DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Fantasy & Gaming Fantasy Football: Is your team still alive

I'm in the Super Bowl in 3 of my 5 leagues. It would've been 4 if I hadn't second guessed my self & played Devery Henderson & LJ Smith over Joey Galloway & Desmond Clark. I am concerned having to start Philip Rivers in two championships after he scored (-3) last week, plus I've heard something about LT having an injured jaw (?) so I just grabbed Michael Turner as insurance.

Im still alive.

Im rolling:

Marc Bulger
Larry Johnson
Willie Parker
Daryl Jackson (if healthy)
Chris Chambers
Tony Gonzalez
Josh Scobee
GB Def/ST


Im playing:

Mike Vick
Ahman Green
Steven Davis
Anquan Boldin
Chad Johnson
Antonio Gates
Rob Gould
Ravens D/ST

Thoughts?

Yes I have thoughts <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> How confident are you in Bulger this week against WAS??? He has struggled recently, and I'm thinking of plugging in Derek Anderson this week for the Super Bowl, hehe. I know, I know, go with what got you there, but I'm just not feeling good about Bulger and the Rams in general. Help me feel better please <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm rolling with:

Bulger / Anderson QB
Wayne WR
Holt / Braylon WR
Tomlinson RB
Dunn RB
Gates TE
Graham K
Baltimore DEF

DevilDawg, LT hurt his jaw on his last run of the game Sunday night. I too, am very concerned. But he told ESPN it wasn't serious and that he's good to go Sunday. I suspect he's fine, I think he just bruised it. Plus, I'm sure SD wants to lock up home field this week, so I'm think LT will have a huge game. Here's hoping. <img src="/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

Oh, great. I was planning to use LT in my fantasy SuperBowl. <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Hopefully he's okay. Of course, he can't save my ass at this point. I need Fred Taylor to be healthy, and he's not. Oh well....this is the best I've played in four or five years so I'll take it.

Bulger struggled this past week, but played very well 2 weeks ago. Starting any Browns QB over him makes zero sense.

From all I've heard, Washington's pass defense is putrid (25 or 27 TD's surrendered), but then they go out & shut down the NFL's best passer in Bree's last week so who knows?

Washington hasn't given up more than 200 yards through the air since November 12th against the Eagles. So I wouldn't say there pass defense is horrible.

As far as Bulger..............7 TD's, 7 INT's in his last 7 weeks. Not very good.

I am in the championship. This past week I played against Rivers, Gates, Chad Johnson and the Bears defense, I thought I was doomed but they only totaled 10 points.

I am in the Championship game against the guy in my division who i have beated twice this year including the last game of the season when i beat him to take the division, my entry fee back and a bye.

He will probably run with:

Carson Palmer
Rudi Johnson
Steven Jackson
Mushni Muhammed
Hines Ward
Alge Crumpler
Jay Feely
Ravens defense

***not sure how i beat him twice, his team is tough, here is what I am rolling with:

Tom Brady
Larry Johnson
Brian Westbrook
Donald Driver
Lee Evans
Todd Heap
Jeff Wilkens
Chargers D/ST

--I could also sub in Marion Barber at a RB, Braylon at a WR or Vernon Davis at TE, but i think as of now im going with the starters I listed first.


Winer takes hom $730 and loser gets $180. If i win im getting a 360.

Wow that's awesome, good luck!

Wish I was in your league. I get 150 for the win and 40 for the loss. I'm thinking of taking my girlfriend out to eat at a swanky place if I win. Beer money if I loose.

Youd start an unproven Cleveland QB over Bulger?

If so - please join my league next year.

Yeah, I won my division too, so I won my entry fee back also, so I Only ended up paying $21 to play, $10 in trade money and $11 towards CBS website.

Hey, I'm just trying to do whatever I can to win. My "crazy" ideas have all worked out so far this year. So don't be upset if I join your league next year and end up in the Super Bowl <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Wow, lucky guy to make it to the championship with Steven DAVIS in his starting lineup. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

go back to drooling over the Xbox 360 you dont have.

Heres to 2119 losing by 1 point!

I"m alive in my 200 dollar league so that's all that matters to me.

Ouch, come on, you know its fun for you too if i get that 360.

We'll game, its all good.

I got my clock cleaned by Blitz this weekend and I'm toast.

Good luck to Michelle and Blitz this weekend.

I was in the playoffs in 3 of 4 leagues. I had my 8 team league all wrapped up to head to super bowl last night until Peyton manning had almost a career game and I lost by one.

I am in the super bowl in my 12 team league and it looks like a wrap up.

I am one game away from the super bowl in my 18 team league and this week is going to be a very tough one.

The worst part about it is the only team I didn't make the playoffs in was my best team.

This is my 3rd year of fantasy, and Im playing the final game this week. First time ever to make the playoffs.


This is my lineup that Ive used most of the second half of the season.

1 Drew Brees/Hasslebak.
2 Steven Jackson/Marion Barber
3 Torry Holt/Braylon/Roy Williams
4 Winslow/Shockey
5 Shayne Graham
6 My defensive starter has been whoever had the most favorable looking matchup out of the available starters. I began the season with the Bucs but it didnt take long to dump them,

I was behind by 6 points heading into Monday nights game. Carson Palmer and TJ, and Vinetari for Indy.

The other team had Chad.

I lost...

sheesh. That deflection in the end zone to TJ would have put me over ... <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

My team's still alive. I think I'm gonna go with this lineup for the big game

QB: Michael Vick
RB1: LaDainian Tomlinson
RB2: Deuce McAllister
WR1: Anquan Boldin
WR2: Joe Jurevicius
TE: Kellen Winslow
K: Jeff Wilkins
D/ST: Eagles

I just picked up Jurevicius, Marty Booker last week was my latest failed attempt to get some production out of my 2 receiver. I just haven't had any luck with that position lately. And I haven't decided yet what I'm going to do if Vick can't go, I'm just hoping he can.

Any thoughts?

I'm in three leagues total, and in the finals on two.

I would have been in the finals in all three of my leagues, but my opponent had Marvin Harrison last week, who got 22 points.

Arg, I'm still miffed. That was the one league I really cared about.

My team is still going strong despite my stud QB McNabb getting hurt.

Now it goes like this.

QB-Grossman, Harrington
RB-Frank Gore, Rudi Johnson, Ahman Green
TE-Jeremy Shockey, Kellen Winslow
WR-Reggie Wayne, Torry Holt, Bernard Berrian
K-Josh Brown, Ryan Longwell
DST- Dallas, Indy.

I play in just one league. And Iam in the SuperBowl.....
Heres my lineup

Carson Palmer
Frank Gore (RD 7 steal)
Jamal Lewis
Vernon Davis(or KW2 undecided
Roy Williams
Lavernous Coles(another great steal in RD 8)
Deion Branch
Jeff Wilkins
Chargers defense....

Next time Im charging you $2 for my fantasy advice. Bulger 4 TD's vs DA's 4 INT's. Stick w/ the proven starters in fantasy, it pays off.

i won the superbowl in my league <img src="/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

HAHAHAHAHA. I've been waiting for you to say something all week. I was just generating conversation man, but I will give you props, you helped me in my decision. I DID start Bulger, and he was HUGE for me, especially since LT only tallied 11 points. He helped me win the Super Bowl and 150 bucks. So thanks, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have started Anderson anyways. I dropped him and my buddy played him in the consolation game, -5 points.....SWEET!!!!!

bah! I lost in the championship game in one of my league.. but then i didnt expect to get that far considering I was the 5th ranked team and one of the lowest point scorers in the league...
