Amendment to what I said: All three of those players are CURRENTLY starting grade players (Reece being the long term exception).

Yep, pretty much this and it could help her out quite a bit depending on the rest of her team. Hard to say. It's not like McCoy has been setting the world on fire this year; very solid and an every week starter, but not amazing like last year.

Only problem I have is that with Foles likely starting for the rest of the season, McCoy has a very, VERY good shot to turn in ridiculously good numbers for the remainder of the season assuming the offense shifts back to a more not-Vick-oriented traditional attack.

Need some help (don't worry KT its not in our league) for a PPR league.

Start Bush tonight (flex) or have the option of playing either Reese (Oak) or LLoyd (NE) on Sunday.

I think you've got to start Bush and pray he doesn't do something stupid to get benched. Buffalo is still dead last in run defense in the league for a reason, with no reason that it will change any time soon. Their linebackers aren't exactly coverage mavens either. Bush should have a field day... again.

I'd have a tough time sitting Reece in a PPR league. I had to decide between Reece, Bush, and a couple of others in one of my PPR leagues and I am going Reece.

I suppose, but I remember reading some stats showing that McCoy was actually more effective when Vick was running a lot because the D had to try and cover both running options. So they cover Vick and he dumps it to McCoy for a big gain, or McCoy is covered and Vick takes off. Something like that.

Of course Reid seems to be even worse than usual this year, as does the offensive line, so who knows what the hell will happen. 😛

Yeah thats my gut feeling too. I've been burned the last couple weeks by Bush. Now he plays the worst run D in the league which has me 2nd guessing myself

It just seems like they are going more with a time share in Miami now with Thomas and Bush has not really been the same since he was out for those couple of games with the injury.

IMO it's a tough call between Bush and Reese (if McFadden and Goodson are out again). Both have a good matchup.

 

[AMDZen]

Bush is benched on my team for the rest of the season. Fuck Philbin for benching him last week. Not a HC that is conducive to a fantasy starter when he can be benched willy nilly at any time, and has also been mostly benched other weeks when Daniel Thomas was suddenly given the bulk of the work in the 2nd half of games.

My team doesn't need him any way. This week I am starting Arian Foster, Steven Ridley and Jamaal Charles, Bush and Alfred Morris are on the bench

 

[Aharami]

who would be a good trade for Joe Flacco? Need a RB badly in my team. The only team which doesnt have a solid QB and would want to trade Flacco for someone good, has the following

who should I ask for Flacco? I'd love to take Martin off him, but dont think he will go for that 😛

How about McCoy for Flacco?

Good god, if you can swing that trade then you should be a car salesman. 😵

You are nuts asking for any of that IMO. QB is not that important a postion and Flacco has as much value as what probably holds on your waiver wire.

If it were me and I really needed Flacco and I just had to have him because he was the best QB available for some reason and no body else would trade, I'd offer you Donald Brown or Vick Ballard. Thats it. And frankly that dude is a lunatic anyway hording terrible QB's. He has 3 of them for christ sake and they all suck, and he needs Flacco to add to his sucky ass trio of sucktastic QB's?

Hope this is a 16 man league or bigger

He has three QBs already and Flacco isn't much of an upgrade over any of them.

Maybe you can get lucky and snag Vick Ballard for him. But you'd do just as well dropping Flacco for whomever is the best free agent pickup left.

 

[eits]

Now I get the eits hate. Are you f-ing kidding me sitting Reggie Wayne?

Absolutely, without a doubt start Wayne, and I'd prob go Decker, but it's a coin flip between him and Cobb (but both pretty good starts).

i just happen to trust decker to score more this week more than i do wayne... wayne may have more yards, but i think decker finds the end zone once or twice. i don't trust wayne to find the end zone... he's only found it 3 times this season. also, cobb is a threat for touchdowns and yardage this week, considering how nelson isn't at 100% (and he'd be double covered, on top of that) and how cobb has been aaron rodgers' go-to guy past the 40... he's caught 6 touchdowns in the past 5 games and averaged 70 total yards per game.

 

[SunnyD]

I was thankfully wrong about Reggie Bush tonight. Bills defense played amazingly ridiculously uncharacteristically well against the run, and against Bush in particular tonight.

I watched the game and yes the bills D was rather good but Bush has not played well in his last 4 games - all of which have come against pourous rush defenses

Week 8 vs Jets / 14 rushes for 59 yds; 1 rec 6 yds; 1 Fum (W 30-9)
Week 9 vs Indy / 10 rushes for 41 yds; 2 rec 25 yds; 1 TD (L 23-20)
Week 10 vs Ten / 4 rushes for 21 yds; 1 rec 8 yds; 1 Fum (L 37-3)
Week 11 vs Buf / 10 rushes for 20 yds; 2 rec 15 yds (L 19-14)

So in his last 4 games the guys has these numbers

38 rushes for 141 yds (3.7 avg); 6 rec 54 yds; 2 Fum, 1 TD

Sure the 'fins have fallen behind in pretty much all of those games and he was benched vs Ten but its clear that they have no idea how to get the guy the ball. The league has studied Tannehill and are daring him to beat them. Looks like the same stuff that was happening to Bush in NO.

I'm finding a lot of things wrong with this post...

wayne may have more yards, but i think decker finds the end zone once or twice.

You'd rather bench the consistency of Wayne's targets and yards and roll the dice on Decker finding the endzone?

i don't trust wayne to find the end zone... he's only found it 3 times this season.

Again... what does this have to do with Wayne's fantasy point production? TD's don't make the world spin. The fact that Wayne has been one of the most consistent point producers this season WITHOUT finding the endzone should scream "every-week starter"

also, cobb is a threat for touchdowns and yardage this week

And Decker and Wayne aren't??

cobb has been aaron rodgers' go-to guy past the 40... he's caught 6 touchdowns in the past 5 games and averaged 70 total yards per game

Cobb has 6 touchdowns for the whole year, son. Also, James Jones had six touchdowns in three games from week 4-6. Seems to me Rodger's "go-to" guy isn't exactly set in stone.

dammit, now I'm picking on eits. 🙁

 

[AMDZen]

He gets all the goal line work but neither back is worth starting on any given week

 

[KeithTalent]

If you can't do it against the Bills, you can't do it! Glad I lost faith in Bush a few weeks ago. 😀

[Caesar]

Who should I start (pick two for each)

RB: LeSean McCoy (vs Was), Alfred Morris (vs Phi), Frank Gore (vs Chi), Vick Ballard (vs NE)
WR: Marques Colston (vs Oak), Danny Amendola (vs NYJ), Brandon Lloyd (vs Ind), Andre Roberts (vs Atl), Josh Gordon (vs Dal)

Thinking McCoy and Morris for RB and Colston, Amendola for WR

your thinking is correct.

Sunny: why do you think Gore is the better choice here?

[tHa ShIzNiT]

McCoy/Gore & Colston/Amendola.

Its a toss up with Gore or Morris, I'd say. I'd rather chance it against philly's run D and a rookie QB who could keep the redskins on the field more often.

My thinking as well! Definitely McCoy and Gore/Morris are pretty close but Morris may be on the field more.

I don't really care that it's Chicago, Gore is a must-start in any league.
