  • Ask the Geeks: Collecting League Fees

    Matt 9:05 am on 6/30/2010 | 4 Permalink Reply
    Tags: league fees, league management

    Andrew asks:

    Hi, I am trying to set up a FF league with some of my buddies from college. Problem is, we are all located in different places, which makes money collection very difficult. What site do you recommend for our league  so that we could collect the money through a service such as paypal? Thank you for your help.

    There are a number of services out there that offer to help with fee collection, but I’ve never felt compelled to use any of them. Collecting league fees can be a pain no matter how you slice it, but I don’t see how a third-party service will make things so much easier that I’d be willing to pay a fee for their service. If you want to give one a try, take a look at WePay, which launched this spring with some venture capital funding and received a positive writeup in TechCrunch.

    For the keeper league that I commish, I collect via check or PayPal (which no longer charges any fee for personal transactions) and then dump all the money into a secondary savings account that my wife and I have had forever and never touch. This league has been together for a long time, and guys are always pretty good about getting their fees in before the draft with minimal kneecap-bashing on my part. For a new league, you’ll want to make it abundantly clear that there are repercussions for not getting league fees in on time – for example, you could lock down add/drop privileges for anyone who hasn’t yet paid until they do. Just make sure to clearly define those rules ahead of time, and be obnoxious enough about it so that nobody can claim they didn’t know the rules.

      I haven’t used this one yet but there is a site called Leaguesafe.com

      • Lee 8:49 am on 7/06/2010 Permalink Reply

        I did a post on league safe last year or the year before, signed up, but never used it because there wasn’t a seamless way to actually pay for our league service (Myfantasyleague.com) out of the money pool. I think they work with MFL on that now.

        I have always used Paypal.

    • AixelSyd 6:09 pm on 7/09/2010 Permalink Reply

      LeagueSafe has a mechanism that will directly pay MFL leagues. Start from your MFL league, and look through the menus for a link to LeagueSafe. It has an automated process that migrates your league data to LeagueSafe.

      • Dean 1:00 am on 7/15/2010 Permalink Reply

        Problem with league safe is that you can’t use paypal which I think is the easiest way to collect. You have to use e-checks or credit cards.

        I did a quick review of the site on my website http://www.officepoolguy.com. if interested.

  • First fantasy football team of the year and draft results

    Tags: , ,

    As I mentioned previously, last night was my first fantasy football draft of the year, as I traditionally sign up for a Public league as soon as Yahoo opens for sign-ups. Anyways, I just wanted to share the team I ended up with. You’ll notice this league has an interesting twist, as it’s a 12-team league with no Defense or Kicker, but with extra position players. I’ll add some analysis later this evening if I can, but just know that this draft was done with a beer, no cheat sheets and the primary purpose of giving people an idea of how the drafts might go this season…

      WHAT? You drafted Roddy White over the REAL Brand Marshall? HOW?

      Love Steve Smith being drafted immediately after… Steve Smith.

      • Brandon 4:01 pm on 6/23/2010 Permalink Reply

        Hah, had to go with Roddy White due to quarterback concerns in Miami. I guess Chad Henne can throw the long ball, but that’s not always B. Marshall’s specialty.

        However, now that the draft is over and I’m looking at the accumulated points for players in the league according to the scoring rules, it breaks down like this:

        1. Quarterbacks – WAY above the rest of the players. Glad I got two solid starters and one decent one to play in the flex spot!
        2. Receivers that return kicks – Return yardage is HUGE apparently. I just picked up Danny Amendola of the Rams, since he would have scored 130 points last year under these scoring rules, while Roddy White only had 129! Good thing I’m stocked on kick returners like Jacoby Jones, Darren Sproles, Amendola, and Brandon Tate (assuming he returns kicks for NE.)
        3. Running backs and wide receivers not returning kicks
        4. Tight ends

    • e-roc 4:16 pm on 6/23/2010 Permalink Reply

      First of all, I love that it’s Fantasy Football season again.

      Secondarily, nice draft! I probably would’ve gone after another RB instead of Alex Smith in the 10th round… It was interesting to see who were the Top 5 players off the board.. Our league is very QB-point heavy, so Brees arguably will go #1 overall.

      • Brandon 6:51 am on 6/25/2010 Permalink Reply

        e-roc, this league is also VERY quarterback heavy, so I’m actually glad I grabbed Alex Smith before all of the half-way decent QB’s were gone. Just for comparison sake, last year, Smith would have had 232 points, while Chris Johnson would have only had 222! I didn’t realize it was this lopsided until after the draft, so I’m glad I got that third quarterback.

