Hey Jeff. Here's the facts:--12 team Non-PPR, all TDs are 7pts, standard yardage.--Very limited league in regards to transactions. We're at the halfway point of the regular season and I have 4 left. I also have 4th position on the waiver list. --You have to have 5 RBs and 6 WRs, no more no less. --I also need to save at least 1 transaction for most of the season in case Hernandez gets dinged as my other TE is Finley, although I could trade.My RBs = Best (bye this week), Bradshaw (bye next week), Barber, Sproles, KuhnMy WRs = AJ (bye this week), Ocho, MWilliamsTB, Dez, Naanee (banged up), McClusterFA RBs = Woodhead (RB only), Ivory, BettsFA WRs = Meachem, Burleson (bye this week), DAlexander, Avant, JenkinsI'm not all that comfortable starting Barber and Dez this week against the Giants. This seems like a good time to use a move or two with my waiver position. If Naanee is healthy, and Gates/Floyd are not, he has a good matchup....but that's alot of if's. I'd also rather not play guys coming off that type of injury right away. The Saints play at home against the Browns making Ivory (with Pierre out) and Meachem attractive, but they play the Steelers next week when Bradshaw is on bye (Barber plays Jags though). I also see Woodhead as a viable option this week and down the stretch. I like Burleson too, but he doesn't help me this week, and that's a move I could make right after waiver runs if nobody picks him up and I didn't get Meachem. Not sure I have enough info on Alexander.I need to put the best lineup out there since I'm a game out of the division at 3-4....but I also am limited on moves so what I do needs to try to also have an eye on later in the year.What would be your move(s) here? Or sit tight, roll with my Cowboys, maybe just making one move?Thanks!

I would use one move for either Ivory or Meachem ... both playing well. I would dump Kuhn. Meachem is the better longterm move but Ivory this week. Then, I would sit Dez this week and start MB3

Thanks for the quick response.My waiver ran last night and my order was Ivory-Meachem-Woodhead. The #1 waiver claimed Ivory and I claimed Meachem at #4. I'm still debating making the move on Woodhead as he was not picked up. He certainly would be an upgrade to Kuhn, but I'm now down to 3 moves. If I picked him up and didn't start him this week I'm not sure that's worth it...but it could be.

too early in season to use another move for a RB who carries the ball 10ish times

Capped off the week trading Best and Brady for Peterson and Favre! And I have Orton. Worked out for the best I'd say! Thanks again.

Good Afternoon JEFF!

PPR LEAGUE

Need 2 RB's to start (Best on BYE, BUSH on IR)

[C Ivory vs CLE

L McCoy @ TEN (Worried about what I saw the Titans do to MJD---but McCoy can catch!)

R Torain @ CHI (Just don't want to see him come out of the game in the 4th for K Williams like last week)

Thanks to BYE weeks...My WR question is more of a WR/TE one.....

I have to start 2 BUCS this week

M Williams & K Winslow face the RAMS @ home

Would you be worried or is their match-up ok?

My other 2 starting WR's are R Moss & H Nicks (Do you think he bounces back)

* I hope to grab Owen Daniels after his bye this week

THANKS

I would not sweat the TB receivers and you should be fine. I am worried about Torain's knee injury so might go with the other two

Sounds good Jeff, is that why Torain didn't finish the game in the 4th qtr last week?

J Best v WAS (Hope the toe will be good to go)

R Torain @ DET

C IVORY v PIT ( NO WAY especially after this week )

*McCoy on BYE

*Bush on IR

3 WR's

R Moss @ NE ( I would love to think he can't wait, BUT he seems to be a decoy for Harvin, and all the other Vikings WR's )

P Garcon v HOU ( LOVE IT---sorry about Collie )

S Holmes v GB ( Would I start to believe HE will be a #1 target soon? )

M Williams (TB) @ ARI ( Catches a god bit, but not many TD's )

------I could DROP IVORY for the following:

RB

Sproles ONLY because of his Return Yds which earn me points

or

WR's

Lee Evans ( Was this week a fluke? ) Wk 8 @ KC

TE's

I had K Winslow this week 5/44 yds

**I want to DROP him ASAP for.............

Owen Daniels v Indy Week 8 @ 100%

I don't want to touch Lee or Quarless with the Packers

****I'll be back with my Defense options since the Falcons will be on their bye.

I would start your two RBs and your three WRs, sans Holmes. At TE, dump Winslow for ODaniels. Keep Ivory, especially with news Pierre is out for quite a while longer

 

[Instinctive]

Probably dropping Watson over his bye...

