Friday Fantasy Football Forum - FFFF Week 11 + NFL Game Picks

[235basketball]

FFFF is the sound you make when you picked up Kevin Smith but started Brandon Jacobs over him...

[235basketball]

Is DeSean Jackson worth a start this week? I think I'm going to need to flex a recover this week because of running back byes or injuries. I have Bowe, Brandon Marshall and Earl Bennett.

[mtgxerxes]

@235basketball Uhh... well its tough. Those Philly guys seem to be complete hit or miss, and we don't even know who their QB is going to be. Yet, Earl Bennet doesn't exactly bring joy to the hopes of lots of points either.

But I suppose 3 points is better than 0? But having a chance for 10 points is nice too.

Look at your opponent, do you feel more in need of a "sure" few points or do you need to score a ton? I suppose Bennet could always bring home a score too.... maybe just lean him.

[TheJaybird16]

With one slot open who do I start? Anquan Boldin vs Bengals, Victor Cruz vs Eagles, Dez Byrant vs Redskins.

[mtgxerxes]

@TheJaybird16 I'd prolly go Dez.

[Kizzle274]

Between Laurent Robinson, Earl Bennett and Sidney Rice. which 2 should i start?

[mtgxerxes]

@Kizzle274 Robinson, and then the other........ ick. Thats just a coinflip there, no way to predict or expect anything noteworthy from them, so just go with what you feel is a better matchup or the one you've been starting prior to this week.

[235basketball]

Timmy Tebow with another comeback

[mtgxerxes]

@235basketball Its rather awesome. I'm not a fan of the media explosion he brings, but its just hilarious that he keeps winning games and people are like "wtf how?"

[dollabill1323]

you sleepin' on my Broncos homie haha

[PurityOfEvil24]

Being a fan of you since 2007 Xerxes, it kills me that you never choose the Jags to win. D: Lol.

[Dario8676]

Hahaha nice added comedy into your picks this week. I'll tell you what if that Seattle Rams game actually ends in a tie, I will personally make a video giving you mad props for that one. I think your Lions should pull it off this week finally, and i'm a bit scared with my Giants. Giants have had to make come from behind to win this year in 5 games, ridiculous.. Giants just really aren't that good and this is coming from a fan of theirs.

[mtgxerxes]

@Dario8676 Lol if that tie actually happens, I'm calling ESPN and being like "I predicted it and I got proof. Gimmie a guest appearance on First Take, Sports Nation, Around the Horn, something...."

[235basketball]

I'm done this week. Foster on bye Hillis out again and Bradshaw out. I need my WRs and Brady to have a monster week which is possible with the match ups but it doesn't look good

[TheReginoGuillen]

boldin or marshall?

[mtgxerxes]

@TheReginoGuillen I personally like Marshall more.

[malkinroty2007]

I have a 3 - 7 team absolutely crushing that 8 - 2 guy in points.. -_-

Roddy White, Dwayne Bowe or Anquan Boldin? I need 2.

[aquateenz]

the league is too deep im already starting chris obognnaya. pretty sure i butchered his name at flex. i dont trust roy helu nor daniel thomas. ball rushed 30 times last week, week before willis had 29 rushes for 164. denever averaging 246 rush yards last three games even if tebow is there number running threat the amount of rushes is there

[aquateenz]

willis is a game time decision i picked up lance ball just in case. i figured denver rushes pretty much 100 percent of the time, so i gotta go with one. im super thin at rb due to some acl tears so right now my options are limited.

[mtgxerxes]

@aquateenz I guess you can head with Ball then..... it just sounds really bad.

Tebow is really their #1 RB, so you can't expect much. ANYTHING on waivers?

[moomoocowman13]

with brees jimmy graham and wallace on byes, im expecting to lose this week unless the bills do great in the passing game, anyways i have lions def but looking at the schedule ehh, so should i stick with them or just swap out defenses every week,

but in my other league romo or eli? and laurent robinson, victor cruz or steve johnson

[mtgxerxes]

@moomoocowman13 I dropped Lions D after the SF game. I wanted to keep them vs Broncos but couldn't afford the spot at the time. Their schedule is not helpful, and they're a weaker team now than they were out of the gate. I doubt you could trade a defense... but might be worth a look? Otherwise... prolly best to hop on the bandwagon of alternating defenses.

[TheBatmanAteYourSoul]

This one was hilarious.

Also I was worried about the Lions being a major threat to the Falcons going to the playoffs, so its interesting seeing a fan of theirs saying they won't make it.

[mtgxerxes]

@TheBatmanAteYourSoul Oh we're always skeptical up here. Its the LIONS. Nobody knows how much they truly suck except us lol. We know nothing good will happen!

Next year though..... I can start to take us seriously. Leshoure will help big time, Fairley with another year will help, Titus Young with another year will help, should be fun.

[TheBatmanAteYourSoul]

@mtgxerxes Considering the Lions are doing pretty well this season, I wouldn't count them out. They have some pretty easy games coming up (excluding the obvious destruction the Packers leave where they go, and the Saints). I'm expecting at least a positive win/loss ration this season.

[mtgxerxes]

@TheBatmanAteYourSoul Easy schedule? Discounting the Panthers we play this week... Week 12-17 includes two Packers games, Saints, Raiders, and Chargers in there... fighting for playoff spots. That leaves us with the Vikings remaining, divisional games are always hard and AP is always a beast....

Maybe you don't think the Raiders or Chargers are any good.... but they're solid and division-title hunting.

[TheBatmanAteYourSoul]

@mtgxerxes Well Yeah, that's why I said excluding the Saints and Packers lol. You're just doubting them so hardcore because of their track record and it's your home team. If or When the Falcons get into the playoffs, I'm going to have my money on them losing their first game. God knows I didn't expect them to have the season they had last year, but when they went into the playoffs I called a Packers' Super bowl.

[aquateenz]

lance ball or willis mcgehee?

[mtgxerxes]

@aquateenz Ick, neither. I didn't even realize McGahee was playing.

I suppose if you MUST pick one of them, can't find another flex/RB somewhere..... McGahee is prolly the better guy to go with? I'm not sure on his health... but I wouldn't expect more than 5 points from either one outside of random fluke TD which is impossible to predict.
