http://www.pigskinaddiction.com/2010/01/Tue/GBGWK01.html His projections are pretty conservative. It's rare that he goes out on a limb but I do like his commentary on each game. http://www.fantasysportscentral.com/football/cheatsheet.asp I do like the weekly cheatsheet. I go with my gut week to week but when I am really torn between 2 players, I just go with the cheatsheet. It's a good resource when used correctly.

Really ?

I wanted Moss in my money league. Unfortunately he went a little early. He was drafted late in the 6th round of a 10 team league. It looked like McNabb was really looking to get the ball to him in Week 2 of the preseason. He targeted him 6 times and the chemistry was developing. I like Moss to go over 1,000 yards receiving with 8 or 9 TDs this season, providing McNabb plays all 16 games. 80 catches seems about right. Hell, if he can get 70 catches and 900 yards last year with Jason Campbell at the helm, I think he will get 10 more catches and 1,000+ this year.

In order to have just one more game for everyone in our league, we have a "Pro Bowl". The Super Bowl Champ is decided in week 16 and in week 17 all owners come back in for one more game. Highest scorer of the week gets $50. I know that many teams are resting or partially resting players but it's better than our season being over and doing nothing in week 17 !

Thank you all for responding to my thread ( or flaming me beacuse you need to rant a little ) Again, know that by definition it is not collusion. However, man, you guys just don't know my crazy league. Guys go ape-**** when they see a big name player who is on the downside of his career involved in a trade .... especially when I am involved because I am the Commish I guess. Looks like Tomlinson had a good game today. Although had I started Reggie Bush, I would have gotten a few more points.

The trade is: Team A gets LT Team B gets kicker Jeff Reed and running back Tashard Choice My team is Team A. I am looking for a decent flex player to use instead of Reggie Bush. My buddy needs a back up kicker since Kris Brown of Houston is on a bye and he is the Marion Barber and Felix Jones owner so Choice has value to him. He is 3-6 ... I am 6-3 He's not giving up because the higher he finishes, the better his draft pick will be next year. ( 10 team / 1 player keeper / the bottom 4 team miss the playoffs but draft in reverse order ie. the team that finishes in dead last drafts 4th and the team that just missed the playoffs gets the #1 pick ) We are all friends and this is a $100 per league. So .... is this a trade that should be allowed to go through ?

I know that by definition it is not collusion. I also know that in no way am I attempting to stack my team using a trade with a friend. However, I also know my league and I know how they over react to any trade involving a big name player and I just needed unbiased opinions. Thx

Oh .... stats of these guys: LT: 91 carries, 289 yards, 3 TDs ( 9 rec, 40 yds. 0 TDs ) Choice: 51 carries, 249 yards, 3 TDs ( 14 rec, 123 yards, 0 TDs ) League scoring: 1 pt for every 20 yards rush / rec ... 6 pts TD

First off .... WRONG BOARD ! Secondly .... really ? Hell, it would be a fair trade if you only got Gore in the deal. Williams is just a little extra. Plus think of it this way. This trade prevents you from starting LT every week and getting killed because of it. ( P.S. - I own Austin in my money league - I traded Gore for Moss straight up at the draft this year { they were our keeper players in a 1 player keeper league} I miss Gore as I have had him for a few seasons now )

Which is it ? The trade is fine.

Someone would be a tool if they didn't quit for $1,000 ? $1,000 isn't that much for some people. Imagine if someone offered you $50 to give up fantasy football. Would you be a tool for not taking the 50 bucks ? Yet for some people $50 is a decent chunk of money. For me I'd guess I'd quit for 10 grand. For 100k, I'd quit without a second thought !

Where are the geek consensus ? Draft is tomorrow.

WRONG BOARD !!!!! ( LT , Moss and Colston are a nice start )

Well we missed it greatly but understand the needed break. However, Mike said that he was going to compile the data, took the threads down and never came through with the compilations. Mike ... you're FIRED !

I have tried in the past to find a FF site that lets me customize scoring to match our league's rules. So far I have had no luck. I've listed the league scoring rules and line ups if you care to gloss over them. Otherwise you can skip and just toss me the site if you want. Basic rundown of our rules ( we still have an emphasis on TD's ): Yardage – 1 pt. Per 20 yards Rushing / Receiving combined for RBs & Receivers 1 pt. Per 50 yards Passing / Rushing combined for Quarterbacks Touchdown - 6 pts. for TD run or reception Touchdown Pass - 4 pts. for the passer Field Goal - 3 pts. for the kicker Extra Point -1 pt. for the kicker 2 Point Conversion - (run)-2 pts. for the runner (pass)-2 pts. for the receiver /1 pt for the passer Defense - 5 points for a shutout, 2 points for giving up 2 - 9 points, 1 point for giving up 10 - 13 points, 2 points per turnover and 1 point per sack Bonus points - Runningbacks get 1 pt for going over 100 yards rushing and receiving combined and 1 pt for every 50 yards there-after. Receivers get 2 pts for 100 yards combined and 2 pts for every 50 there-after. (This includes TE’s) Quarterbacks get 1 bonus point for every over 300 yards passing / rushing combined & 1 point for every 50 yards there-after Kickers get 1 bonus point for every field goal 50 yards and over Finally ... our line ups are VERY flexible. You start QB, Kicker and Team Def/ Special Teams then a combo of 5 RB/TE/WR ( You can start up to 3 RBs and up to 4 WRs ... so you could have a line up of RB,RB,RB,WR,WR or RB,WR,WR,WR,WR ( Tight Ends are not mandatory and are simply considered a "receiver" ) Lastly, the "bubble player" rule which everyone in our league loves. Considering all the BS game time decisions and deception in the NFL now it is nearly impossible to know if an injured player is going to play and most people in our league have families and things to do so they can't sit glued to the TV for pre-games. The “Bubble” Player: If any of your starters are listed as “Questionable” on the NFL injury report you can name a “bubble” player in case that player does not play. Your “bubble” player does not have to be of the same position ( ie. You can bubble a Receiver for a Running Back as long as doing so would not give you an illegal line up ) There is no limit on the number of “bubble” players you can use per week but again, you can only “bubble” players for starters who are listed as “Questionable” on the injury report. One bubble player per injured player. Sooooooooo ............ any ideas of the most customizable site to use ?

