addia , gore

rm18 · 12-10-08, 10:16 PM

all seem obvious, I agree with the previous guy

L2Gunz · 12-10-08, 10:54 PM

j. addai will probably play first half but then d. rhodes will get plenty of carries in the second half....they will rest j. addai b/c of his shoulder

Gore and Addai both left Sunday injured and neither has practiced this week. Not near as cut and dry as you would think.

Rhodes is available in my league waiver. I would rather play him than addai I think, not sure if Rhodes is a better option than Dunn, Tower, or Smith though...

l7ustin · 12-10-08, 11:28 PM

im thinking Dunn and Williams play for sure.

Debating between Tower (if the Viking LBs get suspended), Smith, Rhodes, or

instead of those 3 picking up Deion Branch and playing him in the flex

L2Gunz · 12-10-08, 11:35 PM

i had to pick up d. rhodes in my league...im might have to play him..depending on status of m. barber...and im thinkin even it barber plays...for how long???

I was going to say Hightower then I read this...
Bust alert: Tim Hightower (vs. MIN): Heading into Week 15, Kevin Williams and Pat Williams are expected to play for the Vikings, which means Hightower won't get many yards. That's been the case for him the past five games since he has 54 carries for 117 yards over that span. His saving grace has been scoring touchdowns, and he has three in his past three games. Minnesota has allowed nine rushing touchdowns on the season, but the Vikings are No. 2 in run defense at just over 73 yards allowed per game. Hightower's outlook would change if the suspensions start for the two defensive tackles, but right now don't plan on using Hightower this week. With the Cardinals expected to be throwing a lot, look for J.J. Arrington to get more time on the field than Hightower against Minnesota.

Thanks Mick

Right now I have Smith plugged in, I know the Colts have had a good defense lately but they struggled early with the run and he is an every down back. The Lions are playing hard every week despite not being able to win. I think they at least cover and maybe only lose by 10.

I think its either gotta be him or Branch if I can pick him up.

I cant play Addai because he hasnt practiced all week and I cant play Rhodes because Addai is still listed as Questionable and I dont want a back that is going to split carries...

Dude, I've got QB problems. Been using Favre all year, picked up Matt Schaub when he came back. Can't start Schaub against the Titans, don't trust Brett even against the Bills. Hate saying that since I'm a Jets fan. I am seriously considering dropping Favre for Kyle Orton against New Orleans shitty D tomorrow. I don't have room for 3 QB's since I have 2 Dallas running backs taking up roster spots. Ideas?

l7ustin · 12-11-08, 01:08 AM

I actually think the Texans will pull the upset this weekend. But Orton should light it up tomorrow, let me think a bit on this

People have been saying that all year. Bears, Jags, Colts, etc... Only happened once this year. Won't happen again.

l7ustin · 12-11-08, 01:12 AM

Can you get Seneca Wallace or Tyler Thigpen?

l7ustin · 12-11-08, 01:16 AM

King I am a huge titans fan and i dont give a flying shit what "people" have been saying. Those people weren't me. Its a rivalry game the Texans are playing great right now. Its in Houston. Tenn has little to play for. Tenn is a little beat up. Usually when these two teams play Houston shuts down the run. Schaub played like dog shit last time they played and if not for a pick 6 titans only won by a touchdown.

Thigpen is taken, Hasselbeck might play this week. I'm really leaning towards Orton.

My line-up would be
QB Orton
RB Barber/Choice...Hopefully Barber plays
WR Brandon Marshall
Flex WR Calvin Johnson
Flex WR Marvin Harrison
TE Cooley
K Longwell
D/ST Colts

Benching Titans D this week and Lee Evans. This is a ppr league with 1rb, 1wr, 2 flex. Guaranteed $100 with a win this week, another $100 to win the championship.

l7ustin · 12-11-08, 01:46 AM

i benched titans d too. playing eagles.

Good luck in your playoffs - obviously, you're gonna ride DeAngelo Williams for yet another week, but go with Kevin Smith and Warrick Dunn. Gore has a bad ankle, and the difference in his performance on the road vs. home is staggering. Hightower isn't even worth consideration as a play this week.

The only variable here is Joseph Addai. If he plays, he only plays a half, but that might be enough. That being said, he's arguably been the biggest bust in fantasy this year (LT owners might disagree here), so you can't count on him to do anything this week. Besides, Dominic Rhodes has the dream matchup you want in the playoffs - get him if you can off the waiver wire!

Hey I like the Orton play, he will hit Forte and the TE all day, NWO doesn't play defence they just hope they can score more than you. and win 45-41 lol
I am starting Orton in one of my leagues
