ff07 2 Posted October 12, 2012 Anyone with multiple Patriots playing this weekend worried about their production? You find that you're trying to talk yourself out of starting more than one to 'hedge' against a low scoring game? I for one can't due to bye weeks so I'm hoping for the best. Obviously you play who you think will give you the most points. But this game smells funny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vegassandwich227 0 Posted October 12, 2012 i'm playing against Brady and Bolden, so I'm hoping that NE has minimal production, and that any TD's they get are on runs by Ridley, Woodhead, or Vereen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the bosses 0 Posted October 12, 2012 I can see 0 catches for Lloyd and Branch. I think the Pats have a chance over the middle. The noise will be a factor at the line of scrimmage for the offense but if they can move quick enough to minimize defense substituitons, there is a chance that they can do some damage that no one else has up to this point. That said I am benching Brady for Kevin Kolb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fantasy Noob 10 Posted October 12, 2012 I don't think I would be too woried to start any Patriots especially if they go uptempo for all four quarters. Our offense is bad (epically) and is going to leave our defense on the field too long which probably means Ridlye/Bolden get some decent numbers too when they are killing clock in the fourth quarter. The way you kill us is by using your TE's and underneath stuff...gulp. The Packers owned us in the second half of that game with this strategy and some runs/draws to keep the pass rush honest, but they never broke off any big plays because our secondary is so good. I see something similar happening the whole first half and the second half having some big plays break out on us. Really our best shot was to keep the replacement refs around for another couple weeks and hope the noise scared them into favoring the home team again. A few friendly "I know where you live" and "Good luck getting to the airport" and they would have caved at a critical moment and given us another win.

That said I am benching Brady for Kevin Kolb. 0 catches for Llyod? I'm kind of concerned but not sure that Stevie Johnson, Bowe-without Cassel or Crabtree are better options. I need to pick at least 2 in a PPR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetdoc 20 Posted October 12, 2012 That said I am benching Brady for Kevin Kolb. Ballsiest move of the week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Hook 6 Posted October 12, 2012 Welker, 0, Gronk 8 catches 88 yards and 2 td's, Lloyd, 3 catches for 45 yrds, RB's will dominate with Woodhead leading the way. 125 and 2 td's The only player I have on this list is Gronk. Seattle D will be exposed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seattle D will be exposed. Do you really think that about Woodhead? I have both him and Ridley in a PPR. I can actually see a scenario where the Pats go no huddle often and Woodhead out produces him but I'm not sure I can make that start. How ballsy can I be?

Joey Gladstone 33 Posted October 12, 2012 There's nobody bigger on the Seattle D then me, especially at home but I'm still starting Ridley over CJ and Ballard. The Seattle offense should create good field position for Brady and company. I don't see how you can bench Brady, Gronk, Ridley or Welker unless you have strong options on your bench.

Completely understand but I don't think we can assume that we can't move the ball enough to keep them starting in their own territory. Beast mode + John Ryan.

I'm sticking with Welker. Despite the fact that he's a republican. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MedStudent 56 Posted October 12, 2012 These are the kinds of games that Brady usually excels at. A lot of talk this week about how the pars will have trouble with the Seattle defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,209 Posted October 12, 2012 I'm sitting Lloyd in one league (PPR) for either Roberts or McGahee. I'm starting Ridley in another (non-PPR). Best option is Maclin, but Ridley is close to must-start status IMO regardless of the matchup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
