Title: $$ league playoffs! WDIS?
Post by captainpurple on Dec 15^th, 2005, 1:17pm

made the playoffs ridin' my Johnsons [smiley=dick.jpg]

now I have to decide my flex spots. Starters in bold

QB - Hass, Favre
RB - Rudi, Larry Johnson, Parker, Bennett, RBrown
WR - Wayne, SSmith, DBennett, Engram
TE - Wiggins
W/T - ??
W/R - ??

I don't have another TE, and the waiver wire is bare, so it'll be a WR in the W/T spot. Engram or Bennett?

For the W/R, I'm leaning Parker @ MIN.

Also, on D I've got Denver @ BUF, and MIA vs. NYJ. Leaning toward MIA with Holcomb back in for BUF. Whaddya think?

Digression 1
[offtopic]I guess people are bringing up this " [smiley=money.gif]-league" crap because, for the only substantive reason I can come up with, they are planning to send a little scratch "the Gridiron" way as a show of gratitude for the help they've garnered here getting them to the top of their "[smiley=greedy.gif]-leagues". Great!!! ::)[/offtopic]

Digression 2
[offtopic]LOVE that team name, assuming you have at least two of the according Johnson's, preferably each and every fantasy-worthy Johnson.[/offtopic]

I would go with Engram (as per geojon's thread). He's got the hot hand and Jackson's returning, this week, probably just amounts to attention getting drawn away from Engram.

I too would go with Parker over Bennett, Brown and the other Bennett.

As for your D/ST, they are BOTH good plays this week. You say, "(I'm) Leaning toward MIA with Holcomb back in for BUF." Isn't that (in a way) a reason to go with Denver? It's not like Holcomb is a monster and this is his first week back (read, shitty and rusty). In any event, I think it's a coin toss between two great matchups, two fine D/ST's, but also two unpredictable D/ST's that will [smiley=dick.jpg] you in the [smiley=moon.gif] at the most unexpected of times, like this week.

Good luck! [smiley=stpat.gif]

Holcomb is a better passer than Losman right now, and Denver's achilles is their pass D. If the weather is bad, I love the DEN matchup, cuz I don't think McGahee could run through a slight breeze right now. If the weather is fine, I think Holcomb will put up some points.

On the other hand, NYJ couldn't put up a TD vs. OAK until the 4th qtr... AT HOME!! :o So I like MIA being able to hold them down, though I don't think MIA has the TO potential that DEN does.

Steg hit it, start Parker & Engram.

For D/ST I might give a slight edge to Miami. Holcolmb is way more consistent as QB and Moulds is back. I think think they will score a few times more than expected and the chance at Denver turnovers definitely goes down with Holcolmb as QB. I think Miami has the better shot at putting out more points than Denver this week.

I'm hearing maybe as much as a foot of snow in Buf this Sat. night!! :o

Guess if that's even half true (6"), I gotta go with the Denver D, as Holcomb will have trouble throwing in that, and McGahee sux right now. If weather isn't too bad, I'll go with MIA cuz Denver is missing a CB and starting a rookie.

thoughts on that and the other stuff above?
