2nd pick off Waivers…

2010-09-06T23:59:53Z

So, I scored the second most points with my team, relegating me with the 2nd pick off waivers. My QB’s are Gabbert and Landry Jones. RB’s are Dion Lewis and Bernard Pierce with Anthony Allen, Chad Spann and Sam McGuffie as my reserves. Where I think I may need help are my WR’s. I have Keith Smith, Cobb and Sanu with TY Hilton on my bench. Dwayne Allen is my TE and Oklahoma is my D. I need some suggestions as to who looks good to help my team off the wire. I’m thinking Trent Richardson and the Blackmon in that order, in case Richardson is gone at least I’ll have what seems to be a great receiving core. Our league also scores HEAVILY on defenses. I would really appreciate any thoughts.

Shutdown Defense!

Defense scores HUGE in my league. Which teams do you guys think have the best chance of shutting out their opponents this week?

Week 2 pick ups

2010-09-06T13:59:40Z

I’m #2 in waver order this week with some needs to address, mainly WR. Several good options are available Boyd (UNC), Criner (AZ), Blackmon (Ok St), Pilares (HI), Sampson (SD St). At the #2 waver I also have the opportunity to upgrade my QB though with Isabelle. I currently have Kinne who will be a pretty good option with his schedule and Russell Wilson who had a good week 1, but Isabelle might be a better option. Webb put up monster numbers last year.

So should I try to grab Isabelle before getting a couple WR? And then in what order should I try to get the WR in? any one else I should look for?

RB Help

I need to start 2 RB’s in week 2. How would you rank these options?

Richardson (if Ingram is out) vs Penn St
Barner @ Tenn
James @ Tenn
D Bennett vs South Dakota
R Stewart @ CAL

Thanks guys.

BCS only + independents, 12 team league

I’m happy to report my team kicked some ass this week and had our league’s highest point total. Beat my opponent by 120 pts (he was hurt by E Royster, C Polk, Ok D among other disappointments). However I know I still need to upgrade my team going forward.

Here is how my starters performed, 192.6 total pts and still counting:

QB - D Thomas (Ore) - 19
RB - K Barner (Ore) - 52
RB - D Murray (OK) - 38
Flex - M Harris (BC) - 17.6
WR - R Cobb (UK) - 15
WR - D Lewis (TT) - 13 (still in process)
TE - Egnew (MO) - 12
D/ST - Nebraska - 15
K - Welch (Wisk) - 11

Bench
QB - Newton (Aub) 56, Ponder (FSU) 23.2, G Smith (WVU) 14.4
RB - J Hassin (Army) 24, J Thomas (FSU) 8.8, D Scott (Mary) plays Monday, J Calhoun (OK) my handcuff backup for Murray
WR - J Criner (Arz) 26, D Thompson (UF) 2

I need QB for this upcoming week. Thomas is at Tenn, Newton is at Miss St, Ponder is at Okla. I want to drop G Smith and add Matt Barkley as my first choice (vs Vir). K Cousins is also available as my 2nd option (vs FAU neutral site). From the waiver wire grab bag article, in my leauge only D Robinson and T Russell are available, but don’t think I want either one of them as my week 2 starter. Hopefully nobody grabs Barkley before me since I will be last on our waiver wire order this week. Most of our teams are pretty set at QB so hopefully they may look elsewhere for their additions. I think Barkley would be a nice upgrade to my QB unit.

I would also like to upgrade my WRs, likely dropping J Thomas to do so. None of the big names around here like Moe, Blackmon, or UNC’s Boyd are available. I’m really not sure what I can expect from TT’s D Lewis on a weekly basis, plus looking way ahead, if I make the playoffs in week 12, both Cobb and Criner have byes and my other two current WRs face IAA teams (which deduct 20%)

I’m tempted to take a chance on that Keenan Allen kid from Cal. Also in my leauge I have available all the guys from Miss St, Stanford’s Doug Baldwin, OSU’s Sanzenbacher, R Shepard, V Conner from Duke, Cincy’s DJ Woods, TJ Jones from ND, TJ Graham from NC St, Ausbery, Jock Sanders - all those guys did atleast decent this week, but that is about it really from names/teams I would consider. It is slim pickins and again, I am picking last in the waiver wire order.

I plan on dropping WR D Thompson at some point in the future as well unless he unexpectedly finds some consistency. I need some roster room in week 5 to add both a TE and D/ST due to Mizzou and Nebraska byes.

I think I’m good at RB with Murray and Harris. For Flex or byes, I can sprinkle in Hassin from Army occationally, and maybe DaRel Scott and Barner from time to time.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions.

Week 2 for Turkey Inseminating Crew

2010-09-06T16:24:22Z

I hope you men are enjoying Labor Day. I am laying next to a ornery toddler who recently got her tonsils out.

My team in review….

Team Name: Turkey Inseminating Crew
League: ACC, BIG 12, PAC 10, SEC
12 Teams with a RB/WR flex position
CBS rules (25% penalty for FCS teams)

Starters this week:
Potts, Taylor QB
Murray, DeMarco RB OK
Vereen, Shane RB CA
Barner, Kenjon RB OR
Johnson, Ronald WR USC
Moe, T.J. WR MO
Williams, D.J. TE AR
Williams, Matt K TXTECH
Oklahoma DST

Reserves:
Luck, Andrew QB STAN
James, LaMichael RB OR
Lattimore, Marcus RB SC
Quigley, Angus RB KS
Criner, Juron WR AZ
Thompson, Deonte WR FL
————————————————————

Question
A guy in our league did auto draft and is loaded at WR but needs RBs and depth.
He has:
R. Cobb
J. Kearse
R. Broyles

I was thinking about going for Cobb with a combo of Criner/Barner since Cobb has a later bye and I am concerned about Murray / Broyles on the same team.

Is that a fair trade, and if not what would you offer?

Am I too quick to dismiss Broyles?

Potts v Luck / Vereen v Quigley / R. Johnson v Moe v Criner

2010-09-02T22:01:59Z

I found your site today and I really like the format. As I type this, my “reach” pick, Lattimore already has two TDs from my bench. Of course he does. I am in an ACC, BIG 12, PAC 10, SEC only league through CBS, so the 25% FCS penalty is in effect. My dilemmas this week are in the subject line. I am leaning toward Potts do to the penalty for Luck and missing Owusu. Vereen’s hamstring is why I am leaning toward Quigley. I have to admit I don’t know the PAC 10 that well so I really don’t know between the last three. I am leaning against Moe til he proves himself. Thanks in advance.
