Title: My team is in the dumper
Post by steelkings on Oct 13^th, 2003, 2:23pm

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 [smiley=thinking.gif] on Ladell Betts now that Trung Canidate [smiley=downthetubes.gif] is banged up! I think I know what you think about Duce staley, but lets here it anyway.

Thanks

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.
