[Official 2012 NFL Season] Fantasy Football Lineup Advice Thread

AP has a bye week, so I need a RB#2, I have leshoure (vs GB) and daniel thomas (vs Buf), or I could pick up donald brown (@NE) or ronnie brown (@DEN)

 

I'm stuck in a smilar situation. C Johnson is bye and D Murray is out. That leaves me either Mendenhal who practiced yesterday, or D Thomas.

For you, it's between an OK def with a starter or a bad D with a backup. I'd say go with Mikel.

Should I go with Thomas tonight, or wait and use Mend?

 

I would use Thomas, can't trust Mend yet.


Any other options?

 

Felix and Woodhead are available to pick up.

 

Actually...

I would not start D. Thomas, traveling on a short week, Reggie will get his work after a fumble benching last week.

I would not start Mendenhall even if it pratices in full all week. Don't know how hard they'll work him in the first game back, and Dwyer and Redman are still there to split. BAL will stack the box and force Leftwich to throw.

Mostly all of Woodhead's points last week came cause of two touchdowns. Didn't do much yardage wise.

I would start Felix Jones. He is starting to pick up his production. At home vs. CLE currently ranked 20th in fantasy points allowed to RBs. And played over 60% of the offensive snaps. Clearly in the majority of touches compared to the other available RBs of your choosing.

 

Thanks Kate81.

Two more, this should be the last for this week.

D Moore v NO
Dez v Cle
Both have potential for big games against easy D.

and

Celek @ Wash
Heath v Bal
Heath has been doing better, and both are without their QBs (maybe). Wash should be an easier game tho.

 

Choose one WR and one TE?

 

yep. different league.

 

I would go Moore.

Between Celek and Heath... I think both will have to stay back and block more. But if I had to choose, I would go with Heath.

 

Just announced... Mendenhall starting on Sunday Night.

 

R.Mathews vs Denver or
D. Thomas vs Bills.

Mathews has missed 2 practices in a row with a stiff neck...

 

They said Mathews was playing still after the hit that hurt his neck last week.

So I would think he will play on Sunday.

To me, D. Thomas is a gamble. Bush should get the majority of carries tonight and Lamar Miller is also in the mix for a couple touches.

 

Looking for a pickup at WR because nicks and cruz are on bye.

My backups are Bowe, Shorts, Roberts, and D. Alexander. Should I pick up any of these guys instead:

Josh Gordon, Donald Jones, Andrew Hawkins, Stokley, Davone Bess.

Also my QB's are Schaub and Rivers. Should I stick with Schaub this week or pick up Fitzpatrick?

 

I would start Bowe and Alexander. and I think I would start Rivers over Schaub, cause HOU will not have to throw against JAC. They might, but don't have too. Rivers will have to throw on DEN.

 

PPR league. +5 for 100+ yardage. Which back would you gamble on if McFadden or Murray don't play?

Starks
Felix
Howling
Battle (if Mathews is out)
D. Brown
Redman

 

Definitely Felix, and especially since its also PPR.

 

Dalton at KC or Freeman at Car? TIA

 

I'd roll with Freeman as I would consider him a safer option. Dalton arguably has the higher upside but I'm always wary (probably too wary) of KC at home.

Similar conundrum where my supposed-to-be-bye week QB is riding a hot streak and has a fat matchup, while my stud QB has been dragging a bit.

RGIII at home against #12 passing d, Eagles
Palmer at home against #31 passing d, Saints

 

Brandon Pettigrew vs Green Bay

Or

Heath miller vs Baltimore?

 

Pettigrew.
