First Post: Would LOVE some QB help.

Postby thephilosopher » Tue Dec 08, 2009 7:29 pm

so somehow I managed to get a few consecutive results at the right time and sneak into the playoffs. I'm in a keeper league and it's ironic how I managed to do so only after I traded my non keeper eligible players (brady and gore being the most noteworthy) who were actually shipped out to help a contender with me getting some keeper eligible pieces in return (pretty much Desean Jackson and some scraps). Now I'm somehow in the playoffs and despite my team as a whole seemingly clicking, my QB situation has been dire to say the least.

I need to start one of those 3 QBs currently on my roster in Week 14:

1- Cutler (up against GB, and he's been poor to say the least)

2- Hasselbeck (playing away to the Texans)

3- Matt Ryan ( IF he does indeed return to face NO)

Also on the WW is Buffalo's Fitzpatrick who is facing the not so scary Chiefs.

So what do you say? which one of those 3/4 should I roll with?

Bonus Question if you have time: While I'm pretty set on my running backs, I need 3 out of those 5 WRs in a league that rewards return yards (1 pt for each 25 yards of return). My WRs are: Desean Jackson (at NYG), Harvin (vs Cincy), Mike Sims-Walker (vs Miami), Garcon (vs Denver), and Britt (vs STL). I'm currently leaning forward to D Jax, Harvin, and Britt since they have all been involved in the return game. Britt has been on fire and Vince Young is not shying away from the pass and they face STL, but Harvin for instance is playing against a stingy Cincy D, so I'm considering rolling with Mike Sims/Garcon over him. The only thing that bothers me is that I've just had Harvin all season long, his return yards are always a good bonus, and he is one of the reasons I won this past week and made the playoffs. On the other hand Mike Sims has done very poorly this past week, while Garcon is up against a solid pass D in Denver (although I guess champ will be marking Wayne for the most part). Bottom line I'm not entirely sure who my 3 wides should be, and so any tips you have, be it be trends, weather, key injuries or matchup related info, will be hugely appreciated and in return I can give my opinion on whatever question you need help with (I tend to have a clearer focus when it has to do with other teams :) Also, I suppose if Desean is out for another week this will make my choice slightly easier, but I would still have to pick between Garcon and Mike Sims, so if you would rank my WRs from 1 to 5, that, together with the more straightforward QB help, would be very much appreciated!

I would say Hasselbeck (best matchup IMO)

For your WR's I would say Harvin, Djax and Garcon. Britt has a good matchup, but I feel like Chris Johnson will run over them all day and the Titans won't need to pass much.

I don't know about taking a chance on Patrick, Cutler seems to be the best of those you listed. Mainly because GB seems to have a lot of games with high scoring and the good will outweigh the bad for him this game I think.

NO chance of getting say Vince Young or Alex Smith. While they aren't great they are better than what I see of your guys. Young is going up against STL and should tear them up! Cambell is going up against OAK but he is slipping.
I think you got it with the WRs and would stick with those due to the return yards.

sadly not. this is a keeper league so they have been long gone.

I actually have a good feeling about Matt Ryan if he is cleared to play (which is a big if). Atlanta's ground game is very confusing right now, and Washington exposed a lot of NO's defense last week (mostly through the pass). But this is all irrelevant if he is not fit.

I'm a seahawks fan so I have a soft spot for Hasselbeck, but I also understand how unpredictable the whole team can be (especially on the road). I'm also stubborn by nature and have stuck with Cutler so far, but apart from him having a poor record against GB, he has also been playing very scared lately.
