TONS of fun decisions! WHIR 100%!

Postby JMUduke07 » Sat Oct 03, 2009 5:55 pm

Welp, it's that time of year - bye weeks are here!

I've put a lot into ARI and PHI WRs this year (notably fitzgerald and jackson), so I'm left thin in some key spots.

Just for kicks, here are all the clutch decisions I've got to make this weekend: (My current gut reactions are underlined.)
(all leagues are $, serious leagues, standard yahoo! non-PPR scoring)

League 1
WR (pick 3) - holt vs. ten, knox vs. det, garcon vs. sea, caldwell @ cle, wade vs. nyg

League 2
WR (pick 2) ochocinco @ cle, d. henderson vs. nyj, earl bennett vs. det, caldwell @ cle, k washington @ ne
RB (pick 2) MJD vs. ten, mendenhall vs. SD, chester taylor vs. GB
2 flex (pick 2 of the leftovers)

League 3
RB (pick 3) forte vs. det, f jackson @ mia, ray rice @ ne, j jones @ ind, buckhalter vs. dal

League 4
WR (pick 2) ochocinco @ cle, caldwell @ cle, bennett vs. det, lee evans @ mia, wade vs. nyg
RB (pick 2) slaton vs. oak, t jones, @ NO, mcgahee @ NE, buckhalter vs. dal, cadillac @ was
2 flex (pick 2 of the leftovers)

League 5
RB (pick 3) addai vs. sea, d brown vs. sea, j jones @ ind, k smith @ chi, buckhalter vs. dal
*I guess I'd go K. Smith here if he plays, but D. Brown if he is out


Alright, so I know there's a lot to digest here, but I figured I'd throw it all out there.

As you can tell, I like Caldwell's matchup this weekend @ CLE, but I also like any WR vs. DET. Also not sure about Cadillac; I think he might be a good play with Ward out, but TB has been so awful lately.

Leave a link, and I will help you out thoroughly. I appreciate you taking the time to check this out. Thanks.

League 1:
Garcon and Knox definitely. I'd go with Holt as a third.
League 2:
I agree with you.
League 3:
I also agree.
League 4:
Evans over Caldwell. Not really sure why you are so high on him and I would never bring myself to start 2 bengal WRs.
League 5:
Agree with you.

Please help with mine. I have had many different disagreeing opinions so far.

Your gut seems to be doing a good job for you.

League 1 looks set. Caldwell should do alright ... though I fear that Cinci will utilize the ground for most of the game.

I'm going to bold my picks for you from your quote.

help me out?

RB (pick 2) MJD vs. ten, mendenhall vs. SD, chester taylor vs. GB
2 flex (pick 2 of the leftovers)
FLEX: Caldwell (for your nice matchup) and devery henderson (because DB is throwing to him! he's a feast or famine kind of guy, and he hasn't feasted in awhile)

League 3
RB (pick 3) [u]forte vs. det[/u], f jackson @ mia, ray rice @ ne, j jones @ ind, buckhalter vs. dal

Fred Jackson will still see a lot of action .... I think that Lynch is going to need a transition game. Jackson has proven he's still got it ...
Forte has a great matchup. and he's a star - I'm guessing your first round pick, too.
Julius Jones saw some competition in the RB spot earlier in the season - but he'll get the goal line nod.

League 4
WR (pick 2) ochocinco @ cle, caldwell @ cle, bennett vs. det, lee evans @ mia, wade vs. nyg
RB (pick 2) slaton vs. oak, t jones, @ NO, mcgahee @ NE, buckhalter vs. dal, cadillac @ was
2 flex (pick 2 of the leftovers)
FLEX: Lee Evans and Thomas Jones

Cutler LOVES Earl Bennett
85 has the matchup

League 5
RB (pick 3) addai vs. sea, d brown vs. sea, j jones @ ind, k smith @ chi, buckhalter vs. dal
*I guess I'd go K. Smith here if he plays, but D. Brown if he is out

Brown has been getting more and more touches. He looks like he's going to take the bulk eventually.

Thanks for the help on mine.

1: Keep the same

2: Probably keep the same, but I might like Taylor over Caldwell

3: Keep the same

4: I would consider Bennett over Caldwell

5: Smith for sure if he plays, otherwise Brown

Thanks for the help!

Seems like we are on the same page and I like you selections except for WR for Week 4: I would go Lee Evans over Caldwell. Your odds are better with him than splitting two WR for the same team.
My Team:

QB: B. Favre, K. Kolb.
RB: A. Peterson (MIN), D. McFadden, J. Stewart, C. Taylor.
WR: S. Smith (CAR), M. Colston, N. Washington.
TE: J. Witten.
K: N. Folk.
DST: Baltimore.

Standard H2H League.

2009 Record (so far): 2-0

League 1- Keep as is...
League 2- Keep as is..
League 3- Sub Buckhalter for Jones
League 4- Keep as is. I usally don't like to have 2 WR from the same team.. but they are the best of the bunch.
League 5- I might use Buckhalter if Smith doesn't play.

Thanks for the assist with mine.

Good luck...
