Sorry you have to go thru this sort of thing during the Christmas Season - may God be with you and share His love and compassion with you during this difficult time. I also agree thank you so much for taking time to answer piddly questions for us when your mind is elsewhere. God bless you!

thank you.

Hey Jeff, Merry Christmas and I am very sorry about your loss. I pray that you and the rest of your family is doing alright with everything.If you get the chance, I would love your opinion, but if you are busy, I completely understand.Made it to the championship, so just have one more victory to get. Its for the league and team in my signature.No reason not to start Rodgers right? I like Kitnas matchup, and I don't necessarily have to worry about a reoccuring concussion, but assuming Rodgers is healthy and starts as planned, I have to start him right?WR is my biggest dilemma. Right now I have Calvin, VJackson, and Austin as my starters, but am really having a tough time with them. Austin doesn't get targets, but has a nice matchup, Marshall had a great game last week, but can be expect the same against DET? Britt is a primary target, but so maybe he should be started over someone? Also, with VJackson, its looking like Floyd is likely out again, which is great, but would you still start him is Floyd plays?CJohnson @MIAVJackson @CINAustin @ARIBritt @KCMarshall vsDETFor RB I think I have to go with SJackson and RRice here, right?Right now I have Daniels as my tight end, but some other attractive options are out there still. Stick with Daniels or snag one them these?Celek vsMINMoeaki vsTENWatson vsBALBoss @GBGraham @ATLPettigrew @MIAI am a little worried about potential weather at CIN, so instead of Kaeding, would one of these be a better start?Carpenter vsDETBuehler @ARII think I am happy with the SD defense, but would you prefer any of whats available?Miami vsDETBaltimore @CLEThanks for your help and have a wonderful holiday. God Bless.

Let's start from the bottom. I would go with SD defense, Bal next. At kicker, I like Buehler and Kaeding. Both should be good games. I do expect the DAL/AZ game to be high scoring so there will be opportunities. At TE, I think I would roll with Daniels and hope for a big game. There is a chance AJohnson does not play (or is limited) making OD a better play. At WR, I think I would play VJax for sure, especially if Floyd is out again. Also, I think I would go with Britt because he has been on sure a tear. For last WR, I would roll the dice with Calvin. I know it sounds crazy to sit Austin and Marshall, but Britt has been playing better than either. At RB, Rice and Jackson.Good luck this week.

Merry Christmas Jeff - Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

A couple quick ones -



- Higher Upside QB this weekend

Ryan or Freeman



- Best option to try and get 15 in a PPR(WR3)

Mike Thomas, A.Benn/Obomanu(Starting Tampa/Seattle Williams' as WR1/2), Sid Rice

TIA

 

[Instinctive]

With Andre Johnson's injury troubles this week and Mike Williams (TB) having a great matchup at home to Seattle...would you consider starting him no matter what? I feel like Andre could do what he did against Dallas and tweak the injury more and no play the whole game...

 

[bighead2000]

Thanks Jeff! I'm sure I can't imagine, but football is always a fun distraction for me.

Take Care!

 

[eddie077]

Hey Jeff whats your opinion on

Choice vs Austin tonight??

have to fill one rb, one wr, and one flex from

Hillis v BAL

Choice @ ARZ

S. Moss @ JAX

Austin @ ARZ

Basically I have to sit one of the four any suggestions and some input.

This decision is eating at me

Thoughts and prayers are with you.

I think the upside move is Ryan. I just do not trust Freeman. At WR, Thomas has the best shot with MSW supposed to be out of action

Yes, I think I would play MW. There is always the chance AJ goes bonkers, but he will likely draw Champ Bailey

I think i would sit Choice (even though I like him as a player) if Barber is back in action. It is difficult to predict which of the three Dallas RBs will get the carries and goal line touchesGood luck

Hello everyone, I will check back tonight after dinner at the in laws .... In such a big week, I wish everyone the best of luck ...

need one, Nicks, S. Johnson or tampa Mike?

Hernandez or Cooley?

Thanks very MUCH

Hey Jeff,

Just another note of support to remind you that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

You always come through for all of us that post on your site.

