Week 9 Fantasy Musings...& Picks
I need to recap my recent picks at some point, but at the moment I'm too busy trying to decide who to start at flex and at QB this week. At QB I'm debating between Matt Schaub and Ryan Fitzpatrick. At flex I'm weighing Pierre Garcon, Tampa Bay's Mike Williams, LaGarrette Blount, and really that's it. Jahvid Best, Steve Johnson, Marshawn Lynch, and Seattle's Mike Williams don't make the cut.
ESPN likes Pierre Garcon the most, but they don't seem to be factoring in the return of Austin Collie. Since Mike Williams is a clear #1 receiver, I'm leaning his way. LaGarrette Blount faces a Falcons defense that hasn't given up much to opposing RBs, though they've been a bit more generous with WRs; one more reason to start Williams, and pray that Jacob Tamme gets me the points that Garcon does not.
I'm leaning Fitzpatrick over Schaub. While I might not do so otherwise, I have Arian Foster and Andre Johnson starting, and playing 3 Texans makes my team way too Texan dependant. If Schaub gets a bunch of points it almost guarantees that Johnson is going off as well. On the other hand, last week Foster and Johnson got me about 60 points, while Schaub got me (or rather my bench) a whopping five.
It's sort of sad that my opponent can start a stiff like Mark Sanchez and have a good chance of outscoring me at QB. At least he hasn't noticed that Vernon Davis has a bye.
Somehow enough Eagle $$ came in to eleminate the extra Colt vig. Fine by me. I've been trying to figure out why the Eagles are favored by 3, and the only thing I can come up with is Michael Vick love. Vick is enough of a wild card that I don't mind fading him, especially getting points. indianapolis(+3)over PHILADELPHIA.
The Bucs at Falcons line opened at 8 or 8.5, and has balooned to 10. Did Josh Freeman break a leg? If so, I hope I piece this together before I start Mike Williams today.