Owen Daniels or Pettigrew are my top options, which one would you take? Leaning towards Pettigrew, but Daniels was starting to look pretty good

Defenses:

KC

SFO

Those two on roster already, would you drop one to grab Tampa? I like their ARZ matchup a lot.

Need a K for Matt Bryant too...would you drop Kolb for one (Orton and Henne on roster) or just get rid of Bryant completely?

Carpenter

Barth

Brown (STL)

Also, drop my 3rd QB (Kolb) for Blair White even though I won't start him over Santana, Andre J, or Mike Williams TB? Same question for Mike Hart, though he won't start for me over any two of Bradshaw, Torain or Blount unless D Brown is declared out...

--H Nicks (Plz bounce back tonite)

--P Garcon ( Collie out--Sad but GOOD!)

--S Holmes (Will he ever be the #1 Option?)

--M Williams (TB-catched just no TD's)



** Should I DROP Ivory with Reggie soon to return or STAY PAT?

**Should I DROP Ivory for David Gettis (CAR) faces STL wk 8

**Should I DROP Ivory for Patrick Crayton v TEN ( I play against Philip Rivers )

----Is there ANY WR you would sit to start PATRICK CRAYTON because my opponent starts Rivers?

---If NOT, do I grab Gettis or Crayton as better talent than I currently have or stay pat with IVORY for now?

Hey Jeff

12 team H2H league

PPR scoring, 6 pts for all Td's including passing TD's

Start

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

Current team:

QB: Big Ben, Vick

RB: Turner, J. Best, D. Sproles, Cadillac Williams, Mike Hart

WR: B. Marshall, S. Moss, C. Ochocinco, S. Smith(CAR), M. Williams(Sea), Louis Murhpy, M. Jenkins

TE: Zach Miller(Oak), A. Hernandez

DEF: Bal

My team is doing well but I need some depth at RB. One owner needs some WR help. He has Lynch and Shonn Greene available. What should I give up for somoene like Lynch, I don't want to give up too much. Or if I can't get one of these RB's who should I try to move to acquire something.

Thanks

I like Daniels. He has been great when healthy. At defense, I would dump SF for TB with Anderson at QB. Dump Bryant for Carpenter. He has scored well the past three weeks. Kickers are streaky. Keep Kolb for now unless something happens you need to dump him. I would hold tight at RB/WR. Getting average players in good situations is a recipe for failure at the expense of high expectations

I would roll with Hart now that Addai is out. Watch for Donald Brown's injury status. Hart could be their starter. If not, try to move Hart and Murphy for Lynch. I might want more than Lynch for Smith or Williams, esp in PPR.

 

[crazylegs1]

I am 3-4 and have a critical matchup this week to try to get to .500 (basically a 2 game swing between winning and losing). I am in a 10 team, .5 ppr league. All TD's are 6 pts. 1 pt per 10 yds. rushing/receiving. Defenses score alot of pts, for example my Tennessee defense scored me 25 pts. last week. We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/WR, 1 TE, 1K, 1 Def and 1 IDP. Here is my lineup:

QB: Brees

RB: J. Best. M. Forte, P. Thomas, C. Ivory,

WR: H. Nicks, R. Moss, S. Moss, J. Gaffney, R. Williams

TE: A. Hernandez

DEF: Titans, Falcons, Cowboys

K: G Hartley

IDP: D.J. Williams

Now my dilemma. I have H. Nicks on a bye, along with M. Forte this week. Leaves me with J. Best and C. Ivory vs. Pitt (not good) as my RB's at this point, and going with 3 WR's. (probably R. Moss, S. Moss and J. Gaffney) Who would you want off waivers to throw in as #2 RB rather than Ivory? B. Jackson vs. NYJ, T. Hightower vs. TB, F. jackson vs. KC, D. McCluster vs. Buff. I am leaning towards F. Jackson. I could also try to make a trade, but I would probably have to overpay. Just out of curiosity, what WR of mine might you be willing to give for say R. Matthews or J. Charles?

