I’m heading out of town Friday morning, so be sure to get your questions in early this week. I’m not sure how much time I’ll have to answer questions this weekend.
Let’s start with a question from Scorpion from last week’s thread:
JP, is Jac. DEF a good play next week versus Indianapolis? Or should I start Tampa Bay DEF (vs. Detriot)?
JAX is playing great, but TB vs. DET is too juicy of a matchup to pass up. The Lions will put up some points, but the Bucs should rack up a number of sacks and turnovers. I’d go with the Bucs.
JP – I play in a ppr league and I am wondering who I should start: L. Jordan- KC(if healthy), S. McDonald-TB, C. Benson @ Phi, or K. Curtis-Chi??????
My lineup is sweet:
P. Manning
T.O.
T. Jones
J. Witten
A. Peterson
M. Harrison
THIS IS WHERE I NEED HELP!
Nick – Hmmm. Interesting question. I’d go Jordan if healthy. Curtis’ matchup is a lot better than McDonald’s (though it’s not great) and Benson’s matchup is so-so. I’d probably rank them: Jordan, Benson, Curtis, McDonald, though Benson is more of a sure 10 points and Curtis has more upside (but also more downside).
JP, I have Rudi Johnson as my RB2, should I go with him or go with Derrick Ward? I have Ward currently on the W/R position. I also have Kevin Faulk, Patrick Crayton and Julius Jones on the bench. Should I pick up Leonard Weaver?
I have Plaxico and Reggie Wayne, and Patrick Crayton on the bench, should I bother to pick up Kevin Walter and or Roydell William?
Is Chris Henry returning next week?
My other league, I have Frank Gore and Marion Barber, who should I start? Barber is playing against the number 1 rushing D (MIN)… but Gore is playing a pretty good D, Giant…
which rb shud i start if steven jackson doesnt play?
point system: 20yd=1pt 1td=7pt
green
foster
leonard
dunn
jones
norwood
which wr’s do i start (2): Point system: 20 yds=1 pt 1td= 7pts
chambers
randle el
a davis
d jackson
r curry
who shud i play this week at d?
NYG
Wash
Philly
KC
TB
Buff
Oakland
Cincy
JP – Who do you like at QB – Culpepper, T Jackson, or K Collins for this week only.
Def – WAS or HOU?
Sorry, forgot about at RB, Portis, Jordan, or Jones-Drew. Need two.
Scorpion – Rudi is clearly not back yet. If he starts to practice fully and it looks like he’s going to get a full workload, then he can be your RB2. It also depends on Jacobs. If he’s out, then Ward is a good RB2. If Morris and Maroney are out, then Faulk is a good RB2 or W/R. I think you can start Crayton at W/R with confidence at this point. There are just too many unknowns at this point and your decisions will be based on injuries. Wait until later in the week and things should clear up.
If it’s a PPR league, then Walter is worth a pickup, if not, you’re probably fine with the group you have, unless you’re carrying an extra kicker or defense. Then I’d rather pick up a WR.
Henry is out for 8 games.
Gore is the better play. He has a much better matchup and he’s the better back.
Gators – If Jackson doesn’t play, go with Leonard. Good matchup and he’ll get all the work.
At WR, I’d go with Chambers and Davis. Chambers has a bad matchup, but he’s a big part of the MIA offense. Davis has a nice matchup and should have a good week.
I’d rank those defenses this way: TB, NYG and PHI, based on matchup.
BT – I guess I’d go with Jackson who has the best matchup against DAL. Culpepper (vs. KC) and Collins (vs. HOU) have pretty bad matchups. I don’t have confidence in any of those guys.
RB: Jones-Drew for sure with Taylor hobbled. It seems like MJD is coming on. Portis and Jordan have similar matchups. In a PPR league I’d go with Jordan, and in a standard league, I’d probably go with Portis.
JP –
As a proud Selvin Young owner, I’ve received my fair share of trade offers from Travis Henry’s owner over the last couple weeks. The latest offer is Laurence Maroney for Selvin Young and Marvin Harrison.
This is a keeper league and Maroney has solid keeper value (6th round). Harrison is a non-keeper and Selvin Young is a 16th round keeper.
My other WR’s are Housh, Crayton, Driver, Hackett, and Burleson.
My other RB’s are Gore, McGahee, Leonard, and Chester Taylor.
We start (2) RB (3) WR and (1) RB/WR
Thoughts?
Gator Bait – I’m not sure about Maroney. It looks like the Pats intend to split carries for the foreseeable future which means he may not have that much value going into next season (5th-6th round, where guys like Barber/JJ were going). So I’d hold onto Young and Harrison and try to win this season.
ok JP…i need a filler defense…the available ones left in my league are: Miami, Atlanta, Buffalo, San Fran, Denver, New Orleans, St Louis, and NYJ. Who’s the best pick up?
