Fantasy Football Done Weekly - 2009 Week 8 NFL Season

[phillymick2011]

would you trade LT and Jeremy Shockey for Ricky Williams and Kellen Winslow???

[FFDoneWeekly]

No. Even though Ricky & Winslow appear to be working, I wouldn't make that trade because you would be giving up two good players in good/great offenses...and I wouldn't trust Winslow for consistent production with the rookie coming in.

[FFDoneWeekly]

Sorry kids...we really need you to get your lineup questions in BEFORE Sunday. We both have wives that require our attention in the morning before we are worthless pieces of human flesh come game-time. :)

[th3f4th1ippo]

Also Dallas or Baltimore

[th3f4th1ippo]

Moreno or sproles. Calvin Johnson or Braylon Edwards? I'd Calvin Johnson healthy enough?

[th3f4th1ippo]

Moreno or

great job just joined!

Another solid show fellas.

J. Knox or M. Crabtree @ WR

P. Thomas or T. Hightower @ RB

Enjoy the weekly wisdom.

[FFDoneWeekly]

Knox is #3-4 option and I would say Crabtree is the same (Maybe #3). Cutler's clearly the better QB. If you need 6-10 pts go with Knox. Check your opponents lineup and if 2 pts will still get you a win, or if you think you don't have much of a shot of winning and need to swing for a homerun...go with Crabtree, because I think he has more upside than Knox.

Good luck and kick some ass!

[FFDoneWeekly]

...as far as Thomas & Hightower goes...they are almost too close to call. Here's where I'm at...P.T. in a non PPR league and Hightower in a PPR league. Easy peasie!

hey guys i was wondering if maybe you guys can bring up this question on next weeks show or just talk about it. if u can thanks.

Question: With Anthony Gonzalez coming back from his injury what should we expect from him in his return, And is he worth picking up?

[yankees9073]

thanks for your advice. yeah there is nothing on the wire really, and ocho has a bye this week and cotchery would be a solid start if it wasn't for the injury. but im holding on to Williams just in case he does start catching the ball again with the attention on austin. thanks and keep up the good work guys!

[yankees9073]

and its a point per reception league.

[FFDoneWeekly]

Now that's an ugly combo this week! :)

I really don't like either one this week, but gun to my head - here's what I think:

I hate hamstring injuries, especially when the player has already missed time and Sanchez has only completed 31 passes in his last 3 games combined. Romo has twice the completions. Perhaps the attention Austin may be receiving may even benefit Williams. I can't believe I'm advocating Roy here, but I think he's the safer choice over Cotchery.

[yankees9073]

good show guys so i have a question. who would u rather start for your number 3 WR? Jerricho Cotchery or Roy E. Williams? and remember Cotchery is battling a hamstring injury witch could effect hs play and Williams just hasnt played well lately. who do u guys think i should go with?

[Grizzlers]

Another good show guys. I gotta decide between Slaton and K. Smith. Slatons fumble problems against a ballhawking D worries me. I think it got him benched late last week. Which would you guys take?? (Basic scoring league, little yardage) I did think the comment about the Redskins D being terrible was a little uneducated, unless you're DeSean Jackson. Gave you guys 5 stars.

[FFDoneWeekly]

Hey Grizzlers, thanks for the ? & Comment. I think K. Smith has a much better chance for a score in this one (against the Ram, yum!), though Slaton has been getting it done lately and does have a great matchup also. My feeling is that if Slaton keeps fumbling - he IS going to lose carries. This week, I think they are both good plays. If Stafford AND CJ plays this week I would lean toward Smith...if not, then Slaton...see next response on Skins D comment (Ran out of room)...

[FFDoneWeekly]

I give the Redskins D sh*t because they have way too much talent to be this bad for fantasy purposes (I admit-they're not bad for NFL purposes). Plus, I don't give them much credit for last week against Philly, because I don't think they played all that great...I think Philly played that bad. In a standard scoring league, the Skins have not racked up more than 7 pts...yuk! I'm sorry you don't agree or think we're a bit uneducated...but hey - that's the beauty of America! :) U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

[Jtundra10]

No its not a PPR league. Yeah I'm 5-2 with all intentions of going to the playoffs in that league so I am trying to prepare. I've been holding Crabtree for the past 3 weeks lol. Hoping he will start to produce in San Fran because their last 4 games are cake. Anyways thanks for the insight and I'll see you guys next week.

[Jtundra10]

Lol and I try to swing for the fences every week. I'm sure we all do though

[FFDoneWeekly]

Of course when I say "swing for the fences" it means you have room for a strikout or you can't win with "average" points. LOL Baseball analygies for Fantasy Football. As you can see, I really enjoy cracking myself up.

