Trying to decided last min. on this one-
Eli Manning vs Joe Flacco

I started Manning last week and regretted it, but he is playing SNF so I could watch the game, so I'm really on the fence.

Manning isn't a points scoring starter imho. He's more of an all-around safe bet, but NYG's points in the redzone will likely come on the ground. Flacco should be pretty decent this week too.

Yeah, that's the way I was leaning too- I'm going to start Flacco..now if only Warner would pick it up a bit...

You mean like that? 🙂

Argh, now I wish I started Hightower in both leagues.

Crappy thing that got me was not switching out Walter and Welker before games started, didn't get home in time to read/hear status update (learned my lesson 🙁).

Hey, don't feel bad. I took out 85 to start Burleson in one league. I also decided to start Slaton instead of Sproles in another. 🙁

129 points in my main ff leauge today, thanks gore.

 

[Nocturnal]

Man whoever had Chris Johnson freaking cranked big time. Most of the leagues that I'm in has the winner overall starting CJ. That's crazy. I started Greg Jennings and got 0 points on the day out of that guy. What a disappointment. I have Pierre Garcon starting tomorrow. I hope he performs well.

 

[Sentrosi2121]

I'm a co-owner of a FFL team. So I call the other owner and tell him we should really start the Jets D against the Patriots over starting Miami's D over the Colts. He argued that the Patriots are going to score at will against the Jets D. We chatted for about 15 minutes about this topic and he agreed. Thank god for that. Made up for a woeful Jennings start.

 

[krunchykrome]

Hah, I beat my opponent by 50+ points, and my #1 receiver didn't even get me a point (Greg Jennings).

I made a trade last week and so far I am pleased.

I traded Clinton Portis and Brandon Marshall for Roddy White and Ronnie Brown.

 

[lupi]

I got about 130 points, and got crushed. Damn you houston and those bastards with the QB & WR starting on their team.

 

[SunnyD]

Won one, lost one, and have 2 yet to finish. Of course out of the two left, there's only one player left in one from the opposing team in one league, and one in my team in the other. The former is about a 23 point spread with a TE left, the latter is a 32 point spread with my QB left. Too close to call, but I need a miracle from Manning to win the latter. The former, well, if that Manning miracle happens, then there's a strong chance I'll lose the former. Should be interesting tonight.

 

[Crono]

I want to make sexy time with Dallas Clark.

 

[geno]

Alright guys, I'm 2-0 with a slim win this week by 3 points. Woo.

I'm looking to make some moves regarding my WRs, here's my current lineup :

Anquan Boldin
Lee Evans
Wes Welker
Laverneus Coles

I'm considering bringing a 5th WR on and dropping my 5th RB (prob Ricky Williams) but only if I can pick up a good enough free agent. I'm considering Steve Smith. I'm surprised Smith is available, and my knee-jerk reaction is to snap him up ASAP. If SF continues to look good I might be tempted to gamble on Morgan. His % owned is very low for some reason (25%) which throws up a red flag...what am I missing?

I did the same thing, C. Johnson almost salvaged the week, I still went 2-1 though.

I've picked up Johnny Knox in two leagues since Cutler really seems to like targeting him.

And of course, Dallas Clark covered that 23 point spread. Fuck me.

 

[dougp]

Haha, haha, haha ... poor eits, he posted some smack talk saying he owned me because some of my guys just shit all over my roster. Then last night, Ronnie Brown made the Colts his bitch - Wayne and Addai didn't do crap and he ended up losing by less than 4 points.

 

[krunchykrome]

Looks like my trade last week is paying off. I traded Clinton Portis and Brandon Marshall for Ronnie Brown and Roddy White.

My team is as follows:
QB Matt Ryan
WR Greg Jennings
WR Roddy White
RB Frank Gore
RB Ronnie Brown
RB/WR Tim Hightower
TE Greg Olsen
K Nick Folk
DEF Saints

BENCH
RB Marshawn Lynch
WR Percy Harvin
WR Chris Henry
RB Felix Jones
QB Matt Hasselbeck
WR Hank Baskett

No offense to everyone else, but are they all retarded or not interested in FF?

That's a crazy team for a 10 person league, let alone a 14 person league.

I recently traded for Ronnie Brown and Roddy White. Im not sure how I ended up with such a stacked team.

 

[endervalentine]

Got a trade proposal - I get Felix Jones, he gets Brett Favre. I'm okay on the QB front, current have Brees and Flacco.

My RB section is pretty weak - Not sure if he'll bite but should I try to go for Westbrook instead of Felix Jones?
I know Westbrook is injured and it's on the same ankle he had surgery on ...

Thomas Jones NYJ
Derrick Ward TB
Jamal Lewis Cle
Petyon Hilis Den
Glen Coffee SF

I believe that Barber and Westbrook sustained some sort of injuries last week. Hillis is useless, and Coffee ... well, he's useless until Gore gets injured.

 

[dougp]

Barber will be out for a few - looks like he pulled a muscle.

yeah, I'm looking to pick someone else up in place of Hillis, and yeah I'm keeping Coffee in case Gore gets hurt. We're in a 14 men league and there's hardly anyone to pick up.

Any thoughts on the trade proposal?
I get Felix Jones, and he gets Brett Favre? I'm okay w/ giving up Favre, I have Brees and Flacco as backup.
