Jeff,

More of a going forward than this week question for you.

In this league (different league than signature) we carry 5-RB & 5-WR

Start each week 3-RB, 3-WR, 1-TE and 1 flex.

Current roster is

RB - LT, LJ, C Johnson, S Slaton, BJ Green-Ellis

WR - Colston, Cotchery, Holmes, Gage, J Morgan.

TE- Daniels, Dallas Clark

My question is: I just picked up BJGE this week (for Torain)

Should I keep him (and possibly play him this week) or

should I roll the dice cut BJGE and possibly pick up Ladell Betts (lottery ticket??)

I don't know what to make of the Washington backfield status right now but

it sounds like Betts will be back soon and Portis' injury could be just a week or many????

My team is tied for 2nd in the division with 2 games separating 1st and 4th.

I don't know who makes the playoffs (have to find out)

Thanks as always

let me start by saying i am lost on when to start walter. he has burned me a few times in my redraft. i think bowe and driver are good options. moore vs breaston is a tougher one. i would lean toward breaston only because i liked what i saw on monday night

[rascal]

Ugh....after going 7-0 I've lost the last three and haven't scored more than 80 points in each game.

Here is my team:

QB: Eli and Favre (Favre is killing me)

RB: MBIII, Portis, Forte, Slaton, Benson, Torain (oops)

WR: TJ Housh, Calvin Johnson, Burress, Cotchery, Avery (ugh)

K: Prater

D: Steelers D

We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 2 WR/RB flex, K, D in this 10 team traditional scoring yahoo league.

I'm dropping Torain as someone dropped Kevin Smith after suffering injuries to Orton and Big Ben.

I'm not sure what to do with Avery but the best QBs available are:

Quinn, Cassell, Garcia, and Thigpen...do you think I should drop Favre?

My other problem is that my 7th position starter has been killing me. I'll start Portis, MBIII, Forte, Burress (although he has been sucking it up), Calvin, and TJ Housh pretty much every week. But deciding between Cotchery, Slaton, Benson, and K Smith if I can get him has been unsuccessful.

What do you think?

Defeintely drop Torain for Smith. I think your last starter will be fine alternating between he, Cotch or Slaton, depending on matchup. I do not think I would dump Favre yet. He was able to have a soft week because the Jets were up big early. I think your team will be fine, but much depends on your QBs. You were hurt this week with your two top Rbs, and a

Yeah QBs are definetly my weak point. One team has two QB's in the top ten.Their Team:

Brees, Cutler

Jamal Lewis, Westbrook, McClain, Rudi

Breaston, Welker, Vincent Jackson, Derrick mason, S Moss, A Gates

Elam, Longwel

Giants D

Thoughts?

He needs a RB. I would offer him Slaton and Favre for whichever QB he wants to give up. He could also use a WR. Add Cotch if need be. The difference at QB is larger than your 7th spot, imo.

yeah that's what I was thinking as well. Thanks!I just picked up Kevin Smith and Antionio Bryant (released Torain and Avery).

i like both pickups

The guy game back and wanted MBIII for Brees or Cutler.What do you think of offering Slaton straight up for White or Jennings (owned by one team that has horrible RB's)?

Assuming that neither trade happens, who do you recommend I start?

Eli or Favre

MBIII, Portis, Forte, Slaton, Benson, K Smith

TJ Housh, Calvin Johnson, Burress, Cotchery, A Bryant

Need 2 RB, 3 WR, 2 RB/WR flex.

i would not give mb3 for the qb. I would definitely offer slaton for either of the wrs. if no trade, i would start:eli

mb3, forte, slaton

housh, calvin, burress, bryant

burress vs cotch is close ... at least plax gets tds

Jeff,Somebody just dropped Kevin Walter and I also noticed that Mark Bradley is available. Would you recommend picking up either player, and if so who would you drop? Would you recommend starting one in my current lineup?

Team is (starters in bold)

QB: Eli and Favre

RB: MBIII, Portis, Forte, Slaton, Benson, K Smith

WR: TJ Housh, Calvin Johnson, Burress, Cotchery, A Bryant

K: Prater

D: Steelers D

LJ should have a big game. Jones plays a tough run defense tonight. At WR, I think Calvin is an easy choice. WR2 is more difficult. Since your scoring weighs TDs heavy, I think I might gamble on Jenkins.

the weather is supposed to be bad/rainy tonight. I think I would prefer to wait until the weekend.

 

[finnmaccoul]

non PPR, 10 yds rush/rec=1 pt and all TDs=6, 25 ret yds=1pt

Need to start 3 WR...Santana Moss, Berrian, L Moore, TJ Housh, V Jackson, or Avery

Leaning towards Moss, Moore, and Avery based on matchups.

