I'm here to make you money in fantasy football

[onlooker]

I'm in the finals this week of a yahoo standard scoring league, no PPR. Trying to decide among these receivers: Bowe, Lloyd, Crabtree, Garcon, Doug Baldwin. I have to use 3 and could potentially use a 4th in my flex spot over Daniel Thomas or Ingram. Any thoughts?

Wow. Tough ones after Bowe.

Bowe, Lloyd and Crabtree. Garcon in Flex.

Is Kahlil Bell still out there on the Free Agent list? If so, drop Ingram and pick him up asap.

Can you post what the top FA players are, RB's and WR's? Ingram, Thomas, Baldwin, and Garcon are all expendable.

[gauchojake]

I would chop, unless you have a 2nd place payout, and make a profit off your buy-in. Brees and Rice scare me. I actually put away the team in my league with Brees (71.88 pts) last week, but I had almost every position player put up great numbers. This week I face Ray Rice, and he torched the Browns last time out. I hope he don't go off again, and just has a respectable day.

Buy in is 200, 2nd is 520 1st is 800. I profit no matter what. I think that based on the matchup that it's a pretty good deal for all to chop, although I am willing to roll with my lineup if he declines.

At least your in the money, no matter. I have to win this week to make the championship, or I play for third and my buy-in back. Here is my team vs his:

Mine:
Matthew Stafford
Roddy White
Steve Smith
LeSean McCoy
CJ Spiller
Jason Witten
Kahlil Bell
Dan Bailey
Kansas City D

BENCH: Reggie Wayne, Malcom Floyd, Pierre Thomas, James Starks, Donald Brown, Lions D.

His:
Ben Roethlisberger
Victor Cruz
Percy Harvin
Ray Rice
Steven Jackson
Brent Celek
Miles Austin
Neil Rackers
Cincinnati

BENCH: Andy Dalton, Rex Grossman, Jermichael Finley, Mike Tolbert, Vincent Brown, Jets D.

[gauchojake]

I think the only question in your lineup is floyd v smith. You could take a flier on D Brown vs Spiller but I would probably leave well enough alone. Did you pick up the Broncos D?

The waiver wire is bare. It's a fairly competitive keeper league.

Forgot to mention it was a PPR league. Hate Brown's match-up with the Texans. Plus Spiller can rack up some catches. I was thinking of playing Floyd at the Flex, but Kahlil Bell should have a good day. He looks to be a good target out of the backfield as well.

Steve Smith could have a big day against that Buccs D. White and Julio did last week.

Broncos D is still sitting out there. I hate having a Defense that one of my position players is playing (CJ Spiller). Hate routing against them not to score a TD. Plus Fitzpatrick could get his sh!t together and toss 5 TD's on them. I think I will roll the dice on the Kansas City D, it is tough to play at Arrowhead and Palmer seems to be on his backside a lot. Not to mention throwing it to the other team.

Hey guys. I somehow managed to make it to the champion round this week and facing a very tough team that's scored the most points this season.
Unfortunately, my once solid RB lineups been destroyed by injuries and now I need to start 2 players from the following list:
DeAngelo Williams (TB), Peyton Hillis (@Baltimore), Donald Brown (Houston), Kahlil Bell (@GB). In addition, I can also start Sammy Morris against the Eagles if Felix Jones (missing Tues/Wed practice this week) decides not to play.

I'm actually leaning towards Williams and Bell. But Hillis is tempting even against the Ravens after a solid showing last week and Ravens D giving up ton of points to Ryan Matthews last week. Similar story with Donald Brown, who's looked great as of late.

Appreciate all the help.

Fantasy is about match-ups, and Williams and Bell have the better ones. Go with them.

Good luck.

Marion Barber CHI - RB
Barber (calf) did not practice Wednesday, according to the Bears' official site.

Impacts: Barber's injury could open the door for Kahlil Bell to get more work Sunday, although that may have been the case anyway (Bell outproduced Barber in last week's loss). We'd expect Barber to play at the very least, but check back later in the week for an update.

Him in the championship game this week...
My players in question-

Jeramy maclin
Cj spiller
Chris Johnson
Stephan Jackson
Marshawn lynch
Brandon Marshall
Demarious Thomas
Aj green

Need to fill 4 spots
I can play 3 rbs or 3 wrs- it's a 2 flex league 1rb / 1wr must start. I can start all rbs if I wanted to since spiller is eligible for both. It's a standard league with big play bonuses and 1 point for every 5 receptions.

Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks

Your not liking lynch at home vs niners? I'm thinking he's a must start the way he's playing

Just a bad match-up. 49ers haven't allowed a rushing TD yet this season, I think that is a NFL record. Also they haven't allowed a 100 yard rusher in 36 straight games. That to me, says sit Lynch and let him eat all the skittles he wants.

[T4k]

Alright Im in the finals and need some help here.

QB Romo
WR Dez Bryant
WR Brandon Marshall
RB Sproles
RB M.Bush
TE A.Hernandez
W/R Hakeem Nicks
K Matt Bryant
Def Balt

Bench:
Rivers
Floyd
Greg Olsen
Addai
Bradshaw

I feel this looks pretty good I saw a post earlier about Bell. He is available. Should I grab him and switch him out with Nicks?

[HOOKEMcnh]

Who to start at QB... Matt Ryan or Tebow.

Both have good matchups, I see Ryan being the safer bet but Tebow has more upside.

[ttwarrior1]

i like ryan

keep it the same, i like rivers over romo

[ttwarrior1]

id play lynch , just depends on who else you got. he got you here, u keep playing. I doubt you have any better options.
Mendy did ok against sf and they are at home

[Br0nxer]

helu santonio holmes or donald brown in the flex

helu being banged up worries me and royster got some carries last week

holmes stunk the first 5 weeks of year when i played him.

i really want to ride what got me here-helu

but I'm not sure

[ttwarrior1]

holmes playing against a bad secondary in ny giants. id wait on helu's health if you can hold off till sat before the game.

Id go helu if you hear is he 100 percent or close. Holmes won't be too bad. Houston d is too good. I don't like brown over helu or holmes

Quarterbacks

Studs

Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay vs. Chicago
Drew Brees, New Orleans vs. Atlanta
Tom Brady, New England vs. Miami
Cam Newton, Carolina vs. Tampa Bay
Matthew Stafford, Detroit vs. San Diego
Eli Manning, N.Y. Giants at N.Y. Jets
Tony Romo, Dallas vs. Philadelphia
Matt Ryan, Atlanta at New Orleans
Philip Rivers, San Diego at Detroit
Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh vs. St. Louis *Questionable: Ankle*

Start

Michael Vick, Philadelphia at Dallas: Vick had a very solid game against the New York Jets last, week throwing for 274 yards with a touchdown and an interception while rushing for 32 yards and a touchdown. Look for his passing numbers to increase this week as Vick attempts to match his Week 8 performance against the Cowboys when he threw for 279 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions and 50 yards rushing. This Eagles team suddenly has a new life and they are the scariest team in the NFC East by far. You’ll see more reasons why this week.

Rex Grossman, Washington vs. Minnesota: Grossman had his worst game in over a month last week, throwing for just 185 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions against the New York Giants. He gets a much more favorable matchup this week against a Vikings defense that has been lit up to the tune of 260.4 yards passing per game this season (30th in the NFL). Look for Grossman to make up for last week’s performance with solid stats as he takes advantage of a soft Vikings pass defense.

Bench

Joe Flacco, Baltimore vs. Cleveland: Flacco had one of his worst games of the season the last time he faced the Browns (Week 13), throwing for 158 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Coming off a very disappointing showing on Sunday night, you can bet the Ravens will be very run-centric against a Browns team that has struggled mightily at stopping the run all season. I’ll be shocked if Flacco even attempts 25 passes this week which should tell you all you need to know about his projected output.

Matt Hasselbeck, Tennessee vs. Jacksonville: Talk about falling down from a hot start, Hasselbeck has gone from a fantasy darling to a curse word in five quick weeks. Since Week 10, Hasselback has thrown for more than 200 yards once (223 last week vs. Indianapolis), and that was in a losing effort where he threw two interceptions and no touchdowns. Don’t look for a quick turn back to the glory days of the first half of the season this week as the Titans will continue to struggle in the passing game, but Chris Johnson will do just fine.