I would avoid Mathews at this point. Beanie Wells is the one I would target. He or Tomlinson would be my choice. I would offer the two Saints ... and throw in Roy to get it done.

 

[Imagine]

Hi Jeff –

It looks like Romo will be out for a few weeks. The Romo owner has Sanchez as a backup. I have Ben and Eli. Eli’s bye in next week, so what I’m going to ask you about has huge up-front risk for me.

What is your impression of me offering him Ben and Ahmad Bradshaw for Romo and Turner? Both Bradshaw and Turner are on bye next week too, so no immediate RB impact, but this trade would give him a potentially great QB for the rest of the year, and a pretty good RB in Bradshaw, for a broken Romo that may be back in a few weeks, and Turner, who can be a stud, but has had his woes this year.

And frankly, I’m not sure who has better value for the rest of this year, Bradshaw or Turner.

I would have to find a QB on the waiver wire for week 8. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Cassel are on our WW now, so there’s some potential for week 8. I’m 5-2 now, he’s 4-3.

Is this a wonderful and exciting gamble to improve my team for the playoffs, or is it a total mess of an idea?

Thanks!

As ALWAYS you give me the best advice......

Now I lost my QB for WEEKS last night! You guessed it I have ROMO, my backup is Michael Vick who is on his BYE this week!!!!



So, I have to DROP somebody to pick up a QB to start week 8! I am not going to drop Vick but who do I drop?

If you think I need to hang onto Ivory, then I guess the WR to say good-bye to is Santonio Holmes who hasn't done much of anything yet!

Do I grab KITNA, they are certain to work with him on timing and stuff this week, he has a load of talent at WR, TE & RB so I guess he is my best option for ONE WEEK, right?????

****I dropped HOLMES for KITNA for Week 8! I hope you agree! ****

 

[zspikes68]

Jeff,

My team is poor to quite poor and it got worse last night...see for yourself

QB - Josh Freeman, Romo

RB - Chris Johnson, Danny Woodhead (WR/RB), CJ Spiller, Chris Ivory

WR - Calvin Johnson, Santonio Holmes, Pierre Garcon, Steve Johnson

TE - Vernon Davis, Zach Miller

K - Rackers

DEF - Miami

It's a PPR league with all TDs worth 6 pts

1 pt per 10 rushing/receiving yds

1 pt per 20 passing yds

1 pt per 30 return yds

With Romo out, here is what is out there

Vick

Fitzpatrick

Sanchez

I can only roster 2 QBs. do I drop Romo and pick up Vick? Or one of the other QBs or just wait for Romo to come back, and hope for the best with Freeman.

Also, with Bush coming back do I drop Ivory to grab Bush? I can only roster 4 RBs and 4 WRs (Woodhead can count as either a WR or a RB). I could also drop one of my WR's and pick up Bush...

I'm 3 and 4 and quickly dropping out of the playoff picture...

Other Free Agents out there are

Shonn Green

Jonathan Stewart

Simms-Walker

Crabtree

Reggie Bush

Brandon Jacobs

Thanks Jeff

Hey Jeff,

Qb's for this up coming week?

Hass, Fitz,Kitna, freeman?

Also Cooley vs Hernandez......someone dropped Cooley

Thanks...

 

[Imagine]

Hi Jeff – Need one RB with Rice/Bradshaw on bye, and Reggie still out.

I grabbed McCluster (listed as RB/WR) last week, so my plan was to start him at RB unless some other opportunity popped up. A couple of interesting WW options are Derrick Ward at Indy and LeGarrette Blount at Arizona.

1. What order do you like McCluster, Ward, and Blount?

2. And Fitzgerald or Britt? After Fitzgerald’s dud last week against Seattle, I’m inclined to try Britt at SD and hope he can blow up twice in a row. Fitz is at home against Tampa Bay.

My plan is to drop Hartley for Blount or Ward. Sound right?

And do you like keeping Moeaki, or maybe swapping him out for Lee Evans or another Defense? Thanks!

