Studs and Duds: Week 11

Even though there were some sabotage attempts on the Studs/Duds predictions last week, I was able to escape the week with a better success than failure rate again. While expected to excel, Priest Holmes and Antonio Gates fell flat on their faces, while Maurice Jones-Drew, Ryan Grant and Derek Anderson went on personal vendetta's to prove that my "dud" designations were a load of crap. However, there were some silver linings...the Steelers passing game rolled, as did Brett Favre and Cedric Benson (!!! Well, he did great considering that he is Cedric Benson). As expected, Rudi Johnson was terrible and Philip Rivers attempted to earn me some brownie points for playing so horrendously that being categorized as a "dud" was an understatement. This week I promise to be a bit stronger with my predictions, so here we go...

Ask the Geeks: Week 11

Andrew asks: I have an opportunity to pick up 2 WR that I think might be good FA acquisitions, but like any good patient I want a second opinion. I am looking at Reggie Brown of PHI @ MIA or I could pick up Drew Bennett of STL @ SF...I play 3 WR in a 12 team league and I already have Hines Ward and T.O. Who do you think I should pick up... I have an open spot so I will not drop any players.

Brandon's take: This is a tough one, as they're both playing pretty bad defenses. However, I'd definitely say that Reggie Brown has the most upside, as he's always capable of catching a deep bomb from McNabb (in his last two games he's caught 45 yard passes). Bennett just hasn't proven to be a viable fantasy source this season, mostly due to quarterback issues and his own injuries, so go with Reggie Brown.

  • Sell High, Buy Low: Trade ideas for Week 6 2008:
    • Tim: Just reading this post now and Matt you mentioned my 2 RBs (Jacobs and LT). This is a deeper league (14 teams) where some teams have gaping wholes to fill and my team just so happens to need some quality WR. I agree Turner is emerging into a top 5 monster back, but I'm...
    • Matt: If he's going to give you Turner for Jacobs, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Turner's an elite RB so far and I see no reason to believe he won't finish in the top 5 overall at the position. Jacobs' carries in the past three games: 15, 14, 15. Chances are, that's what the Giants...
    • Ali: sorry didn't give you the full picture. I have Addai, Jacobs, Forte, Fargas, McClain, and Sproles. I have a guy who might be open to pulling the trigger on Jacobs for Turner, would you do it? or would you rather go with Jacobs for Jackson? thanks guys!
    • Brandon: @Ali: You might try to pawn Jacobs for Steven Jackson at this point. While Jackson was probably taken a round ahead of Jacobs in the draft, Jackson only has one touchdown this year and is underperforming. He's gotten plenty of carries over the past two games though and is used in the passing game too...
    • Matt: There's no way you'd get Turner for Jacobs. Are you sure you want to trade Jacobs when you only have two other RB?
    • Ali: I have Jacobs and I would like to trade him. What do you think about a trade for Turner? He gets more carries than Jacobs. If not turner what other RBs do you think I could get for Jacobs at his level? My other RBs are Forte and Addai
  • Desperation is a Stinky Cologne: Extreme Sleepers for Week 6 2008:
    • SM: Chris Felon Henry.
  • What's with the green dot on QB helmets?:
    • Anonymous: defence capt also has green dot ( # 51 leber -minisota vickings) so not iust qb have one . also you might mean only one player from each team can have a green dot