[ttwarrior1]

Running Backs

Studs

LeSean McCoy, Philadelphia at Dallas
Ray Rice, Baltimore vs. Cleveland
Arian Foster, Houston at Indianapolis
Maurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville at Tennessee
Darren Sproles, New Orleans vs. Atlanta
Ryan Mathews, San Diego at Detroit
Marshawn Lynch, Seattle vs. San Francisco
Chris Johnson, Tennessee vs. Jacksonville
Steven Jackson, St. Louis at Pittsburgh
Michael Turner, Atlanta at New Orleans
Adrian Peterson, Minnesota at Washington
Frank Gore, San Francisco at Seattle

Start

Reggie Bush, Miami at New England: Thanks to a 203-yard rushing game last week, Bush has entered the Top 10 in points per reception point leagues. So much for the notion that he can’t be a No. 1 back and Daniel Thomas is the guy to own in Miami. Bush rushed for only 38 yards the last time he faced New England in the season opener, but he caught nine passes for 56 yards and a score during that game as well. As hot as Bush is these days, you can’t afford to take him out of your lineup.

Willis McGahee, Denver at Buffalo: If McGahee is good to go this week after injuring his hamstring against New England last week, get him in your lineup quick. The Bills are ranked 29th in the league in rushing yards allowed, and the guy listed right above McGahee in this week’s column rushed for more than 200 yards just last week against this Buffalo defense. If healthy, McGahee is a must start this week. If he can’t go, you need to seriously consider Lance Ball to have a breakout game.

Rashard Mendenhall, Pittsburgh vs. St. Louis: As expected, Mendenhall didn’t do much against the top-rated San Francisco 49ers run defense rushing for just 64 yards last week. However, the Rams have been the remedy for struggling running backs all season. Add into the equation a hobbled Ben Roethlisberger and you can expect a heavy workload for Mendenhall this week with big stats to back it up.

Bench

Peyton Hillis, Cleveland at Baltimore: Hillis fell one yard short of reaching the 100-yard mark for this first time this season last week against the Arizona Cardinals. Unfortunately for Hillis, he’s got to face the Ravens defense this week … an angry Ravens defense. Baltimore did not look good on either side of the ball on Monday night. A trip back home against the Browns is just what the doctor ordered for them. Keep all your Browns firmly planted on your bench this week or suffer the consequences.

Donald Brown, Indianapolis vs. Houston: Do not get overly excited at the 161 rushing yards and a score that Brown posted last week against the Tennessee Titans. The Texans have allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards in the league this season and they will be out to stop the Colts’ winning streak abruptly this week. Just because the Texans have clinched the AFC South doesn’t mean they’ll take it easy on their division rivals. Houston knows they better kick Indianapolis while they are down because it doesn’t happen very often.

Ryan Grant, Green Bay vs. Chicago: Grant had a decent game last week against the Kansas City Chiefs as the Packers lost for the first time this year, rushing for 66 yards and adding another 34 receiving yards. That loss is the best thing that could’ve happened to Green Bay. All the pressure is off of them now and they can just play football. You’ll see the high-flying offense return this week as Aaron Rodgers spreads the ball around the field, beautifully minimizing what Grant will need to do out of the back field. Expect a light load from Grant as the Packers won’t need him very much this week.

[GenosPicks]

Nobody here has played more leagues , studied more fantasy football or done more mock drafts then me.
...
More later, doing my 30th mock of the day

Gave you love in today's Geno's Takes buddy... would love your thoughts on the three pickups i mentioned this week...

ATTENTION AUQUAN BOLDIN OWNERS!!!

He is having surgery on Knee, will miss at least 2 games.

via NFL.COM Players News:

Anquan Boldin BAL - WR

Boldin, who will have surgery Thursday to repair a slight tear in his meniscus, is expected to miss the final two weeks of the regular season, the Ravens' official site reports.

Impacts: The report notes that Boldin should be able to return for the playoffs, but that would only help those owners in postseason pools. With Boldin out, Torrey Smith and Lee Evans should be the Ravens' top two wideout options down the fantasy stretch.

[robmpink]

I'm pretty sure he will go with the Stafford to Megatron connection.

Is there a prize for 2nd place? If not, go split.

I ended up taking the split. it was $575 for 1st and $225 for second so we split $400. I'm also in a northbet.com season league and the winner gets a $500 freeplay and 2nd a $200 freeplay. I have Calvin Johnson on my team and think he'll go off. It is the championship.

[onlooker]

I sat Reggie Wayne this week. He scored like 17+ points on that last drive. PPR scoring anyway. Totaled 27.60 points on my bench.

[gauchojake]

bummer brah. my opponent never replied to the split so fukk it. had the texans d to start with a decent 10 points.

[jonesda]

reggie bush or felix jones non-ppr, nicks or desean jackson and defense Arizona or kc or oak thanks for any help.
