***OFFICIAL*** 2010 Fantasy Football General Q&A

[Kelvrick]

Ugggh... Why does Dallas pay Miles Austin again?

 

[SunnyD]

Wonders never cease! I got myself a new QB on trades today...

And it's official. Traded Wes Welker for Eli Manning. Despite the somewhat tasty matchup Schaub has against the Jags coming up this week, my guess is they're going to feed it to Foster all day long. Hey Matt... go ride the pine. Eli is going to Dallas this week...

 

[shocksyde]

Anyone think DeAngelo Williams will be good to go this week?

D-Will is useless period. Without anyone completing passes to Steve Smith, the box gets stacked and the running game goes nowhere. There's a reason why Carolina has been getting blown out weekly. If you have another option, it's likely a better play regardless of D-Will's health.

I picked up the Tampa D this morning...

There is a curse on my ATOT auction league team. First Romo goes down, now Stafford. This isn't ideal, especially considering I had miles austin and calvin johnson haha

:awe:

Atleast Stafford had a decent game before getting injured.. Schaub has been netting me 10ish points for the past 4-5 weeks it seems. 😡

Speaking of... good point...

Anyone was brag or commiserate how they are doing so far in their league(s)?

We have 4 weeks left before playoffs...after last night, I am 5-3-1 and in 3rd place in our ten team league...Hillis has been my best mid-season pickup...the top guy in our league is probably gonna win. he is 8-1 and has a johnson, r wayne, d jacskon (PPR league as well), a foster and eli...funny that the last place team in our league is 2nd most highest scoring team (1 point less than the 1st place team) but he has allowed the most points...

8-1 and 4-5

Both leagues I am now 2nd in overall points by about 10. Guys like Arian Foster, LT, Austin Collie, and Steve Johnson have been money for me. Dwayne Bowe has come on nicely for me in recent weeks as well. Brandon Marshall, on the other hand, can go fist himself. Randy moss, too.

Tied for 1st by record (7-2), 2nd by points (down by ~15 points overall) in dougp's league.

Different story in my league where everyone was complaining after the draft that my team was stacked beyond belief. I'm sitting at 3-6 on a 2 game win streak, 11th in the league (out of 12) and last in the division. Interestingly, I'm the only one in my division that won this week. For the record, dougp is 7-2 and commands 1st in his division as well as the entire league.

My wife is tied for first (2nd by points) in the division at 6-3, and 3rd overall in the league. This week looks to be another painful week for her coming up though.

I'm in the hunt in both the ATOT leagues I'm in.. 6-3 in the ESPN one, 7-2 in the PPR league.

The PPR league has a number of good teams which could blow anyone out on any given Sunday.. so its been pretty fun.

The ESPN league I'm just hanging on by a thread and it shows in my total points for and against.

Also in an 18-man league which I'm in third place.. man that league is exciting and frustrating at the same time. Its really all about picking up the right guy off the wire.

 

[vi edit]

le sigh.

Yet another week where I'm 2nd highest points scored in the leage of 12 teams. Only to have the top scorer be matched up to me. I could be like 7-2. But instead I'm 2-7.

Bah.

same here. my atot league team is pretty good except it got off to a slow start and keeps going against the top scorer of the week or lose by less than 5 points. leading the league in points against by a good margin. 2-7 record

but in my auction league with IDPs i'm in first place with a 7-1 record even with a slew of injuries. point totals is like a perfect storm. leading the league in PF and 2nd to last in PA.

I've got 60 points more against me than the next closest team. And then there's another 80 points between that guy and the next.

So I've got almost 140 points more against me than 10 other teams. That's almost 15 points a week difference. And I've lost a couple easily in that range.

I'm fourth overall in points for.

 

[slayer202]

ATOT auction league, I'm 6-3 in 3rd place. The standings are fairly spread out, and the points vs. records are pretty accurate so thats good.

In my main league I'm tied at 5-4 with 2 other teams. There are 3 teams at 6-3. I'm first in points so I'm currently 4th in the standings. I reallllly want to make the playoffs, I need a win this week to give me a huge boost

 

[AMDZen]

Work league = 3-6-0 (9/10)

ATOT league = 6-3-0 (4/12)

Friends league = 7-2-0 (2/16)

Another friends, auction league = 9-0-0 (1/10)

I'm getting killed in my work league but, oh well I guess.

 

[Connoisseur]

Need some week 10 advice. My team is pretty decimated for week 10 as I have Colston, James Jones and BJax on bye with Collie most likely out for this week and Kenny Britt out for (effectively) the season. I'm looking to pick up Nate Washington off of of waivers. Without him my current Roster:
QB Schaub
RB AP
RB Felix Jones
RB/WR Brandon Lafell
WR Steve Smith (CAR)
WR Roy E. Williams
WR Steve Johnson
WR/TE Marcedes Lewis
TE Dustin Keller

Bench:
Colston
BJax
Vernon Davis
James Jones
Cassel
Austin Collie
Britt

With Washington my WK 10 team is still severely lacking. I'm looking to trade for a WR and RB so I have decent players this week.

Think Colston and Vernon Davis for Steve Smith (Giants) and Knowshon Moreno are fair trades this week? Damn espn for not having a preview option so I can easily compare stats.

Comments on my line-up appreciated (as always!)

PPR League.

QB - Orton - KC
RB - DeAngelo Williams - @TB
RB - Rashard Mendenhall - NE
RB/WR - Hines Ward - NE
WR - Percy Harvin - @CHI
WR - Davone Bess - TEN
TE - Dustin Keller - @CLE

BN - LaGarrette Blount - CAR
BN - Nate Washington - TEN
BN - Sidney Rice - @CHI
BN - David Garrard - HOU

Was Blount a fluke? Should I play him (might be forced to if Williams is out)?

Should I take a gamble on Washington with Moss in town? Wes Welker would say yes, haha.

Play Garrard over Orton? Houston is dead last in pass defense. Orton is more consistent, however.

 

[MikeMike]

Benson, Forte, or Gore... which two should i start?

 

[SunnyD]

Okay, I'm smiling at my lineup/matchup this week...

QB: Flacco @ Atlanta
RB1: Jahvid Best @ Buffalo
RB2: LeSean McCoy @ Washington
WR1: Lee Evans @ Detroit
WR2: Brandon Lloyd @ KC
WR3: Jacoby Jones @ Jacksonville
TE: Brandon Pettigrew @ Buffalo
Flex: Fred Jackson @ Detroit
K: Empty (I have SeJack, he's on bye... might pick up random kicker later)
DST: Tampa Bay @ Carolina

Tell me this week's matchups look REALLY good. I'm half tempted to pick up Spurlock in place of Jones.

I'd say it's damn near impossible that you don't dominate this week.

The matchups are really good. The only problem with weeks like this is the utter frustration you get when your players drop turds against their great matchups.

I'm playing Nate Washington (assuming I can pick him up off waivers). In every team he's been in, Moss has a pattern of getting the other wide receivers a lot more catches since he usually attracts double coverage (Welker and Harvin are good examples). With Britt out of commission, Nate Washington is probably the WR2 behind Moss and should get a lot more looks. Definitely doesn't have a PATTERN of it though.
