Sit/Start Week 15

[rawaction]

My opponent hasn't scored more than 93 points in 6 weeks, and averages 82.5 over that time. All I need to do is lose by less than 35, and I advance to the final round. If I start Julio Jones and Roddy White together, would that minimize the chances of ALL my receivers getting Calvin Johnson'd this week? It would require me to play Jones in lieu of Laurent Robinson. With my opponent's recent weakness, I figure I am a lock to win if I can get about 18 total points out of my 3 receivers. (Steve Johnson v Mia is the other WR.)

 

Sorry meant to answer this before. I still wouldn't start Julio. Julio is much more likely to get shutout or a sub-5 point total than White who Atlanta will make a point of getting him his catches. It won't hurt you either way though. I just like that Robinson did still put up numbers with Miles Austin being 100% last week.

I'll go with that. I suddenly have a bad feeling about Steve Johnson for this week, but as long as I don't have my worst week of the season, odds are I make the final round and guaranteed money.

Would anyone start Kevin Smith over Marion Barber? It looks like he will play (practiced with 1st team yesterday), and it's Oakland.

 

I can see Seattle stuffing Barber a little too much and Bell getting a heavier workload.

So, three options at WR against a team that is most likely going to murder me anyway:

 

Maclin v NYJ

Torrey Smith @ SD

Pierre Garcon v TEN

 

I'm leaning Smith, actually, but it's pretty much a toss-up to me.

First time posting in the fantasy forum here.

 

Randall Cobb or Michael Crabtree @ WR?

 

Is Cobb expected to see a huge dose of action?

[CubmanPi]

Yea, Smith over Barber if he's not limited in practice and doing first team reps.

 

Bukie, I'm leaning toward Smith as well, especially now that good Rivers is back and has at least a fighting chance to make Baltimore work hard to keep up on offense, but Garcon may actually be the best option there.

[CubmanPi]

Rodgers doesn't have a whole lot of options who will reliably put up points, since he spreads the ball to literally every eligible receiver on the roster. I know it's against the Steelers, but Michael Crabtree is probably a better choice than just about any GB receiver who's not Jordy Nelson. If Jermichael Finley can put up a zero, then Aaron Rodgers is the only reliable producer on that offense.

[CubmanPi]

PPR league, need 1:

 

Nate Washington (probably catching from Hasselbeck instead of Locker)

DHB (Jacoby Ford still out, Denarius Moore back)

Donald Driver (old)

Tomlinson (old, plays with Shonn Greene)

 

Defense: Bears (Sea) or 49ers (Pit, who may or may not start Charlie Batch because of Ben's injury)?

[CubmanPi]

Good thing I went DHB. I went Bears D too, which was only ok because they scored that TD. Finals in both my leagues.

Unless Frank Gore gets 2 carries for less than 5 yards, fumbles both times, and gets injured, I'm going to lose. The effing Raiders. Calvin Johnson puts up 43 points against me. Even if they kept him out of the endzone, I had a shot if the Steelers stoppred Gore. Did Percy Harvin get hurt today?

[NonProfitCow]

I need 5.2 points out of Vernon Davis. He's been so inconsistent I'm pretty worried about it.

[kujay]

In one of my semis, the Megatron last-minute TD lost me the game. Absolutely brutal.

 

In the other, I'm up 49 and he has Mendenhall, Wallace and V. Davis tonight. I'm cautiously optimistic.

[CubmanPi]

In one league I survived Megatron+Spiller (combined for 61 pts).

In the other, Romo + DHB + Ray Rice + Falcons D/ST = 100-pt victory for me.
