Johnson HAS to play well eventually. Doesn't he?

Like rogermexico pointed out in his thread, surely you can find a better WR.
― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Saturday, 5 November 2005 01:33 (eighteen years ago) link
He can play like Jerry Rice on Scooby Snacks the rest of the way. Last I checked, receivers only put up fantasy points if the QB can get them the ball, and the line still isn't givving Carr time for downfield strikes. (Though to be fair Jabar Gaffney's been consistent pointswise in Johnson's absence. Not helping so much on the field, but not costing anyone fantasy games.)
I'm benching Donovan vs. Washington and playing Eli vs. th' Niners. Lack of faith or right place right time?YOU MAKE THE CALL!
Has Eli shown us anything on the road yet (erm, no. Unless you count the road game against the Saints). That said, if you take TO's word for it McNabb's not getting any healthier, and Denver may have just showed a pretty good, and pretty pissed off defensive unit how to handle him. Though if he plays there is that whole not-running-the-ball thing...
It's a tough call, but I'd go with Manning. He has to grow up sometime, might as well be now. And even if the Niners are healthy on defense now he ought to be able to chuck it to Shockey, rinse and repeat. Plus, y'know, Amani Toomer sightings have been reported.

Oh, and, uh, so Eli Manning @SF vs. D-Mac @WAS is looking pretty good right now. That roaring sound you hear is LJ Smith owners rejoicing over TO's suspension.

In the WR department, I'm thinking Wilford (JAX WR2) is a decent pickup. Burleson (MIN WR1) too. My league has a very shallow bench, so I'm not big on one-week plays, otherwise I'd be taking a good look at Bryant Johnson (ARI WR2).
RBs: EBennett, DStaley, SGado, GJones, JWells.

Advice: If Jones cannot go this weekend, rookie Cedric Benson will get the starting nod for Chicago, while Adrian Peterson should get a few touches as well. On the season, Jones has 753 yards on 167 carries and six touchdowns in eight games. He also has 17 receptions for 66 yards.

Looks like he had an ankle injury to overcome. He's a fast corner, but not a shut-down corner by any means. His return yardage will probably be his greatest asset.

kevin walter is a solid fantasy wr. if the texans offense is clicking he will get points. kc defense has been tight this year but houston are at home and they will get a lot of the ball.
― MAX NOT FOR MOD (Roberto Spiralli), Thursday, 14 October 2010 18:30 (thirteen years ago) link

the rule is: if you start a guy who is banged-up, he will either not play or barely play. if you bench a guy who is banged-up, he will score 3 TDs.

My team: http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/clubhouse?leagueId=525972&teamId=6
So this point in the season I'm second place in the league, and I've got some killer players (only lack of depth is at QB). Briefly for those who don't want to click the link, I've got Arian Foster, AP, LeSean McCoy, Mike Williams (Sea), Miles Austin, Mike Wallace (Pit), Steve Smith (Carolina), and Lee Evans. (I also have Anthony Armstrong + Nate Burleson.) I feel like I can dish out Lee Evans and maybe someone like Mike Williams or even Anthony Armstrong for a strong starting option, but I stink at doing trades. I'm soliciting any advice. Another team offered DeAngelo Williams for Lee Evans + Mike Williams, but I'm iffy on DW being a legit starter this year. What do you guys think? Any trades you can recommend me pursuing or should I sit on what I've got? I always feel like I blow it around this time of the year, either by making a stupid trade that I didn't need to do (I dished out Steve Slaton two years ago which ended up costing me the league championship) or missing a great opportunity to unload excess decent guys for a real starter.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 26 October 2010 16:20 (thirteen years ago) link
I had DW in both of my leagues and I finally just dropped him off in one because he's dead weight. I'd keep Lee Evans, actually, because Ryan Fitzpatrick not only likes to throw, but he's pretty good at it.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 26 October 2010 16:36 (thirteen years ago) link
DW is still a good back but he and Stewart can't do much until they establish a consistent passing game.
