who to start?

Quote Quote Modify Modify

scoring - longer td's = more pts, 50 yds pass= 1 pt, longer FG's = more pts, XP = 1 pt
 
L1) Hasselback VS. DAL  or  Testy @ SEA   or   Harrington vs ARI  (i know they all suck)
 
L1a) Wilkins vs SF  or   Brown vs DAL
 
L1b) BAL vs CIN  or  BUF @ MIA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
scoring td= 6 pts, 50 yds pass = 1 pt, int = (-2)
 
L2) Plummer @ SD   or   Delhomme @ NO
 
 
thanks for the advice.  KC.

L1- Hasselbeck, the lesser of 3 evils here.  
 
L1a- Brown. Wilkins will kick extra points only this week.
 
L1b- I like Buffalo vs. the weaker offense here.
 
L2- Delhomme vs. a terrible Saints defense.
 
Good luck.

As hard as it is for me to admit it, I agree with everything BW said in the previous post.

I agree with everything for league 1
 
In league 2, I would start Plummer, eventhough the Saints defense is not nearly as good as the Chargers.  Plummer put up pretty good numbers last week considering the very tough conditions.  Plummer has been one of the top guys at QB.  Meanwhile, Delhomme is not afraid to throw a lot of interceptions.  I do not like the inconsistency of Delhomme.  In short, I am going against the grain on this one, I would go with Plummer.

one addition to L1......
 
would you pick up Collins vs KC  over Hasselback???
 
alot of sites i'm reading predict Collins will have a better day than Hass.  Collins doesnt have much of a running game so i think he would be throwing more (like last week).  Hass has Alex to carry the load.  i need to win this week or i'm prob out of playoffs. thanks.

In my money league, I had gone the entire season with Brooks and Harrington as my QBs.  I dumped Harrington this week and added Collins and Bledsoe.  Both of them have nice schedules upcoming.  I would go ahead and give Collins a start ahead of Hasselbeck this week.  Hass is down one WR and D-Jax has been dropping everything thrown his way, so they'll rely heavily on Alexander.

I agree with BW, except for DT.  The Ravens tend to be very angry after a big loss (Can you spell Ray-Ray?  He must have that D breathing fire by now.), and Rudi will not be the threat he can usually be against the BAL D.  That limits the options of Palmer, who is not as good on the road.  I would go with the Ravens D.

I would go with Collins over Hasselbeck.  He seems to have finally really taken the reigns, won over his teammates and is producing.  I think this is a forward trend.  I think Hasselbeck's going backwards is also a forward trend.  I think Seattle will get upset this week by a Dallas Cowboys team with newly revitalized playoff hopes and a never-say-die coach.  I even think that a Hasselbeck benching is not completely out of the question.
 
Next, play Buffalo over Baltimore.  This is based sheerly on matchup.  The Dolphins offense sucks that bad and the Bills defense, and overall team for that matter, is good enough.
 
Oh, my "Two Jakes"! Got to go with Plummer as per my Broncos FF-specific team report.  Delhomme's matchup is VERY deceiving this week.  Looks good, but really isn't.  Carolina will probably be playing with a (good) lead for most of the game.  This = great game for Nick Goings, probably ~ so good for Delhomme.  ...  And, anyway, the proof is in the pudding.  I have "The Two Jakes", hence my GBRFL team name, and I am going with Plummer and Griese this week.
 
As for your kicker sitch, ... My coin says... heads... Brown.  I think Wilkins will be kicking extra points only all day.

I too would pick up Collins over Hass this week. I think KC will throw for at least 3 scores this week, maybe 4 (See my bold prediction this week)

well, someone else took Collins ahead of me so now i'm stuck with my 3 original choices of Hass, Testy, Harrington.  so i have to decide between Hass & Testy.
 
only other options are Bledsoe & Boller on WW.  ***looks like McNair is out again***  Volek is also avail.
what do you think about him at TEN.
 
of course i play against Favre this week.  doesnt look promising for the playoffs.
 
oh well, any other thoughts would be appreciated.
 
KC.

I'd play Hass over Testy.  Hass is not the greatest these days, but the Dallas secondary is lousey and their pass rush is usually not great.  It's possible that Alexander could get the points, but at least you have a shot at it with Hass over Testy.
 
Testy has to deal with Seattle's pass rush and corners.  Henson could even end up finishing the game if there's no hope.

I agree with Callie on Hasselbeck over Testaverde this week, Hasselbeck definitely has more upside, but hopefully the rest of your lineup picks up the slack.  
 
I also think Philly brings up a great point concerning Bledsoe in particular, after this week at Miami, in which he is obviously a crappy start, this is what his schedule looks like:
 
12/12 Cleveland  
12/19 @Cincinnati
12/26 @San Francisco
 
Bledsoe could definitely help some QB-deficient teams during fantasy playoffs.

I did still go with Plummer. BUT, I must admit, contrary to my recommendation here, I did make a last-minute change on Sunday and put Delhomme in over Griese, ... thank God.

I too went with Plummer.  He did not look good.  Hopefully he will rebound this week.  I need a big game from him.

well, i did stay with Plummer for the one league (i was going to switch to Delhomme sunday morning but forgot - i still would have lost anyway - he had McNabb).  still in playoffs - finished 4th overall & 4th seed playing 5th seed next week.  hopefully Plummer will pick it up at home.

RB: Holmes (ouch), Blaylock (?), Pittman, K Jones, E Smith, Bennett
