November 28, 200718 yr I basically have to win out in order to make the playoffs in this league. My team is primed for it except for 1 thing this week. I have Favre, Jennings and Grant on my team and I also have Dallas' defense/special teams. I am not starting grant this week, I am putting Jones-Drew in instead. Even so, the only defenses on the waiver are: Rams Cardinals Bengals Texans Saints Bills Falcons Eagles Panters 49ers Dolphins Jets What a mess! :confused:

They're playing better and they're hosting the Falcons. They should get you some points.
November 28, 200718 yr Author Not really...pick up the Rams D. They're playing better and they're hosting the Falcons. They should get you some points. That was my thinking too, I just can't shake this feeling of doom. I am going up against the guy who had Brady and Moss, I beat him earlier in the season, but this one worries me more than ever.

I think they play the 49ers this week (although 49ers went wild last weekend). Actually, I'd try the Rams.

November 28, 200718 yr This may sound crazy.....but.......the Bengals D may not be a bad choice for this week. It is possible that the weather is going to be bad again in Pitt and everone saw that field on Monday night! Also, for some reason the Bengals have played very well in Pitt the last few years.
November 28, 200718 yr If you're just looking at this week, I'd go with the Panthers against the 49ers. But for the long run, I'd go with the Cardinals.
November 28, 200718 yr Author I don't need to worry about the long run, Dallas has been great for me. It is just that I don't want to be losing points from my D as my QB and WR score.
November 28, 200718 yr If you're just looking at this week, I'd go with the Panthers against the 49ers. But for the long run, I'd go with the Cardinals. Agreed, in my league I have Pitt (vs. Cincy) and JAX (vs. Indy) defenses so I picked up Carolina so I don't have to root against Cincy.
November 28, 200718 yr I don't need to worry about the long run, Dallas has been great for me. It is just that I don't want to be losing points from my D as my QB and WR score. To be honest, I wouldn't feel bad about playing Dallas this week. But, if you're set against it, Carolina and St. Louis are the only real options to consider for this week.
November 28, 200718 yr Agreed, in my league I have Pitt (vs. Cincy) and JAX (vs. Indy) defenses so I picked up Carolina so I don't have to root against Cincy. Indy's offense hasn't been very good lately...I'm not so sure I wouldn't play the Jags D against them this week and see what happens. Peyton has 5 TD's and 8 Int's in the past 3 games...and 3 of the TD's came against Atlanta. The Jags are playing great right now, and they've been known to play the Colts really tough...I think I'd take my chances.

The Jags are playing great right now, and they've been known to play the Colts really tough...I think I'd take my chances. Division game against the Jaguars makes me think that Indy's going to step it up...Also I think that Harrison will come back for this game, because if they lose they are tied for the division league. But you are right, the numbers aren't bad in Jax's favor. Thing is though, I already won my league, so it doesn't matter what I do.
November 28, 200718 yr To be honest, I wouldn't feel bad about playing Dallas this week. But, if you're set against it, Carolina and St. Louis are the only real options to consider for this week. I'm guessing that his QB is Favre and his WR is Jennings or Driver.
November 28, 200718 yr Author To be honest, I wouldn't feel bad about playing Dallas this week. But, if you're set against it, Carolina and St. Louis are the only real options to consider for this week. Well I am going up against: QB:Brady RB:Reggie Bush RB:Kevin Jones WR:Randy Moss WR:Derrick Mason WR:Nate Washigton TE:Gates K:Jeff Reed Defense/specialteams: Chargers My current starting lineup against him is: QB: Favre RB: Steven Jackson RB: Maurice Jones Drew WR: Greg Jennings WR: Marques Colston WR: Kevin Walter TE: Ben Watson K: David Akers Defense/Special Teams: Cowboys Only reason I beat him the week I did was because he had the chargers defense playing against the Patriots. At the time I didn't have quite so good a team, I didn't have Favre, Jennings, or Walter. On the bench for me right now: QB: J. Campbell RB: Marion Barber, Ryan Grant WR: Amani Toomer DST: Rams
November 28, 200718 yr Author I'm guessing that his QB is Favre and his WR is Jennings or Driver. Precisely! I also have Ryan Grant.
