Hey Jeff,

Whats your thought on sitting M. Turner? If I were to sit him, B. Jacobs would replace his spot. Then I would put in M. Thomas (WR Jags) in the flex. Good idea?

Non-ppr, standard scoring

Hey Jeff,

I am in a 14 team non-ppr league that allows you to start a QB at Flex. After the draft I think my team looks good, but I am not wild about my WRs. There are a few players on the Waiver Wire I am interested in and wanted to to get your thoughts on whether or not I should drop a guy like E. Bennett for one of these Waiver Wire options. My Leagues details can be found below along with the top Waiver Wire options:

14 Team Non-PPR League

Passing TDs - 4 pts

Rush/Rec TDs - 6 pts

STARTERS:

QB - T. Romo

RB - R. Rice

RB - M. Ingram

WR - D. Bowe

WR - S. Moss

WR - A. Collie

TE - J. Graham

FLEX - M. Ryan (QB)

DEF - Patriots

K - S. Suisham

BENCH:

W. McGahee

D. Carter

N. Burleson

A. Brown

E. Bennett

L. Kendricks

Here are the players on the Waiver Wire I was considering:

WRs -

S. Smith (PHI)

D. Moore

A. Roberts

B. Berrian

E. Royal

D. Hester

RBs -

D. Ward

J. Harper

J. McKnight

B. Powell

T. Jones

L. Washington

S. Vereen

I am really leaning towards picking up S. Smith, D. Moore, or D. Ward and dropping E. Bennett, but I was hoping I could get your insight before I make this move. I think I am very weak at WR and really wold appreciate your help. I just dont see Bowe producing like last year and Collie is now without Manning which makes me very nervous. Thank you for your help!

Jeff,

What do you think of Moore with Colston out a while, and also Henderson I guess? And would you drop D. Moore for Henderson? Already own L. Moore and D. Moore and Ford.

Thanks,

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

ESPN scoring...would you drop Campbell for Newton? My first QB is Flacco

no. I think Newton will struggle early on

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Jeff,What would you offer for Starks, or is it too late? And would you recommend dropping anybody for Meacham? Also, Pierre Thomas was just dropped.My yahoo, redraft, non-ppr, team:QB(1): RyanRB(2): Mendenhall, DMCWR(3): Holmes, Lloyd, Steve JohnsonFlex(2): Moreno, HarvinBench: Ingram, McGahee, J Ford, Ringer, StaffordK: BryantD: Eagles

I do not think Meachem starts for you. If you think he might, drop Ringer. If not, keep Ringer with CJ missing all training camp/preseason. Also, it is too late for Starks to get cheap

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

So her is my team as is currently stands...........PPR LEAGUE

WHO WOULD U START?

1QB

Romo @ NYJ

Bradford v PHI

2RB

CJohnson @ JAX

LBlount v DET

DWilliams @ ARI

JHarrison @ TB

James Starks v NEW ORLEANS ( Looked ok but I sat him )

3WR

Megatron @ TB

SHolmes v DAL

MSims-Walker v PHI

Antonio Brown @ BAL

BBerrian @ SD

Robert Meachem @ GREEN BAY (Started him and he did well with points for me)

**So I only need 2 WR options this week unless you like someone as my flex

1 TE

AHernandez @ MIA

LKendricks @ PHI

1 FLEX WR or TE

WHO? Leaning towards both TE's?

K

NFolk v DAL

DEF

ARI v CAR (Do u like any other matchup better) AZ vs Cam

THANKS!

Hey, I think I would drop Bennett and Kendricks for Ward and Leon Washington just to watch one week on LW.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Jeff,What do you think of Moore with Colston out a while, and also Henderson I guess? And would you drop D. Moore for Henderson? Already own L. Moore and D. Moore and Ford.Thanks,

I think Lance Moore plays this coming week. Also, I expect NO to run the ball more and not be playing from behind. I would stay as is.

Would it be wise to offer one Lloyd, Harvin, or Steve Johnson for him? I doubt he would do it for Ford.