        Don’t worry though, in our normal leagues with “normal” scoring, things might be a bit different :-)

    • Amir 12:50 am on 7/01/2010 Permalink Reply

      Shouldn’t you have drafted QB/QB since QB is so heavy and you start 2 of them?

      • Brandon 4:59 pm on 7/01/2010 Permalink Reply

        In retrospect, maybe that would have been a good idea, but I think I ended up with decent enough options at the QB position along with my Chris Johnson pick. Not that excited to hear Roddy White’s name brought up in the recent Mike Vick drama, but I don’t think he’s being implicated of anything so it should be all good.

        I do like some of the ideas behind this league. Having no kicker and no defense takes a bit of randomness out of the weekly match-ups. Also, having more QB/RB/WR/TE adds more variety between the top-tier players some teams have and the scrubs that other teams roll out. Maybe I can convince my real leagues to consider some of these options this year (hint, hint…Matt?)

    • Squish 9:02 pm on 7/04/2010 Permalink Reply

      Nice to see you guys back in the game again! I’m currently in a tough spot in a keeper league and would appreciate some help. It’s a league where the starting spots are:

      2QB
      3WR
      2 RB
      1 TE
      1W/R
      1 K
      1DEF
      1DB
      1DL

      My problem is that the 3 QBs I ended the season with last year were Warner, Mcnabb, and Alex Smith. Not exactly the best keeper material lol. The big issue is that I have great keepers at a lot of other positions. I can keep five players.

      ATM, the choices are these:

      McNabb
      Vincent Jackson
      Andre Johnson
      Roy Williams
      DeAngelo Williams
      Kevin Smith
      Turner
      Brent Celek
      Owen Daniels
      Jared Allen (DL)

      It seems pretty simple at first glance but the league is setup so that the keepers you take are your first picks. If you take less of them, you get to pick while other guys are taking their keepers. In addition to the 5 regular keepers, you can choose to keep players from the rookie draft. I never use the rookie portion of the draft to grab rookies so I have none of those. Most teams have If I take only 4 keepers and leave Mcnabb out there, I would definitely be able to nab Ryan Matthews. Obviously I’d be way over stacked at RB but I would have a hell of a lot of trade bait to perhaps procure a few top level guys. In addition, most teams already have 2 good QBs and it’s likely I could draft McNabb later in the draft.

      So what I’ve been thinking is:
      1st – Turner (Keeper)
      2nd – AJ (Keeper)
      3rd – DW (Keeper)
      4th – Vjax (Keeper) – (if he decides to play this year)
      5th – Ryan Matthews/Any other good players not kept (Last season I got DeAngelo Williams in the 6th because I was the only team without a rookie keeper)

      Any advice? Should I just play it safe and take McNabb?

    • Ken 10:09 am on 7/13/2010 Permalink Reply

      Hey guys. Can’t wait for this season of FF football. I see Fitz went in the 2nd round for your draft. I was curious to see how far he’d drop without Warner in the picture. Seems like he still has value in most drafts

      I’m joining a keeper league as an expansion team. Myself and two other players are given 3 keeper picks before the draft from the 3 rosters of players who won’t be in the league anymore. I traded my 4th round draft pick for S. Rice. So I have to pick two keepers. The draft snakes and I got my picks back to back

      I’ll be picking Matt Shaub for sure, and then my other viable options are:

      Brett Farve
      Eli Manning
      Ricky Williams
      Ronnie Brown
      Anquan Boldin

      I’m a little torn on my 2nd pick. Keep in mind, minus the rookies, the top 10 RB are already locked up through the keeper system. So I’m leaning towards taking RIcky or Ronnie just to secure myself some sort of decent RB, but to me neither of those guys are actually 2nd or 3rd round material.

      What do you guys think? Should I take the RB, say Ricky? Or should I lock up a very solid backup QB with Eli. Take a risk and grab farve to have two top QBs that I could leverage for a trade down the road. Boldin’s in there but I don’t see much of a point in making him a keeper pick.

      Thanks

    So naturally I had to sign up for a league with a live draft…TONIGHT! The league is named “only the best2″, so the assumption is that I have my work cut out for me. My team name for the year will be Real BrandonMarshall, since Yahoo cuts the name off at 20 characters and Will the real Brandon Marshall please stand up? wouldn’t fit.

    At first glimpse, a few of the changes Yahoo! Fantasy Football has implemented this year include:

    • Message Board update e-mail notifications – Could be useful for leagues with very little trash talk, so you don’t have to constantly check when no one is posting any messages. Might end up being annoying for leagues where there is constant chatter though.
    • Emphasis on Team Slogans – For some reason there’s a whole tab devoted to Team Slogan changes, in case you were someone who enjoys that kind of thing. Currently, I have mine set to “Whoop. There it is.” Quoting the classic Jock Jams tune.

