Fantasy Football

[Boktavia II]

Hey, does anybody else have a fantasy football team? I've got one in a Yahoo league, and I need some advice for my game coming up this weekend. In the league, the season's over and the playoffs have started. There are 8 teams, so it's a 3-round playoff....you know, first 8 teams, then 4, then 2 (it also means everybody has their fair share of stars). I made it through the first round fine, seeing as I tied for best record in the league it was pretty easy, but now I'm up against the person I tied with for 1st, and they scored more total points than me in the season. We split the two games we played against each other in the season, 1-1. Here's the matchup:

Me:
QB: Daunte Culpepper
WR: Reggie Wayne
Mushin Muhammed
Torry Holt
RB: Tiki Barber
Deuce McAllister
TE: Antonio Gates
K: Jeff Wilkins
DEF: Baltimore
Bench: Steve McNair (QB, injured)
Jimmy Smith (WR)
Darrel Jackson (WR)
Rudi Johnson (RB)
Eric Johnson (TE)
New York Giants (DEF)

Opponent:
QB: Peyton Manning
WR: Marvin Harrison
Donald Driver
Nate Burleson
RB: Willis McGahee
LaDanian Tomlinson
TE: Alge Crumpler
K: David Akers
DEF: Carolina
Bench: Santana Moss (WR)
Amani Toomer (WR)
Corey Dillon (RB)
Warrick Dunn (RB)
Brain Leftwich (QB)
Seattle (DEF)

I don't think he's going to change his lineup, as he's been pretty dominating recently with it. But I can't decide who to put in for a couple situations. Do I keep in Torry Holt, who could have a tough game against the Eagles this weekend, or sub in Jimmy Smith, who's going against the Texans and had a good game against the Packers on Sunday? And do I keep in McAllister, or go for Rudi Johnson? But then I would have Barber and Johnson, who are playing against each other this coming week, both starting. But it could be safer than gambling on one or the other to do well....it's so hard to choose, especially with the championship quite possibly on the line, since the 3rd and 4th place finishers were both upset by like the 6th and 7th seed guys.

Not too much of a football fan, so that all came out as gibberish.

lol. it's strange, i don't even like football nearly as much as baseball or even basketball, yet i still know more about it than a lot of people.

[Greek People Nation (GPN)]

I would have to sya he has you beat, but I would bench one of your WR and put in Jummy Smith.


Your Opp. Has a great QB and Two Great WR. You would have to hope Manning doesent throw the ball that much and farve dosen't throw to driver that much to win.

[Boktavia II]

Yeah, I've benched Holt and put in Smith...I think I'll leave in Wayne, since at least if Manning does well, I might prosper a little from it. And if Manning doesn't too well, that's ok, cause Wayne isn't one of my key players anyway, while Manning is really important to him. Mushin Muhammed has been tearing it up for me, and he should keep up with Donald Driver, but his Manning-Harrison combo is the best our league. I've got him beat at TE with Gates, but at RB he might have me, unless Tiki Barber breaks out of the little slump he's been having recently. K is a draw. I still think I could beat him at WR because he's starting Nate Burleson, but it would require all 3 of my WR doing well.

[Boktavia II]

Erk....not good, not good. Donald Driver and Nate Burleson both had above-average games against each other. Daune did fine for me, but...I think I'm in trouble.

[Free Guns For All]

Wow, this thread went well.

How can you tell?

Life is full of pain.

And, unfortunately, football.

Unbelievably boring.