I do not think it would be a good move. GB will play the hot hand and use Starks, Grants, and rookie Alex Green. Plus, Starks is not know for his durability.

Hey Jeff,

With all the talk about the AMAZING Michael Vick, I drafted Brent Celek. I dropped him for Lance Hendricks who you and I both see as a TE with great potential.

In a league with a FLEX WR/TE should I even consider dropping one of my WRs or RBs to pick Celek back up?

I guess I just feel like the Eagles are looking a lot like my Saints, Brees like Vick has so, so many options that I worry about his ability to contribute regularly.

What do you think?

 

[fine wine]

Hello, Jeff. Need some help with picking WR3 in a non PPR league. I have Hakeem Nicks, Kenny Britt, Austin Collie, Andre Roberts, Mike Williams (SEA) and Brandon Gibson. I was going to start Collie at WR3 but you think one of the others would be better? Thanks!

 

[Foureyes]

Hi Jeff,

Glad you're still around with this thread. Wondering if you can help me choose my last starter for week 1:

Britt @ Jax or Bowe vs Buffalo. 6/TD, 1/10 run/rec, no PPR. Thanks!

 

[misc]

Hey Jeff,

Can I get your opinion on dropping Jared Cook for Lance Kendricks? My starter is Marcedes Lewis, but i'm considering starting Kendricks because of his upside. And Jac have QB issue. Non-ppr, 12 person, standard scoring. Thanks in advance Jeff.

 

[bighead2000]

Jeff, Pretty standard scoring....

Green Ellis or Matthews?

Thanks

I think I might risk Mike Williams with Rice out this week. I just do not know what to expect with Collins under center in Indy

No way. keep Lewis in as starter. McCown will sling the ball around. I like Cook over Kendricks at this point

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Jeff, Pretty standard scoring....Green Ellis or Matthews?Thanks

this is very close for me ....I might lean toward Mathews just since he "should" get more carries than BJGE. I do not have a good feel for how NE will use the RBs this year, but last yr BJGE was used when the Pats had a lead. I think Miami have an improved defense which will make the game closer than most expect

sorry I missed this in order ...This is close for me. I think I would go with Bowe against the soft Buf defense at home.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Hello everyone. Good luck tomorrow. I will check back at midnight central time. As per usual, I will not be around on Sunday mornings.

 

[bighead2000]

Jeff,

Doucett looked pretty good to day. How do you rank him vs Roberts?

Killed my kicker Kaeding.....lol

Thanks,

 

[tate516]

Hey Jeff

Typical Fantasy Day, AFTER..... some great, some good and some flat out STUNK UP the place!

Enjoyed last night's game especially since Romo is my QB! My back-up QB is Sam Bradford, I have read about the nerve damage in his finger and that he should be able to play next week. He has lost Amendola, dislocated elbow possibly season ending.

Stay with Bradford? I have Mike Sims-Walker 1 pass for 5 yds! HE should bounce back RIGHT?

Anyway.......is COLT McCOY the QB to roll with over BRadford?

I have:

SHolmes--CJohnson--RMeachem--EDoucet--ABrown (Is he even an option for BEN?)-(The Steelers WOW!)

What about Mohamed Massaquoi. He is available

I could drop one of my stinky WRs for Massaquoi or keep all my current WRs.

OR I COULD JUST CHILL WITH WHAT I HAVE, ITS WEEK ONE!

I mean Chris Johnson 6/25yds -- L Blount 1/15yds (WHAT THE HELL WITH BLOUNT????)

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

LEAVING ME WITH ONLY 1 QUESTION BRADFORD OR McCOY?

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

"TALENT" on the WW

WRs = I am curious about DONALD JONES being slated as the #2 since Lee Evans departure......worth a flyer???? or just a lookie loo for now? (Better than Early Doucet?)

=========================================================

By the way what happened to Derrick Ward starting for Arian Foster over Ben Tate Sunday? Just curious! (Drop Early Doucet for Derick Ward or is TATE the man in X now if Foster can't go?)