    I’ll attempt to update this list as I navigate the site a bit more, but will definitely have it updated once the draft is over.

    Update: Here’s the draft room. Same as last year if I’m not mistaken…

    After a much-needed break from the fantasy football blogosphere over the offseason, we can’t help but be drawn to all the intriguing noise coming from the NFL this spring. (Shortened preseason schedule? Yes please!) Brandon’s getting married in a month so his time might be a bit limited over the short term, but we’re ready to get this thing going again.

    Brandon and I have been talking about a few changes we’re planning on making this season to make the blog more useful to our readers and fun for us to manage. To us, the best part of running this site is the discussions we have with commenters, so we’re going to continue to improve that aspect of the site as best we can. We’re also going to focus more energy on weekly positional rankings – we get so many Ask the Geeks questions along the lines of, “Who would you start this week, Player A or Player B,” and positional rankings would help answer some of those (but not all of them, of course, given flex positions and wacky scoring systems).

    So anyway… Vince Young FTW.

      I agree about the questions and comments being the best part of this site. I can’t wait to get back into FF mode.

      We’ll see how the season plays out this year. I’m currently in 3 fantasy baseball leagues (my first year playing) and I’m not sure how that will play out with football coinciding for awhile. To make up for it, I’m well into my draft prep. How do you guys feel about Ronnie Brown this year? I think he’s my ray rice for this season.

    In case you’re living under a rock, we just wanted to remind you that the first round of the NFL Draft is tonight, with the second and third rounds on Friday, while the final rounds will be on Saturday. Here’s hoping the Patriots put their 12 draft picks (four in the first two rounds) to good use. There are a lot of holes to fill and the Jets and Dolphins aren’t taking it easy this off-season!

    P.S. I’m still trying to decide how I feel about the Patriots signing Torry Holt. Hopefully he’s not the next Joey Galloway!

    It’s a sad day when a player with your name (you’re obligated to root for him right?) is traded to a division rival of your favorite team :-( There’s no way I will be buying a Brandon Marshall – Miami Dolphins jersey!

    Anyways, I have to think that this move makes Chad Henne a viable fantasy quarterback next season…although it would still be best to have him as a back-up until you see what he’s capable of with a serious wide receiver in the mix. The Broncos passing game is downgraded tremendously unless Eddie Royal can figure out how to play football again. Poor Brady Quinn…just when he thought he might have a chance to succeed.

    Why would the Jets let a fairly-productive Thomas Jones go and then sign LT? Tomlinson has mentioned publicly that he’s OK with being a third-down specialist…something the Jets already have with Leon Washington! Am I missing something here? Thomas Jones could have split carries with a potentially fragile Shonn Greene, while Leon Washington handled third down duties. If they get LT now, they get an aging running back who will split carries with Leon Washington on third down? Please explain.

    P.S. Hello, Patriots? Instead of just watching a bunch of your guys leave in free agency, how about you make some moves to help a team with some serious holes at this point?!

    If Steve Breaston doesn’t get a chance to start somewhere in the NFL next season, it’ll be a shame. He led the team in receiving with 125 yards and was utterly unstoppable in the 4th. His one-armed catch (while a cornerback was getting amorous with his other arm) was just plain nasty. Bob Young of the Arizona Republic thinks the Cardinals might finally be figuring out that they’re at least as good a team without his Boldin’s whiny ass as they are with it.

      • Brandon 8:47 am on 12/31/2009 Permalink Reply

        It sounds pretty crazy, but at quarterback I think your best play is actually Josh Freeman against the Falcons. Last time the Bucs and Falcons played, Freeman threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns, so there’s hope that he can do it again.

        As for your receivers, go with Marques Colston and roll the dice on Aromashodu. It’s hard to bench Larry Fitzgerald, but you won’t know if the Cardinals have anything to play for until the start of their game, so it’s a bit risky.

        At running back, I’d go with Jamaal Charles and Quinton Ganther. The Bengals are already in the playoffs and have little to play for against the Jets, who have a solid run defense AND are playing for a spot in the playoffs.

        At tight end I like Fred Davis against a Chargers team who could be resting their star players on defense a bit early.

        Finally, in the flex spots, go with Donald Brown and Mike Sims-Walker.

      Just one more week…almost there :) I am leading by 70 points and the championship is determined by cumulative scores of last 2 weeks. I doubt the opponent can cover so much, still have to do my best :) :):):):) Alright need your advice on this QB Rivers or Romo? Def : Steelers or 49ers TE: Kellen Winslow or Fred Davis

      • Brandon 8:23 am on 12/31/2009 Permalink Reply

        At quarterback you have to start Tony Romo, who at least has something to play for (playoff seeding.) As for your defense, go with San Francisco against the Rams and then at tight end I’d go with Kellen Winslow against the Falcons. Good luck!