Also need 2 RB...MBIII, Lewis, or Norwood

Norwood's matchup is great, even with the split. That said, I'm starting MBIiI and Lewis as of now.

Thanks for the help

 

[Cabby]

12 team H2H auction Keeper. Keep 3 players for max of 3 years. Can keep unlimited number of rookies(salary depends on round taken 10 for 1st, 5 for 2nd, etc)

Scoring:

1 pt/25 yds passing

6 pts/rushing td

6 pts/catching td

1 pt/10 yrd receiving

1 pt/10 yds rushing

Basic scoring for DEF and K

Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 4 WR(TE's also WR), 1 K, 1 DEF.

QB- Schaub($1), Collins($1), Rosenfels($1)

RB- Lynch($48), Chris Johnson(5 years at 10/yr), Lewis($22), Maurice Morris($4), M. Bush, Jason Wright, Jerome Harrison, and Brad Jackson(all for $1)

WR- Moss($40), Calvin Johnson($20), Holmes($16), Chris Cooley($11) D. Mason($3), R. Brown($7),Sidney Rice(4)

Chris Henry($1)

K- Feely($1)

DEF- Jets($1)

Rookie Squad: Malcolm Kelly, Early Doucet, Josh Johnson

So, I had a rough start to the season but I might just be in a tie for first place in my division after this week. The trade dealine is the 15th and I think I need QB help the most. One guy has Rodgers($3) up for sale and he has a great playoff schedule although he is an injury concern. The same owner has Ronnie Brown who has a great playoff schedule as well. Him and Lynch would be a nice 1-2 punch but I do have Chris Johnson(do they rest him though?)

Here are some of my options:

Option 1- Rodgers($3) for Holmes($16) and a second round rookie pick. Personally, I think he is asking for a bit much, straight up for Holmes should be enough. I do like Holmes and he is cheap but so is Rodgers.

Options 2- Trade either Lynch($48) or Chris Johnson($10) and Holmes($16) plus rookie pick(3rd or 4th rd) for Ronnie Brown and Rodgers. I hate to give up Chris Johnson or Lynch. Although Lynch cost me a lot, that price might be a bargain next year.

I'm not sure what he would want for just Brown but I think my priority here is QB but the asking price is a bit much. Sure, Rodgers is cheap but Holmes is too. I like that I have Rice for cheap as a possible keeper(keep 3) or is he considered a keeper?

I would keep Lynch and make the move for Rodgers .... I know Brown has played well, but I would keep Lynch. Even at the price, I would not think you would keep Holmes anyway with Calvin,, Lynch, and Moss.

I made the trade for Rodgers here, giving up my second round rookie pick and Holmes(wasn't keeping him anyways). Now I have another decision. The Colston owner is willing to trade me Colston($32) for Jamal Lewis($22) and 1st round rookie pick. Should I pull the trigger? If I make the trade I am left with no rookie picks in the first two rounds, but Colston would be a nice addition and is a possible keeper(maybe instead of Moss?). Or should I just stand pat, hate to give up my first round pick too since I got a talent like Chris Johnson with it this year. Thanks

the good news is you have good options ...............lets start with the easy ones: Santana and MB3Need 2 more wrs: I agree on Avery and Moore, but Houshy is intriguingNeed 1 more rb: lewis vs norwood is tough. I would play lewis if you want safe numbers (8-10 points). Norwood has a shot a 5 or 25. Both are attainable. I think I might risk it on Norwood.

I would not do that deal. I love colston. And, I do think you need wr depth, and i would look for cheaper options. I just would not give up the pick. Anything decent on the waiver wire?

[tally]

Hi Jeff,

Okay, so I rather carelessly left Green-Ellis in my starting lineup but smartly (luckily?) also left Randy Moss off of it. EDIT: Okay, that might have been dumb too with that TD he got at the end of regulation.

Let's see if the rest of the lineup is salvageable...

Standard scoring, non-PPR

I've got three great matchups at WR (pick 2):

Roddy White (vs. DEN)

Wayne (vs. HOU)

DeSean Jackson (@CIN)

I hear Champ's back for Denver but he might be rusty. Do I keep riding my studs White and Wayne or take a flier on Jackson versus the shoddy Cincy D?

In my other league, I've got four WR with matchups that are nearly as good (pick 2):

Andre Johnson (@IND)

Colston (@KC)

Edwards (@BUF)

Anthony Gonzalez (vs. HOU)

I don't trust Edwards and especially since Brady Quinn looks to be Captain Checkdown and doesn't go downfield much.