You answer crazy questions to calm our fantasy football nerves and to relieve the stress that comes with the fun of playing.

I hope that our posts/questions remain some type of distraction as you move through this difficult time.

Good luck to you this weekend.

Take care.

 

[CowboysHomer]

Standard scoring.... Turner or Jennings as my RB2 (got Foster in the other RB spot)

 

[valhallan]

I'm down 5 points in a PPR league.

He has Turner, I have Brees (only 4pt passing TDs) and Peterson.

I could sub R.Bush, P.Thomas, or J.Graham for Peterson.

Is this a case where playing it safe with a healthy guy over the questionable stud is a wise move? Or is 5 points just enough of a deficit to play for upside?

 

[eldudarino]

OK, was completely planning on rolling with Webb, but with the two extra days, I'm worried that Favre may try to get in there.

Meachem @ ATL - minor injury concern (toe), but expected to play. inconsistent all year. only 4 games over 10 point and only 2 over 15.

Webb @ PHIL - the Favre issue! if he plays 4 quarters, i think he could be somewhere around 180 yards passing, 1 TD pass, 2 INTs, 60 yards rushing which would net somewhere around 15 points. if he got a rushing TD, icing on the cake

I had picked up Meachem as an emergency. I'm currently trailing in the Championship game (90-46), but I still have Vick, Celek, M. Turner either Webb or Meachem. My opponent has Akers

I think I'll catch up to make it pretty close assuming Vick has a good game and Turner finds the endzone and finished around 80-90 yards. That said, the Webb vs. Meachem decision is what will put me over the top.

Leave and link and I'll return the favor.

Thanks!

Either roll dice with Bush or stay with Peterson. ADP is playing, but there is no telling how long he can stay healthy vs Philly. I think you only nee 10-14 out of this position.

[bighead2000]

Hello Jeff,

Another BIG HUGE THANK YOU for all the help this year. I won the championship in the league I started out with Kolb as my # 1 QB. and of course picking up Vick per your advice was a big lift for my team, along with several other great suggestions. I hope 2011 will be a Great year for you, and that's most likely when I hope to talk again as I usually only play in redraft leagues.

Thanks Again, and God Bless! You are the best as are all the Football Guys Staff!

Jeff, these are my RBs and WRs in a rebuilding Zealots ZFAC league (Auction/Contracts) going into next season - the first season in which I expect to start being competitive after stock-piling rookies and shedding poor contracts the past 2 seasons. I've got the funds available to go after either a stud RB or a stud WR to add to this group. We can start 3RB/3WR or 2RB/4WR (no PPR) - would you go after an RB or a WR with the available money? There are also "Restricted" free agents available, but one must give up a pick in addition to the funds - a good WR or RB always costs a 1st rounder, and I've secured the 3rd overall pick, which I'm not willing to part with in addition to paying top dollar for a player like Matt Forte or DeSean Jackson.

RB1: Knowshon Moreno

RB2: Ryan Mathews

RB3: Benjarvus Green-Ellis

RB4: Beanie Wells

RB5: Tashard Choice

RB6: Brandon Jackson

WR1: Dez Bryant

WR2: Percy Harvin

WR3: Wes Welker

WR4: Eddie Royal

WR5: Steve Breason

WR6: Brandon Tate

WR7: Riley Cooper

WR8: Derrick Williams

Likely available Unrestricted Free Agents:

RB: Frank Gore, Michael Turner, Steven Jackson, Cedric Benson

WR: Larry Fitzgerald, Reggie Wayne, Anquan Boldin

I like Gore or Turner tops just because they are workhorses and could be underappreciated as they age. I like Jackson, too, but he does not get many TDs ... a huge deal in non-PPRs. I would target these RBs and let someone else overspend on WRs. In non-PPR, there are many more WRs producing similar numbers but the RBs are huge.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Anyone that is a serious dynasty player/owner and think they are up to the challenge, there are some openings in the HyperActive leagues. These are competitive leagues with many from FBG boards and commished by Jeter23. Very good leagues.

Hey Byron, congrats on making it this far. I was out of town, just getting a chance to answer or I might have suggested Wallace with your distance scoring bonus. We shall see. Otherwise, I like your starters, but may consider WInslow. Maybe it is just me, but I do not remember many times Watson does well in back to back weeks.