      Leading by 39 points into the 2nd-of-2 week of the final match… thinking about dropping Rodgers for a full-game QB like Orton or Young, what do you think?

      I am also trying to get Olsen (plays DET) to replace Fred Davis (faces SD) in the TE spot… even with their benchers, San Diego is more likely to stop WAS. No Todd Heap because I don’t want another surprise by the Raiders (this is why I’m also keeping the 49ers DEF instead of BAL… St Louis is way scarier with an injured SJax)

      • Brandon 8:28 am on 12/31/2009 Permalink Reply

        I like Kyle Orton against the Chiefs this week, as Rodgers is a bit risky with very little on the line for the Packers besides maybe one seed difference in the playoffs.

          At receiver, go with Bowe, Aromashodu and Meachem. As for your running back question, stick with Thomas Jones, who should have a solid game with the Jets playoff hopes possibly on the line.

      Hearing Donald Brown might not get the bulk of the Colts carries. Should I be looking at other options or wait for more updates?

      • Brandon 10:12 pm on 1/01/2010 Permalink Reply

        From what I’m hearing Donald Brown could be a pretty risky play. Third stringer Mike Hart could see most of the action in the backfield for the Colts this Sunday and he’s worth a shot against a bad Bills run defense.

        At quarterback, go with Brett Favre. For running back, go with Cadillac and Charles. At receiver, go with Fitzgerald and Jennings. Finally, at tight end, go with Jermichael Finley, as there’s worries that Gates will play very much his game.

      Great call on the Falcon’s defense this week. They may have put me over the edge in a league I was hurting at defense.

      In other news, the yahoo scoring change for the week 15 Warner to Boldin pass/lateral put me in a championship game without my even having realized it. My pride made me fight for the 3rd place spot and I just realized today that I more than likely accidentally won a championship lol. Went from a 2 point loss to a 4 point win! Best part: it was my money league! It remains to be seen whether I’ll get the $330 and Titlecraft trophy in winnings (I’ll believe it when I see it), but at the very least it’s nice to walk away with the championship in an ultra competitive league, prize or no.

      Looks to be a 50-50 week this week. Looks like I’ve tied down 4 championships, a second place finish and 2 thirds. Looking like I’ll play for another championship and two more third place finishes next week.

      Just wanted to thank you guys again for all the great help! I thought a lot more deeply about my weekly plays thanks to the great articles you post. Usually you were right, sometimes you were wrong, but in each case I was better off because of your advice. Thanks again!

      P.S. Any chance you guys will be around after the season to answer some keeper questions? I have a 5th place team that I loaded with dropped IR studs. I’ll need some help sorting it out.

    Whether you’re in the finals or the semis this week, now is not the time to remain blindly loyal to the defensive unit that’s taken you this far. It’s certainly tempting to stick with what works, but given that DEF is by far the most opponent-dependent position in fantasy football, it’s more than worth it to check the waiver wire for defenses with juicy matchups.

      Hey guys! First time to your blog and love it! Nothing fancy just great infomation! I am in the championship in my league and need some advice.

      QB- Schaub at Miami or Mcnabb vs Denver

      RB- Barber At washington, Maroney vs Jville, Snelling vs Buffalo, Grant vs Seattle (Pick 2)

      TE- Finley vs Seattle or Witten At Washington

      By the way I am a huge Packers fan and follow the team very closely. I have seen what Brian brohm can do against 2nd and 3rd stringers during preseason. IF he gets the start on the road in the dome at ATL you have to play ATL D. Last week ATL played another inexperienced QB in Sanchez and the Jets and they shut them down! They will dominate Brohm! Only reason he is still in the league is because of what he did his junior year at Louisville! He is horrible, play ATL D and win your championship!!

          I like Jonathan Stewart and Laurence Maroney this week, even after hearing that Fred Taylor will be playing. The weather looks pretty nasty in New England and they could run the ball a lot with Maroney.

          Stewart is really the only one not handcuffed but faces the Giants who play big when it counts. Bell around the goal line for PT? and they may rest PT
          Barber may be a better option

      • Brandon 12:05 pm on 12/27/2009 Permalink Reply

        I like Matt Schaub, Ryan Grant, Jason Snelling, and Jermichael Finley this week. Laurence Maroney is a solid play too, but with Michael Turner out and the bad weather in Green Bay, I just see those two (Snelling and Grant) having a bigger game.

    • Digger 4:46 pm on 12/26/2009 Permalink Reply

      I think Thomas is a good play for you as he has started to get the majority of the carries. I would lean towards Maroney as well!

