Fantasy Football: Start 'em or Sit 'em

Hey everyone! I've decided to give my hand at a little fantasy football chatter this week. I am avoiding the obvious must start plays like Aaron Rodgers, but even so, there might a few no brainers here and there.  Fantasy Football is often about match ups from week to week rather than simply starting the best players on paper each week.

I'd request anyone who is in the keeper league with me to withhold the information about my record. :P  I am doing well in other leagues, but I am really enjoying sucking for Luck in that keeper league.

Star-divide

Start 'em

Mark Sanchez

I'm sure most of you don't realize that the Patriots pass defense is 32nd in the league. If you have a bye from your starting QB this week, then Mark Sanchez might be a viable option this week.

Steven Jackson

Jackson is hampered by a foot injury this week, but is practicing and will likely play agains the Cleveland Browns this week. The Browns have a 26th ranked rush defense, so expect a big day from the Rams ground attack.

Frank Gore

The Giants are 20th against the run and Frank Gore has been on fire in recent weeks. The 49ers are rolling and the key to their success is running the football. Expect more of the same this week!

Julio Jones

After last week, I doubt anyone is thinking, "Oh, I better bench the rookie!". However, against the Saints he should get plenty of action. Maybe not quite as much action as he did last week, but enough to make him a solid start.

Sit 'em

Tom Brady

It is no secret that Brady is struggling this season and now he has to face the Jets who currently own a top 5 pass defense. Not only that, Brady has become an interception machine in recent weeks. Avoid him until he proves he is out of that funk!

Fred Jackson

I have been waiting for the Buffalo Bills to show themselves to be a fraud for half the season now, but I guess they aren't. However, the Cowboys do possess the 6th ranked run defense, so don't expect a huge day from Jackson.

Steve Smith

The Tennessee Titans defense is pretty stout against the pass and with Steve Smith being the focal point of their shutting down Cam Newton and the Panthers, it might be a good idea to sit him this week.

Dwayne Bowe

The Denver Broncos pass defense is suspect at best, so it will come down to how well the Kansas City Chiefs move him away from Champ Bailey. If Bowe ends up lining up against Goodman ... goodnight!

More Fantasy Football

Many of you don't know this, but I also work at a web design company during the day. We recently launched a new fantasy football website. Ironically, one of the owners is also a Broncos fan. Anyway, they have a promotion running for people to join free leagues with a cash payout to the winners each week. I figured I'd share the wealth here, so long as everyone is of age.

http://idealdraft.com/promo.php

I'm also in the mood for some cash competition, so if anyone is interested in doing a weekly cash league ($2-$3 a week buy-in only as I am not made of money. lol) send me an email at mhrhistory at gmail dot com.  If there are enough interested parties, I'll send out the league info and we'll start it up next week. 

Go Broncos!

Sanchez or Tebow?

Respect is not given it is earned dog gonit...and they don't respect us...nobody respects us... you know what you got to do in that situation? TAKE IT!!!!!

Tebow.

Simply because of his running potential. He gains so many yards on the ground it more than makes up for missing passing yards. In standard ESPN scoring, i dont think Tebow has scored less than 14 points in the game… and THAT was against Detroit. A bad day for Tebow is still a good day for fantasy owners.

..We're 3-13 till we're not!
They say the cool is all over me..

TEBOW TIME!

Go with Tim, in all of his 6 starts he has scored over 20 points in 5 of those starts. He is coming off a huge week, even though it may not look pretty sometimes he is a fantasy stud with his ability to run and pass.

Out of these 3 WR who would you start

Mike Williams of the Bucs. (Questionable). Are very own Demaryious Thomas, I have high hopes for the kid. Or DHB of the Raiders who I’m still upset that he got me a big fat goose egg last week.

Mile High Salute

DHB hasnt seen many looks from Palmer. But DT hasnt seen a whole lot from Tebow either.

Toss up, but I would go with DT. He is due for a touchdown.

..We're 3-13 till we're not!
They say the cool is all over me..

Any Suggestions

1. Tebow or Newton
2. Mcgahee or CJ
3. Fitzgerald, Steve Johnson or Desean Jackson

Thanks

by OrangeBroncos on Nov 10, 2011 4:44 PM MST reply actions  

Newton
McGahee
Flip a coin

If Tebow has a big day, then you know McGahee will too…but if he doesn’t then at least you got Newton. :)

Larry Fitzgerald is CONSISTENT.

DeSean Jackson and Steve Johnson are big play WR as well as Fitz, but fitz consistenly puts up points where with jackson and djack you never know. Go with Larry.

Alrighty I have a problem with my wide receivers

Two weeks ago I started:

Miles Austin
Hakeem Nicks
Marques Colston (Flex)

That looked solid enough. With little point production for the last two weeks and two of the three questionable here’s what I have left:

Marques Colston
Victor Cruz (Giants)
Jordy Nelson (Green Bay)
Steve Johnson (Buffalo)
Doug Baldwin (Seattle)

I need to start 3 becuase one of my running backs got injured. What should I do?

by abroncosfanatic on Nov 10, 2011 5:23 PM MST reply actions  

Or...

Should I start Roy Helu in lieu (he he) of one of the receivers? My two running backs are Adrian Peterson and Steven Jackson.

by abroncosfanatic on Nov 10, 2011 5:29 PM MST up reply actions  

lol flip a coin.

Or just go with the best passing QBs that they are matched too.

by Tim Lynch on Nov 10, 2011 7:01 PM MST up reply actions  

Do NOT Sit Fred Jackson!

Not so sure what your ideology is behind benching a stud like Fred Jackson. Not only can he run the rock but the bills love to use him out of the backfield and throw him the ball. Do not ever sit Fred Jackson he is a fantasy animal, he is the #2 Fantasy RB and is averaging 18.5 points a game. START FRED JACKSON THIS WEEK AND EVERY WEEK.

:)

Not starting Jackson because he's playing a Good Defense is like not starting Rogers or Brees because there playing a Rough opponent. Lol

No. I just realize numbers don’t lie,, I’ll tweet you on Sunday Night reminding you how many points Jackson scored. Jackson is the type of player that you must play every week. Still can’t believe you disrespected my post like that. Go broncos and God Bless.
