I don't think Arizona is going to do nearly as well offensively this year as they did last year. I'm sure they''ll still be good, but they're not going to have three WR's with over a thousand yards again. Not to mention Warner's not getting any younger. Fitzy will still put up some big numbers for them though I'm sure.

Cheers Daser. I was trying to find a decent replacement RB, but... meh, there aren't many :) And yes, I put Moore in the team this week. As well as Flacco, so watch Cutler throw 15 touchdowns this weekend.

I've got 5 running backs too. :) I'm open to trade talks. I'll trade you Chad Pennington and Darren Sproles for Flacco...maybe. :)

Ok everybody, I need your help. In my pay league, I have to struggle with some choices this week.

QB:1
Jay Cutler - Chi, vs Pit
David Gerrard - Jac vs Ari

RB:2
Michael Turner - Atl vs Car
KEvin Smith - Det vs Min
Cedric Benson - Cin vs @GB

And then for my WR/TE flex, I can choose between:
Benjamin Watson - NE vs @NYJ
Derrick Mason - Bal vs @SD
or
Torry Holt - Jac vs Ari

So which QB, which 2 RB's, and which receiver should I start?
As a note the offensive scoring is:
Passing TD 3 pts
Passing Yards 50 1 pt.
Interceptions -2 pts
Rushing Yards 20 1 pt
Rushing TD 6 pts
Fumble -2pts
Rec Yards 20 1pt
Rec TD 6 pts.

I don't think I want to start Torry, But the Jets are good at shutting down TE's and Mason isn't getting lots of looks from Flacco.

MN has a great run defense, so it might be hard for the Lions to rush much when they will be down most of the game, presumably. However GB's rush defense actually looked good, and I think Kevin Smith is a better RB than Benson. Most Likely playing Turner.

QB's - Cutler is better, but he actually had me at 0 points week one because of all the interceptions, and the Pit defense is much better than Ari's. Gah.

My starting WR's are Steve Smith Car and Reggie Wayne IND, btw, I'm not changing those.

Cutler because he wont always throw 4 int's, he will pull it together.
turner and smith
Mason for the flex as flacco can air it out, and SD def was craptastic against Oakland, and dont expect what watson had last week to become a regular occurence each week.

Kalem makes good advice.



I was given this advice before this season started and think it has some merit, so will pass it on to you.

Take a look at my roster, slum. See if there is anyone you'd trade for Sproles and let me know.

Last week my magic 8 ball predicted Slum would win over TB. Since i am oldfashioned, i cant stand to have the ladies mad at me, so i eagerly asked the 8 ball, if i could find me some way to get her back on my good side.

Magic 8 ball predictions for week 2.

1. Girly team beats Commis because Favre will not throw enough for both V. Shiancoe and B. Berrian to get decent points.

2. It really like Venge`s chances against the Gunslinger`s lead by D. Brees. I didnt see this coming so will just trust the Magic 8 ball!

3. That i should buy more booze if i intend to watch Arizona - Jaguars and that i should watch Giants - cowboys instead. WTF grrr what does that mean!



Brood i also have 5 RB and the only 1 i probarly wont trade is MJD. Feel free to suggest something.Posted Image

Gerrard (Cutler's going to get wrecked vs. Pitt.
Turner and your second back is going to suck. Tkae the one likely to get goal-line carries.
Mason will draw Asamoagha, Holt will draw Mathis, play Watson.

I agree with all of this advice. I would go with Smith over Benson as Detroit is at home this week. Also benson sucks..
How many fucking people do I have to hammer in order to get that across.

Talent-wise, Kevin Smith is a much better player than Benson imho.

Misspelled.

Asomugha, Nnamdi

Also, not Mathis (they are on the same team now, lol), Holt will draw Rodgers-Cromartie.

HD, nnamdi is on Oakland, not SD, you might be thinking of the cromartie on SD tho, but SD's def has been crap lately and im sure mason will get his share of passes.

Lol you guys are all over the place, how will Obdi ever understand any of this.

DRC = Arizona CB named Cromartie, so yes is possible he will cover HOLT.

Cromartie (the San Diego CB) is still a beast, though. Just as good as Asomugha imo.

Well now we know I'm set! The win is mine for sure, considering Daser's dire predictions last week led to my humliliating downfall! If it appears in the magic eight ball it must be true. Posted Image

We're cool Daser dear, you are officially back in the good books!

Well, since LT is sitting this week out I guess I will hold on to Sproles for the time being and start him rather than Addai tomorrow.

Here's to hoping he tears up up the Ravens D...
