Jeff.I have a waiver question for you. I am in a PPR league, with NO trades. I have as WR's A. Johnson, D. Bowe, Justin Gage, Devin Hester, S. Breaston, Michael Jenkins, and Donnie Avery. Mike Sims-Walker and Johnny Knox are both available on the waiver wire, and I am thinking about picking one of them up in the order listed above, and dropping a WR. 1) Is that a good idea? and 2) Should I plan on dropping Avery or Jenkins, I was leaning toward Jenkins, but what do you think? I prefer Sims-Walker and would think about putting him in as a WR3 this week, smart idea or too risky?Waiver drops at 3AM tonight...ThanksScott aka PYRO boy

Hey Scott, sorry I had already hit the sack. Had an early morning. I would definitely dump Jenkins for either of those WRs.

Jeff,

Still working on a deal for Fitz, this is the latest offer I received PPR Dynasty:

Give- R. Brown, Hester, Sims-Walker and my late 1st round pick (1.9 - 1.12)

Get- Fitz, McClain and Tate

*** similar to a previous offer you said to stay put, this is giving Hester & Sims-Walker instead of Cotchery***

Do you think I'm better off or not?

My RB's and WR's:

Benson, Cedric CIN RB

Bradshaw, Ahmad NYG RB

Brown, Ronnie MIA RB

Hillis, Peyton DEN RB

Jackson, Brandon GBP RB

Peterson, Adrian MIN RB

Rice, Ray BAL RB

Ringer, Javon TEN RB

Williams, Carnell TBB RB

Clayton, Mark BAL WR

Cotchery, Jerricho NYJ WR

Dillard, Jarett JAC WR

Driver, Donald GBP WR

Gage, Justin TEN WR

Hester, Devin CHI WR

Johnson, Andre HOU WR

Nicks, Hakeem NYG WR

Sims-Walker, Mike JAC WR

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

I like it much better. Cotch>Hester/MSW. Also, I like getting Tate back in the deal. It might take him a year to make an impact, but he could be special. Also, this way, the only starter you are replacing is Brown and Fitz should outpace him in PPR.

[Corey's Carnage]

Well, I have a bit of a decision to make.

I need 2 RB's (no PPR, 6pts TD, 1 pnt per 25 yds)

R. Grant

Westbrook

K. Smith

I hear Westbrook might actually only get 1/2 the carries, even though he's "always hurt" and racks up 150 yards ever time....

And Smith against the Skins?

I'm starting Grant, but which of the other two do you think?

Also, need 2 WR (no PPR, 6pts TD, 1 pnt per 20 yds)

Ochocinco

Roy Williams

Fitzgerald

Ginn Jr

Thanks!

 

[dmac37]

He is offering R. Bardon NYG WR. Having 2nd thoughts wondering if my depth at Wr (must start 3) takes too big of a hit?

At WR, I think you start Fitz and Chad. I could not imagine starting Ginn and ROy has disappointed while Chad played well. At RB, this one is tougher. I think Westbrook (as long as he plays and does not have a setback) is the better play. He should have a better shot than Smith at >100 yds and TD. I like Smith a ton, but Washington is great against the run.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

your WRs will be fine with AJ. Fitz, Cotch and Driver ... add in Gage and you will be in great shape at WR. I think you would be in great situation long term.

Had to delete our previous discussion....My team (start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 2 Flex, K, D with standard scoring-non ppr):McNabb, T EdwardsLT, SJax, Lynch, Moreno, D Brown, L McCoyR White, M Colston, B Edwards, H Ward, D MasonFolkGiants DI was attempting to get Manningham, Robinson, or Sims-Walker in waivers and/or trade for Fred Jackson.Unfortuantely I wasn't able to get any of my waiver wire targets, and my last offer of Mason and Brown for Fred Jackson and his worst WR was rejected. I think I've given up getting Jackson as I've reached the point that I'm not willing to offer any more for Fred Jackson. I don't care about Mason, in fact I plan to drop him, but anything else he would want (McCoy or Ward) would be too much for me to give up IMO.However, Earl Bennett was dropped and Johnny Knox, Julian Edelman, Chansi Stuckey, Donald Avery, Brandon Stokley, Justin Gage, Ricky Williams, and Michael Bush are all available.I'm starting SJax, Moreno, R White, Colston, and H Ward. But unsure on my two flex spots (current bench options B Edwards, D Mason, D Brown, L McCoy).Do you think any of the FAs listed above would be better starts than my four options? I'm not sure of all these options which two I should start this week.Thanks for the help!

Avery and Bush are intriguing with upside, but I do not know if I would drop any of your current guys, esp since you need them to start/flex. I would make the moves if for bench/depth, but not since needed to start.

