Friday's Fantasy Fare


We should have a Fantasy discussion thread on Friday's methinks.  So in the spirit of that idea I will throw out some questions.

 

1.  Do I start Marion Barber at the Seahawks (15th or 16th in rushing D) or do I start Darren Sproles aginst the Raiders and their 30th ranked rushing defense? 

 

I know Sproles doesn't see the endzone much but he could gash the Raiders for some big plays.  I am leaning toward Barber, but his production hasn't been steller either....

 

Thoughts?

Ya I know......but he nevers see the endzone. Would need a 100 yarder from him I think.....anyone know what LTs status is for the game?

i believe LT is starting the game and on NFL.com they said to view LT as a low #1 RB

NFL

Cowboys RB Marion Barber (thumb) went through a full practice Wednesday and Thursday as the team prepares for Week 8 vs. Seattle. Barber has yet to miss a game since injuring his thumb in Week 5 against the Chiefs.

Fantasy Analysis
Barber and the Cowboys returned to action in Week 7 against the Falcons after a bye week. Barber was limited to 47 rushing yards, but the thumb injury didn’t play a part in his lackluster day. Barber has been banged up in 2009 and a quad injury probably has more to do with his struggles than the thumb. Consider him a No. 2 Fantasy RB against the Seahawks.

Good Idea.

But I dont think anybody want’s to actually post write ups about it so I guess you’re it TF.

CHARGERS BACKFIELD= MASSIVE FAIL.

Dont put your hopes on Sproles man. Although Marion Barber is probable this week he should still put up more decent numbers than Sproles.

Oh. And I want Manningham back.

Question

i have slaton, thomas jones and deagelo williams who should be my starting 2

by omarlazo_09 on Oct 30, 2009 1:34 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Slaton this week....

I have a feeling this is going to be the breakout game for the running game.

ok but what bout the other two who either thomas jones or deangelo william

by omarlazo_09 on Oct 30, 2009 2:55 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Neither is a great option....

Jones vs. Miami D or Williams vs Arizona D……

I’m going Jones with this one.

but i was researching an williams is getting more involved with the passing, however jones is now the feature back since leon washington is out for the season… this is why i need help

Cards running D is tough.

Neither of those is going to be a points monster this week. But the Panthers are sucking it up right now and the Cards have one of the best run Defenses in the game.

Personally I would put in Jones over Williams.

Trades

Who would you trade out of my running backs and QB’s

by omarlazo_09 on Oct 30, 2009 3:16 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I would deal Aaron Rogers and the Vikings D for more depth at RB. No reason to carry two defenses.
