FantasyLion.com: All Day

Here’s some Week 13 Q&A’s that could help your fantasy squad…

Q- Vincent Jackson is my #1 WR in my PPR leage, I dont know if i should start Driver against Bal or the inconsisstant Calvin Johnson against Cin. And then after that I have to choose from Hightower, Fred Jackson, or the 3rd reciever as a flex. Who is looking good??

A: If Jackson is starting again for Buf, go with him, he’s been outstanding as a starting back this year. I hope the Bills learned their lesson. Jackson is better than Lynch, in fantasy and in real games. So he’s a must start if he gets the nod again.

I like Driver this week. The Packers have been more consistent and are more trustworthy right now. Calvin’s injury has me wary. He’s not a bad play, but I would go with the more consistent Driver.

Q- thanks for reply in my post but i have 1 more question i used all of my FA pick.19 so i cant get anyone else.. and turner is injure..and i thomas jones. back up j. snelling and darren sporlle. should i start snelling or turner?

A: I would go with Jones over both of those guys. I don’t know if I can trust Turner right now and the Bills run defense sucks so Jones should be in for a nice game. The Jets will hand off to him plenty as their passing offense is struggling right now.

Q- true…but my 2nd RB i have no 1..so i need 1 to start sprole, turner, and snelling

A: Oh, gotcha. In that case I like Turner if he gets the start, but I don’t think he’ll play this week and Snelling if Turner is out. Sproles is too inconsistent to be trusted and should only be started if you have no other choice.

Q- I am in a 12 team no PRR league and trying to get into playoffs with an important matchup
Any advice on setting my line up would be highly appreciated.

QB’s - V. Young against Indy or
J. Flaco against Green Bay or A Smith against Seattle

RB’s - 1) J. Addai, against TItans 2) S. Slaton against Jacksonville
3) J. Stewart against Tampa Bay 4) J. Charles against Denver
5) R. Mendenhall against Raiders 5) J. Forsett against 49ers

For my WR’s I am going with R. Moss against Miami and R. White against Eagles or Derek Mason against Green Bay
TE - D. Clark against Titans
Def - Steelers against Raiders

I need to fill 2 WR 2 RB and a Flex RB

Thanks in ADVANCE!!!!!

A: I like this…

QB- Young
RB- Mendenhall, Addai
WR- Moss, White
Flex- Forsett if he’s starting over Jones again, Charles if he’s not
TE- Clark
D- Pit

A: Mike Sims-Walker and Johnson for sure. If Warner is in then go with Boldin. If Warner is out, go with Roddy.

Q- Which QB? Do you think the colts will sit Peyton from here? Peyton Manning or D Mcnabb? Thx!

A: No, the Colts won’t consider sitting Manning until week 17, maybe week 16. He’s good to go for the next few weeks. Start Peyton.

Q- Schaub and JAC or Farve at ARI

A: I like the Old Man. He’s getting it done and Ari’s D can be beat.

Q- Pick 1 Def

SD @ CLE

or

CIN vs DET

I’m thinking SD right now,cuz CLE offense is worse than DET, should I switch?


Pick 3 RB

Deangelo Williams vs TB

Mendenhall vs OAK

Thomas Jones @ BUF

Ricky Williams vs NE

Forsett vs SF

Right now I’ve got the first 3, should I put in Ricky or Justin, or am I OK??

A: D- Chargers. Cle is awful right now.

RBs- I like Forsett if he’s starting, but if he’s not, I’d go with Mendenhall, Ricky, and Jones. DeAngelo is a beast, but he’s in a timeshare, the other 3 are not. If you don’t feel comfortable sitting DeAngelo, then sit Jones.

Q- heres my ? lion i have f gore at seattle peterson at arizona both starting but i got tomlinson sitting on the bench at cleveland what should i do?

A: Gore and AP are both studs and should continue to do well. No way I’d sit either this week. LT has a nice matchup but he hasn’t been as consistent as the other 2. Go with Gore and AP.

Q- which defense should i start Cleveland,Oakland,Jacksonville,or Kansas city. By the way i know these are all bad defenses but i am in a big league and everyone has a d on their bench too.

A: I’d go with Oakland if Big Ben is out, KC if he isn’t

Q- I start 2 WR’s, but who?

1) Roddy White vs. PHI (PHI good pass defense, and Matt Ryan out could hurt)

2) Jason Avant vs ATL (ATL pass D not that good, and Celek and Jax mite be out)

3) Chris Chamber vs DEN (Good DEF, but Chambers #1 option right now)

4) Mario Manningham vs DAL (Manning may be out)

5) Calvin Johnson vs CIN (Good pass defense, but Johnson a BEAST)

A: I like Calvin and Roddy. They other 3 are nice options, but if my season is on the line, I’m going with the guys with more talent and better track records.

Q- were you dissapointed in the pats performance yesterday

A: Extremely, except with Maroney, I thought he looked great. Their offense looked confused and their OLine was terrible. I expected them to win in a shootout. Those days may be over for the Pats unfortunately. Their offense killed a lot of fantasy teams yesterday.

Q- I’m in the last spot to make the playoffs and the person i’m playing against is right behind me…So I need a win…

My Team:

qb- Ben, Gerrard, Ryan
WR - Cotchery, ocho, sims-walker
RB - adrian, forsett, benson, thomas jones
K -Carney
Def - Packers
TE - Miller, Witten

Who do you start this week?? Need help please!! I have to win!

A: QB- Big Ben if he plays, Garrard if he doesn’t.
RB- AP & Benson in a non-PPR league, AP & Forsett in a PPR league and only if Forsett gets the start again this week over Jones
WR- Ocho, MSW
TE- Witten
K- Carney
D- GB

Q- thank you…what about thomas jones against buffalo and having him start with adrian peterson??…I have percy harvin as well who i forgot to mention as I will for sure start him…..so start ocho and sims-walker?

A: Thomas Jones should have a good game because he’ll touch the ball 20+ times and the Bills D sucks so I would feel comfortable with starting him this week as well. Percy has been awesome lately and a sexier play over MSW. Start MSW if you want to play it safe, Percy if you need to take a gamble.

Q- TO or Bolden? new qb in buffalo! Fred Jackson or Larry Johnson against detroit? I am sitting 2nd and my line up is Cutler, chris Johnson,Randy Moss, Miles Austin, Minn D! What You Think?

A: I like Boldin but only if Warner plays. Otherwise go with TO but temper expectations. TO has been hot but he could get shut down vs Jets CB Revis who has been shutting down everyone this year. Go with Fred Jackson over LJ. He’ll probably start again this week and Benson is back for Cincy. The rest of your team looks good! You might want to add another QB like Alex Smith or Vince Young in case Cutler continues to suck.

Q- Need 3 WRs

Britt @ IND
Bryant @ CAR
Crabtree @ SEA
Edwards @ BUF

Sitting Edwards right now, should I make a switch??

A: No I wouldn’t. I like those 3. Edwards is a dog. I don’t trust him.

Q- benson(coming off injury) vs detroit. or maroney(playing great) vs miami? I am currently in first and have steven jackson and ray rice starting, so my question is for my flex spot. I need this win to seal up first going into the playoffs.

A: I think the emphatic announcement of Benson’s return speaks volumes about their confidence in him. I’d go with him vs Det’s awful defense. If you’re nervous because of the presence of LJ then go with Maroney, but keep in mind Sammy Morris is back for NE and could cut into Maroney’s production. Morris was the starter over Maroney before he got hurt earlier this year.
