Sit/Start Week 11

[Smack]

I know it's early but Westbrook got KO'd again (I'm going to waive him). Norwood and Snelling are both available, who do I grab? Also, would you drop Shonn Greene for Beanie Wells? I'm doing Running Back by committe on this team.

Norwood is hurt. I wouldn't play either of them if Turner plays. I would recommend Snelling over Norwood, though.

Ditto. And why would you drop Beanie Wells after his two most productive weeks? It appears as though he is passing Hightower as RB1 on the depth chart.

i think he was saying he would drop Greene to pick up Wells. and yes, i would.

Yeah, I did end up picking up Wells, but I dropped Westbrook to get him.

 

My backs right now consist of:

Forte - Obviously no running game in Chicago, but if he keeps catching passes he's useful.

Pierre Thomas - Extremely inconsistent and one of many weapons for NO.

Beanie Wells - Hopefuly he keeps gaining ground on Hightower.

Shonn Greene - Maybe Thomas Jones will get hurt?? Haha.

Laurence Maroney - Meh.

 

I think I'm going to take 2 of Forte (vs. PHI), PT (@TB), and Wells this week (@STL).

 

Probably Forte and PT, but I'm thinking about PT and Wells. The problem is that Forte is the only one of those guys guaranteed to be on the field the bulk of the time.

[Keener98]

I think you have to start Wells this week vs Stl, and at this point in the season, Forte should only be used vs teams like Detroit the rest of the year in my opinion.

That's what I thought before last week. But, if he can get 100+ yards combined between rushing/receiving and a score he's pretty useful to me. I remember a lot more Wells against the Bears when AZ was blowing us out, so I would imagine there will be a good dose of Wells this week too.

 

I think ultimately I will go PT/Wells, I'm just trying to convince myself.

 

Any thoughts on 2 of the following?

 

Calvin Johnson vs. CLE

Roy Williams vs. WAS

Jeremy Maclin @ CHI

 

I'm thinking Williams/Johnson, but Maclin could destroy the Bears secondary.

Jeremy Maclin @ CHI

 

I'm thinking Williams/Johnson, but Maclin could destroy the Bears secondary.

 

I might just go ahead and say I'll eat my shoe if Maclin doesn't catch a 50+ TD on Sunday night. But those other two are favorable matchups. I think I'd go with Roy and Maclin though.

 

My roster is in flux because I'm trying to hustle Vincent Jackson off a guy, but for now, Ward or Hester?

 

On a side note, I'm trying to unload Benson and Ward for Jackson. The guy just (it appears) lost Turner and I picked up Snelling from under his nose. That's part of the trouble in trying to make this deal cuz he's pissed off at me. If I get Jackson I'll get pretty loaded down the stretch. Would be starting Warner, Chris Johnson, Jacobs (meh), Wayne, Jackson and Gates.

It's so tough playing guys (Maclin) going against the Bears. Kurt Warner won my game for me, but I had to witness him destroy my team. Heh. I'd hang onto Benson if you can, he's got some nice playoff matchups.

 

I'd go with Ward, the Chiefs are going to have their hands full trying to shut down Mendenhall, Ward, Miller, Wallace, and Holmes at the same time. Philly is going to have to focus on Hester and Olsen... and that's about it... Plus, Ward is due for a big game and the Chiefs are terrible against the pass.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Pick one:

 

Grant v. SF

Slaton v. Ten

[Mark_R]

Is Slaton starting this week? At least you know that Grant is the number one guy.

 

Pick one RB, and one flex for this weekend:

 

McCoy

Sims-Walker

Steve Smith

Slaton

Jamaal Charles

Which Steve Smith? My initial lean is McCoy and Sims-Walker.

[Linguistic Man]

Hurt Benson, crappy Forte, or limited-playing-time Slaton?

If Benson goes, I would use him. Otherwise I would go Forte.

[tadowdaddy]

Percy Harvin or Lee Evans

 

Pick 2 of Rashard Mendenhall, Thomas Jones, Jamal Lewis vs KC, Caddy Williams

[Keener98]

Percy Harvin or Lee Evans

 

Pick 2 of Rashard Mendenhall, Thomas Jones, Jamal Lewis vs KC, Caddy Williams

 

Mendenhall is the vs KC not Jamal Lewis. Lewis is vs Detroit. With that said, Id go Mendenall for sure, and its a toss up between Jones and Williams. I doubt Jones does much vs NE, but its hard telling how many carries Williams will get vs NO because of the chance of them getting blown out. I think I'd lean towards Williams though.

[soapy]

Forte v. PHI or Wells v. STL? Pretty sure I'm going with Wells.

[TruffleShuffle]

pick two rb's and a flex:

 

s. jackson vs ariz

m. forte vs philly

m. sims-walker vs buff

t. hightower @ stl

k. smith vs cle

m. barber vs wash

t. hightower @ stl

k. smith vs cle

m. barber vs wash

 

Jackson (though I'm concerned Warner will light them up early and they'll stop running), Forte and Barber.

 

Now, I'm tired of Jacobs sucking. Should I start Betts over him?

[Smack]

Eh, I would stick with Jacobs.

[sneakypower]

Pick one:

 

B. Scott v. Oak

B. Wells v. Stl

Forsett v. Min

Charles v. Pit

[Smack]

Wells

[Sludgeworth21]

Need to start 2 RBs, and I'm going to assume Benson is out this week:

 

Matt Forte vs. PHI

Ladell Betts @ DAL

Thomas Jones @ NE

Ladanian Tomlinson @ DEN

 

I'm leaning Jones and Betts.

i would go forte and betts. eagles just had problems on run D and i expect the jets to be behind and throwing most of the game.

[UMFan83]

I'm strangely considering picking up Detroit's defense (against Cleveland) and starting them tomorrow. Am I completely stupid? I need someone to tell me to use my common sense, or tell me it's not a horrible idea.

 

In a 3 week span, the Bears gave up 45 points against Cincinnati, and 41 against Arizona. The week inbetween they gave up just 6 points to Cleveland. They are that bad. I think I can get points for lack of points given up and maybe a turnover or two.