I would do it only if you can improve in another area, too because the RBs are close. You are taking all of the risk. Now, if you could get Daniels for Moeaki, too, it might be worth it

Eric, check the byes. If this is a redraft league, dump both QBs for Vick and Fitz. I would dump Holmes for Bush and then Ivory for Crabtree in a week. The one caveat is that if D Williams is out this week, Stewart could be a great play

Hey Jeff,

Are you still liking Ivory? Ward? I have Bradshaw and McCoy on bye. D. Williams banged up

Have Ivory is all. Hart, Blount, on wire. Bye week issues

Still like Ivory but tough matchup vs Pitt. I like Hart and Blount if you can get both. I think DWill plays.

Qb's for this up coming week?

Hass, Fitz,Kitna, freeman? Hard to argue with numbers Fitz is putting up, Kitna second choice

eagles off.....

Also Cooley vs Hernandez......someone dropped Cooley Cooley vs Detroit

Ok here's my team: Not sure who to drop if i could pu any fo those Rb's

Vick, Kolb, Hass hope to get Fitz or Kitna drop hass

Bradshaw,Jacobs

McCoy

D. Wiliams

Ivory so pu Hart and Blount......drop Ivory and maybe one other player? Forgot to mention have Jacobs backing up Bradshaw on bench(could drop i guess) Have to have two rb's at least this week.

Calvin play two wr and two rb's with another wr/rb flex

S. Moss

Floyd

Crayton

Colston

pu cooley for hernandez maybe

Thanks...

Decisions, decisions Of course this is redraft ...standard scoring...sorry

hey jeff, a q for each team in sig. team A: drop Ward for Blount? drop Deji for Evans or Bess? and team B: trade Palmer for Matt Ryan? no bite on McNabb

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Hi Jeff – Need one RB with Rice/Bradshaw on bye, and Reggie still out. I grabbed McCluster (listed as RB/WR) last week, so my plan was to start him at RB unless some other opportunity popped up. A couple of interesting WW options are Derrick Ward at Indy and LeGarrette Blount at Arizona.1. What order do you like McCluster, Ward, and Blount?2. And Fitzgerald or Britt? After Fitzgerald’s dud last week against Seattle, I’m inclined to try Britt at SD and hope he can blow up twice in a row. Fitz is at home against Tampa Bay.My plan is to drop Hartley for Blount or Ward. Sound right?And do you like keeping Moeaki, or maybe swapping him out for Lee Evans or another Defense? 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. Pass TDs = 4 pts, all others 6. 1 for 10 yards rushing or receiving, 25 yards passing.My Team: QB: Eli, Ben RB: Gore, Rice, Bradshaw, R Bush, McClusterWR: Calvin, Marshall, Fitzgerald, BrittTE: Keller, Moeaki DEF: KC K: Hartley, Rackers

I would drop Moeaki and a kicker for Blount and another defense. I would want to see Evans do it again. At WR, hard to argue against Britt.

[bighead2000]

Jeff,

Who would you rather have out of these:

Have Bradshaw already, McCoy on bye

Jacobs,Ivory

Someone dropped Stewart......have D williams and not sure if need Jacobs to bu Bradshaw.

And I was able to get Hart, and Blount off wavers

THanks.....

 

[oconsirl]

hey jeff

Vick and Cutler off this week, need a one week (or more) replacement.

1/25 pass, 4 td, .5/comp, 1/10 rush 6 td

available:

Kitna, Fitzpatrick, Freeman, Hasselback, Troy Smith (interesting)

who has the best week of the bunch?

also, time to sell high on TO or is he a legit must start all season? thanks

 

[Imagine]

Hi Jeff – I sure appreciate the perspective you bring...and I like how this team is shaping up, even through the byes. Still trying to improve…is Andre Johnson still a good target in a trade?

What if I offer Fitzgerald and either Britt or McCluster (RB/WR) for Andre?

Not sure it’s all that smart, but I don’t trust Britt, and Fitz has been held in check recently and their QB is questionable. Thoughts or alternatives?

You have a great squad. I would not risk it for such a small upgrade.

meant to ask Ivory or Jacobs backing up Bradshaw if can't get Stewart?

