Gore vs Cincinnati - the Bengals gave up +100 rushing yards vs Denver Wells vs Seattle - I know the Seahawks offense is horrible, but don't know how their defense has been doing. Thoughts
Who do they play? Probably FJ in PPR, LB in pts. But it depends who they're playing. LB will finish top 5 in TDs, FJ won't.
They should be close this week, but I'd still go with Gore for now. Beanie has looked good, but not incredible..
Heavy Fitz over Flacco Mendy as your 3rd. Other league: Rice, Mendy, Fred Jackson as noted above to another guy
Let me throw a question out there: What is the correct strategy when you have the qb of an opponents best wr, and they have a qb to one of your best wrs. Example: I have Josh Freeman. The guy I am playing has Mike Williams. Since, in this league, qb tds are 6 points, I've basically taken away his best wr play. While Freeman still has value since he can pass to other receivers and still put up points without Williams. Williams cannot do the same. Alternatively, he has Eli, and I have Manningham. Since I don't want to use Manningham as a blocker to Eli, would the correct play be to bench manningham in favor of a guy like David Nelson. Does this give me a potential for separation room? What is the general rule on this?
Fitz over Kolb again this week. I don't know what more it will take for people to realize that Fitzpatrick is a pretty good QB, and he's got the weapons to be a legit #1 fantasy QB too. And you know they'll have to be throwing a lot on the Pats -- even Chad Henne put up big fantasy numbers against them.
OK, was offered a new deal for Blount (sorry if this keeps getting old). Send: L. Blount Receive: T. Jones, S. Johnson, M. Floyd YAY or NAY
I'd guess Ward and Jones. Here's my roster: QB: R. Fitzpatrick, K. Kolb RB: F. Davis, R. Rice, A. Bradshaw, L. Blount, R. Williams, K. Moreno WR: L. Fitzgerald, Julio, Jones, H. Ward, J. Knox, D. Jones TE: J. Graham K: Feely DEF: Eagles
I still like the original deal best, given your situation. This deal is probably better, but you have no use for another RB. You have 3 that are better than Thomas Jones.
LOL. Are you playing against him this week? I watched a lot of Bills/Raiders on Redzone last week and Fitz is flourishing in that offense. Kolb may be just as good a QB, but he doesn't have the variety of weapons or the offense. I might end up eating my words since Seattle is pretty bad, but there's no way I'm not starting Fitz over Kolb if those are my options.
No, I'm just a jaded Fitzpatrick owner from last year. The only hope for Fitzpatrick is that the Patriots blow them out and he's forced to throw a lot. Even then, New England's pass defense has a 1:1 TD:INT ratio. Seattle? 2.5:1 Fitzpatrick is a risky play here, I don't like him. Kolb is a much safer bet against a pretty unimpressive Seattle team. Fitz is a matchup play, and this just isn't a good matchup. Try using him week 4, week 10, or week 16.
