I was tempted by Jacoby, but i also have Schaub and Foster...so im worried that if the team sucks it up, my fantasy team will too.

Also its 1PPR if that changes anything :p

QB(1): Eli Manning
RB(2): Arian Foster, Steven Jackson, Beanie Wells, Mike Tolbert, Fred Jackson, Ben Tate
WR(3): Hakeem Nicks, Brandon Lloyd, Jeremy Maclin, Jordyz Nelsonz, Austin Collie, Homenik Hixon
TE(1): Kellen Winslow
FLEX(1):

So right now I am think of offering Freddie straight up for either and if they want Eli they can have him. I think my depth at RB is really good so I can afford to ship him out. Good idea? Bad Idea? Other ideas?

Also, for bonus repzzz: How do you play my WR situation this week? Injuries are killing me. Right now, here is my plan: Jordyz is locked in as a starter, if Lloyd can't go I play Maclin in his stead. I leave Nicks in unless we get a definitive report and replace him with Hixon if the GTD doesn't go his way. Thoughts?

Trapped at the bottom

i think its a no brainer if you can get stafford or big ben for frejax considering your rb depth. make that happen in a second if you can.

this week if you have to start 3 wrs id go nicks lloyd nelson. keep an eye on nicks and throw in hixon if he doesnt play. dont like collie yet and looks like maclins still slowly getting back into the mold. worth it if nicks goes because i dont see maclin outdoing hixon by that much otherwise.

Gotta hope Lloyd goes as well. Say they don't bite for Freddie, how high up my RB food chain do you go? Is Tolbert too much?

Jackson or Tolbert shoud be enough. Fred has an awfully nice week 16 matchup vs. Denver.

I'd keep Maclin in the lineup, honestly. ATL is poor vs. the pass and Maclin was in the lineup and on the field all game last week. Only 3 targets, but I can't imagine Vick completes only 14 passes again this week, especially in a prime time game. I'm thinking Lloyd will be out, but even if he's in I don't see big numbers for him.

ppr doesn't change it. Henderson is a good start, too, so I would probably play it safe and not start 3 guys from the same team.

[mau5]

What are your guys thoughts on Dez playing this week.

Should I risk him playing(with Erik Decker as the best available fill in) or should I sit Dez and play Addai.


Non PPR league standard scoring

if Nicks is still questionable on Sunday should I play one of Maclin or Henderson or drop Henderson for Nixon and see if he is healthy by Monday if not play Nixon

Lol, don't waste your time with Hixon he is a complete JAG. If Nicks is questionable play Henderson, if Moore is still out it Henderson, and Meachem are obviously the #1 targets. With some Jimmy Graham thrown in there.

Hixon, does return kicks and punts though, if your league gives you points for that his value shoots up. (My League had 6 points for a TD return, and 1 point each 50 yards.)

[fenikz]

ya i'd def take Stafford for Jackson if you can

and yes to your wr scenario

non ppr pick 2

Mark Ingram, Devery Henderson, Joesph Addai, Austin Collie, Jacoby Ford

Mark Ingram or Devery Henderson

I really don't like the Saints running back situation for fantasy purposes. At least for now it is a true 3 headed monster. You would likely just be betting on a TD. I play Devery and gamble for a big play.

[fenikz]

changed it up a bit reread please

I think Addai and Ford. Addai gets a spot for sure imo and then it's between Ford and Henderson and who you think will make the big play. Ingram is certainly an option, but I'm a hater.

.5 ppr

Sit one:

Addai vs CLE
DeAngelo vs GB
Ingram @ CHI

Sit Ingram, but I'm a Saints RB hater. DeAngelo's matchup is pretty ruthless though.

Not as ruthless as you may think.

Yeah, Pierre Thomas did some work against you guys. Sproles was good catching out of the backfield as well. Thing is, I'm not buying Newton coping with Capers' full on assault. I am also buying the Packers to jump out to massive lead. Idk, I think Carolina will be throwing a ton out of necessity and looking poor doing it. Thats just me though.

Sit Ingram. That three headed backfield is going to limit the fantasy value of the Saints backs.

Henderson and Addai.

I like Addai to bounce back. The Colts were forced to abandon the ground game because they were down so much last week. the Browns don't exactly have a high powered offense, so I expect a closer game and a large dose of Addai. Henderson is Henderson, but Colston is out and maybe Moore which bodes well. You know the Saints are gonna pass. Collie doesn't have a lot of value without Peyton. And I believe Jacoby is out this week.

Hixon had some good games a few years ago. I think he'd produce if Nicks sits. But if you have better options, that's the way to go.

[gpngc]

Your Addai explanation makes sense ^. But I fear you are a biased Addai owner. Also, Yahoo says Delone Carter is the GL back. Grrrrrrrrrrrreat.

I don't own Addai in any leagues I'm in.

Assuming Dez is healthy by Sunday pick three

Dez Bryant vs. SF
Miles Austin vs. SF
Brandon Marshall vs. Houston
Reggie Wayne vs. Cleveland

[gpngc]

My thing about Ingram is this:

Payton doesn't want to look like a ******* dick trading valuable draft capital for a guy and not using him (and it's not like Ingram was really a liability at all either).

He got about 13 carries in a game in which A) they were trailing the whole time. B) The passing game worked for 400 yards. C) The OL was dominated for the most part.

Plus, the Packers run defense is better than the Bears run D (and the Saints likely won't start the game down 14-*******-0 because of a Colston fumble and no defensive resistance).

In conclusion, I think Ingram could potentially have a good week with 15-18 touches and a TD or 2.

Thoughts?

Sit Wayne. Haden is rising to be the new SDCB. Plus Indy will likely try to get the other guys involved more rather than forcing it to Wayne this week. And they'll probably run more assuming they aren't down by 17 after like 6 minutes.

Agreed with the poster above me, sit Wayne. Don't trust Kerry Collins as far as I could throw him. Wayne's TD last week came in garbage time. Plus, I expect Browns/Colts to be extremely run heavy.

[fenikz]

i agree with those 2, damn nice receivers though

Is SJax definitely out?

Not definitively yet... But I would not come close to banking on him, and if he does play, I still don't know if I want to play him...
