I'm
out of the playoffs, and we have to pick our 3 keepers
by the time the regular season is over - who should
I take between these 5 guys? I get 3, obviously. Clinton
Portis, Larry Johnson, Maurice Jones Drew, Chad Johnson,
and Braylon Edwards (PPR league, starting 2 RBs and
3 WRs) - T's Bags in Coquitlam
Nice
group of players you have there, and a tough choice
to break down and lose two of them. I'd imagine that
Larry Johnson has a better offensive line next year,
and that team will be a little better overall, plus
he's one of the really talented players in this league,
so I'd keep him 1st. Clinton Portis has been pretty
good this season, despite offensive line woes, and he's
pretty young. I like Jones-Drew better than Portis,
but it looks like Fred Taylor is coming back for yet
another year, and he's as good as ever, so that situation
is questionable. Chad Johnson is good, but remains inconsistent,
and doesn't put up huge touchdown numbers considering
his touches and elite talent. Braylon had a huge start
to the season, and though he has tailed off a little
toward the end, he's a great touchdown threat, especially
if Derek Anderson continues his career with the Browns
next season. However, nobody knows if that will be the
case. I would probably go with LJ, Chad, and Braylon
and hope it all works out with coaching and players
staying where they should. In your format, 2 starting
RBs only, keeping a guy like Larry and making a play
for someone like Jones Drew or Clinton in the first
couple rounds looks like a good move. With a 3 WR starting
league, beginning with Chad and Braylon probably gets
you to the top of the league at that slot, and elite
receiver play is very important. Jones Drew is my favorite
player in the league, truly, but he doesn't get enough
touches to rely on week in and week out.
Earnest
Graham or Clinton Portis? The Jaguars or the Buccaneers?
- Jody from Oregon State U
IN
the finals, Jody, congratulations. I would go with Earnest
Graham. He's been consistently good and almost got me
into the finals with his solid bow-staff skills last
week against Atlanta. As for the Jags and Bucs, both
options are great, but I'd go with Jacksonville this
week. It seems like they have more to play for, and
I think they are the better defense. The Raiders are
splitting the game up between JaMarcus Russell and Josh
McCown, so I think you have a pretty good play there
in Jacksonville. If you go the other way, I like your
chances for a big point total as well. The 49ers played
decent against the terrible 49ers last week, and Shaun
Hill played a nice game at quarterback. I don't think
that will last, as there's a reason he was 3rd string
all season long. Good luck, Jody!
So,
I lost because of Brady, you too I imagine? Are you
mad about it because you knew it was going to happen
or do you feel okay because Brady got you this far?
- Rorry in New Orleans
I
know buddy, sorry about that, but we went down in flames
together. Weather doesn't have the grandest effect on
all the games, but many people will say that it was
dumb to play Brady when you had warmer weather options.
I say this, sure, I lost because I didn't start Warner
over Brady and like anyone else who lost this weekend,
I'm a little bit bummed. But, if it would have been
different, if I would have lost because I didn't start
Brady, that would have been a huge hit. That would have
been more painful that I could have imagined. Brady
has been fantasy royalty this season, and I had to ride
his game. We lost, Rorry, but it's not the end of the
world, we still have the 3rd place game to win - any
money is better than no money - write that down.