        Go with Big Ben, who carries less risk and plays arguably a softer pass defense.

        I agree with Tommy on Alex Smith, but at receiver I like Robert Meachem, who should rebound with a touchdown this week as the Saints fight for home field advantage through the playoffs. All of those receivers make solid plays though.

        Keep an eye on Williams, but at this point the ankle doesn’t look good. Fitz is a must-start every week, and Ocho’s got KC so that’s a winner.

      • Matt 9:04 am on 12/24/2009 Permalink Reply

        Those are some ridiculous options. Andre Johnson is the absolute must-start of this group. Even though you’d normally think of Moss as a must-start, I’d bench him in your case because he’s gone five games in a row without a 100-yard performance, that troubling one-catch game was only two weeks ago, and he’s averaged just over three catches per game over the past five.

    • nero 8:05 pm on 12/23/2009 Permalink Reply

      I’m looking pretty good going into the championship game with a healthy team and great matchups to boot while my opponent has some really tough matchups, a key guy that might sit and injury problems.

      Last week I started (we get return yards btw).:

      Rivers
      Moss
      Fitzgerald
      Cribbs
      Rice
      Wells
      Tony Gonzalez
      Saints
      Tynes
      James Harrison (this week I picked up Beason for this slot)

      My opponent has
      McNabb
      Mason
      Cotchery
      DeSean
      Barber
      Harrison (he picked him up this week for Forsett, he’s got Turner out)
      Dallas Clark
      Steelers
      Nugent
      London Fletcher

      My question is related to my RBs. I had been using Pierre Thomas all year long until 2 weeks ago but it’s been effort poorly spent.

      I have been toying around with the idea of starting Wells and Thomas this week to avoid the Steelers run D with Rice but there’s no way to bench him. So Wells or Thomas? Right now I’m leaning heavy towards Wells since hes the man, riding a 2 game TD streak and even the Texans could run on the Rams, plus I expect AZ to get up early.

      • Matt 9:51 am on 12/24/2009 Permalink Reply

        I agree – you’re going with Wells for all the right reasons. This is going to be a rout and the Cards use Wells far more than Hightower in these kinds of games, with last week’s game in Detroit (17 rush, 110 yards and a score) a perfect example of what he can do against a bad opponent. He’s a virtual lock for a nice game, whereas the same certainly can’t be said for Thomas, who hasn’t found the end zone since week 11.

        QB – Which Manning? If it’s Peyton, then go with him. If it’s Eli, then go with Ben.
        WR – Smith. By a mile. Don’t overthink this one.
        DEF – Pats. But check your waiver wire. Are the Falcons or Cowboys available? (See my post on this.)

      this is who I have, who should I start. Some are obvious put I’m still putting my whole line up.

      RB – C. Johnson, Ganther, M. Morris, Jennings, Westbrook
      WR – Austin, Ochocinco, Avery, Burleson, J. Morgan
      DEF – SF or NE

      1QB
      2RB
      2WR
      1WR/RB
      1DEF

        QB – Rivers by a mile, no question.
        RB – CJ + Ganther
        WR – Austin + Ocho (by a mile)
        DEF – 49ers. Again, by a mile.

        These are all straightforward picks, which is great – no second-guessing.

      • Matt 10:05 am on 12/24/2009 Permalink Reply

        I worry about Romo this week – Washington shut him down pretty well earlier in the season, and despite their issues they always show up to play in division games. Smith has Detroit, one of the sweetest matchups for any fantasy QB, and in your shoes I think I’d give him a shot over Romo.

        There’s no way you bench Harrison this week. Absolutely no way, especially given that he’s got another sweet matchup. So go with him, both Jacksons, Rice, and Moss.

      What kills me is that any bozo can make an internet fantasy page. Even the ones that charge typically have incompetent people giving their opinions. Think about this. Buffalo has the #5 pass defense in the NFL for 2009. This week they lost their #1 corner and their all pro safety who has 9 ints. Now, how is it that you can tout the great Buffalo pass defense. THEY’RE NOT PLAYING!!! Do your homework! And their #2 corner is out too! Who’s gonna cover?

      Hey Guys, looking for advice from anyone who would like to share it.

      My RB situation is totally messing with my head.

      Pick 2

      Marion Barber…coming off his best game of the season and up against the pitiful Redskins.
      Jonathan Stewart…if Deangelo is out again this guy seems to dominate. Going up against a decent Giants run D.
      Lawrence Maroney…at home vs. the Jags, he has been my most consistent back over the last few weeks. I also have Brady though, so if the Pats get shut out or limited to FGs then I’m screwed by playing both guys. (I know its unlikely)
      Pierre Thomas…on the best offense in the league, but has really been pretty lousy for the last 4-5 games. No PPR for RBs in in my league, otherwise he’d be a must start. Up against the Bucs worst run D in the NFL.
      And the Sleeper.
      Last weeks mystery stud Michael Bush…I’m not really considering him, but he did have a huge game last week, and this week he plays the god awful Browns.

