10team h2h keeper.. scoring is 6pts per rush/rec/ret td, 4pts per pass td, 1pt per 10 rush/rec yards, 1pt per 20pass yards, no fractional scoring, & rest are default yahoo scoring..

we can only start 1qb, 1te, 1def, 1k, 2rb, 2wr, 1wr/rb flex

starters at the moment are in bold
qb= kyle orton, jay cutler
rb= mike turner, glen coffee, marion barber, cedric benson, tim hightower, rashard mendenhall
wr=larry fitzgerald, mike sims-walker, desean jackson
te=brent celek, vernon davis
k= lawrence tynes

I like your WRs but I would probably start Hightower over Coffee. The Texans have given up 8 rushing TDs this year compared to Atlanta's 2. I also think ATL vs. SF will be more of a defensive game while I think both Arizona and Houston will score a good number of points.

I agree, Hightower has huge upside here. The only team Houston has stopped on the ground had zero threat of a passing game. I see Timmy having a productive day as Houston focuses on how to cover Fitz, Boldin and Breaston.

I also like DeSean over MSW - can't give you a reason, just my gut. Good luck!

thnx for both of your replies... i was thinking the same thing & go with hightower's favorable matchup over coffee, but one thing that scares me is that timmy haven't done alot lately...

on the flex spot, it is still difficult for me to decide though.. still unsure what to do...


anyone else???

WEEK 6 dilemma..

Postby lacunacoiler » Sat Oct 17, 2009 1:19 am

WEEK 6 dilemma

who to start at rb & wr?? we start 2rb, 2wr, 1wr/rb flex

qb=matt hasselback, jay cutler
rb=mike turner, cedric benson, rashard mendenhall, tim hightower, marion barber
wr=larry fitz, desean jackson, mike sims-walker, nate robinson
te= brent celek
def= nyyj



anyone??

its really tempting for me to start sims-walker since he is primed for a big game coz:
a)The Jags offense, including Garrard, has so far been solid at home in 2 games
b)the Jags are pissed about last week's game & they want some payback
c) the Rams is just so bad this year that top BCS teams has even a shot at beating them with one hand

The only thing i'm hesitant on starting Sims-Walker is coz i got other options..


With Hass' back at the helm, Housh & Nate benefits from it.. And last week's game is a good sign that Nate is primed for alot of big games.. Plus the Seahawks are playing against a Card's defense that has allowed alot of fantasy pts to wr's.. Like Sims-Walker, only reason im not starting him is coz i got other options.. Still worth a start..

Fitz is fitz so im starting him..


I'm hesistant abit to start Desean coz:
a) McNabb is not afraid to spread the ball
b) He will likely get covered by Nmadi

But I'm thinking its worth a shot at starting him coz he got something to prove that last week was just a fluke & that the Raiders will stink again this week


Benson is a must start after torching the Ravens last week..

Mike Turner seems to be also a must start after a solid performance last week.. The only thing that worries me is maybe CHI's defense will find a way to stop him..

im leaning towards starting Rashard at flex for the time being coz he has been solid the last 2 games & that he is playing a CLE team that is so far sucking balls.. The only thing i'm worried though is the return of Willie Parker.. What impact will a healthy Parker have on Rashard going forward, & that Tomlin said he won't name a starting rb till game-time...


any insights will be greatly appreciated...

Which rb's & wr's to start on week 12??

Postby lacunacoiler » Sun Nov 29, 2009 2:55 am

THIS IS FOR WEEK 12


start 2 rb, 2wr, 1wr/rb flex, 1te
standard espn scoring with fractional scoring...

current starters in bold..

rb= marion barber, mike turner, cedric benson, rashard mendenhall, justin forsett
wr= larry fitzgerald, desean jackson, miles austin, mike sims-walker
te= vernon davis, brent celek




with the recent news on both Benson & Turner playing, i don't know whether to start both, just one of them, or none of them...
unfortunately, i can't change the starters once they have played so i missed out on austin's huge payday...


ANy insights will be greatly appreciated..
