Week 16

[The Nac]

Having a difficult time deciding who to start, so I'll pose this to you guys.

-QB-
Rodgers @ CHI
Cassel vs ARZ (lean)
T. Jackson vs ATL (lean)

-WR-
Royal vs BUF (lean)
Moss vs ARZ (lean)
Colston @ DET (lean)
Jennings @ CHI

-DEF-
Jets @ SEA
Panthers @ NYG (available via FA)

[TheMavsMan]

I'm leaning with ya. Stay with the Jets D.

I think you gotta start Cassell. The weather up here will be cold bu snow gone by Sunday. Chicago on Mon night prob brutal to throw in. Like all your WR's, but even though I dont think GB has big throwing day, it would be very hard to sit Jennings. And id prob go Jets D. Gl man

So who do I sit to start Jennings? I hesitated a long time before sitting him in place of Colston (a FA pickup) because of the matchup. But they have Rodgers and Jennings as 5-star matchups this week, while Jackson is only a 3.

Really, Royal is the only one that would make sense to sit, but again, in my league return yards have serious value, and Eddie returns everything for Denver. He's pretty much a must start for me every week since Denver gets scored on so much.

[Thunder]

How many receivers do you have to start? I don't think there's much question about your QB.....Ya gotta go with Rodgers here....Jennings as well.....The Bears pass D has been very down this year and after GB ran like wild on them in the 1st game, the Bears will be looking to slow down the GB RB's....

[The Nac]

3 WR's and I figured that Chicago's D would be a bit more aggressive this time around after getting beat up so bad the 1st time. I dunno. I need to win this week so bad and I'm terrified of starting the wrong guys lol

[Thunder]

I sit Colston...I know it's a risk because they are playing Detroit, but I expect Thomas to get a bunch of yards on the ground....
Green Bay will throw the shit out of the ball on MNF.....Trust me...

[The Nac]

Alright I'll take your word for it.

Yea like I said, theyre all goo WR's, and i agree on Colston, hes been better of late and in that offense indoors against Det youd have to start him Id think. Royal would be the one to sit. Id just have to start Jennings. Ive never used return yards so I wouldnt know how to take that into consideration.

Well here, I'll breakdown the value of these 4 in my league so you have a better idea:

Passing Yards - 10 yards = 1 point (Bonuses at 300, 350, 400) - TDs worth 6 points
Rushing Yards - 5 yards = 1 point (Bonuses at 150, 175, 200) - TDs worth 6 points
Receiving Yards - 5 yards = 1 point (Bonuses at 160, 180, 200) - TDs worth 6 points
Return Yards - 5 yards = 1 point (Bonuses at 100, 125, 150) - TDs worth 10 points

Eddie Royal
Rushing YDS - 38 TD - 0
Receiving YDS - 847 TD - 5
Return YDS - 738 TD - 0
2-Pt - 1
Fumbles - 1 Lost - 1
Total Fantasy Points - 393.60

Randy Moss
Receiving YDS - 908 TD - 10
Fumbles - 3 Lost - 2
Total Fantasy Points - 223.60

Greg Jennings
Receiving YDS - 1153 TD - 8
2-pt - 1
Fumbles - 1 Lost - 0
Total Fantasy Points - 282.60

Marques Colston
Receiving YDS - 538 TD - 2
Fumbles - 1 Lost - 0
Total Fantasy Points - 116.60

And now you can see why I wanna start Darren Sproles every week.

Darren Sproles
Rushing YDS - 212 TD - 0
Receiving YDS - 279 TD - 3
Return YDS - 1341 TD - 1
2-pt - 1
Fumbles - 1 Lost - 2
Total Fantasy Points - 456.40

[Thunder]

Wow, no way u can sit E. Royal now....That would drastically chnge the way you draft......Reggie Bush and Devin Hester would be that much more valuable....

Jennings, Moss, Royal...

[The Nac]

Exactly, Thunder. The week vs Cleveland, Eddie had me almost 60 points. Week 1 vs the Raiders was close to 50 again. We're changing the rules for next year, but for now I gotta exploit it as best I can. And the prick I'm playing this week has Ted Ginn Jr. (MIA returner for most of the year), Josh Cribbs (CLE's version of Eddie) and Yamon Figurs (BAL's return guy) so...I need the points. lol

[The Nac]

Winning by 85+ right now going into tonight's game, and I still have Rodgers and Jennings to go. Should be able to cover the points I'm down overall + more after tonight. Just need him to lose next week and me to win, and I should be getting paid out!

[Thunder]

How did it turn out?

[The Nac]

Whooped his ASS 268.90 - 135.20! (thank you Darren Sproles and your 170+ return yards )

So now I need help for this week, as a win for me and a loss for him means I win the pool, provided I stay ahead in points. (I have 10 more points overall, but have 1 more loss)

Remember the Return Yard factor:

-WR-
Royal @ SD (In for sure as he is Denver's #1 KR/PR and this game will be a shootout)
Jennings vs DET (leaning)
Colston vs CAR
Moss @ BUF (leaning)

-RB-
T. Jones vs MIA
Grant vs DET (leaning because it's the Lions....)
Sproles vs DEN (leaning because he's SD's #1 KR/PR and this game will be a shootout)

-DEFENSE-
Packers D vs DET (leaning because, again, it's the Lions...)
Jets D vs MIA

Any thoughts?