Do you think I should try to move LT or stick with it? I'm currently 1-1.

I would keep LT unless you can get something decent for him. He will be back soon enough and I do not know if you can gt anything decent for him.

I would start Peyton in what could be a shootout. At RB, I would start ADP each and every week. At RB2, I think it would be tough to sit Johnson after last week, but the other two are good options. I like all three choices and it is a tough call. At WR, I think you start Calvin, Manningham, and White. Cotchery and Mason have tougher matchups and the Falcons will throw to keep up with NE. At TE, both are good options. Hard not to go with Celek this week. I would lean toward him vs KC after Kolb hitting him for 100 yards last week. I like Carney and Minny at kicker/defense.

 

[mysticknight232]

Good morning!

Looking for help w/ the Dallas RB situation. I read MB3 practiced and is looking to play Monday night. I've got a couple days yet, but at this point, do you think i should start MB3 or Felix Jones for my RB2 position this week? I've also got Leon Washingont as a backup, but i think i would run Felix Jones out before Leon given Jones' big play ability.

Thoughts on the Dallas RB situation at this point?

Thanks!

I doubt MB3 plays so I think you will be good with Jones. The Panthers are beat up on D-Line so the Cowboys should be able to run well/often. I love Leon, but this is a tough matchup this week.

I know Bush has a great matchup, but he scares me ... so he is last. Hard to rely on him when others have great matchups. I like Hightower, but he will split time and never know how many receptions he will get now that the WRs are back healthy. So, I would go with the best player of the three and hope Johnson goes bonkers again. In all reality, if he breaks a long one, you would be happy. I know the Jets have a strong defense, but I think you have to start him.

 

[rascal]

Jeff,

Need some help to pick my starters (standard scoring with no ppr)

I'm starting T Edwards, S Jax, Moreno (although apparently he missed practice today...and now listed as questionable), R White, Colston, Ward, and Edwards as flex #1.

I need help on deciding who to start at flex #2. Obviously if Westbrook is out I will start Lesean McCoy, but assuming Westbrook plays who do you recommend I start?

Derrick Mason, Donald Brown, Lesean McCoy are currently on my bench

or waiver wire options such as Nate Burleson, Earl Bennett, Johnny Knox, Julian Edelman, Chansi Stuckey, Donald Avery, Brandon Stokley, Justin Gage, Ricky Williams, and Michael Bush.

And now with Moreno injured, who would be your second option?

Thanks!

***edited due to Moreno injury update

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

WCOFF scoring with PPR league...starting Jacobs, Brown, DeJax, Smith NYG and Manningham, and Gates

I like both of these matchups, just cant decide who is the weaker matchup. Hightower should do very well vs IND's weak run DEF, while Cooley could get 10 recs and 2 TDs vs the Lions who are one of the worst in the NFL in pts given to the TE position. I'm leaning towards Cooley only because this might be the week that IND steps up the run DEF and also because Wells may step it up too, cutting into Hightowers points. I think Cooley is the better option by a little, just not sure.

...thoughts ???? thanks

 

[tally]

Hi Jeff,

I've ended up with a horde of WRs. Two questions regarding them (standard scoring league, plus 1/25 return yards which don't matter in this case, start 2 WRs):

1. I'm trying to swing a trade for Brady, and it looks like I may have to give up Wayne or VJax as part of the deal. Which is more expendable? My WRs on the bench are Smith and Manningham both of NYG. Do you see either one filling in enough to weather the loss of Wayne or VJax? Knox and Burleson are also available on FA.

2. I really like NYG's matchup against TB and am tempted to start either Smith or Manningham over Wayne (@ARI) or VJax (vs. MIA) this week. I have no idea which one will end up being the benefactor of the matchup. Do I just stick with my studs?

Your insight is helpful and appreciated as always.

Thanks.

 

[bighead2000]

Benson or Pierre Thomas this week?

Have Rivers or Garrard. Would u pick up T. Edwards....somone dropped. Only start 1

Thanks Jeff

Both Wayne and VJax would be expendable to upgrade QB. I think I might keep Wayne. He is a personal fave. With Smith and Manningham, you should be fine. I think VJax should have a big week with LT out and Miami coming off giving up a big game to Indy on MNF. I would have a tough time sitting Wayne, even to Manningham with a good matchup. Just a tough one, hard to guess right

I would take Cooley because TEs have done OK versus Detroit this year. Shockey had two TDs in week one, and Shiancoe scored last week.

