I need two of Matt Forte, Kevin Smith, Justin Forsett or Cedric Benson. I'm tempted to start Forsett and Benson as of now and then go with Forte if Benson is going to be limited. The Lions game being tomorrow makes it tough.

Don't totally bank on Forsett, they're talking about Julius being ready to go.
Makes no sense to me either way for the Seahawks or Bengals. For Seattle, well, you're out of it, play the kid and see what he has. For Cincy, well, if you can't take care of this game without Benson, you've got bigger issues. I mean sure, if Benson is 100%, get him in there, but if he's not why not give him another week or two (I think they have Detroit on tap for next week) in games you should be able to win fairly convincingly without him?

Ok, 5 slots and 7 guys to choose from...
RB, RB, WR, WR, RB/WR RBs: Pierre Thomas (vs. NE) Ryan Grant (@ Det) Brandon Jacobs (@ Den) WRs: Vincent Jackson (vs. KC) Mike Sims-Walker (@ SF) Hines Ward (@ Bal) Santana Moss (@ Phi) (I also have Crabtree, but I don't think he factors in) Currently, I have the following slated: RB Grant (@ Det) RB Jacobs (@ Den) RB/WR Ward (@ Bal) WR Jackson (vs. KC) WR Sims-Walker (@ SF) I'm torn on Brandon Jacobs, Hines Ward and Pierre Thomas. Which of the three do I sit? |

Went with Palmer, pretty much just a gut feeling. I already have a playoff spot locked up, and Palmer hasn't thrown a TD pass in the previous 2 weeks, he's gotta be due.

Seems like a weekly thing now for me...
QB: Romo or Eli? They're playing each other, and I think the Giants have a better pass defense. But Eli is battling injuries? I'm leaning towards Eli this week. RB: Mendenhall (vs Raiders) or Pierre Thomas (vs Redskins)? I think Mendenhall is the clear choice here, but wanted to pt this up for debate in case I'm missing something obvious. WR: Rice, Harvin, or Colston? Colston is going against the Redskins, the #1 pass defense... so I'm leaning towards Rice (vs Cardinals) right now. DEF: Bengals (vs Lions) or Jets (vs Bills)? I only ask because the Bengals D was a disappointment last week and it almost cost me a win since the Jets exploded and I ended up winning the week by 0.2 points (yes, you read that right). Thanks in advance and I'll try to help you guys out too. |

I like Eli, Mendenhall and Jets.
I think Id consider Colston even against the #1 pass defense. He is a consistent option inside the red zone for the Saints. Harvin and Rice are solid plays but its hard to predict who is going to get their scores throwing AP, Shiancoe, and even Berrian into the mix. I am struggling with Forsett/Slaton/Cartwright/Harvin at my flex postion. I also have another issue in that the Jets playing tomorrow night meaning my 3rd qb(Sanchez) plays while I wont know anything for sure on Warner until later in the week and I dont have Leinhart. 2 QB league. |

Its a 10 person league where each team starts 2 qbs. Any QB that has a chance of playing gets picked up quickly. I have Rodgers, Warner and Sanchez so I wasnt real concerned about a better 3rd QB. My own fault for this situation. Forsett has looked good. There is talk of Julius Jones coming back so that is my concern with him. Last edited by jbergey22 : 12-02-2009 at 12:37 PM. |

I have Forsett as well and while I typically despise the whole idea of losing a starting spot to injury, I don't know how the Seahawks can sit him at this point. He has been really, really impressive (yeah, I know, it was the Rams last week but still). The Steelers made the move to Mendenhall and I think the Seahawks *should* make the move to Forsett but I don't think they will unfortunately. |

I completely agree. Even as a part time player you could see he was better. This Steve Slaton situation has me baffled as well. They bench Slaton(probably deserved) and go with Moats who has 2 good games. They give Slaton his starting spot back but they give Brown most of the carries and dont even play the back that was doing well(Moats). Last edited by jbergey22 : 12-02-2009 at 12:49 PM. |

What are your guys thought about P.Manning in fantasy football playoffs? You think I should be actively looking for a backup for him? Is Jim Sorgi (Manning's backup) a reasonable add? Or a guy like Vince Young? Or should I not worry about them sitting him?

