[Official 2012 NFL Season] Fantasy Football Lineup Advice Thread

Thank you Cincy defense. You started off rocky, but made me feel much better in the 2nd half.

 

Made the playoffs as the #4 seed and will be playing the #1 seed. Any advice? I think I need a lot of luck to win.

Quarterback
Drew Brees (vs. TB)

Wide Receivers (pick 3)
Brandon Marshall (vs. GB)
Vincent Jackson (@NO)
James Jones (@CHI)
Jeremy Maclin (vs. CIN)
Cecil Shorts (@MIA)
Steve Smith (@SD

Running Backs (pick 2)

Chicago Defense

What do you think my chances are?

 

Brees.

Marshall, Jackson, Jones.

Morris, Moreno.

Heath Miller.

Stick with Prater.

NYJ D.

Flex: Frank Gore.

Chances: any given Sunday. Good luck.

 

any more thoughts?

 

4 WRs, need to sit 1

Brandon Lloyd vs SF
Steve Johnson vs Sea
T Y Hilton @ Hou
Josh Gordon vs Was

It's going against most of the "expert" picks, but right now I'm inclined to sit Steve Johnson, due to the matchup and the lack of TDs for him this year. Any suggestions?

 

I agree with you.

 

Alright, this is for the finals, $500 is on the line.

Pick 1 WR
Torrey smith v den
Greg Jennings @ chi
Kenny britt v jets

Britt has done the best by far lately, >200 yards and 2 td in the past 3 games. Jennings coming off injury and not producing the past couple weeks but the best qb of the three. Balt offensive coordinator gone, so it's a toss.

I think the safest is britt. But do I want safe or do I want to take a chance on Jennings getting a couple td or smith getting 150 yards? The guys team is better, but he's got some tough matchups.
My line up is: m Ryan, foster, t Richardson, leshore, Marshall, WR, Gresham.
He has Brady Ballard Peterson Crabtree Wallace wiitten.

 

Any ideas? Should I be concerned about Roddy White now too?

 

Aaron Rogers vs Bears? BEST team vs QBs? Cold weather
Josh Freeman vs Saints? WORST team vs QBs

It should be an easy decision going Freeman. But its still Aaron Rogers in the playoffs

Brandon Lloyd has an equally tough matchup to Steve Johnson, is lower on WR rung, and even less productive. Though I guess its better to bet on Brady to deliver than it is Ryan Fitzpatrick. And Lloyd is going against his old team, thats motivation.

Ty Hilton and Josh Gordon for the trophy. Thats fantasy football for you.

 

Not sure I'd be so scared of Seattle this week. Travelling across country and probably taking BUF lightly, and it's supposed to be a tough place to play. Also they're terrible away from home.

 

I can't play Torrey.

Britt could be shut out by Cromartie, and that game could be a low scoring running back affair.

I know Jennings has been bad since he's been back, but I can't see Rodgers not getting back on track with him and forcing himself to find a rhythm with Jennings. This game is basically for the division... I can see Rodgers throwing 3 TD passes, last week GB only had 53 offensive stats.. he will definitely have a lot more opportunities to pass this week with that pass rush on CHI bad offensive line and Cutler now being immobile due to his sprained MCL.


I hope I'm right on this prediction, I know how important this week is for everyone.

Good luck.

 

Officially playoff time for me, and I'm nervous as hell. In a standard scoring NFL.com league where rushing touchdowns and passing touchdowns count the same, should I start Andrew Luck (@ Hou) Matt Schaub (vs Ind) or Collin Caepernick (@NE). Thanks!!!

 

If you're playing for potential, I would start Colin.

If you want to make the safe play, I would play Luck.

Luck will most likely have to throw or run it in himself for IND to score on HOU.

Schaub could have a really good day versus the terrible IND defense, but he's also the most likely out of this group to get vultured by his RB.

 

They're playing in Toronto...not sure if you meant Toronto is supposed to be a tough place or if you didn't know the game is going to be held there.

 

Pick 2:

Brandon Lloyd, Hakeem Nicks, Cecil Shorts, Lance Moore

Pick 2:

Alfred Morris, DeMarco Murray, David Wilson

 

Nicks, Shorts

Morris, Wilson

 

This decision has been bothering me all week.

Denario Alexander vs Carilina
Or
Eric Decker at Baltimore?

Also how do you feel about the Bears D against GB? I'm tempted to pick up Miami off waivers against Jax.

 

RGIII or Tony Romo for today? Actually I'm wondering about RGIII condition after that knee injury last sunday

 

Forgot to say, I have 28 point lead in semifinals. So maybe i should not risk and take Romo for now? With Demaryius Thomas, Chris Johnson, Stevan Ridley and Seahawks on roster I'm feeling kinda confident (also Danario Alexander, Shonn Greene and Lawrence Tynes). Anyone knows condition of RGIII?

 

RG3 is inactive.
