Thanks, I'm sure I'll be over it by the time I submit my lineup but I seriously don't get these coaches who don't run their meal ticket when they play on the road. Alexander was just getting started last week and the Jags were bringing all kinds of pressure so what does Holmgren do, throw the ball?True, but I think Holmgren realizes that was a mistake and run him ALOT more. Also, if Westbrook is able to amass over 100 total yds and a td vs ATL. Just think what Alexander will do with that O-line...I read you, I am still a little miffed at Holmgren for completely ignoring him in the 2nd half last week when he was averaging over 6 yards a carry and they still had the lead.
I hope you're right that Holmgren has learned his lesson but it shouldn't take this long.

I'm debating who to start @ WR2. Chambers vs Ty Law, TJ Housh, Drew Bennett vs Baltimore, Galloway or Matt Jones. Also thinking about benching Curtis Martin in favor of Larry Johnson in 2 leagues. 
Thinking about benching Dom Davis vs Pitt in favor of Tatum bell.In another league I'm debating my WR3 slot. Engram, Fergie, Battle or grab C. Rogers or Calico off the ww & drop one of those guys.

Dunno if Bailey is playing or not. Last I heard he was a GTD. Regardless, Bailey rarely covers McCardell even when healthy. Denver put him on Gates and Gonzo when playing SD and KC last season. It's also worth noting that Gates and Gonzo both put up two of their worst outings of the year against Denver. I suppose this week we'll see how much of it was Bailey and how much was Denver's stud LBs.I like McCardell vs. Bailey with an injured shoulder

Yeah and the Denver D also had one of it's worst outings vs. Miami, which is a very suspect offense.. Even if Bailey will cover Gates, McCardell should post better numbers than the other options you have available to you..Dunno if Bailey is playing or not. Last I heard he was a GTD.

Benching DJax in favor of Fitz.DJax had a touchdown, but I can't ignore the tough matchup and the insane number of targets Fitz got last week.We'll see, I guess.

The Denver-Miami game was played in 100 degree heat and 80% humidity. The score was 6-3 until Denver lost its top 3 CBs. Miami didn't really start scoring until Denver was forced to use their CB4 and their backup Safety at the two starting corner spots. I wouldn't take a whole lot from Denver's defensive performance against Miami. At least, not the second half of it. I think the first half was pretty indicitive of what to expect from Denver this season.Don't get me wrong. I'm high on McCardell, but you have to keep in mind 2 things. First, last week was played without Gates and was the first game of LT2's career that he didn't record a reception, and second, Denver's defense was seriously undermanned last week. I think I'm currently leaning towards Engram, since it's PPR and I think he's the guy most likely to get his receptions (I see McCardell losing a lot of his to Tomlinson and Gates).

Well I just picked up FWP, who gets a weak Houston D this week.Who to bench in a start 2 RB league (guppie - so I'm stacked) is a thread on it's own, but Edge, Dillon, or McAllister are getting the unexpected pine this week.
I think the Gates factor will only increase McCardell's value this week. Denver know's that the Chargers are dying to get Gates back in the line-up, and get him the ball. So, Denver will have him in double and triple coverage sometimes, taking him away, and that will free up space for McCardell to make plays (Similiar to how the Chargers played Witten last week, limiting him to 1 catch for 12yds). Just because LT2 didn't touch the ball last week, doesn't mean they'll purposely pass him the ball to increase his reception totals. Their goal is to have LT touch the ball, whether it's a rec or a rush, it really doesn't matter, he will get his yardage/td's regardless of how they get him the ball. I guess i'd rather start a WR that's #1 on the depth chart as opposed to Engram who's #2.

This is my exact dilemma as well. I keep going back and forth between DD and LJ. I also have Dunn sitting on my bench, who will probably remain there until the bye weeks for the starters.I break it down as follows: DD is the only option on a miserable Texans offense (double coverage takes Andre Johnson away). LJ is one of many options on an explosive KC offense.
I'm still stuck
help?

That's why I'm tempted to start both of them and bench Westbrook. But as sure as I do that...

All that dancing must have worn him out.Just made up my mind. My opponent this week had Parker and dropped him after about 8 minuets.

LJ: Larry Johnson or Lamont Jordan?
Denver is the best team in the league at neutralizing the TE. They really shut down Gonzo and Gates both last season. They've also got the fastest and most athletic LB corps in the league- arguably the best overall. I fail to see why we should be drawing the conclusion that they're going to make the same mistake this week that San Diego made last week- especially against a guy that they routinely shut down. 2 of Gates' 3 lowest yardage outputs last season came against Den, and he failed to record a TD. And McCardell? His lowest yardage output last season also came against Den, where he went 2/15/0.Bobby Engram is the #2 WR on the depth chart in Seattle. He's also the #2 receiving option on the team. McCardell is the #1 WR, sure, but he's the #3 receiving option. And Engram plays for a much better passing offense. Again, I'm reasonably high on McCardell, but I'm higher on Engram. Especially in PPR, where Engram is assured of getting his.
Can't decide who to drop. Battle, Fergie, Braylon Edwards or Engram. (keeper league):X on both of them. Pick up Rogers asap.Calico dropped for BookerRogers dropped for Fris Jackson. :XWhy?

Keep 4 and P. Manning, Kj & L. Jordan will be 3 of them.Drop Engram over Battle. I see Engram w/better stats at the end of the year in that Seattle offense.

Over the last 3 years Rod Smith averaged 179 FFpoints vs McCardle's 154
I'd say they are alot more comparable to one another than you would have us believe. Also, McCardle is the #1 WR. They do throw to the TE and the RB but who doesn't.

Funny, in my 14 teamer, my distaste for Martz has me benching Jackson against a juicy Cards defense in favor of Caddy against the tought Bills D. Why?Because Caddy will get his share of carries, and can easily break one. I'm a Bills homer, but their D isn't as good as advertised IMO. Solid yes, great NO. As for Jackson, you just don't know if Martz will give him the carries to dominate.
The fact that the Bucs are my 2nd favorite team, AND I'm flying down to Tampa for the game this weekend may have played a part on my Caddy selection, but it's more Gruden's mancrush for the kid than anything else. Cadyy WILL get his carries.
My other back is Julius, and I drafted him because of Parcell's preference to give him loads of carries. He's got a tough matchup at home against the Skins. But I like the Cowboys this week, and like Caddy, Julius will get his carries regardless.
It's all about touches and targets in FF IMO. The more your guy touches the ball, the better chance he has to be successful.

I have to choose two between Ronnie Brown, M. Anderson, Taylor and Caddy.I'm leaning towards Taylor and Caddy. But if Anderson is indeed healthy I might look at replacing Caddy. I drafted him to be my #1... but against Buffalo?And man, Brown against the Jets. The Jets D did look weak last week.

start one between: K. Curtis, Reggie Williams, or Joey GallowayReggie plays Indy. Jax will be playing catchup.Or K. Curtis vs. Arizona. I'll switch back and forth about 4 times before kickoff.
