Fantasy Football: An Unenviable Decision

Turd Ferguson · 12-09-2006, 08:04 PM

Alright, I need this victory to make the playoffs...so any help is appreciated. I can start only one of the following three at Quarterback:

J.P. Losman at NY Jets

David Carr vs. Tenn.

Rex Grossman at St. Louis

There are no other options.

I was leaning toward Grossman since there are rumors Griese will replace him and zero points would be an improvement for him.

Ok, so which of the above would you start?

Thanks!

Man....no wonder you're fighting for a playoff spot instead of being in already! I think you have to start Losman. Tenn made Manning look unspectacular and is a different team right now. St. Louis' secondary is pretty bad but not bad enough to make Grossman look good.

Turd Ferguson · 12-09-2006, 08:41 PM

Yeah, I know, my QB play has been terrible. If I had simply forgotten to start someone at QB instead of Grossman, I'd actually have two more wins and a playoff spot wrapped up.

Currently, Losman is my starter, but I'm worried about the Jet's D in the Meadowlands.

rowech · 12-09-2006, 10:15 PM

None of your matchups are all that appealing. I'd start Carr before Grossman though.

MizzouRah · 12-09-2006, 10:23 PM

Tough choice, I'd go with Grossman simply for the fact that if I say that, MAYBE the Rams D will actually stop someone Monday night. Also, I think this game is a MUST for Grossman to play well.

primelord · 12-10-2006, 01:02 AM

Well I think Losman is the worst option of the 3. The Jets pass defense has been much better lately. So between Grossman and Carr I would probably throw up in my mouth a bit and go with Carr. Andre Johnson is capable of lighting Pacman up. Even if Grossman could put up a good day, the Rams run D is awful and I think the Bears will be looking to keep it on the ground this week. So Carr is probably the best option in a pretty nasty group.

Go with Drew Bledsoe, he will lead you to the playoffs and most likely your league championship. 350 and 5 in the bank.

watravaler · 12-10-2006, 03:27 AM

Grossman, for the most part, has destroyed bad defenses, although you can't help but think his last 3 games could be a trend...

rowech · 12-10-2006, 08:51 AM

Glad we could help out by reaching a consensous for you!

panerd · 12-10-2006, 09:38 AM

Wow. Somebody actually has Jeff Garcia, Joey Harrington, Matt Leinert, Alex Smith, & Jason Campbell? Not that these guys are great but I would start any of them over the three choices you threw out there. How deep is your league 20 guys?

I think you have to go with Carr though. Tennessee somehow keeps on pulling out wins, but their defense is still awful. Carr should be good for 7-10 points.

Turd Ferguson · 12-10-2006, 10:09 AM

Panerd,

Yes, all of the above are taken with the exception of Jason Campbell. Jay Cutler has also become available.

Right now, I'm debating b/w Losman, Carr or Campbell.

Turd Ferguson · 12-10-2006, 10:22 AM

Dola

The league is only 10 deep. Apparently, some people have stockpiled QB's.

MizzouRah · 12-10-2006, 11:06 AM

I just picked up Trent Green in our FF league. (also 10 deep)

Did anyone pick up Chris Weinke for today's game?

Is this before or after his TD pass?

rowech · 12-10-2006, 04:33 PM

Who did you end up starting?

Turd Ferguson · 12-10-2006, 11:34 PM

Well, I ended up starting Losman after all. He did a pretty good job. Unfortunately, my opponent had LT...'nuff said.

The only way I get in to the playoffs is if I win a few tiebreakers (it's a longshot)...so we shall see after tomm. night.

Thanks again for the help!

rowech · 12-11-2006, 04:34 AM

I was hoping you went with Losman after seeing he played decently. I have Tomlinson and Brees in my league. Week after week one of them carries me. This week, they both did. 8 TD's between the two.

Should have told us that right away and we could have told you 'Doesn't matter' right away and been done with it...

Solecismic Jim did.

I picked LT third in the league I am in and owners 1 & 2 actually bitch that it is unfair because LT is my whole team. I didn't tell them to pick Alexander and I sure as hell didn't tell them to take Larry Johnson.

rowech · 12-11-2006, 02:52 PM

I get the same panerd. I got him 3rd after LJ and Alexander. Then they want me to feel bad. What's funny is I wanted him 3rd out of those 3 guys. Never again will I doubt him.
