    Final couple of the games for the regular season for most... I estimate I need two wins and high scoring weeks to have a shot at #2 position. I currently will have 27 after the conclusion of tonight's Monday night football.  Probably need a combination of one win or two decent scoring weeks with two losses to make the playoffs. Very competitive 6 teams vying for 4 bids. Have at least a 4 VP margin over the team 5th team currently being snubbed and 5 VP margin over the 6th team
     
    VP's?  Leagues I use are called  Victory Points combined over the season you get 2 for every win, 2 points every week you finish 1-4 in total points, and 1 point 5-8 in total points.
     
    Great system for determing the best 6 for the playoffs 
     
    Pretty easy week for me: I'm going with Brees in the dome versus Green Bay instead of Warner against the Giants.
     
    Going 2 RB's C. Johnson against the NYJ and Barber against San Fran.
     
    Going 2 WR's Megatron (CJ) against Bucs and Driver against the Saints suspect D
     
    Matt Jones was he suspensed... 0 points last week
     
    D. Mason goes against Philly but keeping him on the bench unless you can convince me he is more deserving then Driver.
     
    R. Williams sighting but clearly looks like Cowboys may have a new committed role in running the ball with Barber ....  Yes
     
    Scafie TE
    Akers K
    Tampa Bay D against the   Lions

    Hey BP
    M.Jones was injured not suspended yet

    questions this week
    Colston has been a bum for me this year and I have Walter or A.Gonzalez waiting in the wings do I bench Colston vs GB and use one of the other 2?
    also I picked up Boss in my pool he got me a bagel should I hold onto him or gas him for Keller?

    as far as ROY E. goes he is no better than Miles Austin on that team he is definitely the 3rd option, 4th if you include Barber through the air, basically he will be T.O's heir apparent

    Homegrown-  I had a feeling Colston was going to be lost in the shuffle of offensive options in the New Orleans offense during the preseason. The injury layoff hasn't helped with his value either.. If you recall we had a discussion on who to draft between A Johnson, Colston and TJ.... I felt TJ was the best choice because he is clearly the #1 although Chad Johnson still usually draws the best cover corner. A Johnson was to much of an injury risk.... Anyway hindsight is always perfect.
     
    I honestly think as bad as Colston's production has been it will still be better than anything you will get with Walter or Gonzalez... 1st home game in the dome in weeks, he is healthy now. Expect an aeriel assault by Brees
     
    I am going to make a move for Keller after two good weeks of production, He is becoming the free open man with attention to Thomas Jones, Cotchery and Coles.   I am going to drop Devery Henderson who I really kind of had him stored on my bench while Colston and Patten were missing time with injuries....Not sure if I will get him but will send in a bid.... I suggest you make the move this week ( I know I said not to pick him up smelled like a one week wonder, but my how fantasy football changes on a week to week basis)
     
    umgmu- I would have a hard time sitting D. Jackson for any of the other 3 WR options... He still remains involved in the Philly offense even with the return of Curtis.

    Would you drop Steve Breaston to pick up Mark Bradley?
     
    QB this week: Orton, Thigpen, or Quinn?
     
    My lack of WR production killed me this week. Cotchery was good but Colston and Jenkins did little. Breaston and Roy Williams on my bench did nothing too. Think I'm going with Cotchery, Colston, and Williams this week.

    Clutch- Let's start with the QB question I would not even struggle with this one... I'd go with Orton against the interim Defensive Coodinator- Rick Venturi... The same Venturi that was Haslett's D Coordinator with the Saints and were #32 in the league and managed to save his job and followed him to St. Louis.
     
    Rumor here was Haslett was balling a few of the Saintsations and not sure how Venturi is linked in ... but he has followed Haslett ever since.
     
    Clutch I know how you feel with Roy Williams biggest bust of my draft this year got him in Round 4 ... It may be time to let Breaston go, Saw the whole KC/NO game Bradley did not get as many looks as I expected for someone who had done well with scoring the past few weeks prior.  I might give him a chance
     
    Colston I think will have a big week in the return to the dome after an eternity since that Oakland/NO game .

    FYI...miles austin is out...not a big fan of roy but he may get a boost in value.
     
    bustin....tough call at TE....I've been looking at different options at QB, I have favre, I don't know how good of a game he has.....that being said, favre has always loved his TE's and keller looks like he's finally getting some looks. Keller is worth the shot.
     
    I'm not a big fan of scafie, so I'd lean to keller.

    I like to base my decisions on how the previous week's TE did vs the the current team my TE is facing

    Tenn gave up 1 catch for 19 yards to M.Lewis last week is it b/c no M.Jones or do the Tenn lb's cover well?
    whereas
    B.Watson had a huge day vs NYJ including a td
    I realize there are other variables involved but in order to get some what of an idea.
    we all try to make educated guess on how things will shape out almost impossible but as long as you can back up why you made the decision then at least you can live with it regardless of outcome

    hey BP check out my thread maybe you can add comment

    homegrown....an interesting trend to see (and I honestly don't know the answer to this but I will see if I can find out) is if a team gets beat up by a TE one game....how do they fair the next game...do they continue that trend of giving up big games to TEs or do they make adjustments to it and clamp down on opposing TEs??
     
    let me know if you dig anything up and ll do the same.

    Thanks BP. Orton was definitely my first choice at QB.
     
    Went ahead and dropped Breaston to pick up Bradley. I'm going to give Roy Williams a shot though so Bradley and Jenkins will be on the bench for the time being.
     
    As far as your TE question, don't know how the Titans have done against TE's but being a Jets fan I know that TE's have been good for 50 -70 yards and a possible TD against them in about half their games. Watson just had a good game against them in the Thurs. NE game. Royal got his when they played Buffalo. Zach Miller/Oak. Gonzalez/KC. Fasano/Miami. Tough call though considering how Keller has become Favre's go-to guy.

