Week 15 FF Thread - The Playoff Edition

Assani, this decision boils down to whether you want to start the hot hand, or the consistent performers.

Steven Jackson is a lock (pending tonight's performance, ie injury), so the decision is really between Bush and Parker.

I've always been an advocate of starting the most consistent player, then goto individual matchups if that's a wash. In this case, Parker is clearly the more consistent of the two, and even though Bush has been red-hot lately, you KNOW what you're gonna get from Parker, not really the case w/ Bush.

One thing to consider is that Parker's stats on the road vs at home have been bizarrely different this year.

Through 7 games at home he is averaging 132 ypg, 5.4 ypc and has 8 TDs.

Through 6 road games he is averaging ~46 ypg, 3.0 ypc and has 2 TDs.

fluking my way into the playoffs.

You don't say.

I've made lots of moves in the past weeks - neither of those two defenses started for me in the past 2 weeks. (Texans two weeks ago, Titans this week). I've probably started 6 different kickers (offhand, Tynes, Longwell, Hanson, Andersen, and I think Gramatica have started for me) and at least 6 different defenses based on matchups - I've acquired almost a third of the league's defenses (Giants, Saints, KC, Packers, Jets, Raiders, Lions, Titans, Texans, Cardinals) and dropped them over the course of the season (some of them erroneously, as you can see).

Two weeks in a row I have followed the advice of this board and not played Reggie Bush and two weeks in a row that has led to a loss. This is week 1 of the playoffs for me and I MUST win. So, once again I turn to you for help

1 point per reception, 1 pt/10 yards rush or rec, 6pt/TD

Pick TWO:

Reggie Bush vs Washington
Stephen Jackson AT Oakland
Willie Parker AT Carolina

Thoughts and comments much appreciated.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd sit Willie P this week. Like I said in my last post, he hasn't put up big numbers (at all) so far this year on the road. Also Carolina has the best run defense of those three teams. He also loses a bit of value vs. the other two in your league because he gets so many fewer receptions.

Choose my starting lineup

Standard scoring 6 for TD's Run/Rush 4 for Pass
Bonus at 100-(5)/150-(3) yards rush/run...300 yard pass-(5)
Bonus for long Td's...rushing and receiving and passing

QB-Farve
QB-Garcia
QB-Leinart
RB-Willie Parker
RB-Sammie Morris
RB-Maurice Jones Drew
WR-Roy Williams
WR-Steve Smith
WR-Donald Driver
WR-Sanatio Holmes
TE-Winslow
TE-Shockey

Have to Star 1 QB,2RB,3WR, 1TE and 1 FLEX...QB/WR/RB/or TE.

I kind of know what I may do but this past week kind of threw things in the air.

My opponent is pretty stacked
Eli Manning
Peyton Manning
Reggie Bush
Tatum Bell
Marvin Harrison
Donte Stallworth
Chargers D etc

What I meant was you have 2 kickers and 2 DEFs and neither is playing Oakland anytime soon. [censored] I've probably started 20 kickers and defenses this year.

Haha - true, but I did have the Texans who played the Raiders two weeks ago, and got me a key win.

Should've kept the Chiefs - I drafted them and dropped them week one, haha.

Do I go

QB: Farve
QB(flex): Garcia
RB: Willie Parker
RB: Maurice Jones Drew
WR: SS
WR: RW
WR: DD

or

QB: Farve
RB: Sammie Morris
RB: Willie P
RB: Maurice Jones
WR: SS
WR: RW
WR: DD

[Needle77]

I guess the Garcia or Morris will really depend on if Ronnie Brown is going to be able to play. Or did I miss the boat and he is sitting another week? Garcia against that Giants secondary is very enticing though, I mean Weinke did throw for 400+(in what 62 attempts?).

Oh and I think Shockey at TE, especially if Frye isn't playing because Anderson didn't check down to Winslow that much or at least no where near as much as Frye does.

My guess would be Favre, Garcia, MoJo, Parker, Smith, Williams, Driver, Shockey
