Playoffs IR forced starters at RB - need 2 but who? WHIR

Postby Sex Panther » Wed Dec 09, 2009 12:49 pm

Okiedokie, win or go home time is here.

12 team money leagues...

The Filthy Wizard (no more Ronnie Brown, Turner uncertain) - need 2 RB (5th seed) to go with the following (standard scoring)...

QB Schaub
WR Moss
WR Ochocinco
RB ???
RB ???
TE Celek or Boss
Flex Jennings
K Gostkowski
D Minnesota

Lovely RB choices I haev rostered...

J. Harrison vs Pittsburgh (Thursday)
R. Cartwright @ Oakland
C. Brown vs Seattle
M. Bell @ Atlanta
J. Snelling vs New Orleans

M. Turner vs New Orleans

Obviously, I would love to have a healthy Turner play a suspect New Orleans run D at home in a must win division game - maybe I'll get lucky. If not, I need to plug in 2 guys.

Harrison, Cartwright, and Brown are all probably starting. Bell & Thomas and how carries are split up is a total crap shoot. Snelling is no Turner & Norwood will get work.

Sex Panther 1st seed....

QB McNabb
WR Moss
WR C. Johnson
RB Addai
RB ???
TE V. Davis
Flex Sims-Walker
K Longwell
D Green Bay

Need an RB from these dudes...

K. Smith @ Baltimore
C. Brown vs Seattle
J. Forsett @ Houston
R. Cartwright @ Oakland
J. Snelling vs New Orleans
A. Bradshaw vs Philadelphia
R. Bush @ Atlanta

Typically K. Smith is a no brainer start for me, but the Baltimore matchup sucks.

Cartwright/C Brown on the top one. I see these guys as people who are definitely going to be apart of the game plan and Brown should punch at least one in from close. They have the least amount of ? marks in my opinion and there's not much reason to trot out some guy that'll give you 4 points during the playoffs.

Second league I go with Brown again. Same reasons as above. Tough choices here though.

Agree, Slaton is done for the season so Brown should see more carries eventhough he has not been very productive. I could see the scenario where he will get plenty of goal line carries vs the Hawks.

For your first team ... I'd go with Cartwright and Brown. Even though Polamalu is out, Pittsburgh's defense can still handle their own and, to be honest, Harrison isn't THAT good. But anyone playing Seattle and Oakland will usually look better than anyone playing New Orleans ... and the way you answer the Bell question is, "Who would the Saints give the ball to first at the goal line?" and you'll have your answer.

For the second team, I think you're dead on about Smith going up against Ray Lewis especially with Detroit's weak offensive line. Bradshaw's been hurt so I wouldn't put anything into him. Following the same logic as above, I think Cartwright and Brown are your best bets.