Gonzalez has a great matchup assuming he's being targeted as the #2 WR for the Colts, but I'm not sure given how much Peyton keeps going to an obviously diminished Harrison.

Thanks again.

Jeff,

As you are probably painful aware of , with all my questions to you this year, here's my current roster:

Big Ben, M Ryan, Rosenfels

Westbrook, FWP, McGahee, Fargas, Norwood

S Smith, L Coles, A Bryant, Holt, K Curtis, Harrison

Fasano

Bironas

Ravens

I've just been offered Marion Barber & Philip Rivers for Westbrook, Matt Ryan & Ravens D.

what do you think??

I like it, depending on what defense you can pick up.

so, I also need to figure out my starters for this week. 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 Flex RB/WRI picked up M Moore and dropped Rosenfels.

I hope you have a response soon, since I'm debating whether I should have Coles in my lineup for tonight's game.

My dilemma is more whether to have either 2 or 3 RBs in my lineup this week.

Fasano

Bironas

Ravens

For the RB2, FWP vs Norwood is interesting to me. I think you start Parker if he keeps practicing. If not, Norwood could have a huge game as Denver is bad vs run

the other two WRs have tough matchups. I want to see a good game from Curtis before inserting him into a lineup. On Jones, I am afraid that Finnegan will matchup on him. Never know on Evans, but the Browns' pass defense allowed Cutler/Royal to have a big game last week.On the defense, I would go with Buff just because the other two are not good matchups.

Good afternoon.

Looking for advice on which two outta three RBs i should start this week between

1. Tim Hightower @ Seattle

2. Chris Johnson @ Jacksonville

3. MB3 @ Washington

Scoring is 1 pt per 10 yards rushing, 1 pt per 15 yards rec'ing, fractional points are awarded, PPR, 3 bonus points for reaching 100 yards rushing and bonus points for distance of TDs (6 points for rushing TD +3 for greater than 13 yds, +3 more for greater than 40 yds), rec'ing TD's worth minimum of 9 pts, same distance/points scaling as rushing.

Hightower and MB3 get goal line carries, but Johnson has the big TD ability. Looking for some help as this week begins division matchup week and i'm facing the other top team in my division (we're both 6-4). I won the first matchup of the year and this could put me in the lead for good.

Thanks for your help

Hi Jeff,

Okay, so I rather carelessly left Green-Ellis in my starting lineup but smartly (luckily?) also left Randy Moss off of it. EDIT: Okay, that might have been dumb too with that TD he got at the end of regulation.

Let's see if the rest of the lineup is salvageable...

Standard scoring, non-PPR

I've got three great matchups at WR (pick 2):

Roddy White (vs. DEN)

Wayne (vs. HOU)

DeSean Jackson (@CIN)

I hear Champ's back for Denver but he might be rusty. Do I keep riding my studs White and Wayne or take a flier on Jackson versus the shoddy Cincy D? Sit Jackson. Champ has not practiced much ... just once "limited"

In my other league, I've got four WR with matchups that are nearly as good (pick 2):

Andre Johnson (@IND)

Colston (@KC)

Edwards (@BUF)

Anthony Gonzalez (vs. HOU)

AJ and Colston

I don't trust Edwards and especially since Brady Quinn looks to be Captain Checkdown and doesn't go downfield much.

Gonzalez has a great matchup assuming he's being targeted as the #2 WR for the Colts, but I'm not sure given how much Peyton keeps going to an obviously diminished Harrison.

Thanks again.

good luck

Thanks!One more quickie. I have Slaton (@IND) and Westbrook (@CIN) going and Jacobs (vs. BAL) on my bench. But it looks like Slaton is wearing down some. Do you think Jacobs is worth a shot against that monster Baltimore run D or is Slaton's matchup too good to pass up?

Good afternoon.Looking for advice on which two outta three RBs i should start this week between1. Tim Hightower @ Seattle2. Chris Johnson @ Jacksonville3.

i would keep it like that ....jacobs is risky this week while the other two have good matchups

Hi Jeff, I tenatively offered Jacobs and Calvin Johnson for Forte and Jamal Lewis. what do you think?

12 redraft, no ppr, we start 2rbs, 2wrs, 1te and a flex rb,wr,te

I have currently:

Westbrook, Buckhalter, Jacobs, Ward, Chester Taylor

Andre Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Calvin Johnson, Lance Moore, Kevin Curtis

Owen Daniels, Billy Miller

So I get Forte and Jamal Lewis For Calvin and Jacobs. Seems like a good trade. Jacobs and Calvin have been very good.