Also, who should I start next week:
2 WR’s: Andre Davis, Donte Stallworth, Devin Hester, Mark Clayton, Roydell Williams
2 RB’s: Kenny Watson, J.Addai, Jamal Lewis, R. Dayne
1QB: Kurt Warner, Jeff Garcia, Marc Bulger
1 W/R: ?
Thanks
JP – What do u think about this trade – Lamant Jordan/Deion Branch for Thomas Jones/Andre Johnson
JP, I do have 2 DEF teams, Jax and TB. You said TB is a better start this week, so I start them, But Jax is a better D team go forward, so I want to keep them.
Should I drop J.Jones or C.Lemon for Kevin Walter? I have J.Kitna as my QB.
With Chamber going to SD, is Ginn a good pick?
JP,
on my other league, I’m starting E.Graham and F.Gore. Who should I start for W/R position? I have M.Barber and C.Benson on the bench.
JP, who should I start this week:
QB’s: Roethlisberger or Brees?
RB’s: F. Gore or T. Henry?
now chambers is on bye who do i get?
booker
hilliard
randle el
jackson
curry
also:
is it time to drop ahman? hes been sucking
All right, lots of questions, so let’s knock ‘em out one-by-one…
Phil – I’d go with the Bills. They are at home against the Ravens and they’ve played pretty well of late. My second choice is the Falcons, but they are on the road against a Saints team that looked pretty good on Sunday.
WR: Davis, Stallworth
RB: Watson & Addai, if Addai plays. Lewis is on bye and Dayne is nicked up. Pick up Kenton Keith if you can.
QB: Garcia, he has a great matchup with DET
W/R: Roydell Williams, I guess…might be decent with Jones out
Bobby – HOU is now saying that they are hopeful that AJ will play in Week 7 but just a few days ago there were rumors swirling that he’d be out until Week 11. The trade seems fair, as there is injury risk with Jordan, Branch and with AJ. I think I’d rather have Jordan and Branch, but the trade is even. It depends who you like.
Scorpion – If it’s a PPR league, I’d drop Lemon for Walter, but at some point you should find a spot for O’Sullivan to backup Kitna. Based on the numbers, TB is the better start this week.
Ginn is a good pickup in deep leagues, but I’d rather have Walter.
I’d go with Barber if you think you need some upside, Benson if you think you just need some sure points. Barber’s matchup is a little worse, but he’s the better player at this point.
Mick – I’d go with Big Ben. He actually has the better matchup and he’s been very consistent this season.
gators – Curry doesn’t have a great matchup, but I think he’s a good pickup. He was targeted 12 times on Sunday, so he’s still WR1 in Oakland.
I’d hold onto Green unless a great opportunity presents itself. He started off pretty well, then got nicked up. He has a couple of tough matchups coming up, but he has OAK, NO, and CLE in weeks 9, 11, 12, so he should have some good games coming up.
Huh oh…Jeff Garcia got picked up…my choices are Bulger and T. Edwards at QB…what should I do?
Go with Bulger. He says he’s healthy, so give it a go.
JP, do you think Rudi Johnson is a good play this week? He will play, do you think he will score point? Or should I go with Derrick Ward? I have Ward currently on the W/R position. I also have Kevin Faulk, Patrick Crayton and Julius Jones on the bench. Who do you think I should start for RB2 and W/R?
Should I pick up Leonard Weaver?
K.Walter is gone, T.Ginn Jr. is gone… should I drop C.Lemon for O’Sullivan?
or should I drop C.Lemon and pick up Chris Henry (WR)?
I have to start Plaxico and Reggie Wayne as my WR1 and WR2… and W. Parker is my RB1… who should I start as my RB2 and W/R? I have Patrick Crayton, Derrick Ward, J.Jones and K.Faulk…
i got a couple trade offers i mite do, gimme ur advice
steve smith and ahman green for colston and westbrook
braylon edwards and ahman green for colston and westbrook
shud i do either of them?
steve smith has a new qb, so i was thinkin i mite trade him.
this isnt ppr, point system is 20 yds= 1 pt and 1 td= 7 pts for both wrs and rbs
Hey JP, rank these RB in a TD-heavy league:
Rudi Johnson, Lamont Jordan, Lendale White
Hey Andre Johnson owners (I’m one of them, unfortunately), I just read this on Rotoworld:
“Andre Johnson says doctors have told him his knee sprain is a six-week injury, and wasn’t optimistic when asked Wednesday about his chances of playing against the Titans in Week 7.
Johnson was injured four weeks ago, and although he has begun running sprints and making some cuts, doesn’t appear to be ready for hitting and game action. “I wish I could say in a week or two I’ll be back on the field,” Johnson said. “But I can’t say that. After I run for so long, (the knee) gets pretty weak.” Look for Andre’ Davis to get another start Sunday.”
