re: Official Fantasy Football Thread: Week 7

but that's just me

Bruce, Colston, and not sure about the third. That's tough. I would probably say Johnson as the 3rd. Or maybe Muhammed

oh, didn't know your league gives points for return yards. Hester, Colston, and Either Bruce or Muhammed

Housh or Muhammed

Even though Housh is listed as questionable, most sources predict that he'll play. Still, Fitz-whatever is under center and the Steelers will be chomping at the bit to get to him. This could get ugly fast. Best thing for Housh would probably be to let him take the snap and try to hit the ball-hungry Ocho. I agree with Tech, Muhammed is the better bet this week.

CJ will probably be double covered the entire game.

A smart Texans D would just put five guys on CJ and dare the rest of the Lions to try to move the ball. I know Calvin's a star, but please. How prolific can an Orlovsky to McDonald tandum be?

Kyle Orton at home against Minnesota or Phillip Rivers away against the Bills?

This is my situation, too. I am starting Rivers. Last week, I went against my usual line up and started Orton. Rivers threw three TDs. I was sick until the Giants D layed and egg and I won.

To this week. The "West Coast Bias" lovers will say that 1 p.m. EST is too early for the Chargers to be up and ready. They would point to an early season Seattle game as evidence. I say that the Seattle game is only evidence of how bad Seattle is. I think it will not be the best week for Rivers, but I wouldn't underestimate the Vikings D either. My general rule is never to sit a star for a mediocre player based on a match up. You don't sit Peyton against the Ravens to play Delhomme against the Saints, do you?

Well what I'm worried about is the bad performances in the last two road games by Rivers. Orton has been hot the last four week and he is playing a home game.

---

Those are good points. But did you know

quote:

---

The Vikings defense has not allowed multiple touchdown passes to an opposing quarterback this season.

quote:

I'm gonna start the wrong guy like usual anyway haha

---

Well, if you start Orton and I start Rivers, we can't both be wrong. Right?

quote:

---

I may go with Rivers anyway.

---

Then we both could be wrong. I have Vincent Jackson, too, so I'm pleased with all the attention he's been getting from Rivers. On the other side of the ball, I have Evans, so I'm hoping for a shootout with Evans and VJ as the beneficiaries. Not trying to be greedy, but I'm playing last year's champ, and I want revenge.
