How many points for return yards versus reception yards? Trying gauge if Cribbs might not be the better play.

Receiving - 1 pt every 10 yds.
Return - 1 pt every 25 yds.

TDs are 6 points for either.

And for what it is worth I picked up Marcus Thigpen of Miami last week.

Dude had 200 retum yards plus a TD.

Oh, my main league has 1 point for 15 yards receiving and 1 pt for 15 yards returning. So, in my scoring I would go Cribbs. Course we get .5 points per reception. That's a tough decision really. Cincinnatti looked really good on offense though, so I think Cribbs gets alot of kick-off tries which should boost his scoring. He could get 150 yards in kickoffs and I don't think DHB gets 90 yards in receptions. So, I guess Cribbs.

In your scoring, grabbing Thigpen was good, but I'm not sure I would trust him for a start yet. Oakland will score, for sure, but enough to really make the kick returner that relevant.. just not sure. I don't like to take chances on newcomers based on a single game. Cribbs is established as a great returner.

It is a pretty shitty predicament.

Hoping like Hell Garcon can play.

**** this is a difficult week for me to decide. This is my $100, 10 team, PPR league.

pick: 2 WR, 2 RB, and 1 RB/WR

Chris Johnson
Jamaal Charles
Ahmad Bradshaw

Roddy White
Dez Bryant
Reggie Wayne
Stevie Johnson

What do you guys think of Aldrick Robinson or Jason Avant?

Robinson could get more targets if Garcon doesn't play and Avant is sure to get a look of Maclin and/or Cooper don't play.

Still got Wallace, Welker, and Cruz. Robinson or Avant could be a flex play.

Charles
Bradshaw

White
Johnson

Flex: Wayne

*Hard not to start Bryant, but those 3 WRs are better PPR options to me.

PPR League

Trent Richardson @ Cin
Alfred Morris @ StL

Miles Austin and Andre Johnson are my other 2 starting WR's.

Who should I start for my 3rd WR?

Dwayne Bowe @ Buffalo
or
Anquan Boldin @ Philly
or
Randy Moss vs. Detroit
or
Santana Moss @ St. Louis

Okay, so now I think I would start Brown, since Revis will be out. Cromartie should be on Wallace, letting Brown have a pretty good game I think. And I think Denver tries to ground it out more to slow down the Falcons (the old tactic teams used to use on Peyton interestingly enough), so I think Burleson is a safer play. Decker probably has a chance for more TDs and more upside.

Pick me a flex. No ppr, standard scoring. We also get return yardage pts.

Jonathan Stewart (I have Williams as RB #2)
Dwyer
Cribbs
DHB
Aldrick Robinson via WW
Avant via WW

Fingers crossed that Garcon plays so I don't have to worry about this cluster****.

If steve smith doesn't play for Carolina this week, i need someone in my flex slot. Here are my options:

Meachem SD vTEN
DHB OAK @MIA
Ingram NO @CAR
Amendola StL vWAS

I'd say Bowe or Moss.

Boldin frustrated the hell out of me last year. Last week's game was something I never got to experience while starting him. He'd seemingly be good for 7-8 points, max......sometimes he would dwindle in the 2-4 range.

Alex Smith locked on to Moss SO much in red zone situations last week.

I'd probably go Ingram. Best chance at a TD in my opinion.

How does Brandon Lafell generally do? I picked him up on the wire this week. Is he worth a start? I honestly don't know much about him.

I have the following slots to fill:

RB:
RB:
WR:
WR:
WR/RB:

Here is who I have starting so far:

RB: Demarco Murray (probable status)
RB: Kevin Smith (injury prone)
WR: Marques Colston
WR: Roddy White (probable status...groin)
RB/WR: Miles Austin (probable status...hamstring)

Here are the WR's and RB's on my bench:

WR: Kendall Wright, Brandon Lafell

RB: Peyton Hillis, Fred Jackson (out), Felix Jones, David Wilson.

Am I starting the right people? Should I consider making roster moves at this point? Please help, thanks!

Flex spot, standard scoring. Who do you go with?

McGahee
Ogletree
McCluster
Stephen Hill

McGahee prolly gets me 80 yards, don't know if I trust him to get a score.
Ogletee and Stephen Hill could both be one week wonders but I honestly think they both will pan out - I'm guessing 70-80 yards for each of them too and I think at least one of them scores.(my gut says it's Ogletree but Hill got a lot of looks from Sanchez in the redzone)
McCluster just because. I said before I drafted him(last round btw) that I thought he'd put up 80 yards a week and here we are. If he gets away from someone he could score so it's a very homerific pick, just can't help throwing his name out there.

Sucks about Jackson or the choice would be easier.
I don't think you can trust Wilson just yet. He may have a great week but the fact that he got pulled after a fumble and never was let back in the game is worrisome. Probably just tough love to prove a point but I don't trust him yet.
I don't think Jones will get enough work.
I think Lafell gets more yards but I think Hillis gives you a better chance at a TD this week. Depends on if you're willing to risk it after that bad performance last week.