      Thanks!! Merry Xmas.

      • Brandon 10:05 am on 12/25/2009 Permalink Reply

        I like Holmes and Ochocinco at wide receiver, with Michael Bush over Chambers in the flex spot. The worry with Chambers is that Dwayne Bowe will take over as the top receiver now that he’s back in the swing of things.

        Yahoo apparently loves Donald Driver this week, but I’m going with Derrick Mason, who has a touchdown in two straight games is the uncontested number one receiver in the offense.

    • Greg 3:03 pm on 12/25/2009 Permalink Reply

      Maurice Morris or Brian Westbrook? Normally a no brainer. You can’t predict BW’s touches but I don’t trust backups who have one good game as a fill-in #1. Westbrook is home and Morris is away. Denver has batter D. I’m squarely on the picket fence and it’s not comfortable.

      • Tommy 6:36 pm on 12/25/2009 Permalink Reply

        10000000% Maurice Morris. Westbrook is a complete gamble, and Maurice Morris is guaranteed carries.

          Here’s another one. Chris Chambers or Hakeem Nicks. RE Nicks, I shy away from bad hammies, but I think his projections are rising. Someone knows something! As of now I have Chambers penciled in.

      I’ve got Gonzalez at TE. Finley is available, and I’m looking to find points anywhere I can get them. Thoughts as between the two? Gave up Vernon Davis earlier in the season thinking that I would never justify starting him over Tony G. Don’t want to foolishly overestimate Gonzo again. Your advice is always appreciated.

        I also like Rice, Wells, Colston and Finley, but at receiver I’d go with Donald Driver, who has proven to have more big game potential than Crabtree at this point.

        As for your chances, it should be a pretty good battle, but hopefully Reggie Wayne has a short day and gives you the slight edge. Good luck and feel free to “donate” a bit of those winnings to the FFGeekBlog cause!

        Wow, that’s a tough (but good) decision to have to make. Last time the Saints played Tampa Bay, he didn’t rack up all that much yardage, but he still managed three touchdowns. I’m guessing this week he throws for some solid yards and again gets the touchdowns as well as his team fights to clinch home field advantage in the playoffs. Go with Brees.

        • Tommy 6:47 pm on 12/22/2009 Permalink

          My bad, pick *3* WRs

        • Brandon 9:33 am on 12/25/2009 Permalink

          At quarterback, I think you have to go with Jay Cutler (even if he’s been pretty scary this season.) The Vikings haven’t been all that great lately against the pass, giving up three touchdowns to both Kurt Warner and Matt Moore in the past three weeks.

          At running back, I like MJD, Charles, Bradshaw (hope he gets a touchdown or two again) and Jerome Harrison, although he’s risky and there’s no way he’s having a week like he did last Sunday.

          At receiver, go with Vincent Jackson, Chris Chambers (although you could easily put Bowe in here instead) and take the gamble on Justin Gage.

          As for Brees, I’m sure he’ll play most of the game. The team wants to erase the memory of that loss and there’s no way they’ll let themselves limp into the playoffs with two or three losses in the last three weeks of the season.

        • Brandon 11:53 pm on 12/26/2009 Permalink

          Wow Justin Gage…nice game! Hopefully you ignored my advice on that one, but otherwise, hopefully the other guys step it up.

          I started Moore at QB.

          Started MJD, Charles, Harrison, and Bradshaw at RB…
          and Jackson, Chambers, and Gage at WR.

    Here are our waiver wire candidates for week 16. As usual, you’ll find players who are either [Startable], a [Stopgap] to get you past a BYE or injury, [Worth a look] and spot on your bench, or [One-week-wonder]s who don’t warrant a roster spot, so you make your roster moves accordingly. You’ll also see the percent owned in parenthesis. With your league championship in sight, I’ve simplified the list a bit this week, as I figure there is a lot less competition for the top waiver wire players this week. If you have any additional questions though, please feel free to ask away and I’ll try to get them before the end of the day so you can finalize your roster as soon as possible. Good luck!

      • Brandon 3:59 pm on 12/22/2009 Permalink Reply

        Even though he plays a tough Bengals run defense, I think you have to go with Jamaal Charles in the running back spot, as he’s been on fire lately. In the flex spot, I’d go with Sidney Rice, who should put up big numbers on national television (Monday night) against the Bears. As for your defense, I like the Saints at home against Tampa Bay, a team that features a quarterback who single-handedly has 9 turnovers in the past three games.

