In Meadowbrook in Mandeville... Strong gusts but nothing really scary. Nothing sustained worth talking about. Rain hasn't really been an issue. I heard a couple of branches snap while under the back porch smoking a cigarette as well as a transformer blow but that's about it. Lights have flic...

re: Lock in rate now or wait?

Posted by BenjaminFranklin on 7/31/12 at 11:00 pm
Locking at 3.25% was definitely a good idea. The only way I would shop further would be if I was certain that I was going to move within the next 10 years and I was able to find 10/1 ARM around 2.9%, but even then I think I'd rather have the locked 3.25 just in case I decide to stay. Rates can't...

I'd start Bradshaw over those two. I don't know who I'd start as far as your receiver situation goes. Flip a coin. Usually when I flip a coin, I know my decision before I look to see if it's heads or tails because I find myself rooting for the coin flip to land a certain way. With Roddie, he pro...

I want to wait until after week 9. MJD and Gore have the same bye week. I would almost certainly lose that week if I had to start AP, Reg Bush, and Gaffney as my RB, RB, flex players....

I'd start Floyd and AJ over Roddie this week. Roddie is playing @Philly....

Benson and Forte for AP

Posted by BenjaminFranklin on 10/15/10 at 10:57 am
This one team I have in a 10 team league is probably the best fantasy team that I have ever amassed in my 9 years of playing: QBs: Big Ben, Cutler RBs: MJD (drafted him) Gore (traded Best and Matthews for him) Forte (drafted him) Benson (traded Orton + Tolbert for him) WRs: Reggie Wayn...
Yea, I have Reggie Wayne and Roddie White on one of my teams and I just start them every week regardless of matchups. Has worked out pretty well thus far as I am undefeated in that league. Right now, there are very few receivers I would trade Roddie for. He hasn't scored more than 16 points in a gam...

[quote]Best and Torain [/quote] Yup....
Kenny Britt has scored a TD in each of his last three games. However, in the first two of those games he had a total of 5 receptions. Thus, 2/5 receptions were TDs. He also had less than 30 yards receiving in both of those games. I don't see him continuing to get TDs. Besides, those first two games ...

re: hillis

I'd play Hillis. If Cleveland manages to score, it will probably be Hillis who scores for them....
Yea, I'll probably start Moss, but should I then start Smith or Jackson in the flex spot?...

re: Britt @ Jax or Ward vs Cle

Posted by BenjaminFranklin on 10/14/10 at 8:15 pm
Ward all day. Britt can't keep that TD streak up. The first two games, he had under 30 yards receiving in each and a total of 5 receptions combined. 2 out of 5 of his catches were for TDs. I just think it's more likely that Ward has big points. His QB is much better and Pittsburgh is full of talente...
I'd rather have Lloyd and Charles. Forte is solid but I can see Collie's numbers slipping now that Garcon is back. Charles got the majority of the carries last week, twice as many as Thomas Jones had. The only player I hear anyone compare Charles to is Chris Johnson. Chris Johnson is probably the o...