[Jtundra10]

I absolutely agree with what your saying. Just Donovan throw something like 200 yards the last two times he has played NYG makes me feel a little uneasy about DeSean. I made the poor choice of starting Steve Smith (NYG) over Jackson last week and he made me pay for it. I just don't want that to happen again. I guess I could also see what your opinion is about C Johnson in Tennessee. I've had too many people trying to take Johnson off my hands. Do you feel with Young at QB Johnson with flourish?

[FFDoneWeekly]

I hear ya. Is this a PPR league? (Typically helpful information). As far as C.J. goes...I have mixed feelings on him. First off, he's a stud and can take it to the house each time he touches the ball...and for them to win, they NEED to rely on their running game with him as the centerpoint. Unless you're getting AP, S-Jax, MJD or maybe even Thomas Jones (if you looking for RB for RB), I wouldn't even consider it. Not even for Forte. If you can get to the playoffs. He has 2 GREAT matchups.

[Jtundra10]

Or Pierre Thomas. Forgot about him.

[FFDoneWeekly]

I ran out of characters on my last response...So:

Even though we don't think McNabb is a good play, Jackson has become too good to sit and his foot issue is no worse than it was before last weeks game. I know he's put up two stinkers - but he's just too talented unless you have other great options. Nicks is a high upside guy. Still a committee in NY and I think they're going to rely on the running game more to protect Manning. Look at your opponents roster, see if you have room for a...

[FFDoneWeekly]

...swing and a miss and can still pull out a win. Or if your opponent is "stacked" and you need to swing for the fences to win. I hope this makes sense, let me know if you need further info.

Thanks!

[Jtundra10]

Quick question how do you feel about DeSean Jackson this week? I'm torn on starting him or starting Hakeem NIcks or the rising Beanie Wells. Wasn't a big fan of the show week 1 but you guys are growing on me. Maybe it's because I'm a die hard Packer fan :).

[FFDoneWeekly]

First - let me state that I am not a Vikings Fan - from small boy, I have been a Raiders fan - although it has grown increasingly difficult for, a...decade or two. I am, however, a fan of fantasy players and the Vikings (& the Packers) have been fun to watch (I don't even watch the Raiders anymore). OK - on to your ? I would rank them in this order Jackson/Nicks/Wells/Thomas. Jackons a stud. Nicks is lucky. Wells is ABOUT to emerge and I don't trust the NO running game...in a nutshell.-hc

[andiesoxfan]

Matt Ryan Or Jay Cutler in week 8 and why?

Thanks

Andrea

[FFDoneWeekly]

OK...so you're probably thinking "It's Matt Ryan. On Monday Night. With what should feature three quarters of garbage time production (GTP), and I can't really blame you there. But Cutler won't be facing much of a pass rush and when that happens, TD's happens (and not INTs). The Saints D is FOR REAL and Ryan hasn't been playing well (one game over 250 yds). Do you think he's nervous going to New Orleans to face Brees. Yeah, me too. (Remember, I have a character count to stay within...LOL)

[andiesoxfan]

Actually I agree, Even though Cutler let me down last week...lol

Thanks for the reinforcement!!!

[doogansx5]

awesome!

awesome show guys go bears!

[FFDoneWeekly]

Thanks doogansx5! I guess I can't tell Mattmeister13 that he's awesome and not tell you the same thing...We think you're pretty awesome yourself for viewing, enjoying, subscribing AND posting positive feedback. Love it!

[Mattmeister13]

You guys are awesome!

[FFDoneWeekly]

Thanks Mattmeister13...we think you're pretty awesome yourself for viewing, enjoying and subscribing!!!

[monkeywithchainsaw1]

Good job this week guys. I picked up Shon Greene this week just because of Wells not being available in my league.

[FFDoneWeekly]

Thanks Monkey! Good pickup...but you may have to be patient.

[monkeywithchainsaw1]

Yea i know. Again good job

[FFDoneWeekly]

It was between Greene & Wells this week for our Sleeper, but Wells has a better shot at a full time gig. Don't get me wrong, I like Greene, but let's face it...Washington is/was very talented...but he was frustrating for fantasy purposes behind T. Jones. Now if Jones goes does...you have a possible fully fledged stud on your roster.

[FFDoneWeekly]

Take a look at your scoring system...If you get a lot of points for no yards and no points, you may want to consider SD. If your points are based solely on INT's, FF, Sacks, TD's...I'd go with NO. Wait let me rephrase that...I AM going with New Orleans this week (hc).