Start three of:
Frank Gore @ Seattle Cedric Benson v. Detroit Jamaal Charles v. Den Knowshon Moreno @ K.C. I think that Gore is a lock. I am almost certain that Benson is a lock. So it comes down to Moreno v. Charles. Right now, I am leaning toward Charles, but it is not an easy call. |

I'd worry. Management has been very clear that they're going to start resting people, and they've rested Manning in the past. I'd look on the WW for a good backup, paying attention to the matchups they'll have in those weeks. Now, I wouldn't sit Manning unilaterally - I'd check the matchups each week. |

Here are my choices for WW QB's: V.Young - I just picked him up (in week 15 plays Miami, 16 San Diego) J.Campbell (15 NYG, 16 Cowboys) A.Smith (15 Phi, 16 Det) M.Cassell (15 Cle, 16 Cinci) Quinn - probably the best match up but it is Quinn and the Browns (15 KC, 16 Oak) So which one other than Manning's backup do you like out of these? Is Jim Sorgi even worth picking up?

Week 15 I would still think you'll see Manning out there full-time. So I would look solely at the week 16 match-ups. Doing that, I would recommend Alex Smith against Detroit. Cassell is worth watching though to see how the Cassell-Chambers match-up grows and Bowe will be back (in what capacity, who knows) then as well.

I wouldn't pick up Sorgi because in Week 16 they play the Jets.
You know, I might pick up Alex Smith. Obviously start Manning over Smith in Week 15 (Colts @ Jax), and hope they play Manning for a quarter or two to build a lead, and then watch Smith destroy Detroit in Week 16. |

We scored the second most points this season, but could only manage a 7-6 record and no playoffs.
My defending championship team also scored the second most points and finished 7-6. Luckily that squad did make the playoffs.

I have Schaub, and I grabbed Alex Smith when I saw that the 49ers play Detroit the championship week. I'm fighting for my life in getting into the playoffs (if I win this week I'm in, if I lose several factors come into play and I'd much rather control my destiny). I may even grab Vince Young (against StL) for this weekend because I need the win. The only consolation if I don't get into the playoffs is that I fight for the #3 overall pick for next season (keeper league)...if I win the consolation bracket (Picks 1 and 2 would be already settled). I would then keep Chris Johnson, Ray Rice and either Schaub or Harvin and have the #3 overall...but I'd rather win the 200 bucks.

Guys, thanks for your help thus far this year. My rag-tag group (with some steady regulars) has gone 10-3 in our 14 team league and is the #1 seed.
Current roster: QB- Brady, Schaub RB- Mendenhall, Addai, Kevin Smith, Harrison, Forsett WR- Moss, Driver, DeSean Jackson, Meachem, Devery Henderson TE- Fred Davis K- Hartley D- Packers So I have two questions entering the playoffs. #1- Brady (Carolina, @ Buffalo, Jacksonville) or Schaub (Seattle, @ St. Louis, @ Miami)? My gut tells me probably Schaub throughout. #2- Should I cut one of the two Saints receivers OR the Packers D and pick up the Arizona Defense (@ SF, @ DET, St. Louis) over the Packers (@ Chicago, @ Pittsburgh, Seattle)? |

#1 - Both are dinged up but Schaub is without Slaton and his non-throwing shoulder is a factor, plus I think there is no way the Texans make the playoffs so sooner or later they are a non-factor; New England however is in the thick of the fight and will be battling to the end. I'd certainly ride Brady (again dependent on health) in Carolina and see what transpires. #2 - How many receivers do you start? How many points do you get from defense? New Orleans can score at will and having two receivers with their schedule is nice, even if you aren't starting them, but they lack consistency in scorers from their outer tier of players (Meachem is looking better than Devery though).

