The Official Fantasy Football advice thread. - Part 1

[John McGuirk]

QB - Kolb, McCoy
RB - Jackson, McFadden, Starks
WR - Fitzgerald, Jennings, Harvin, Meachem, Garcon
TE - Clark, Hernandez
K - Brown, Vinatieri
D - Jets, Saints

**NOTE: I was forced to do the stupid auction draft so I know my QBs aren't the best, but I'm banking on Kolb to have a decent year**

I would suggest looking for a WR like Antonio Brown, Greg Little or Cecil Shorts. Little and Shorts aren't likely to bring much early on, but could develop into top WR's for their teams.

I would only look at Greg Little,Shorts Brown in Dynasty leagues not in redraft leagues.

The head coach thing is something new we tried. the most points a hc can get for a win 3 and the they can cost you at most 3 points a lose. We had too many ties last year and nothing to break the ties. Im thinking if one of my lower tier RB's do great i might sell high around week 5 for a WR.

If just 2-3 of my wr's can step up Ill be happy.

so wait, you have Bowe? He wasn't in your list. That changes things somewhat obviously.

I would agree, Little and Shorts aren't players I would target in a draft, but if you are dealing with the remains of a draft, you can do worse than picking up players that have higher-than-average potential. Little and Shorts have the chance to be the number 1 target at WR for their teams.

I would rather have that than a Pierre Garcon, who will likely be a fourth or fifth target, or Benn, who - at best - is a third target (Williams, Winslow).

I would draft Antonio Brown in a late round.

may want to pick up Mark Clayton, he re signed a 1yr deal with the Rams and him and Sam had a good raport before he was sidelined with an injury in week 6. Also Broncos 2nd yr wr Erick Decker is a good sleeper

Coach John Fox said that WR Eric Decker has "just taken off."Decker has been running as the "Z" receiver on the outside and also as a slot man. It's not out of the question to think he could pass Eddie Royal, who has been nursing a hip tweak, to start in two-wide sets. "I'm expecting big things from [Decker]," said Fox. The second-year man is on our radar as a flier.

[Anti-Moderator]

Hey FFB friends...any opinions on Bradford versus Cutler in an OP spot? I've been going back and forth with these two for days.

[TheIncredibleSk]

Should I start Eli or Matt Schaub

[BlackLantern]

screwed up this week and left Sproles on my bench, but I have a good feeling about today

I did the exact same thing.

[Byrd Man]

Yeah, I've been kicking myself for leaving Meachem on the bench and going with Boldin this week against the Steelers.

[BlackLantern]

Giants D vs the Redskins or Ravens D vs the Steelers

[Byrd Man]

Rex Grossman.

That's all you need to know to start the Giants.

[ComicChick]

Davone Bess or Danny Woodhead

[Drizzle]

I need to find a new kicker to replace Nate Kaeding. Billy Cundiff or David Akers?

[ComicChick]

i'm partial to Cundiff, but thats cuz i'm a ravens fan. either would probably be solid choices

[ComicChick]

Donald Driver vs Carolina
Dwayne Bowe vs Det

[TheOnlyOmega]

Matt Ryan or Matt Stafford? Julio Jones or LaGarrete Blount at flex spot?

[Genesis 1.0]

CC: Driver's got an easier match against a sad Carolina secondary but he's a 3rd option at best. Bowe is the lead target for Kansas City but the Lions secondary is a little tougher and will be able to put more pressure on the QB. That's actually a pretty tough one.

Omega: Stafford & Blount.

[ComicChick]

thanks Gen

how bout Ryan or Sanchez?