        I’d start Jamaal Charles based on his consistency. I’ll take two straight 140+ yard and a touchdown games over Harrison’s last two (9 yards, then 286 yards/3 TD) even if Charles has a tougher match-up.

      RB (2) : Sjax @Ari, Wells vs StL, Charles @ KC, Forsett @GB, F Jackson @ Atl
      Have SJax (struggling lately….) and Wells (good matchup) for now, Charles helped get me here but matchup not great @ Cin. Harrison available but too risky, I think.

      WR (2): Austin @ Was, Welker vs Jac, Ocho vs KC, SmithNYG vs Car, Sims-Walker @ NE
      Austin, and Welker (won last week despite him, Brady still seems banged up) for now. The others may rock….or not.

      TE: F Davis, J Finley, Shianco or Witten — I think one of the first two, not sure which one.
      D/ST: Have GB in there per your advice, in case you’re having second thoughts: ARI, Cin, Dal, Bal available
      K (it’s the money game, kickers count…..I need some FGs!): Hartley, Cundiff, Stover, Scobee, Feely, K Brown, Rackers, Mare.

      Thanks for your advice, hope to take the title this weekend. Will be checking in from 5000 miles away assuming my bro-in-law’s internet connection stays strong this week.

        Hey TJ, you got some tough decisions at running back, but I can’t argue with Steven Jackson and Beanie Wells. At wide receiver, stick with Welker and Austin, but Ochocinco could also be primed for a solid game. At tight end, I’m not sure how you ended up with all those guys, but roll the dice on Finley, who has the most potential this week out of the crew. At defense, Arizona makes an enticing play and is probably worth a start, especially if Keith Null starts for the Rams again. Finally, at kicker, it’s always a crapshoot, but I like Garrett Hartley. Good luck!

        • TJ 9:21 am on 12/26/2009 Permalink

      Would you start Ganther, Harrison or Morris over Addai as RB#2? How about any of them in the flex spot? My WRs are Randy Moss, SS (NYG), Sid Rice, Meachem and Britt.

      • Brandon 9:44 am on 12/25/2009 Permalink Reply

        I would start Jerome Harrison over Addai, just because there is risk that Addai could be benched after a bit to keep him healthy for the playoffs. As for your flex spot, the only change I might consider is Maurice Morris over Kenny Britt.

    • aker 11:24 am on 12/23/2009 Permalink Reply

      You were right that Ganther wasn’t a no-brainer over Bradshaw in MNF. I managed to squeak into the championship game. I have the same dilemma this week, but I’ve added Harrison to the mix. (It should be obvious that I’ve had RB issues all season.) I’m now struggling between Bradshaw who has had back to back strong performances, and the one hit wonder up against Oakland. I think it’s safe to take Ganther off the table as between these three given the matchups?

      • Brandon 9:41 am on 12/25/2009 Permalink Reply

        I know it’s hard to sit Harrison after that insane game last week, but I’d go with Bradshaw this week. He’s got a decent match-up with the Panthers and has been getting the carries in the red zone lately. Good luck!

      I don’t know what to do. I have a Flex play. Not sure to use Meachem or Maurice Morris. All the research have them really close on the rankings. First time ever I’m in the Finals.

        Actually. here is what i have in general. people are saying Palmer sucks, and that Wayne is going to be rested…now i’m even more super confused. lol.

        QB : Carson Palmer / Garrard
        2 RB : Chris Johnson / Barber / Maurice Morris
        TE : Vernon Davis
        2 WR : Reggie Wayne / Desean Jackson / Meachem
        1 FLEX : Morris or Meachem? would you substitute Meachem for Wayne if he is resting?

      I’ve got an RB problem not a lack of RB but a who to bank on for the chamionship? In my league we have 2 RB spots and @ flex spots
      i’ve got Rice, Barber, Beanie Wells, Jerome Harrison, Jerious Norwood(who i’d rather not play), and DeAngelo Williams is doubtful but i’ve got Jonathan Stweart too. the rest of my squad is set it’s just those spots i’m qustioning myself on.

        Here’s the order as I see it:
        1-Wells
        2-Harrison
        3-Rice (vs pit or he’d be higher)
        4-Stewart (vs NYG)
        5-Barber (F Jones)

      Try managing these WK 16 STUDS: 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flx. (stndrd without 100 yard bonus’)
      Beanie Wells -ST
      M Bell -ST
      Jones Drew -FLX
      Ahmad Bradshaw -BNCH
      M Bush – BNCH

      Driver – ST
      Colston – ST
      Wayne – BNCH ;(
      S Smith NYG – BNCH
      J Morgan – BNCH

        I’m leaning towards Bradshaw over Bell,
        What do you think guys?