Jacobs plays Phi, Dal, Car weeks 14, 15 16

Calvin plays Min, Ind, NO

Forte plays Jax, NO, GB

Lewis plays Ten, Phi, Cin

I am not sure if NYG resting Jacobs is a real concern or not. I still have Ward though. If I do it I would drop Billy MIller for Kev, Jones

I do not think I would do it. I think Lewis is not startable most weeks. So, it hurts your flex starter as Calvin is a very good starter most weeks. The playoff opponents for Jacobs are not tough.

Trying to decide between MJD or Hightower this week in a PPR league.

Jones-Drew faces a tough Titans defense while Hightower gets Seattle. I got a bit scared off last week with how bad Hightower played and how little they fed him the ball even though the game was close throughout. His ypc was awful against a very pedestrian defense of San Francisco.

 

[Breesisdaman]

I need to get points this week and am trying to brainstorm even the kicker position. I have Bironas but some one cut Jason Elam because he was listed as questionable. I like Elams matchup against his former team but is the hip really a concern? Any info is appreciated before I pick up Elam

I think elam plays. The one concern is that if his hip is bothering him enough that the team does not let him attempt long field goals. bironas against the jags is prob just as good of a matchup ... so i would not want to risk it with elam.

It was disappointing. But, since MJD has had a tough time putting two good weeks back to back, I would go with Hightower. I have MJD in a PPR league and I can say from experience how frustrating it has been.

 

[Big Rocks]

Hey Jeff,

Due to being in a smaller league, I have a glut of good RBs to choose from each week. My RBs are M. Barber, B. Jacobs, S. Slaton, W. McGahee, and L. Johnson. I have been riding Barber and Jacobs for most of the season, with spot starting from Slaton. I'm thinking of again playing Barber and Jacobs this week, but i'm worried about Jacobs vs. the Baltimore D. So with my RBs on the bench, would you still start Jacobs (and Barber), or would you play one of the backups? I am 6-4 and tied for 2nd place in the league, so I can afford the loss if necessary, though I obviously don't want to lose.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Jeff,

I’m relatively new to this game, just found your site this year, and have loved it! And now, I just realized the “Jeff Tefertiller option” was open for questions too! Man oh man; you FBG folks have all kinds of neat surprises!

I've sent several thoughts to "Trader Joe's", and wonder if this thread is something similar, but less focused on trades?

I love the idea of getting a second opinion about lineups and pickups, and want to confirm that this is what you do here. You sort of take on all comers and give your best insight?

Is that correct? (Very cool!)

And if so, any suggestions on format you like to see or protocol? Thanks!

PS – if that’s what you do, I have two simple questions! What does “bump” mean in many of the posts, and when I post a reply, how do I just send you just my question without you getting all the previous question and answer information with it? (How about those for simple questions!) Thanks again.

I think you start Barber for sure. Jacobs vs Slaton vs LJohnson is a little tougher. I think you go with Jacobs with the hopes of TDs in a low scoring, running game. But, it is close with all three.

In this thread, you can ask anything you want. It can be lineups, trades, waiver wire pickups ... anything. First of all, welcome to Footballguys. The thread started with me just accumulating stuff I liked and has evolved from there. Let me know if there is ever anything you need. Now, to the questions ...."bump" means that the thread moves to the top of the forum. For instance, if you post in a thread that is say on the 5th page of any of the forums, it will go to the top post of page one. Bump basically means to bump the thread back to the top of the front page. This works for all of the FBG forums. FYI, if you see "sehorn", it is someone being clever ... but still bumping the thread in there own way.

You can hit either "add reply" at the top or "fast reply" at the bottom.

Welcome again. Basically, ask anything and I will get to it as soon as I can ... same day most days.

Hey Jeff,

Been hit with a lot of injuries in one league and now stumped on who to start this week.

Scoring: 6pt all TD, 1pt/20yd pass, 1pt 10yd rush/rec, .5 PPR RB

Pick 2 QB

Delhomme vs. Detroit

Hill vs. StL

Rosenfels at Indy

Pick 1 RB

Pittman at SF

Betts vs Dal

Pretty sure I'm going with Delhomme and hopes he can rebound against a horrible Det defense. But can't decide between Hill and Rosenfels. I believe Rosenfels is the better QB but makes horrible decisions and is a turnover machine and Indy's D doesn't give up many passing TDs. Hill has looked ok and has a great matchup but will they run Gore all day and will StL even be in the game?

Pittman/Betts has me confused also. Pittman hasn't looked good but Haslett challenged him and they'll need to run to keep the game close. But StL has looked downright pitiful. Betts looks to start and can be a decent play but not sure if he's ready to handle a full load. And Betts plays the Sunday night game so if something changes, I'm SOL. Better to play it safe and go with Pittman?