Looks like Garcon is out.

Rolling with Dwyer as my FLEX.

**** me.

Since Garcon is out...

Do I go with Titus Young, Aldrick Robinson, or Jon Baldwin?

Reggie Wayne vs Vikings
or
Antonio Brown vs Jets

Wayne. By far Luck's favorite target. And yeah I know Revis is out.

Who should I start? Jonathan Baldwin or Brandon LaFell. LaFell was my top pick for a sleeper, last week he hooked up with Cam in the end zone for a touchdown.

One is in the doghouse, one got zero targets last week - one is starting and scored a TD last week.

I would go with Robinson.

Doug Martin vs. NYG
Stevan Ridley vs Ari

I have MJD and Charles starting, and have to pick of of the two above for my WR/RB slot. Which would you pick?

Oh, add Doug Baldwin to that mix..

Ridley -- no brainer.

Was my thought too, but the "guru" projection has Martin as the highest projected this week of all 4 of those RBs, so I was wondering if I am totally overlooking something. I think they are basing it off of what Murray did to the giants last week.

MJD or Murray?

Steve smith will be in, but with a knee injury on a speed guy, do I play him? Shit.

I have him in both leagues I am in. However, I am just going to trot out ogletree/cruz/CJ in one league just to be safe. But what to do in the league above?

Probably MJD. I have Murray on both of my teams and his probable status has me a bit concerned.

which QB? they produced the same last week

Ryan vs San Diego
Newton vs Giants

Which defense would you pick up and roll with this week?

Lions or Colts?

Colts play the Jags. Lions play the Titans.

Ryan looks good but the Giants secondary is pretty bad.

Shit....I don't know. Lol

So, my WR3 has been killing me.

I'm 2-0 and play the #1 overall guy this week.

Cruz and Megatron are always must starts.

My others WRs consist of DHB, Baldwin, Cribbs and Boldin.

Kerley, Hawkins, Avery, Mike Williams are some FAs.

This is a non-ppr league. And we get return yardage. Cribbs has been my most consistent WR3 thus far. Just been gun shy starting him for return yardage only.

I kind of think Baldwin is a good play as I suspect Chiefs will be playing from behind the entire game. Cribbs, Mike Williams, and Baldwin are all intriguing plays this week.

Coughlin comments on Wilson's fumble:
LOL - Coughlin cracks me up.

Although, I believe Wilson will have his chance at redeeming himself, the Giants have used him sparingly thus far. It is standard procedure for Coughlin to bench rookies who fumble.


I think Coughlin feels confident in Andre Brown now, especially after his performance on Sunday against Tampa Bay. Brown rushed for 71 yards on 13 carries after Ahmad Bradshaw went down with an injury.

Brown will start on Thursday if Bradshaw is unable to play.

Hope he makes the most of his first opportunity.

right?

it's a toss up, and which ever one I bench will drop 30...

Dropped Baldwin and picked up Mike Williams as WR3. Wish me luck.

Hard to go against Ryan, but San Diego is 12th vs QBs Giants are 25th. PLus I always like to have a reason to watch a Monday (or in this case Thursday) night game.
Newton for me.

Lions without a second thought.

I have a plethora of issues on one team this week (standard scoring .01 per yard and 6 per TD)
I need to fill my RB2, RB/WR, and WR2 slots

RB - Mathews vs Atl, Andre Brown @ Car, Stewart vs NYG
WR - AJ Green @ Was, Bowe @ NO, Antonio Brown @ Oak

I know which ways I'm leaning, would just like an other opinion or three.
Rep to the first five

It's a good thing I did then.


And this is the first week that I really don't have a ton of roster questions.

Here is my lineup:

M. Ryan vs. Chargers
D. Martin vs. Cowboys
S. Ridley vs. Ravens
J. Jones vs. Chargers
A. Green vs. Redskins
J. Finley vs. Seahawks
V. Cruz vs. Panthers
Lions D vs. Titans
J. Tucker vs. Pats


Really the only thing weighing on my mind is whether to roll with Finley vs. the Seahawks or Greg Olsen vs. the Giants.

Mathews won't be rushed back with the way the backups have been performing. I would go Stewart since the Giants are playing high scoring games.

Wide receivers I would go Bowe for sure and probably AJ Green.

thanks

To be fair, San Diego has faced Oakland and Tennessee. Not really something I would base a decision off of. That being said, Ryan and Newton are both good this week.

Not here to influence - But here is something to think about - If the Giants front 4 deliver they don't need a secondary.

Said EVERY team EVER.

Okay, Ive got a tough one this week. My RBs went from shitty to...slightly better. Need to pick 2:

Trent Richardson (CLE) vs BUF
Doug Martin (TB) at DAL
Alfred Morris (WAS) vs CIN
Andre Brown (NYG) at CAR

Found out you should trust your first instincts, not make changes at the last minute. Last week I had a choice between Bowe and Stevie Johnson. I saw Bowe do nothing first week and thought Stevie would be the latest Julio Jones to light us up. I've also run into teams that have outperformed expectations by 50% both weeks. Sitting on 0-2. Made a move to put Peyton on the bench this week against Houston while starting Eli who plays the Panthers.