Really wishing I had started Wallace now!

sorry, I was out of town trying to clean out my deceased parents' house and just got back into town today ....

No problem at all, Jeff! Just the way this game goes sometimes. Maybe Britt puts up 30!

Thanks again for all your help this year, Jeff, and I hope your family is making it through the tough time well. We won our championship easily, and Britt put up nearly the same as Wallace in the end. I did not follow your hunch on Watson, and he promptly laid a 3.7 egg. Winslow put up 25.3 on the bench, but luckily Rodgers blew the Giants out to the tune of 49.8, so we had little to worry about. Hope to chat with you again around next year's draft time! I'll definitely be subscribing to FBG again in 2011!Happy New Year,

Byron

 

[Foureyes]

Hi Jeff,

Sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you and your family are coping well, and in some ways have a better 2011.

My last fantasy question for the year...

4 teams (including mine) qualified for playoffs in performance scoring league with no PPR. We redraft this week from the remaining players a team of 2QB/2RB/2WR/2 flex/2PK (no defense, and TEs are lumped in with WRs). Points count for 2 weeks, including the divisional and conference championship games. Since I finished 4th overall, I draft last in each of the ten rounds.

From past experience, draft strategy includes:

1) Get guys who are going to get two games, rather than one&done's. If a game is a toss-up, try to get somebody on both sides.

2) (Obviously) pick guys with good matchups who are going to score a ton of points.

I'm waiting on Dodds' projections/rankings for this week (should be out today) but my thoughts are that NE and Chi are very likely to win, Pitts/Balt and Atl/GB are close, and I want to avoid all Jets and Seahawks.

In a year like this, where there are some teams/players I definitely want to avoid, I sometimes like to reach a bit for QBs are PKs, since there are only 8 of each and all of them will be drafted, so that I don't get stuck with the garbage. I'd grab these positions a round or two earlier than usual to avoid getting stuck with Hass, Sanchez, Folk and Mare.

We can also freeze/keep anybody we had on our regular season roster. For me, that's basically my 2 QBs, Ben and Cutler. One guy is favored (he has Brady, Turner and MWallace), and I suspect the other two will grab Ryan and Rodgers in the first round before I pick. I can lock in Cutler and Ben if I use my first two picks on them. I'm leaning toward doing this, since (in this format) the value is greater with QBs and PKs than with the other players.

As of now, my ideal draft would involve getting 2-3 players from Chicago and NE, 1-2 players from Pitt, Balt, Atl and GB, and avoid all Hawks and Jets. Something like Ben/Cutler/BJGE/Forte/Gronkowski/SGraham/Gonzo/Gould/Starks/Heap.

Obviously it won't turn out exactly as I plan, but that's the direction I'd take going in. I'm interested in your thoughts, and whether you'd go at it differently. Thanks.

Once again, I appreciate your assistance now during a difficult time for you, as well as over the course of the whole year. It's a huge help.

4ize.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

I agree on Chi/NE completely. I would load up on both. In addition, I would think QBs are easily the most valuable position. Things I have noticed:BJGE racks up points in blowouts ... like this weekendMendy struggles vs BalForte scores better when Chicago down or even ... not this week. Sure, he could rack up some yardage but his monster games are not Bear blowoutsHasselbeck will throw a lot in desperation so he makes a decent play late just for one week. Will likely be last QB takenI would only take Cutler or Forte early for Chicago .. WRs/Olsen are close enough not to pay early priceBranch seems like a steal in drafts I have seenI would go QB/RB heavy then draft several WRs late ... just try to get the RBs you want from teams you want.

Hey Ben (and others), thanks for the kind words. Have a great offseason

 

[deadstick]

Hey Jeff, I've got a Zealots league that I've done a lot of shuffling to get some decent RBs - but my WRs are now a problem. The Dwayne Bowe owner is interested in moving him and has interest in Arrelious Benn, David Gettis, Mike Sims-Walker, and my 1st round pick - some combination of that would probably get me Bowe. He's also the Chris Johnson owner and I have Javon Ringer.

