With the weather absolutely terrible here in the Northeast, I figured it was a good time to answer some of the Ask the Geeks questions that have come in over the past few days. We’ll most likely get one more post up before game time tomorrow, so if you have any last minute questions, make sure to get them in here or leave them as comments on this post!
Also, make sure to leave your feedback on our commenting system here at FFGeekBlog.com so we can figure out if we need to revise the system or not. Anyways, let’s get to the questions…

Brent Celek @SD

Carlson @Ari
Shiancoe @DetThey’ve all been inconsistent.. who hits the mark with a good matchup.

Hey, guys! Would you trade your Christopher Johnson OR Ronald Brown for a Matthew Forte/Tony Gonzalez package?
My other tight end is Gregory Olsen and my accessory RBs are Bradshaw, Greene, Charles, Moats, and Bell.
Thank you in advance!

I definitely wouldn’t trade Chris Johnson for Forte + Gonzo in any case, and I don’t really like the Ronnie Brown trade either given Forte’s upcoming schedule – two games against the Vikings, plus the Ravens and Eagles. Pretty tough sledding.
Greg Olsen should be more than adequate at TE – despite Cutler’s struggles (or because of them?), Olsen appears to have finally hit his stride.

Agreed. Stand pat. Olsen should be solid the rest of the year.

Really struggling in deciding my Jacobs replacement RB, HELP PLEASE! It’s a MUST WIN week.
Betts (vs DEN)
C Williams (vs MIA)
Fargas/Bush/McFadden (vs KC)
Buckhalter (vs WAS)
Bell (vs STL)
Sproles (vs PHI)

I think you have to go with Betts this week. The rest of those backs are all in committees and Betts will be too but with how poor their passing game is, he’ll get plenty of touches. So I’d definitely go with him. He’s questionable right now for his game so keep an eye on that. If it turns out he doesn’t play, go ahead and play Fargas since he’ll still have a large role on the first week of McFaddens’s return and has a good matchup.
You’ll be more successful if you consider every week a must win week

thanks Squish, I’ll slot in Betts for now and wake up early just before kick off (as am an Aussie) and if Betts is still looking injured I’ll drop him and pick up Fargas

Would Shonn Greene change this equation at all?

Hey, guys! I’m in desperate need of a flex this week: Charles, Avery, Greene, or Bell?
You guys are the best!

Jamaal Charles is likely to get the most attempts out of that group and has a great match-up against the Raiders. Shonn Greene is my second choice though and is the higher risk/higher reward play.

Guys,
Mendenhall or Steven Jackson? I’m leaning towards Mendenhall because I’m thinking the NO game will be a blow-out early and they will not be using the running game all that much. What do you think?
Brandon 11:33 am on 11/15/2009 Permalink
I’d still go with Steven Jackson. Mendenhall has a tough match-up with the Bengals and Roethlisberger will most likely take matters into his hands for a majority of the game. You know the Rams are going to get the ball to their only offensive weapon a ton of times (at least early in the game.)

Hi Guys-
PPR league. Looking to play my best RB2. I have:
Maroney, Betts, LT, D. Brown.
I’m leaning toward Maroney…
Thoughts?
Brandon 1:12 pm on 11/15/2009 Permalink
I agree. Go with Maroney

Looking at a trade, Robert Meachem for Holmes, and Reggie Bush for Kevin Smith? would you consider either one? thanks
Brandon 11:59 am on 11/17/2009 Permalink
I like Holmes and Bush, so feel free to trade away Meachem, but keep Reggie.
