Fantasy football question..Moreno, Slaton, Forsett, etc.

  • SportsAndLady
    What do you guys think:

    Moreno thurday night against the Giants...Giants have been giving up some serious points.

    Steve Slaton against Indy

    Justin Forsett against St Louis

    Cedric Benson against Cleveland.

    Now obviously Forsett and Benson are must starts against bad defenses, but Benson might not be healthy, and Julius Jones might be back so Forsett wouldn't get any carries.

    I need 2 of these 4.

    I know Slaton has been iffy this year, but think he is a solid play against Indy.
  • Nate
    Slaton, Forsett.

    I think Benson will be resting some against Cleveland and you will be seeing Scott take more snaps.
  • SportsAndLady
    No one likes Moreno?
  • Laley23
    Id go Slaton and Benson. Problem is you run the risk with Benson of losing out on being able to play Moreno.
  • Nate
    I'd be cautious in starting Forsett now. Jones may be getting some snaps on Sunday also.
  • SportsAndLady
    Should have started Moreno..god damnit

    Now I'll have to start 2 between Slaton, Forsett, and Benson
    I think I'll definitely start benson, I just think he'll play and they're gonna rape the Browns
  • Laley23
    Slaton should be a good play (despite what the experts keep saying). He is starting, although he did last week and had like 5 carries. But the biggest thing is the Colts are gonna be scoring and so the Texans may end up throwing a ton for a lot of the game. If thats the case, Slaton will be in the game for every down.
  • SportsAndLady
    Yeah Slaton is very good in the passing game, so I'm kind of hoping they get the pass game going. If they wanna run, run, run, they'll probably have to split carries between all three of their active backs.

    And probably get smoked! Colts best defense is their passing D, but they will be able to shut down the run of the Texans I think because frankly, its terrible.

    Any news on Adrian Peterson yet? Is he playing today?
  • One Man Gang
    Go get Bernard Scott from Cincinnati

    Cedric Benson is out against Cleveland today
  • SportsAndLady
    How do you know this about Benson..everything I'm reading says he'll play

    S&L, this is from CBS Sportsline:

    "Cedric Benson, RB CIN
    News: The Cincinnati Bengals have made Cedric Benson (hip) inactive for Week 12 against Cleveland. He had been listed as questionable on the injury report and was considered a game-time decision. Bernard Scott started in his place.
    Analysis: Benson was a game-time decision in Fantasy and owners will have to reserve him in all leagues with this news. Keep tabs on Benson leading up to Week 13 against Detroit. Scott is a viable stopgap option where available."

    God..fuckin Yahoo is so slow on that shit, I had him in my starting lineup, that would killed me. Thanks fellas...guess it's Justin Forsett then...sigh
  • One Man Gang
    Forsett will be a pretty good play this week now that Julius Jones is also inactive.

    Same here. I need to get a replacement in now....ugh. And to top it off, Bernard Scott has already been picked up.
  • SportsAndLady
    Julius Jones is inactive??!!

    YESSSSSSS
  • One Man Gang
    Forsett should have a monster game against St Louis
  • I drain 3's
    Need 2 out of the 4.

    Forte against the Vikings.
    C. Williams against the Falcons.
    J. Stewart against the Jets.
    Slaton against the Colts.
  • I drain 3's
    I'm leaning towards Williams and Slaton, seeing as how Stewart isn't the feature back and Forte has had about zero success running the ball, and the Vikings D won't help his case any.
  • SportsAndLady
    Lets see if I can get a quick response on this:

    Should I start Pittsburgh's defense tonight against the Ravens
    or
    Tennessee's defense at 4 pm against a Warner-less Arizona team

    I just picked up Tennessee's defense a minute ago after hearing about Ben Roeth not playing, that defense will be out there all night, and Flacco doesn't usually make mistakes.
  • Laley23
    Id go Steelers. Cards still just dink and dunk down the field when Warner isnt in. They dont have the downfield threat as much, but with Boldin and Fitz a little short pass often turns into a huge gain/TD
  • SportsAndLady
    I also have Fitzgerald on my team, so if he scores, it'll take down Tennessee's defense points, so it's not as good.

    I donno though, I feel like the Steelers are gonna get beat bad sunday with no Roethlisberger, and Arizona usually doesn't do well coming to the east coast.
