Kitsnow 0 Posted November 17, 2008 If Lee Evans and Jamal lewis get More than 20 and Less than 30 then Yes. I need 30 points to win from those two because my kicker was out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frank 2,145 Posted November 18, 2008 What the hell happened with Carney this week? I know Tynes has been waiting in the wings but why would they de-activate Carney According to ESPN, Tynes was put in because he has a stronger leg and the wind was supposed to be a problem. I happened to notice Carney was out 30 minutes before the game. For some reason, Bryant was available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrgymrat 0 Posted November 18, 2008 Carney was listed with the other Inactives one hour prior to kickoff so I'm guessing you didn't get the memo? I dropped him and picked up Folk as I am not a fan of Tynes. It seemed like it was only a matter of time that the G-Men would go back to Tynes since for whatever reason they didn't drop him when they had the chance. I'm guessing that because Carney sucks at kickoffs then they'll take whatever Tynes can give them as a placekicker and drop Carney to create a roster spot.

ben4uf 0 Posted November 18, 2008 Its not because Carney sucks, but that he is ancient and doesnt have the leg strength he used to have and as mentioned the weather conditions were quite windy so they put in the now healthy Tynes. I was one of those people who got far too drunk Saturday night (Gators and Brock Lesnar win = many keg stands) and didnt wake up in time to check inactives to see Carney got pulled. Luckily, I scored a ton of points with my other players and the opponent had a horrible outing so it didnt cost me a win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MudDawgs4Life 6 Posted November 18, 2008 if a team has a kicker controversy, is tynes or carney really worth it to have to pay attention to who's kicking all week? why don't you just grab any other kicker and not have to think about it. kickers on free agency in my league in include elam (the top kicker overall), akers, and bryant. i dont see how you would try to lock up the giants kicker and risk things like this happening, when there are equal kickers (with far less risk) sitting around on the wire. come on guys, this is fantasy 101. don't make problems for you when you don't have to.

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted November 18, 2008 Dropped him midweek, only because a better kicker cleared waivers. Worked out pretty well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaxie 0 Posted November 18, 2008 I had to change my dad's lineup for him at the last minute because he was out of town and had Carney active... Gould only got him 3 points, but he won by 2. Yeah he owes me HUGE. He's lucky he wasn't playing against me this week or I'd have left it! HAHA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
