My team is in the dumper
« on: Oct 13th, 2003, 2:23pm »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify Remove Remove
I'm in a strictly scoring league. I can start...
1 QB
2 RB
2 WR
1 Kicker
1 Def team
 
Or I have the option of 1 RB and 3 WR's. Maximum of 7 starters.
Heres my roster.
DEF= Raiders
k = Jon Carney.....N.o
K = John Hall.....Skins
QB= Jon Kitna.....Bengals
QB = Tommy Maddox.....Steelers
RB = Ladell Betts...Skins
RB = Tiki Barber....Giants
RB = Eddie George...Titans
RB = Duce Staley...Eagles
WR =Jimmy Smith..Jags
WR =Plax Burress....Steelers
WR = David Boston...Chargers
WR =Peter Warrick...Bengals
WR = Dallas Clark...Indy
 
There it is. I've dropper two straight. These guys just arent scoring. Should I hold or fold?

Is this a keeper league?  If it's a redraft league you can't really fold, can you?
 
Also, when you say it's a "strictly scoring" league, does that mean a TD-only league?  Or a standard performance scoring league?  I'm confused...

When I say fold, I mean trade dudes. I can save players for three picks higher than drafted. IOW....Top three picks cant be saved.  I  drafted Jimmy smith in the 12th round. Ill give a 9th next year to keep him. Points only league.. NO yardage or performance bonases.
 
OK.....now what do you think phillyman

I think you'll be OK at QB.  Kitna should keep throwing TDs for you.  They've got a decent passing game and frequently are playing from behind.  Tommy Maddox has been awful lately (I know, I own him in my money league), but can't be as bad as he's looked.  Plus his schedule gets easier in a few weeks (ARZ, SF, CLE, CIN, OAK, and NYJ and SD in fantasy playoff weeks).
 
I also think you'll be OK with your receivers.  Between Jimmy Smith, David Boston, and Plax, you should get some TDs (see above regarding Plax too).
 
RB is a problem.  Barber is a solid #2 for you, but don't count on him as a starter.  The rest are wasting space for you.  I might try trading Plaxico (to someone who thinks he will rebound) or Boston for another RB - maybe for a William Green, Corey Dillon, Edgerrin James, Charlie Garner, Marcel Shipp, Anthony Thomas, or Garrison Hearst (some of those names are reaches, but try anyway).

What are your thoughts on Ladell Betts now that Trung Canidate is banged up! I think I know what you think about Duce staley, but lets here it anyway.

I might not be the best person to ask about Betts.  I saw him in the Eagles-Skins game, and he looked decent enough.  I'd still be concerned about how many opportunities he'll get.
 
Staley is deeply entrenched in a RBBC.  Westbrook, who appears to be the #1 option, went out with a hip-pointer this past weekend, raising questions about his durability.  Staley had 90+ yards of offense and 1 TD this weekend, so he's not being forgotten by the coach.  I'd hang onto him as a backup unless someone is interested in trading for him.
