Fantasy Talk Week #7

Team that was 1-3 is now 3-3 

 

Team that was 4-0  is now 4-2

 

But hey that is Fantasy football...

 

This week RB #1 Marion Barber

This week WR #1 Calvin Johnson

This week WR #2 Driver

Flex spot can go Chris Johnson (lean) or elsewhere?

 

L. White, Deuce  Not high on these choices as both only likely to get points on goalline plunges.

 

Devery Henderson... Not liking Colston should return this week.

New acquistion Derrick Mason...

Roy Williams (Now a Cowboy ) But how much will he be part of the offense in one week ?

 

Post your questions here and I'll sort through them as time permits

 

i have roy will. and t.o. is it good to have 2 wrs from same team. i think roys stats will be better in dal then in det

thekid- I wouldn't be afraid to have to receivers on the same team if they are an explosive offense. Look at the success Boldin/Fitzgerald have had.

 

The problem here in this offense is they have too many guys to get the ball too Barber, TO, Witten , Felix Jones when he returns and now Roy Williams. Truly a nightmare to defend, but some weeks the production may be very lean.

 

I'm strongly considering holding him out of my roster until I see how often he will be utilized in the offense and how quickly he learns it in the next 2-3 weeks.

 

I think I would take my chances with Orton this week personally. Minn D is one of the toughest and although that is what the Bears are going to want to do... I just think it is going to be lean yars for Forte. I think they will need to exploit the vulnerable MInn pass D that was susceptible to big plays as seen against the NO Saints.

 

Gosh I really hate McGahee but think he and L. White are probably your best chances.

 

What about Campbell you dont think he can put up good numbers against the Browns, Cle coming off big win and great DEF pass performance I think that will lead to mistakes this week, also Minn pass de only getting better as the weeks go on, but it is a tuff call Orton is on fire right now and Cliton Portis is 2 and getting the TDs in WASH. ahhh need win

And probally going to not get much points out of Mcgahe or White

Eli Manning or Matt Schaub -leaning Schaub

 

Should I start Colston this week with Boldin hurt and Desean Jackson on a Bye ..

 

Should I also start Lance Moore with Chambers very questionable ..

umgmu - Here is the latest on Colston

 

Saints | Colston limited in practice Wednesday
Wed, 15 Oct 2008 16:47:59 -0700

Larry Holder, of the Biloxi Sun-Herald, reports New Orleans Saints WR Marques Colston (thumb) was limited in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15, and head coach Sean Payton is optimistic Colston can play Week 7.

I'd go with him... just make sure to check the inactives prior to gametime. Besides both Jackson and Boldin are on Bye.

Lance Moore has been getting most of the looks the last few weeks from Brees but that will probably change if Colston gets in the lineup. Injury report from the Chargers showed Chambers did not practice Wednesday. Likely if he doesn't practice either Thursday or Friday he won't play.

But the way Brees is throwing the ball around I wouldn't mind starting Colston and Moore on my team if I had them both

I think both Eli and Schaub both have good weeks so hopefully it becomes a moot point. But just looking at the matchups Texans going against the #30 Pass D of the Lions looks better IMO.

Any ideas on Roy Williams???  I have him to and not sure if I should start him.  How much can he really be involved after a week of practices?  I do feal that Jerry Jones will want him to have a great first game just to prove a point.  He is my third option behind Jennings and Lee Evans, my problem is that after Roy Williams I have a substantial drop off.  My other options if he doesnt sart would be:  Antonio Bryant, Dean Branch (?) Donnie Avery....  I kind of want to start Avery, but that is just because I am a Rams Homer!  What are your thoughts??

I don't think we could see that much from Roy Williams in less than a week. I am sitting him until I get a better feel for his involvement in the offense personally.

 

Donnie Avery has seen some balls in his last two games. I think I would go with him. Branch was inactive again last week and A. Bryant is a hit & Miss proposition.

 

 

 

definitely go with chris johnson (KC is one of the worst run D's i believe)

 

heres mine: 1 of each

 

QB: orton or anderson

RB: mcgahee, mcclain, sproles, or perry

TE: daniels or miller

blaineg- I like M Moore > than L White and Mcgahee.

 

I personally think L White is only good for maybe a 1 yard plunge if he gets one.

 

Smith had a good game last week but does lightening strike twice?, probably safer to go with McGahee as 2nd flex as I did not see him on the injury report

 

Jw1ls-  I like Orton as I think the Bears will need to throw against the Vikings tough run D.

 

Luke warm endorsement for McGahee... Boy you guys really must have liked him as a fantasy choice ... I have very low on my draft board > 3rd round.

 

I love Daniels as a TE..Wish I would have drafted him.... He is a great value late pick up and I personally only have a few TE's I like better than him.

 

those were my leans as well.

 

mcgahee slid to me in the 5th round so i felt like i had to take him but this will be the first week that i have to play him (westbrook/buckhalter and reggie bush are my starters)

Hi...here's my RB and WR issue...need to choose the best 2nd RB and 3rd WR:

 

Also starting:

I'd probably have hard time benching Portis.... Nice dillema to have with RB"s.  The thing you have to worry about Chris Johnson is White taking the goalline plunges.

 

Wow I think I honestly play Driver...With the Saints you never know who is going to get the ball. Hard to not think Texans will be content to run against Lions. Mason is a solid possesion receiver but I think Driver is a more viable TD proposition.

 

 

 

Going to bed ... Won't have time to repsond to questions in AM.

 

Good luck hope the advice I've offered works out for you guys