My roster (offense only):

QB: Cutler, Sanchez, Fitzpatrick, Gradkowski

RB: Forte, Moreno, McFadden, Jacobs, R Williams, M Barber, J Ringer

WR: Marshall, Sims-Walker, Benn, Royal, Obamanu, Gaffney, Damian Williams, Houshmandzadeh, Gettis, R Cooper, Shipley, Robiskie

TE: Z Miller (OAK), Watson, Shockey, Fasano

His roster (offense only):

QB: Vick, E Manning, Garrard, McCoy, D Anderson

RB: C Johnson, J Charles, Blount, Benson, BJGE, Tolbert, T Jones

WR: Bowe, M Williams (TB), Bennett, Hester, M Jenkins, Aromashodu

TE: Marcedes Lewis, Olsen, F Davis

I have picks 1.08, 2.08, 3.04, 3.08, 3.10 and 4.08

He has picks 4.12, 5.01, 5.12 and 6.12

I'd love to get Bowe without giving up either my first rounder, Benn or Sims-Walker - but I don't think that's possible. With Benn's ACL tear and MSW's upcoming free agency, I'm leaning towards dealing Benn and trying to keep Sims-Walker, but I think I'd then have to give up my first.

Do you think these are fair offers and which would you rather give up for Bowe?

1) Arrelious Benn + Javon Ringer + 1.08 for Bowe (maybe also need to throw Gettis in)

2) Mike Sims-Walker + David Gettis + Javon Ringer + 2.08 for Bowe

Both of these are maybe low-balling??? Maybe Sims-Walker + Gettis + 1.08 is more reasonable

He's also the Chris Johnson owner and I have Javon Ringer.My roster (offense only):QB: Cutler, Sanchez, Fitzpatrick, GradkowskiRB: Forte, Moreno, McFadden, Jacobs, R Williams, M Barber, J RingerWR: Marshall, Sims-Walker, Benn, Royal, Obamanu, Gaffney, Damian Williams, Houshmandzadeh, Gettis, R Cooper, Shipley, RobiskieTE: Z Miller (OAK), Watson, Shockey, FasanoHis roster (offense only):QB: Vick, E Manning, Garrard, McCoy, D AndersonRB: C Johnson, J Charles, Blount, Benson, BJGE, Tolbert, T JonesWR: Bowe, M Williams (TB), Bennett, Hester, M Jenkins, AromashoduTE: Marcedes Lewis, Olsen, F DavisI have picks 1.08, 2.08, 3.04, 3.08, 3.10 and 4.08He has picks 4.12, 5.01, 5.12 and 6.12I'd love to get Bowe without giving up either my first rounder, Benn or Sims-Walker - but I don't think that's possible. With Benn's ACL tear and MSW's upcoming free agency, I'm leaning towards dealing Benn and trying to keep Sims-Walker, but I think I'd then have to give up my first.Do you think these are fair offers and which would you rather give up for Bowe?1) Arrelious Benn + Javon Ringer + 1.08 for Bowe (maybe also need to throw Gettis in)2) Mike Sims-Walker + David Gettis + Javon Ringer + 2.08 for BoweBoth of these are maybe low-balling??? Maybe Sims-Walker + Gettis + 1.08 is more reasonable

I would offer the other owner Ringer, Gettis and his choice of two of: the first, MSW, or Benn.

Jeff,

What 2 players would you drop, PPR start 1 QB?

Players in bold are the ones I'm considering, I'm pretty stacked so I'm considering dumping Cadillac and keeping more younger players in hopes one hits down the road. I'm thinking L. Robinson and either Cadillac or Peerman. Do you think I could get anything for Cadillac in a trade?