Here's the difference: The teams YOU are referring to did not win TWO Super Bowls in four years. :thumb:

Not sure how the Giants successful Superbowl run has to do with fantasy football.

:thumb:

Troof. I lost week 1 because I tried to get cute at the last minute.

Start Boldin against NE

Or

Fitzgerald against Eagles

You are absolutely right. However, I was responding to your post.

All I'm saying, it's not an easy decision.

(Newton vs. the Giants)

Newton is electric. He's a gifted ball player.

Regardless of what defense he plays against.

Right now, the NYG D hasn't shown to be really that good. I would be surprised if that changes tomorrow night.

Fitzgerald.

I hate that Answer :sad:

hard to start a guy whos only had 60 yards through 2 games

Who should I start?

not a ppr league :(

Amendola @ Chi
or
Julio Jones @ SD

or I could do both of them with 1 being the flex

other WR is Reggie Wayne, consistent so far, gonna play.

Then my RB's are a mess

Matt Forte (Q) - vs STL
Ben Jarvis Green Ellis @ Wsh
Shonn Greene @ Mia
Doug Martin @ Dallas

Forte will play if he's gonna play. Then, but I'm leaning towards Doug Martin or Green Ellis for the other other HB and maybe the HB over one of the WR's for the flex.

hmmm....quite the pickle.

Amendola imo

and Check if Michael Bush is avilible in your free agency

otherwise id go with the lawfirm and forte

The Panthers are 6-0 when they run the ball. They are 1-11 when Newton throws the ball more often than they run.

The Panthers are 6-3 when Newton rushes for at least 50 yards but 1-4 when he is their leading rusher.

If the Panthers are able to run the ball they should win. J/M/O

Now, if Garry Williams starts in place of Byron Bell, who figures to be a game time decision - it could spell trouble for Newton. Also, Jonathan Stewart is listed as questionable for Thursday night.

Running quarterbacks usually do poorly in the NFC. Newton seems to be an accurate passer and makes big pass plays in the pocket - However, he likes to take off downfield as a rusher - and has trouble sliding when he comes out of the pocket.

As for the Giants, they have their own problems.

Andre Brown, NYG RB vs. Carolina

or

Mark Ingram, NO RB vs. Kansas City

Boldin. I'm benching Fitzgerald this week. He never plays good against Philly. Check the stats.

That's good, because they're 22nd againt the pass so far

Julio is a must start at one spot
Doug Martin vs a Dallas D giving up 130 ish yards per on the ground is another easy choice

Distant 3rd choice is Green-Ellis

Brown
Dont see the Saints needing much goal line work Sunday. Brees will score from distance.

This order: Martin, T-Rich...........Brown....Morris

Saints D or 49ers D

49ers up against Vikings and obviously Saints are up against the Chiefs

49ers

The problem is the QB. Fitzgerald performs much better when Skelton is throwing him the ball. Fitzgerald and Kolb have zero chemistry.

Who do I start at QB this week?

Peyton Manning vs. HOU
Andrew Luck vs. JAX

Peyton Manning vs. HOU

Good problem to have @ QB

Eli @ Carolina or Ryan @ San Diego

Bulls on Parade is so nasty, though...

This is the old question of going with the consistent guys vs. getting cute. I got burned by getting cute in week 1, but I think I’m gonna stick with Morris and Andre Brown this week.

The defenses they are facing have been more consistently bad against average running teams. Martin and Richardson face defenses that look bad on paper, but that’s from one bad week against run-first teams.

Or am I overanalyzing this? lol.

Pick my WR3. I asked this before, but I'm second guessing myself. No PPR, we do get return yardage however.

Boldin, DHB, Cribbs, Mike Williams?

Right now I'm rolling with Williams, but really tempted to roll with Cribbs -- who so far, has been the most WR3 option I've had.

Morris AND Brown is a little too cute for my liking. Trent Richardson is a must-start, in my opinion. I'm not so sold on Doug Martin, and I really like Alfred Morris this week against Cincy. So, if you can only start two RBs, I think I would roll with Richardson and Morris.

I haven’t paid attention to Cribbs since they moved kickoffs up to the 35. Do you ever get anything good from him on return yards?

I’d probably roll Williams, but would look hard at the defenses they are all playing.

Week one he had 8.45 points, week two he had 12.45. So roughly he is averaging 10.5 points thus far.

Williams has been averaging 9.5 the two weeks. But he also has a TD each week. So I think I'm going to roll with Williams.

Luck.

Adrian Peterson against San Fran (best team against RBs)
Donald Brown against Jax (worst team against RBs)

Adrian Peterson vs. SF
Pierre Thomas vs. NO

Both players are at home.