==========================================================

In case it isn't clear bc the BUCS shut down the running game the very second they fall behind I have NO PROBLEM letting BLOUNT go but for whom is the question! Plus there is that little fast guy Ted Ginn JR in a league where you earn return yardage points he can be a beast 268 & 2 TDS....things that make you go hmmmmmmm.

And you my friend are my FF YODA!!!!!! HELP your NOLA girl out and give this one some thought!

That is more than enough for now......I hope you read at least 80% of my post. God knows I love you for even trying!

THANKS JEFF

Hi Jeff. Trade question. My team is team #1 in signature. I feel the need to upgrade at WR. I am looking at dealing Big Ben and Gates for Kolb(or Bradford) and Jennings. your thoughts? I think Ben and Freeman are pretty close but I know Ben has a very easy schedule ahead. I lose at TE to gain at WR. Am I giving too much for the WR upgrade?

Thanks

I thought this was a test to see if I had ADD or something ...

I would roll with just one QB anyway. I would look for Cadillac Williams and dump Bradford. On Ward, he got nicked up and came out of the game with HOU way up in the game.

I am in a 10 team .5 ppr league. We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/Wr, 1 TE. 1 DEF, 1 K. Scoring is 6 pts per TD including passing, 1 pt. per 20 yds. passing, 1 pt.per 10 yds. Rushing/Passing, and as I said .5 per reception. I lost this weekend. I am wondering what areas you feel might be the most important to upgrade and who, if anyone, you might pickup if this was your team and who you might drop? I am #2 out of 10 on the waiver wire and available are: QB: Grossman, Newton. RB: C. Williams, E. Graham. WR: J. Gaffney (thinking of dropping Ward for him), B. Gibson, J. Jones (Texans), D, Nelson, D. Baldwin, B. Obomanu, P. Parker, J. Hill. A. Roberts, A. Benn TE: F. Davis, J. Gresham (him for Cook?) E. Moore, S. Chandler, E. Dickson, L. Pope, K. Davis, G. Olsen, T. Heap. Or if there are any others you might consider grabbing at any position, if I haven't mentioned them here. Also, how do you feel about D. Williams and P. Harvin after the first week? I am concerned for both.

My team:

QB: Romo, Roethlisberger

RB: R. Mendenhall, F. Jones, D. Williams, M. Tolbert, J. Starks, D. Carter, D. Ward

WR: Calvin J., S. Holmes, P. Harvin, L. Moore

TE: J. Graham, J. Cook

Def: Baltimore

Jeff,

roster move question for you. 12 team performance scoring 6/all TDs, 1/25 pass, 1/10 run rec, no PPR. Start 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR, 2 flex, PK and Def (TEs included with WRs and flex). My team is

QB Rodgers

RB Hillis, McFadden, Best, MLynch

WR Bowe, Britt, Finley, SMoss, LMoore

PK Kasay

Def NO

I know I'll need another PK sooner rather than later, because I expect Hartley to replace Kasay sometime around week 6. I need another def for NO bye week, and likewise for Rodgers, but not concerned about that as much as PK.

Question #1: do I jump on the SD kicker (Novak, I think) or wait a few weeks? If so, who's my first roster drop?

Question #2: because of the short bench in my league, there's a lot of good stuff available on the WW. Free agents include SSmith (Car), Caddy, Jacoby Jones and others. Given the fact that I have anywhere from 3 to 6 must-starts on my roster (Hillis, McFadden, Britt, and arguably Best, bowe, and LMoore if he plays and Colston doesn't) is Smith or anybody else enough of an upgrade to pull the trigger? If so, who gets dropped?

Question #3: Cam and Rex are both available. Can you make any arguement at all for grabbing a solid bye week QB now, and holding him for trade bait?

Sorry about the long post, appreciate your help.

