[Official 2012 NFL Season] Fantasy Football Lineup Advice Thread

So Im tied heading into today's PPR league matchup

I have Victor Cruz

he has Pierre Garcon and Lawrence Tynes

Can I win?

My other WR option is Hakeem Nicks

 

It's a tossup in Cruz vs Nicks, giving Cruz the slight edge. Of course you can win in PPR. Giants throw more than Skins, but you're probably the underdog.

 

well there is always a real possibility of Garcon getting hang nail or scraping a knee in warm-ups and just sitting it out. better cross your fingers

 

I have nicks and cruz and am down 30.5. Let's see what happens.

 

*Sigh* I'm eliminated from championship playoffs cuz of other team's kicker and defense. Just how it goes

(Thanks for mediocrity, Nicks)

 

should i bench tom brady next week? want to be loyal to my texans, would luck be a good replacement?

 

Well, playoffs in 2 of 4 leagues.

 

Last week of the regular season, and fightin for the last playoff spot and would like some advice.

RBs (Choose 2)
-Frank Gore (vs. Mia)
-Stevan Ridley (vs. Hou)
-Alfred Morris (vs Balt)
-Knowshon Moreno (@ Oak)

WRs (Choose 3)
- Brandon Marshall (@ Min)
- Steve Smith (vs Atl)
- Dwayne Bowe (@ Cle)
- Jeremy Maclin (@ Tb)
- Cecil Shorts (vs NyJ)
- Vincent Jackson (vs Phi)
-James Jones (vs Det)
Flex (Choose 1 from above)


Last week I won while scoring the most points of any team in the League, I went with Marshall, Jackson, Shorts, Ridley, Gore, and Morris. I'm playing the worst team in the league, so I don't need to take a lot of risks this week. Just need a sure win for that 3rd or 4th seed

 

For running backs I would go with Gore and Morris. If the Texans D shows up, it could limit what Ridley is able to do. I don't trust Moreno, so I'd never start him when there are reliable options available.

For WR, I would go Marshall, Smith, Jackson.

 

I'd go Gore and Ridley. Guaranteed touches.

Brandon Marshall, VJax, and James Jones.

If the Flex is any position, go with Alfred Morris. If not, go with Steve Smith.

 

Playoff berth on the line for me, need advice on who to start at RB.

CJ Spiller vs StL
or
DeMarco Murray @Cin

Here's the rest of my starters. Only other slight question mark is whether to go with Matt Ryan or Freeman, but I'll likely stick with Ryan.

 

Touches = Murray.

Homeruns = Spiller.

I'd be worried about using spiller since he's averaging something stupidly low, like 6 carries a game.

 

reposting this since I added Jennings to the list, and now this is a do-or-die elimination game for me.

 

Yes, I'm in the playoffs. As the 6th seed facing Brady who is going to kill the texans secondary.

 

I would Jennings over Stevie then.

 

Playoffs in both leagues, bye earned in one.

Picked up DeMarco Murray and Pierre Garcon off waivers in the other, just in time for the playoffs. Now I'm going to be facing a bit of a quandary setting lineups the next three weeks:

 

^^^ A lot of depth, are you in a 8 man league?

 

I'm getting the feeling I should go with Schaub over Brees this week. NO @ NYG and Brees seems like he's going into his December funk.

Thoughts?

 

What are you smoking...

If Schuab was playing against a D1 college team, I still wouldn't start him over Brees.
