A simple request to John Madden

[A simple request to John Madden]

Madden should mut his own mug on the cover next year. Madden sucks.

[1 no brainer and 1 rb question]

Do the trade right now. Also I would start Gore and Portis. Portis' shoulder doesn't bother me and he has a favorable match-up this week to boot. I really like Gore this year and think he could be a top 7 RB. Now Rudi is another thing. The Steelers always seem to have 8 guys in the box at the snap of the ball. I don't see him getting more than 60 yards and maybe a goaline plunge TD.

 

Here is mine

[YES or NO]

With Steve Smith coming back, Keyshawn's numbers should start looking better. Personally, I think Cotchery's recent performance is a fluke. Reggie Williams is a tempting pick-up, though, as it appears he's Leftwich's #1 target.

 

I totall agree with this statement. I expect Keyswawn's numbers to improve. But the Jags WRs seem almost interchangable. It is hard to predict who will get the 1 or 2 TD passes in the game.

[What does everyone think of Cadillac?]

Caddy's back problem sounds like it is getting worse. Having a lower back problem myself, I really don't like him this year at all. I like starting Gore and if it is between a banged-up Caddy, Barlow, and Tiki. I would have to go with Tiki. Even Carolina's defense has been giving up some yardage it is because they are on the field too much. With the return of Steve Smith this week, I think the offense will be noticably better. Thus helping out the defense.

[HOLT OR COLES-WHICH WR HAS MORE VALUE?]

I think Holt would get more bang for the buck. From other posts I have read had them getting guys like Jordan for Coles and even Gore for Holt. It all depends on if you like to buy low or high. I am guessing Coles is your 3rd WR and getting a starting RB would probably leave you with a better team.

 

Here is mine

[I am benching the leading scorer in my league(Gore)]

I have Ronnie Brown vs TEN and Shaun Alexander vs NYG. Now I just aquired Alexander and really don't want to bench the #1 pick in our draft. Ronnie Brown has a very favorable match-up. Philly looks pretty stout against the run. So Gore is going on the bench. What would you guys do?

[Thoughts on Gore's performance this week?]

I am benching him this week. It helps that I have Ronnie Brown vs TEN and just aquired Shaun Alexander via a trade. Even though I have those two guys, it feels weird to bench the leading scorer(actually tied for 1st). Hopefully, I won't regret it. My league is basically a TD league with a minimal rewards for yards and receptions.

[Who is starting L. Coles this week?]

I am almost forced to start him. Alot of my WRs are banged up. My other options are Mi. Clayton and Moulds

[Saints vs. Falcons Monday Night]

What is the over/under on the amount of times Katrina will be said? 75? I don't like turning espn/sportscenter all seeing a bunch of human interest stories. I tune in to see highlights, analysis, and scores. I am not downplaying the devastation Katrina caused. I just get enough of these stories from the broadcast and cable news.

[Anybody buying low on Shaun Alexander?]

I just landed him 2 days ago. I wasn't looking to trade for him, but his owner offered Alexander and R.Moss for Portis and Roy Williams. The guy was 0-2. I am thinking he was deperate.

[2 Questions I need help on]

1: Warner all the way. SF put up some yards on STL. Imagine what ARI will do. ANd ecspecialy if your league penalizes for int and fumbles lost.

 

2: Grab Jacobs right now. Lundy is almost worthless

 

MINE

[What's Gore worth?]

Do you have Peyton or Eli? If you have Peyton than why would you want Palmer. You can only start one a week. Like the above posters said, try and get Wayne instead. Though you will probably have to give up Driver. Maybe he'll take Walker, but I doubt it.

 

MINE

[DeAngelo or Portis?]

Portis says he is playing. GO with him. Like the above posters said you should wait and see till sunday. Houston is just pathetic. Wasington will go up early and run the ball most of the second half. Portis will have 120yds and atleast 1 td.

 

MINE

[Who should I start at RB this week?]

isnt he hurt?

 

I thought I read somethinhg about his shoulder. Anyways, that is a tough one. You could always flip a coin. If it was my team I would start Foster though. I think he will play more.

 

MINE

[BLOCKBUSTER TRADE...I GET RUDI/HOLT I GIVE LJ]

I would do it. Even though I don't like the 3 guys on one team. I really like Rudy this year. If you can pull off the Manning deal, that would be icing on the cake. If you can't I would try and trade one of the Bengals though. That is a tough one.

 

MINE

[Thomas Jones For Hines Ward]

If wou have some RB depth, than do it. It is hard to say without seeing your team. Benson was the 5th pick and will get some srious playing time this year. You can count on it. Yeah, you should probably do it.

 

Here is mine

[Get TO while he's hurt?]

OK so he said he will want a replacement WR obviously and I would get a replacement RB, Dillon. Should I try and offer DJack and Chester Taylor 4 TO and Dillon? And if he doesn't take that should i trade DJack and Gore 4 Dillon, considering I would still have Tiki/Ronnie Brown/Chester Taylor and only start 2 RBs?

I would do that in a flash. TO will be back fairly quick. Having his bye this week really help. I would not do it for Gore though. That man is a beast.

 

Here's mine

[Week 3 start Plummer @ NE or Frye vs BAL?]

Plummer. The Baltimore Def is nasty right now. Maybe pick someone up off of waivers.

I totally agree. Browns will probably be shutout. Barring any tunovers. CLE can't run for crap and Frye will be on his back alot. If your league penalizes for fum lost or int I would definitely go for Plummer.

[Who should I start?]

You have some tough DEF matchups there, but here you go:

 

Galloway- Even TB is 0-2 Joey is Simms main target

Jones- this guy is a freak and will get a TD this week

Berrian- this was close with Cotchery but BUF def is tough and the Vikes have some injuries to their's

 

Colston- I have a feeling Baltimore will not let up a TD for the 3rd straight week thus ruling out Winslow

 

Here is mine

[trade help, please]

I would say keep what you got. If you could get Addai instead of Dillon it would make it better but I still like Jones and Holt better. It is hard to say without seeing your team.

 

Here's mine

[Which QB to start?]

I am not a big Vick fan so I say start Warner. If SF can put up points on STL then ARI should light it up.

 

Help me out

[Alexander & R.Moss for Portis & RoyWilliams]

I give Portis and Williams. I have been thinking about it all day and still haven't made up my mind. Help a FF brother out. My team is in my sig. It is basiclly a TD league. Leave a link.

[I was just offered Larry Johnson for Tiki Barber.........]

Just do it. LJ is a beast and will score TDs. With Jacobs vulturing GL carries it is a no-brainer.

[Coles/Foster/LJSmith for Boldin/Jordan/Cooley]

I would do it. I like Boldin alot more than Coles(who is on my team). Jordan has to get better right, and like you said carolina is prolly rbbc. Who cares about your backup TE anyways. Go for it.

 

MINE

[Trade Proposal]

I totally agree with the above poster. I like you rb situation. Unless you can start 3 rbs. Maroney could pay off big later. I definitely like Maroney more than Benson.
