    I've got serious RB decisions & it being playoff week I'm asking for some help. I can start 3

     

    P Lindsay @ SF

    L Fournette @ Tenn

    N Chubb v Car

    S Ware v Bal

    D Johnson v Det

    D Cook @ Sea

     

    I feel like Lindsay & Fournette are must starters but torn between Johnson, Chubb & Ware. The guy Im playing has Mahomes & I'm not much on starting a player to counter opponent's QB & Ware didn't impress much last game.

     

    Any suggestions?

     

    Thank you

    I've got a good problem to have. I have Rashard Mendenhall, Arian Foster & Peyton Hillis. I have to start 2. Foster has been the top scoring rb in our league but he's playing the Jets.

     

    Right now I'm starting Mendenhall & Foster. On one hand I'm thinking of sitting Foster b/c of the Jets D & his grandma has died & he may be depressed or he could be motivated. On the other I'm thinking of sitting Mendenhall but he's playing the Raiders in Pittsburgh but he has put up some crappy 5 pt weeks this year. He cost me a win last week with his half assed effort.

    Collie ricocheted off the first hit. There was no way Coleman could avoid making the contact. Even Phil Simms said that Collie had caught the ball & protected himself turning himself into a runner. Then he said that you could make helmet to helmet contact with a runner just not a defenseless WR or QB.

     

    It was a bad call & a legal football hit.

    I'm a life long Falcons fan & I got tired of people asking the same questions when Vick was in Atl. He was a winner. When Atl had Vick at qb, you went into every game thinking you had a chance to win. He did not have the best stats but he brought more excitement to Atl than had been there since Deion & Hammer were running the sidelines.

     

    Now he's on a better overall team with a better Head Coach. Andy Reid is by far a better coach than anyone in Atl that Vick had except for maybe Dan Reeves who Vick had his most success with. He's also on a team that was winning before he arrived. DeSean Jackson is a better WR than Roddy was with Vick. Jeremy Maclin is better than any wr #2 than Atl had. Back when Vick was in Atl, Crumpler was his main target & Brent Celek is just as good than Crumpler was. He's in a better situation & has a better chance to make plays. When he was in Atl, he was the show. Everyone knew to game plan for Vick & everything else will be fine. Vick's just part of the success in Philly.

     

    I also think Vick's prison time has helped him with his work ethic & arrogance which in term is going to help him on the field.

     

    As far as your original question, I don't think Vick will ever be Peyton or Brady statisticly but Vick isn't a prototype pocket passer either. I think Vick will be fine.

    I've always drafted RB heavy & this year I think I did exceptionally well except for the fact I have RB questions every week.

     

    I have to start 2...opinions

     

    Gore @ KC

    Foster v Dal

    Mendenhall @ TB

    Best @ Minn

     

    Right now I'm starting Gore & Foster b/c Foster is at home & you know the Texans are gonna be pumped to put Dallas at 0-3. :banana:

     

    I also can't see why you'd sit Gore. :thumbsup:

    I don't know how I ended up like this but I've got 4 good RBs but can only start 2. This week I'm really confused on who to start.

     

    Adrian Peterson - He's going against Baltimore in Minnesota...how can you sit AP? right?

     

    Ryan Grant - He's got Detroit in GB. I know a lot of people are disappointed but he's been a good 10 pts every week & this week he's got Detroit.

     

    Kevin Smith - Like Grant he's been a solid 10 pts every week. If he doesn't get a td, he gets 100 yds combined.

     

    Ray Rice - He has been on fire of late & like AP, I hate to sit him.

     

    I like it when my players play each other. That way one of my RBs will be on the field at all times & hopefully scoring for me.

     

    I'm thinking of starting AP & Ray Rice but I like the matchup Ryan Grant has but also Kevin Smith.

     

    opinions?

    Ricky - They drug test us at work all the time. If we piss + then we get fired. If Ricky wants to smoke...that's Ricky's prerogative...he just can't play football smoked up. :dunno: <--still looks like Clinton Portis However Ricky has tested + many times. Last time I checked...drugs was illegal.

     

    Pac-Man - Idiot. Brian Dawkins said on Total Access that its a privilege to play in the NFL & if you can't stay out of trouble then you don't get to play. Pac-Man was convicted in WV and was on parole when all this other stuff came up.

     

    Vick - Vick has been accused of giving women herpes, sneaking marijuana in a water bottle through an airport & of dog fighting.

     

    The difference between Vick, Pac-Man & Ricky is that Vick hasn't been convicted or charged with anything. He settled out of court with the girl, they didn't find any marijuana in the water bottle & charged him with nothing. They still haven't charged him with dog fighting. He just owned the house.

     

    Vick shouldn't be included with Ricky & Pac-Man until he's convicted of anything.

    Not sure what you fools are talk'n about. Vick have finished in the top 10 the last 2 seasons based on FFToday's scoring system. Unless you are in an 8 team league, he should be a starter on someone's team.

     

    Vick actually finished 8th in scoring last year in our league with 265 pts, Bledsoe finished 7th with 276pts.

     

    My first picks were

    1. Steven Jackson

    2. Rudi Johnson

    3. Brian Westbrook

    4. Hines Ward

    5. Donald Driver

     

    The first 10 in our league were

     

    1. Larry Johnson

    2. Shaun Alexander

    3. LT2

    4. Clinton Portis

    5. Tiki Barber

    6. Peyton Manning

    7. Steven Jackson

    8. Edge James

    9. Matt Hasselbeck (this guy was drinking beer with tomato juice in it at 9am...could explain the pick?)

    10. Steve Smith

    11. Marvin Harrison (I'd atleast took Holt or CJ if I was taking back to back WRs)

     

     

    That was our first round. However after each 2 rounds we redraw for picking positions again. I can't remember where I picked in the 3rd b/c we redrew...that's probably how I got Westbrook in the 3rd. Donald Driver fell to the 5th and they even made fun of me for picking him...I guess they think Favre's too old. :lol:

     

    thanks for the opinions & advice

    Creativity in Perversion: Paul Daniel Metcalf Jr., 39, was arrested in Asheville, N.C., in April and accused of two incidents in which he allegedly doused female department store shoppers with his semen, at least once (according to a store's surveillance camera) by spitting it at a woman through a straw.

    Its nice to see so many SC's here. I'm in Anderson SC.

     

    I grew up in Travelers Rest SC which is about 30 miles south of Asheville. I have a friend who grew up & lives in Asheville now. The only difference that I know of living in Asheville would be the weather. Its usually 10-15 degrees cooler every day which is nice in the Summer but come winter time...it snows there quite often.

     

    Also if you take a trip to downtown Asheville sometime you'll find that for some reason there are alot of freaks down there. There's alot of tree hugging...take some herbs & let's love one another people. That weird chick Courtney from Survivor would fit nicely there. You yourself may also be a freak so don't take that as offensive...they're just a little more in tune with "nature" than I am. :cheers: :blink:
