Fantasy Football Q&A and an Open Topic Open Thread

by Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. on Sep 30, 2011 8:00 PM CDT in Fantasy Football

Hopefully this thread can fill two needs for everyone; a) provide a place to throw out some fantasy football questions to the knowledgeable Windy City Gridiron members, and b) provide a late night goto in case you just want to vent on some Bears related news. And by 'vent' I of course mean type in foul language.

It's been a trying week for Bears fans. A Packer loss and then the news about the Walter Payton book.

Remember to open thread responsibly.

open threads allow use of the 7 dirty words

What are those 7 again?

And are limited to the use of those 7, or can we use some creative license?

Are words like Douchebagsuckingtakinguptheasssonofabitch allowed?

You seriously have 7 teams?!

Foster and Smith (he’s starting)
Foster and Bryant (if healthy), Smith if not
Moss and Benson or Blount (probably not a big difference)
Manning
Washington, but he’s got Haden covering him- better than anyone else. Maybe McCluster or LT (Jets may be down)
Lloyd and Moore (will be down against Pats)
Branch and Jones

How the fuck am I supposed to fucking post responsibly

in a fucking open post thread? Watch my cock sucking language? Be careful I don’t offend any bitches and bastards? Be sure not to piss of any assholes that may disagree with me? Not attract douche bag trolls like a whore attracts the clap? Or was that just a general warning to keep people from degenerating into vulgarians?

I have to agree with Da Coach

yeah, I have 5 different teams

PPR League 1 Flex:
Lloyd, Benson or Meachem

PPR RB league 2
Woodhead, Green-Ellis, or Moreno

Standard Scoring league 3 RB
Hillis, Fred Jackson, Ahmad Bradshaw (pick 2)

D/ST – Falcons or Chargers?

PPR league – Big Ben or Cutler?? negative points for INC, sacks and INTs.

by Minds_Eye024 on Sep 30, 2011 10:36 PM CDT reply actions

Shit, damn, fuck, bitch, whore...

I guess i’m the only fuckin’ one to answer any shit-ass questions!

Benson and Lloyd unless Colston doesn’t play, then Meachem.
Law Firm and Moreno…fucking ugh!
Freddy and Bradshaw
Chargers, but either one is good.
Big Ben cause Cutler, Martz and the Bears offense is the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.

Hillis and Jackson. Arizona gives up a ton of FPG through the air,

but not very much on the ground.
Go with the Chargers D. Daniel Thomas is out, so Miami’ll be running with Bush/Slaton.
I’d go with the Bathroom Bandit. I trust Houston’s secondary less than I do Carolinas. I think we’ll be running heavy tomorrow.

Standard Yahoo Scoring

We start 3 WRs and 2 RBs:

Pick Two WRs
Santonio Holmes (at Bal)
Mario Manningham (at Ari)
Nate Washington (at Cle)

Leaning towards Homes and Manningham.

Pick One RB
Fred Jackson (at Cin)
Ryan Matthews (Mia)

I have Adrian Peterson as my RB1 and really can’t go wrong with either of the above choices for RB2, but I would love to hear which you prefer. At this point I’m ready to flip a coin.

by Dicky Moe on Oct 1, 2011 1:04 AM CDT reply actions

What the fuck?!

Seriously, someone else answer a fucking ??

Holmes and super Mario- Nate has Haden covering him.
You can’t sit Freddy at this point, but either one should find pay dirt. Matthews has the better matchup but is a little dinged up.

Just a short note about Da Coach.

Ditka is not only a legend, but a damn fine human being.

If I’m Jeff Pearlman, I make certain Iron Mike is out of the city when he visits, otherwise he has a very real reason to fear for his personal safety.

Ditka – Honor, Loyalty, Decency, Da Coach.

pretty good coach and an average human being

damn fine human beings don’t drive drunk

I'd say average at best.

I’ve heard from people I know who’ve had bad experiences w/ Ditka. He’s kind of a dick, but certainly still a legend.

Running Backs

I can start 2:

Matt Forte vs. Carolina
Chris Johnson vs. Cleveland
Ryan Matthews vs. Miami

by Digs D-League on Oct 1, 2011 1:59 PM CDT reply actions

Forte and Matthews.

They’ve both got good matchups, and CJ still hasn’t found his rhythm.

Agreed

Right now CJ couldn’t find his ass with both hands even if you packed it full of uranium and gave him a geiger counter.

Hillis vs Titans or Blount vs Colts?

Or bench Steve Johnson for Hillis for the flex?

by T.Moore on Oct 1, 2011 9:17 PM CDT reply actions

Have a receiver issue.....

Which 2 should I start out of these 3…

Nate Washington, Julio Jones or David Nelson?

I was thinking of benching Jones but Roddy is a little banged up and I figure the Seahawks are going to double White. Washington has been playing well but he does have Joe Haden covering him and I have a feeling that CJ is going to get it going today so that’ll limit what Washington will do. I am leaning towards starting Nelson because he’s been playing well and the Bills are a pass-happy team. Any thoughts?
