Toss up between the Wide recievers.

Royal should be targeted plenty, since Marshall will be matched-up with Asomugha for the whole game.
Sims- Walker is still very new to me, but seems like the only WR of note on the Jags, plus they are facing the Texans.

---Advantage Royal --- Raiders run defense is stout, and Royal gets many opportunities to touch the ball

Easy Call --- Brent Celek
--- For all the reason you said in your post

I'm in a similar situation as you. Royal has been a bust the first few weeks. I think he will break out today, but Sims-Walker is the safer play. Houston does not have that great of a pass D. Personally I am gambling and starting Royal over a Sims-Walker like player today.

I'd go out on a limb also and start Celek. I do not like Jones' matchup vs TEN. They have the 2nd best Run D in the league so far and he will be in for a long night. Celek should have a pretty solid day.

Good luck!

I'm benching Chris Johnson and starting Sims-Walker in his place. Yes, I know, crazy.

Congrats on your Saturday, but dont shit on it by Sitting Chris Johnson. He is a Top Round Draft Choice. You got to play him, save bye weeks.

Yeah man no way you should be benching Johnson imo.

i'm certain the jets will shut him down. plus i have the jets defense. plus i'm already like a 25 point favorite without him. i'm gonna do it. my other 2 backs are AP and Forte so its not like I'm missing out.

Kolb
AP, Forte
Holmes, Edelman, Sims-Walker

keeper/franchise (1 of each) auction league

i have forte as my franchise player (2 year contract @ 57), and johnson is my keeper (1 year contract @ 3, last years salary)

i bid the house on AP ($75) and then just chilled until we got down into the $15 range for bidding.

HoulihansTX · 09-27-09, 11:53 AM

I'll have to join one of those leagues next year.

stats13 · 09-27-09, 06:59 PM

i actually pussed out and went with johnson instead. he scored 10 vs sims-walker's 6, so no real difference

unreal, ap,forte and chris johnson all failed to score a td today. i lost by 5.6 points, tds are worth 6. fortunately kolb was HUGE for me.

auction keepers are so much better. the reason i had to pay forte 57 is cuz hes my franchise, which is either last years salary (10) or the avg of the top 14 in the league (57), whatever is highest. the keeper you get for whatever you drafted him as. waiver picks cost 1.

I'll probably slap a keeper on ap for next year for $75, hes worth it. we have $200 to draft with.
