Title: Hass or B.J. ?
Post by Iam4LSU on Dec 18^th, 2003, 8:10pm

Okay..got your attention. In our league's fantasy bowl. Now.. Hass is at home against Arizona. B.J. is at home against Atlanta. Both visiting teams stink against the pass. Which QB has better potential?

Second.. I have Holmes to run, but I'm playing against Ahman. My choices for second RB are: M. Bennett AND Onterrio Smith at home against the Chiefs, Brian Westbrook AT HOME against SF and Kevin Barlow of SF. Which RB has better potential this week?

?.?.?

First off, WELCOME to "the Gridiron", friend! [smiley=bow.gif]

In accordance with my "Red Zone PRIMED Players for the Week" for Week 16, I would go with BJ over Hass. I just have a feeling Seattle is going to pull away in that game and it's going to end up being the Shaun Alexander show. I think with Tampa's "overall" less adept offense, the game will be better contested and the pass will be a part of Johnson's game all day. I expect to him to have a huge game yardage-wise especially.

Now, contrary to my "R.Z.P.P." selections for this week, I would go with Westbrook @ home over Barlow @ Philadelphia. Barlow's on my "second team" ultimately, not my "first team" and Westbrook is just a safer play in my book.

Good luck, at any rate! [smiley=shamrock.gif]

Welcome to here...

I'm not sure I understood your RB options... you can start Bennett AND Smith as your second RB? Here are my rankings...

1. Priest
2. Bennett AND Smith
3. Westbrook
4. Barlow
5. Bennett alone
6. Smith alone

As far as QB is concerned, I'd lean a bit more towards M-Hass. He's shown he can light it up recently, whereas Brad Johnson, even against some weaker defenses, has done next to nothing (0 touchdown passes against Houston?).

I'm of one mind with Philly on this one. Hass will shred ARI who can't win on the road. Steg could be right, in that they'll be seeing #37 all second half, but Hass should get you 2 TDs anyway. BJ is never a guarantee.

I'm confused too on your RB statement. If you get "MIN RB" no matter who starts, by all means go for it. Tice has announced Bennett will start. I would go with him without question.....IF....OSmith hadn't piled almost 150 last week. He may steal more than a couple carries from Bennett this week. If you have to choose and cannot risk a little RBBC in MIN, go with Westbrook who is almost as hot as Priest right now.

Good luck!

You followed our advice and went with Onterrio Smith right? ;D
