Title: who to start? - week 13
Post by kec6906 on Nov 30^th, 2005, 7:18pm

ok gang, another week another of stressing to make the playoffs. League #1 is a 12 team redraft, i'm 6-5-1 in my division - 1/2 game out of 2nd. if i win this week - i'm in, if i lose there is still a chance to get in if another team loses. only problem is i play my division leader (8-4) and he's got (Hass, Roth, Brooks, D Davis, Westy, Anderson, Steve Smith, Andre Johnson, Santana Moss & Engram) - tough lineup. good news is, he has lost 4 in a row and his team hasnt done much lately.

scoring - longer TD's = more points, bonus pts for rec/rushes, bonus pts for rec/rush yardage, minus pts for int's, fumbles.

QB - need 1

1. Favre @ CHI (Favre scares me anymore doesnt matter who he's up against but CHI is tough)
2. E Manning vs DAL (also tough)
3. McNair @ IND

4. Boller vs HOU (WW - great matchup)
5. Johnson @ DET (WW - good matchup)
6. Bollinger @ NE (WW)
7. Garcia vs MIN (WW)

leaning towards E Manning or Boller or maybe Johnson.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WR - need 3

1. Chambers vs BUF
2. Curtis vs WAS (got lucky in OT last week)
3. Edwards vs JAX
4. Evans @ MIA
5. Clayton @ NO

leaning towards my usual 3 - Chambers, Curtis & Edwards.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DEF - need 1

1. ATL @ CAR
2. CHI vs GB

leaning of course to CHI. (if i had gone with ATL instead last week i would have won by 3 instead of tying)

^{OBFFL 2004 champs - Favre, E Manning, McNair, Dunn, Jordan, Barber, Suggs, Gore, Chambers, Curtis, Evans, Clayton, Edwards, Bironas, Elam, Freeney, CHI, ATL}

thanks for the advice. KC.

QB - I lean the same way you do. This game is just too big; it's at home... Go with Eli!

WR - I would actually go with Chambers, Edwards and Evans. With Holt and Bruce back, this unknown out of Harvard at QB, Curtis is a HUGE roll of the dice. As you said, but for that OT TD, he was g00se eggs.

D/ST - I again lean in the same direction as you. Go with that stallion Chicago D.

Good luck! [smiley=shamrock.gif]

Hey Steg (or anyone),

what do u think of Bryant Johnson WR ARI @ SF this week?
Warner throws a ton (BJ had 5-77 yds last week vs JAX) and they are playing SF crappy D and ARI still has no running game. ARI also plays HOU crappy D at home in 2 weeks. i know they have Boldin & Fitz but he still seems to get chances.

or how about Mark Clayton BAL WR vs HOU this week?

right now i have Chambers, Edwards & Evans in my lineup. would u take a chance on BJ or MC over Edwards or Evans? i'm actually thinking of taking a chance on BJ to go with Chambers & Evans (Losman favors Evans and can they really suck that bad again on the road against MIA?)

Also, same league which Kicker would u go with:

1. Elam @ KC
2. Bironas @ IND

was leaning towards Elam but now not sure.

thoughts. thanks. KC.

I would perhaps give Edwards "a blow" by going with "BJ" [smiley=bj.gif] for all... [smiley=rollinwithlaughter.gif] I don't think Clayton merits dice being rolled on him. I have a feeling that that is going to be an ugly [smiley=zombie.gif] low-scoring affair between to piss-poor teams, anyway.

At PK... ELAM... in a shootout!!!