DWill shocked me but Harvin looked great. You might bench DWill for Tolbert for a week just to see how the situation shakes out. But, Harvin looked good. I just think it will take McNabb a week or so to get in the groove.

If so, who gets dropped?Question #3: Cam and Rex are both available. Can you make any arguement at all for grabbing a solid bye week QB now, and holding him for trade bait? Sorry about the long post, appreciate your help.4ize

I think I would dump Lynch for Smith. On the backup QB/K/Def, you can use one roster spot for those, just picking up week of need, then dump next. But, this will give you an extended look at Smith. Also, a plan for injuries

I am in a 10 team .5 ppr league. We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/Wr, 1 TE. 1 DEF, 1 K. Scoring is 6 pts per TD including passing, 1 pt. per 20 yds. passing, 1 pt.per 10 yds. Rushing/Passing, and as I said .5 per reception. I lost this weekend. I am wondering what areas you feel might be the most important to upgrade and who, if anyone, you might pickup if this was your team and who you might drop? I am #2 out of 10 on the waiver wire and available are: QB: Grossman, Newton. RB: C. Williams, E. Graham. WR: J. Gaffney (thinking of dropping Ward for him), B. Gibson, J. Jones (Texans), D, Nelson, D. Baldwin, B. Obomanu, P. Parker, J. Hill. A. Roberts, A. Benn TE: F. Davis, J. Gresham (him for Cook?) E. Moore, S. Chandler, E. Dickson, L. Pope, K. Davis, G. Olsen, T. Heap. Or if there are any others you might consider grabbing at any position, if I haven't mentioned them here. Also, how do you feel about D. Williams and P. Harvin after the first week? I am concerned for both. My team:QB: Romo, RoethlisbergerRB: R. Mendenhall, F. Jones, D. Williams, M. Tolbert, J. Starks, D. Carter, D. WardWR: Calvin J., S. Holmes, P. Harvin, L. MooreTE: J. Graham, J. CookDef: BaltimoreK. A. Henerey

DWill shocked me but Harvin looked great. You might bench DWill for Tolbert for a week just to see how the situation shakes out. But, Harvin looked good. I just think it will take McNabb a week or so to get in the groove.

Thanks Jeff,So does that mean you would stand pat and not pickup any of the guys mentioned above off waivers? Also where do you feel I need the most help on my team? I personally am most concerned about WR and then TE. Now I feel as long as F. Jones holds up I have my RB#1 and RB#2 and Tolbert or Starks can be my flex. Last thing I am somewhat confused by your Harvin comment as I don't get return yards, and he did almost nothing in the passing game, are you saying you think he will improve?

Jeff,ppr league D.Nelson, hartline,Baldwin.........any of these worth picking up ....dropping d. moore. ???Thanks

My yahoo, redraft, non-ppr, team:

QB(1): Ryan

RB(2): Mendenhall, DMC

WR(3): Holmes, Lloyd, Steve Johnson

Flex(2): Moreno, Harvin

Bench: Ingram, McGahee, J Ford, Ringer, Stafford

K: Bryant

D: Eagles

So how concerned should I be over my flex spots? Ingram, Moreno, and Ford looked like crap and Ringer is still injured. Ford and Ringer are looking like cuts.

Which FA should I get and any idea what % of my waiver budget should I spend?

Ben Tate, Jacoby Jones, Branch, Caddy, Karim, Henderson, Gaffney, Woodhead, Bess, and Newton?

I watched the game and Harvin was getting looks early before the Vikings fell apart. I actually like him this week. I would hold tight on dumping players since your starters are strong

I actually like your starters this week, but may consider dumping Ringer for Caddy (and possibly start him), Tate, or Jacoby Jones. Jackson being out will give you another option this week if you get caddy

How do I determine how much $$ to spend on them? I have never played in a league with that waiver system before.

since none are impactful starters for you, I would not spend much ... but may take a chance with <5% on Tate or Caddy and try to hit a home run. If you miss out, no big deal. Neither is worth a ton so I would save and not spend too much. There will be great pickups later in season
