Official Week 13 FF Thread

[AncientPC]

. . . because it's never too early to start planning for next week.

QB: Carson Palmer vs Baltimore or Tony Romo vs Giants? Both QBs are on fire but after the Pitts @ Balt game today I'm definately leaning towards Romo. Besides, Giants are imploding with Tiki and their coach criticizing each other.

RB2: Unless Shaun Alexander looks like his old self against GB in MNF I'm not going to play him @ Denver. I have Reggie Bush and can pick up Deuce against SF, but there are better match ups out there.

Right now I'm looking at Addia @ Ten, Maroney vs Detroit, and Jamal Lewis @ Cinn.

Addai's having a great game against Philadelphia, but his fantasy scoring is too inconsistent week in and week out.

Jamal Lewis has 5 TDs in his last 5 games, Ravens is consistently establishing their running game, and Lewis has usually done pretty well against Bengals.

Maroney gets ~59.7 kr yds/gm and is starting to see more screen passes as well. Unfortunately Detroit doesn't score enough TDs recently for Maroney to get enough kr chances. The only reason I would add him now is because he has a relatively good schedule for the rest of the year (Det, @ Mia, Hou, @ Jax, @ Ten).

TE: I am pissed for second guessing myself at the last second and pulling LJ Smith out of the lineup for Crumpler. Even without the TD, LJ Smith would've given me more points. Vick couldn't hit a barn 20 yards away.

They didn't pass to LJ Smith as much as I hoped, so I'll be looking for another TE. Looking at Cooley vs Atl or Ben Watson vs Det.

Edit: Ben Watson, sorry. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I was thinking about Cooley from Washington vs Atlanta . . .

I really don't see how any of these are close.

Tennessee can't stop the run, the Giants can't stop the pass, and Cooley > Washington.

Just because Tennesee can't stop the run doesn't mean the Colts won't pass. In the last Colts vs Tennessee game the play calling was 31 pass / 34 run and Rhodes did most of the damage (20 for 84 vs Addai's 13 for 62).

Ancient,

Look for Addai to proggressively get more and more of the load as the season progresses, as he has. This doesn't mean that him and Rhodes couldn't split next week but week 5 Addai and week 13 Addai are way different.

EDIT: Just know that I think Jamal Lewis and Addai are very close and I would have a hard time with this too. The best plan is to drink a lot and whatever gut feeling arises go with it!

My gut says Jamal Lewis.

I think a lot of Addai support is a kneejerk reaction to the Eagles game. I'm not saying that the Titans will be any better against the run, but Addai has been inconsistent and Colts have a lot of offensive options to spread the ball around.

On the other hand, Lewis ran pretty well against a strong Pittsburg run defense, has a history of rushing well vs Bengals, Bengals run defense sucks, and Lewis doesn't share carries.

[Triumph36]

AncientPC,

The Titans run defense is BAD. I'm talking - as bad as Philadelphia's was tonight. I'm not saying he will score 4 TDs, but he could easily score one. Lewis vs. Addai is close, but Rhodes is getting much less of the ball.

Also, I don't think my decisions are too close except at WR, but I'll post them anyway.

Dynasty league, TD only, crazy-ass scoring, yadda yadda

1 QB: Brees vs SF, Pennington @ GB, Garrard @ MIA
2 RB: Westbrook vs CAR, Gore @ NO, McGahee vs SD, Caddy @ PIT
* 2 WR: DJax @ DEN, Fitzgerald @ STL, Horn vs SF, Cotchery @ GB, A Bryant @ NO
1 TE: Heap @ CIN, Stevens @ DEN
1 K: Stover @ CIN, Tynes @ CLE


* As mentioned above, I could activate Devery from my reserve roster, which would mean dropping a WR, likely Antonio Bryant. I don't think this would be a big loss; his numbers have sucked since Week 2 and his DUI makes me nervous for his future in SF. On the other hand, I think platooning DJax/Fitzgerald/Horn is still a very solid option at WR for this year, and it allows me to retain both Bryant and Henderson until next year, when I should have a better idea of their situations for 2007 (ie, whether Horn retires, whether the Niners draft/sign some new WRs).

I didn't see any replies to this, I wouldn't mind some thoughts.

Drop Bryant to bring up Devery, assuming Colston is out? Keep in mind, dynasty league, future rights, yadda yadda.

[By-Tor]

Sighhhhhh, 14 points from being league champ...instead, I will most likely finish dead LAST.

4-7-1 going into the final weekend.

4 losses by a combined 13 points.

1 tie.

Best record in the league is 8-4




arrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

[SoloAJ]

Romo because Giants Pass D doesn't scare me...and it may stay close enough to need passing (maybe.)

Addai because its TEN and hes proving he is more of the RB than Rhodes (though I'd expect a high yard game with no TD maybe)....Lewis 2nd choice.

And learn Ben Watson's name or else you can't start him.
