Title: have I made the right choices?
Post by ColaSteeler on Dec 14^th, 2002, 5:41pm

Playing my first playoff game in both my office leagues, after last week's bye. Do you guys agree with who I've picked?

Scoring is 1 point for 10 yds rush/rec or 25 pass, [/b]1 point per reception[b], 6 points for all Tds, -2 per fumble or INT. Defensive scoring is basically 3 points per turnover, 1 per sack, and points based on yardage and points against (Defense only). Giving up 350 yards and 25 points will give you 8 points (4 each), so defenses score high when they create T/Os and score (6 points)..

League 1:
QB: Bledsoe (bench Brooks)
RB: Holmes, Barber, Shipp (bench L. Johnson and Fisher)
WR: Horn, C. Johnson, T. Streets (bench Chambers and D. Jackson - could also pickup McCardell, Jurevicious, Bates or Ferguson)
TE: Shockey (bench Heap)
K: Akers (bench M. Anderson)
D: Jaguars (bench Redskins) -- thinking of getting Jets

League 2:
QB: Culpepper (bench Brooks)
RB: Holmes, Barber, Bennett (bench A. Green and Fisher)
WR: Horn, C. Johnson, Burress (bench Tim Brown; Porter)
TE: Pollard (bench B. Franks) -- Jolley is available
K: Carney (bench Hollis)
D: Rams (bench 49ers) -- NYJ also available

Any feedback is appreciated.....I'll answer some posts tonight after I get back from a dinner I'm going to.

Very solid! [smiley=threed.gif]

I wouldn't touch a thing with team 1.

I'd choose Bubba over Pollard personally. More a case where I've always liked Bubba and against the evidence just don't care for Pollard. Both solid choices.

Team #1 : I would play DJax instead of Streets. Other than that it looks good.

Team #2: Looks good to me. I would probably play Franks instead of Pollard though!

Normally I would have started Brooks in both leagues, but his injury makes him an unnecessary risk with quality backups.[smiley=nervous.gif]
Team One: I'd go with the Jets. The chances of Chicago putting up big points is highly unlikely.
Team Two: I'd go with Franks as well. Good luck.[smiley=thumbsup.gif]

In response to a post above, I would actually stick with Streets over Jackson this week with Owens very beat-up going into today's game. One change I would make is put Andersen in over Akers. I think the Denver-K.C. game will be high-scoring, but I think the Denver "D" will do a lot of "bending" without "breaking". Thus, a lot of field-goal opportunities for Andersen. [smiley=yes.gif]

StegRock,

I had heard that Andersen has an MCL problem I believe.......KC signed Husted. Normally I would start Morten, but this injury scared me, and I had no room for dropped points. That was my reasoning for starting Akers. If you have an update on Mortens injury, please let me know.

Everything I've been able to get my grubby little hands on says Mort will kick some in pre-game and they'll decide from there. As Akers plays a noon game, and Mort a 3 pm, there will be no chance to find out without having lost the Akers opportunity. I love risking it, not here.

WOW! The injury is news to me. I may have to make a switch on my own fantasy team. Thanks!

Anyway, with that knowledge in hand, I would go with Akers.
