Ladd,
ReplyDeleteSince the playoffs are here....I may have alot of questions this week. Let's start with DEF Packers or Patriots? Pack is on the road vs divisional Bears....Pats have Panthers at Home. I think I like the Patriots. You?
Thanks.
Steve in Plano
Steve,
ReplyDeleteThe Pack has the #2 fantasy defense (at least according to my league's scoring). Pats are way down. Bears offense stinks. Go with GB
Ladd,
ReplyDeleteRomo or Favre? I think Favre...but scares me that the weather could be bad.
Calvin Johnson or Roddy or Sidney Rice or Robert Meachem? I can start two of them?
Thanks! Steve in Plano
Ladd,
ReplyDeleteI have the opportunity to pick up Harrison (CLE RB)on waivers tonight. I would pick him up and drop Chris Brown. My other RBs are: C Johnson, Grant, Forsett, Wells.
And would you pick up Campbell or Gradowski as a back up QB?
Thanks. Craig in Arkansas
Ladd:
ReplyDeleteI need your advice. I asked your advice early in the season for the draft, and I can proudly say I have a 9-4 record, thanks!. That’s where it gets interesting…
I play in a 12 team, 3 division league. My 9-3 record had already won my division, and I WAS in the playoffs. Until the schedule was reviewed, and it turned out that the schedule didn’t match the divisions, and I had played the league’s top team (twice) and split the head-to-head match ups 1-1, yet he is 10-2. Well, this team was supposed to be in my division (as evidenced by playing him twice), and after a league-wide vote voted for proper realignment (in week 13), well I’m on the outside looking in. I’m beyond furious… but, it was making it “correct”, and of course, my addition to the wildcard pool opened up my old division to all 3 teams, and they voted me out. Go figure…
I would like your advice on my lineup going into this final week. I’m pleased to have amazing receivers, but Vincent Jackson has ruined me the past two weeks, in which I benched the habitually questionable Calvin Johnson… and lost because of it. Plus, I just added Vince Young since Palmer & Cutler have killed me recently.
If you can get back to me, I appreciate it under these bitter circumstances. I just want my best line-up and need to score big this week to make the playoffs. Thanks in advance! If you’re ever in Pittsburgh, you have a drink on me! Matt in Pittsburgh.
I’ll show you my projected line-up.
Starters*
*QB Vince Young QB Carson Palmer QB Jay Cutler
*RB Frank Gore RB Jonathan Stewart RB Laurence Maroney RB Darren McFadden
*WR Sidney Rice
*WR Calvin Johnson
*WR Steve Smith
WR Vincent Jackson
*TE Vernon Davis TE Kevin Boss
*K Ryan Longwell
*DEF Phi. Eagles
Pitt or Broncos Defense?
ReplyDeleteV. Davis or T. Gonzo at TE?
Thanks
Steve,
ReplyDeleteI'd go with Romo. Did you see what Brady Quinn did to the Chargers last week? As for Favre's weather issue, how bad can it be inside the dome?
I'd go with Roddy and Meachem (though Rice over Meachem makes sense too).
craig,
ReplyDeleteWith news that Slaton is on IR, I think you should stick with C Brown. Given your RB cast, you probably won't play either, but nothing wrong with keeping them away from the competition.
Gradkowski only has potential in Wk 16. Campbell could be serviceable any week, but you better hope you don't need either.
Puma,
ReplyDeleteFirst off, you got screwed. Late-season "corrections" like that should not have been made after the fact. If someone had caught it earlier, then maybe. But not in Week 13. If you've got money on the line, you should REALLY be pissed.
As for your lineup:
Palmer (Young has better matchup, but I couldn't start him over Palmer, who will likely have to pass often to keep pace)
As for your WRs, I'd go with Rice, V-Jax (I know) and Smith (if he's NYG). Otherwise, Megatron over Carolina Smith.
Good luck!
dunedin,
ReplyDeletePIT and VD
Thank you! I'll post you the results.
