DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Fantasy & Gaming WHo to start for week 9

Ok, the Byes are all done.

My running backs are

Kevin Jones Vs ATL
Ronnie Brown @ Chicago
Marion Barber@ Washington
Walli [email]Lundy@NY[/email] Giants
and Brandon Jacobs Vs Houston

Thoughts?

What 3 to start?

I think Jones and Brown for sure. I would probably go with Lundy for the other. I don't really like an of their match ups.

ronnnie brown and kevin jones are ur best 2 so go with them.

and i might go with jacobs he's a short yard back and could every well get a touchdown, but if he doesn't score he'll get u nothing.

I'd go with Kevin Jones and Lundy.

Ya, all of my starting running backs have tough scheduals, but backups are backups.

Marion Barber is a freaking beast but I can't trust him weekly even though he scored every week seemingly. Twice this past week.

2119, I was counting on you. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Jones, Brown and Lundy.

Tough choices. I mean you got Ronnie brown and Kevin Jones, two starters that usually put up great numbers, however they are playing some good defenses. Falcons have been tough against the run(besides that Tiki outbreak a few weeks back) and we know about the Bears.

Lundy has looked good. But against the Giants they will be playing from behind and the Giants D has been solid against the run this year also with a few exeptions.

Honestly I like Jacobs against Houston for a for sure start. I kind of like Barber against Washington also. But its tough because those guys are backups, and Jones and Brown are starters.

I would go with Jacobs, Brown and Jones I guess and if you feel uncomfortable with Jones or Brown then stick Barber in there.

Should I consider playing Brett Favre against Buffalo in favor for Carson plamer vs Baltiwhore?

I'd go with Carson. Baltimore's pass defense has been suspect lately, and with Cincy's passing game, it could get ugly.

Go with Favre.

The score is 1-1 <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />


I think that this decision could make or break my week to be honest.

ya whenever i ask a question i always listen to him he almost always gets it right

I like Barber and Farve.... Palmer has been having problems lately, even with all his weapons. Barber is the secondary back for Dallas, but he's the one they go to near the end zone...

WOW very interesting. You may have swayed my QB decision. I love Varber too. hmmmm <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

OK then, I'll explain my side in more detail. First, I disagree with Palmer struggling. He's averaged around 250 passing yards over the last three games and has at least 1 touchdown in each, going 5 TD, 0 int total. Favre, meanwhile has averaged only 200 yards over the last three games, but still has at least 1 TD in each for a total of 4 TD, 0 Int. And Favre's last three have been against Arizona, Miami, and St. Louis, while Palmer has gone against a little better Defenses in Atlanta, Carolina, and Tampa Bay.

Now on the other side, both Buffalo and Baltimore have given up an average of 205 passing yards per game, but recently, Baltimore's given up over 350 yards and 20 points in each of the last 2 games. To be fair, I did leave out the 3rd, because Denver didn't do too much against them, but then, Denver hasn't had too great of an offense this year either. Moving on, Buffalo has kept with their average over the last three games against New England, Detroit, and Chicago, though Chicago did score 40 points against them, but then, Chicago does have the best overall offense this year.

So, in summary, I stick with my original statement, Favre's a good bet, but Palmer's a better bet.

Very nice star. Seeing the previous matchups. I will have t agree with you and start pamer.

Also, Chris henry, TJ housyamama, and Ocho Cinco are all on the feild, healthy, for the first time this year.

Palmer.

Was close, but I should have started Barber and Favre. Heopfully I'll still win, route against Ben Watson and Deon Branch, and route for Reggie Wayne. <img src="/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

Barber only got a few more pts than Jacobs, and Favre only got a few more than Palmer, Thats not bad, Brown and Jones had really good weeks, it shouldnt have hurt you that much, and Jacobs had a better matchup than Barber, you cant really be upset about that.

not upset at all, unless i lose by 3 points.

A lot of people around here and in my league hated my Kevin Jones for Duece trade, and it looks better for me every week.

Ronnie Brown WOW, against a stout Baera defnese.

All in all it was a good week, but he had bulger and baltiwhores defesne killing me. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ouch, yeah, well at least you werent going against Javon Walker, dude is having a monster game.