I think your team accidentally got posted on the wrong board.

First off ... this is a Team Management question ! That said, you wouldn't start him in Week 1 against Baltimore anyway and Arizona gets a nice start at home against the 49ers. So forget about the possibility of him missing week 1. Kansas City has a pretty brutal schedule ( @ Philly, NY Giants, @ Washington, San Diego twice of course, @ Jacksonville and Pittsburgh ) Now, some of those games if not most, they will be playing from behind and throwing a ton. They should be able to move the ball against some of those teams. I don't know that Brady Quinn is in a better situation than Cassel. Cleveland plays Baltimore and Pittsburgh twice, Minnesota, @ Buffalo, @ Chicago and Jacksonville. None of those are very good match ups for the Browns and they will also be playing from behind. They even play Green Bay who's Defense is a question mark to me but it is another game where they will be playing from behind, I just don't know if it's a "good from behind" as I can't tell you if they will move the ball. ( Buy the way ... is it ever a "good from behind" when you are a guy ? smirk ) Lastly, Favre. I just don't see the Viqueens letting him throw the ball more than 20 - 25 times a game, tops ! If they are smart, they will let Brett dink and dunk under 15 yards all day. Maybe let him throw deep a couple times just to keep the defense honest but make sure to tell that interception machine to overthrow everyone ! So, I say, hang on to Cassel as I just don't see the other 2 QBs as in a better situation than what you already have.

Maybe at least put the threads back up so the people who want to do the math can ? I just don't understand what happened this year. The Geek Consensus was always ready at least 2 to 3 weeks before the season started. I really missed having them for this year's draft.

My top 5 players on my roster have bye weeks in week 7 and 8. Randy Moss Chris Johnson Tom Brady Larry Johnson T.J. Housh I just picked the best available and hoped to make up for it in the middle rounds. So, in a word, yes it plays a role. However, for me it only plays a role in the middle rounds when I am drafting my bye week fillers.

Actually, it's one pick. And besides, what is this fixation with picks ? You realize what percentage of draft picks turn out to be "All Pro" ? So, you trade away a pick that may or most likely will not turn out to be a Pro Bowl player for a sure thing ( someone who has proven to be a Pro Bowl player ). I'd gladly build a team around draft picks traded for All Pro players and players from free agency.

Why in the hell is it so hard for the Bears to call Denver and tell them ... "Hey, you can have our 2nd rounder next year to go with the first rounder you already have" ? "Send Brandon Marshall packing and put him on a plane to Chicago." "Oh, and make sure he doesn't drop his boarding "pass". This is such a no brainer. Most GMs really aren;t that smart.

Marshall is not even catching balls, just knocking them down to the ground in practice. It is obvious that this guy is not about to make a single play for Denver. They might as well get a high draft pick and start to rebuild. They are pretty far from being a possible Super Bowl team and by the looks of it, they aren't even going to make the playoffs.

What would it hurt to add a veteran like Harrison ? Providing he thought he could help the team enough and make a last run at a Super Bowl ? What would it take to get Brandon Marshall ? Next year's second round pick ? Denver already has our first rounder from the Cutler trade. Hell, give em the 2nd and 3rd. A guaranteed all pro receiver for 2nd and 3rd round kids out of college ? I don't know if it is possible, I just wondered how the Bears would improve with just the right receiver ? Minnesota went out and got Brett. He won't be asked to throw the ball more than 15 to 20 times a game most weeks. I'd just like to see the Bears add the "1 piece" that we might be missing. And yes, Olson looked good !

The Bears organization is so proud of themselves for getting Cutler. I'm a Bears fan and I'm happy too. But if I'm making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and have to scrape out the tiny bit of jelly from the bottom of the jar and it barely covers the piece of bread, I'm not so happy about my sandwich. That's where the Bears are at Wide Receiver. If Brandon Marshall is so unhappy in Denver, wouldn't it make sense for the Bears to call Denver up and ask what it would take to get a trade done ? What about Marvin Harrison ? Is he done for sure ? I could see numbers like: Marshall: 80 catches - 1050 yards - 8 TDs or Harrison: 70 catches - 750 yards - 6 TDs Are there any other receivers available and what kind of production would you forsee ?