McCoy, Colt CLE QB

Rodgers, Aaron GBP QB

Young, Vince TEN QB

Benson, Cedric CIN RB

Bradshaw, Ahmad NYG RB

Dixon, Anthony SFO RB

Parmele, Jalen BAL RB

Peerman, Cedric CIN RB

Peterson, Adrian MIN RB

Rice, Ray BAL RB

Ringer, Javon TEN RB

Williams, Carnell TBB RB

Clayton, Mark STL WR

Alexander, Danario STL WR

Fitzgerald, Larry ARI WR

Johnson, Andre HOU WR

Jones, Jacoby HOU WR

Nicks, Hakeem NYG WR

Robinson, Laurent STL WR

Smith, Steve CAR WR

Thomas, Mike JAC WR

Gates, Antonio SDC TE

Gronkowski, Rob NEP TE

Winslow, Kellen TBB TE

Brown, Josh STL PK

Chargers, San Diego SDC Def

I do not think Caddy is worth much. Maybe you can offer him out for a 4th rounder to every team before cutting him. Peerman is an easy cut. I would keep Robinson over Parmele.

depending on your scoring, sure if you could get an elite rookie RB. But, this is my preference: young stud RBs (over rookie WRs) and established WRs (which are cheaper than rookies). Also, depends how many you can start at each position. Colston, Harvin, & Collie (with Ward, Moss, & Branch) give you three good starting WRs. You have a good team so I would worry more about trying to win 2011 than getting younger.

I think the thing to do is to look at acquiring 2012 firsts (at a discounted rate). If someone has a couple already, look to move Bradshaw or Hillis for the picks and a prospect. With your team, if you could get 3-5 2012 firsts, you could play for the win this year and draft youth next year

I agree, too rich. I might look at SJax, Marshall, and the 1.11 for Foster and change. The thinking is to keep your team young.

Zealots league, been offered Santana Moss for LB DeAndre Levy and DL Matt Shaughnessy

Shaughnessy I can part with, I never seem to have trouble acquiring FA DLs in Zealots and I still have 3 other good ones. Levy is a bit more difficult - due to depth at LB I traded Urlacher away last offseason, and this would leave me a bit depleted there, but I REALLY need the help at WR. Problem is, Moss is no spring chicken - but I don't have the ammo to pry away a decent young WR from anyone. His team is rebuilding, I'm in a win-now mode (although my corps is fairly young), I finished 3rd this year.

If Moss was 2 years younger and not looking to move to Oakland as a strong possibility, I'd do it - but I'm hesitant as it is....should I be?

My team

QB: Cutler, Sanchez, Fitzpatrick, Gradkowski, Kitna

RB: Forte, McFadden, Moreno, Jacobs, MBIII, Ringer

LB: Ryans, Dansby, Levy, Greenway, Sims, Wake

DB: Marshall, Polamalu, Flowers, Bethea, Porter, Tr. Williams

While you could use the WR help, I would pass. Too much risk in Moss. Others (like Breaston) would be cheaper)

I have two trades that have been offered to me by two different teams but for the same player I seem to be checking a lot of offer for Stewart he must be a hot offseason pickup for team but here are the offers.1st J. Freeman, J. Stewart for E. Manning, M. Schaub, & M. Bus.h Don't think I really like this one very much.2nd Big Ben & F. Gore for J. Stewart and 1.04.I like this one better then the first but is it a no brianer I like Ben as my QB and I am thinking that stewart and the 1.04 is what you would pay for Gore in any league but the team that is offering this trade has to many keeper players right now and I still have the 1.01 and 1.11.So what do you think about these two trades.

Pass on the first for sure. Many (not necessarily me) have Stewart ranked WAY higher than Gore due to age difference. That draft pick will go up dramatically in value in the coming weeks so I would hold off for now.

Jeff,

Who do you think got the better end of this deal in PPR?

Witten & Jacoby Jones

for

Cooley, S. Smith (NYG) & Fred Davis

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Jeff,Who do you think got the better end of this deal in PPR?Witten & Jacoby JonesforCooley, S. Smith (NYG) & Fred Davis

Since I am avoiding the skins as much as possible, I would lean toward the Witten side. It is fair and the health of Smith (and where he plays next yr) will likely decide who "won" the deal

Good to hear as I was on the Witten side.If I remember you seem to value older WR's on the cheap like Driver and Mason types. I'm in need of a #2 WR behind Roddy and all I have right now are S. Smith (Car), H. Ward, MSW and some young WR's with potential. Any hope that one of my current veteran WR's can fill that #2 spot in 2011? What undervalued WR's would you recommend going after to fill my #2 WR spot in PPR?