Your thoughts?

TIA

I like Jake a lot this week. Many QBs have huge games vs Detroit. For QB2, I like Hill over Sage ... just because they are playing the Rams. The Colt defense is improved. I think I would risk it and play Betts. Dallas is horrible vs run. Maybe this is just me, but I do not see muhc upside in Pittman ... maybe 50-60 yards. Betts has much more upside.

Hi Jeff,

I thought I'd send you two questions to see what you think, and for me to get familiar with this thread option.

I like my team, have worked hard to get it to this point, and am probable for our playoffs. Lately though, my TE and K have been deplorable! I know you can't expect a ton of points from them each week, but blimey, they are leaving me high and dry! I'd hate to lose by a couple of points in these upcoming games and feel like I had a chance to do something that might help, but "stayed the course" for a few weeks too long!

So I have two questions.

1. Do you like sticking with Daniels at TE, or is one of the players on our WW a better option? Daniels forecasts well, but has only 1 point each of the last two games. Is he being phased out?

a. Options are Boss, Keller, Heap, Scaife, Lee, Stevens, Smith, Crumpler, Rosario, Smith, Martin, Royal, Peelle, Clark, Davis

2. Same for Scobee...he shows in my FBG weekly "Team WP" as the best of the lot for the next four weeks, but wowser, I'd hate myself if I didn't at least consider other options! A few weeks ago in “Kickermania”, Herman had him listed as the number 1 guy from there out, so I snapped him up! But he's fallen on hard times and isn't even in the top dozen now. Jax doesn't score a ton of points, so I wonder especially if Folk, Hartley, or Vinatieri, kickers on typically high scoring teams, might be better options than ol' Josh? I know nothing is certain, but I'd love your thoughts on how I might be able to better prepare myself for these very important next few games?

a. Options are Folk, Reed, Gould, Hartley, Lindell, Vinatieri, Carpenter, Brown, Suisham, Mare, Feely, Dawson, Josh Brown , Barth, Stover, Graham, Hanson, Janikowski

Thanks!

12 person redraft, no PPR, 1 point/25 yards passing, 4pts/passing TD, 1pt/10 yards rushing or receiving, 6pts/TD. Start 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1RB/WR flex, 1TE, 1K, 1DEF

My roster: QB P. Manning, Campbell, RB Lynch, Forte, Bush, J. Norwood, J. Charles, WR R. Wayne, A. Boldin, Galloway, TE Daniels, PK Scobee, Def Ravens, Panthers, Cowboys.

I thought I'd send you two questions to see what you think, and for me to get familiar with this thread option.

I like my team, have worked hard to get it to this point, and am probable for our playoffs. Lately though, my TE and K have been deplorable! I know you can't expect a ton of points from them each week, but blimey, they are leaving me high and dry! I'd hate to lose by a couple of points in these upcoming games and feel like I had a chance to do something that might help, but "stayed the course" for a few weeks too long!

So I have two questions.

1. Do you like sticking with Daniels at TE, or is one of the players on our WW a better option? Daniels forecasts well, but has only 1 point each of the last two games. Is he being phased out?

a. Options are Boss, Keller, Heap, Scaife, Lee, Stevens, Smith, Crumpler, Rosario, Smith, Martin, Royal, Peelle, Clark, Davis

2. Same for Scobee...he shows in my FBG weekly "Team WP" as the best of the lot for the next four weeks, but wowser, I'd hate myself if I didn't at least consider other options! A few weeks ago in “Kickermania”, Herman had him listed as the number 1 guy from there out, so I snapped him up! But he's fallen on hard times and isn't even in the top dozen now. Jax doesn't score a ton of points, so I wonder especially if Folk, Hartley, or Vinatieri, kickers on typically high scoring teams, might be better options than ol' Josh? I know nothing is certain, but I'd love your thoughts on how I might be able to better prepare myself for these very important next few games?

a. Options are Folk, Reed, Gould, Hartley, Lindell, Vinatieri, Carpenter, Brown, Suisham, Mare, Feely, Dawson, Josh Brown , Barth, Stover, Graham, Hanson, Janikowski

Thanks!

Scaife is the only one to consider. He has been playing well. The only issues is that if you drop Daniels, someone will prob nab him. He only has two catches total last two weeks. I expect an uptick if/when Schaub comes back ... but might be too late by then. In the end, I would prob risk it and get Scaufe. He looks good and gets catches every week ... especially when the Titans play with the lead.

Folk is the guy to have with Romo back. Last night, the Cowboys looked ragged, but have two creampuff matchups next up.
