re: Week 11 Fantasy Football Discussion

Pick 2:

Cotchery vs NE
Engram vs ARI (Hasselbeck back)
Cooley vs Dal
Holt vs SF
Mark Bradley vs NO

I'd go with Delhomme, and I say that with confidence because I'm starting him myself. Who should I bench out of:

Thomas Jones @ Pats
Reggie Bush vs. KC
LT @ Steelers

Start Delhomme at home against the lowly Lions

OR

Favre TONIGHT at the PATS, Thurs Night Football, in the rain, sleet and snow???

This decision is beyond my area of expertise at the moment. My first question is whether you're sure about the rain, sleet, and snow? If you are, that would not bode well for any QB.

Since I have no real opinion, I'll share this quote from the Start 'Em, Sit 'Em on cbssportsline. Both QBs are in the "start" column:

quote:

---

Jake Delhomme (vs. DET): Throw out last week's game at Oakland when Delhomme passed for 72 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions. In fact, throw out every road game for Delhomme this season. He's just not good away from Carolina, so it's a good thing he's back in the friendly confines this week. In five home games, Delhomme has passed for 1,101 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions compared to 752 yards, two touchdowns and seven interceptions in four games on the road. It also helps that he's facing Detroit, which has allowed 244.9 passing yards per game with 15 touchdowns and only two interceptions. Look for the Panthers passing game to rebound this week, which means Steve Smith will have more than one catch for 9 yards.
Brett Favre (at NE): Favre hasn't been good on the road and hasn't been good for Fantasy owners recently. In his past two road games, Favre has no touchdowns and three interceptions at Oakland and Buffalo. Overall, Favre has four touchdowns and eight interceptions in his past five games, but he did snap a seven-game interception streak against the Rams last week. The Jets won't be able to run against the Patriots, so look for Favre to be forced to make plays. In the first meeting in Week 2, Favre was limited to 181 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception. New England's pass defense has fallen apart since then with Rodney Harrison (thigh) and Adalius Thomas (forearm) out. The Patriots have allowed 14 passing touchdowns this year, so Favre will have a chance for a good game.

Ace, thought you might be interested to know that the cbs start 'em/sit 'em says to sit Jones and LT. Here's the quote for Jones:

quote:

---

Bust alert: Thomas Jones (at NE): Jones has already matched his career high with nine touchdowns this season. He has seven touchdowns in his past five games and ran for 149 yards and three scores last week against St. Louis. But the Patriots will contain Jones this week. In three meetings with New England as a member of the Jets, Jones has 131 rushing yards and no touchdowns, including 17 carries for 70 yards in Week 2 this year. The Patriots run defense has been stellar this year outside of one game. If you remove Week 3 against Miami from the schedule, the Patriots have yet to allow a rushing touchdown this season. With Vince Wilfork leading the way, the Patriots front seven has been dominant and will stop Jones' recent successful run.

The news for LT wasn't any better. My initial inclination would be to advise you to go with LT. When in doubt, start your star. You drafted him No. 1. Might as well.

But then I saw the post above saying there's a forecast of rain, sleet and snow tonight. I haven't checked weather.com, but you should. If the weather is bad enough, it could be good news for the running backs with sure hands.

anyone think cedric benson isgoing tohave decent success the rest of the year?

Compared to what?

I'm in a similar situation with Graham as my 2nd RB. I wanted to sit him this week since he's hurt plus he's going against Min. If I do that leaves me with Benson starting ahead of him.

For your situation I would go with Grant. I don't think Faulk is the answer. I think BGE will have a much better game.

Brees vs Chiefs
or
Warner vs Seahawks

Yes i have both.

Gore vs. STL
D. Williams vs. DET
Jacobs vs. BAL
MJD vs. TEN

Do I have the right 2 starting?

Who to start: Coles or Housh?