Thanks a ton on #1, it's been a tough back-and-forth all year. As for #2, we start 3 receivers and get a point per catch, per 20 yards, and 6 per td. Defenses score 10 for a shutout and gradually lose points as they allow points up to a -2 for 35+. We get 2 points per pick or fumble recovery, 1 per sack, 6 per td, and 1 per 20 return yards. Thanks a lot! Brad |

WR - Robert Meachem or Devery Henderson @ ATL or Pierre Garcon vs DEN? Hines Ward is still Questionable, too, so if he goes, he's in the mix.
Flex - QB Bruce Gadkowski (vs WAS), the other of Henderson/Meachem (@ ATL), RB Brandon Jacobs (vs PHI), or Garcon (vs DEN)

Okay, I have to pick 2 of the following (1 pt per 10 yards receiving/rushing, 6 pts per TD, no PPR):
Calvin Johnson @ Bal DeSean Jackson @ NYG Derrick Mason vs Det Calvin might have Culpepper at QB and Jackson is coming off the concussion. Those are the two I'd like to start, but I'm starting to lean towards Mason over Johnson.

I'd say Johnson & Mason. Johnson because he's obviously the #1 target and will get the majority of the looks. Mason because... er... it's Detroit.

That's actually part of my worry with Mason. How long until it's ground game central? Detroit is likely playing from behind, so Johnson should be active all game, but how long will Mason factor in?

Would you dare start Brown's Jerome Harrison tonight? It's shitty here in Cleveland and I'm guessing both teams are going to run the ball - a lot. My other options for my #2 RB are: Fred Jackson, Larry Johnson, & Snelling

In my money league I beat my opponent, 162-95.
Everyone in the league had a comment about it. I just hope that the team saved some of that for next week.

Won both of my money league playoff games, so these next two games are crucial and I'd like input please
QB: Romo (@Saints) or Eli (@Redskins)? I've stuck with Romo for a couple of weeks now, and I'd say I should stick with him again here... RB2: Mendenhall (vs GB), Pierre Thomas (vs Cowboys), or Hightower (@Detroit)? I'd say the Packers D eliminates Mendenhall as a choice. Pierre Thomas goes against a decent run D. Hightower has the best matchup but looked like crap last night. So I'm pretty stuck here. WR: I need two of: Reggie Wayne (@Jaguars), Colston (vs Cowboys), Rice/Harvin (@Carolina). Wayne has the best matchup, but he hasn't done much and will they rest him? Colston has the second-best matchup, while the Viking WRs have the worst matchup... I'm pretty stuck here too, even second-guessing an automatic Wayne start? D/ST: Jets (vs Falcons) or Bengals (@Chargers)? I'd say Jets since they've played alright lately. Thoughts? |

QB-Romo - He may have to throw to make it competitive RB-Mendenhall, simply on the basis that he won't split carries, or Hightower in hopes of a high scoring game. WR-Reggie and Colston, don't overthink, but monitor say from rotoworld.com on info (not from the features, but from the player news). D/ST-I have the Bengals, I'd lean towards the Jets if Matty Ice isn't playing

Big help needed. I squeaked by the first round but the Kevin Smith injury was a hit to my depth so I did some quick scrambling and dumped all my backups to pick up more RB options.
We're a PPR league, which two should start: Addai @ Jacksonville Mendenhall vs. Green Bay Forsett vs. Tampa Bay Felix Jones @ New Orleans Ganther vs. New York Giants Snelling @ New York Jets Beanie Wells @ Detroit |