 

[deadRED]

Thanks for the help. McCoy on his bye, need a RB2. Must win.

1PPR, 1pt/10yds rush/rec, 6pts/td's

McCoy is on his bye so i have to roll with Matthews vs. TENN or Cadillac @ ARI

Matthews hasn't done much and faces a good Titans D and Cadillac has been mediocre.

Thinking of grabbing a FA

Fred Jackson @ KC, thinking of giving him the nod with Lynch gone.

Darren Sproles vs. TENN, tough matchup and he hasn't done much, but it is PPR

LeGarrette Blount @ ARI, people are high on him but he hasn't done much

Mike Hart vs. HOU, will he be the starter? nice matchup

Thanks in advance for any advice/opinions.

 

[Gottabesweet]

14 team PPR, I've wheeled and dealed my way into this roster, 6 per td, 1pt per 25 pass, 1pt per 10rush/rec PPR

Start 3WR 2RB

Brady

MJD

Ronnie Brown

Calvin Johnson

Reggie Wayne

Miles Austin

My Bench has Pierre Thomas and Nicks

I'd trade Pierre Thomas, Ronnie Brown and Matt Cassell for Steven Jackson. I'd then have no RB depth if MJD or Jackson gets hurt. I do have Karim and Jennings for MJD handcuff. If I do the trade I'd have no backup QB either.

Thoughts?

If I do this trade would you then trade MJD and Nicks for Chris Johnson straight up and have this lineup but no depth:

Brady

CJ

Steven Jackson

Calvin

Wayne

Austin

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

I think Jacobs with Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas back soon enough

[bouch097]

Good morning Jeff,

Need some advice on my PPR lineup this week. Too many good options this week!

Need 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex

Foster vs IND

Best vs WAS

AJohnson vs IND

Garcon vs HOU

S Moss vs DET

R Moss vs NE

M Williams vs ARI

M Willimas vs OAK

I realize that having 6 of Bloom's top 14 ranked WR's for the week is a good problem to have, but I'm obviously second guessing every lineup I enter...lol. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

 

[bighead2000]

Hello Jeff

Picking from these guys due to bye week:

Fitz qb

Blount rb

Hart rb

Megatron rb/wr or could plug stewart

Colston wr

S. Moas wr

Hernandez

Chiets

Nugent or Folk,Carpenter,Buehler

thanks

 

[def2noiz]

Heya Jeff~

I'm shopping the waiver wire and I think I can add a RB in place of Josh Brown who I picked up to cover a bye. The guys who stand out are Stewart, Greene, Blount, Woodhead, Jackson, Hart.

I have Best, TJones, and Lynch going this week. I'm just thinking about the future here, so who do you think has the best long term upside of those guys? You wouldn't bench any of the 3 I have going in favor of one of them would you? Thanks for the advice, man!

 

[oconsirl]

hey jeff,

ppr league, 1/10 yds, 6 td, 1/40 ret

RB - Foster, Charles, Addai, Wells, Stewart

WR- TO, Harvin, Wallace, Garcon, Amendola

Need 2 RB, 2 WR and a flex. . . .who do you go with?

quick one for my other league, ppr - Breaston or MSW?

Thanks!

 

[tate516]

Hey Jeff,

Not expected to win this week, my QB problems are ridiculous

Romo is hurt, Vick is on his Bye week.

I picked up John Kitna, had to drop S Holmes because of Bye week issues

Wondering what you think? Kitna will face the Jags secondary.

Next week I give the start to Vick until Romo returns unless Kitna goes wild!

-----------

PPR League

Starting Torain @ DET & Best v WASH......do you like them both this week?

I still have Reggie Bush & Chris Ivory

I want to know what do you think about this idea:

Drop Ivory for S Holmes

Drop Romo for Matt Stafford

I am very nervous about dropping Romo!!!!

Do you think he is done for the season?

I don't want to pull the trigger and hear news that he'll be back sooner than thought?

Tell me what to do Jeff!

Thanks so much for your time and advice!!!

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Hey everyone, I will not be able to answer questions for a few days. I lost my father today and need to spend time with the family. I am sorry.

 

[oconsirl]
