re: Fantasy Football Week 15 Discussion

Is anybody worried about Portis slamming his coach. That is all I need, to have him suspended in the middle of my playoffs.

PIck 1:

Ronnie vs SF
SJax vs Seattle
Dunn vs ATL
CHoice vs Giants

Housz vs Wash
Ward vs Balt

Current Line-up:

Not to sure about Ronnie, thinking Thomas but I'm playing against Bush this week. I like the McNabb match-up but I have Philly DEF and Westbrook (ie too many eggs)

Opponents line-up
Aaron Rodgers
Larry Fitzgerald
Calvin Johnson
Maurice Jones-Drew
DeAngelo Williams
Reggie Bush
Dallas Clark
John Carney
Miami

thx in advance

Jets D vs. BUF or
Redskins D vs. CIN

Clark vs. DET or
Carlson vs. STL

So I'm in the playoffs, and I have to make a tough choice, as each is capable of big points each week.

Who do I fill my final RB/WR slot with?

Randy Moss (@ Oak)
Wes Welker
Ronnie Brown (SF)
Lance Moore (@ Chi)

ETA: I also have Warrick Dunn (@ Atl) but he has not blown up the boards lately.

Boldin is a definite start so pick 2 out of the following:

Vincent Jackson vs. KC
Kevin Walter vs. Tennessee
Deion Branch vs. St. Louis
Isaac Bruce vs. Miami
Davone Bess vs. San Francisco
Steve Breaston vs. Minnesota

I'd go with Breaston and either Bess or Branch. That's funny tho b/c I'm in almost the same situation. I'm starting Fitz and looking for help elsewhere. I've been starting Cotchery but he's sucked lately. I'm thinking of playing him again this week though. Also, McClain is my flex right now vs PIT (which is tough) so here's who I have to choose between for WR2 and flex (if better than McClain):

Cotchery vs BUF
Bradley vs SD
Engram vs STL
S. Holmes vs BAL
Bess vs SF (waiver claim)
Branch vs STL (waiver claim)

I'm thinking of going with Cotchery and Bess. But I'm not sure if Bess would give me more than McClain (with Willis and Rice banged up).

CRAP!!!!

going against MJD this week and.....

Jags coach Jack Del Rio said on his radio show Tuesday that Fred Taylor could be placed on injured reserve due to a thumb injury suffered in Week 14.

Taylor's absence would be a huge boost to Maurice Jones-Drew's playoff value with the Packers and Colts on the horizon the next two weeks. In addition to Taylor's injury, the Jags are expected to place fullback Greg Jones on injured reserve with an ankle injury. They are bringing back both Alvin Pearman and LaBrandon Toefield for workouts Wednesday

Anyone have any updates on Marion Barber and whether he'll play? I'm wondering if Choice will be worth picking up off waivers? Nothing on ESPN that I could see.

ETA: I found this on Sportsline, looks like he will probably play even though he may not practice.

Cowboys coach Wade Phillips spent the early minutes of his Monday news conference denying that the team ever questioned the toughness of RB Marion Barber, which became an issue only because owner Jerry Jones brought it up after Week 14's game at Pittsburgh. Said Phillips on Monday: "I don't want to speak for Jerry, but I don't think you question his toughness. He's one of the toughest guys we have." He also said he thinks Barber can play Week 15 against the Giants. "He's going to try and practice this week," Phillips said. "I know he's feeling better. I think he will be out there or try to be out there certainly. ... He can play without practicing, and he may have to do that this week." (Updated 12/08/2008).

Anyone still think Choice is worth picking up?
