man, you know it's bad WR, when you have to give an example, but you can be sure that there will be posts that don't follow the rules. lol

 

WDIS Ted Ginn @ATL or Donnie Avery @SEA or Justin Gage @PIT. We start 3 WRs and my other starters are Anquan Boldin and Braylon Edwards. We get 10yds/pt rushing and receivning, td/6pts.

don't know the scoring for foxsports but i need 2 out of 4 WRs: Anthony Gonzalez vs. JAC, Derrick Mason vs. KC, Dwayne Bowe @BAL or Donnie Avery @SEA.

Also, who should I start at RB with MJD and Leon Washington (he's at flex): Pierre Thomas vs. DET, Correll Buckhalter @CIN or Laurence Maroney @BUF? thanks

 

first one Avery, trufant is on the PUP and seattle's pass defense is going to be bad.

second one Bowe and Avery, Bowe is a NBYS (never bench your studs) and baltimore's defense took some hits in the secondary this offseason. I don't like the matchup for gonzo and derrick mason is not a weekly starter in my opinion

third, the obvious choice is Thomas against detroit, but he is questionable at this point and there is a real possibility that he won't play, if he does, then you play him, if thomas is out, then I would play maroney, Denver is moreno's show and in NE there is at least going to be a rotation so would get more snaps from maroney than you would buckhalter.

 

You ain't kidding. You can look back at the WDIS threads from the past 2 seasons and see just that. Player names are useless without giving minimal background info like scoring and number of starters. Years ago I used to post on the KFFL WDIS threads and adopted their hardcore stance on following that rule. No team info = no WDIS help. :icon_cool:

 

WDIS:
Lance Moore vs Det
Laveraneus Coles vs Den

 

it only took a couple of posts, lol

 

ahh heck it

 

it's really that difficult to post

1pt/10 yards, ppr or no ppr, we start 3 WR's I have to decide between A or B?

 

WDIS Vincent Jackson vs Oakland or Ray Rice vs KC as a flex
RuReYd - Rushing and Receiving Yards 1+ RuReYd = 1 point for every 10 RuReYds
RuTD - Rushing TD Plus 5 points for a RuTD of 1 to 10 Yds
Plus 6 points for a RuTD of 11 to 29 Yds
Plus 7 points for a RuTD of 30 to 49 Yds
Plus 8 points for a RuTD of 50+ Yds
RuYd - Rushing Yards 0+ RuYds = 0 points for every 500 RuYds
Plus a 3 point bonus @ 100+ RuYd
Plus a 3 point bonus @ 200+ RuYd
ReTD - Receiving TD Plus 5 points for a ReTD of 1 to 19 Yds
Plus 6 points for a ReTD of 20 to 39 Yds
Plus 7 points for a ReTD of 40 to 59 Yds
Plus 8 points for a ReTD of 60+ Yds
ReYd - Receiving Yards 10+ ReYds = 0 points for every 10 ReYds
Plus a 3 point bonus @ 100+ ReYd
Plus a 3 point bonus @ 200+ ReYd
Recpt - Reception 10+ Recpts = 1 point for every 1 Recpt
Plus a 3 point bonus @ 7+ Recpt
Ru2P - Rushing Two-point Conversion 2 points

 

yep

 

I'd go Rice against KC in that spot....he should put up solid stats and has the potential for a huge game. If Nmandi is playing Jackson may not get a whole lot.

 

Brandon Marshall or Dwayne Bowe 1/10 yrds 6/td

 

Bowe, Marshall hasn't played the whole offseason and might not know the playbook yet. He has no rapport with Orton and I think Bowe should be a beast this year.

 

eddie royal or reggie bush? ppr

 

Go with Eddie Royal. Bush is just getting back.

 

i guess im asking if i should MAYBE take a chance on bush over one of kevin smith, eddie royal, anquan boldin or steve smith (car)

or leave it as is

 

You have to keep S.Smith, Boldin, and Royal. Now K. Smith or Bush they are playing against each other. The Saints defense is not good and the Detroit Lions defense also isn't great, but K. Smith is going to get the majority of the carries. I'd go with K. Smith.

 

the thing about bush is hes running behind a better line and going against a worse defense than smith....if pierre thomas is really out and bush is really good to go he should do some major damage to detroit both on the ground and get receptions out the butt. i hope bush makes me look like a genius but im not banking on it

 

Is Pierre Thomas really out for sure. That is something you should monitor because if Thomas is out than I would say go with Bush over K. Smith.
