Title: Do or die, looking like Kevorkian's been called
Post by FourTwoOh on Nov 20^th, 2002, 6:30pm

12 team performance Yahoo league. 8 teams make the playoffs weeks 14 thru 16. I'm the third highest scorer, just got passed this week by 4 after several weeks at two. The kicker is, with apparent extreme prejudice, the scheduling gods have arranged a nice little 5 game losing streak, leaving me in 8th, 5-6-0, and tied with the fourth highest scoring team who just so happens to be by opponent this week. I finish against a fairly low scoring team in week 13. Appreciate anyone willing to throw on some hip waders and rubber gloves and help me sort thru this garbage pile.

QB - ~~McNabb~~, Couch, ~~Fiedler~~, Detmer

RB - Ahman Green, Portis, Barlow, Faulk _-Kevin,Wells

WR - Thrash, Patten, R Wayne, B Shaw {wow! that actually hurts to type out. What the hell happened to my inititial Chambers, Thrash, Q Ismail, Hilliard draft class?}

TE - Billy Miller

K - Mort

Def- Tampa

Staring line-up requirements

1 qb, 2 rb, 3 wr, 1 wr/te flex, 1 wr/rb flex, 1 k, 1 def

passing tds = 4
rush/rec tds = 6
1 point every 25 passing
1 point every 10 rush/rec

no negatives for fumbles/int

Appreciate ALL input, constuctive not a requirement ;D

I would take a look at the comparisons between Faulk and Barlow. Then Ismail vs. Wayne and Shaw and see what shakes out. [smiley=frustrated.gif]

I should have clarified Chambers was dealt in a trade, and Q was unceremoniusly dumped in favor of Wayne.
So, of course K Faulk completely dissapears as soon as I get him and then Wayne gets the impression from Faulk that little or nothing is what is expected your first week on my team. :slacker:

Faulk edge's Barlow this week in match ups, so most likely I plug him in at wr/rb

No choice but to go either Shaw or Wayne at wr3. fa look like Troy Walker, Germaine Crowell{already on and off my squad acouple of times}D'Wayne Bates.

Leaning heavy to just pluggin Faulk and Wayne in for one last shot.

Definitely start Anderson at Kicker and Buccaneers at Defense. You'll be in great shape with those two! How did you get so lucky to get two of the best there?? [smiley=rollinwithlaughter.gif]

Honestly, I shouldn't have eaten right before I read your WR list. I nearly tossed it back up.

Couch
Green, Portis
Wayne, Thrash, Patten
Miller
Faulk
Anderson
Bucs

Snake bit every move I make in that one. Got lucky early and McNabb Tampa and a little bit of Thrash carried a lack of rb. Then the rb's started coming thru and I ran into the "ex-wife" of schedule luck. Throw in being the "winner" on fa gems like RWII, Chris Carter and it's not been pretty.

I'd have no luck at all

With Hakim now out, there will be quite a few extra balls to go around in Detroit. So, I would first of all drop Shaw for Crowell. I WOULD DO THAT NOW if you can!

...

Now that you have got him back on your roster, I would throw him in your lineup as your flex player over Faulk or Patten. He has a great intra-divisional matchup this week against the lowly Bears. If they are to beat them, Crowell is just going to have to show up.

As for the rest, I agree with Philly! Except, I would start "Andersen", not "Anderson", at kicker. ;)

While I'm not quite as sold as you appear to be on Crowell, I did just do it. Shaw, out, Germaine, in.

Starting Andersen and Tampa is a done deal. What I showed is my complete roster. Less bench space than I prefer. But that's the way this one is set up.

Patten's fairly locked in with the Minnesota match-up. Odd man out is still up for grabs
