[Official 2012 NFL Season] Fantasy Football Lineup Advice Thread

So you think Lynch vs the Lions' run defense (ranked #5) will yield more points than Bush vs the Jets run defense (ranked #23)?

 

I picked up Dustin Keller and I don't know who to play b/t him and Rudolph. Ponder scares me even worse than Sanchez I think. I need to decide pretty quick I guess.

 

Detroit is giving up an average of 108.8 yard per game rushing, which is 16th in the league. They did shut down Chris Johnson & Lesean Mccoy, but didn't do much against Gore, Forte, & Peterson.

Lynch just went for over 100 yards against the 49ers & also went for over 100 against the Rams, who are both ranked ahead of Detroit in rushing defense.

 

Lions have a good D against RB's. Honestly, all four of my RB's are must starts. It's a nice problem to have but I'm gonna be pulling my hair out when whoever I bench inevitably gets 20+ points. Earlier this year I benched Jamaal Charles when he had that 35 point game and lost a close match-up.

 

Conversely, the Lions have not given up a rushing touchdown all year, and Lynch only has two on the year to begin with. He's also not used much in the passing game.

 

Frank Gore did.

Only Houston hasn't given up a rushing TD.

 

FFS...Gruden is a dirty liar...I stand corrected...

 

It is also hard to say how much of a fluke that is. They aren't like the Bears who've had goal line stands to show rushing TDs will be harder to come by. It just seems like they tend to get hit by big plays, but otherwise play bend don't break defense.

 

B. Lloyd

L. Moore

K. Britt

Pick two from the lot.

 

Moore and Britt.

 

Geene v Mia or Britt v Ind?

I've got burned last week by playing britt over greene and the week before when greene went off for 3 TD, so I really want to play him, but the matchup is very favorable for Britt over Greene...

 

Got one more... pick 3 (or odd man out)

D Bowe v oak
R White @ phi
E Decker v NO
D Thomas v NO

I'm thinking Bowe... thoughts?

 

Moore is a definite. To me its a tossup between the other 2. I'll go Britt, just because he at least has proven chemistry in the past with Hasselbeck and the more favorable matchup.

 

I'd take Thomas & Decker against NO. I don't think you ever sit Roddy, so yeah, Bowe would be my odd man out.

Edit: Brady Quinn also makes me less inclined to play Bowe, even though that won't necessarily hurt, it adds to uncertainty.

 

Should I ride steady with Alex Green vs Jax or go reverse with Rashad Jennings vs. GB?

 

Too add, Trent is iffy this weekend but even if he does play there's no saying he won't be pulled again if those ribs start to act up again.

 

Should I pick up Jennings and hope he comes back? I'd hope he comes back by week 11 since I have cruz and nicks on bye.

 

Forgot to mention also it's ppr... I like Green cause he gets used out of the backfield plus Jax's rush D is ranked 29th... but Jennings can also catch out of the backfield and more than likely as you said they'll be playing from behind.

 

Dolphins have one of the best run Ds in the league. Bench Greene. If he produces, he does so against massive odds.
