I'm starting Hill over Fitzy this week, and I know Garrard went nuts against Dallas but I don't honestly believe that he will be duplicating that feat against Houston (even though I expect him to have a nice fantasy game). As for Hill, I just love the Detroit offense this year -- it consistently produces. They have the weapons and they get it done. The thing about Fitzpatrick though is that he has very limited downside -- he rarely makes mistakes. I expect the game to be a high scoring one on both sides anyway, so either call will likely be good.
I give the edge to Fitzy because they're at home and Hill is coming back cold after riding the pine for a while.
One more note: Vincent Jackson and Sidney Rice should be 100% owned right now!!! Pick them up ASAP. VJax first, then Sidney if you have the roster space.
You do have a point in that Hill is coming back from a left forearm injury. It's just that I like the Detroit defense a lot better than Buffalo's here, but you may be right.
I think Buffalo will be FORCED to throw, whereas Detroit may have the luxury of running it once in a while. Food for thought.
I'd go with the Eagles defense. Apparently, McNabb, Torain and Portis are not at 100% which bodes well for the defense. I'd start Vick over Ryan. He's probably the only quarterback that can get you 5+ points on the ground alone, not to mention through the air.
I drafted Rice and kept him. I picked up V Jackson off the Waivers in week 7. The guy that dropped him had a bad record fighting for a playoff spot and he had a bunch of players on BYE. I was lucky enough to have a good record this year to have picked these guys up and kept them and I'm hoping to be rewarded. I'm looking forward to week 12 as Rice should be fully healthy and VJax makes his debut.... he's already been practicing. Lineup starting week 12 to my championship run. QB: Vick WR: Randy Moss WR: Vincent Jackson WR: Sidney Rice RB: Adrian Peterson RB: Jamaal Charles WR/TE: Steve Johnson TE: Jason Witten K: Rackers DEF: Eagles
Sounds good. I think TheLasik recommended the same 2 picks. I hope Vick looks to extract some revenge on the Skins for hurting him. 2 pass td's and 2 rushing sounds real good. :grin:
Would you drop Garcon for Vincent Jackson right now? If I wait until Monday, I can get VJax (hopefully) and drop my extra kicker instead.
Didn't you say you're undefeated thus far? Hell ya I drop Garcon RIGHT NOW! I'm surprised VJax is still available in your league. I think he's going to go into beast mode right away for the pass happy Chargers. Plus he's showcasing himself anyways. He's got a lot on the line and the weak Colts secondary is going to pay first starting week 12.
He would be a nice pickup going into the fantasy playoffs. But I'm worried that they're not going to use him, or he's going to be hella rusty. It would be low risk, though, Dropping Garcon, since my starting 3 WRs are Jennings, Roddy White, and Desean Jackson. My only worry is that White gets made inactive last minute tonight and then I have no subs for him since Jennings is on bye.
I think they're going to use him and use him a lot. He's their most dangerous receiver and he's the healthiest. He's not going to be rusty as he will have had about a month of practice. He's a restricted FA so you know he's playing for good $ and the Chargers need him for their run. I think White plays tonight and even if he doesn't and you lose I think Vjacks can put you over the top in the playoffs.
The same starting 3 might not be starting when the time comes due to injury etc. Besides, I'd rather have the problem of not knowing what player to start cause I'm so stacked rather than having to play scrubs/mediocre players cause I don't have enough good players to play for sure.
I traded for Rice when I packaged Larry Fitz and B Jax for Rice, MJD, and Lance Moore. He's on my IR and will remain till probably week 11. As soon as I heard V Jax was signing his tender I picked him up, I'm looking for a big finish since I'm 5-4. I need to go on a four game win streak to finish the season.
I'm thinking about offering this in my PPR league. What do you guys think? Chris Cooley, Nate Burleson and Ronnie Brown (selling high on NB and RB) for Dez Bryant and Randy Moss. I'm banking on Moss breaking out and the Titans still play the Texans twice. It may appear to be slightly lopsided in my favor, but the stats are in his favor, especially since he will be starting all three guys.
I wouldnt trade Moss at all until I see him play a game with the Titans also its not just the Texans I think the Titans have a very easy schedule coming up when it comes to WRs. Personally I also stay away from any players on that Washington team there is nothing about their offense that I like
He's already been practicing with the team since last week. I read an article on it between him and Rivers looking good and in a drunken stupor added him a week or two earlier than I should've.