    Here is the fantasy football “Team of the Week,” listing the players that scored the most points (using standard scoring) over the course of Sunday’s games. This week you’ll notice a few oddities about the list, the first being the existence of two quarterbacks, both who kicked some serious behind and who couldn’t be left off the list. The second is the existence of Jerome Harrison, who rushed for an insane 286 yards (the third highest single game rushing total of all time!) Anyways, with the Monday Night Football game yet to take place (New York Giants @ Washington Redskins) this list may be a bit premature, but here is your team of the week nonetheless…

    Pos.

    Player

    Stats
    QB-A Ben Roethlisberger (PIT) 503 passing yards, 7 rushing yards, 3 TD
    QB-B Aaron Rodgers (GB) 383 passing yards, 22 rushing yards, 3 TD, 2-pt conversion
    RB Jerome Harrison (CLE) 286 (!!!) rushing yards, 12 receiving yards, 3 TD
    RB Maurice Jones-Drew (JAX) 110 rushing yards, 30 receiving yards, 2 TD
    WR Vincent Jackson (SD) 108 receiving yards, 2 TD
    WR Steve Smith (CAR) 157 receiving yards, -6 rushing yards, 1 TD
    WR DeSean Jackson (PHI) 140 receiving yards, 9 rushing yards, 1 TD
    TE Dallas Clark (IND) 95 receiving yards, 2 TD
    K Matt Prater (DEN) Kicks – 20-29 (2), 30-39 (0), 40-49 (1), 50+ (1), PAT (1)
    DEF Baltimore 7 points allowed, 2 sack, 4 interceptions, 2 fumble recoveries

      By the way, anyone else find it interesting that A) the Browns scored 41 points AND B) that Brady Quinn threw for just 66 yards when the Browns scored 41 points? I guess it helps when you have Joshua Cribbs scoring 14 points on his own.

      • Brandon 4:17 pm on 12/21/2009 Permalink Reply

        Also, how did Andre Johnson catch nine passes for 196 yards and NOT score at least one touchdown?!

        • Squish 6:03 pm on 12/21/2009 Permalink

          Cribbs for 14 points? Ha! I had him on the bench in a return yard league. Goodbye 26 points :(

          As it stands I have a 5 point buffer in that league with Nicks remaining. My opponent has Fred Davis. Let’s just say I’m not comfortable with the 5 point lead.

          Another league sees me down by 4 with Tynes left so i should pull that one off. Even with those two wins I’ll still only be 4-3 this week :( It was a bad week to have my top players all flop. Let’s just say that a team with DeAngelo Williams and Michael turner was about equal to a week 15 loss…

          Hope you guys did well! Great call on Cribbs!

      I gave away my spot in the Championship game by failing to start Steve Smith. *waves goodbye to 2009 season*

      Makes for a ridiculously depressing Monday.

      • Brandon 9:03 am on 12/21/2009 Permalink Reply

        In my league, I started Steve Smith (and still have Fred Davis left), but that’s not enough when you start the Sunday night game down over 60 points!

        • e-roc 9:06 am on 12/21/2009 Permalink

          Ouch… The $$$ would have come in extremely handy…

          Side note: I am in the leader of my league is most points left on the bench (i.e. “The Worst GM”).

        • Brandon 9:19 am on 12/21/2009 Permalink

          The only real points I left on the bench were Mike Wallace and Joe Flacco (I started Schaub), so I can’t really complain. Reggie Bush (my flex spot) getting hurt after a long run was pretty annoying though!

        • Squish 6:06 pm on 12/21/2009 Permalink

          Having Fred Davis while being down 60 points is better than having Lawrence Tynes in the same scenario :(

          Anybody else play against an inordinate amount of teams with Rodgers and/or Manning this week?

          In Rapdidraft I had to choose between Henderson, Coles and Wallace. I chose Henderson. I suck.

    • Tommy 10:42 am on 12/21/2009 Permalink Reply

      I made some bad mistakes… started Arian Foster over Bradshaw and Harrison and Cutler over Matt Moore, still going to win though (down 1 point with Devin Thomas, Quinton Ganther, and Fred Davis going tonight, he doesn’t have anyone)

      • Brandon 11:10 am on 12/21/2009 Permalink Reply

        That’s a lot of eggs in the Washington Redskins basket…but I think they can manage between 1 and 2 points between those three guys, hah

        • Tommy 11:11 am on 12/21/2009 Permalink

          We can hope, lol

        • Pilchard 1:00 pm on 12/21/2009 Permalink

          unfortunately i dont think u will prevail