With that said, JP, who do you like more as a pickup: Lance Moore or Kevin Walter?
Should I entertain this Trade?
…The clock in ticking on this opportunity…
I trade Gore & NE D for Peyton, F.Taylor (or D.Foster) & Sea D.
(I have NcNabb & Hassleback already & would still have Portis & L.Jordan, & L.White @ RB, & I would try & trade a QB for a RB after that. I also pair Payton w/ Marvin who I have.)
Scorpion – I would go with Rudi, Faulk and Crayton. If for some reason Jacobs doesn’t play, then substitute Ward for Rudi, but Ward is dinged up too, so keep an eye on that. Weaver is an ok pickup, but who are you going to have to drop – you don’t want to drop any of these guys for him.
You should protect yourself at the QB position. Kitna is great, but he gets sacked more than a potato, so you should grab O’Sullivan who has shown he can be productive in that offense. Chris Henry is out for two more weeks and he’s the WR3 in CIN and is inconsistent when he does play.
I would go with Crayton or Faulk in your other scenario. If Maroney and Morris don’t play, Faulk is a great start against MIA, but Crayton also has a terrific matchup against MIN.
gators – I wouldn’t trade Smith away, but I’d pull the trigger on the Edwards/Green for Colston/Westy play – Westy is the big prize there and if the Saints offense comes back (like it did on Sunday) Colston’s game should get better as well.
JEC – Chris Brown is missing practice, so if he’s out, I like White then Jordan and then Rudi. If Brown practices, then I’d go Jordan, Rudi, White.
I like Moore in deeper leagues, but Walter should be owned in most leagues at this point. In PPR leagues he’s gone double digits in the last three games and he’d give you nice insurance for AJ should he continue to miss time.
Zookeeper – I don’t think I’d do that trade. Gore’s schedule is going to get easier and Smith and VD are coming back, so he should see more room to run. Plus, he has great matchups in weeks 15 &16. I don’t think pairing QBs & WRs is a sound strategy. It’s nice to get the double points, but if the offense has an off day then neither guy does well. That said, the Colts are the safest offense with that strategy. To top it off, the NE D is awesome, so you’d be losing points by trading them away.
JP – Who do you like?
WR need 2 – Curtis PHI, Bowe KC, or Evan BUF?
K – K Brown HOU or Akers PHI?
WR – I’d go Bowe and Curtis. I don’t trust either of those guys, but I REALLY don’t trust Evans right now.
K – Go with Brown. HOU will have an easier time moving the ball against TEN than PHI will against CHI, so Brown should get more FG opportunities. Plus, he’s hot right now.
JP,
Took your advise on the Peyton trade (above), but I did pull off a risky but I think solid trade on kinda a spur of the moment:
(I gave Portis, L.White, Cotchery, & J.King for S.Jackson, C.Hhambers, & J.Shockey).
W/ this deal I still have Gore & L.Jordan @ RB till Jackson is back – & then I will have a backfield to reak havic along w/ D.McNabb, R.Moss, M.Harrison, J.Shockey, & NE D.! Thoughts?
Anyway…
Who do I start t/w @ QB: D.McNabb (vs. Bears) or Hassleback (vs. Rams)?
JP, sorry, 1 more time, For my RB2, should I start Rudi or K.Faulk or Ward?
Should I drop C.Lemon for O’Sullivon? Or should I drop J.Jones for O’Sullivon? C.Lemon well last week, I don’t know if I should drop him……..
Scorpion – I thought I answered your question but I guess you’re looking for a RB2 and a W/R. I’d go with Faulk and Crayton if Maroney doesn’t play. I’d go with Rudi and Crayton if Maroney does play. I’d drop Lemon for O’Sullivan, but that’s because I’d want to lock up that DET passing game. Lemon had a great first game, but he doesn’t get to play CLE every week.
Zookeeper – that deal looks pretty good assuming Jackson comes back strong. I like Cotch more than Chambers, but Shockey is a big upgrade over King.
Ok. I picked up Steve McNair…is he worth handcuffing?
Thanks JP. Should I be concern about K.Brown? I don’t have any free roster spot, unless I drop J.Jones or him to pick up another kicker…
shud i do edwards strait up for westbrook?
now he wont trade colston, and said hed do edwards and ahman for west and porter, still worth it?
also kris brown mite b hurt, so which kicker shud i get for this week?
reed, akers, lindell, carney, elam or gould?
JP, should I start Derrick Ward, Rudi Johnson or Kevin Faulk as my RB2?
2 quick Q’s:
-Gamble that M.Harrison will play Mon, or start J.Porter?
-McNabb over Hassleback & Bulger?
