Ok, between having last pick in a 12 team league and drafting LT and Marshawn Lynch, (Excuse, excuses!) I'm hurting for a win here. Lynch is back and I've been playing the waiver wire as best I can.
This is a 12 team, PPR, PPFD, score happy league. Some of my players have their bye this week. Here's what I'm looking at:
Actives QB Jason Cambell v. TB RB Marshawn Lynch @MIA RB Darren McFadden @HOU RB Glen Coffee v. STL WR Randy Moss v. BAL WR Pierre Garcon v. SEA TE John Carlson @IND K Stephen Gostkowski v. BAL DST Steelers v. SD
Reserves QB Kurt Warner BYE RB Correll Buckhalter v. DAL RB LaDainian Tomlinson @PIT WR Steve Breaston BYE WR Lee Evans @MIA TE Dustin Keller @NO
First question has to do with my QB situation. Cambell is a major liability. Trent Edwards and Kyle Orton are both on the wire. I may have to pick my own poison here. Who do I shoot for?
Second, do I try to squeeze Evans in my lineup this week? He has been under producing a lot lately, but so have many of my starters.
Third, who's my TE this week? Carlson @ Indy or Keller @ New Orleans. Both had weak days this past Sunday so I'm not sure which way to roll with this. I do know that Seneca targeted Carlson 10 times last week, with only 3 attempts completed. So, Carlson is a big part of the game plan for SEA. Keller was targeted only 4 times for 2 receptions, and that was against a lowly Tenn pass D.
So thats my story. Any help you guys feel like imparting on my will be much appreciated. Be sure to post a link to your thread and I will give my 2 cents right away. Thanks.
O.K. Here's my 2 cents worth- 1) I would take a gamble on Orton. This has the potential to be a high scoring game and Denver will have to throw. No way do I trust J. Campbell and who knows what you will get with Edwards. I do bet you he will complete 1 pass to a certian reciever though. 2) Nope- see Edwards above. You have it right. 3) I'd go Keller. This will be a shoot out. Good-Luck!!!
Still can't decide on Cambell or Orton, a little undecided still about Carlson or Keller.
WHIR. Just post the link!
Go Orton. DAL vs. DEN has more of a chance to turn into a high scoring game IMO. For this week, I view this choice as basically a coin flip though. Either QB should have good numbers vs. bad pass defenses.
For your TE, I like Keller more this week. NO has given up more to TEs than IND.

Oh missed this. Both are just coming back and against good run Ds. Neither are going to get the normal amount of carries they'll get in a few weeks. Though one. If they both play, I think I still start Lynch only because MIA is not as good as BAL, but I'm not confident.
I don't mean this in a mean way, but stand up and make a decision on what your gut tells you. You are probably 0-3 because you listened to the advice of someone else. Do some research on QB's, RB's and TE's and find out how their apponents fair against the pass and run. Then make your judgement based on the research and your gut feel.
