Running Fantasy Football thread

I'd stand pat, pick up a WR off waivers (long as you don't have to drop someone of consequence). LenDale isn't enough of an upgrade to your current RB corps to warrant losing your WR2. And you'll be going 2 WR/3RB most weeks anyway, right (esp. with bye weeks coming to an end)? So Coles (when not concussed) and Moss are more than a solid combo, as are your 3 RBs with Westy and AP being perhaps the best, most reliable weekly 1-2 combo you can possibly have in fantasy right now (outside of, say, Addai/Willie Parker) and Gore, even though he's been flat-out bad, as a #3. He's a #2 and even a #1 for stubborn owners holding into his "2006 value" in deeper leagues.

If anything, if I had your roster, I'd be looking not for anotehr 3rd/4th RB, but to package Gore & Coles for a better WR to pair with Moss. If you could run Westy/AP/Moss and then a Wayne/Housh/Braylon-type WR out there every week you'd be golden...and then you play match-ups with your Flex. Find the guy in your league who has some stud wideouts and little RB depth and then play the "Gore has easy match-ups coming up/Alex Smith and Vernon Davis are back to open up the offense" card....you might be able to land a stud WR that way.

 

So after losing Ronnie Brown, Cadillac and Deuce McAllister, I've now lost DeShawn Wynn. Needed 5 freekin points to win last week, and he gets 1 yard and crashes. Shaun Alexander better pick it up.

 

Simple question. Who do I start at WR2: Deion Branch (@ Cleveland) or Andre Davis (@ Oakland)?

 

DeShawn Wynn killed me last week too. I figured he was a better play against the Denver defense than Jennings. All I needed was 10 points for the win - if Wynn had gotten me a TD and a mere 40 yards rushing I could've won. Instead I watch Jennings come up big and another number added to the loss column.

My top two RBs have under-performed this year -- Maroney and Jones-Drew.

 

If Branch plays, and right now it's up in the air, this is easy: Branch. CLE has let up the most passing TDs in the league. But the injury report could make your decision for you. I don't like Davis against Oakland, but if Branch is out...

 

Cowboys D against Philadelphia or Buffalo against Cincinnati?

 

Buffalo D always seems to step it up at home. With both Rudi and Kenny Watson ailing, I think Carson passes even more than usual which'll feed Buffalo's strength -- they're a surprising #2 in INT's this year behind another surprise, Detroit (though they're almost last in sacks). Me, I'd go w/ BUF at home vs. Dallas on the road, but it's a close call.

 

That's a tough call. Both offenses can put up a serious amount of points. But I'm with Msaint: Go with Buffalo. They did really well last week. Of course, the Jets can make any defense look good. But I'd still play the hot hand.

 

Couple weeks ago I made a trade that was essentially D.Brees for Braylon Edwards (I got Edwards). Dude I traded Brees to, dropped him last week and I claimed him this week.

 

Remind me to get in that league next year. What a dope.

 

Slight rejoicing for Maroney owners: Sammy Morris put on IR today.

 

That sucks. I was hoping to pick him up again once he got healthy. Even before Maroney's injury, Morris was doing pretty well with the goal line carries and such. I wonder if Kevin Faulk will step into that role now, instead of just being a third down back.
