***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

I didn't see a week 4 thread up, but please delete this if I somehow missed this. Someone in my league has jumped ship on Randy Moss, who should I drop to pick him up?

QB: Kurt Warner, D. Carr
WR: Smith, Holt, Antonio Bryant, D. Branch
RB: LJ, J. Jones, C. Taylor, Jones-Drew, A. Green
TE: K. Winslow
K: Gould
D: Atlanta

I am dropping Branch for Pennington, but that is pending until tomorrow. Do I drop Maroney or Jones-Drew? I am pretty set at RB with LJ and then playing matchup with Jones, Green, and Taylor. I also will not be keeping 3 QBs, but with the Warner situation I'd prefer to hang onto Carr and I don't really want to let Warner go yet either.

Edited to add that my opponent for next week will be in desperate need of an RB since he still has Alexander in the starting position and will probably pick up whoever I drop. It shouldn't be a big deal as I currently am projected to outscore him 95 to 60, but you can never be too careful

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

i don't see maroney on your list, but certainly don't drop him over jones drew. i would drop jones-drew btw.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

Is Maroney on your team? Don't drop him either way. I think you can live without Drew since he's not a starter.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

I have the Jax defense
my two qb's in 14 team league are
AWalters vs. Cle
MBrunell @ Jax

I'm leaning towards Gamb0000ling and going with Walters...Sun Devils baby

thoughts?

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

pick two rb:

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

I put Vernon Davis on IR; Ben Watson is my starting TE. Kellen Winslow is by far the best TE available but of course, the same bye week as Watson. Do I pick up Winslow anyway and see what happens for the bye week or settle for some crappy TE? And if I do get Winslow, should I ever start him over Watson pending matchups?

two words-Eric johnson

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

WTF is the situation with Mike Bell?

I've got him, Michael Robinson, and Kevin Faulk as my options for my 3rd rb spot. This week, it looks like Robinson will be solid, but obv I need a dependable #3 for the remainder of the season.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

I dropped Bell this week when Morris became the starter in SEA. I would have dropped my 2nd tight end but Shockey is on a bye. Bell was really just a hit-or-miss and last week's performance by TBell likely earned him the full time starting job for awhile.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

Sorry, but yes, Maroney is on my team too. Just picked up Jones-Drew because of the big week but I'll drop him since it looks like Maroney will get alot more carries now

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

cds, brunell is the safe pick but you already know that.

mcgahee, def pick up winslow. drop a scrub during your byweek or even watson.

dcopp, mbell is worthless at this point unless tacobell goes down.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

Burdzz, that is the easiest decision ever.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

My roster is first page. Culpepper is just available and my current QBs are Carr and Warner. I have Carr starting. Should I am in the process of picking up Pennington on waivers once he clears. Daunte has been terrible, but should I drop Carr this week and pick him up for this week against Hou?

Who to start

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

who to start? fyi, league counts return yds/tds the same as rushing/recieving.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

branch

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

drew bennett is fantastic AND as an added bonus he is an emergency QB for the Titans..aka Young gets hurt or whomever that would be great if you can get QB stats in the WR position

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

I want to start Rueben, but will there be any lingering effects due to the injury? If he's 100%, maybe 90%, against the horrid Oakland D he's a definite play but I'm just worried about him not playing well due to his short injury.

Ahman has played well. Even played well against Chicago D. Philly D has been pretty solid stopping the run this year but Ahman also can catch and right now is healthy.

WR wise. I like Bennett as well but I think the must plays I have this week are Braylon vs Oakland and Stallworth vs GB. In most years picking Roy would be easy against St Louis but they've actually been much better this year than the last couple of years and are a mid pack team against the pass although Zona lit them last week.

Another interesting note (just checked the stats) is Oakland has given up the least passing YPG so far this year. I guess the teams they've played so far have forced the run.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

flex position, standard scoring.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

ok one more

Victor:

I really like what Mushin has been doing recently, running precise routes and getting open. Seattle has a good defense but I feel like he might be the safest pick. Behind him I say Isaac Bruce. Drew I think had a great game, but as a Jags fan they are deep at rb and to assume that he will do what he did last week every week is to much.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

edtost, i dont know about return yardage, but your RB choice is easy (sit Morris against Chicago) and I'd start Gonzalez against San Fran.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

I'm up against the other undefeated team in my league. He's got 4 cowboys (WR-Glenn, RB-J. Jones, TE-Witten and D-Dallas).
For Kickers I've got Vandergjagt with the Cowboys, or Longwell with the Vikes who has been doing well. I picked him up when Vanderjagt was out, and luckily didn't replace him for the week he had a TD and 3FGs.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

There should be a rule in these threads: no kicker questions.

I say go with Vaderjagt and drop Longwell, because Vanderjagt has already has his bye and you don't have to worry about that anymore.

Carrying two kickers is just plain silly.

-McGee

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

I agree, two kickers is silly. As I said I ended up with two kickers as Vanderjagt wasn't playing and I forgot to drop Longwell (I was at an all weekend music festival). This is the same way I luckboxed my way into picking up Rackers last year, which became a huge score. I would never ask this question if it was just kicker A or B, but I think being up against 3 Cowboys and their defense makes this a somewhat interesting scenario from a strategic standpoint.


Past experience has shown me strategy has no place in Fantasy Football however.

Past experience as a Vikings fan also has shown me how much the Vikings can blow it. Which can mean field goals, which has me thinking about keeping Longwell over Vanderjagt depending on this week's performance.

Edit- good point on Vanderjagt already having the bye. I won't have to juggle to keep a kicker I like again if I just drop Longwell.

Shaun Alexander is supposedly telling friends he thinks he will play this week?

This is killing me. First I go through 2 weeks of 'will he or won't he' with Portis, and now I have this to deal with.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

Does that mean much right now? He's honestly been pretty mediocre so far. If he's still got the same sort of smaller injury, how on earth is he going to get better overnight? He says it's because of "prayer" but come on, he's been pretty mediocre to below average all year long so far after 5 or so seasons of rediculous football.

I don't own Alexander in any of my leagues, but if I did, I'd be real nervous if he comes back before week 7. It just seems unlikely that it can heal completely in that period of time, and if it's already cracked, it's more easily broken.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

Who to start?

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

Also, start Taylor or J. Jones at DAL?

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

Question. S. Moss, B. Edwards, C. Portis, L. Jordan, F. Taylor. Which 4?

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

Leave out Braylon Edwards. He's not quite established yet.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

Easily Warner, he's playing for his job and the Falcons D showed how vulnerable they were on Monday. Also, the chiefs secondary has improved a lot plus they've had an extra week to prepare while the falcons are playing on a short week.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

Typical scoring, with 6pts for QB TD.

Re: ***Official Week 4 FF Thread***
 

spellman, i go with culcrapper and taylor.

stella, portis, jordan, taylor and bralala.
