re: Shonn Greene for Jahvid Best

ya the usual....Got Rice,Dwill,Forte, Caddy and now Greene

quote:

Michael Bush (thumb) returned to Raiders practice in full Wednesday.
Keep in mind that Bush took the majority of his normal reps in practice last Wednesday, too, yet was still deactivated against the Titans. Though he does look more likely to play in Week 2, we won't have a legitimate idea of Bush's status until he gets through a full practice week. Darren McFadden could conceivably lose 8-10 touches against the Rams if Bush is available.

time share either way, the PPR is an issue, but in the very limited action Greene had, he caught a pass. I figure his goaline ops negate the 30 catch(5td) differential

Bush is predicted to have nearly the same fantasy points as McFadden.

I see where you are going with this. That there is more to evaluating player than just looking at output and point predictions.

Yahoo continually updates there predictions based off of what those kind of reports. So using the yahoo features it already takes into account those intangibles.

I understand predictions never fall in line perfectly nor accurately, but I used this method the last two years and finished 3rd last year and 1st the year before that. I finished 3rd last year because of injuries and Slaton's damn fumbling problem.

If the prediction points are withing 30 points then I use my gut feeling and the various scouting reports. Any point prediction gaps over that I go with the higher guy.

With Best/Greene >> Best

With McFadden/Greene >> Either way

Would you be giving up Addai?

Back away from a guy who won't catch shite. Addai and Greene will have similar years rushing but Addai will get a crap load of rec.

Greene is a horrible PPR RB. BACK AWAY!

DON'T SELL ON GREENE!

you are reading way too much into the Yahoo Prediction shite. when have they ever been right?
i've been playing Yahoo Fantasy Football for about a decade now, and their predictions are laughable.

you're saying Shonn Greene might flop in his 2nd year. We all saw what he was capable of last year. He's got a year in the system, he's shaken the rookie jitters. he just played against the toughest defense he'll play against all year.

Jahvid Best hasn't proved anything.
