flat out dominant, so I am worried about dropping them, but they play NO in week #2 and without Mcnabb, I can see them seeing the field quite often.Conversely, the Chargers looked pedestrian, but they play Baltimore this week.I also lost last week, which just flat out isn't fair given that I actually had a pretty good point total With an assumed loss in week #4 due to byes, losing week #2 would set me at a predicted 1-3 at the end of week 4, which is a bit disconcerting.Do you think dropping SD is the move, and picking up a WR?Thanks again.
