Week 16 Sit/Start (Championship Week!)

[kujay]

I know I'm jumping the gun a bit, since Week 15 isn't over yet. But I'm dying to get this set up and take the title.

 

QB: Eli or Schaub? I'm leaning Schaub at Oakland. Actually, that almost seems like a no-brainer. Eli gets Carolina in yet another Sunday night game for NYG.

 

RB: Forte or Sammy Morris? We know Forte hosts GB. Morris gets AZ at home. A-Pete gashed Arizona last week though he didn't get in the endzone. Forte might be a little dinged up.

 

WR: Edwards or Lance Moore? Moore disappointed me last week, and a lot of my decision on this will depend on how many looks Edwards gets tonight and what Dorsey looks like. Edwards has Cincy at home, Moore goes to Detroit. Both would seem to be favorable matchups.

 

Defense: I have the Bears now. Defense sucked last week (again), but we get 6 for a return TD, so Manning helped me there. I could pick up Miami (at KC) or Houston (at OAK).

 

Suggestions?

I'd go with Forte and the Bears D against the Pack.

Schaub

Forte

Moore

Bears

 

Don't ever think about sitting Forte.

Made it to the championship in one league. McNabb teased me with 5 straight failed redzone trips. Good thing I have Akers too. Won by 4 points on his 4th Q TD. Lost in semis in another (stupid Dallas Clark).

 

I don't really have any tough decisions, just wanted it known!

 

I'm going to start Michael Turner vs. MIN and Steven Jackson vs. SF over D'Angelo Williams vs. NYG.

[Vanilla Ice]

Pick Two

 

Michael Turner vs. MIN (without Pat Williams)

Steve Slaton vs. OAK

Steven Jackson vs. SF

 

Pick Two

Megatron vs. NO

Andre Johnson vs. OAK

Roddy White vs. MIN

 

Leaning towards Megatron and Andre Johnson at WR, but I have no idea at RB

I'm facing Turner and S-Jax this week. So, sorry, but I hope they suck. :wink:

Wow that's a deep league. I don't think I could ever wrap my head around something like that. I just looked at the ESPN projections. I should win. Here's the matchup, my team on the left:

 

Schaub vs. Romo (ESPN advantage Schaub)

Peterson vs. Stephen Jackson (Peterson)

Forte vs. Turner (Forte)

Jennings vs. Steve Smith (Jennings)

Moore vs. Roddy White (White)

Gates vs. Gonzalez (Gonzalez)

Bironas vs. Josh Brown (Bironas)

Bears D vs. Jets D (Jets D)

 

ESPN has Forte, Jennings and Bironas as #1 at their positions this week. They also have Gonzalez as the top-projected TE. I'm still waiting for that beast of a game from Gates. I really like some of the matchups. Romo gets Baltimore, for one.

Heh. I hope you lose badly!

 

My matchup

 

McNabb vs. Cutler

S. Jackson vs. Barber/Choice

Turner vs. Dunn/ Kevin Smith/ Jacobs

R White vs. T Owens

Boldin vs. R Moss

T Gonzalez vs. DeSean Jackson (start flex WR/TE)

Akers vs. Crosby

Redskins vs. Giants

 

Obviously Jacobs and Barber are his starters if healthy. But the CBS guru (who sucks by the way), projects Dunn and Smith as his best 2 RBs this week.

 

Projection: Me- 148.2, Him- 124.1. I have the edge at every position except projected 1 point worse at QB and DEF.

After dismantling Raw last week, I'm in the finals against a guy that scored almost 140 points a week ago

 

do i start barber vs. baltimore or turner vs. minnesota

 

last year i made it to the finals in this league and lost by a point or two because i screwed up one roster spot. I'd rather not do that again.

Turner has gotten his yards for the most part. He will get at least 75 yards and a TD, guaranteed, even if it takes him 35 carries.

 

Oh yeah, and I didn't even count that league as being in the playoffs. Your team is really good, Frank Gore was injured for my team, and as you know my team is allergic to beating yours for some reason.

[kujay]

Schaub

Forte

Moore

Bears

 

Don't ever think about sitting Forte.

 

I agree. But I'm really leaning toward putting in Edwards instead of Moore. ESPN has Moore projected to score fewer points than Colston and Henderson. At least with Edwards I know he's the guy and will get a lot of looks, especially with both of Cleveland's TEs now out for the year.

[Larry Horse]

Start three of these four:

 

Slaton @ Oakland

Lynch @ Denver

Pierre @ Detroit

Westy @ Washington

 

I'm considering benching Westy....he almost cost me 2 semi games last week.

Schaub vs. OAK or Warner vs. NE? I'm worried about the cold weather affecting Warner.

I would go Turner without question. With Pat Williams out the Falcons can double team Kevin Williams and I see Turner having a big game.

Don't bench Westbrook, ever. If it's a PPR league, you should be ashamed for even thinking about benching him. Don't be fooled by the Monday night game. That was a case of the Eagles taking it easy on him vs. a team they knew they could beat. Two division games for their playoff lives left, Westbrook will get the ball a ton.

 

Also, Westbrook has had great numbers vs. the Skins in his career.

 

Westbrook

Slaton

 

Can't go wrong w/ Lynch or Thomas. I think all 4 have big games.

I agree. Between Lynch and Thomas though, I'd go with Thomas. They're playing Detroit and he's getting the ball a lot. Weather won't be a factor either.

Lynch is coming off of a huge game and the Raiders are coming off of giving up 250+ and 8 ypc to the Patriots

Been killing myself over who to start at qb.

 

Warner or Cassell. They play each other in NE.

 

Also, would Foster starting at StL take Choice's flex spot vs. Balt at home.

I've always been suspicious of Warner, even though he's obviously been a horse this year. I'd go with Cassel at home.

 

I'd also go with Foster. The Rams defense is gutless against the run.

No problem. I still need convincing that I should play Lance Moore over Edwards. I paid to pick the guy up. In my league after 10 FA pickups you have to pay in $6 for each move. Cash goes to the winner. So I might get it back. But still. Since I paid for that mofo he has turned in two crappy weeks.