I would not plan on starting Moreno. He has been splitting time with Buckhalter. I also think Westbrook starts. I do not yet know on Welker, but if he is out (after not practicing last few days) Edelman is a great start. Knox could have another big week vs Seattle. I think i would run with Mason as one flex. If Welker sits, go with Edelman. If not, DBrown should be ok.

Hey Jeff,

rough couple of weeks for my team. Suddenly doubting everything since TDs are suddenly at a premium to players to whom it was automatic last year. ACK!

Anyhow, we have 1 pt per 10 yd run,catch,pass. 5 pts per TD pass, 10 pt per TD run/catch.

Brady / Garrard

Jacobs / Slaton / McFadden / M.Bush

D.Bowe / D.Jackson / M.Manningham / L.Robinson

G.Olsen / T.Heap

N.Folk

Ravens

Worried about the WR injuries (welker and now moss!) and how that will affect Brady. Should I be?

Seems like Jacobs and Slaton are the obvious starters at RB.

Both Bowe and Jackson are hurt, should I roll with the youngsters Mario and Laurent? or some combo? Fear that Jackson re-aggravates groin and they shut him down. Heck they just might with next week's bye. And what is the word on Bowe? Sportsline says knee and also says hamstring. typical.

anyhow, any feedback is appreciated.

PS.. ended up rolling with Lance Moore (in week 1) to try and counter my opponent's Brees start. Didn't quite work out.

so it goes....

10 yds=1pt all tds 6, non pprNeed some #3 WR help. I have to choose 1:Wade, Bennett, Clayton (TB), or Galloway. Leaning towards Wade with Bowe hurting, but then everyone's hurting this week. I got burned w/ Clayton last week.HELP!!

wade or clayton. clayton is viable only because bryant, stovall and others hurting in TB. But, I think I would roll with Wade. The Chiefs should be down early, throwing often

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

trade slaton for vjax?my league rules and roster are below. my wr are hurting a bit.also, which 2 rb do i start week 3???

I like VJax ok, but I would give Slaton another week. He has a much better matchup this week after starting the yr versus the Jets and Titans. I would roll with Chris Johnson and Felix Jones. But all three (not Rice) are good options.

Brady should be ok. He was decent last week against a much tougher Jet defense. This has the smell of a shootout tomorrow. I like Jacobs and Slaton this week, esp Jacobs this week against a soft defense. At WR, I think you start Manningham regardless of the others. He is the hottest WR in fantasy football right now. I would prefer Bowe, but go with Jackson if Bowe seems to be limited. The Chiefs will be throwing a ton to catch up. Robinson is not a bad worst case option, but would go with Bowe or DeSean if not hurting too much.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

hey everybody, I will be around until about midnight est, then none tomorrow morning. I hope everyone has a great game tomorrow. Also, hearing that MB3 and Welker are not expected to play Sunday, but Moss is .. at least that is how it is now. One more thing, the weather in NE for ATL/NE game is supposed to be bad.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

heading to bed after a long day. good luck tomorrow

 

[Cabby]

Hey Jeff

Standard scoring 6 pts for all td's

Garrard or Edwards at QB? I have Edwards penciled in now.

Thinking of sitting Housh and going with R. Wayne, Hester and Laurent Robinson. What do you think?

Thanks

 

[Chief]

Thanks, Jeff. Just need to find early word on the injury report this morning

I have ATL as one of my def in on league and ARI in another

Which Def would you pick up off WW for both my teams

WW Def rank them

DAL.

NYJ

IND

CIN

BUF

SF

Also i have Z Miller should i drop him for G Olsen

one more should i drop J Gage or A Miles for Mike Wallace

 

[rascal]

jeff,

I got absolutely destroyed this week as I: 1) benched Moreno because he was injured, 2) picked up Eldeman (dropped Derrick Mason) and started him over Brown and 3) because Roddy White and Braylon Edwards continue to suck it up. As such I fell to 1-2.

I can't help #1 as I made the right play, and #2 was probably overreacting to last weeks numbers. Either way I'll be dropping Eldeman for waiver wire help (Earl Bennett, Coffee, Burleson, or others).

However, the performance of White and Edwards is concerning at best.

Next week, if nobody gets injured, I'll probably start S Jackson, Moreno, Lynch, Colston, Ward, and two unknowns (one WR and one flex still needed). I doubt LT comes back till after their bye week.

My bench options are: Donald Brown versus Seattle (decent option but his yards seem to come during garbage time) and Braylon Edwards versus Cincy (hall is a good CB and the Cleveland QB's suck).

First, who do you recommend I look at for waivers? And second, what do you think I should do with Braylon and Roddy?

