Should I start
McGahee vs NYG

Cooley vs Dal?

I'm leaning towards cooley, but McGahee's had some decent games recently...

The Giants have a tough D. I would go with Cooley.

Yeah that's the other thing I was looking at, I doubt McGahee will get much vs their D...I guess I'm always skiddish playing TE's in general, I've been through a few this year and never get much production from them. Here's to hoping Cooley breaks the pattern

Cooley is going to be key if the Skins hope to win... and they better win... I'll be there with a hog nose on screaming like a banshee

I could use some advice going into the home stretch:

Pick two for RB's:
Hightower vs. Seattle
Jacobs vs. Baltimore
Larry Johnson vs. NO

Pick three for Receiver:
Calvin Johnson vs. Carolina
Jennings vs. Chicago
Antonio Bryant vs. Minnesota
Santana Moss vs. Dallas

Seattle's D sucks... B'More's D rocks the house... Larry Johnson will be playing with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove.

Chicago's Pass D is wussy, Moss usually lights up Dallas... see my Cooley reasoning above..

I had second thoughts on Jacobs and tried to rearrange my lineup but missed the cutoff before the game started.

1st quarter and he has 50 yards and 2 TD's.

:(

And he's on the bench.

Yeh, WTF is up with that? Yielding a goal line carry to JJ Arrington? Good lord. Did he sleep with the coache's wife or something?

He was my other start. What a horrible week my team has put up and some miserable management on my part...when I really needed the points too.

Bah!

I'm down by 19 in my h2h matchup...All my opponent's players have played, do you guys think Lee Evans and Braylon Edwards can make up 20 points?

Depends on how your scoring works, but that seems very possible.

ooh yea shoulda made that clear, i guess its standard scoring:
every 10 receiving yards = 1 point
every TD = 6 points
turnover = -5 points

holy fvck this is the most frustrating fantasy football season i've ever had.

4-7. 8th out of 12 teams. second highest scoring team in the league. 5 of my losses have come against a team's highest scoring week of the year.

league leader is 8-3. I swap my schedule with theirs and I'm 8-3, they're 3-8. wah wah waaaaaaaaaah

Need some help here on who to start.

For my Flex spot I can either start:

Ryan Grant vs. Chi
or
Dwayne Bowe vs. NO

Chicago has one of the top D's so far this year and have been great against the run. Grant has only rushed for over 100 yards once this year and it was against IND.
Bowe has been pretty consistent all year but hasn't scored a TD lately. I believe he has 1 TD in the past 6 games (3 total) but he does have 48 receptions with 613 yards receiving.


Go with Bowe. Chicago's secondary is weak and Aaron is going to be passing all day. NO's defense is weak all over and Thigpen is playing like a first tier QB. Bowe/Gonzalez will probably have a field day.

Bowe has a pretty good day (24 points) but Grant decides to have the best game of the season (37 points) against one of the best run D's in the league.

I had both Grant and Cassel on my bench (93 points) and still beat my opponent by 35! :)
9-2 and in first place despite making a trade that probably could have blown the whole season for me (Burress/S.Smith (Car) for B.Edwards/Palmer).

What a bastard! The only week I didn't check my lineup before game time and see this crap. Could have at least switched him for someone who was playing. Only consolation is that unless I picked up a kicker who got about 25 points, I still would have lost.

Need to pick one RB or WR for Flex position. I'm leaning toward Kevin Walter, but not really sure who to play.

Bench:
Kevin Walter
Tim Hightower
Ted Ginn Jr.
Jonathan Stewart
Joey Galloway
Dominic Rhodes
Chester Taylor

Thats a nobrainer... Hightower all day long

Whoops

Yes!!!:thumbsup:

How can you not go with Moss after Cassel's last performance? It looks like NE is finally letting Matt air it out.
