Around SBN: Kentucky Football: Tee Martin Reportedly Leaving for USC

Fantasy Chalk Talk...

I'm just going to go down my roster, not in the draft order, but feel free to offer comments criticisms, etc.

QB Hasselback, Bledsoe
RB Portis, Edge, C. Dillion, C. Taylor
WR D. Mason, D. Jackson, J. Porter
TE Cooley
K  N. Rackers
DF Washington

A 'Skins heavy draft, mostly by accident.  I have Bledsoe, Portis, and Porter on the bench week one.  I'm more scared of Porter's injury than Mason's and I'm pretty sure Portis will be sitting.  Bledsoe has Jax while Hasselback has Det.  Pretty easy call there.

I've got my Cig and Blindfold.  Let me have it.

nice running backs
but you might want to trade one for a better reciever.  i like your TE (obviously), and kicker alot.

i'm no fantasy expert.




but i did stay at a holiday inn express last night.

Haha...
That was my last pick overall...

And best available...

And I still hate myself for it.

What pick did you have?
Not a bad gig getting Edge and Portis. Your RBs are fairly money. Your receivers on the other hand...

I got Cooley in both my drafts.

NERDS!
Ha ha, just kidding.






Well, mostly.

I'm actually on a
3 year plan right now to ween myself from Fantasy Football. Next year I'm only going to play in one, and the following year I'll try unsuccessfully to quit. Hopefully by year three I will have put it behind me.

I love/hate Fantasy Football.

Last Pick...
So I came back with Edge to start the second round.

I like Mason as a pick.  Jackson's a strong #2.  I kinda got stuck with Porter.

It's a 2RB,2WR,1W/R set up, so I'm kinda playing to my strengths and playing another RB.

I might try to get another solid WR, but for now I'm sticking with it.

As for week 1...
I'm going up against:

QB P. Manning (Backup's injured Rothlisberger)
RB W. Dunn, F. Gore, R. Brown (Mia)
WR R. Moss, L. Evens, R. Brown (Phi), Ro. Williams
TE B. Watson (your old friend)
K D. Akers
DE Indy

She, (yes, she) hasn't posted her starters yet.  I'm guessing Moss and R. Brown (up against Hou's secondary) at WR.

RB's a lot harder.  I'd start Gore (@ Ari) and it's a toss up between Dunn (@Car) and Brown (@Pit) for the second spot.

The swing spot will be tough.  Evens is at NE, Williams has Sea and the other RB.

I have a feeling Watson is going to torch Buf's defense.

Akers is always money.

I think a win depends on the New York (football) Giants offense against Indy's D.

I hate betting on/against a Manning.

by TexSkins on Sep 6, 2006 3:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

She should start...
all 3 RBs, R. Moss and Roy Williams.

by Skin Patrol on Sep 6, 2006 3:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

She finally posted...
Moss, Williams at WR

Brown(Mia), Dunn at RB

and Brown(Phi) at W/R

I'm glad.  I still think Gore tears up ARI.

Oh, and for those who don't like my Mason pick (after rejoining McNair)... name the 2 players who have had more yards than him in the last 3 years.

umm...
i wanna say...

marvin harrison

and

torry holt

by redskins4adam on Sep 7, 2006 1:53 AM EDT up reply actions  

Close...
Mr. Holt and the Golden Boy himself, Mr. Chad Johnson.

Harrison is only a few yards shy though.

by TexSkins on Sep 7, 2006 12:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

oh well
one out of 2 ain't bad

by redskins4adam on Sep 8, 2006 2:05 AM EDT up reply actions  

For the record...
Ike Taylor's lack of hands killed me tonight...

Contract extension...

More like finger extensions...

R. Brown ran for 30 yards and ended up with 18+ points...

by TexSkins on Sep 8, 2006 1:28 AM EDT up reply actions  

You have that much faith in Williams?
Or that little faith in Sea's secondary?

And other than Gore, the RBs are gonna have a tough time of it.

I like my week match ups a lot better than hers.

by TexSkins on Sep 6, 2006 3:58 PM EDT reply actions  

I think people tend...
to overstate and overestimate the impact of week by week matchups. Unless the defense is just absolutely dominating, or unless the individual WR faces off against a shut down corner, then it's pretty much a crap shoot.

RBs are more influenced by week-to-week matchups, but I'd rather have a RB facing a tough schedule than a WR facing an easy one anyways. They produce more fantasy points.

by Skin Patrol on Sep 6, 2006 4:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

That's my point...
I think Pit and Car have those type of defenses, especially against the run.

Even using your DVOA website, they are 2 and 3 respectively.  Pit's even #1 against the run.  so, that's my theory.

The only thing I will concede is that both ATL and MIA are run-first offenses.  Dunn will get more looks and TDs without Duckett.  Same for Brown without Williams, unless Suggs works out.

Just my thoughts.

by TexSkins on Sep 6, 2006 4:15 PM EDT reply actions  

DVOA
rules and you should always use it in Football arguments.

That said, if I draft Ronnie Brown and Warrick Dunn in fantasy football, I'm playing them 16 games. Both guys could potentially have touchdowns against even the best running defenses in the league; the same cannot be said of bubble fantasy players like Gore, Evans, and Reggie Brown.

what to expect this year from cooley?
is he gonna get any plays taken away from him by other skins TE's? i have him on my team and i am thinking of making a push at heath miller.
mamma don't let your babies grow up to be.... redskins.

by jacksastud on Sep 8, 2006 1:27 AM EDT reply actions  

don't count on it
Just the opposite - he's expected to play a larger role in the offense as he shifts to a pure TE position.

by Burgundy and Gold on Sep 8, 2006 1:43 AM EDT up reply actions  

To second that...
Saunders loves getting the ball to the Tight End (see: Tony Gonzales) and Cooley will at least match his 2005 receptions.

Last year as a rare oddity H-Back he saw some looks he might not get this year, but missed some receptions he otherwise might've gotten as a pure tight end -- like BnG said.
