Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

I will start it off with my RB situation.
Starting 2 RBs and one RB in the WR/RB spot. Standard yahoo points

E. James (v. CLE) so far has 20 points in his first two games
T. Barber (v @SD) so far has 30.5 points
J. Jones (v @SF) so far has 23 points
W. Parker (v NE) so far has 28 points

which three would you pick?

Re: Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

JAMES, BARBER, J. JONES I think NE puts an end to Willie Parkers fabulous start this week. I start these 3 guys and don't think twice about it.

Re: Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

I start James, Barber & Jones as well.

Re: Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

I go w/ Jones, James, and Barber. Nice RB's, though.

Re: Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

I'm with the majority here, as well: Barber, Jones, James.

Re: Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

Thanks for all advice,
here is another question.

I have to start 2 QBs, here are my options

Bledsoe (@SF)
Pennington (v. JAC)
Greise (@GB)

I definately will start Bledsoe, who should I pick between Pennington and Greise?

Re: Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

Griese is the better fantasy QB and he has a much better matchup. Easy choice there.

Re: Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

griese no doubt. GB is in a downward spiral

I think I go Griese here because of the matchups.

Re: Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

My WR situation is something of a mess (not worth explaining). Anyway, I'm clearly starting Torry Holt this and every week, but right now, I don't have a second or third guy emerging from the pack. I need to start two of the following:

Eric Parker vs. NYG
Samie Parker at Den
Eric Moulds vs. Atl
Tyrone Calico at StL
Kevin Curtis vs. Ten
Robert Ferguson vs. TB

I'm going to be playing matchups week to week, and this week it looks like Eric Parker is one clear choice, given that the Giants secondary has been giving up a ton of yards (granted, they have been up big in both games and the other team has been forced to pass, but even in the early going last night, they seemed soft).

Does anyone give thought to starting someone other than Moulds and E. Parker here?

-McGee

Re: Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

Griese. MUCH Better match-up. Did you see what Jax did to Peyton Manning?? and what Trent Dilfer did to GB??

Re: Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

Champ Bailey will be on Tony G, so Sammie Parker will be up against a saftey or nickle back.

I like it. Indy's next 5 games are Cle, @Ten, @SF, STL, @HOU. Manning, Harrison, Wayne, etc should start putting up big numbers again. Benson, Arrington, Williams, Bell should be able to cover your bye weeks. Benson plays DET on Edge's bye week. Duece's bye week, Arrington plays DET & Bell plays Oak.

Looking at the other guys team, their mostly under performing and he may be panicking. I'd counter offer with 3 for 3 trade. Maybe add Chambers/Bennet for Boldin, but accept his original offer if he rejects your counter.

Wow, yuck. I'd start Ferguson. Yes, Tampa's defense is looking awesome, but Ferguson is still Brett Favre's #2 WR. GB should be trailing most of the game & I think Ferguson is the only guy who could legitamitley have 5 catches for 80 yards & a TD.

Second starter, Moulds I guess? Close decision over either Parker for me.

Re: Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

I have to pick 1 QB

Culpepper vs New Orleans
Palmer @ Chicago
Trent Green @ Denver

Pick 2 RBs

LT vs NYG
McGahee vs ATL
C. Williams @ GB


Im thinking LT/Williams for my RBs. Im not sure for my QB

Re: Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

Oh maaaaan. Gotta start Eric Parker soooooo badly, Will Allen's toast.

Re: Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

You start LT and Williams, I think. McGahee may have tremendous upside, but Buffalo going to Atlanta is not a great matchup, while Carnell Williams should rip GB's defense apart.

As for QB's, it's either Green or Culpepper. I've still got to start Culpepper, but it's close.

As for my team:
I've got pretty much one dilemma:
Delhomme, who looks pretty bad, against Miami, or Collins against Philly.

I could pick Plummer or Brooks or Griese or a guy off Free Agency.

I really doubt a 5'11" 190lb cornerback will be guarding 6'5" 250lb Tony Gonzalez. Bailey will probably be lining up against Kennison.

Shannahan put Bailey on him last year under the rationale that he's their best WR. Bailey played him well. Don't doubt.

Which WR - Pick 3 of 4
 

Terry Glenn
Michael Clayton
Hines Ward
Plaxico Burress

Re: Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

I believe that the Raiders used Woodson on Gonzo last week, too.

-McGee

Re: Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

You're seriously asking for kicker advice?

I start McGahee over Davis. You saw what Alexander did to Seattle last week, and Miami's done a good job against the rush.

How is Chicago's defense still available? That being said, I like Indy's matchup better this week, so if you're playing waiver wire defense with a new team every week, I stick with the Colts. But you won't go very wrong picking up the Bears, although I wouldn't drop anyone of significance for them.

-McGee

Re: Weak 3, Fantasy Football Decisions?
 

As of today, I'm leaning towards starting both Parkers. Eric is up against a NYG secondary that just let Donte' Stallworth catch 141 yards worth of passes, and while I know that they've been up a lot in both games and therefore faced a lot of passing, they've given up a ton of yards and really looked pretty soft. As for Samie, well, the running game and Gonzo are going to provide good matchups for him all year, and Trent Green has to throw a TD pass some time soon, right?

Mostly, though, it's just a lack of confidence in my other guys. Moulds hasn't done much of anythng this year, and Losman was ineffective in his first start agaist a competent defense. Ferguson is playing that same TB defense, and while Favre is better than Losman and holding Minnesota's passing game in check isn't as big an accomplishment as it once was, I'm not comfortable starting a receiver against the fourth-ranked pass defense unless he is a clearly superior receiver to my other options.

Sorry all. I wasn't aware of that. Most teams have a safety defend against TE's. My bad.