Olsen over Miller, easily. Do not drop Gage for one of those WRs unless a Dallas WR goes down tonight. I love the NYJ defense. They have faced some good offenses and still produced. Cin would be second. Both good fantasy options. Just that Cin def does not have good of schedule.

You are in decent shape at QB after McNabb comes back in week 5. You are also good at RB. The issue is WR. I know ATL played in rain in NE, but he killed me, too. I think White has a bye this week. Is Mason still available? His numbers were jaded by the second half bomb. I would start Colston and Ward for sure this week. There really is not any hot WRs I like this week. Wallace is still WR3 in Pitt. Wade and Bradley shined with Bowe out, but they are still in KC. Who is available on the waiver wire for you?

I like Dallas Clark vs Sea this week. He has put up good WR/TE numbers with AGonzo out of lineup. Plus, Cutler exposed the Sea defense ... I can imagine what Peyton and company will do. Also, look for at least one of the Jax WRs to have a big game. Everyone throws well versus Jax. Also, Mason is a decent option some weeks. I, too, would avoid Edwards unless Anderson is starting. Colston should be fine.

Hi

This is a standard scoreing ppr 12 team dynasty league.

Im pretty thin at Rb and WR however i am 2-1

I've been offered Steve Smith NYG for my 2010 1st rd rookie pick.

Do you think thats good value for the pick? Also what other moves would you recommed I try to improve my team.

line up is

1 QB

2 RB

3 WR

1 TE

1 RB WR TE flex

1 kicker

1 D

My roster is of relavent players

QB Brees, Edwards

RB Slaton, R Bush, P Thomas C Taylor J Harrison other sleepers

WR D jackson MSims-walker D Henderson LMoore C Stuckey other sleepers.no im not a saints homer. just worked out this way.

TE C Cooley

K Kaeding

D Philly

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Hey, I like Smith ok, but I would pass. You have a young team. Smith is doing ok, but things may change as Manningham further emerges and Nicks comes back from the foot injury. I do not think Smith affects your lineup much at all so I would keep the pick.

Hi Jeff, this is my first year as FBG Subscriber and since i've played only Re-Draft Leagues before this year (4 Year Experience) i know what should i do in order to win Re-Draft leagues, but i don't know what to do in a Dynasty League so i need your kind help.

The Rulebook is somehow different from the "usual" Dynasty Rulebook, cause we are using both Contract Years and Salary Cap and if i can easily understand how the salary cap system works, i having some troubles with the Contract Years System.

Rulebook says i can give a player no more than 3 Contract Years when i win his auction (i can put the franchise tag on him just once after this period, so let's consider that i can keep a Nucleus Player for 4 years at maximum) and that the Contract Years Total can not be higher than 38.

This are Roster Requirements:

2 QB / 2 RB / 2 WR / 2 TE / 3 FLEX (every offensive/defensive position except PK and QB) / 2 PK / 3 DL / 3 LB / 3 DB / 1 Extra (every offensive/defensive position included QB and PK)

Here's Starting Lineup

1 QB / 1 RB / 1 WR / 1 TE / 2 FLEX (RB,WR,TE) / 1 PK / 2 DL / 2 LB / 2 DB / 1 Def FLEX (DL/LB/DB)

------

Question A is -> This league looks to me more a Keeper than i Dynasty, when i try to acquire a new player should i use FBG Re-Draft, Dynasty Rankings or something like an average of both?

Question B is -> I have inherited this team from an owner, considering what i wrote before, would you drop a player with an high ceiling like Jamaal Charles or James Davis (both have a 2 Years Contract) in order to acquire a player like Larry Johnson for 2 Years? In a "No contract years Dynasty" i would say no, but what should i do in this kind of league? Should i look for potential or should i look for players like LJ or Donald Driver that are probably going to be starters next year too and that are cheaper than players like Josh Morgan?

Thank you Jeff, and have a nice day from Italy

Hi again Jeff – Vernon Davis over Zach Miller, and Pierre Garcon over Schilens?

I’m really down on the Oakland passing attack, and am considering other alternatives.

Zach Miller was fairly highly thought of before the year started, but oh my, he’s been off to such a slow start. In “Targets’ I see that Vernon Davis has 7, 6, and 10 (23 total) compared to Miller’s 6, 3, and 5 (14 total) for the first three weeks.

1. Is Davis worth a waiver wire pickup at the expense of Miller?

Kind of in the same light, I have Oakland's Schilens on my bench, hoping he can someday provide something better than what Braylon Edwards has been doing. Garcon doesn’t have all that many targets (5, 3, 5), but he does play in Indy.

2. Thoughts on picking up Garcon at the expense of Schilens?

Thanks!

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.

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: Tynes