    Big win for me last week thanks to braylan getting more than 6 points which brings me to 6-5 and right in the mix for the playoffs.  I need to win at least 2 of the last 3 games.

    QB: Thigpen vs. Buff, Garcia @ DET, or Quinn vs. Hou

    RB: Westbrook @ Balt and Pittman vs. Chi, or McGahee vs. Phi, Bush vs. GB (really waiting on Bush status)

    WR: Fitzgerald vs. NYG and Edwards vs. Hou or Williams @ AZ, Holmes vs. Cin

    TE: Daniels 

    K: Elam vs. Car (3rd ranked scoring Def)

    Def: NYG (could pick up Dal vs. SF)

    Im not too sure who I like between Thigpen and Garcia.  RB situation is HURT; lucky I grabbed Pittman off waivers and might have to roll with him.  Edwards should continue to get looks and just have to ride him out.  Daniels hasnt looked good since Sage took over but missed out on Keller off waivers.  Elam been all right but play a tough D; could get Bryant @ Det but he is on waivers until friday because someone just dropped him.

    Mgut- I think I go Ronnie Brown 1st he had a huge day against New England early in the season and Grant against a very soft NO D (however they play better against the rub then the pass) I shelf M-Jones Drew against the #2 Minn rush D
     
    jw1ls- I'd be leary of Garcia had good numbers with 255 but no TD's. Everybody can run against Detroit so why pass...Carolina 2 backs over 100 yards last week and outproduced Delhomme with passing yards ... I think they are still playingit safe with Quinn ... So I think I lean with Thigpen.
     
    Ugh...Westbrook has terrible matchup(but can you real bench your stud( Not in my book)  McGahee has lost too many touches to the other backs and I would have to pass with him. So no practice reports thus far on Saints keep ane eye on them at kffl breaking news. SJax has been ruled out this week by team so Pittman may need to play be default.
     
    Fitz and Edwards
     
    Elam may still do fine, remember just becuase they are a good defense it may mean fewer Td's and more FG's ...I'm kind of liking Akers who is on my team for this week.
     
    Situationally Arizona is one of the highest scoring offenses and NY Giants best defenses.  Correct me if I'm wrong but usually the better D prevails in these kind of tilts. Dallas may do OK against Frisco but this team seems to be playing a little better with O'Suckyman benched and new HC Singletary.  I probably stay with Giants but lukewarm here,

    Check out these headlines pertaining to some of you guys.
     

    Browns | Quinn cleared to play despite fractured finger
    Thu, 20 Nov 2008 09:37:48 -0800

    The Associated Press reports Cleveland Browns QB Brady Quinn (finger) has been cleared to play in Week 12 despite breaking his right index finger in Week 11. Cleveland initially thought Quinn bruised his hand after banging it on the helmet of a Buffalo Bills player last week, but X-rays taken after practice Wednesday, Nov. 19, revealed a fracture on the tip of his finger. Quinn was still able to grip the ball during practice, according to head coach Romeo Crennel, and Quinn will wear a splint when he is not on the field.

    Bengals | C. Johnson deactivated for Week 12
    Thu, 20 Nov 2008 07:45:08 -0800

    ESPNews reports Cincinnati Bengals WR Chad Johnson has been deactivated for the Bengals' Week 12 game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, Nov. 20, for an unspecified violation of team rules.

    Could not find any information on Bush at this point ?
     
    Hutch-  Able to get back with you soon slow week in the office with holiday approaching next week.
     
    I think Hill he will do OK in certain spots. Not sure this will be a great week at Dallas a team that seemed to be playing with more urgency on Sunday night.... I have visions of D Ware sacking him about 3 times .
     
    Pittman to my knowledge is fine and not on the Rams injury report, however it is SJax who is officially out for this week. Had 95 yards but was also playing SF, this week #6  rush D of Bears.

    Browns | Quinn cleared to play despite fractured finger
    Thu, 20 Nov 2008 09:37:48 -0800

    The Associated Press reports Cleveland Browns QB Brady Quinn (finger) has been cleared to play in Week 12 despite breaking his right index finger in Week 11. Cleveland initially thought Quinn bruised his hand after banging it on the helmet of a Buffalo Bills player last week, but X-rays taken after practice Wednesday, Nov. 19, revealed a fracture on the tip of his finger. Quinn was still able to grip the ball during practice, according to head coach Romeo Crennel, and Quinn will wear a splint when he is not on the field.

    Bengals | C. Johnson deactivated for Week 12
    Thu, 20 Nov 2008 07:45:08 -0800

    ESPNews reports Cincinnati Bengals WR Chad Johnson has been deactivated for the Bengals' Week 12 game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, Nov. 20, for an unspecified violation of team rules.

    Could not find any information on Bush at this point ?

    Brees & Warner in the same league. Thats nice
    I have a 1 QB league where I have Warner and Cutler. I have that regular season title on lockdown but still want to win out and set my own record of 14 wins. Which one of the 2 do you start this week? Cutler?
    Also starting Tampa D in that league. I see a pick 6 coming this weekend.
     
    Have Megatron in another league and I kinda have a man crush on him (not as big as the one I have on Boldin though).

    Saints | Bush practices but still uncertain for Week 12
    Thu, 20 Nov 2008 17:19:47 -0800

    Larry Holder, of the Biloxi Sun-Herald, reports New Orleans Saints RB Reggie Bush (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 20. He practiced without a knee brace for the second straight week, instead wearing a sleeve. He sounded optimistic when asked about his Week 12 status, which is still up in the air.
