[Official 2012 NFL Season] Fantasy Football Lineup Advice Thread

randall cobb or kenny britt?

Also, Martellus bennett or Jermichael Finley

 

Id go with Cobb but Im not sure if he'd get many looks. Martellus Bennett forsure

 

For my WR3
Nate Burleson or Marques Colston or Davone Bess


For my RB2
Ryan Williams or Benson or Matt Forte

 

Dennis Pitta was Dennis ****ta last night.

 

What's the word on Nicks?

 

He is doubtful. Hopefully you have other options for Sunday night or Monday night if you want to wait it out on his status.

so Cam Newton @Atl or Phillip Rivers @KC?

also for flex in my other team:
P. Thomas @GB
L. Moore @GB
M. LeShoure vs Min
A. Hawkins @Jac

Thanks in advance.

 

Tough call. I really don't like Rivers, but Atlanta has been tough this season. I'd probably go with Rivers.

I'd say Mikel.

 

Possible Nicks moves:
1) Could start Titus Young in place of Nicks and be done with it.
2) If Nicks is a game time decision by noon, I could drop Meachem and pick up Barden, who had a good game last week with Nicks out and play him.
3) If Nicks doesn't play and Barden is a bad move, play Ogletree on Monday.

Right now I'm leaning towards Young, unless I hear positive news regarding Nicks come Sunday.

 

The only reason Young had a good week was because he caught a Hail Mary.

 

Still had 6 receptions... The other 5 avg only 5.5 yards, but still, he got targets last week, which is promising.

Would you then suggest playing Ogltree or picking up Barden for either Meachem or Ingram?

 

In your mind this is how you see Titus Young:

In reality this is how you should see him:

Pick up Barden while you still can. Nicks is out more than likely and Eli will spread the ball around well. He'll be a good option this weekend.

 

Non PPR league, pick 3 WRs

Demariyus Thomas (DEN) vs OAK
Sidney Rice (SEA) @STL
Barden (NYG) at Philly
A.Hawkins (CIN) @Jac

 

Just got offered Ryan Matthews and Colston for Harvin and Reggie Bush. I declined but I'm thinking about counter offering Dez Bryant, Desean Jackson, and Reggie Bush for Matthews and Colston. What do y'all think about it?

 

Yeah, I wouldn't do that deal, either. Although I do think that Mathews is a buy low player, this trade is asking stud value for him. No way do I include Harvin for anybody not named Arian Foster, etc.

I would however try to pry Mathews away from him with Bush as the centerpiece of that deal.

 

I ended up counter offering Cruz, Bush, Demarco Murray for Matthews, Richardson, and colston.

 

I have some interesting plays/decisions this week.

RBs (pick two):

The Workhorses (limited ppr upside):

Micheal Bush @ Dallas
In a game in which Forte probably plays and against a tough Dallas run defense, I see Bush's fantasy value as limited. Problem is, he has been my most consistent fantasy back thus far through the season.

Deangelo Williams @ Atlanta
Atlanta's pass defense has been stellar while their run defense has given up 5 tds plus 128 yrs/game. Atlanta's offense also may force Carolina to abandon the running game if Carolina gets in a big hole early, which means either Stewart or Tolbert will get the lion share of plays. I do think that deangelo has an AP type of running style and ap racked up 2 tds in week 1. I could see Deangelo getting 87 yards and a score in this spot, especially if the game is close.

PPR Guys

Jonathan Stewart @ Atlanta
Jstew has only played in 1 game so far this season. You could look at that as fresh legs or rusty. Atlanta is a good matchup for him, that is, if he is playing and tolbert don't eat into his fantasy value. The big question with Stewart is how much playing time will he get. I feel that either stewart or deangelo will have a good game this week the matchup is pretty good. But which player? Interesting to note that Deangelo had his best fantasy output in week 2 when stewart played.

The Wildcard

Joique Bell Vs Vikings
I know that most people here don't know who Joique Bell is, but the guy has been lightning it up with catches out of the backfield. Last week, in overtime of the titans-lions game, it was Bell in the backfield and not Mikel Leshoure. Jim Schwartz said cryptically that he sees Bell as the "closer." How knows what that means but in my ppr league Bell has produces 2 near double digit weeks. Also, take into consideration that Mikel Leshoure is listed as questionable with a groin injury and Bell might see more touches. Minny might be a middle of the road run defense, but going against CJ the floodgates might open up.