I remain alive (and in the playoffs) in one league. Semis this week. Here are my decisions:
0.1 pt for completions & rushing attempts 0.5 pt for receptions 6 pt for all TDs 1 pt for 20 passing yards 1 pt for 10 rushing yards 1 pt for 10 receiving yards QB (Pick 2): Rodgers @ Pit, Warner @ Det, Flacco vs. Chicago I think Warner's an obvious start. I would tend to go with Rodgers, but how reeling is the Steelers' D, really? And it's outside in Pittsburgh. I'm thinking maybe Flacco has a better upside at home vs. a terrible Chicago D. WR (Pick 2): A Johnson @ StL, V Jackson vs. Cin, B. Marshall vs. Oak, N. Burleson vs. TB, G. Jennings @ Pit Leaning towards Johnson & Jackson here. Thinking the Raiders will have to focus on Marshall (and they have Nnamdi), and Jennings has been good, though not great, recently. However, Johnson has a little tweak and Cin have shut down some #1 receivers. Plus, there's also a flex spot (see below). RB (Pick 2): A Peterson @ Car, B Wells @ Det, F. Jackson vs. NE Peterson & Wells are obvious choices. Does Jackson belong in the flex (see below)? TE (Pick 1): D. Clark @ Jac, B. Celek vs. SF Leaning towards Clark, but will he get rested somewhat? Do either of these guys belong in the flex spot? Flex (W/R/T, Pick 1) Probably picking between Jennings & Jackson, but Marshall and Celek are also possibilities, I think. Yes, this team is somewhat stacked, but my opponent is decent, and I don't want to fall on my face. |

This is pretty much a no brainer. Forsett has been very good this season and is playing a terrible defense. Jacobs has been mediocre and is playing a pretty good defense. I don't see what's to decide.

Worth dropping Bowe to pick up Cribbs on the chance that he does become Cleveland's RB? Tricky situation with the position eligibility and I'm somewhat deep at WR (D. Jackson, Ca. Johnson, D. Mason, D. Bowe) so I can take a bit of a flyer, but I don't have many resources for insights into the Brownies.

Alright, week 1 of playoffs, Joseph Addai on my team, time to call in the cavalry. 12 team league, 10 yds/pt rec/rush, 6 pts per td, no ppr.
QB Drew Brees (Dallas) RB Pierre Thomas (Dallas) RB Ryan Grant (@Pitt) RB/WR Joseph Addai (@Jacksonville) WR Larry Fitzgerald (@ Det) WR Santana Moss (NYG) TE Vernon Davis (@ Philly) K Stephen Gostkowski (@Buf) D Ravens (vs. Chicago) Bench: QB Jason Campbell (NYG) RB Ryan Moats (@ St. Louis) WR Robert Meachem (Dallas) WR Santonio Holmes (GB) WR Jeremy Maclin (SF - Injured) TE Zach Miller (@ Denver) D Chargers (Cincy) So basically the question is whether Addai warrants a go over the 3 receiver options (or the darkhorse Ryan Moats with Slaton on IR), and whether Moss vs. the Giants is a better play than Holmes vs. GB or tripling up on Saints with Meachem. (FWIW I've scored more than my opponent 5 of the last 6 weeks, but ESPN currently favors him by 4.) |

Dola - longer term question. 4 Keepers (I've advocated for more) and again 12 team league. Brees and Fitzgerald obviously, but then do I go Thomas/Grant? I'm not sold on Addai staying ahead of Brown long (or even Thomas ahead of Bell/Bush) and I always hate having Ryan Grant on my team (seems so boom/bust). Would I be crazy to keep Vernon Davis and only 1 RB?

I know what you're saying about Grant, but clearcut #1 RBs are becoming more rare every year. Grant is that, and it seems there are no thoughts in Green Bay to change that. As much as he's up and down, he's the most consistent back on your team. Thomas is less so, with Bush (rightly) the primary recieving back, Thomas already gets no receiving yards, but with both healthy, also shares the rushing load with Bell. Plus, if your primary rushers are Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell, that probably makes RB a need position in the offseason.

How do the keepers work? Does it cost draft picks? Is there any benefit to not keeping them? If you don't keep either of those guys and in the end you end up getting a few picks before everyone else, because everyone spent their 1st through 4th rounds on keepers, I wouldn't keep either then. If you don't get any benefit, then I'd keep them. Grant is steadily unspectacular. I see no reason not to expect another 1200/8 season next year as I don't think they will expend any high draft pick at the RB position (they need OT/CB help and would see them drafting a RB in the 3rd or 4th round so, no threat to Grant)

My RBs are limping into the playoffs.
I have Turner (out), Smith (out) and then D. Williams, Forsett, Addai, Charles. Charles is a given vs Cleveland and I was leaning towards Forsett also given Carolina vs Minnesota.
